PS: I estimate that many bookworms may feel that the writing is a bit verbose, but there's no way around it. Many people are actually not clear about the situation, so the background needs to be explained clearly.

I shamelessly ask for readers to follow and read my new book. Otherwise, the rankings of Sweet Cone won't go up.

I have already saved some drafts, and I will definitely release more after it's published. Old bookworms should understand.

Once again, thank you for the support, brothers and sisters.

............

Back at the store, Yang Xiaole looked at Gao Danian and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Gao, I'm going back first!"

This is not the city, you can change places easily.

Here, you can only take it step by step, slowly.

During this period of time, there is no shortage of food. It's not yet time to exchange one small yellow fish (gold) for ten catties of cornmeal (corn flour).

Being too eager can lead to trouble.

Yang Xiaole prepared to leave, but then he remembered that there was still a shortage of kerosene in the space!

This thing doesn't require a ticket, but it's considered a strategic resource like cotton and sugar. It's distributed in fixed quantities, and it's not easy to buy when it's used up.

Then he asked Gao Danian, "Uncle Gao, can you get some kerosene? We've run out of kerosene at home."

These days, when they mention kerosene, they can't react quickly. They are used to adding the word "foreign" to everything from the past.

Matches are called "foreign fire," kerosene is called "foreign oil," bicycles are called "foreign vehicles"...

As for foreign toys...

Those are called "foreign dolls."

Gao Danian hesitated for a moment when he heard his request, "This thing is also limited in our store, it's not easy to get."

Yang Xiaole sneered.

He's just trying to deceive him!

But Gao Danian's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Our neighbor doesn't like to use kerosene. How about this, I'll get you half a catty, you can take it from me for now, and I'll give it back to him later."

Yang Xiaole smiled happily, "Alright, thank you, Uncle Gao!"

"Hey, no need to be polite! Wait a moment, I'll get you half a catty."

After saying that, he went to the back and took out a saltwater bottle with a little more than half of it filled with pale yellow liquid.

The bottle was also oily.

Yang Xiaole took the thing and thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Gao. How much is it?"

It's obvious that this was prepared in advance.

But half a catty can burn for a long time.

"You can give me 25 cents!"

When Yang Xiaole heard the price, he chuckled. 49 cents per catty, half a catty for 25 cents, no profit.

No problem, there must be something fishy!

He took out 25 cents and handed it to Gao Danian with a smile, "Uncle Gao, thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

"Then I'll go first!"

Gao Danian smiled and waved, "Okay, come over and play when you have time!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole greeted Gao Xinbao and left.

He ran towards the direction of the school.

It didn't take long for him to catch up with Luo Jinping.

"Teacher Luo!"

Luo Jinping saw him and felt a bit strange, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, I just wanted to ask, Teacher Luo, do you need money to ride the coal truck to the city? Can we ride it when we go to the hospital next time?"

"You're talking about this? It's free, but it depends on their mood and whether there's space."

Yang Xiaole nodded, indeed, it depends on their mood.

At this moment, there was a little rhyme: stethoscope, steering wheel, butcher knife, salesperson. These are all impressive professions for rural areas.

Having obtained the answer he wanted, he smiled, "Thank you, Teacher Luo. You can go back to your business. I'll go back first."

It seems that Zhang Laohan's information is outdated.

It's so good to take a ride!

Fast and free.

After Luo Jinping walked away, Yang Xiaole smiled and walked towards the road to the coal mine.

At this moment, he felt that he was finally free.

School will start soon, and he won't have time to go to the city. Besides, there will be a major event happening at that time.

He can't leave.

After walking for a while, he looked around and quietly entered the space.

At this time, two big and two small pigs were grunting in the pigpen. They were probably hungry.

As for the young chickens and a few ducks and geese, he locked them in a cage, and there didn't seem to be any problems for now.

He poured some cornmeal and well water into the chicken coop, and threw in some vegetable leaves. Then he didn't pay any more attention to them.

As for the pigs, he really didn't want to cook pig feed. It's too troublesome.

He mixed some cornmeal with water and poured it into the pig trough.

Immediately, the four pigs started fighting for it.

The piglets couldn't compete with the big pigs.

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment, used the remaining bricks to separate the pigpen, with half of the pig trough inside and half outside. This way, the piglets can finally get some food.

When he has time, he will try to cook pig feed for them.

After finishing everything, he drank some well water and left the space, heading towards the roadside.

It took a full hour and a half to walk the 5 kilometers before finally reaching the road.

It's still the bumpy road, with some coal ash falling on the ground.

"Hey, uncle, can you give me a ride?"

Just as he arrived at the intersection, he saw a truck passing by not far away.

But there was already someone sitting in the passenger seat, and the other party didn't stop and just drove away.

"Damn it! I'm so small, they could have squeezed a bit."

Seeing that the other party didn't even acknowledge him, Yang Xiaole was furious!

The scorching sun made him feel uncomfortable, and there were a bunch of mosquitoes in the grass on the roadside, biting his legs and causing them to swell.

"Smack!"

He killed a mosquito and sat on a dirt clod in the shade by the roadside, quietly waiting.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long.

A coal truck came slowly from a distance.Upon seeing the situation, Yang Xiaole quickly patted the dust off his buttocks and stood up. If they didn't take him along, he would hitch a ride to the city.

In his previous life, he had hitched a ride on a tractor, but this truck was a bit too high.

After thinking for a moment, he stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way, while the truck was still far away.

He didn't believe that they would run him over.

Soon, the truck swayed up to him, and indeed, it had slowed down.

"Screech!"

The truck stopped, and a young man with a flat head appeared in the window, probably in his late twenties, dressed in a blue worker's uniform.

His clothes were pitch black.

With a pair of triangular eyes, he didn't look like a good person!

"Little kid, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid of being run over?"

The man stuck his head out and called out with a smile.

Seeing that the passenger seat was empty, Yang Xiaole quickly ran over: "Brother, can you take me to the city? I came to the countryside to visit my grandmother, and now I want to go back. The county town is too far away."

At this point, he had changed into new clothes he bought in the city.

"Oh, where do you live?"

"Front Door Street……"

He casually gave Luo Jinping's address.

The man looked him over and nodded: "Alright, get in!"

"Ah, okay, thank you!"

After saying that, he happily went to the passenger door and got in.

Seeing his actions, the man laughed: "Shout and Sell, you're quite skilled!"

Country kids seeing a truck is like seeing a treasure, they're not this skilled.

He casually took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes, lit one with a match, and took a puff.

This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Only then did he start the truck and leave.

The truck was an old-fashioned one, with a particularly large front and a not-so-large cargo compartment.

The interior decoration was also very old.

"Kid, which school are you from?"

The man asked casually while smoking.

"Oh, Damucang Primary School."

Yang Xiaole casually gave Hua Yourong's school, anyway, he wasn't clear about the specific schools there.

The man lightly responded.

Then the two of them started chatting.

He also learned the man's name.

Xu Daniu

What a down-to-earth name.
