The houses at the educated youth camp in Baiju Brigade are not big.

It is a three-story earthen brick house with two small rooms on the front and back, for a total of four rooms.

There are four rooms, one of which is a storage room at the back, and the other three are bedrooms, with two people sharing one room.

In the middle is the main room, where people eat or hold meetings.

However, as long as it is not raining or windy, people generally like to move a small table to the yard to eat or talk, and the main room is not used very often.

The kitchen was in a low hut built in the yard, which seemed very cramped with a few piles of firewood inside.

The bathroom was a simple hut smaller than the kitchen. It was added later and was right next to the female educated youth's room.

After Shen Xiaobei filled half a bucket of warm water in the kitchen, he carried it to the bathroom.

There is only a very small window on one of the four walls of the bathroom. It is rarely opened. When taking a shower, once the door is closed, it is so dark inside that you can't see your hand in front of you.

In order to save kerosene, the original owner got used to taking a bath in the dark after living there for a while.

However, the current Shen Xiaobei is not used to it.

After she closed the door, she took out a candle and a lighter from the space and lit the candle.

The original owner used soap to take a bath. Although she brought it to the bathroom, she didn't feel used to it after using it for a while.

Then he took out a facial cleanser and shower gel from the space.

When rubbing her arms with shower gel, Shen Xiaobei suddenly remembered that the red agate bracelet she had worn on her hand before traveling through time did not come with her, and she felt a little regretful.

"It seems I won't be able to go back, and I'll have to live out my life in this parallel universe! Fine, let's just make the best of it!"

Shen Xiaobei pulled the corner of his mouth lightly to comfort himself.

Then she unfortunately discovered that she had applied too much shower gel, and the half bucket of water in front of her was not enough for her to take a refreshing bath.

Fortunately, I have stored dozens of boxes of mineral water in the space. It is early summer now and it is not cold.

After the bath water was used up, the body was still slippery and the foam was not rinsed clean. Shen Xiaobei had no choice but to extravagantly take out ten bottles of mineral water from the space and pour them into the empty bucket.

I used this room temperature water to wipe my body again, and finally felt that the bath was clean.

However, the idea of ​​improving living conditions has become stronger in Shen Xiaobei's mind.

It was still 1972, and she had only been in the countryside for less than a year.

Whether it is waiting for the opportunity to transfer back to the city in a few years, or waiting for the college entrance examination and reform and opening up, it seems a long time.

Therefore, the only way to make the most of every day I have spent traveling through time and space by living comfortably in the countryside for the next few years is to make the most of every day I have spent traveling through time and space.

She had no experience of living in the countryside for a long time before.

In fact, Shen Xiaobei felt that this experience of traveling through time and space was quite fresh.

"Hey, Sister Xiaobei, you lit candles in the bathroom. I remember we ran out of candles a long time ago!"

When Shen Xiaobei came out of the shower, Ke Xiaoli came over from the yard, poked her head towards the bathroom, and asked in surprise.

"I brought back 50 today."

"Ah? That's so much! Sister Xiaobei, where do you get the money to buy it?"

"I didn't buy them. I met a distant cousin today. They drove a tractor from the county to the commune and the nearby brigade to do some business. They had some daily necessities on the tractor, and there happened to be a few bags of candles, so they gave me one."

Today it turns into a candle, tomorrow it turns into something else, and the day after tomorrow it turns into something else...

If you keep hiding it, it won't last long.

So Shen Xiaobei had an idea and thought of a way to solve the problem once and for all. He simply said that he had a distant relative in the county who had a good family background and could afford to drive a tractor.

"Sister Xiaobei, you have a cousin in the county? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"I didn't know before. I just happened to run into him that afternoon. Actually, I don't remember much about this cousin. It was only when he saw me on the street and said my mother and I looked like two peas in a pod, and he called out my name, that I barely had a glimpse of him."

"Okay, Xiaoli, let's talk tomorrow. Go get some water and wash up quickly. Sister Huifang and the others will need to wash up later."

"Yeah, okay, Sister Xiaobei! I've got my bucket, so I'll go get some water from the kitchen!"

"Okay, then go ahead."

Shen Xiaobei smiled and casually said a few perfunctory words to Ke Xiaoli, then carried the bucket back to the room.

She and Fan Huifang lived in the front room next to the bathroom. Ke Xiaoli and Kong Wanwan came here later than them and lived in their back room.

When I walked into the room, Fan Huifang was sorting her clothes.

"Xiaobei, are you done washing?"

"Well! Sister Huifang, thank you for tonight!"

"We are sisters, what are you thanking me for? I really don't want to see you and Kong Wanwan quarreling over a man. It's not worth it!"

"Sister Huifang, I know. I didn't understand it before because I was blinded by greed. Now I've come to terms with it. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. From today on, this matter is over!"

"Sister Huifang, I just thanked you for being so thoughtful and saving dinner for me!"

"Hey, Xiaobei, what's there to thank me for? We live together, just like a family. Since you didn't come back, I left a meal for you. Isn't that what I should do?"

"Sister Huifang, I'm an adult now. I know there aren't so many things adults should or shouldn't do, only things they are willing to do or not do!"

As Shen Xiaobei spoke, he turned around and squatted on the ground.

He deliberately turned his back to Fan Huifang, lowered his head and opened the inconspicuous canvas bag containing wet clothes that she had brought back.
