Chapter 167 Wool
When Jiang Jiang was little, her mother liked to collect all kinds of wool and knit sweaters for her. In the autumn and winter seasons, she would wear a different sweater every day of the week.
Jiang Jiang went to buy several large boxes of wool, and the shop owner also gave her several sets of crochet hooks and introductory tutorials.
Just this amount of wool is enough for everyone in Qingshan Village to make a sweater, a hat, a pair of gloves and a scarf.
After enjoying the fun of shopping again, Jiang Jiang returned home with a lot of things.
This time, Jiang Jianghao took a taxi from the county and headed straight to the foot of the mountain. The car was filled with the things she brought back.
There was a large box of medicine with the word "Award" on it, two boxes of wool and matching utensils with the words "Donated by the Humanities Association of Liaocheng University of Science and Technology", and several boxes of various instant noodle snacks.
Before Jiang Jiang came back, she specifically said hello, so when she got off the car, there were two people waiting for her at the foot of the mountain.
"Zhang Yang, Zhang Heng, why are you two here?"
As soon as he got off the car, Jiang Jiang greeted the two of them.
Zhang Yang was fine, as he had met him several times before, but this was the first time he met Zhang Heng and Jiang Jiang.
He looked very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, thin, with a short flat head. He greeted Jiang Jiang embarrassedly.
The age difference between the three of them is not very big. When they were young, they often went to the river to fish and went to the mountain to pick fruits together.
However, several girls of the same age as Jiang Jiang have married one after another over the past few years. Some moved to the next village, and some moved to the county. Jiang Jiang has not been able to see them during the few times she came back.
"Let's go. Now everyone is busy building the factory. After the factory is built, we have to repair the house. Everyone in the village is very busy. Only the two of us have some free time now."
As he spoke, Zhang Yang picked up the bag of wool in one hand and held the medicine box in the other.
"Hehe, this thing is not light." Zhang Yang couldn't help but say as he felt the weight on his back.
Zhang Heng consciously picked up two large boxes of fast food and snacks.
When it was Jiang Jiang's turn, only a large backpack was left.
She wanted to help Zhang Yang carry something, but was rejected.
"What can you do with that little strength? I think the bag is not light. Let's do it this way for now."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked in front.
Zhang Heng smiled but didn't say anything. He knew Zhang Yang was a tough-mouthed person with a soft heart. He was like that when he was a child and he is still like that now.
It was obvious that he was afraid that Jiang Jiang might not be able to carry the things, so he specifically greeted Captain Qin. But in his words, it meant that the two of them just happened to be free.
"I see the word 'prize' is written on your box. What prize did you win?"
Good question. Jiang Jiang brought the medicine box back and put a big word on it just for them to see.
"This box is full of medicines, for injuries caused by falls, wind-heat, cold, frostbite, and burns."
"Speaking of which, I was lucky. I happened to go to the drugstore to buy anti-inflammatory drugs, and they were having a promotion. A lucky draw was held for purchases over 38 yuan. The first prize was a medicine box worth several hundred yuan."
As Jiang Jiang spoke, he looked proud.
Even Zhang Heng couldn't help but marvel.
"So you won the first prize?"
"Of course not! Actually, I have a small medicine box at home, but the medicines are not so complete. If anyone in the village has a headache or fever, it can also be used."
Jiang Jiang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She had spent a lot of effort to bring the medicine box back properly.
But this is necessary. Otherwise, when the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, no one will be able to help, and without medicine, people will die soon.
As for the rest, she brought some things with her each time she went back to the mountain, so no one would find it strange when she took them out.
Although everyone in the village watched the original owner grow up, he was like a family member.
But Jiang Jiang is not the original owner. Having experienced two doomsdays, she knows best that human hearts are unpredictable and she will not pin her hopes on others.
You can help, but you can't threaten your own survival.
If she was at the end of her rope, she would rather hide in the space alone and spend the end of the world than take the mysterious reward after completing the second mission.
Jiang Jiang took the opportunity to talk about the origin of the two boxes of wool.
"Our school held a knitting activity before, and these are the leftover wool and crochet hooks, which they donated directly to us. When we have nothing to do in winter, we can knit some sweaters or hats to kill time."
"Okay, okay, everything is fine."
Zhang Heng didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and said yes.
Zhang Yang glanced at Zhang Heng who was holding two boxes and said:
"Those two boxes of instant noodles and snacks weren't donated by others, right?"
Jiang Jiang imitated the original owner and snorted.
"I work during the summer vacation and also have a part-time job during the week. What's wrong with earning some money to buy snacks for the children in the village? Or how about sharing your share with others?"
Zhang Yang didn't expect that he was also involved, so he shut up immediately.
Sure enough, in front of snacks, everyone became well-behaved and sensible.
Seeing that Zhang Heng was a little reserved, Jiang Jiang did not forget to take his feelings into consideration.
"Don't look at it. You worked so hard to carry it up there, so you must have a share!"
"hey-hey."
Zhang Heng didn't know what he was grinning about. He had clearly eaten quite a few of these snacks when he was delivering food in the city. Maybe other people's snacks just tasted better.
On the way back, Jiang, Jiang and the other two chatted and shared the interesting experiences they had.
Zhang Yang stayed in the village and mainly talked about some interesting things in the village. Jiang Jiang and Zhang Heng were not in the village for many years, but they listened with great interest.
When it was Jiang Jiang's turn to speak, she picked out some things that happened at school to share. After Zhang Heng and Zhang Yang heard it, they showed a hint of envy on their faces.
As for Zhang Heng, he mostly complained about some embarrassing things that happened to him while delivering food, as well as some of the worst people he encountered.
The three people's lives were completely different, but they intersected at this moment.
The two-hour mountain journey passed quickly with lots of chatting and laughing.
When the three returned to the village, they only saw a few children passing by with a large pile of firewood and branches.
"Sister Jiang Jiang! You're back!"
It happened to be the weekend, and several children quickly gathered around.
Compared to Zhang Yang, who often plays tricks on them, and Zhang Heng, who they are not very familiar with, Jiang Jiang, who often brings them snacks and candies, is the most popular.
Being stared at expectantly by a group of children with bright eyes, Jiang Jiang lived up to their expectations and took out a handful of hard candies from his pocket, giving each child a small handful.
"Wow!"
Several children jumped for joy.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang Jiang!"
"Thank you sister!"
Jiang Jiang waved at them.
"Let's all go play."
The children jumped for joy and ran away.
Zhang Yang felt a little uncomfortable.
"Give them less sugar. They are still teething and too much sugar is not good for them."
This candy is definitely sour, because he didn't have a considerate older sister to give him candy when he was a child.
"Come on, I'll give each of you one too. You're all grown up, and you're still arguing with kids."
The shiny transparent candies sparkle in colorful colors under the sun.
Eat more sweets, life is bitter enough.
