Chapter 45 Candles

Kou Qing Si
An Yinan thought about it and realized that he really should get a bicycle. In the past, it was troublesome to get a bicycle to go back to the village. When leaving the village, the car pulls people, and when returning to the village, people pull the cart.
But the village is too far away, and the time between coming and going is too long. She always has to wait for time.
If you have a bicycle, you don't need to ride it when you leave the village. You can just go down the slope and reach the county seat.
Even if she needs to walk slowly when she goes back, she is not afraid of walking.
However, the bicycle ticket needs to be exchanged, which is a bit troublesome.
After wandering back to the village, An Yinan went directly back to the Educated Youth Center, where he saw Xie Yuanyuan and Beibei sitting at the dinner table, one doing questions and the other sighing in boredom.
"You're back." Xie Yuanyuan's eyes lit up when she saw An Yinan.
An Yinan smiled and said, "When are you going to start work? In a few days, we should start harvesting yams, sweet potatoes, mustard knots and beets."
Later, I asked the brigade leader's wife that these dishes were relatively small in quantity and it was not compulsory to work. An Yinan felt at ease. Since it was not compulsory to work, it meant that she did not have to work.
As long as she didn't issue a letter of introduction and came back to the village every day, there would be nothing wrong with her. Besides, whether she was working as a translator or making clothes, it was much more cost-effective than earning work points from farming.
"I won't go, I give up." Xie Yuanyuan has no fighting spirit and no longer wants to prove herself before.
Reality taught her a lesson and taught her to give in~
After An Yinan entered the house, he took out the braised pork in the lunch box from the basket, returned to the shelf, put the meat cages in the porcelain basin, and then brought eight meat cages over.
"Let Beibei warm up the new food you bought." An Yinan handed the braised pork and meat cage to An Xiangbei.
The millet porridge had already been cooked, but when several people smelled the overbearing aroma of the braised pork, why did they hesitate?
"Go to my room to heat up. Beibei is making porridge here." Xie Yuanyuan quickly stood up, then took some firewood and took An Xiangbei back to the house.
The rice is heated very quickly, only about ten minutes.
When the braised pork is hot, the smell is not so overbearing. You can only smell it when you are close, but the smell does not drift out of the house, which saves a lot of trouble.
"Is it heated? Send these three meat cages to brother Zhang Qian." An Yinan filled three meat cages in a bowl and handed them to An Xiangbei.
An stumbled to the north and entered the courtyard.
Recently, Zhang Qian brought several wild rabbits. After she packed them up, she made them into wax rabbits and dried rabbits. They are still lying around. When they are completely dry, they can be mailed to the godmother to try.
The rabbit in his own space has not moved yet, and it will take some time to do so.
The three of them had a pleasant dinner. The braised pork was soft and delicious, melted in the mouth without any greasy feeling, and left a fragrant aroma on the lips and teeth.
"Are you going up the mountain tomorrow?" Xie Yuanyuan asked.
She found that the colder the weather, the faster firewood was consumed, and her storage capacity could not survive the winter.
An Yinan was a little surprised and looked up at Xie Yuanyuan, "Why are you going up the mountain? Don't you want to give in?"
Speaking of this, Xie Yuanyuan looked a little sad, "Old Xie won't send me firewood even if I'm a coward. I still have to rely on myself when it comes to collecting firewood."
An Yinan thought about the two bundles of firewood that this little girl had saved...
"I can't do it these two days. I still have something to do. I'll accompany you up the mountain to collect firewood in three days. If you don't have enough firewood these days, I'll just get the firewood from the side road." An Yinan replied.
Both An Yinan and An Xiangbei consciously store firewood. Recently, An Yinan has moved a lot of firewood out of the space, while An Xiangbei brings a bundle home every time he goes up the mountain, filling the entire aisle. Full of firewood.
"Okay, I'll wait and let me go up the mountain by myself. I'm really scared. I heard from people in the village that there are ferocious beasts on the mountain. Many people who went into the mountain never came out." Xie Yuanyuan immediately agreed and went to Bagua Village in the south of An. s legend.
After An Xiangbei packed up his things, he went back to his room to read. Recently, he had read the second volume of the fourth grade. He planned to master the fourth grade this winter and go directly to the fifth grade when school starts.
An Yinan felt that Beibei pushed her too hard, but Beibei took pleasure in it, so she didn't interfere too much.
After seeing off Xie Yuanyuan, An Yinan knocked on An Xiangbei's door, "Beibei."
When Beibei opened the door, he was still a little confused. He had been calculating a question all night and was about to get the answer when he heard a knock on the door.
An Yinan was speechless when he saw him like this. How could someone like reading so much?At least she won't...
"I went shopping in the county today and happened to see candles, which are much brighter than kerosene lamps. Let's light candles when studying from now on." An Yinan handed a pack of candles to An Xiangbei. There were ten candles in a pack. According to Beibei's instructions, Given the level of effort, one pack is estimated to last about twenty days.
"Sister, is this expensive?" An Xiangbei hesitated.
"I'll show you something." An Yinan thought for a while, then took out the translation certificate and handed it to An Xiangbei.
"My sister is now a foreign editor and translator at the National Compilation and Translation Bureau. She can earn hundreds of dollars every month. You don't have to worry about food or candles."
I wanted to hide it before, after all, it would be troublesome to let others know, and it would be too much of a waste to ask questions all day long.
But Bei Bei has a precocious mind. Once these explanations are given, he can study with peace of mind, without having to worry about the family's livelihood, and he will not be too frugal. Sometimes he only boils eggs for himself, but he is reluctant to eat them.
An Xiangbei's eyes lit up, and the stone in his heart eased a little. He heard that his sister earned work points, but he also knew that his family's living standard, not to mention the educated youth center, even the entire Quanshui Village did not have this level.
Other people's homes can eat some meat every few months, and they can eat some meat every year when pigs are slaughtered, but my own family has meat every now and then, and the meat is never cut off. Such a life requires money and tickets.
Moreover, he still needed six yuan in tuition for a year of primary school. In order to save his sister money, he worked hard to study at home. If he missed a year, he would spend less money.
"Are you at ease now? Young steward." An Yinan nodded An Xiangbei's forehead.
An Xiangbei smiled and nodded. He took the candle with both hands and couldn't help being happy. He immediately went back to the house and lit the candle. It instantly illuminated the entire cabin, which was brighter than lighting three kerosene lamps.
"It's so bright." An looked up to the north and looked around the house.
"Just use candles from now on, but pay attention to safety and don't cause a fire." An Yinan warned and went back to the house. Beibei, the kid, had a plan in mind.
She returned to the space to wash up, and then took out the cloth she bought. The army green cloth was about forty feet long. An Yinan thought about An Xiangbei's size, and the "click" sound never stopped when she raised her hands. , the scissors and the cloth kept changing their positions in the hands, but within 3 minutes, two pieces of cloth appeared on the workbench.
But the village is too far away, and the time between coming and going is too long. She always has to wait for time.
If you have a bicycle, you don't need to ride it when you leave the village. You can just go down the slope and reach the county seat.
