Chapter 892 Poisonous Girlfriend 26
"I used to be too tired from work to cook, but now that I am not busy with farming, I want to enjoy my appetite. Even if there is no meat, I have to cook the vegetables well."

"Yeah, then you can teach me how to cook tomorrow."

"Yes, teach us how to cook. Then we can enjoy our appetite every day and cook Chinese cabbage to make delicious dishes."

"Hahaha... Let's not dry the mushrooms we picked in the mountains today. How about making some mushroom scrambled eggs tonight? Let's each contribute two cents and I'll go to the village chief's house to exchange for some eggs."

An egg cost five cents each. Sixteen educated youths could buy six eggs at two cents each.

Everyone agrees.

Only Shen Xiatian, who was washing her face at the kitchen door, pretended not to hear what they said.

After dinner, Yuanchun and Yu Hegui neatly cleaned up the dishes, carried their backpacks, took their tools, and went to the big mountain behind the village with the educated youth.

Yuanchun had the help of mental power and with the heroine by her side, they soon found a valley with plenty of mushrooms and firewood.

Everyone picked mushrooms first, then chopped wood.

The wood that is cut down is dead wood or lush branches from big trees.

There are also pine needles on the ground, which make good kindling matches.

At noon, after everyone had eaten the bread they brought, the male educated youth began to carry firewood and pine needles down the mountain, while the female educated youth continued to stay on the mountain to pick pine needles, chop dead trees, and bundle firewood.

Perhaps because she was afraid of causing public outrage, or perhaps because she was ostracized by all the female educated youth, for the next half month, when the educated youth were collecting firewood, Shen Xiatian did not act up again. Nor did she cry again.

Half a month later, there was almost enough firewood, but it was only enough to heat two kangs, so the male educated youth decided to take a day off and go to the market in Hulu Town the next day.

After discussing, the female educated youth decided to go to the market and buy everything they needed before the snow came, because once it snowed, the roads would be difficult to travel on.

The next day, everyone got up early, had breakfast, and went to the market in Hulu Town together.

A bag of cotton weighs thirty kilograms. Yuanchun bought a bag and spent two yuan to buy the cloth bag that contained the cotton. Then she went to the post office in the town and mailed the cotton and several pairs of cloth shoe insoles she bought for her family back to the Magic City.

Seeing this, Li Yujie also bought a bag of cotton and mailed it back home.

Li Yujie smiled and said, "You are smart. You know how to bring things home. I have been here for more than a year, and I have never thought of buying some cotton for my family."

Yuanchun smiled and said, "There are few cotton tickets in the Magic City. The thick quilt I cover myself with is made of cotton that my mother has saved for many years. She made it for my brother to use when he gets married. My mother heard that it is cold in the Northeast, so she put two quilts together. My brother will not have a new quilt to sleep on when he gets married."

Li Yujie understood. "It's warm in Shanghai. There's less cotton transferred there, so there are fewer cotton coupons. Cotton is concentrated in the northwest and northeast. I'm from the capital, and it's also cold. My parents' company gives out two kilograms of cotton coupons every year."

"Two kilograms is not a lot. It takes two years to make an eight-kilogram quilt. The cotton in the supply and marketing cooperative is 1.2 yuan per kilogram, and you need a cotton ticket. Here it's 1 yuan per kilogram, and you don't need a ticket. It's still more cost-effective to buy it here."

"Yes, I will write to my mother when I get back and ask her if she still needs cotton. I will buy another bag and mail it to my family next year. I have three older brothers, and my second and third brothers haven't married yet, so we need a lot of cotton."

Yu Hegui, who was walking behind the two of them, looked at Kong Yuanchun in surprise, then quietly left the team, quietly bought a bag of cotton, divided it into three packages, and sent it to Shu City.
