After dinner, Lu Wensheng carried a pot of water back to the newly built house. It was not completely dark yet. With the last ray of light in the sky, Lu Wensheng looked around his small yard.
The courtyard wall and woodshed are made of mud bricks, just like most houses in the village, and are built low. If you are tall enough, you can see the whole courtyard from the outside.
There is a red brick path from the main entrance to the main hall. This was Lu Wensheng's own request, mainly because she was afraid that it would be too crowded to walk in the yard on rainy days.
There is a similar line from the main room to the woodshed, which makes the yard look cleaner.
She thought that when she had some free time in a few days, she would ask Aunt Li for some easy-to-grow vegetable seeds to plant and try to make the most of the open space in the yard.
Walking along the red brick road, you will reach the entrance of the main hall. The door was also made by Carpenter Li. The two thick door panels look particularly solid:
"I have to ask for leave tomorrow afternoon to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things."
The first thing to be affected is the lock. You should buy two, one to lock the main door and the other to lock the front door.
On the right side of the main room is an earthen stove, which is connected to the kang and fire wall in the room. Water can be boiled and cooking can be done on the stove.
There is also a small stove on the left side that is not connected to the kang, which is perfect for use in summer.
Further in was a cupboard used to store kitchen supplies such as bowls and dishes. There was a door on the east wall leading to the inner room. On the south side, near the window, there was a kang, on which was placed a kang table and her bedding. There was a desk against the wall. Further north was the wardrobe and her large wooden box.
The walls were covered with newspapers, which looked quite old. The overall layout was a bit like the house she saw when she went to the Red Sorghum film and television base in her previous life, except that there was no west room (the house built to the west was that of Han Muchen and Lu Hao)
Lu Wensheng liked it very much. After putting the kettle on the desk, he started to pack his things.
Although Shen Lingling moved her things over, she did not move her box. The curtains that she had hung at the educated youth center were now folded neatly and placed on the kang.
Lu Wensheng planned to hang it up as a curtain, otherwise she would feel insecure...
The courtyard wall was originally low, and at night, when the kerosene lamp was lit, one could see clearly outside.
He did what he said. First, he put all the clothes in the box into the closet, and then he moved a few books out of the space and placed them on the desk.
All the daily necessities that were originally piled up in boxes were sorted and arranged, and the things that could be used in the space were taken out. She even found a mirror that she had used before in the pile of miscellaneous items.
After cleaning up, Lu Wensheng looked at the house with great satisfaction. She finally had her own home in this strange world...
She had originally planned to go into the space to collect food tonight, but when she thought about having to get up early tomorrow, she resigned herself to going into the space to wash up and go to bed.
She suddenly realized that there was no place to get water in the newly built house. She had to go to the educated youth camp to fetch water every day, and she had to buy a water tank.
"Okay, you have to take a day off tomorrow afternoon!"
It was too hot outside, so she just slept in the space.
I don't know how long I slept. I heard a rooster crowing in a daze. Lu Wensheng opened his eyes and looked at his watch: "No, brother, it's only four o'clock, why are you yelling!"
Just as Lu Wensheng was about to continue sleeping, he remembered that they had to gather at the threshing ground at 4:30...
Well! She is a worker now. Even after traveling through time, she still has to be a social animal. When will this life end?
Perhaps it was because of the abundant spiritual energy in the space, Lu Wensheng felt refreshed after a good sleep. He left the space after washing up. As soon as he came out, he heard a knock on the door:
"Sister Lu, Sister Lu...it's time to eat!"
Lu Wensheng quickly came out of the house with a flashlight and shouted, "I'm here, why are you here so early?"
Ma Yingjie, with his messy hair, said, "It's still early. We'll have to gather in twenty minutes, even though I was just called up by Brother Chen."
Lu Wensheng closed the door and followed him to the Youth League Center. He saw a torch burning near the west wing in the yard of the Youth League Center. Han Muchen and Shen Lingling were busy in the kitchen.
"What to eat?"
Seeing that it was Lu Wensheng who came, Shen Lingling smiled and said, "Drink porridge and eat peach cakes. How did you sleep last night?"
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Yeah, it's good."
When Lu Wensheng heard that they were going to have sweets this morning, he went home and brought back a can of malted milk, and added a spoonful to everyone's porridge: "This way, we'll be full."
Everyone was not polite and ate the peach cakes with porridge mixed with malted milk.
Lu Wensheng asked: "Where is the peach cake from?"
Shen Lingling replied: "It belongs to Han Zhiqing."
"oh."
After dinner, everyone gathered at the threshing ground, while Shen Lingling went back to take a nap.
When Lu Wensheng and the others left, the old educated youth had just gotten up. The three of them got up late and had no time to cook, so they went to the threshing ground on an empty stomach.
Zhang Zhiping had a gloomy face. The new educated youth got up so early but didn't even call them. As a result, he didn't even have breakfast! Of course, he only dared to think about it in his mind.
When everyone arrived at the threshing ground, they saw that almost all the villagers had arrived, and there were torches everywhere. The village chief shouted in front:
"Today we are going to the public office to collect grain. Now everyone should go to the granary to move the grain out and load it onto trucks. First load it onto the tractor, then harness the three ox carts in the village and pull them over. The rest will be loaded onto the carts.
Young and strong men should pick up some more poles and carry more. No matter what method you use, you must get to the commune before eight o'clock. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Okay, disband!"
Lu Wensheng was yawning when she saw the village chief waving at her. She quickly grabbed Lu Hao and Han Muchen's hands and rushed towards the village chief.
Ma Yingjie was puzzled: "Sister Lu, why are you pulling me?"
Lu Wensheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you want to push the cart or carry the pole?"
Ma Yingjie stopped talking immediately. He didn't want to think about anything...
Seeing that he had calmed down, Lu Wensheng continued, "With your skinny arms and legs, you should just escort the car for me!"
Ma Yingjie nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, Sister Lu is right."
When the three of them came to the village chief, they heard him say, "After loading the grain, you can drive the tractor away immediately. There are more than one team delivering grain today. You can go to the gate of the commune and line up first. We will be there soon."
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Don't worry, Village Chief, I will definitely go there early."
Village Chief Li was worried: "You don't understand. Let me tell you. Captain Liu of Qingshan Brigade is eager to go to the commune in the middle of the night, so don't take it lightly. We will leave after we finish the installation!"
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Okay, I get it. Their brigade is far from the commune and they don't have tractors, so they will definitely not be able to catch up with us."
Village Chief Li rolled his eyes and said, "Erzhuzi has never beaten them in any year. This year we are half an hour earlier than in previous years. I won't listen to you and won't be able to take first place!"
Lu Wensheng was speechless. Why did he have to be the first?
Li Xiangyang: What are you talking about? You can't even grab a tractor from someone else. Isn't that embarrassing?
"Village chief, the tractor has been loaded. Shall we go?" the team leader shouted at the side.
"Go, go, go, hurry up, Xiaolu. Whether your uncle can hold his head high in front of Old Liu this year depends entirely on you!"
