Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 195 Notification of Transaction

When Liu Jingxue heard the team leader say the meeting was over, she immediately started to walk away, fearing that if she walked too slowly she would be surrounded by enthusiastic villagers who would thank her.

Fortunately, she arrived late, stood on the outskirts of the crowd, and walked quickly. By the time the villagers reacted and searched for her in the crowd, she had already walked several meters away.

But it was not so easy for those people in the educated youth points to escape.

They arrived relatively early and were surrounded by a group of people. They were too conspicuous and were immediately surrounded by the villagers and could not get away.

Liu Jingxue, who had walked a long way away, turned around and saw that scene and couldn't help laughing out loud.

She thought gloatingly that it was a good thing that she ran fast, otherwise she wouldn't know how to deal with those enthusiastic villagers.

After returning home, Liu Jingxue lit a fire and boiled a pot of water outside, then went into the space to cook dinner.

I have to go to the bullpen tonight to see how they are preparing and whether all the things that need to be hidden have been hidden.

After dinner, she waited for a while. When it was completely dark, Liu Jingxue got up and went to the cowshed.

When she came here today, she didn't take anything.

After all, the Revolutionary Committee might come down at any time, and it’s not safe to leave the things here. It’s better to wait and get them later.

The people in the bullpen might have known that she would come over tonight and were waiting for her there.

After knocking on the door a few times, someone asked who was outside. After confirming it was her, they opened the door for her.

After Liu Jingxue entered the house, she greeted a few people and asked directly, "Uncle, have you hidden all the things here?"

Liu Weihua nodded and said, "We asked you to transport all the food from our side to your side the night before last.

Everything else that needed to be hidden had been hidden in the secret cellar.

There was only a little food left, and some rags and old clothes.”

"It's just that the firewood cannot be hidden because there is just too much of it," said Wang Xiulan.

Liu Jingxue consoled him, “The firewood shouldn’t be a problem, those people from the Revolutionary Committee probably wouldn’t look down on some firewood.

Besides, I have already taken over those dead trees that you haven't had time to chop into firewood.

Even if those people from the Revolutionary Committee take away your firewood, it doesn’t matter. I still have plenty.

Just get it back after they leave."

Liu Jingxue remembered that she had prepared a coal stove and coal for the cowshed but had not yet told them about it, so she said,

"I bought you a coal stove and prepared several hundred kilograms of coal, which are all kept at my place.

When the road is blocked by heavy snow and I am sure the Revolutionary Committee and the Red Guards will not come, I will send it to you."

Grandpa Zou said, "Xiaoxue, you can keep the coal stove and coal for yourself, we don't need them here.

You have prepared so much firewood for us that we will have more than enough to get through the whole winter without having to use coal stoves or coal."

“How could it not be used?

I heard from Sister Guiying that if there were no firewall in the house here, the water in the water tank would have frozen in winter.

I need to wash up in the morning, but I have to go outside to shovel snow and melt it for washing.

I don’t know how long it will take to cook it.

It’s different if you have a coal stove, as hot water is guaranteed to be available 24 hours a day.” Liu Jingxue retorted.

“Don’t worry about me, I have one for myself.

Besides, my house has a fire wall, so as long as I don’t go out, I won’t feel cold at all.”

Speaking of firewalls, Liu Jingxue quickly asked, "I never asked, do you have a firewall?"

Zou Lao nodded and said, “There is a firewall.

This place used to be a place for raising cattle. In this countryside, cattle are more valuable than people. It’s so cold in winter, so we must take good warming measures.

Originally there was only one kang, and the one in your uncle's room was newly built later."

After hearing this, Liu Jingxue finally felt relieved. At least there were the fire wall and the kang, and as long as they were given enough firewood, they would not be frozen in the winter.

"Xiaoxue, you need tickets to buy a coal stove and coal. How did you get the tickets to buy two coal stoves and several hundred kilograms of coal at once?" Wang Xiulan asked curiously.

Liu Jingxue explained half-truthfully, "I had a coal stove ticket at home before, but it was from Xinshi. I changed it to a national ticket before I came here.

As for the other one, didn’t I send some dried meat to my eldest brother and his family before?

You also know that when sending parcels, post office staff will check whether there are any prohibited items inside, and she saw the meat.

You know how much meat is needed in the city. When she saw all that meat, she knew I had a way to get it, so she came to me.

He said he wanted to exchange the ticket for meat.

I thought that she was a post office worker with wide connections, and it would not be easy for me to get tickets since I came to the countryside.

It's too dangerous to go to the black market, so it's better to trade with her for safety, so I agreed."

Wang Xiulan said worriedly, "Xiaoxue, this is too dangerous. What if someone sees you and reports you?"

"Don't worry, Auntie. We are doing this secretly, away from people. No one else knows except the two of us.

That person wouldn't be stupid enough to report himself."

Seeing that Wang Xiulan was still worried, Liu Jingxue comforted her, "Don't worry, aunt, exchanging tickets is very common in the city. My grandmother and I often exchanged tickets with people when we were in Xinshi. It will be fine.

As long as it is not traded on the black market, generally no one will care. "

Wang Xiulan was still a little worried, "You brought so much meat with you, what if someone saw it?"

"I put a lot of food on it to cover it. I made an agreement with the man to pretend to be a relative and say that we were visiting relatives when the time came.

I agreed to do the transaction with her early in the morning, when no one was at work yet and there was no one on the road, so nothing would happen." Liu Jingxue consoled.

Wang Xiulan wanted to say something else but was stopped by Liu Weihua.

“You don’t know what Xiaoxue is capable of yet, as long as you don’t let anyone see her face, leaving hidden dangers.

No one can keep her unless she wants to.

Besides, ticket swapping is a common thing. As long as you are not caught on the spot, you will be fine. Don’t worry about it.”

Liu Jingxue quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa Zou, Uncle, I succeeded in dealing with Li Jie yesterday.

I went to the educated youth point this morning to confirm and found that he is now lying in bed.

These days, he can’t go into the mountains to search.”

Grandpa Zou nodded and said, “I’m at ease with Xiaoxue doing the job.

Next, it depends on when we can get in touch with Lao Zhang.

I hope it goes faster. If it takes too long, Li Jie will inevitably get suspicious when he sees that I am not getting better."

“I’m afraid it won’t be quick.

That person wanted to investigate Xiaoxue. After investigating here, he had to go to Xinshi to investigate. It would take some time to investigate both places, not to mention that it would take several days to travel to both places.

I will write to you later, but it will take several days on the road." Liu Weihua said.

Mr. Zou nodded in agreement, "You are right.

Judging from the time, the investigation should have started for a few days, so we just have to wait patiently for the results.

If it takes too long, the worst that can happen is that I can wait for Li Jie to recover and then find other ways to delay him."

“At present, this is the only solution.

I just hope that Commander Zhang can be contacted as soon as possible." Liu Weihua said.
