I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 219: Educated Youths in the Countryside in the 70s 08

If she had no money, she might work harder to earn more work points, but she had everything she needed, so she was a bit of a slacker in this regard.

In this way, after a few busy days, the farm work in the fields came to an end, and these educated youth also had a day off.

On this day, Qingyue got up from bed early in the morning. After packing everything, she carried her basket and went to the village entrance with other educated youth who were going to the town.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw a tractor parked there.

Qingshan Village is one of the best villages in this area. There are about a hundred households in this village. If you walk around the village, you will find that many families in this village have built blue brick and tile houses.

Some families have all their houses built with blue bricks and tiles, while some families only have one or two houses, but this is also very good.

Moreover, the common property of the village is better than that of other villages, including a tractor.

During the busy farming season, tractors are used to transport grain. During the slack farming season, tractor drivers are responsible for transporting people between the village and the town in order to increase income for the village.

Of course, the tractor is not as regular as the ox cart. The ox cart goes to the town every three days. If you want to go to the town, you can take the ox cart on time.

But tractors are not so regular, you can only ride them when you encounter them.

Qingyue paid three cents and got on the tractor. As soon as she got on, she saw that in addition to the educated youth, there were also some villagers who were going to the town to buy things like them.

Qingyue got up early today and was still a little sleepy, so she and Wang Juan leaned against each other and closed their eyes to sleep for a while.

Soon, the tractor was full.

Along the way, because it was a dirt road, although it looked flat, it was still bumpy in some places, causing the tractor to shake a lot. Now, Qingyue was no longer sleepy and was completely awake.

When they left home, it was just getting light, and when they arrived in the town, it was already bright.

When they arrived, the man who drove the tractor to take them to the town said something loudly.

"The tractors will be back at noon. If you want to go back on the tractor, come back quickly."

"If you don't go back to the village at noon, it's okay in the afternoon. I'll be waiting here at four o'clock in the afternoon."

Qingyue and Wang Juan looked at each other, and Wang Juan asked, "Qingyue, are you going back at noon or in the afternoon?"

Qingyue said: "I want to go back in the afternoon. I want to eat in the town at noon. What about you?"

Wang Juan: “I think so too.”

Just like that, the two of them agreed to go back together in the afternoon, but then they separated because they wanted to do different things.

Qingyue first went to the department store in town. She planned to buy some things to spend the tickets that were about to expire.

The department store in the town doesn’t look big, it’s just a two-story building.

The things bought on the first floor are food and daily necessities.

Qingyue first went to buy some candies, such as White Rabbit milk candies, hard candies, crispy candies, and of course some pastries, such as egg cakes and mung bean cakes.

Then she went to the second floor and pulled out some more cloth. At that time, there were not many kinds of cloth, and the colors of the cloth were still very few.

Qingyue only took some blue cloth, and then bought two pairs of cloth shoes and two lunch boxes.

After leaving the department store, Qingyue planned to look for the black market. The cotton in the department store had been sold out long ago, and she did not buy any. She could only go to the black market to spend her cotton ticket, or sell it.

Of course, it was not just because of the cotton coupons, but also because of the crops planted in her space. Because the land in the space contained spiritual energy, crops such as wheat and rice grew very fast and were about to mature.

She was planning to sell some, so the black market was a good option.

After walking around the town, she finally realized something was wrong. She saw a man carrying a bamboo basket into an alley.

If one person was not worthy of attention, then after a while, Qingyue saw another person entering the alley.

Afterwards, Qingyue observed for a while and determined that this should be the location of the black market.

So after the next person entered the alley, Qingyue also followed him into the alley. She followed the person quietly, following him through many turns and twists. She didn't know how many places they had been to. When Qingyue was almost dizzy, she finally arrived at the place.

She watched the man pay two cents and go in, and Qingyue followed suit.

After entering, Qingyue found that the place was very large, but very quiet. The sellers and buyers were all speaking in low voices, and each of them looked alert, looking in one direction from time to time.

Qingyue believed that if they found anything wrong, they would run away without stopping.

Entering the black market is indeed a gamble. If you are caught by the red armbands, you will be skinned alive even if you are not arrested.

Qingyue didn't ask at first, but first determined the direction of escape.

She came at an unlucky time today. No one was selling cotton in the black market, so she could only sell the cotton ticket. After waiting for a while, someone finally came to the black market to inquire about the cotton ticket. He saw that the date on the cotton ticket was about to expire, but he did not refuse.

Looking at his appearance, Qingyue thought that he should have his own channel to buy cotton.

I sold a cotton ticket for two dollars.

She had finished her business at the black market today, and just as she was about to leave, she saw a man selling meat.

Qingyue walked over, looked at his stall, and asked, "How much is a chicken here?"

The butcher said, "Three dollars a piece."

Qingyue took a look and thought that the chickens here should have been freshly killed and were still very fresh. After thinking about it, she decided to buy one.

After giving the money, she put the chicken in the basket.

As for those bought in the department store, she had already put them in the space.

Just as she was about to go out, she saw the person who was guarding outside the alley running in. He shouted, "The red armband is coming, run."

As soon as he finished speaking, the experienced people in the black market quickly packed up their things and ran away.

Qingyue also ran towards the path she had initially favored, and used her plant abilities to designate a quick way out.

After running for a while, she just turned into a street.

She hadn't run a few steps on the street when a house on the street suddenly opened its door. A man walked out and quickly pulled her in before she could see clearly.

After entering, Qingyue pushed the person away. The moment she looked up, she finally saw what the person who pulled her looked like.

Only then did she stop the action of attacking.

Just as she was about to ask why he was here, she saw him shaking his head and motioning her not to speak.
