This was an anti-theft badge.
At this moment,
Wang Youzhi passed by and called out to her.
He felt that it was very strange. Some time ago, Liu Enci was quite good to him. He was so good that he felt that he was especially clingy and annoying.
Of course, at that time, his attention was on He Xiaoli, who was even more beautiful.
He had no feelings for Liu Enci.
He didn't know what was going on these days.
Not only did He Xiaoli ignore him, but even Liu Enci looked listless.
He saw Liu Enci wandering on the road with his head lowered.
He called out to her.
Liu Enci raised his head and glanced at Wang Youzhi. He lowered his head and grunted. It was obvious that his brain wasn't online.
This was how people were.
At first, she thought that Wang Youzhi was quite good. He was a fair-skinned young man.
Although he was from the family of the intellectual Ninth Son, she still admired this kind of boy.
But recently, even He Xiaoli didn't pay much attention to Wang Youzhi. She also felt that this person was quite boring.
Could he help her? Could he get a junior high school textbook?
Could he get a basket of fish to satisfy her craving?
He was just an ordinary educated youth like her. There was no hope of him returning to the city.
Moreover, he might not even be as good as her.
Liu Enci positioned herself as a primary school teacher.
As for Wang Youzhi,
The village had to retain the labor force.
A young boy like him was not allowed to transfer to a primary school.
Therefore, Liu Enci now looked down on Wang Youzhi.
"Where are you going?" There was no need to work in the fields today. Normally, a few educated youths could go to the county city together. Wang Youzhi's family was better off, so they gave him some money before he went to the countryside.
"Oh, I'm going to walk around." She was also very confused. She didn't want to talk to Wang Youzhi.
"I see that you have something on your mind recently. If there's anything, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you."
"It's nothing." Liu Enci avoided Wang Youzhi's question as if he was avoiding something.
Wang Youzhi was left at the scene with a dumbfounded expression.

He Xiaoli and Fu Ou decided to go to the county town to have a look. After all, the things in her space were not very complete. Moreover, she still needed to buy some paper money and other things.
These things weren't in the space.
For the time being, she only found two packs of sanitary pads, a pack of brown sugar, a pack of White Rabbit Creamy Soup, and a pack of milk powder. When she opened the space to throw in the rice and oil, she also found a box of eggs, two cans of malted milk powder …
She found that this space was very interesting. It was not like a small supermarket that had everything you wanted, but it would suddenly pop out what you needed.
For example, before her period came, there were sanitary pads. When she had a stomachache, there was brown sugar. To replenish her energy, there was White Rabbit Creamy Milk and milk powder. Finally, there was a box of eggs.
But why is there no pen and paper?
She felt that she had to find a way to let the things in the space appear in front of others. These things were her private collection, but it didn't mean that she had to hide every time she ate.
In the end, he decided to go to the county town and visit the supply and demand cooperative to wash these things clean.
Fu Ou also said that he wanted to go to the county town. He just happened to want to buy some things. From the mine, there was a hand-guided tractor that was also going to the county town on Sunday. The driver knew Fu Ou, so he agreed to give them a ride. In order to express his gratitude, He Xiaoli gave the driver five White Rabbit Creamy Candies when he got on the car.
The driver was a middle-aged man with a dark face. He didn't speak the local dialect and sounded like he was from the neighboring county. He Xiaoli thought that she should give something back to him. She had been like this since she was young and didn't like to owe people favors.
Moreover, she had brought her own supplies, so she was much better off than these people.
More importantly, she couldn't eat much, so it would be a waste to eat more.
The driver was also a worker in the mine. There were elderly and children in his family, and all the children were greedy for food. However, his salary was not high, and it was not easy for him to raise such a big family. He really didn't have spare money to buy these things.
Therefore, she didn't refuse and thanked him. She graciously accepted it. She originally wanted to put it directly in her shirt pocket, but she thought that the weather was hot. She was afraid that it would melt through her clothes, so she wrapped it with a handkerchief before wrapping it in a coat.
He Xiaoli looked at it and felt that she had given too little. However, people were like this. Giving too much at once would make people think that you were stupid or that there was something wrong with you.
She had always been on her guard against others.
The driver's two rows of silver teeth flashed when he smiled.
Since there was no one else in the car, it wasn't bad to have two more people. After all, there weren't many people like He Xiaoli who knew how to behave. It was also good to have someone to chat with on the road.
Just as they got on the car, Fu Ou seemed to have thought of something. He asked the driver to wait and quickly ran into the house. He came out with an old item in his hand.
When he walked closer, he saw that it was a praying mat. It looked like an old item from decades ago. He didn't know what he was doing with it.
From afar, the driver smiled and said, "Your partner is not bad. She's very considerate."
This misunderstanding was really deep.
Just as she was about to explain that he wasn't her partner, Fu Ou walked over and placed the praying mat on the seat. He said to her, "The road is very bumpy. You'll feel better if you sit on this."
He Xiaoli blushed. She finally understood why the driver had such a misunderstanding. However, she couldn't explain anything in front of Fu Ou. She coughed lightly and said, "I'm not that delicate."
The driver sat in the driver's seat while she and Fu Ou sat in the back.
She finally understood why Fu Ou specially went back to get the praying mat.
This car was simply not shockproof. If Fu Ou hadn't held her tightly, she would have been jolted out. As for her butt, it was slightly better under the protection of the praying mat. If it wasn't for the praying mat, her butt would have been smashed into pieces.
The two of them accidentally touched each other a few times. Although she knew that it wasn't intentional, Fu Ou was very gentlemanly. Occasionally, he would help her up. However, he tried his best to touch the less sensitive areas, such as the shoulders. He would never touch her waist or places that weren't covered by clothes.
He Xiaoli smiled at him gratefully. When she saw Fu Ou, her face became even redder.
He … could it be that he really didn't have a girlfriend before?
The distance from Dahe Village to the county town was close to 20 kilometers. The tractor jolted for more than 40 minutes before it finally stopped at a place near the county town. The driver came from the mine to transport coal. After loading the coal, he still had to wait for a while before returning.
Therefore, there were still a few hours in between.
"If you can reach here before 3 pm, I can give you a ride back." The driver had a friendly look on his face.
It would take at least four hours to walk back from the county town. He Xiaoli didn't believe that Fu Ou planned to walk back. He must have calculated the time and took the driver's car back and forth.
"Thank you, Brother Liu." She was too lazy to take the praying mat and simply left it in the driver's car.
"Okay, it's fine. It's on the way anyway." Actually, the people in this era were quite simple. However, He Xiaoli felt that the White Rabbit Creamy Candies were more effective. She had already realized that in this era where resources were scarce, things were actually very easy to handle. She could use five White Rabbit Creamy Candies to complete the 50-kilometer round trip. She could also use the White Rabbit Creamy Candies to do other things.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. It was really worth it.
Fu Ou glanced at her. He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
Other people might be able to take advantage of you once. However, it was hard to say if the person who gave you benefits would be able to give you benefits again.
The good thing about He Xiaoli was that she knew how to return the favor. When others received her kindness, those who knew what was good for them would naturally return the favor.
"What are you laughing at?" He Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him. After the bumpy journey, her revolutionary friendship with Fu Ou had deepened. If it was in the past, she wouldn't have acted so casually in front of him.
"No … nothing." However, he was a little curious. In fact, when He Xiaoli first arrived at the education center, he had already noticed her. Which boy wouldn't notice such a beautiful girl? However, this girl didn't seem to be easy to get along with. At first, she was crying non-stop. Later on, she acted very brainlessly. She didn't even know that she had been schemed against by Liu Enci. She was the kind of person who would still count money for others after being sold.
At that time, he really didn't realize that she actually had such a brain. He felt as if he had been reborn.
"You're quite resourceful." Fu Ou was sincerely complimenting her. This driver wasn't very easy to talk to. He had already spent a lot of effort begging him to bring them to the county town. He didn't expect that he would take the initiative to wait for them to go back together.
"This is called reciprocity." He Xiaoli understood this very well. "Some people think that they should take advantage of others once. I don't think so. People interact with each other. If others can't get benefits from you, under the same conditions, they might choose to help others next time."
This theory was quite interesting. It was very realistic, but it also made sense.
However, this was her business. Fu Ou wasn't so nosy and didn't care about everything.
"Why did you bring me to the county town?" The two of them got off the tractor. It was a gloomy dirt road. The nearby buildings were much better than those in Dahe Village. Could this be the county town?
Fu Ou pointed in the direction of the south and said, "We'll reach the county town in about ten minutes. I'm going to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books. Do you want to buy something else?"
So he was here to buy books. No wonder.
Speaking of this, He Xiaoli was curious. What did he study in the past?
"Electronic Engineering." Fu Ou looked ahead. "Our country's electronic engineering development is far behind America's. In the future, our country will definitely work hard to develop this industry. I believe that in a few decades, we will have cutting-edge electronic technology. Humans will use this technology to serve us. Of course, this is hard to imagine now."
He felt that what he said was too obscure. He was afraid that He Xiaoli wouldn't understand, so he stopped.
Actually, it was hard for him to imagine how advanced technology would be in the future.
He heard that there were already prototypes of electronic technology in Europe and America. Large electronic calculators could already be programmed. However, in this era, it wasn't perfect. Perhaps it would stagnate for many years. Perhaps it would develop rapidly. Who knew?
