Chapter 181 The Educated Female Youth of the Time 6
Chu Yuan roughly understood the situation and sighed in his heart that this Qiao Zhiqing was really a smart man.
Judging from her many years of medical experience, this Qiao Zhiqing was definitely not as weak as the doctor said. On the contrary, he had a rosy complexion and was in perfect health.
However, the fact that he was able to get a diagnosis certificate from the town's doctor shows that he not only has money but also connections. It's better not to offend such a person.
The next morning, Liu Dajun came to the educated youth site to find Chu Yuan.
"Chu Zhiqing, I've already found someone to repair the house. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Chu Yuan paid for the renovation of the house. She asked Liu Dajun to lead people to build two high walls to enclose her room, and opened a small door on the side leading to the kitchen and toilet in the yard.
Two additional compartments were built in the corner of the wall to serve as her bathroom and utility room.
A clay stove was built next to the utility room so that she could have an excuse to cook when she didn't want to.
Fortunately, the landlord's yard is big enough for Chu Yuan to do so much.
It is not the busy farming season now, so Liu Dajun and his men took three days to help Chu Yuan finish building the house. The labor cost plus material cost totaled 12 yuan.
In this way, except for the toilet and kitchen that Chu Yuan has to share with others, everything else can be done in his own courtyard.
Looking at this little house that belongs to him, Chu Yuan suddenly feels that life in the countryside is not bad.
The same night the house was completed, she moved in with her luggage and spread her bedding on the bed.
Now I can finally sleep well and improve my food.
During the past few days at the educated youth center, Chu Yuan had to wait until everyone had finished cooking before he could use the kitchen because it was not suitable for everyone to eat together.
They could only make things like steamed corn bread and barley porridge to fill their stomachs.
For the first meal after moving, Chu Yuan took out a cured fish from the package and made stir-fried cured fish with green peppers.
The tangy smell of meat kept Qiao Xunxiang awake. He was puzzled. He clearly had enough food in his stomach, so why was he still so greedy?
After more than ten minutes of psychological struggle, he finally got up from the bed and knocked on the small door of the next yard.
"Hello, can I exchange these two apples for a piece of fish?"
Chu Yuan looked at the big red apple in his hand and hesitated for a moment.
There are plenty of these apples in her space, but if she acts like she doesn't care at all, people will definitely notice something strange.
You have to know that fruits in this era are more scarce than meat, not to mention that the man in front of you is holding two.
In order not to reveal his flaws, Chu Yuan took the plate and apple from his hand: "I'll get you a piece."
After getting the fish he had been longing for, Qiao Xun carried the plate back to his room.
You won’t know how good it is until you try it. I was shocked by the cooking skills of my new neighbor. It was simply a delicious delicacy.
But why couldn't he fall asleep even after he had eaten the fish? It must be because the fish was too small and not enough.
The next morning, Qiao Xun took a stack of banknotes and stopped Chu Yuan in the yard as he was about to leave: "Chu Zhiqing, I want to discuss something with you."
Then he expressed his desire to cook with her, and he would pay and Chu Yuan would provide the cooking skills.
This would seem like a good thing to anyone, but Chu Yuan refused without even thinking about it, as she didn't want to be a cook for others.
Qiao Xun was very surprised by her answer. He stood there blankly with the money in his hand, looking as if the sky had fallen.
Why? Why did he allow delicious food to appear in his life, but then leave him so ruthlessly?
When Chu Yuan went out, he saw him still standing in the yard and kindly reminded him, "Hey, aren't you going to work yet? You're going to be late."
This sentence brought Qiao Xun back to reality, and he hurried back to the house to get his things.
Chu Yuan came to the wheat field. The job she had been assigned these days was weeding. With her speed, she could basically finish the job in half a day.
Because there is spiritual spring water that can restore physical strength, pulling weeds is not tiring for her.
The villagers also looked at her with admiration. They thought she was a delicate young lady, but they found out that she was more capable than many other girls in the village.
People's attitude towards her became more and more friendly, and many people would greet her when they met her on the street.
The days passed like this, day after day, and soon it was the once-a-month day off, and she prepared to take a tractor ride to the town to have a look.
A lot of things happened in the village during this month. A new group of educated youth came to Baiyun Village. This time there were four people, three women and one man.
There was another commotion at the educated youth center because of the accommodation issue, as there was one extra girl at the girls' place and neither of the two rooms wanted to accommodate her.
Later, the village chief brought people and arranged for the extra female educated youth to live with a villager, and only then was the matter barely suppressed.
After this incident, he liked Chu Yuan and Qiao Xun more and more. It would be great if all the educated youth in the village were willing to spend money to rent a house like them.
Unfortunately, in this world, everyone believes that money should be spent wisely.
The matter of the educated youth point had nothing to do with Chu Yuan. She was now at the town’s post office, and she wanted to send a letter to her family to explain her situation here.
In the letter, she wrote about her move into a rented house. Most of the villagers in Baiyun Village took good care of her. Recently, she was working with the aunts to weed and earn six work points a day.
Anyway, she just told the truth about her life here, because she lived really well here and there was no need for her family to worry about her.
After sending the letter, she took out the letter sent back by her parents and a remittance slip with a face value of 20 yuan.
This also became her obvious source of funds, because there were two educated youth who came to the post office with her, Zhang Ya and Xu Jiajia, who had lived in the same room with her at the time. They both saw the remittance slip in her hand.
Chu Yuan did not tell the truth about the amount above, he only said that his parents would send him 10 yuan every month.
But 10 yuan was a considerable sum of money for them, and both of them looked at her with envy.
After leaving the post office, Chu Yuan went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Because she had no chance to buy meat during this period, she had been eating the cured fish, cured meat, and cured sausages in the space. Now that she finally came to the town, she must bring some meat back.
The meat in the supply and marketing cooperative had been sold out by then, and she didn't even see any minced meat. However, she had plenty of this stuff in her space, so coming to the supply and marketing cooperative was just a formality.
After visiting the supply and marketing cooperative, there is one last destination for this trip, which is the scrap collection station that is said to be able to make people rich.
Chu Yuan came to the door of the scrap collection station with a backpack on his back and said the classic line of the heroine of the period novel: "Grandpa, can I go in and find some newspapers to paste on the wall?"
Of course, I didn’t forget to stuff the two White Rabbit milk candies in my hand into the old man’s hands.
"Go in, and don't take anything you shouldn't."
