Chapter 368 The Poor Educated Youth Forced to Go to the Countryside 40
After nearly two months, the team finally had a break.
Everyone had one day off and could go out freely, but the educated youth still needed a note from the team leader to go out.
"Qianqian, we finally have a day off. This time I can go to the county town with you!"
"Yes, at least I went out once. My poor Fangli hasn't gone out for such a long time."
"Well, that's right. So since you've been there once, you must take me on a good tour!"
"That's right, I will definitely take you to some fun places."
Listening to Gu Qian's emphasis on the funny words, Xia Fangli had a serious flash of doubt.
"Qianqian, you're not doing anything bad, are you?"
"How could it be?! How could I do something bad to you?"
"Really?"
"real!"
"Okay, then I'll rely on you tomorrow. I don't even know how to get out."
"Don't worry, I won't sell you out."
"Humph!"
After work, the two went to the team leader to report.
I didn't expect that several educated youth were there.
"Hey, Gu Zhiqing and Xia Zhiqing, are you here to get a permit to go out?"
"Yeah, Fu Zhiqing is the same!"
"It's been such a long time and I finally have a day off. I have to go out and do some shopping!"
A few people greeted each other, took the notes and left.
Because Gu Qian and Xia Fangli were together almost all the time, and lived in a bungalow and cooked their own meals, they were separated from the other educated youth and it was just a face-saving project.
The next morning, Gu Qian took Xia Fangli on a tractor. There were only a few sisters-in-law on the tractor, and not a single educated youth.
Gu Qian and Xia Fangli both felt it was a bit strange, as they didn't know that without the announcement of going to work, they all slept soundly.
Because of her long work and rest schedule, Gu Qian woke up at around seven o'clock almost every day, not to mention that she had something to tell time.
Xia Fangli also had a watch, and they both agreed to set off on time at 8 o'clock.
After a bumpy ride on the tractor and bus, the two finally arrived in the city.
"Qianqian, I didn't feel dizzy at all while riding in a car this time!"
"That means your physique has been improved through regular labor during this period of time."
"I think so too. I never expected that there would be such a good thing!"
"So, going to the countryside, apart from the lack of freedom and some fatigue, actually has its benefits. At least our self-care ability and health are getting better and better."
"Yeah, that's all we can think of. At least it makes us feel better."
Gu Qian smiled and continued, "Where should we go first? The supply and marketing cooperative, the post office, or the scrap yard?"
"Scrapyard? Why do we need to go to the scrapyard?"
Gu Qian leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Go there to find things! We knocked down a lot of people during the previous exercise, and we didn't have time to deal with most of their things. Except for those that had been taken away, they all went there!"
"Real or false? How do you know?"
"If you ask around, you'll find out that many people have been there. Although we may not be so lucky to find it, we can still look for books there."
"Yeah, that's right. Let's go to the nearest one first."
"The one closest to you, are you sure?" Gu Qian looked at Xia Fangli with an ambiguous look.
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?" Looking at Gu Qian's eyes, Xia Fangli stuttered a little.
"It's okay. It's the closest place. Then we have to make some changes."
Gu Qian pulled Xia Fangli into the alley, took out brown powder from the package she carried with her, and smeared it on Xia Fangli's face.
"Hey, Qianqian, why are you applying this?" Xia Fangli said while dodging.
"Fangli, don't hide, trust me!"
Looking at Gu Qian's determined eyes, Xia Fangli gradually compromised, "Okay."
After quickly applying the cream to Xia Fangli, Gu Qian also quickly applied a few times on herself.
In fact, this was just to deal with Fangli. For safety reasons, she still had to cast a spell to change her appearance.
"Okay, let's go."
The next second, two men came out of the alley and walked towards the house in front.
The house was right on the edge of the county town, and she guessed that this was also to make it easier for her to escape if she was discovered.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to eat."
"Do you understand the rules?"
"I understand!" Gu Qian took out a dime from his pocket and handed it over.
Seeing this, Xia Fangli was about to turn around and ask, but Gu Qian held her hand.
"go in."
Only after the two finally came in did Xia Fangli finally have the chance to ask.
"Qianqian, this...can't be..." the black market, right?
This is the... fun place she wants to take herself to?
"Shh!" Gu Qian nodded at her.
When Xia Fangli heard this answer, her pupils dilated instantly.
"It's okay, let's go for a walk."
She nodded imperceptibly and followed Gu Qian forward stiffly.
"Relax a little, if you keep doing this for a while people will think you are going to do something!"
"Ah...oh oh!" Xia Fangli took a few deep breaths and tried to relax.
"See if there's anything you want to buy. You can buy basic food here. If you don't see anything, you can ask the people here."
"Yeah! I...I want to buy some apples! The apples you bought last time were so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious fruit before."
"Eh...ah?" Looking at Xia Fangli's excitement, Gu Qian's smile froze on her face.
She didn't expect that she actually wanted to buy apples, but she couldn't spare time to sell apples now!
"This... I just glanced over and didn't see any for sale. I guess it was just a coincidence that I came across it last time."
"Oh, okay~ Then I'll take a look."
Now that she’s here, she has to buy something to make her trip worthwhile!
While Gu Qian was shopping with Xia Fangli, she was also paying attention to the things in the surrounding stalls.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she pointed to a stall in the corner and said, "Look, there are pears over there. They might be delicious too."
Xia Fangli looked in the direction she pointed, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes but she quickly regained her expectation and walked towards the stall.
The stall owner was a thin old man. When he saw them coming, he greeted them warmly.
Xia Fangli picked up a pear, sniffed it, and asked, "Uncle, is this pear sweet?"
The old man smiled and said, "It's sweet. It's grown on our own tree."
Xia Fangli turned to look at Gu Qian, and Gu Qian nodded.
So Xia Fangli took out her money and bought some pears.
Just as they were about to leave, a mysterious woman nearby pulled on Gu Qian's clothes and whispered, "I have something rare here, do you want it?"
Gu Qian asked curiously: "What rare thing?"
The woman looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to her. Then she quietly took out a small box from her bosom and opened it.
I saw a small round piece of jade lying in the box. The jade was crystal clear and exuded a warm luster.
Gu Qian raised her eyebrows slightly. This thing is not bad and of top quality.
