Chapter 9 Back to the Village
When receiving the bicycle, the salesman also tied a big red flower on the faucet.
Ye Qian put the items in the bag on the back seat of the bicycle and pushed the bicycle out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
In fact, I really want to buy a watch, but the watch needs to be rolled, and imported ones do not need to be rolled, but there is no such thing here, so I can only talk about it next time.
Ye Qian found a place where no one was around, put her things in the space, and went directly to the station.
I got stuck again, and this time there was no seat. The conductor gave me a small mat and asked me to sit in the aisle.
The smell of gasoline in the car was very strong and the car was shaking. Two people couldn't help but vomited.
Fortunately, someone got off the bus at the middle station, gave up his seat, and moved a bit, otherwise the aisle would be unsuitable, it would be too disgusting.
It was already past 6 pm when the car arrived at the county seat. It gets dark very early in November, and it is difficult to see the road outside clearly.
I didn’t want to walk at night and had no place to live, so I could only hide in the space again, wash up and fall asleep in the space.
Before going to bed, I couldn't help but complain that riding in a car in this era is too painful.
A dreamless night.
…
I woke up from hunger in the morning. I slept from less than 7 o'clock last night until around 11 o'clock today.
The food in the state-owned restaurant in the county was not delicious, so I took out the braised pork packaged in the city, added a little rice, mixed it together and ate it simply.
After leaving the space, we walked towards the village.
It's a bit cold in November and the wind is quite strong.
After walking for a while, I couldn't bear it anymore. When I walked slowly like this, I took out my bicycle and started riding.
Although it's colder this way, it's faster.
When she arrived near the village, Ye Qian put her bicycle into the space, carried her own small backpack and went home.
On the way, I met an old lady from the village and asked me, "Why haven't I seen anyone in the past two days and the door is closed?"
I had some impression of this grandma, because the people living next door were relatives of the Ye family who stayed away from me. I replied, "I'm a relative." After hearing this, the relatives of the Ye family retorted, "Where are you from?"
, I also choked, "I want you to take care of it." The relatives of the Ye family did not expect that they would refute, and were a little stunned for a moment.
While he was talking, his feet didn't stop, and he arrived home in a short while.
When I got home, I put down my small backpack and quickly heated up hot water.
I don’t have much hot water in my own space, so I might as well boil it myself if possible.
We don’t even have a kettle at home, we only use clay pots for boiling water and cooking.
But I had nothing to do, so I sat for a while, cut a potato while the water was boiling, fried some shredded potatoes later, and ate it with the white porridge in the space.
After the water is boiled, the water is collected into the space. The clay pot is not big, so a small amount of water will become cold after being left outside for a while.
Ye Qian put some oil and chili pepper into the clay pot and started cooking. She didn't have any seasoning at home, so she used the ones from the kitchen. She added salt, MSG, pepper, a little vinegar, and hot and sour potatoes before cooking.
The shreds are fried.
While eating shredded potatoes and drinking white porridge, I sighed, when can I cook some meat openly?
After finishing the meal and putting away the tableware, I started to wash up and went to bed early. I have been doing physical work these past few days, so I will definitely have a good sleep again tonight.
Sure enough, I fell asleep after a while.
…
The next morning, I got up early and had a bowl of yam and pork ribs porridge from Space, 2 fried buns, and 2 rice cakes for breakfast.
In the morning, I cleaned the house first, and then prepared to make clothes.
Although I have never done it myself, it should not be difficult.
Ye Qian took out the old clothes, spread them on the newly bought cloth, took out the scissors, and cut them according to the outline of the clothes. Of course, they were a little longer, and there was no ruler at home, so they just cut them roughly, and they were not long enough.
Short, of course I cut 2 pieces of fabric, one in front and one in back.
Ye Qian aligned the back sides of the two pieces of cloth, sewed them with a needle, turned them over, removed the buttons from the previously unwanted clothes, and sewed them on, and the clothes were completed.
The same goes for the trousers. Align the edges of the two pieces of cloth and sew them with a needle. Just add a rubber band to the trousers.
Um.
Something like that.
It's not that difficult.
Black cloth was used to make pants, military green cloth was used to make clothes, and the remaining cloth was used to add a pouch to hold small things.
The length of the clothes is very suitable, and the trouser legs and cuffs are not exposed, so you don't have to worry about being seen by others when you add clothes inside.
The black and military green cloth Ye Qian bought can be used to make two clothes. She also likes the dark red plaid material, but the shameless Ye Qian doesn't want to waste the cloth and decides to keep it for now.
.
Ye Qian's trip to the city was not fruitless. She found out that the grain factory was recruiting workers. Just a week later, various positions were available.
Front-line workers don't need academic qualifications, but I don't want to be a front-line worker. For an office, I need a high school degree or above, but I can't get it.
But Ye Qian still wants to give it a try, and is also afraid of missing this opportunity. She doesn’t know when she will have to wait until next time.
Isn't there an exam? What if someone appreciates my talent?
Ye Qian has been busy at home these days. There is not much hot water in her own space, so she needs to prepare more. She spends half a day fetching water every day, and half a day boiling water. In between boiling water, she has to collect some firewood.
.
Then use the rice to cook some porridge and rice and put it in the space for emergencies.
After finishing this, I thought that the red dates and walnut sweet porridge I had last time would be good, so I cooked two more pots of sweet porridge.
The takeaway food in my space is almost gone.
While you still have some time, you'd better make something to supplement it. This way, it doesn't matter when it's inconvenient to cook. The food in the space can be eaten at any time.
Not to mention, my body feels a lot stronger when I move these past few days. I am out of breath when I don't move as much as before.
I have been very busy these days, and I feel that time flies by quite quickly, because I am going to the city tomorrow and I don’t know what the situation is there, so it is better to go and check it out in advance.
The original owner has an introverted personality and usually doesn't interact with anyone. He has been here for so long and has never seen anyone he is familiar with. He only meets little sisters who he exchanges a few words with but has no deep friendship with.
Even if he suddenly disappeared for a few days, no one would ask, which is actually quite sad, as he has no sense of existence.
He fell asleep soon after.
After lunch the next day (because she couldn't get up in the morning), Ye Qian carried her small backpack, locked the door and walked out.
I walked to a place where no one was around, put my backpack in the space, took out my bicycle, and rode towards the county seat.
Chapter completed!
