Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Chapter 2193 Cousin is a capitalist lady 19
Moving cotton-padded clothes and quilts in the sweltering summer heat is no easy task. Zhang Yu made three trips back and forth before finally getting everything over there.

Everyone was previously wondering why the Zhang sisters had so little luggage, but now they were truly stunned when they saw the luggage that Zhang Yu had brought.

"This must have cost a lot of money to mail it here," a fellow villager remarked, looking at the enormous package.

"It's better than the two of us bringing it from home. At home, someone saw us off on the train, but when we got off, we had to travel from the city to the county town, and from the county town to the commune. The two of us simply couldn't carry it all."

Everyone looked at Zhang Yu and the other person's physique and remained silent. Let alone two girls, even two boys would find this burden quite heavy.

"As for the postage, it is a bit expensive. I don't know the exact amount, but it's easily affordable. If my younger brother also came along, even if we grit our teeth, we wouldn't be able to afford it."

"Of these three packages, I only have one," Zhang Yu said, pointing to the smallest package. "The other two belong to my sister."

Huh? Everyone really thought it was for the two of them, which already shocked them. How much stuff did they bring?

They now realized that Zhang Yu had taken the smallest package, while the two largest packages belonged to Zhang Hui.

They used to think Zhang Hui was quite spoiled, making Zhang Yu do many things while she quietly stayed on the sidelines. Now they realized that she had the resources to back it up. What family would prepare so many things for their daughter when she was sent to the countryside as an educated youth?

If it's a son who's a sent-down youth, and the family prepares so many things for him, then it's quite possible. But for a daughter, it's really rare.

Those with ulterior motives looked at Zhang Hui with much more enthusiasm. Of course, there were also many people looking at Zhang Yu, especially those who were sent-down youths in the same brigade.

Zhang Yu felt everyone's gaze on her and knew that she and her companion were being watched, but she didn't care at all.

These large and small packages couldn't possibly escape everyone's notice, not to mention the monthly remittance slips that would be received. Over time, word would spread, and not only would the educated youth be tempted, but the villagers would be too.

The Zhang family sends Zhang Yu 15 yuan every month, which adds up to at least 180 yuan a year. You have to understand that in the countryside, a strong laborer can only get 180 yuan in cash at the end of the year after deducting the grain he gets. It also depends on the village's income and whether the work points are valuable.

Anyway, the monthly remittances alone are enough to attract attention, and there are definitely many people eyeing them, but I don't care, I really don't care.

Zhang Hui felt the people around her looking at her with calculating eyes, and she glared at Zhang Yu unhappily. Really, was it really necessary to explain the matter of carrying the package so clearly?
Why can't she just say it's theirs? That's outrageous; I really don't know what she's thinking.

The lead singer certainly remembered Zhang Yu. Yesterday on the truck, both of them had water bottles, and the bottles were full of water, but they wouldn't let her drink a drop. It was really too much.

When they arrived at the hotel that evening, they didn't even consult with anyone before booking a double room. What's even more outrageous is that they didn't tell anyone before going to a restaurant to eat. By the time they arrived, the restaurant had already closed, and no matter what they said, the restaurant staff insisted on closing.

Even if they said they were newly arrived educated youth and that the journey had taken them a long time, the other party would not agree. They would say that since the same group of educated youth had arrived, why were two of them already eating? They would ask what the other two had been doing.

Everyone knows that the restaurant staff were referring to the Zhang sisters, Zhang Yu and Zhang Hui. If they wanted to beg for forgiveness, they would have no way to say it anymore. They arrived together, and there was no way to hide it from anyone.

What's even more annoying is that she managed to go to the restaurant for breakfast today, but she didn't buy lunch. She was supposed to make it to the commune by noon, but then the car broke down. By the time she got to the first commune, the lunch service had just ended, and now her stomach was growling loudly; she was starving.

"You two are so lucky, you have the energy to go to the post office to get things. We're miserable, we don't even get to eat lunch." The lead singer went on and on.

No way, this is related to her again? Zhang Yu was completely dumbfounded. What does your hunger have to do with her?
Forget it, I won't argue with her. After all, she's been hungry for so long, so it's forgivable that she's in a bad mood. With that thought, Zhang Yu sat on the curb and waited for the village to come and pick them up.

Zhang Yu thought, "Didn't you say you were hungry? Then don't talk. Save your energy. After all, we still have to walk back later, right?"

As a result, this person insisted on making a scene, and even stirred up the emotions of those around them.

They've already directly insulted her. If she doesn't stand up, they'll really think she's easy to bully. "When I bought steamed buns this morning, someone asked me why I bought them. I said it's better to be prepared. Yesterday, it took us longer to get from the city to the county."

"So I thought it wouldn't hurt to prepare, since I'd have to buy lunch anyway, whether I bought it in the county town or the commune, it was all the same. Did I say that?"

Several people present nodded, "Yes, you said so."

"See? I did say something, and I remember there were a few other people who also bought steamed buns later."

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, the people who went back to buy steamed buns nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's why I felt it was necessary to prepare some food after hearing these words."

"See? I said the same thing, and some people bought food while others didn't. They think I'm overthinking it. But what does it matter to me if you don't buy food?"

“I remember when it was announced that a car would take us to the commune, some of you said the car was fast and would get us to the commune quickly, and that some people were not good at calculating, not buying fresh food and insisting on hoarding it.”

When the lead singer found out about the change in transportation, she was so smug, constantly jumping around saying how lucky she was that she hadn't bought lunch, otherwise the food would have tasted much worse. As a result, now a huge group of people are starving.

Zhang Yu's words were so reasonable and well-founded that those who were jumping around behind the lead singer had no choice but to shut up, because if they continued to make trouble, none of them would have a good outcome.

The lead singer hadn't expected the situation to be so favorable just now, thinking she could suppress Zhang Yu this time. Who would have thought that this girl would explain things so quickly?

The lead singer knew she couldn't deal with Zhang Yu this time, so she could only look for another suitable opportunity.

Zhang Hui originally thought Zhang Yu would be in trouble this time, but who would have thought that she could easily resolve everything for Zhang Yu again? Sigh, what a paper tiger.

I thought she was so aggressive that she could definitely handle Zhang Yu, but who knew... sigh.

Seeing that no one from the village had come yet, Zhang Yu picked up the kettle and went to the gatekeeper of the commune office building to ask for some hot water. She could have filled Zhang Hui's kettle anyway, since it was just a convenient thing to do.

She had seen the girl's expression of watching the commotion and her slightly disappointed look, so she didn't help.
