Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 364 Iron Man Spirit

Early the next morning, Jiang Yu got up, washed and packed. Since he was going out, he decided to have breakfast outside. His cooking skills were just so-so and certainly could not compare to the delicious food in state-owned restaurants.

Just as Jiang Yu had packed up and left, the brigade's broadcast notifying people to go to work rang out.

In order to avoid colliding with the main group, Jiang Yu quickened his pace, walked to the entrance of the educated youth site, stepped on the pedal of the bicycle, and the bike slid forward quickly.

The villagers in the brigade walked out in groups of three or four according to the household, and most of them saw Jiang Yu riding a bicycle out.

Compared to myself who was working in the fields, everyone felt extremely complicated.

"What's the difference between this and the girls in the city? It's really enviable." A grown girl sighed enviously.

"What is there to envy? They are educated youth sent to the countryside, but they are not sensible at all and never work in the fields. This is wrong!"

"Why didn't you correct her if you thought it was wrong? Was it because you couldn't beat her?"

......

No matter what the villagers behind him talked about, Jiang Yu's figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the straight road and headed towards the commune.

It was a bit foggy this morning and visibility was not too low, but we still had to pay attention to safety. So in order to eat faster, Jiang Yu fully opened up the acuity of his five senses.

The sounds of birds singing and insects chirping in the distance seemed to be very close at hand. Listening to these unique sounds of nature, Jiang Yu felt his mood become much more open.

She felt that she should go out, see the world, and experience things she had never experienced before, instead of being like a homebody, hiding in her room every day and working behind closed doors. This was not the right way to go, as it would make her path narrower and narrower.

She cherishes her own hands-on ability and hopes that her ability can be improved through learning, so she agreed to go with Fu Biao and his team. They hope that they can protect everyone's safety, and they can also gain knowledge along the way, killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking about what she could gain in the next period of time, Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel excited. She really wanted to see the outside world.

The bicycle seemed to be equipped with a battery for passive acceleration, and it rushed into the Hongqi Commune like a gust of wind.

Perhaps because there were so many people, the fog in the commune was much thinner. Jiang Yu walked along the road that he was familiar with and soon arrived at the entrance of the state-owned restaurant.

There are no customers in the store anymore. They must have had breakfast and gone to work in the factory.

Jiang Yu parked the car, locked it, and then walked quickly into the restaurant.

The waiter was counting the money collected this morning. He looked up and saw Jiang Yu, so he gestured and smiled, "Girl is here again. We have large intestine topping today. Would you like a bowl of noodles?"

"Okay! Add an extra topping." Jiang Yu immediately started to search his pockets upon hearing this.

The waiter collected the money and gave the change, then leaned against the service counter to chat with her, "Girl, are you going to the supply and marketing cooperative today? I heard that a lot of fresh and colorful fabrics have come in these two days. The weather is getting warmer, so you can buy some fabric to make shirts or skirts."

"What new patterns and designs! I'll go take a look." Anyway, the sewing machine has arrived. Although she doesn't know how to make clothes yet, she thinks she can still make two pillowcases.

"Girl, I see you come to the commune often. Have you ever thought about finding a man who has a job in the commune?" The waiter blinked and smiled ambiguously at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu waved his hands quickly, "No, no, my family still wants me to go back to the city, so..."

"Oh, I see. That's true. Girls should stay closer to home." The waitress understood and stopped her behavior. Soon the noodles were cooked. She turned around and took a tray and handed it to Jiang Yu. "Here, eat it while it's hot."

"Okay, thank you sister." Jiang Yu also thanked politely, picked up the tray, found an empty seat, and started eating noodles.

The purely handmade noodles are chewy and smooth, and paired with braised large intestine topping, they are rich in flavor, fat and have an excellent taste.

Jiang Yu finished the bowl of noodles in big mouthfuls, feeling extremely satisfied.

Sure enough, some money should be earned by capable people. I can't even make this noodle. Jiang Yu sighed.

After eating, she pushed her bike slowly forward as a way of digesting the food.

She was already very familiar with the road to the steel plant because she had been there several times when she accompanied Xue Li in the hospital, so she could take a shortcut for herself.

When she arrived at the school, it was class time. She went to Teacher Yang's office, but there was no one inside. The teachers probably all had classes. Jiang Yu simply put down her bicycle and wandered around the school.

She had an acute hearing and could hear the teachers' lectures while she was walking. Some were serious, some were interesting, and some were perfunctory.

As we walked, we arrived at the school cafeteria. The small building behind it was where the school teachers lived. An elderly lady came out slowly, leaning on a crutch.

Jiang Yu took a look and found that it was the old lady principal.

She took a few steps forward and held him by the arm, "Good morning, Principal."

"Hey." The old lady pushed her glasses and thought for a while, "It's Jiang Yu, right? Why did you come to school today?" She still remembered that it was agreed that she only needed to report once a month, but it was still the middle of the month.

Jiang Yu helped her walk towards the principal's office. "I'm here to ask for leave. I need to go out for something. I may not be able to come on the 1st of next month, so I came to ask for leave from the teacher."

"Oh, then you have to wait a while. The children still have a while before get out of class is over." said the old principal.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Jiang Yu said.

The old principal asked her to go to the principal's office to chat, since she had to wait until the get out of class was over anyway.

It had only been the beginning of the new year and they hadn't seen each other for a while, but the old lady's condition had deteriorated so quickly that Jiang Yu was surprised to see it.

When she came to register for admission at the end of last year, the old lady had clear eyes and looked in good spirits. How come she looks so old now?

The principal handed her a book and said, "You are a good child who knows how to make progress. Xiao Yang also told me that you are making rapid progress in your studies and you work very hard. This is a good thing. You should keep it up. I give this book to you as a souvenir. I hope you can learn from the iron man spirit, study hard, and live up to your life."

Jiang Yu was a little surprised. She took the book with both hands, then looked at the principal who was obviously a little depressed, and said with regret, "I will, Principal. I will definitely keep this book well, continue to study, and delve into the field I like."

The old lady was very pleased, her lips curled up and she laughed happily.
