Chapter 248 Self-reliance(2/2)
"Well, let Ning Yu go with me. There are so many people going there that the Educated Youth Office thought we were going to force us to have a baby." Qin Hao said.
Ning Yu smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Although the other brothers in the courtyard were envious, they didn't say anything. After all, there was no donkey cart in the county this time, and the whole journey was done on two legs. It was not an easy job.
Just when Qin Hao was about to leave, Qin Ling stood up and said, "I'm going too."
"No, what are you going to do?" Ning Yu said impatiently before Qin Hao spoke.
Qin Ling ignored him and said to Qin Hao: "The great leader said that women can hold up half the sky. Don't look down on women. Since everyone is petitioning together, we female educated youth must also contribute."
"That's right, you are not allowed to look down on others!" Zhong Ling pouted and stood next to Qin Ling, and the other female educated youths also echoed.
Seeing this, Qin Hao could only agree to take her with him: "You can follow us, but we have agreed to three chapters. You have to keep up with our pace. If you can't stand it halfway, no one will send you back."
"Hmph, don't look down on others. I've walked more mountain roads than all of you combined." Qin Ling raised his chin proudly.
In this way, the three of them packed their simple luggage and set off for the county. Everything went smoothly at first, but as they walked, Ning Yu began to complain.
"What kind of broken road is this? It's obviously very close, but there's such a big hole in it. You have to go around for more than ten miles to get there. Grandpa is exhausted."
Qin Hao slapped him angrily: "Don't be embarrassed, the other lesbians didn't say anything, you are the only one complaining."
In fact, the Qinling Mountains were a bit unbearable. They walked more than 20 miles of mountain roads in a row. Anyone else would be exhausted.
Seeing this, Qin Hao had to stop: "Then let's rest here for ten minutes and eat something before we go on the road."
Ning Yu and Qin Ling were relieved when they heard this. They didn't care about their dirt and just sat down on the ground. The main reason was that Qin Hao walked too fast. If they wanted to keep up with him and not fall behind, they would consume more energy than walking normally.
many.
The two took out the dry food from their backpacks and were about to eat it when they smelled an attractive fragrance. They looked over and found that Qin Hao was holding half a salted duck in his hand, and his saliva almost dripped onto the dry food.
Qin Hao smiled and shook his head, divided the salted duck into three, gave each person one portion, and handed it to them.
"Brother Xie Hao." Ning Yu and Qin Hao have been living together for a long time, and they don't have to be so polite. He picked it up and started to chew it.
Qin Ling was a little embarrassed. Qin Hao directly stuffed it into her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be polite. Eat it. From now on, we will strive to eat meat every day. If we are tired of eating, we will lose weight.
This is how people live!”
"Pfft" Qin Ling couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckled: "What are you talking about? Are you still tired of eating meat? You still eat to the point where you need to lose weight, even if you don't live the life of a god."
No wonder Qin Ling didn't understand. In fact, it can be seen from some old photos that in the 1960s, there were basically no fat people on the streets. During this period, even wealthy families could only eat well, and only chefs and buyers could do so.
Only in special professions like this would one or two fat people be born occasionally.
Qin Hao just smiled and said nothing, and lowered his head to nibble on the duck. Qin Ling was also attracted by the aroma of the salted duck and started to devour it. At this time, he didn't care about his manners anymore, and it was true that he ate it first into his stomach.
After eating and drinking, the three of them set off on the road again and waited until dark before arriving at the county town.
However, since the Educated Youth Office was off work, Qin Hao and the other two could only stay at the county guest house for one night. Fortunately, all three of them brought their Educated Youth Certificates and letters of introduction from the village, otherwise they would have to sleep on the street.
These days, if you want to stay in a hostel, you must have a letter of introduction, otherwise you won't be able to stay even if you have money. Moreover, the service in the hostel is extremely poor. You have to provide everything yourself, and the price is not cheap. Most people simply can't bear to stay.
Qin Ling saw that Qin Hao opened two rooms at once and paid without batting an eyelid, so he couldn't help but look at him twice.
"Then you go to bed early. We are next door. If you need anything, shout out." Qin Hao also noticed Qin Ling's gaze, but he knew very well that Qin Ling was more curious about him.
"Well, thank you." Qin Ling was inevitably a little embarrassed after being caught, so he lowered his head and entered his room.
Ning Yu slept soundly this time. He took a shower, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
It wasn't until the next morning when Qin Hao asked him to get up for breakfast that Ning Yu rubbed his eyes and got up.
Qin Ling looked at the breakfast combination of white flour steamed buns, porridge and three large fried dough sticks on the table, and was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
"Sister Qinling, what are you doing standing still? Eat!"
Ning Yu has just turned sixteen this year, and Qin Ling is already eighteen, so it is appropriate to call her sister.
After Qin Ling sat down, he didn't move his chopsticks, but said worriedly: "This is costing you too much."
"Hey, it doesn't matter. We are in the capital, and Lao Mo, Quanjude, and Donglai Shunhao have all taken us to eat. A few fried dough sticks don't matter." Ning Yu was not polite.
Qin Ling shook his head: "But now it is no better than before, so we still have to save some money."
Qin Hao smiled nonchalantly: "It's not too bad to have breakfast. Come on, eat it quickly. After eating, we still have to go to the Educated Youth Office."
Perhaps the aroma of fried dough sticks and white-flour steamed buns was too tempting, so Qin Ling was persuaded, lowered his head and started to eat the porridge.
