Ke Xiaoli and Du Wenli finished work and returned to the educated youth site at about the same time.
As soon as she entered the main room, she heard heavy snoring coming from the room where Fan Huifang had lived before, and she couldn't help but walk to the door to take a look.
She saw a girl lying on the bed with a rough sleeping posture. She looked about the same age as her and had a round face. Her mouth was half open and she was sleeping as soundly as a pig.
She thought the girl was quite funny and couldn't help but smile while covering her mouth.
Then he walked quietly to Shen Xiaobei's door, knocked on her door and said, "Sister Xiaobei, I'm back!"
Shen Xiaobei was cutting fabric. When he heard the sound, he calmly put the things into the space, then opened the door and walked out.
"Xiao Li is back."
"Sister Xiaobei, have the two new educated youth arrived?"
"Well, look, one of them is sleeping like a pig, and the other one might have gone to Kong Wanwan's place. Both of them are women. Haha, our educated youth camp has really become a country of women now!"
"It's great to become a daughter country, but, Sister Xiaobei, how are we going to eat with them from now on? Do we all eat together?"
"I don't care. Anyway, I have to go to work at the commune, and I will only eat here at night. It's mainly you. Do you want to eat together or separately? This time, Sister Xiaobei will take your opinion as the main consideration!"
"Me? I actually thought about this question before I went to bed last night. How about we all eat together?"
"Look, Sister Xiaobei, you can't eat with me in the morning and at noon. I actually find it boring to eat alone every day. Eating with them will help me feel better when there are more people around."
"Okay, whatever you say. But if we eat with them, we have to be upfront with them and set the rules for them. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll suffer."
"Well, I'll listen to Sister Xiaobei on this. You set the rules for them!"
"Haha, okay, when that educated young man Mu comes back, I'll explain the rules to them."
Shen Xiaobei chatted with Ke Xiaoli for a while, and then Mu Fangting came back from next door. The three of them exchanged a few polite words, and then Shen Xiaobei walked into Shen Mingzhu's room.
Seeing that she was still sleeping so soundly, he asked loudly, "Shen Mingzhu, do you still want to eat? Shen Mingzhu!"
"It's so noisy! I won't even be able to sleep!"
"Okay, since this educated young woman Shen can still speak, let's just assume she can hear."
"Mu Zhiqing, you've just arrived, so Xiaoli and I would like to discuss with you and the person lying on the bed how to cook and divide the housework from now on, so that we don't have conflicts over such trivial matters every day."
"What Shen Zhiqing said is right. Since we live in the same house, it is better to discuss these things first. Shen Zhiqing, tell me how to divide it up? I'm listening!"
"Okay, then I'll tell you!"
Shen Xiaobei then talked to Mu Fangting about the housework distribution rules that Kong Wanwan and Du Wenli had established before they got married.
The main tasks are fetching water and cooking, so the four of them are divided into two groups.
However, Shen Xiaobei had to go to work at the commune on weekdays, and for breakfast she would either secretly eat the food stored in the space on the way, or buy two buns from Fan Huifang's breakfast stall to eat for breakfast in order to chat with her.
Lunch was also eaten in the commune, so she only participated in the housework of cooking on weekends and dinner.
Other things like cleaning the main room and the yard, and watering and weeding the vegetables in the garden are all small, effortless tasks. Everyone can do them as they please, and there are no fixed requirements.
Mu Fangting thought her allocation was quite reasonable and expressed her approval on the spot.
However, Shen Xiaobei then saw the five hens walking around at the door, waiting for her to feed them, and immediately thought of something else.
Then he added to Mu Fangting, "By the way, those five hens were bought with my own money. They are not public assets of our educated youth site."
"You and the one lying on the bed don't need to take care of them normally. I can feed them and drive them to the chicken coop myself. If I'm not here, I'll let Xiaoli help take care of them for me."
"These five hens can lay about five to six eggs every day. I will take out two eggs every day as our dishes. Don't worry about the other eggs. I will collect them myself every day."
“Oh, okay, I remember it, Shen Zhiqing!”
Hearing Shen Xiaobei specifically mention the five hens and eggs at the door, Mu Fangting felt a little uncomfortable.
I think Shen Xiaobei is quite fussy and can clearly distinguish everything.
In fact, before the two of them came, Shen Xiaobei and Ke Xiaoli lived here together, so they didn’t make such a clear distinction!
As for eggs, the two of them could eat however they wanted, as many as they wanted in a day. She never restricted Ke Xiaoli.
He never specifically told her that the hen and eggs were her personal property and asked her not to touch them.
Shen Xiaobei's calculations and precautions are mainly directed at Shen Mingzhu.
She knew very well who Shen Mingzhu was.
If you are nice to her, she will take it for granted. If you are too nice to her, she will think you are trying to please her and will not know how to cherish and be grateful.
So, why give her so many eggs every day for nothing?
Let her suffer some hardships and experience the warmth and coldness of human nature, then she will grow!
After telling Mu Fangting about the hens and eggs, Shen Xiaobei turned his back and whispered to Ke Xiaoli, "Eggs, you can still eat as much as you want every day as before. You don't need to report to me."
"However, if you want to eat alone, it's best to do it behind their backs so they don't see you!"
