Chapter 30 I think I smell meat!

The cabinets I bought were all ready-made, and someone delivered them to me shortly afterward.

"Zhou Zhiqing, your cabinets have been delivered."

It was Old Zhang's voice coming from outside the door.

"They're here!"

Zhou responded with a sound of agreement.

Upon opening the door, a man who was about 1.85 meters tall with dark skin came into view, holding the handle of a cart.

Are these Old Zhang's family members?

With a creak, Bai Xue from next door opened her door as well.

Old Zhang said with a smile, "Zhou Zhiqing, the cabinets are all here. Shall we help you move them in now?"

Zhou nodded and pointed: "Divide it into two parts and move them into these two rooms!"

Old Zhang laughed and said, "Alright! Jianshe, you move into this room first."

Xie Jianshe said in a deep voice, "Okay!"

Passing by Zhou Ye: "Excuse me!"

Zhou also stepped aside to make room and told people from the outside where to put it.

Xie Jianshe was very strong and finished moving everything quickly.

Old Zhang watched Xie Jianshe move from outside and sighed to Zhou Ye, "I, Old Zhang, have lost my son. My wife and I are all alone. If it weren't for the village chief's son taking care of me, I would have starved to death long ago!"

Zhou Ye: Is Xie Jianshe the village chief's son?

“Jianshe used to be a soldier, but he was injured and retired. If you look closely, his legs are not quite right.”

He's just a good kid!

Zhou Ye pursed her lips: "I can't tell!"

"Yes, you can't tell at all! Thank you so much, Grandpa Zhang!" Bai Xue said sweetly.

Old Zhang waved his hand and left after Xie Jianshe came out.

Outside the door, Xie Jianshe looked back and only saw Zhou Ye's back as he went out to fetch water.

Old Zhang chuckled when he saw it: "You little rascal, you've got your eye on her?"

Xie Jianshe smiled wryly: "With my legs like this, I won't bother anyone else!"

After saying that, he pushed the cart and continued walking towards Old Zhang's house.

Old Zhang chuckled and said, "What are you saying? You're a hero. If I had a girl, I would marry you without hesitation!"

But I think that child is still too young. If you really like him, you'll have to wait!

Xie Jianshe shook his head and didn't say anything.

Zhou Ye carried the water in, but before he could even touch it, Bai Xue rushed in.

"Oh dear, Sister Zhou, I told you not to do these chores anymore, why are you starting again?"

Listen to me, go lie down on the bed!

"This is the time when they're growing, they need to rest."

Bai Xue forcefully pushed Zhou Ye onto the bed and even took off his shoes.

Zhou looked at Bai Xue speechlessly: "If you do this, people will misunderstand! Besides, you can also help me earn work points?"

"Sure! All my work points are yours!" Bai Xue said confidently.

This time it won't be Zhou's turn either!

After tidying up Zhou Ye's side, Bai Xue went to tidy up her side!

Suddenly, a noisy commotion came from outside the door.

"Over here, over here, be careful!"

"Slow down, slow down..."

Looking out the window, Zhou saw several people carrying a chair, and it seemed that someone was sitting on it.

"Cough cough cough..."

The educated youth from the front yard all ran over, watching the newcomer as if it were a spectacle.

"Village chief, cough cough... thank you all!"

A weak voice caught Zhou Ye's attention!

Zhou went out, and the people outside noticed her. A middle-aged man spoke first: "You're a new educated youth, right? Hehe... I'm the village chief, Xie Youfu. I had something to do today, so I didn't come to pick you up in person."

Please bear with me!

"You're too kind!" Zhou replied.

Seeing Zhou Ye looking at the person in the chair with a puzzled expression, Xie Youfu said, "This is Su Yunzhou, also an educated youth, who arrived earlier than you."

My health isn't very good, I hope you can take care of each other!

Bai Xue muttered under her breath: "If he's not in good health, how can we take care of each other... We should take care of him."

But Snow White soon found out how they took care of each other.

Su Yunzhou slowly got off the chair, smiled and said goodbye to the village chief and the others. After they left, he said softly, "Hello, I'm Su Yunzhou! I just got back from the hospital and have been here for a few months. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to me!"

I should... cough cough...

I'm considerably older than you all, you can call me Brother Su!

“Okay, Brother Su!” Zhou replied softly as well.

This person is different; the village chief's attitude towards him is clearly different. Therefore, building a good relationship with him is also crucial.

After a flurry of activity, it's almost noon!

Bai Xue looked at the meager amount of food and asked worriedly, "Sister Zhou, what are we going to eat?"

Zhou thought for a moment, then took out two sausages, five kilograms of rice, and some vegetables from the kitchen cabinet.

Potatoes, eggplants, scallions, onions, and carrots are all good to add.

He also took out a portion of condiments and handed it to Bai Xue: "This is what I brought with me. You can keep it here!"

Bai Xue's mouth dropped open: "This... you can bring this too?"

However, the hand movements are fast!

Zhou had a lot of things to pack, so he was still slowly tidying up inside. Soon, the aroma of food wafted from Bai Xue's place.

The educated youth returning on the way sniffed.

"Why does it smell like meat?" one of the educated youth said, taking a deep breath.

"You're overthinking it. These days, who can afford meat? We can't even get enough rice to eat."

"Hmm, maybe it's just my imagination. Brother Su is still in the hospital; he's the only one in our educated youth settlement who can afford meat!"

As I approached the door, the aroma grew even stronger!

"It really is coming from our courtyard! My God, I can smell sausage!" The educated youth, who had been too weak to walk, suddenly perked up.

They were veteran educated youth, the earliest of whom had been there for half a year. They originally thought that once they arrived in the countryside, they would definitely be able to eat their fill.

They were also close to the mountains, and could occasionally hunt some wild game, but their hopes slowly turned into luxuries, and luxuries into disappointments.

It's been half a year, and apart from the meal we had when Brother Su came, we haven't had any other good food!

I'm so hungry!

Could they be newly arrived educated youth?

The six educated youths arrived in the courtyard, greedily inhaling the aroma, and hurried to the kitchen, only to find four busy figures.

The flavor has actually become bland?

"Wasn't this meat made by you?"

Yang Shulin, a rather cheerful person, asked with a puzzled expression.

Chen Lan gestured with her chin towards the backyard: "Behind!"

Yang Shulin glanced at it and immediately understood: another big spender had arrived!

"Hello, I'm Yang Shulin!"

After that, everyone introduced themselves one by one!

Afterwards, Huang Ying frowned and said, "They are all new educated youth. Shouldn't we all eat together on the first day?"

Why make things special?

Is it something to be proud of to eat meat all by yourself?

Yang Shulin frowned: "Alright, that's enough. Meat is so expensive these days, it's perfectly reasonable for you to eat it yourself!"

Besides, they're new here and don't know our rules!

Seeing Chen Lan and the others' confusion, Yang Shulin kindly explained, "We didn't come in the same batch. Every time a new educated youth arrives, they contribute some food, and we all eat together at the same table."

Consider this a welcome dinner to wash away the dust of travel!

Chen Lan and the others nodded, indicating that they understood.

However, Yang Shulin hesitated this time. The backyard had meat on the first day, which showed that the conditions were good. If he went directly to ask, would people suspect that he was trying to freeload?

Huang Ying could tell what Yang Shulin was thinking just by looking at his expression.

"You don't need to go this time, I'll go. I want to see who's so shameless as to try and eat all the food on the first day!"

Huang Ying walked towards the backyard with a sour expression...
