Chapter 056

They followed and saw that the person who came to see them was Su Yun. Their doubts disappeared immediately and they were soon filled with emotion, and they felt a heavy sense of security and strength.

When Su Yun saw the three of them, tears instantly filled her eyes.

All the grievances and sadness I had endured for so many days could hardly be contained at this moment.

With tears in her eyes, she came to Han Ting and the other two and asked with a trembling voice, "Are you all okay?"

After not seeing each other for a few days, Su Yun looked as if she had been ravaged by wind and frost.

I don't need to ask to know how much she suffered in the youth cadre center during the days after they left.

Han Ting's eyes were filled with heartache when he looked at her. He said in a soft voice, "We just suffered a little and were tired. It's nothing serious. What about you? How are you?"

Su Yun sniffed, looked at Han Ting with tears in her eyes and said, "After you left, Li Qiao and Hu Yang and the others just divided the food and disbanded. They isolated me and treated me with a mean attitude. Not only did they secretly eat up all the vegetables in the vegetable garden, they also wanted to swallow up the food for the three of you. I had a lot of trouble to get it from you, but they were not happy that I asked for the food, so they slandered me for having a bad style and said they would report me to the team."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and handed the snakeskin bag to Han Ting. "I am not as free as before. Wu Changming is watching me every day. I can't go anywhere except to work and go back to the educated youth camp. Today, I finally convinced Wu Changming to take some time to deliver it to you."

Han Ting didn't reach out to take the snakeskin bag. He just cursed with a fierce look on his face: "These bastards!"

Chaozi and Guogai were also furious after hearing what was said, and cursed together: "What a fucking piece of shit!"

They decided to go to the brigade's granary to get food, one of the main reasons being to prevent the other people from starving. However, they didn't expect that as soon as they left, they started bullying Su Yun.

They all knew that Su Yun was his, Han Ting's, person, and they also knew that Su Yun had always been weak and delicate. It would have been fine if they didn't just help take care of her, but they joined forces to bully her.

What does it mean to be affectionate, loyal, and share honor and disgrace?

When it comes to interests, they are all selfish, ungrateful, ungrateful bastards.

He is the same kind of person as Lin Xiaohan.

They completely ignored Han Ting.

He just came to the labor camp for three months, it's not like he's going to die and won't go back.

It's worth it to use this incident to see them clearly.

Su Yun had almost finished complaining about the grievances she needed to complain about. She sniffed and said, "There's not much food left. This is for the three of you. Take it quickly. I have to go back to work. Wu Changming is really fierce. He has a whip in his hand every day. If I go back late, I'll be punished."

Han Ting and the others didn't have much time to discuss this in detail.

Han Ting did not take the food from Su Yun, but just said, "There is only so much food in total. It won't be of much use if we take it. Each person will eat a few bites and it will be gone. Leaving it to you alone will be more useful and you can eat better. I will be away during this period. Take care of yourself and wait for me to return."

Su Yun looked at him with tears in her eyes, "What will you do if you don't want food?"

Han Ting smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry about us. This little difficulty won't kill us. We met two more buddies here. They have food, and there are a lot of wild vegetables around here."

Su Yun looked at Han Ting and couldn't hold back her tears.

Han Ting raised his hands and wiped them on himself twice, then reached out to wipe her tears, and said, "It's my fault. I didn't listen to you that day and made you suffer. When I get back, I will listen to you in everything from now on."

Su Yun choked up and nodded, "Yeah."

That was about it, Han Ting and his team were urged to return to the construction site.

Su Yun watched them walk away and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

Han Ting and two others walked toward the construction site while talking in low voices.

Pot Cover said, "Damn it, let's go back and kill those bastards."

Su Yun didn't have time to stay outside any longer.

After she watched Han Ting and the others walk away, she immediately went back, carrying the deflated snakeskin bag.

After meeting Han Ting and telling him about her grievances, she now feels more powerful.

No matter what, her life would not be more difficult than Hu Yang and Li Qiao. She had enough food for four people, so she just had to grit her teeth and endure the hardship of the next three months.

Wu Changming would only supervise and discipline them for three months at most.

***

In the sunshine, Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan carried the dark green tiles onto the cart.

After putting the last pile of tiles in place, Lin Xiaohan tied the tiles to the cart with hemp ropes to prevent the tiles from falling to the ground when the cart was bumpy during the journey.

After tying the hemp rope, the two men led the donkey cart away from the kiln factory.

The chimney of the kiln factory became thinner and thinner behind me. When I walked under the shade of the trees, a cool breeze brushed my face. In early summer, I took off my hat and fanned my face.

After fanning herself twice, she held the straw hat to Lin Xiaohan's face and fanned him twice.

After fanning him, she took back her straw hat and asked him with a smile, "Are you feeling cool?"

Lin Xiaohan said bluntly: "Cool down a few more times."

Chuxia was not surprised by his rudeness. She raised the corner of her mouth and slapped him hard twice.

Lin Xiaohan, whose eyebrows were almost blown off: "..."

After Chuxia finished fanning him, she talked to him about business again: "We still have to pay the carpenter's wages and the wages for building the house. If you add it up, we don't have enough money left."

Lin Xiaohan said, "Go find Liang Youtian to get your work points after school in the evening."

Chu Xia nodded, "Okay, let's each pay 25 yuan, that will definitely be enough."

That being said, after school in the evening, Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan went to the brigade headquarters to find Liang Youtian.

After Liang Youtian learned the purpose of their visit, he was decisive and straightforward and gave them the money directly.

The advance payment of this money to them is, firstly, to support their teaching work, and secondly, they will have a surplus of work points by the end of the year, so there is no problem in paying them in advance.

Liang Youtian agreed, and Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan took the money from Qin Xue.

Qin Xue did the accounting, handed the money to them, and suddenly asked them: "Last Sunday there was a market, didn't you go to the market to set up a stall?"

I went to the sawmill to buy wood that morning, and went to find the carpenter in the afternoon, but I really didn't go.

Chuxia explained to Qin Xue, who nodded.

After a moment, he continued, "You are busy with school work, and sometimes you never know what will happen on Sundays. So I thought, why don't you bring two more people with you when you set up a stall in the future and let them learn from you. After they have learned well, when you don't have time on Sundays, you can let these two people go, okay?"

Hearing this, Chu Xia thought about it silently.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qin Xue looked at her and said, "Look at this noodle. The essence is in the sauce. Isn't the sauce already prepared in advance? Just learn how to fry the sauce and cook the noodles at the market, and it will be almost the same. With pork and ready-made sauce, the taste won't be much different if someone else makes it."

What he said makes a lot of sense.

As long as you have the sauce and know how to fry the sauce and cook the noodles, it won't be a problem to replace her at the stall.

This is the brigade's business, and it would be unreasonable to refuse.

Chu Xia thought about it again and said, "Last time during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Xiaoyan went with us to work for a day. How about I bring her with me next time?"

Wang Xiaoyan is an honest and down-to-earth girl. Qin Xue thought it was an okay idea and nodded in agreement.

As for the second person, Chu Xia thought for a while and said hesitantly, "Another candidate... I want to take that person... Li Xisheng... Do you think it's okay?"

When Qin Xue heard Li Xisheng's name, he did not nod immediately.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned to Liang Youtian and asked, "Captain Liang, can we let Xisheng go with us?"

Liang Youtian also thought about it for a while.

Li Xisheng has never made any mistakes as a person, he just has problems in his family.

But having a bad family background has nothing to do with helping the production team work.

If you are lazy and don't want to help the production team and don't want to participate in labor, then there is a problem.

Setting up a stall at the market was the same as doing other work in the production team.

Since the noodle stall is now operational, if we find two more people to run the stall when Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan are busy, we naturally won't share the profits directly.

Just like doing other things, fixed work points are recorded every day.

So Liang Youtian said, "If you think he can do it, then take him. But you all know his family. This kid has never been out since he was young, so he may not be able to do this."

Chu Xia looked at Liang Youtian and said, "Then I'll take him to try first and see how well he can do. If he can't do it, then I'll replace him with someone else. Do you think that's okay?"

Liang Youtian had no objection: "Okay, then you can take them two and give it a try first. It's also good to let more young people go to the commune to see the world."

Chu Xia smiled and responded: "Thank you, Captain Liang, and thank you, Accountant Qin."

After receiving the advance on work points and agreeing to teach Wang Xiaoyan and Li Xisheng how to set up a stall, Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan stopped bothering Liang Youtian and Qin Xue.

The two men came out of the brigade headquarters and saw that it was not yet dark, so they did not go directly back to the educated youth site.

The old master and the workers were still working, so Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan went back to the side of the school and watched them work for a while.

After a day, the earth wall had risen to half a person's height.

Lin Xiaohan asked the master craftsman who was working, "Master, can we save these adobes and tiles?"

The old master estimated and said, "It looks like there is enough. There should be some left over."

Lin Xiaohan then said, "If there are any left, I'd like to trouble you to build two chicken pens next to each other for us."

The master replied: "These are all small matters, no problem."

The chicken coop that Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan built at the educated youth camp was barely supported by branches and bamboo poles.

The roof is naturally not covered with tiles, but with corn stalks and straw.

Every time it rains, if it rains heavily, rainwater will leak in and soak the chicken coop.

If we had adobe tiles, it would be more comfortable to live in.

Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan watched the masters working, and would lend a hand whenever they could, without caring about doing anything themselves until they were paid.

When it got dark and the workers could no longer be seen working, the master took them home.

Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan didn't have time to arrange to invite them back to the educated youth center for dinner, so they naturally gave them some cigarettes and said some polite words to thank them for their hard work.

The old master took the cigarette and left with the workers. Then Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan returned to the educated youth center.

When they returned to the educated youth point as it was getting dark, Gu Yuzhu and the other seven people had also returned.

Knowing that they were exhausted and hungry after a day's work and wanted to eat, wash up and lie down to rest early, Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan did not compete with them for the kitchen and let them cook first.

Su Yun couldn't snatch it from Hu Yang and Li Qiao even if she wanted to, so she didn't try to grab it. She just stayed in the dormitory to rest for a while, and then went to eat when Hu Yang and Li Qiao came.

There were no lights on in the dormitory, and only the outlines of people could be seen in the dim light.

Chuxia sat on the bed to rest, while Su Yun sat at the table, resting her chin with one hand and staring out the window in a daze.

Although they were both isolated people, Chu Xia and Su Yun did not feel any sympathy for each other. Naturally, they treated each other as air and did not talk to each other.

But when Chu Xia was sitting there, she unconsciously glanced at Su Yun.

She looked at Su Yun's back and recalled the days she spent in the countryside in the novel.

In the novel, she is the epitome of all brilliance, and she has almost all the benefits. She is respected as a teacher, has a salary that allows her to have enough food and drink, and can help others. The villagers in the village politely call her Teacher Su, and other people in the educated youth center also flatter her.

There is also Han Ting, who is supported by people around him and gives her love and romance.

Although life in the countryside is generally hard.

But compared to others, she has everything she wants.

In the end, even the indicator of returning to the city fell on her head through Han Ting's hands.

But now, her situation is completely different from that in the novel.

Without the support of the supporting actress behind her, she couldn't even lead an ordinary life, let alone the dazzling life described in novels.

I don’t know whether she and Han Ting can survive this disaster with the power of love.

If they can get through it, their feelings would be more sincere and profound than in the novel, and they would be more likely to become the lifelong love of each other.

When Han Ting failed to get Chu Xia to give up her teacher position to Su Yun, Chu Xia actually thought about whether this would become an obstacle to the development of their relationship.

But later it was proved that the fact that Su Yun did not become a teacher not only did not become an obstacle between them, but on the contrary made their relationship heat up faster than in the novel.

It can be seen from this that her departure from the original plot may lead to changes in other things, but it should not have a negative effect on the development of the relationship between Han Ting and Su Yun.

This setback and difficulty may once again promote the development of their relationship.

After all, the main plot of this countryside stage in the novel is that the hero and heroine stay with each other, love each other, depend on each other, comfort each other, and warm each other, truly tasting the sincerity and depth of love.

When Chu Xia thought of this, Su Yun suddenly stood up from the table.

Watching Su Yun leave the dormitory and go to the kitchen, Chu Xia came back to her senses and thought to herself, who cares what will happen to them, it would be best to wish them to be able to escape the plot in novels and be together for the rest of their lives.

In this way, you will not have to harm others again.

If they still can't escape the fate set in the novel in the end, she will not pick up Han Ting, this piece of trash. She must get rid of the fate set for her in the novel.

After sitting and thinking for a while, Chu Xia stood up, walked out of the dormitory, called Lin Xiaohan from the opposite side, and went to the kitchen with him to cook dinner.

She and Lin Xiaohan are now semi-partners.

Because she promised to cook for Lin Xiaohan, they cooked and ate together, but the grains and dishes were clearly divided. Either they each ate their own, or you gave me half and I gave you half.

Chuxia strictly abides by the rules and takes the initiative to make things clear every time.

The educated youth site was still deserted that night.

Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan didn't say much. They finished their meal quietly, cleaned up the dishes, and like everyone else, went back to the dormitory, washed up, and went to bed early.

For the next two days, apart from working and attending classes, they spent the rest of their time building the house.

Of course, the main work is done by the master and the workers. They just do some chores within their ability and check whether the house is built according to their ideas.

The masters and workers work very hard and never leave until dark every day.

It only took two more days to build two dormitories and a kitchen with a sloped roof next to the dormitories, and also built two small chicken pens outside.

There were limited adobe bricks and tiles, so of course all that was built were two small sheds next to each other, for the chickens to sleep and lay eggs.

If you still want a yard wall and a chicken coop fence, you can get some bamboo and build the fence yourself when you have nothing to do after work.

After the last day of work, Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan paid the master craftsman his wages.

Because I couldn't spare the time to treat them to a meal, I had to say some embarrassing things to them.

In the deep twilight, Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the master and the workers walk away.

Then she withdrew her gaze, turned around and looked at the completed house, and said happily: "I will move in after the house is dry in a few days. It will be like having my own home here."

They built the house with their own money.

She and Lin Xiaohan paid for their room equally, each with their own dormitory and a shared kitchen.

From now on, she can live in a room by herself. Everything in the room belongs to her, and she built the room with her own money. She can treat it as her own home without being disturbed by others and can do whatever she wants.

Just thinking about it makes me feel very comfortable.

If it weren't for the situation, who would be willing to live in the same room with so many people with whom they have a bad relationship? No one would be willing to queue up with them to use the kitchen and eat in the same room.
