"Well, when it comes to work, I will choose to cut pigweed. I can move the pigweed at least, but I may not have the patience to sit there all the time. It doesn't matter if I have less work points.

As for how to eat, let’s build a kitchen.

It's okay to work together occasionally, but if you have been working together for several years, you really won't get used to it. In this regard, you have to trouble the village chief. I don't have many tickets and no work points, so I can only pay and cover three meals a day.

.

Before the kitchen is built, I think I'll just work together at the village chief's house. After all, your house is the closest to mine. I'll prepare all the food and rice myself, and I'll prepare more to trouble the village chief, your wife and daughter-in-law.

Got it!"

Although Ding Yun wanted to save trouble, he was really not used to eating at other people's houses for several years.

After all, she had no intention of becoming a family with the village chief.

Sometimes it's better to keep a little distance.

After saying this, Ding Yun saw the village chief nodding, and immediately said hello, got up and went into the house to get some old rice, bacon sausages and other things, and stuffed them in:

"Village chief, take these things back first.

It's my own food. In addition, vegetables and the like, when I have time, I'll go to the houses of the aunts I've talked to before and bring them with me.

It should be enough for half a month..."

"Isn't this a bit too much..."

"It's not too much, not too much. You can just share a few pieces with me later. It's not good for me to eat the meat alone, so I'll just let you all watch. That would be so embarrassing."

That's it, don't be polite to me.

Let’s go back to the kitchen, why don’t I bother you?

And maybe I will have some other new ideas besides the kitchen in the future, so you’re welcome.”

"Then, I will accept it shamelessly...

By the way, are two steamed buns enough? If not, come home with me and I will ask my wife to make some more for you."

"Enough is enough, I can't finish it if there's more!"

"That's good, that's good..."

After a few more pleasantries, the village chief went back with the things Ding Yun forced on her. Ding Yun went back to the house to get a notebook and started to write down what he wanted to buy, and estimate how long it would take for those things to arrive.

suitable.

Not too early, not too late.

It has to be calculated based on the current logistics mailing speed.

If you buy something on Future.com, the next day delivery may be a bit slow if it is nearby, and you will be anxious every two or three days, but now is not the future after all. Many places these days do not have electricity, let alone good roads.

The logistics is fast, so you will be satisfied if you can get it.

It's normal for it to take ten and a half days to send something.

If it's too far and too remote, it's only a month.

Those are all reasonable things.

Otherwise, it would not have happened that in the 1970s and 1980s, when the college entrance examination was over, many people had to take the train and rush to school as soon as they got the admission notice.

Because the admission notice has been on the road for ten days and a half, or even nearly a month, the start of school is not far away when the notice arrives.

If you don’t go quickly, you’ll have to miss the report!

So of course at this time Ding Yun had to search deeply for the memory of the original person, recalling what the original person knew about how long it would take to send something from one place to another, and then calculate the promise she made to the educated youth of the villagers based on the distance and the time required.

and the village chief’s stuff.

Approximately when should we arrive?

At the same time, the difficulty of collecting some things must be added to the time required, so that they cannot feel that it is too easy to get things, but it cannot be too slow either.

It was too slow and Ding Yun was afraid that the village chief and others would be anxious.

The most important thing is that Ding Yun himself knows that the villagers and educated youth, including the village chief, do not have 100% trust in her. Only when the first batch of things arrives, they may truly trust her completely.

So Ding Yun also wanted to do it under reasonable circumstances.

Let those things arrive as soon as possible.

That way she can live here with complete peace of mind.

"I have to go to the county town again tomorrow and pretend to write letters to my relatives at home, asking them to help me send some soap, towels and other things. I won't buy any extra things this time. I will just come back with an empty tricycle.

But you can write another letter to my mother.

The last letter just asked them about their physical condition and told them not to worry. There was nothing wrong with the food sent to them. It would be best to write another letter this time to ask them what they were missing so that they could continue to help them.

Wait for the villagers to exchange for wild vegetables and radishes.

You can also send them all the dried vegetables.

I just said it was sent to relatives at home so they could try something new, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to finish all the vegetables.

That’s right, that’s what you have to do.”

"As for the time to pick up the goods, I have to be a little more careful the first time. I will go to the county town again in seven days. Then I will get all the odds and ends, soaps, towels and other things back and sort them out.

But the sewing machine, TV set and bicycle are not so lucky. Separate them. Go back and bring the watch to the village chief first, and then send the two sewing machines over.

As for the TV, I will ask the village chief tomorrow where his youngest son lives in the county. Then I will send it directly to her youngest son's home. Otherwise, the road to the countryside is so bumpy, so don't break the TV again.

Already.

This will make the rest of the bike easier to handle.

This tricycle should be able to be put down.

Well, try to get it all done within half a month!"

With the calculation completed, Ding Yun quickly decided on what to do in the next half month, and also wrote the letter she was going to write to her mother.

Save it like this morning.

I had to find a special corner to write a letter while half-kneeling.

After the letter was written, sealed, and stamped, Ding Yun tidied up, washed up, and went to sleep.

…

Early the next morning, Ding Yun continued to say hello to Village Chief Wang, and then went to the county again. Of course, this time breakfast was not served by Village Chief Wang.

She went to the village chief's house to eat.

I've paid for the food, so if I don't eat, I won't get it for free!

Because I just went to send a letter, it didn’t take long. I had lunch at the village chief’s house smoothly at noon, and then in the afternoon, under the guidance of several children, I started cutting pigweed with the children.

.

Not to mention, it’s really tiring.

It was not the kind of tiredness that comes from manual labor, but the kind of tiredness that requires constant bending and backache. Compared to her, the dozen or so children were very relaxed.

First, these children are used to it.

Secondly, they are young and short, so when cutting pig grass, their bending range is much lower than that of Ding Yun. In this way, they will naturally look a little more relaxed.

Seeing that they were quite relaxed, Ding Yun was naturally embarrassed to complain, so he could only work with them.

In the end, in order to prevent himself from being embarrassed after being tired all afternoon and cutting less pigweed than those children, Ding Yun took out dozens of fruit candies and exchanged two or three handfuls of pigweed with each of the children present, and agreed to keep it secret.

, filled up his backpack, and then turned in the task.

For a dozen children, the absence of two or three handfuls of hogweed in their baskets does not affect their work points at all.

Now you can exchange for a few candies, why not?

Moreover, while a dozen children can get a few candies to sweeten their mouths, they can avoid being regarded as weak chickens and successfully become the one who cuts the most pigweed in the afternoon with only one adult, thus saving their own face.

It’s totally a win-win situation!
