Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 213 Orange

After the college entrance examination, everyone's life seemed to have returned to normal, but such calmness was only superficial.

It's almost the end of the year. In previous years, everyone was preparing New Year's goods at this time, but this year everyone seems a little absent-minded.

Regardless of whether there are candidates in the family or not, they all seem to be paying attention to information about the college entrance examination and admissions. They have no interest in other things.

The atmosphere at the educated youth center was also extremely depressing. Everyone was looking forward to receiving their own admission letters, but now no one would bring up the topic of the college entrance examination.

After they came back, they checked their answers with Qin Wangshu and had some idea of ​​their scores. Those who did well were naturally happy, but those who did poorly did not show it.

Everyone maintains superficial harmony, but only they themselves know what they are thinking in their hearts.

Ever since Zhang Jiayu went to take the college entrance examination with Yang Mingye and others, he has become closer to this place, so when there is not much farm work to do, he goes to Aunt Luo's house and sits by the fire with Qin Wangshu.

"Qin Zhiqing, you actually have oranges here. They taste really good!" Zhang Jiayu was eating the oranges prepared by Qin Wangshu and cracking the melon seeds prepared by Aunt Luo, looking extremely leisurely.

He often comes here to eat during this period, but he doesn't eat and drink for free. He pays for his living expenses.

Aunt Luo didn't want it at first, but later he exchanged it for rations and meat and brought it over to eat with them.

After passing the exam, Yang Mingye returned to work in the transportation team. Although there were fewer jobs outside the province at the end of the year, there were still quite a lot of jobs in the surrounding areas.

There were only Qin Wangshu and Aunt Luo at home. Zhang Jiayu's arrival made Yang Mingye feel more at ease. If anything happened at home, it would be more convenient if a man was there.

Aunt Luo's family prepared a lot of delicious food, and Yang Mingye also brought back some specialties from other places when he went out driving his car.

Qin Wangshu likes to eat. When Yang Mingye discovered her little hobby, he would pay attention to see if there was anything to eat when he went to other places. If he found something that tasted good, he would bring it back to Qin Wangshu.

Yang Mingye was very grateful to Qin Wangshu, not only because she accompanied his mother, but also because she found a lot of medicine for him.

Qin Wangshu is the sister of his comrade-in-arms, and also his sister. Because of these reasons, he is very close to Qin Wangshu.

Qin Wangshu naturally felt Yang Mingye's kindness to her. She exchanged her sincerity for his, and she truly regarded Aunt Luo and Yang Mingye as her own family.

"Oranges can cause internal heat, and you've also eaten a lot of melon seeds, so eat less." Qin Wangshu poured Zhang Jiayu a cup of chrysanthemum tea, "I dried wild chrysanthemums in the fall, they can reduce internal heat."

Ever since Qin Wangshu drank the wild chrysanthemums dried by Aunt Luo, she planted some wild chrysanthemums in the space the following year and watered them with the well water in the space. The wild chrysanthemums tasted even better.

She dried a lot of it and used it to make tea throughout the summer. Now in winter, she makes a lot of it every day.

"You're living a really good life." He and Qin Wangshu were not so familiar with each other before, and he really didn't know that her life was so comfortable.

If he had gotten more familiar with the situation earlier, he would have been able to get more good things from Qin Wangshu.

"Do you have extra fruits?" Zhang Jiayu suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Why are you asking this?" Qin Wangshu also poured himself a cup of chrysanthemum tea. At this time, Aunt Luo passed by the door. "Aunt, do you want some water?"

Aunt Luo paused for a moment and said, "No, I'm not thirsty."

After saying that, she went back to her own business.

Qin Wangshu actually wanted to help her, but Aunt Luo disagreed. After Zhang Jiayu came, he also wanted to help Aunt Luo, but was rejected by her.

The work Aunt Luo had on her hands wasn't actually heavy, she just didn't want to sit there doing nothing.

"Do you have more?" Judging from Qin Wangshu's attitude, he must have more.

"Yes, there are still some." Because she was preparing for the college entrance examination a few days ago, she did not supply goods to Mengge and did not pick the fruits from the trees.

Now the whole space is filled with ripe fruits, and you can smell the rich fruity aroma every time you enter.

"Then give some to me and I'll use my money to buy them." Zhang Jiayu had tasted these fruits and they were really delicious. They could be kept even in winter, so he could send some back home.

His grandmother also likes to eat oranges, and it seems to be genetic, so his uncles and aunts also like to eat oranges.

It's just that oranges are not easy to buy, and they can only eat a few every year. If there are extra oranges here, he can send them back, or he can take a leave to visit his family and carry them back.

"Okay, I'll prepare some for you." Qin Wangshu nodded in agreement.

"Thank you very much. What's the price? I'll bring the money tomorrow?" Zhang Jiayu asked immediately.

"It's not a lot, so I won't charge you." It's impossible for Qin Wangshu to give Zhang Jiayu much, and he couldn't explain the source of the extra money.

"That won't do. Fresh fruit in the middle of winter is a rare commodity. How can we take it for free?"

"If I say no, then no. If you give me money, it means you don't consider me your friend anymore."

"Okay, okay. I won't give you money." Although he said he wouldn't give you money, he still felt bad about it. He planned to go out and buy some things tomorrow and bring them over.

Reciprocity is a courtesy!

Qin Wangshu only provided Zhang Jiayu with five kilograms of oranges, but he also gave him a few apples.

Zhang Jiayu had heard Qin Wangshu say it was a small amount, so he thought two kilograms would be good. He didn't expect there to be so much. It was really an unexpected surprise.

It seems that Qin Wangshu's understanding of "little" is different from what he thought it was. Looking at the red apple, Zhang Jiayu felt that he had taken advantage.

"There are so many? Why don't you let me pay? Qin Zhiqing, you've suffered a big loss this time!" Zhang Jiayu weighed the oranges in the net bag with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Just take it if I tell you to!" Qin Wangshu didn't take these oranges seriously. She had a lot of them piled up in her space now!

"Thank you very much!"

After getting the oranges, Zhang Jiayu did not go back to his place at all. He went straight to the commune's post office, ready to mail the stove out right away.

Five kilograms of oranges may seem like a lot, but if other people see them, they will be gone soon if everyone gets one. It is better to mail them out quickly.

After arriving at the post office, when she was in charge of weighing and calculating the money for Zhang Jiayu, she smelled the fragrance of the fruit and wanted to ask Zhang Jiayu for one, but she couldn't open her mouth.

"Little comrade, where did you buy these oranges? Do you have any more?"

"I'm afraid it's out of stock. I saw someone selling it near the hospital. It was quite expensive. If my grandma didn't like it, I wouldn't have bought it."

"Is it next to the commune's clinic?" After listening to Zhang Jiayu's description, she could only think of this.
