The poor person Aunt Wang mentioned, Carpenter Sun, was not from this village. He came here to escape famine. He had no house and no money, but he still had a craft.
Later, he married a girl named Wang from the village who had been in bad health since childhood, and finally gave birth to Sun Jianguo, but his health was also injured.
When Sun Jianguo grew up, he was very promising. He joined the army, his position rose steadily, his allowance was sent back every month, he married a wife who was a nurse, and gave birth to a lovely boy.
The old couple thought that their hardships had finally come to an end. Unexpectedly, both husband and wife died on the battlefield. The army sent the child back to the old couple. Aunt Sun's family was already weak, and the sudden bad news was even more direct. He killed her, and from then on Carpenter Sun took care of his little grandson Goudan alone.
Seeing that he was pitiful and good at crafts, the village asked him to do some carpentry work at home, and he was given 8 work points every day. When someone came to buy things, they would also give him some crafting fees. With this skill With craftsmanship and pensions, the grandfather and grandson can barely make ends meet.
"Grandpa, Grandma Wang is here, come out quickly." Goudan shouted towards the house when he saw someone coming.
"Here, why did the big girl come to my place today? Do you want to buy something?" Lin Ru saw the person coming, his body was a little thin and his waist was slightly stooped.
"It's these two new educated youths who want to change things." Aunt Wang said and let the two people following her out.
"Hello, Uncle Sun, I want a kang cabinet, two straw mats, two baskets, one big and one small, two washbasins, and a straw hat."
Shen Xiyan After hearing this, he thought for a while: "I want the same thing as her."
"Okay, they are all kept in the room next to it. You can just go to the brigade headquarters and pay the money and come over to get it."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Sun." Lin Ru said and took out two dollars and put them on the table. Seeing this, Shen Xiyan also gave two dollars.
"You won't need so much. The wood is approved by the village for free, and the brigade also deducted centimeters."
"Uncle Sun, just accept it. Maybe in the future I still need to trouble you, so we’re leaving. Come over later to get something.”
Lin Ru saw Goudan standing by and looking at them curiously, then walked over and gave him some fruit candies. Suddenly, his little eyes were bright, but he looked at Grandpa with some uncertainty.
Sun Carpenter looked at the child's eager eyes and nodded. Goudan immediately stuffed the candy into his pocket and smiled sweetly at Lin Ru: "Thank you, sister!"
"Goudan is so polite." Lin Ru touched Goudan's head, liking this sensible yet pitiful child very much.
After thanking Aunt Wang, they separated. Lin Ru and Shen Xiyan went to the brigade headquarters to pay the money and receive food rations. They were so inexperienced that they did not expect to bring their own food bags, so they changed to another food bag. bag.
With the help of the male educated youth, I brought back all the things I bought from Carpenter Sun and packed them up, thinking that I could finally lie down and sleep at night!
I haven’t taken a shower in the past few days while taking the train. I didn’t feel it before. Now when I think about taking a shower, my whole body feels dirty and itchy.
There is no special place for bathing in the educated youth spot. In the summer, the male educated youth go to the river, while the female educated youth just scrub in the kitchen. If they want to take a good bath, they have to go to the county bathhouse.
After dinner, I quickly went to the kitchen to close the door and prepare to take a bath first. I thought I should buy a bathtub and put it in the space so that I could take a bath.
I added some well water from the space when washing. Don’t tell me, my skin feels more moisturized and shiny after washing. It seems that well water is a good thing. Drink more and use it more to stay youthful. The eternal old fairy, haha...
While she was feeling proud, she seemed to feel eyes on Lin Ru. Could someone be peeping? She quickly got dressed and walked out. There was no one in the kitchen. But she didn't think she was wrong.
Sure enough, Lin Ru carefully inspected the wall that felt problematic and found a small hole. Block the hole with paper first, and then patch it up again, but I don’t know who is this peeping person?
Seeing that Shen Xiyan wanted to take a shower, Lin Ru told her about it, and then she prepared a curtain to go in. Since this matter was not glorious and it was not easy to publicize it, she could only observe it secretly. , I hope I can catch this peeping tom soon.
I can finally lie down and sleep. I can go to the county town tomorrow and the space can finally be used. I am afraid that I will be too excited to fall asleep and fall asleep soon.

There happened to be an ox cart going to the county town today, and several new educated youths got on the cart after paying a dime each.
We were not very familiar with each other, so they separated when they arrived at the county town. Jiang Chenxi and Shen Xiyan left together as a matter of course.
Lin Ru was afraid that Lin’s parents would be worried, so she went to the post office and wrote a letter to her family to report that she was safe. After writing the letter, she asked about the package without her, and then prepared to go to the legendary black market to have a look. .
She found a deserted place and entered the space to disguise herself. When she came out, she was still carrying the backpack she had brought from the educated youth center.
Based on my past experience of reading novels, I found a small alley. I felt happy when I saw people coming out of it, thinking that this must be it.
When I walked inside, I saw someone standing there. When I saw Lin Ru passing by, I quickly scanned her warily.
"What are you doing?"
"Buying something."
"Pay five cents."
Lin Ru handed over the money. Go, the man stepped out of the way to let her in. When she got inside, she found that there were quite a lot of people inside.
There are people selling things on both sides of the road, but not all the things are displayed. Some only bring out samples, and some just open a hole in the cloth on the backpack, probably to consider what happens if there is a situation. words, so it’s easier to pack up and run away.
Lin Ru wandered around for a long time, and finally found wheat and husked rice, which are wheat itself, not ground into flour. These two types should be grown in the space. I also bought an old hen and six chicks, and thought about putting them in a space to try to see if they could survive.
After carrying the things on my back, I left the black market and found a secluded place with no one to enter the space. The chicks didn’t feel any discomfort and were jumping happily. Yes, now I can safely raise all kinds of chickens in it. Small animals.
With a thought, all the wheat and rice seeds were planted neatly in the ground, but Lin Ru was so happy that she watered them with some water to help them grow up quickly.
Lin Ru changed her clothes and walked to the supply and marketing cooperative with only an empty basket on her back, thinking that she would have to buy toothbrushes, towels and other things this time.
When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and saw the crowded scene, Lin Ru's scalp went numb, but she couldn't allow her to back down, so she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, and rushed in.
After being stepped on countless times and losing two ounces of flesh, I finally bought what I wanted. Looking at the backpack filled with things, I thought that the squeeze was not in vain, and I felt happy.
This time I not only bought all the daily necessities, but also bought peppers, bay leaves, cinnamon and other seasonings that were not available in the space. It is no problem to cook in the space.
The operation was as fierce as a tiger's, and I was very hungry. Look, it's getting late. She's coming to the legendary state-owned hotel. I hurried over and found that it was full, with almost no empty seats. Several other educated youths who had come with me were also sharing a table.
"Lin Zhiqing, here."
Shen Xiyan saw Lin Ru coming in and hurriedly waved her over to sit down. Walking over, they found that Shen Xiyan and Jiang Chenxi had braised pork, fried fungus, and stir-fried vegetables in front of them. Gu Mohan had a plate of dumplings in front of them, Zhang Weiguo had a bowl of meat sauce noodles, and Zhang Yan had a bowl of plain noodles.
"Then I'll sit here." Lin Ru said and put her backpack on the open space next to her, walked to the window and finally bought the braised pork she had been longing for, and also bought a bowl of rice, both of which went well together. What a treat together!
I couldn’t wait to pick up a piece with chopsticks. Before I put it in my mouth, the unique strong sugar aroma hit my nose, and the entrance was smooth, tender, oily but not greasy. , it melts in your mouth and is so satisfying.
I finished eating the braised pork and rice before I knew it, and my stomach was full. I will buy a few more portions next time and put them in the space to eat slowly. Anyway, the space also has the function of keeping fresh. It looks the same when you put it in, and it looks the same when you take it out.
After enjoying a nice lunch, I asked if it was still early, why not go to the scrap station and look for high school textbooks to prepare for the college entrance examination early, and play a treasure hunt game by the way, I don’t know. Will you find any treasures by going to this must-visit place for the heroine?
