Chapter 319 60 Control Group Cannon Fodder 7
Zhou Xiaoxiao took the five yuan and happily continued to write! She also made a schedule for herself, planning to write every morning, go to Dr. Guo to learn from him in the afternoon, go to the town to mail letters at least two or three times a month, and go to the city once to inquire about work matters.
A few days later, Zhou Xiaoxiao received several more replies from the newspapers, some with payment, some with receipts, and some without. Now she has received 13 yuan in payment.
She asked her father to write a letter of introduction, saying that she would send out the manuscript she had just written. Besides, it had been half a month since she last went to the city, so she wanted to go to the city to chat with the old security guards and ask if there was any news about jobs.
Zhou Xiaoxiao got up very early this morning, after all, the oxcart had to set out very early every morning. On the oxcart, everyone greeted her very warmly.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you want to do when you go to town this time?"
"Aunt Lan, we're out of salt at home, so my mom asked me to buy some salt and get some soy sauce at the same time! Aunt, you didn't go to work today! Are you going to town too?" In my impression, this aunt seems to value money and work points more than her life.
"Isn't your sister Erya pregnant? I'll go see her today!" Aunt Lan was smiling all the time.
"Really? Then auntie, congratulations on becoming a grandmother!"
"Is your Erya finally pregnant? This is her third year since she got married! My Chunhua got married at about the same time as your Erya! She gave birth to one, and now she's pregnant with another!" The auntie had some bad intentions.
"Yes! It's because my son-in-law cares about people. He has studied for a few years and said that Erya is still young and her body has not fully grown. It will be bad for the health of both adults and children to have a baby too early. He said that we should wait two years before having a baby, and now she is pregnant after only two years!" Aunt Lan was not polite and retorted.
"What do these young people know? I think they are just being pretentious. Didn't we all go through this? The older generation had babies at the age of 16. How could she not have fully grown at the age of 17?"
"How can what the book says be false? When we were older, the conditions were not good. Didn't you see? Now you have to be 18 to get married!"
"Xiaoxiao, you are an educated person. Tell me if this is true?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao curled her lips. Can't she just sit there and watch the show? Why did she have to be dragged into this?
"Of course it makes sense! Children born at a young age will either be in poor health or difficult to raise. Think about it, the older generation gave birth to eight or ten children, but not many survived. The country has conducted some research and believes that it is best to get married and have children at the age of eighteen."
"No way! The older generation didn't have anything to feed them, so they starved to death! I also gave birth to a baby at the age of 16, and I'm still alive and well, right?"
"If you know that you can't raise a child and he will starve to death, why bother giving birth? It would be better for the couple to work hard to earn some money, or save some food and have another baby. At least they won't starve to death!"
……
We arrived at the town in a lively and bustling manner.
She first went to the post office to mail all the letters, bought some envelopes, stationery and stamps, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soy sauce! Then she walked to the bus station, saw so many people, and thought of the bad experience of taking the bus last time. She decided not to suffer and teleported over!
She went to the city in a few jumps, which was much faster than the bus. She also went to the state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles and packed ten meat buns. She also looked around to see if there were any places recruiting or anything like that. She would wait until the factory employees officially started working before reporting to the gatekeepers of the major factories!
This time, they didn't use cigarettes, but cinnamon candies. Not much, just two or three per person. They chatted for half an hour and left after getting the news. It was much faster than last time. With teleportation, they finished the work that took two or three days last time in one day! The result was the same as last time. There was no news of recruitment or anyone selling jobs, but she was not discouraged.
He went to the recycling station again and had better luck this time. He saw two relatively intact paintings and several famous foreign novels, all of which he had secretly put into his space.
Before it got dark, she teleported to the road back to the village. This time she brought back a big watermelon, and only got home after it was completely dark!
"My daughter, why did you come back at this time? I thought you would sleep in the city for a night!" Zhou Zhisheng was a little surprised to see his daughter come home at this time!
"Dad, I came back because it was still early and there were still cars available. But I missed the ox cart, so I walked back!" Zhou Xiaoxiao put down the things in her bag!
"You, what did you buy? It's so heavy?" Yang Changying took the bag from her hand.
"Mom, open it and take a look!"
"This, this is a watermelon. Where did you buy it? We don't have it in town! And it's this big. It's so expensive!" So did her daughter walk back carrying such a big watermelon?
"Mom, I bought it in the city! I met an old man who secretly took the fruit out to exchange for something else, and I bought one from him! Didn't I get my royalties last time? I bought this to satisfy my craving, and it's not expensive, only thirty cents!" Zhou Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.
"Kid, isn't this expensive? Three cents can buy a dozen eggs!" Yang Changying tapped her forehead.
"Okay, okay! We've bought them all, and she can't return them anyway! Girl, have you had dinner?" Zhou Zhisheng was not angry. Watermelon or eggs, didn't they all go into the stomach?
"Dad, I ate it. Haha, Mom, I see the head is quite big! Do I need to cut it open today?" Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly changed the subject.
"Why cut it? It's so late and we've already had dinner. If you don't finish it, it will go bad. Cut it at noon tomorrow! Boss, wash the watermelon and soak it in the water tank!" Yang Changying handed the watermelon to Zhou Qinghe.
"How can I not finish it? I can finish two more!" Zhou Qingmiao muttered.
"Are you born in the Year of the Rat? You can't store food overnight." Yang Changying rolled her eyes at her second son.
The next day at noon, everyone ate the watermelon that Zhou Qingmiao had been dreaming about. This watermelon was simply a token of gratitude, with thin skin, thick flesh, sand, and very sweet. It was also soaked in a water tank overnight, so it was icy cold.
Zhou Qingmiao took a bite and sighed with satisfaction. This piece of watermelon was worth more than an egg. Eggs can be eaten several times a month, but watermelons are eaten less frequently! The few people ate very cherished, and only threw the melon rind to the chickens after eating until the red color was gone.
Yang Changying even saved half of it for dinner, and cut a piece of the remaining half for lunch and asked Zhou Xiaoxiao to take it to Dr. Guo.
Doctor Guo didn't refuse the watermelon. He ate the sweet watermelon while asking her questions. Zhou Xiaoxiao answered them very smoothly and asked him some questions she didn't understand. The master and the apprentice asked and answered questions, and they argued from time to time.
Just then, someone called Dr. Guo outside the door and asked him to go see the patient!
The two walked outside and took a look. Zhou Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. Hey, what happened to the heroine's face? Her face was covered with dust, her forehead was scratched, there was some fine sand and pebbles on the scratched skin, and her nose was bleeding!
"Doctor Guo, please take a look at her." Her brother quickly put her on a stool.
"There's a skin injury on your face. Just wash off the sand and apply some alcohol!" Doctor Guo glanced at her!
"It's not her face, it's her leg! She twisted her leg when she fell." Lan Xuejing's brother quickly explained to the doctor.
They then turned their eyes to her feet. Her ankles were swollen. Doctor Guo then pinched her feet a few times and knew what was going on.
"The bones are not broken, only the ligaments are injured. It's not a serious matter. Just rest for a month or so! As for her face, Xiaoxiao, you can wipe it with alcohol." Doctor Guo saw that she was also a girl, so he let Zhou Xiaoxiao do it. After all, this was not a complicated matter.
"Okay!" Zhou Xiaoxiao likes doing this job very much. Now that it has been delivered to her, how can she justify the suffering she endured in her previous life if she doesn't do some small moves?
Zhou Xiaoxiao first fetched some water and sprinkled some white medicine powder in the water, which disappeared instantly. Then she used gauze to clean the stones on his face. Haha, the broken skin area was not small, so she applied some alcohol on it.
As soon as the alcohol got on her face, Lan Xuejing's tears instantly flowed down. She could only say something else to divert the stinging sensation on her face.
"Zhou Xiaoxiao, why are you here?" Lan Xuejing asked Zhou Xiaoxiao with tears in her eyes!
"I came over to play!" Zhou Xiaoxiao answered very naturally.
"Why did you come here to play? Don't you have to work at home?" Damn it, she saw me in such a miserable state, and it was she who treated my wound.
"No need! My mother doesn't allow me to do it." Zhou Xiaoxiao knew what she was thinking when she saw the expression on her face. Of course, she also knew what this person hated to hear the most!
"Haha, you're so lucky!" A hint of jealousy flashed across Lan Xuejing's eyes.
"Of course! You are lucky too! Don't you think you are lucky? We didn't have to go to the fields to earn work points!" Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced at her, then at her grandmother, and her intention to sow discord was obvious!
"What? Do you think you have a bad fate? Since she graduated from school, she has never been allowed to work in the fields. How can she have a bad fate? Which girl in the village has gone to high school like her and doesn't have to work in the fields?
Ask her to wash a few clothes or cook a meal, and all kinds of problems will happen! When washing clothes, she will either ruin them or wash them away. When cooking, she will either fall or sprain her leg!
Going to the toilet, she even thought of resting for a long time. I think she did it on purpose, she wanted to be lazy and do nothing, just want to eat ready-made food. "Grandma Lan couldn't figure it out, how could one person have so many coincidences? There was only one possibility, that she did it on purpose, just to avoid housework.
