Chapter 41: Using Water to Create Trouble
Lin He curled his lips.
The four of them thought that there were too many things and it would be inconvenient to carry them into the supply and marketing cooperative, so they put the things down.
Let Song Yue help look after it.
"Song Zhiqing, please help us look after the things here. We will leave as soon as we buy them."
"..." Song Yue took a breath, "Okay."
Lin He, Li Xinyue and Zhao Zirui went in to buy basins.
Liu Wei didn't want to buy anything, but she followed him in.
The three of them were heading towards their goal, from entering the supply and marketing cooperative to carrying things out of the cooperative.
It only took a few minutes.
Carry your own things.
Go to the ox cart.
When you go.
The four old ladies from the morning were already waiting there, chatting.
The old man was squatting under the tree next to him.
Song Yue and four other people went over, four of them holding large basins, and others carrying large and small bags of things.
As soon as it passes.
The four old ladies were stunned.
Song Yue and four others got into the car with their things.
When the old man saw that everyone was there, he came over and drove back to the village.
On the way back to the village.
The four aunts spoke one by one, and then it began.
"Our dear mother!"
"The big aluminum basin you bought?"
"How much is one?"
Song Yue and the other three remained silent.
Liu Wei smiled and said, "Bring your tickets. They're fifteen yuan each."
That look...
It seems that the basin was bought by her.
Song Yue looked into the distance, oblivious to what was happening around her.
Zhao Zirui and Lin He were both unhappy with Liu Wei.
Liu Wei told the price even though she didn't buy the basin. These aunts are gossipy to begin with, and who knows what they're going to say next.
Li Xinyue didn't feel anything and just looked at Liu Wei with a smile.
When the four aunts heard that this pot cost fifteen yuan each!
I was dumbfounded!
For four basins, that would cost several dozen yuan.
The four aunts couldn't bear it and were heartbroken, as if they had paid for it themselves.
"Oh my god, you rural educated youth are really rich! Just 15 yuan for a basin!"
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
"You're overpaying. In our village, the guy they call Uncle Chen can afford a big wooden basin like this."
"A wooden basin is only five dollars, which is ten dollars cheaper than yours."
"That's right."
"Well, they are from the city, and someone in their family works and earns several dozen yuan a month. They don't care about this little money."
"Well, that's right. Can the jobs in the group be the same as those in our village?"
"The monthly salary is several hundred yuan, and we work so hard every day... Hey... We can't compare, we can't compare."
Song Yue and the other four remained silent and let the four aunts speak.
녦As you are talking... your words have changed their tone and become sarcastic.
Song Yue just let it go in one ear and out the other, pretending she heard nothing.
Mainly because I'm a little tired and don't even want to talk.
If she wasn't tired, she would definitely spray.
Li Xinyue couldn't stand the sarcastic tone and was about to speak.
But Zhao Zirui grabbed his arm.
She turned her head and looked.
Zhao Zirui shook his head at Li Xinyue, signaling her not to speak.
Li Xinyue finally endured it.
An hour later.
Arrived in the village.
Song Yue and five other people got in a car and moved the things back to the educated youth site.
The old educated youth in the educated youth center have all gone to work, and everything is quiet.
Song Yue pulled open the latch on the door and pushed it open to enter the room.
He put his things down, sat on the kang and rested for a while, then got up to fetch some water and boil some hot water.
She wants to wash her hair and take a bath.
While Song Yue was boiling water, Lin He came over and told her not to put out the fire after she finished boiling the water.
They also need hot water, of course they have to boil the water themselves.
Song Yue responded and said, "There is not much water left in the water tank. You will probably use it up soon."
Lin He understood what he meant, "When Zhao Zirui and I are done, we'll carry the water back."
Song Yue added firewood, "Well, here's the firewood, we'll add more when the time comes."
"Okay." Lin He reminded, "Remember to call Li Xinyue and Liu Wei when the time comes. They also have to work."
"Um."
Song Yue put down the fire tongs and touched the water in the pot. "The water temperature is about right. Go in and tell them that you can get some water over there."
"good."
Lin He turned around to fetch water.
Song Yue went back and stood at the door facing the two people who were sitting on the kang and chatting.
"Comrade Li, Comrade Liu, can you come sit over here for a while?"
"The water is ready, let's take a bath."
Liu Wei and Li Xinyue looked at each other, said nothing, then got up and left the house.
There's nothing much to say about this.
They will also want to take a shower soon, so Song Yue has to let them.
Song Yue came into the room and laid the basin flat.
Get out of the house.
Bring hot water.
Two buckets of hot water.
Put the bucket outside the house.
Go inside.
Lock the door, take off your clothes and take a shower.
…
Half an hour later.
Song Yuemao opened the door with wet hair.
She took out the bath water and used it to wash clothes in the yard.
While washing clothes, Li Xinyue and Liu Wei carried water in to take a bath.
Li Xinyue washes first.
Liu Wei is the last.
Time flies.
Song Yue had just finished washing the clothes and hung them out to dry in the lesbian area...
The old educated youth came back from work.
Song Yue's heart skipped a beat. Lin He and Zhao Zirui hadn't gone to fetch water yet.
The old educated youth have to cook when they come back from work, but what can they do without water?
She glanced towards the room where Lin He and Zhao Zirui lived, and it was closed.
Jiang Xuemei greeted her, "Song Zhiqing."
Song Yue responded with a smile, "Jiang Zhiqing."
Jiang Xuemei asked, "Song Zhiqing, have you heated up the water for a bath?"
Song Yue: "Yeah."
Wu Yun asked, "Song Zhiqing, you used up the water, did you go fetch some water?"
Song Yue hasn't answered yet.
There was a clamor, "Carry water? Carry water for nothing. The water tank is empty. How can we cook without water?"
Song Yue turned her head and looked.
The female educated youth saw Zhu Jing standing in front of the water tank with an angry look on her face.
The old educated youths' eyes changed when they looked at Song Yue.
Chen Xuejun also frowned, "Song Zhiqing, what you said last night was very clear... You are new educated youth, but you can't be like this, right?"
The male educated youth from Niu Yi said in an unhappy tone, "We came back from working so hard, and you used up all the water we fetched earlier."
Jiang Xuemei said, "I think we shouldn't get too excited. Song Zhiqing didn't say he wouldn't carry water."
Zhu Jing rolled her eyes at Jiang Xuemei, filled with indignation.
"Jiang Zhiqing, you are an old educated youth. You know clearly that you should do this kind of thing on your own initiative after taking a shower, instead of being told and urged to do it by others."
Li Xinyue and Liu Wei were in the room, listening to the noise outside.
Li Xinyue was so angry that she wanted to rush out to speak, but was stopped by Liu Wei.
"Xinyue, don't worry, Song Zhiqing was so powerful last night.
She will definitely be able to solve it. You can't win her over by talking or scolding her. Wouldn't you just be asking for trouble if you go out? ”
Li Xinyue was stunned.
Zhao Zirui listened to the noise outside, glanced at Lin He who was sleeping, and chose to close his eyes and rest.
The young man named Li Tao said, "Forget it, they just came yesterday, it's okay for us to worry about it once."
"It's not far anyway."
Zhu Jing clenched her fists and said, "Li Zhiqing, we are all educated youth from our hometown. What you are doing is completely condoning them to seek special treatment!"
Song Yue looked at Zhu Jing and said, "Zhu Zhiqing, you are so angry. I suggest you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy more bitter melons to calm down."
