Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

As darkness fell and the temperature dropped, the villagers went home to cook, and those who had been building houses also returned home. The village became quiet all around.

Liu Xiangyang and three others sat around the kang table, eating, drinking, and chatting.

"I asked Aunt Wang today, and the vegetables will be ready to harvest in a couple of days. The village should be distributing grain tomorrow. We'll see how many vegetables each of us gets, and then we'll store them in the cellar. If we don't have enough, we'll go to the county town to buy some as soon as possible."

"After the grain is distributed tomorrow, I'm going to visit a few surrounding villages to get to know the people. I'll be dealing with them a lot next year. You guys go to the county town and buy some vegetables, as much as you can."

After saying that, he counted out ten large black bills and some tickets and handed them to them: "Buy three or four hundred catties each. If we can't finish them in winter, we can eat them next year."

Leqi: "I asked about the price. In previous years, Chinese cabbage was only 2 cents a pound and radish was 3 cents a pound. It doesn't cost that much money and coupons."

"If you don't need that much, then go and see what you want to buy and buy it. I will make sure you all live a good life."

The three of them exchanged glances, and Leqi pushed the money to Xue Bingbing, telling her to keep it.

Xue Bingbing: "I've never seen so much money in my life. Leqi, you should manage the money."

After thinking for a moment, Leqi said, "Okay, then I'll take it for now."

Le Yao: "My older sister has always been good at managing money. I always run out of my allowance early on, but she always has some left over."

Xue Bingbing: "So it turns out our Leqi has been a busybody since she was little."

The group finished their meal chatting and laughing. Le Yao had only drunk a little wine that night and didn't drink any more.

Xue Bingbing: "Leqi, come to my room. Let's discuss what we need to buy tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go to your room and discuss it. Let's go."

Hearing the two's deliberate words, Le Yao blushed so deeply that her face seemed to bleed. She lowered her head, playing with her fingers, unable to say a word.

Liu Xiangyang watched their performance with a smile.

After Xue Bingbing and Le Qi left, Liu Xiangyang shifted his body and moved closer to Le Yao, taking her hand and stroking it.

Le Yao: "I'm scared of Liu Xiangyang. I noticed my sister has been walking with a slight limp all day."

Hearing Le Yao's words, Liu Xiangyang pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back, saying, "It's okay, don't worry, I'm here. Didn't they tell you?"

"I did say that, but..."

"Don't worry, Yao Yao, I'll take care of everything. Just follow my instructions."

The wind outside suddenly howled, but Liu Xiangyang ignored it and gently unbuttoned his clothes one button at a time.

At this moment, Xue Bingbing and Le Qi were exchanging experiences when the feeling of ants gnawing at their hearts, which they had experienced the previous night, suddenly returned, making them feel restless.

Just then, Leqi suddenly felt something and collapsed onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

At this moment, Liu Xiangyang, who was inside the room, transformed into Olaf, becoming a berserker.

Leqi's words startled Xue Bingbing.

Leqi's forehead was slightly sweaty, dampening her hair. She lay on her side with her eyes half-closed...

Inside the room, Le Yao slowly regained her senses.

"It's different from what they said."

Le Yao opened her eyes and saw Liu Xiangyang looking at her with a smile in his eyes. She let out a soft whimper and snuggled into Liu Xiangyang's arms.

Liu Xiangyang whispered in Le Yao's ear, "It's not over yet, let's drive a little further."

Liu Xiangyang rubbed his eyes, glanced at his watch, and saw it was 8:30. Almost all the numbers were C.

After getting up and washing up, I added hay for the rabbit and went to Xue Bingbing's yard. Leqi and Xue Bingbing were busy in the kitchen.

When Xue Bingbing saw Liu Xiangyang come in, she smiled at Le Qi, and Le Qi pinched Xue Bingbing's ticklish spot.

Liu Xiangyang walked into the kitchen, pulled the two of them into his arms, and kissed them both. "I'm going to check on Le Yao."

When I entered the room, Le Yao was already up, wearing only a bellyband and preparing to put on her pants.

Liu Xiangyang quickly stepped forward, grabbing his trouser leg and saying, "Let me do it. Your wound hasn't healed yet. Let me check it for you first."

Liu Xiangyang carefully examined the wound and found it was fine; it was much better than Leqi's yesterday.

"Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, this is Zhang Tiejun. Gather at the village warehouse at 8:30. Grain distribution is about to begin. I'll say it again, grain distribution is about to begin. That's all."

As soon as the broadcast stopped, the whole village became noisy, and the strange cries of the educated youth could be faintly heard.

Liu Xiangyang: "When we distribute the grain later, let's replace all our staple grains with refined grains. We won't eat coarse grains anymore. I'll take care of any shortages. You guys can think about what kind of grains you want to replace them with."

Leqi: "Let's switch to some corn and potatoes."

Liu Xiangyang then gestured to Xue Bingbing and Le Yao, who shook their heads and said, "We'll listen to you."

"Okay, let's exchange some corn and potatoes, and the rest for refined grains. After the grain is distributed, you can go to the county town to pick up some vegetables. I'll go to the other two villages and we'll harvest our own vegetables tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

The area in front of the village office was bustling with activity, everyone busy with smiles on their faces.

Today is the biggest event in Dongsheng Village besides the Spring Festival. Everyone has to calculate the amount of grain they want to exchange based on their work points, and then line up at the mill to have their flour ground.

Some people only had two or three days' worth of food left, while others would go hungry if they didn't receive their food today.

(I won't go into the specific data on grain distribution, as it varies from place to place, to avoid being criticized.)

When the three leaders came out, the distribution of grain in Dongsheng Village officially began.

First, Li Jianjun read out everyone's work points. Anyone who felt there was a problem with their work points could raise it on the spot and have it checked with the scorekeeper. Only a very few teams had objections to their work points. Everyone knew how many work points they had earned.

Then the distribution of grain began, starting with the villagers. However, the villagers distributed the grain as a whole family. At this point, a final confirmation was made with the warehouse staff, followed by signing and pressing their fingerprints to receive the grain, money, and coupons they were entitled to for the year. Finally, they carried the grain home.

It wasn't until midday that the last villager finished receiving his grain, by which time the three leaders were red-faced and visibly angry.

The educated youths had been waiting impatiently, and without paying any attention to the three of them, they surrounded them.

Zhang Tiejun slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Get the hell into line! If you keep making a ruckus, we'll go back and eat before we come back to distribute your rations."
