Chapter 185 The Educated Female Youth of the Time 10

Later, Chu Yuan strolled around for a while, bought some vegetables grown by the villagers and eggs from their own homes, and then went back to the tractor to wait.

Qiao Xun said that he smelled mutton and went to look for it himself.

When almost everyone in Baiyun Village had returned, Qiao Xun came over carrying a piece of meat. "Look, Sister Yuan, I told you there was mutton for sale."

Chu Yuan didn't expect his nose to be so sharp, and he really didn't smell wrong: "You are quite amazing."

Qiao Xun smiled sheepishly. This was the only talent he had. "Sister Yuan, do you want it? I bought five kilograms and I can give you half."

Chu Yuan thought about it and realized that he hadn't eaten mutton for a long time, so he accepted his kindness: "I only want one pound, and you can keep the rest and eat it slowly."

With fresh lamb legs, Chu Yuan showed off his cooking skills at noon and cut two pounds of meat to make a pot of cumin lamb.

The fragrant aroma made Qiao Xunxiang drool, and she frequently came to the kitchen to ask when the dishes would be ready.

He didn't stop until Chu Yuan rolled his eyes at him.

Fortunately, this dish doesn’t take much time to prepare. After it came out of the pan, Chu Yuan quickly fried some dried shrimps and winter melon. For the main course, they had the sesame cakes they had just bought at the market.

"Qiao Xun, it's time to eat."

"Here comes Sister Yuan."

This was the first time the two had sat down to eat together since they had known each other for so long, but it might also be the last time.

"What? You're leaving?" Chu Yuan was shocked when he heard the news.

"Yes, ever since my brother came over last time and told Grandpa about my messing around here, Grandpa has been planning to arrange for me to join the army. The transfer order should be issued in a few days."

Chu Yuan looked him up and down with great suspicion: "You want to join the army?"

Seeing her obvious disbelief, Qiao Xun felt a little ashamed and annoyed: "Please don't look down on me, okay? Why can't I join the army?"

"Don't be angry, I just think you are not suitable for being a soldier."

What Chu Yuan said was true. Qiao Xun was obviously more suitable for literary and artistic work. She had seen his casual doodles before, and it was clear that he had some basic skills in painting.

Qiao Xun knew this very well. Although he was pretending to be weak, his physical strength had always been much worse than that of his cousins ​​since he was a child.

But his grandfather always kept his word, and no one in the family dared to refute his arrangements.

"It doesn't matter. Maybe after a few years, it will be suitable."

Chu Yuan was a little absent-minded during the meal. It was clear that the college entrance examination would be resumed in more than two years. By then, Qiao Xun could take the college entrance examination and study his favorite major.

But I can't reveal this news to him.

With this feeling of half guilt and half regret, Chu Yuan made a lot of delicious food for him these days.

Qiao Xun thought she was reluctant to leave, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuan, after I leave, no one will come to you for meals, you should be happy about it."

Qiao Xun's transfer order was sent to Baiyun Village three days later, and he packed his bags and reported for duty that same day.

Before leaving, he handed Chu Yuan a thick envelope, saying that there were some things he was embarrassed to say, and asked Chu Yuan to wait until he left before opening it.

After watching him get on the tractor and leave, Chu Yuan returned to his room and opened the letter.

It was not as long as she had imagined, and it felt thick simply because ten big solidarity notes were stuffed inside.

The letter written by Qiao Xun was only half a page long. In it, he stated the address of the military region where he was located, and told Chu Yuan that he could write to him if he had any problems in the future.

He also said that he had left her a hundred yuan to thank her for her care during this period, and asked her to remember to use the money to buy more meat and eat his share together.

The words were not very flowery, but they made Chu Yuan feel cared for and warmed by them.

At this moment, she was extremely grateful for her decision three days ago, which was to add a drop of spiritual spring water to Qiao Xun's meals every day.

This was the last thing she could do for him as a friend.

Three drops of spiritual spring water are enough to improve his physical condition by a large margin. I hope he will have an easier time in the military camp.

After Qiao Xun left, Chu Yuan lived alone.

She no longer had to worry about being suspected for not cooking, so for the next few days, she ate the stock in the space.

Because there was not much work to do in the fields after the autumn harvest, the work she was assigned to do these days was rubbing corn cobs.

After all the corn cobs were rubbed, it was time to distribute the food, so everyone was very active and couldn't wait to rest for even a moment.

The day of distributing grain is the happiest day of the year for farmers, because having grain means they will not go hungry in the coming year.

This year is a bumper year, with the yield from the fields being 10% more than last year. The village chief decided to kill a pig to celebrate.

So today, every household is out in full force, half of them are queuing up where food is distributed, and half of them are queuing up where pork is distributed.

Chu Yuan was alone, and after some thought, she decided that getting food was more important. After all, based on the work points she had earned in just the past few months, it was hard to say whether she could get any meat.

The line for collecting food was very slow, and Chu Yuan waited in line for more than two hours before it was her turn.

"Chu Yuan, 1870 work points, 20 kilograms of fine grains, 140 kilograms of coarse grains."

"Uncle Village Chief, is this number wrong? How can I have so many centimeters?"

"That's right, that's right. When Qiao Zhiqing left, he came to me and said that all his work points for the year would be credited to you."

So that's how it is. Chu Yuan originally thought that he had at most 40 to 50 kilograms of food, so when he came out he only brought two sacks and had no tools in his hands.

Seeing her predicament, the village chief lent her his own cart so that she could push the grain back.

After thanking the village chief, Chu Yuan pushed the heavy load of grain back home.

After moving the things into the room, Chu Yuan took another basin and went to queue up to get the meat. Because she was the last one, there was only one piece of pure lean meat left.

Chu Yuan shook it up and found that it was about 7 taels, just enough to stir-fry a dish.

Looking at the few large bones left nearby, Chu Yuan bought them and went back to make some bone soup to warm his body.

The temperature in Jilin Province had started to drop at the end of October, and Chu Yuan felt a bit cold after staying outside for so long.

After returning home, Chu Yuan looked at the food in the corner and the meat in his hands and sighed slightly.

Although her three drops of spiritual spring water are completely worth the value of these things, it is unknown after all.

So she had to show it in a clear way.

It just so happened that the village was slaughtering a pig, and Chu Yuan planned to use this as an excuse to make a batch of meat sauce.

It just so happens that I had wanted to send something to my family but haven’t had time to send it out yet. When the meat sauce is ready, I can send them a few bottles to try.
