In exchange, we boys will provide the firewood for cooking and boiling water, how about that?

Meeting Ye Guo's meaningful gaze, Wenrou swallowed the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue and nodded in agreement:

"I think Comrade Ye's suggestion is excellent. Washing clothes is a girl's strength, while chopping wood is a boy's strength. If we divide the work and cooperate, the efficiency will be doubled."

"Then I, on behalf of the female educated youth, agree!"

Inside the room, Mu Xia, who was doing squats, felt nauseous from the conversation outside and started vomiting. She wiped away her sweat with a towel.

"Everything here is so disgusting, I can't stay here for another day."

Ruan Xianxian had a mouthful of strong liquor in her mouth, propped herself up on her kang (heated brick bed), and plopped down on the bed.

Hearing this, she didn't seem to care much, saying, "It's none of our business if she's eager to be someone else's maid."

With a hidden meaning, he added, "I hope they won't regret it!"

After clearing away the dishes, Wenrou came in and told them about the new notice regarding laundry, something like, "For the first month, all the dirty laundry will be the responsibility of the two of them."

Neither of them responded; she continued talking to herself.

"Starting tomorrow, remember to come home early after work. And Comrade Ruan, it's your turn to cook tomorrow."

Ruan Xianxian: "Do you guys eat spicy food?"

Mu Xia: "Eat!"

Chen Zhaodi: "I can't live without spicy food!"

Wenrou frowned gently. "We don't eat spicy food where I'm from, it's too bad for your health. Does Xiaoruan like spicy food? Then you can make a cucumber and green pepper salad tomorrow."

The green peppers were just planted this season and haven't ripened yet.

Ruan Xianxian: "I have a brilliant plan. Try my mother's cooking tomorrow."

Just after eight o'clock, the dormitory oil lamp went out, and Liu Xiatian, lying next to Ruan Xianxian, gloated and mocked:

"Some people! After all that fuss, they're back to square one, still sleeping on the roof and dancing around. Is it because they don't want to sleep on the roof that they don't want to?"

After saying that, she heard Ruan Xianxian's breathing become heavier, clearly unhappy. Satisfied, she wrapped herself in the blanket and went to sleep, not believing that Ruan Xianxian could come up with any more tricks...
