Chapter 14: Into the City

Liu Yunqing wants to make a clear way of some things in the hut, so he has to go to the city, and when he comes back, he can say that he sent them from home, otherwise there is no way. After dinner in the evening, Liu Yunqing told Gao Xiaomei and Yang Xiaoling that they were going to the captain's house for a while to ask for leave to go to the city tomorrow, Gao Xiaomei and Yang Xiaoling originally asked for leave to accompany her, Liu Yunqing didn't let her, this leave will deduct work points, work points can be exchanged for food, and now no one has extra food, so they have to earn more work points. Others didn't have a package to take, so she was embarrassed to let others ask for leave to accompany her into the city, and besides, two people accompanied her into the city, how could she smuggle things.

The captain was not surprised when he heard that Liu Yunqing wanted to ask for leave to enter the city, these new educated youths couldn't endure the hardships of going to the field, and it was normal to want to go to the city to send letters home or make phone calls, anyway, without the team's proof, the educated youths couldn't go anywhere, let alone escape. But he still has to say what he should say, otherwise some people want to be lazy and ask for leave for three days and two heads, isn't this nonsense?

"Originally, you have only been here for a few days, and you will not be approved for leave, but you have done a good job for a while, and I will approve it for you this time, but the ugly words are ahead, and you will have to deduct work points if you ask for leave, and you can't ask for leave often, otherwise I can't get over here, and the village chief can't say it."

"I understand, uncle, I'm going to the post office tomorrow to get something, the family said that they would send me something once a month, I will go early and return early, and I won't delay the work in the field." Liu Yunqing knew that the captain was a very good person, and he usually took good care of them, and he also knew that the village chief was the captain of the team's father, and both of them were hard-mouthed and soft-hearted people.

Liu Yunqing lived here for five years in her last life, although she didn't pay much attention to the situation in the village, but she also knew that the atmosphere in the village was good, and the neighbors were also harmonious.

I want to take out the things in the hut and use them brightly, saying that it is the best to send them from home, and the package sent by the house should also arrive in the next two days, just bring them back together.

"Tomorrow the old man at the east end of the village will drive the ox cart into the city to go to the commune to get something for the village and come back, I will go with him, you will leave my door tomorrow morning, and I will take you to the ox cart together, otherwise you will rely on your small body, more than ten miles of mountain roads, it is estimated that it will be dark when you come back, and you are not safe as a little girl."

"Eh, thank you, uncle." Liu Yunqing was even happier when she heard this, otherwise she would be afraid that she would not be able to walk back tomorrow for more than ten miles on two legs.

Liu Yunqing returned to the Zhiqing Point and told Gao Xiaomei and the others about the matter, and they were relieved, otherwise she was really not at ease when she walked so far back and forth on the mountain road.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Liu Yunqing got up, the food ordered by the young people was not good, she walked to the captain's house, while eating the small bread taken out of the hut, all of which were unpacked, and secretly drank a bottle of milk. When she came to the door of the captain, the captain handed her a coarse grain pancake, she didn't want it, and the captain stuffed it for her, "Hurry up and eat, what's polite, it's not a good thing, your aunt got up early in the morning to make it, I specially brought it to you, let's leave too early, your breakfast is definitely not good." ”

Liu Yunqing was holding a soft pancake in his hand, because of the lack of food, it was mixed with dressed rice bran, and it tasted like a throat, which was not comparable to the fine noodle pancakes he had eaten in his previous life, but Liu Yunqing felt extraordinarily fragrant when he ate it, this pancake was squeezed out of his own rations by the captain and given to her, which is rare in this era of food shortage.

"Thank you, uncle, your family's food is not abundant, I ......"

"It's not a good thing, let's make do with it, and warm up after eating, otherwise I will be hungry for a while and sit in an ox cart to freeze people."

When the two walked to the entrance of the village, the old man had already been waiting at the entrance of the village with an ox cart, and when he saw them coming, he said hello and let them get on the ox cart and start swaying towards the city.

No one spoke along the way, and the little drowsiness in Liu Yunqing's body was frozen to the point that there was nothing left, she wished she had a bicycle, but she herself knew that this was purely a pipe dream, and there was only one bicycle in the village, which was still from the trade union.

Liu Yunqing began to imagine a car again, although it is not something that can be driven now, but as long as you think about the more than ten miles of mountain roads, it will take less than half an hour to drive, well, today is another day of envy of cars.

On more than ten miles of mountain roads, the ox cart also walked for more than an hour, and if it was relied on Liu Yunqing's two legs, it was estimated that it would take more than three hours at the minimum, although it was very cold.

After entering the county seat, the captain and they were going to the commune, and Liu Yunqing was going to the post office, not in the same direction, the captain and Liu Yunqing made an appointment to meet at the gate of the commune after finishing their work. Liu Yunqing walked to the door of the post office, the post office happened to be working, Liu Yunqing took the package with the certificate, it was not heavy, she knew what was inside, some of her previous clothes and ten yuan.

In the past, when she was at home, she cooked a lot, and it was not easy to send food, so it was clothes and money, and she could eat the rice balls and noodles sent by her mother in winter. Liu Yunqing went to the largest department store first, walked around, and counted the things sold on the opposite side, and the price was low, which made her sigh.

She came to the residential area familiarly, found a small alley, put on the old clothes sent by the family in turn, smeared her face a little, wrapped her hair tightly with a piece of cloth, and carried the cloth bag into her arms, rummaged in the hut for a long time, and did not find anything easy to tear off the label, and finally found that only the canned fruit was plastic, she took out five cans of canned fruit, tore off the label, put the money and clothes sent by the family in the hut, wrapped the canned food with the cloth outside, and then got up and walked into the district.

In a community to change some money and tickets, another community, to change some, she didn't dare to change more, delayed for a while, came out and took out a few cans of canned food to tear off the label, and turned out a pack of white rabbits, wrapped a few bags of sugar in the hut with kraft paper, wrapped them in cloth, and changed the outfit back to the alley where no one was. She was a little late in this delay, and hurried to the door of the commune, carrying a few large cans and bottles, and she was almost exhausted. Fortunately, the captain didn't come out, Liu Yunqing waited at the door for a while, and the captain and they came out, and there were some farm tools piled up on the ox cart, which seemed to be the things that came to receive today.

"Yun girl, wait for a hurry, let's go." The captain smiled, it seemed that this pair of farm tools brought him a good mood. Liu Yunqing also knows that the current farm tools are all farmers' own homes, and each household is not much, and now the commune issues this batch of farm tools, although it is collectively shared, but the farmers can also borrow it, what kind of work in the village, after these things are used, the efficiency can be improved a lot.

"Uncle, it seems that the commune has issued a lot of things this time, and the efficiency of working in the village will be greatly improved."

"Yes, now the farm tools of every household in the village are dilapidated, and they are tired and tired of work, and they can't do much, but now with this batch of things, we will save a lot of energy, this is something that the family remembers? Looks like a lot. ”

"Yes, uncle, just a few cans of canned food, a few packets of sugar, and a little toffee."

Liu Yunqing took out the white rabbit, took it apart, and wanted to divide a few for the captain and Uncle Fang, who both had children at home.

"This can't be helped, how precious this thing is, how can we eat such a good thing as yours, Yun girl, you quickly put it away." The two simple old men refused again and again, and did not reach out to take her candy.

"Oh, two uncles, I didn't get a lot for you, just a few, you take it home to pick up the children at home, the children like to eat this, don't shirk, I have to let you take care of me more in the village in the future, you don't want it, tell me how to ask you for help in the future."

"We're all doing it, we really can't ask for your precious thing."

"Hurry up and take it, I'm angry if you don't accept it." Liu Yunqing stuffed the sugar into his hands, and the two old men looked at each other, so they had to carefully put the sugar into their arms.

"Yun girl, you uncle deserves it! If you have anything to do in the future, just come to your uncle. The captain said.

"Yes, Yun girl, if you want to bring something from the city in the future, you can come and count it with your uncle." The old square man also continued.

"Okay, okay, in the future, Yun Yatou will have a place to trouble the two uncles." Liu Yunqing said playfully.
