The old man looked up and said, "These two girls are really good at shopping. In the past, people who came to buy furniture would at most buy a big box. Since every room had a kang, no one would buy a bed."

Since you bought more, I'll give you a discount. I'll give you the change: "The bed was originally 8.7 yuan, so just give 8 yuan. The table is 3 yuan, the big box is 2 yuan, the wardrobe is 5 yuan, the stool is 1 yuan, and the cabinet and shelf for the dishes are 4 yuan. The total is 24 yuan. No tickets are needed."

"Thank you, uncle." Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

"My name is Liu Gui, you can just call me Uncle Gui. It was my mother who just opened the door for you. But doesn't the room have a kang (kang)? Why do you need a bed?"

"Because the house and the kitchen are connected, the kang becomes too hot to sleep on when I cook in the kitchen. It's okay in the winter, but it's too hot in the summer, so I thought of buying a bed."

"Oh, yes. You two bought so much. I'll send it to you when my sons and his friends get off work. Are you living in the educated youth camp?"

"Thank you, Uncle Gui. We've rented the yard next to the cowshed and are living there now. Just help me get it there."

"That house is good. Okay, you two can go back first. We'll send it over to you after dinner."

"Okay, Uncle Gui, we'll leave first." After saying that, Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong turned around and left.

After going back to get some things, the two of them headed towards the educated youth site. It was already past five or six o'clock, and by the time they got there, they would probably have finished work.

Zhang Sitong only had hot sauce left, so she took a bottle of hot sauce. Su Ruoli pretended to take out a piece of bacon from the package, but actually took it out from the space, which weighed about two pounds.

The two of them took their things and walked towards the educated youth site. It took them more than ten minutes to walk to their destination, which was a five-minute tractor ride.

Before I even arrived at the educated youth work site, I heard a bell. I guess it was the bell for the end of work.

When they arrived at the educated youth site, they found that Li Xiaoning and the others had already put their luggage away and were sitting in the yard. Seeing Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong, Wang Yanfen became sarcastic again.

"Hey! The young ladies are here. The educated youth camp is no longer able to accommodate you."

"I'm asking you if you're sick. Then you should move out and Ruoli and I will move back." Zhang Sitong became annoyed when she heard Wang Yanfen talking and couldn't help but retort.

"Why do you want me to move out? Who do you think you are?" Wang Yanfen got furious when she heard that she was asked to move out.

Su Ruoli was also annoyed with Wang Yanfen, who was always looking for trouble. "If you don't move out, where are we going to live? The educated youth camp is so small, it would be very crowded for the two of you to live in one place."

Because when Liu Guofeng was waiting for them at the train station, he told them the general situation of the educated youth center, so she knew that the female educated youth dormitory could only accommodate one person.

There were four female educated youth and three male educated youth who came with them.

Female educated youth: Su Ruoli, Zhang Sitong, Zhu Ping, and Wang Yanfen.

Zhu Ping was like a transparent person, doing whatever others did, but she didn't say much. From the beginning till now, she had only said one or two sentences.

Most of the time, Wang Yanfen was the one looking for trouble.

Male educated youth: Li Xiaoning, Wang Yuze, and Huang Deren.

Huang Deren and Wang Yanfen are together. Every time Wang Yanfen makes trouble, he is the one who stands up and apologizes. No one knows what their relationship is.

Huang Deren saw that they were about to quarrel again, so he stood up and said, "Yanfen, could you please stop talking? If you want to live outside, just rent a house by yourself."

Wang Yanfen instantly exploded, "Huang Deren, we are an engaged couple, how can you take sides with someone else?"

A single word like "wow" cannot describe the current mood of Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong. What did Huang Deren say? That sentence was in their favor. This guy is really good at making things up.

Suddenly, a man with sallow skin and a thin figure walked out of the room. He looked difficult to get along with. The girl said, "What are you guys arguing about? It's just your first day here. Are you annoying?"

Then he looked at Su Ruoli and said, "Are you two also new educated youth? I just heard that you two rented a house outside. I thought it was just two female educated youth."

"Since you two are here, we don't have to send someone to call you. Today is your first day as new educated youth, so all the educated youth will come back for dinner and welcome you."

"Wow, there's a welcome party." Zhang Sitong said in surprise. She originally thought that she just came to say hello, but she didn't expect there would be a welcome party.

"Yes, this is the rule. This happens every time new educated youth come." The girl explained to them again.

Su Ruoli quickly handed over what she had in her hand, "That's perfect, I got some bacon to add to the dishes for everyone."

Zhang Sitong also quickly handed over the hot sauce.

When the girl saw the meat, her face immediately broke into a smile. God knows how long it had been since she had eaten meat. She had been there for three years and had only eaten a few pieces of meat, and that was only when the village slaughtered the New Year pig.

"Wow, so much." He took the meat, turned it around and looked at it, then walked towards the kitchen.

Su Ruoli also went over to help, "Hello comrade, is there anything I can do? If we all help together, we can get it done faster."

"My name is Qi Yindi. I've been here for three years. Just call me by my name. Don't call me 'comrade'. It sounds weird."

"Okay, my name is Su Ruoli. Is there anything I can do?"

Qi Yindi pointed to the bag in the corner and said, "That bag contains potatoes. You can peel the potatoes. If there are many people, peel about ten."

Su Ruoli counted out ten potatoes from the bag and sat on the small stool under the stove to start peeling them. She used to cook every day, so her movements were very quick and she finished peeling in a short while.

Zhang Sitong also ran into the kitchen, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Su Ruoli looked at Zhang Sitong's plump white hands and said, "Have you ever cooked?"

"No, my dad cooks at home. Let me tell you, my dad's cooking is delicious."

"Your dad is so nice, but you'd better wait outside now." After all, it's someone else's food, so don't let this kid waste it.

Huang Deren saw Su Ruoli enter the kitchen and said, "Why don't you go in and help out? We can do it together and hurry up."

"I'm not going in. It's enough if someone else helps. Why should I go in to help?" After saying that, he turned around and went back to the room.

Huang Deren was also speechless. How come this person doesn't know how to win people's favor?

But Zhu Ping did come in to help! Several people divided the work and cooperated. The one who cooked the pancakes also made a pot of wild vegetable soup. They were busy in full swing, and the meal was ready in a short while.

The old educated youth also came back, and several of them brought the meal to the table outside. It was called a table, but it was actually just a pile of mud at the bottom with a wooden board on top.

After all the educated youth arrived, they began to eat. Three full pots of food, a large pot of pancakes, and a pot of soup were all eaten up. Su Ruoli only ate one pancake and drank some soup.
