Susie bought a dozen envelopes and ten stamps at the post office. Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Susie went in and bought a kerosene stove, a kerosene lamp, and a few kilograms of kerosene.

Just as she was about to come out, she thought about it and bought two more decks of cards.

There aren't many entertainment activities these days, so Ruan Zhonghua and the others can't just go by and just sit together and stare at each other.

When I came out, I heard Zhao Tingting say, "Hey, why is Qin Man crying there?"

Su Qian looked over and saw Qin Man standing on the street staring blankly not far away, tears falling silently.

She followed Qin Man's line of sight and saw Chen Changqing walking side by side with a girl. The two were talking and laughing. However, Chen Changqing was fully focused on the girl. From time to time, he opened his hands to block the passers-by for the girl.

Didn't seem to see them.

Su Qian was a little surprised. Is Qin Man broken in love?

She had long noticed that there was a slight ambiguity between Chen Changqing and Qin Man. Their body language was closer than that of others, and the safe distance between them was obviously smaller than that of others.

She has studied micro-expressions and body language in acting, and she can see through these at a glance.

Tian Xiaohui also saw it, and she asked gossiping: "Who is the girl next to Chen Changqing? She doesn't look like she is in our team."

Ruan Zhonghua glanced at her and said, "The daughter of Director Bai of the Commune Revolutionary Committee."

Wang Jihong muttered: "I've heard that the two of them are friends, and it turns out it's true."

Ruan Zhonghua didn't like Chen Changqing very much. He had the drive to fawn over and study everywhere. Once he accidentally learned about his father's identity, he became extremely enthusiastic towards him.

He doesn't like such people.

He turned his head and said, "Let's go."

Tian Xiaohui suddenly said: "Wait a minute." Then she ran towards Qin Man.

Tian Xiaohui didn't like Qin Man very much in her heart. She didn't know whether the new educated youth and the old educated youth didn't get along well at the beginning. There was always a gap. However, seeing Qin Man crying so sadly, what did Tian Xiaohui think to say?

We are also an educated youth in the same team, so we still need to be concerned about it.

She walked to Qin Man and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Qin Man closed his eyes and shook his head.

Tian Xiaohui continued to ask, "We are going back now, do you want to come with us?"

Qin Man shook his head again.

"Forget it, let's go back." Tian Xiaohui turned around and quickly caught up with Su Qian and the others in front.

It was only eleven o'clock when we arrived at the collective household. There was no one in the collective household, not even Zhu Zhicheng, who had always been bored in the house.

Susie took out everything from the basket, and put the Xuande stove and a few books back into the room first.

Susie Xuandelu put it directly into the drawer of the cabinet, and placed the books on the table.

When I came out, I saw Tian Xiaohui opening the carton of chickens. The chickens inside were all alive and kicking, chirping and chirping.

Ruan Zhonghua asked: "Do you plan to raise chickens?"

Susie smiled and said, "Well, I want to get some eggs to supplement my nutrition." As she said this, she lifted out the wild bird placed at the bottom of the backpack.

Ruan Zhonghua opened his eyes wide, "Where did you do this?"

Zhao Tingting laughed and said, "You might not believe it, but we picked it up."

She recounted how she picked up the birds. Ruan Zhonghua and Wang Jihong looked at each other and said, "This is a good idea. Let's try it someday. We are also planning to get some air rifles and go to the mountains to collect some things."

When Tian Xiaohui heard about the air rifle, she became excited, "Can you get the air rifle? When will you go? Can you take me with you?"

Ruan Zhonghua glanced at Su Qian and said, "With luck, we can also get a shotgun. When we get it, we will ask you to come with us."

Susie thought for a while, and at this time, it should not be banned yet. Since it is legal, she might as well go and have fun.

She smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Tian Xiaohui jumped up happily next to her. The rural life she imagined was exactly like this. She would go to the mountains to hunt rabbits and pheasants, pick some mushrooms and wild fruits, and so on.

After finishing things, Su Qian let the two of them sit in the room, and Tian Xiaohui made tea for them.

Then Su Qian went into the kitchen to fetch water, and Zhao Tingting lit the fire.

Zhao Tingting asked Su Qian in a low voice, "How many dishes should I cook for lunch?"

Susie originally planned to feed the hens for a few days before killing them, but things changed when guests came.

"Eat the bird for lunch, scramble some eggs, and make some side dishes. Don't let them go at night. Qiao Mu and the others should come back at night, so kill the chicken and eat it."

She took a bowl and went out, "I'm going to Aunt Lan's house to get some vegetables."

Passing by the door of the room, she heard Tian Xiaohui and Wang Jihong talking animatedly, but she didn't hear Ruan Zhonghua's voice. She walked in and saw Ruan Zhonghua sitting at the table, reading a book they had just bought.

Susie glanced at the title of the book, "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual", and she didn't know when she had put this book inside.

She smiled at Ruan Zhonghua and said, "You guys sit down for a while while I go to my fellow villager's house to pick some vegetables."

The courtyard door of Aunt Lan's house was open. Susie walked in and shouted, "Aunt Lan is at home? I'll pick some vegetables."

Suddenly, a spirited young man with a shaved head came out of the room and stared at Susie looking up and down.

The young man looked at her for a while and suddenly smiled at Susie, "What a beautiful girl!"

Su Qi saw that the young man only had admiration in his eyes, and his eyes were not obscene, so she smiled and said, "What a good spirited young man."

The spirited boy's eyes widened. It was common for him to tease girls. The girls he teased usually didn't say anything. Some pretended not to hear, some bowed their heads shyly, and some bold girls gave him a fierce look.

Susie's reaction was the most interesting in his opinion.

The spirited young man laughed, "Not only is the girl pretty, but she also has a sweet mouth. My brother likes it——"

"You damn Liuzi, what are you talking nonsense about? This is our family's honored guest, please don't offend anyone." Aunt Lan came out of the room and interrupted Liuzi's words.

When Liu Zi heard Aunt Lan's words, he thought of something and put away his playful smile.

Aunt Lan pulled Susie into the house, "Are you here to see your Uncle Liao? I just told him that he just came back. He was planning to go find you, and you just came."

Susie couldn't resist Aunt Lan's enthusiasm. She waved the bamboo basket in her hand and said, "Auntie, I have guests here today. Come and pick vegetables."

"I don't have time right now. Wait two days and I'll have a good chat with Uncle Liao."

Aunt Lan was a little disappointed, but she still said enthusiastically: "Picking vegetables, right? You and I will go to the backyard to pick them."

After picking vegetables, Su Qian saw Uncle Liao sitting in the main room. Uncle Liao smiled at her and said, "We have a visitor at home? I just happened to bring some apples back. You can use them to entertain the guests."

The spirited young man Liuzi held a bag full of red apples and stretched them towards her with a smile.
