FSC [QT] Chapter 182.2

This time when she came to the county, Miao Fengmei gave fifty yuan.

Miao Dashan, the captain, seemed to think that his cousin was not honest. Before leaving, he gave Xu Chunxiu ten yuan, saying that it was a loan to her first and could be deducted from her work points slowly in the future.

Of the 60 yuan, 25 yuan was deposited in the hospital account as a deposit, so Xu Chunxiu still had 35 yuan in her hand.

She knew that according to the nature of the Xie family, it was impossible to expect them to care about her and her daughter and send them food and vegetables every day.

So, this money was also the living expenses of the mother and daughter these days.

According to the prices of this era, thirty-five yuan was more than enough.

However, Xu Chunxiu didn’t know how much the hospital would charge later, so she couldn’t spend the thirty-five yuan without restraint.

But Xu Chunxiu still remembered the doctor’s words. After her daughter woke up, she planned to go for a walk in the county town. She knew that there were several black markets in the county town, and there must be two rare things like red dates and red beans in the black markets.

Xie Wu was quickly pushed out of the operating room by the nurse.

Xu Chunxiu’s heart was completely focused on her daughter. She stopped thinking about all those miscellaneous things. She quickly followed her to the hospital ward.

Although it was just after the autumn harvest, when there was the least work in the fields, Miao Dashan, the captain, was not free.

After sending Xie Wu and her mother to the hospital, he rode his tricycle to the commune in a hurry to report the autumn harvest to the leaders and listen to the leaders’ instructions on the subsequent agricultural tasks.

It was also a coincidence that a new batch of educated youth came to the commune.

Now was not the time when the educated youth went to the countryside like before. At first, the villagers were curious and admired the educated intellectuals in the city.

Knowing that the educated youth were coming to the countryside to contribute to agricultural construction with them, they couldn’t wait to welcome the educated youth with gongs and drums.

Now, for the country people, these little kids who came from the city and had been educated were extremely pampered and big trouble that could not be gotten rid of even if they wanted to.

The Eighth Production Team where Miao Dashan was located had already received seven educated youths. Those educated youths lived in the houses of the landlords who had been overthrown. Among them, there were five male educated youths and two female educated youths.

The male educated youths were better off and could do some work, but the problem was the female educated youths. They could not do the farm work that even eight or nine-year-old children in the countryside could do. They complained about the hardship and tiredness.

It happened that city girls were better at dressing up than country girls, and the two female educated youths assigned to the Eighth Production Team were much prettier than ordinary people.

In addition, their special status as city girls and educated people attracted the hearts of some young men of marriageable age in the production team.

They stopped working honestly and took every opportunity to show their courtesy to the female educated youths, causing many conflicts.

Miao Dashan was most impatient with this kind of bullsh*t, but this time, he ran into the trap of the commune leader. After reporting his mission, he was forced to take four more educated youths back, three of whom were female educated youths whom Miao Dashan wanted to avoid.

“Hey—”

Miao Dashan looked at the little girl sitting on the tricycle, who lowered her head and didn’t speak, and sighed in his heart.

This girl was much more outstanding than any other woman he had seen. Now, the production team will be lively again.

It was around two o’clock in the afternoon when Miao Dashan brought the newly educated youth back to the village.

The commune had a lot of affairs to do, and the educated youth who had arrived in batches were no longer people who needed to be treated with caution. Until they left the commune, the commune staff did not arrange meals for them.

These educated youths had almost finished the food they brought with them on the train, and by the time they arrived at the production team, the stomachs of several educated youths were already rumbling.

“Except for the rush to harvest, the canteen of the production team is closed at other times. All members solve their own food problems. You, educated youth, are the same. I will give you an advance of some food rations that can last until next spring’s harvest. These rations will be deducted from your subsequent work points.”

“I will take you back to the educated youth site later and let the old educated youth explain your future work to you, and then let them arrange a lunch for you.”

Miao Dashan never thought that just by stopping by the commune to report on his work, he would bring himself four new troubles.
