After breakfast at Liu's house, Secretary Liu took his three sons to repair Li Mo's house. The house was small and there were no major problems. The farmers were all skilled in building and repairing their own houses, so the repair of such a small house was quickly completed.

Just wait for the day to go to the waste station in the town to buy some newspapers and come back to paste the wall.

The main meal is usually served here, but Li Mo can't be responsible for the lunch of Li Zhishuye on this condition.

In the morning, Uncle Li Ming had divided the rations of the new educated youths. Everyone had ten catties of cornmeal, ten catties of rice, and the rest were sweet potatoes.

Li Mo, the educated youth, doesn't plan to eat with them. She often needs to improve her food. It's not easy to have a snack with others.

She plans to go to town to buy a coal stove, and then ask the Li family to help buy some coal and return to her room to add meals.

If there is really no coal, go to the town's black market to exchange food for coal tickets. This should be easy to get.

After Li Mo cleaned up the house, she thought for a while, took a pack of white rabbit toffee and a pound of loose dried noodles, took a red scarf and a few handkerchiefs, and was ready to go to Li Zhishu's house.

When we walked into Liu Zhishu's house, Grandma Wang, the eldest daughter-in-law Zhou Chun, and the second daughter-in-law Zhao Yan sat on the kang to sew and repair. Today it is the younger daughter-in-law's turn to cook lunch.

"Grandma Wang, Aunt Zhou, and Aunt Zhao, I'm here to bother you again. Today, I don't have any tools. Secretary Liu and they helped me repair the house and I didn't leave any food. I'm really sorry."

Aunt Zhou saw what Li Mo was holding, her eyes lit up and she said, "It's nothing, a small matter. Why are you still bringing things here, don't be so polite."

"Auntie, I didn't get anything. The red scarf was previously said to be transferred to Brother Liu. The toffee is for my sister to give Gou Dan and the children to eat. The handkerchief I plan to share with Xinghua, Sister Taohua has a few points. Auntie won't stop me from making friends with them."

Tao Hua is the daughter of Aunt Zhou, Xing Hua Gou Dan is the child of Aunt Zhao, and Shuan is the youngest son of the third aunt Jin Dani.

"How could it be, my aunt would like you to make friends with them, so you can come and play with my peach blossoms if you have nothing to do."

Aunt Liu was eager for Li Mo to play with her girl. Li Mo is an intellectual young man from a big city in Shanghai. When the time comes, she will miss something, she can only take advantage of her own family.

Seeing her, the second aunt hurriedly said, "Yes, you come to play with our Xinghua. She stays at home and doesn't go out every day. I'm afraid she will be suffocated."

Zhao Yan couldn't see how her sister-in-law would go to her own house. There was no separation. Everyone used to eat and drink together, hoping to get everything into her own pocket. Even her in-laws thought she was a good one, but in fact, she wished to split up early.

"By the way, auntie, I want to go to the town's supply and marketing agency, and I don't know how to go. Can you take me?"

If he didn't know the way, Li Mo would appoint someone to go. But it's not too urgent for the time being, and now you can share a stove and iron pot with educated youths.

Tomorrow, firewood will go to the mountain to pick up some. You can buy oil and salt at the dealership in the village. Other things that are missing are used in the space, and they are said to be brought from home.

"Three days later, the women in the village made an appointment to go to the town to buy Chinese New Year goods. I will ask Xinghua to call you at that time."

"Okay, that's it. Grandma Wang, Aunt Zhou, and Aunt Zhao, I'll go home first."

Wang Ailan saw that she was going back and kept her for dinner, but Li Mo still refused. When I go back to find something to eat in the space to fill my stomach, I have to look for Li Weihong and the others.

And her instinct tells her that these people together can definitely put on a good show. Not surprisingly, I won't have a chance to return to the city until 1976. There is always some fun to kill time in such a boring day.

As long as the fire doesn't burn on her body, she is still willing to watch as a crowd eating melons.

After leaving Liu's house, Li Mo didn't go directly to the educated youth. It's lunch time. He just went to the mountain to have lunch and walked around to collect some firewood. Maybe he was lucky enough to catch a few stupid rabbits and mail them to his parents. .

After walking up the back mountain, Li Mo didn't dare to go into the deep forest. He found a remote place and took out a fast food to start eating.

I have to say that in the 1970s when there was a shortage of oil and salt, the tired fast food also became a rare delicacy.

After eating, Li Mo walked around and collected some firewood into the space. Without seeing any living creatures, she was about to go back, and a rabbit popped out from her feet. She rushed over but didn't catch it. Angrily, she smashed the rabbit with the container in the space.

In the end, she really suppressed a rabbit's leg. This wave of operation is still possible, and it seems that she can try it in the future.

She took out the knife and slaughtered the rabbit and put it back in the space. It's not easy to deal with now, next time I have a chance to clean up.

There was no more gains along the way, so I returned to the educated youth point.

The educated youth spots now eat in several waves, the old educated youth, the new educated youth boys, Li Weihong, Zhang Xia and Zhang Ying, Chen Dan and Liu Pingxia.

He went to the mountains to pick up firewood by himself, and used his own for cooking. The water in the tank was picked by boys from old and new educated youths in turn. As for washing clothes, he always went to the riverside to wash.

Back to the educated youth point, the educated youth had just finished their meal, and the old and new educated youth sat in the courtyard and chatted. Seeing Li Mo came back, everyone asked her if she had eaten.

"I had some snacks before, but now I am not hungry and just eat dinner later. By the way, I have some snacks that I brought at home. I just want to eat while chatting."

Li Mo walked into the room and pretended to take out a lot of snacks from the box, big white rabbits, canned peaches, sweet-scented lotus root and other large boxes of snacks. Others also took out a little more or less when they saw it. Eat snacks together.

Not to be outdone, Li Weihong took out a bunch of snacks. But the blood in my heart was distressed, after all, there were only a few things that I brought, and I would eat a little less.

In fact, her parents didn't take it seriously, because she didn't have a sense of presence at home because of her father's reputation outside.

She hated Li Mo a little, just such a child from an ordinary worker's family, showing off, how good it is to be honest.

Li Mo sat next to Chen Dan, and Chen Dan quietly asked her, "Li Mo, what do you do with your next meal? It's not convenient for you to eat alone. Why don't you eat with us?"

Li Mo didn't speak for a long time. Chen Dan misunderstood and said, "You don't need to put together the food. You can eat as much as you want every day. How tired you will be cooking when you come back from work."

Li Mo thought for a while, she felt that Chen Dan was a very good person, and there shouldn't be any contradiction. And it's good to cook it on the small stove in the room when I want to add a meal, so I agreed.

"These are all subject to your arrangements. Three days later, the aunts in the village will go to the town to buy new year goods. I have made an appointment with Grandma Wang. Are you going?"

Chen Dan and Wu Pingxia thought about it and agreed to go. Chen Dan said, "We still lack some pots and pans, oil, salt, etc., can we buy it at that time, and let's buy it at Sanping? Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, we will go and collect more firewood. Okay?" The three girls reached a consensus.
