Chapter 364 The Poor Educated Youth Forced to Go to the Countryside 36
"Okay, everyone, please stop talking. Liu Zhiqing, you too, stop talking nonsense in the future."
Liu Fujia didn't say anything. He just looked gloomily at the female comrades who had just confronted him, snorted, and walked back to his room.
Seeing this, Gu Qian said goodbye.
"Now that everything has been resolved, Xia Zhiqing and I will go back and rest."
Xia Fangli did not return to her room, but was pulled to her room by Gu Qian.
"Qianqian, why did you pull me over here?"
"Come, let me show you my spoils." Gu Qian said as she opened her big bag.
Xia Fangli looked at it curiously, and what caught her eye were piles of books and newspapers.
She widened her eyes and asked, "Qianqian, where did you get so many books?"
"I bought some from other people, and found some from scrap yards."
"Why...why did you buy the book?"
"Fang Li, I have a feeling that the college entrance examination will come again one day, and that will be our chance to leave."
"Is this true?! But the college entrance examination has been suspended for more than a year. I haven't heard that it will be held again?"
"We are now in a period of need for talent and need the college entrance examination to select talents. It's just that the time has not come yet, but I believe it will come one day."
"Besides, it's not a bad thing to study more. We have so much free time, so we always need something to pass the time."
Xia Fangli nodded, "You're right, we can just treat it as a pastime."
"Come, pick a few books and come back to get them when you're done."
"Okay." She picked up a few books at random. "These first. How much did you spend?"
"No need, just think of it as me lending it to you. Just return it after you're done reading it."
"But you must have spent money on these!"
"The book is very cheap, it's just a small amount of money, no need."
"Okay." She must give Qianqian something in the future!
"Look what else I bought?"
"I bought rice and noodles, as well as meat, vegetables and various seasonings, and then we can cook and eat by ourselves."
"Wow, Qianqian, you bought so many things!" Xia Fangli's eyes lit up when she saw the things in the bag.
She had a feeling that the food she would eat here would be much better than that in the Youth League Home!
"I also bought some apples. Take two and try them."
"Apples! You can actually buy apples here! Qianqian, tell me the truth, where did you buy them?"
"Oh!" Gu Qian knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he leaned over and whispered, "It's the black market in the county. I found out the location and went to take a look. I didn't expect to run into this."
"Black market!" Xia Fangli shouted, then subconsciously covered her mouth.
"Qianqian, you are so brave! How dare you go to the black market alone!"
"It's safer to go alone! A lot of people go there, it's okay. As long as no one finds you, it'll be fine."
"Qianqian, you are not allowed to go there again next time. It's so scary!"
"Okay, I won't go next time. Come on, pick two."
"Well...then I'll pick two?" Xia Fangli's serious pretense failed within a few seconds.
"pick!"
"Qianqian, you don't have to pay for the book, but I must pay for these things. Just tell me the amount!"
"These..." Gu Qian was a little embarrassed. Except for the seasonings which she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, the rest were taken from the space, and it was difficult to calculate the price.
"How about this, you just give me... just give me three dollars."
"You didn't count it as too little for me, did you? I have money!" Xia Fangli looked at Gu Qian suspiciously.
"No, definitely not! I know you have money, and I have it too!"
"Okay, okay, here, take the money."
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and soon the announcement for work in the afternoon sounded.
Everyone on the street was discussing Zhao Guichun. Those who had nothing to worry about were gossiping, while those who had something to worry about had gloomy faces and listened to the rumors in fear.
However, what no one expected was that in the afternoon, people from the police station came and took Wang Qiang away.
While Zhao Guichun was crying and begging them not to take her son away, she kept telling them secrets about Wang Qiang.
Seeing this, the people from the police station took Zhao Guichun away as well.
Originally they didn't want to take the mentally ill person away, but because she could provide them with a lot of clues, they took her away anyway.
When the workers heard the news, they lost interest in their work and started talking about it.
After work in the afternoon, Gu Qian and Xia Fangli went to the Youth League Home together to tell the other youth league members that they already had a pot, and took back the food stored there.
"I'm so envious!" Zhao Fenli said, looking at the two people's backs.
"Today is the first day we cook for ourselves, what do you want to eat?"
"I... want to eat dumplings!" Xia Fangli said with shining eyes.
"Okay, let's eat dumplings then! Do you know how to knead the dough?"
"Yes! Because I always like to eat dumplings at home, so I learned it from my dad."
"Then you knead the dough and I'll make the meat filling. How about cabbage and pork?"
"it is good!"
After the two of them divided the tasks, they each went about their business. For a moment, the cabin was filled with a busy yet harmonious atmosphere.
Xia Fangli hummed a cheerful little tune happily while deftly manipulating the flour and water with her hands. The dough, which was originally a little rough, gradually became smooth and round under her skillful hands.
On the other side, Gu Qian wielded the kitchen knife vigorously, chopping pieces of fresh pork into delicate minced meat.
Then, she nimbly picked up a juicy cabbage, quickly chopped it into fine pieces, and mixed them with the meat filling.
After all the preliminary preparations were completed, the dumpling-making process began.
Xia Fangli skillfully turned the rolling pin, and evenly thick dumpling skins continued to emerge from her hands.
Gu Qian took the dumpling wrapper swiftly, picked up an appropriate amount of stuffing with chopsticks and put it inside, then pinched and folded it skillfully, and the dumplings were neatly arranged on the chopping board.
Before long, a large pot of plump white dumplings had been wrapped and successfully put into the pot.
As the hot water rolls, the dumplings tumble in the pot, emitting waves of tempting aroma.
Soon, the dumplings were cooked and ready to go! The rich aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen, making people salivate.
She carefully used a colander to scoop the steaming dumplings into a plate and brought it to the table.
"It smells so good!" Xia Fangli couldn't help but exclaim.
Gu Qian smiled and handed over a pair of chopsticks, "Try it quickly."
Xia Fangli couldn't wait to pick up a dumpling and took a bite. The juice immediately spread in her mouth. "Mm, it's delicious. This is the most delicious dumpling I have ever eaten."
Gu Qian also tried one, her face full of satisfaction, "It's really different when you make it yourself."
The two were eating happily when there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
