Chapter 2

But just as he was about to turn around, his ankle suddenly hurt so much that she couldn't help but scream: "Ah!"

Lu Yao's mouth twitched, he squatted down helplessly, and said calmly:
"Don't move! I'll carry you!"

Looking at the thin and tall figure of the young man in front of her, the girl's beautiful face was instantly reddened and she stammered:
"This...but..."

The young man frowned and said impatiently:
"No but!"

The girl hesitated for a moment before she nodded and slowly said:
"Oh well."

"Come up!" the young man urged again.

The girl nodded blankly: "Oh."

Li Xiangxue was carried away by the young man for a while and suddenly said:
"That... thank you! What's your name? You're not from the village, are you?"

"You're welcome. Going to the countryside as an educated youth, Lu Yao." The young man's expression was as calm as water, and his emotion could be heard in his voice.

The girl didn't seem to care about the boy's attitude and instead said to herself:
"Lu Yao, my name is Li Xiangxue."

The young man responded casually: "Yes."

Lu Yao carried Li Xiangxue to the foot of the mountain, and happened to meet the village chief's wife, Li Xiangxue's mother Zhang Guihua, who came to wash clothes!
When Zhang Guihua saw her daughter being carried by a strange man, she was frightened and ran over to ask her:
"Ouch! My dear girl, what's wrong with you? How can you let a strange man carry you? Come on, come on! Come down!"

"Auntie, Comrade Li's foot is injured, let's go to the hospital for a check-up first, right?"

"What? Injured your foot? Then go to the hospital for a checkup quickly! Thank you, comrade! What are you doing?"

"It's a long way to go to the countryside as an educated youth."

"Oh! By the way! Thank you!"

"You're welcome. You should."

Lu Yao carried Li Xiangxue to the small clinic in the village for a check-up. It was just a sprain and he should rest for a few days.

The village chief's wife paid the medical bills, and Li Xiangxue's third brother Li Aijun carried her home. As Li Xiangxue's savior, Lu Yao was invited to the village chief's house for dinner.

Lu Yao couldn't resist his kindness and left.

The village chief's family has three sons, one daughter, two daughters-in-law, and four grandchildren.The eldest son works as a worker in the village, the second son is a soldier and is said to be a company commander, and the younger son is idle in the village doing nothing.

When the village chief came back and heard that Lu Yao had saved his little girl, he gave him two kilograms of grain as a thank you gift. Lu Yao declined several times and finally accepted the thank you gift after being bombarded by the village chief's family.

It was getting late when Lu Yao went back. He went to the river to pick up a bucket of water, wash himself briefly and then went to bed.

After a busy day, my back ached and I fell asleep quickly.

I got up early the next morning and had to go to work.

In his previous life, Lu Yao was from a well-to-do family. After graduating from a prestigious university, he became a special assistant to the president. He had never done farm work before, so he chose the simplest and lightest job, but also the smallest centimeter.

Cut pigweed!
Lu Yao was a woman before and never had to do heavy work, but now she is a man who is strong and strong, so it is no problem to cut pig grass.

Although his strength has increased, he is still weak compared to men of the same age in the village. After all, the original owner grew up in the city and never did farm work!
When the villagers and educated youth saw that Lu Yao actually chose a child to do the job, they couldn't help but laugh at him for not growing up yet.

Lu Yao didn't care about other people's opinions. After all, he really didn't know how to do farm work, and cutting pigweed was easy because he had no technical content.He doesn't live on these cents anyway.

He has more important things to do!
After cutting the pigweed, Lu Yao started running up the mountain again with a basket on his back.

He found a lot of wild vegetables, fruits and herbs in the mountains based on the knowledge he had seen from wild survival documentaries on TV.

In this era, the level of medical care is limited, western medicine is expensive, and ordinary people look down on diseases, so herbal medicine is a must.

He also found some wood ear mushrooms, which he planned to dry and exchange for food on the black market.

On the way back, I saw a group of children catching fish in the river.

Lu Yao saw them catch a small fish, play with it and put it back into the river.

Lu Yao felt a little strange, so he walked over and asked: "Hello, little friends, I am Lu Yao, an educated youth who went to the countryside. Why did you put the small fish back when you caught it just now?"

“Small fish don’t taste good.”

"Well, let's do this. Big brother has some candy here. You guys can help me catch the fish. Can big brother treat you to some candy?"

"You know? You want to treat us to candy? You're not lying to us, are you?"

"No. Big brother will give each of you a candy first. When you help me catch the fish, big brother will give you all the candies!"

"Really? Okay, okay! I'll go in and catch you now!"

"Really. Go. Be careful not to go into deep water."

"I know, I know! Don't worry! I come here often to play in the water and nothing will happen!"

The little friends took the candies and immediately stuffed them into their mouths. Their eyes were as bright as gems, and then they jumped into the water one after another and soaked in the water like dumplings.

After a while, he caught a pot of small fish. Lu Yao looked at it and although he was not satisfied, it was still okay. He also fulfilled his promise and gave them all the candies he used to satisfy his hunger.

After the children got the candy, they immediately stuffed it into their mouths and held it in their mouths reluctantly, wanting to keep it sweet for a while.

Lu Yao held the wooden basin and said to the little friends: "Big brother, let me borrow your wooden basin for a while and return it to you later, okay?"

Because of the candies, the little friends had a little more trust in Lu Yao, so they readily agreed.

Lu Yao smiled and carried the wooden basin back to the thatched house. He took the money and exchanged the wooden basin for his neighbor for thirty cents.

Then he took out the children's wooden basin and returned the wooden basin to them. This wooden basin was brought by a little basin friend named Huzi. He seemed to be the leader of this group of little basin friends. Everyone listened to him. .

Lu Yao didn't know what he thought of, smiled and said to Huzi: "Huzi, if you have time, can you help me catch small fish tomorrow? Crabs, shrimps, loaches, snails and so on are all fine. I still have them here. How about we exchange candies, cookies, etc.?"

"Really? Okay! It's a deal! Liars are like puppies!"

"Yes. A gentleman's words are hard to follow!"

"Okay! I'll do it!"

"I'll do it too!"

"And me!"

"Okay, okay! Everyone has it!"

After the friends left, Lu Yao started to clean up the small fish, then fried the fish, and cooked a pot of porridge, then poured the fish in and cooked, and soon a pot of fish porridge was ready.

The aroma penetrated his nose and made him drool all over the floor. He eagerly scooped up a bowl and drank it.

"Hmm~ It feels good~" After eating a bowl of porridge, I felt good.

The next day, Lu Yao came back from a business trip and saw a group of children waiting for him.

Lu Yao knew what they were doing after just one glance. He smiled and walked over, saying gently: "Huzi, you guys came on time, right? Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Sorry, please come in..."

Lu Yao opened the door and let the little friends in, then took out a wooden basin and poured all the small fish, shrimps, crabs, snails, etc. in their wooden basin into it.

Then he took out a pack of biscuits and gave them to them and said gently: "Thank you everyone for your hard work! Big brother will give you one more biscuit and hope you will keep up the hard work!"

"Thank you, big brother!"

"Big Brother is a good man!"

"Big brother's biscuits are delicious!"

"I'll catch small fish for my big brother!"

"I'll call my younger brothers and sisters too!!"

Soon a week passed, and the adults in the village discovered a strange thing. Their children seemed to like going out to play more and more. They went out for the whole day, and played outside all the time except after eating and going to bed. So they secretly observed Suddenly a secret was discovered!
Their children traded the small fish and shrimp they caught, things that no one liked to eat, with the educated youths in exchange for precious things like cookies and candies!

The adults looked shocked!However, they are happy to see the success. Anyway, it is not their own children who suffer the consequences, so they can do whatever they like.

So the adults just let it go.Some even encourage their children to exchange more cookies and candies for sweet treats.

When the other educated youth heard about this, they all scoffed and thought that Lu Yao was a fool. What's so good about small fish and shrimps?It’s not even enough to fill the gap between your teeth!There's something wrong with this Lu Yao's brain!Only a fool and a lazy man like him would eat such unpalatable food!
Lu Yao heard the rumors but he didn't care. He never focused on such unimportant things.He is very busy!
These days, Lu Yao has used some secret seasonings to make small cans of small fish and shrimps that he can't eat, and put them in glass bottles bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. He plans to sell these cans on the black market.

On this day, Lu Yao came back from a business trip and took candies, exchanged them for small fish and other things brought by his friends, and then went to the black market.

When he arrived in the town, Lu Yao started to disguise himself and made himself look so bad that even his own father could not recognize him before he could safely inquire about the black market.

Of course, he didn't dare to inquire blatantly. He could only make some insinuations, which was still very covert.

The black market is hidden in a small forest, and most people know that it cannot be found.

Lu Yao brought five cans to sell this time. Because these were not ordinary goods, ordinary people really couldn't afford them, so Lu Yao picked big fish to start with. Those that looked stupid and had a lot of money were the best.

Maybe it’s because Lu Yao’s cans are relatively rare, and people are curious about rare things, and the novelty is the most attractive!It was sold out before dark.

Lu Yao took the money and carefully looked around the black market for fear of being discovered. In this era, people who buy and sell illegally will be beaten to death once they are caught.I lost my wife and lost my troops!

Lu Yao took the ticket and money to the supply and marketing cooperative and planned to buy rice noodles or something.

As a result, I was hit by a student on the way.

That student was tall, thin, fair and clean, and looked like he had not yet graduated from junior high school. He was well-dressed and it was obvious that he was well-paid.

As if being chased by something, he ran too fast and kept looking back, so he didn't notice anyone in front of him. The unlucky Lu Yao was cannon fodder.
