Chapter 342 Educated Youth in the 7s 8
Zhang Hongmei was a little conflicted. She didn't want to share her money. Although she had some money, she didn't have an industrial ticket and couldn't buy an iron pot. Seasonings also cost money. The key point was that she felt she couldn't do it alone.
But all the new educated youth stuck together, except for her, which seemed a little bad.
She secretly came to Nan Xi, "Xia Zhiqing, what do you think I should do?"
Nan Xi patted her hands and said, "Just eat with everyone. It's good for you and Wang Lihua to cook together."
Zhang Hongmei then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Well, I won't go with you."
She finally felt at ease.
The next day was a holiday, so I could buy everything I needed.
All the educated youth people in the training center are going to the town this time. They finally have a holiday, so they will definitely buy some delicious food to bring back, and they also need to replenish daily necessities.
Therefore, everyone set out in a mighty manner in the morning.
Nan Xi walked again this time. Except for her and Su Fuying, the other female educated youth chose to ride in an ox cart.
Nan Xi breathed a sigh of relief. It would be quiet now if those women who were chattering were gone.
This time, Nan Xi brought back a small iron pot and a ceramic pot. She also bought a kettle and a coal stove. The small stove was only as big as a bucket, but it could be used for hot water and cooking, and it was very convenient.
The only need is to burn coal, but this thing is hard to find. Even if you have coal tickets, it is difficult to buy it.
But there were a lot of honeycomb coals stored in Nan Xi's space, so there was no need to buy them everywhere.
Not to mention honeycomb charcoal, she also has a lot of high-quality smokeless charcoal, barbecue charcoal, bamboo charcoal, fruit wood charcoal, walnut charcoal... and there is no problem using them for a lifetime.
Of course, she still had to find a way to get back, so she rented a bullock cart and had someone take her back.
Everyone at the educated youth site was stunned. Using a coal stove in the countryside was simply too luxurious. The coal reserves in the town must be very small, and it was not enough for the people in the town alone. It was amazing that Xia Zhiqing bought so much.
Wang Lihua's expectations of Nan Xi's wealth have been pushed to a new low. She feels a little regretful. She should have persisted a little longer. Maybe she could have impressed Xia Zhiqing?
"Xia Zhiqing, your stove is really ingenious. It will be very convenient for us to cook in the future."
Nan Xi ignored her. She had completely exploited the original owner. Later, when she was no longer of any use, she sold the original owner to a scoundrel in the village. The original owner refused to live in humiliation, so she hit her head against the wall and died.
Nan Xi wanted to make Wang Lihua experience the same suffering as the original owner in order to relieve her resentment.
Lan Zhuochi and Su Fuying also came back, and they also bought an iron pot and some seasonings.
Wang Lihua's eyes turned red. These two people were together so soon?
She had been trying to please Lan Zhuochi for so long, but to no avail. As soon as Su Fuying came, he turned into a bootlicker, following her around all day long.
Wang Lihua clenched her hands tightly. She was unwilling to give up. Lan Zhuo Chi was hers and Su Fuying could not take it away from her.
"Brother Zhuochi, do your parents know that you spend money like this? This pot is not cheap."
Lan Zhuochi looked at Wang Lihua strangely and said, "Su Zhiqing bought this pot herself. She didn't spend my money. Also, don't call me brother anymore."
Wang Lihua's face turned red with grievance. She simply couldn't believe it. Su Fuying was just a poor guy and there was no way he could have the money to buy an iron pot.
Lan Zhuochi ignored her, helped Su Fuying move her things back to the room, and then went to pack his own things.
When Zhao Zhiqiang and Peng Yang came back, the educated youth site had become numb. They also bought an iron pot. This was the third iron pot they had seen today.
The villagers nearby also got the news and came to watch the fun. There were so many rich people in the educated youth’s site that they were jealous.
"Those city kids in the educated youth camp are really good at what they can do. I wonder what new things they've come up with this time."
An old lady was walking and whispering with her neighbors, and the neighbors were discussing at the same time.
"This stove is a rare item, and it's only used by educated youth. We have plenty of firewood in the countryside, so we don't need this."
"Yeah, what a waste of money."
But they couldn't feel the thick jealousy in the sour tone.
He Xiangdong gritted his teeth secretly. Not wanting everyone to laugh at the educated youth site, he closed the gate.
"Everyone go back, there's nothing to see."
The crowd then dispersed.
A few days later, Zhang Hongmei excitedly told everyone the news she had received.
"Have you heard? The village chief's son who served in the army has returned. I heard that he is going to be introduced to a girl."
Wang Lihua had a look of disdain on her face. She had seen Tang Jianguo before. He was just a rough guy who was not even as good as Lan Zhuochi.
Zhang Hongmei was still talking about her gossip, "I heard that Tang Jianguo is already a battalion-level cadre and can follow the army after getting married."
Liu Chunyan and Zhou Yujie looked at each other and were both a little moved. They compared the ideas in their minds and didn't know what they thought of, but they both laughed.
Wang Lihua curled her lips. What's the point of joining the army? She wanted to go back to the city.
"I don't know which girl will marry into the village chief's family. He has a big house made of blue bricks and tiles, and the yard is very bright."
……
Nan Xi saw Comrade Tang Jianguo in the village the next day.
He was helping his sister Tang Xiaotao weed. He was 1.9 meters tall, which was rare in that era.
Nan Xi just took a look and turned her head away, starting her day's work.
Tang Jianguo had already heard about this group of educated youth from his parents and younger sister, and he was quite curious.
He took a few glances and couldn't take his eyes off her. He saw a girl with a beaming face, chatting and laughing with everyone.
"Little sister, who is that?"
Tang Xiaotao followed her brother's gaze.
"Which one?"
Comrade Tang Jianguo raised his lips and said, "The one with two braids and a little red flower."
?
It was three days later when Nan Xi found out that Zhang Hongmei was going to follow Tang Jianguo to join the army.
"Why so fast?"
Zhang Hongmei blushed, "Comrade Jianguo... his vacation is only ten days..."
Nan Xi sighed, this speed is only possible in this era.
"Comrade Jianguo...?!"
Zhang Hongmei covered her face and accepted everyone's teasing.
Nan Xi took out two pillowcases and gave them to Zhang Hongmei. In that era, giving a pillowcase was considered a valuable gift.
Su Fuying also gave Zhang Hongmei a bed sheet. She had many festive bed sheets, which finally came in handy.
Zhang Hongmei smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. "Xia Zhiqing, Su Zhiqing, take care of yourself and remember to come to the wedding banquet tomorrow."
"Ok."
Nan Xi thought that Lan Zhuochi and Su Fuying were about to get married, but who knew that Zhang Hongmei got married first.
When the wedding banquet was held the next day, all the people from the educated youth site came, as Zhang Hongmei's family members, to give her a dowry.
Wang Lihua looked at the village chief's magnificent blue brick and tile house and felt a little envious. Although she knew that she would be able to return to the city after taking the college entrance examination in a few years, the next few years would be difficult.
She looked at Lan Zhuochi, and her mind became firm again.
Unfortunately, Lan Zhuochi looked at Su Fuying without blinking, and there was no sign of her in his eyes at all.
