Zhou Songbai stood silently by the side from beginning to end, watching this farce. His cold eyes passed across the faces of the father and daughter, and he quickly lowered his eyelids.
Li Lian'er was very quiet on the way. Apart from glaring at Meng Zhiyu and the others from time to time, she didn't make any other moves.
Meng Zhiyu was sitting on a donkey cart. The sun was scorching and there was a lot of flying dust on the road. He could only squint his eyes tightly and look around.
As we got closer to the Flash Star Brigade, the buildings on the road became worse and worse, and in the end they were all low, dilapidated tile houses or mud houses.
The roads in the village are narrow and bumpy, probably caused by erosion during rainy days.
Meng Zhiyu's body swayed with the swaying of the donkey cart, and he felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
When we arrived at the village, there were not many people on the road, and we could see a few children from time to time.
The donkey cart and ox cart did not stop until they reached a yard with a low mud wall.
"This is the educated youth site. Take your luggage down and let the village chief take you in." The team leader jumped off the ox cart and said to them with a smile.
Li Lian'er looked at the others who were clearly stunned by the dilapidated yard and smiled smugly, "Didn't you hear what my father said? Why don't you get down quickly?"
No matter how rich you are, when you come here you still have to do farm work and live in a broken yard where someone has died.
"Shut up! If you don't learn to speak, you won't have dinner tonight." The captain looked at his complacent daughter and scolded her with a headache.
Meng Zhiyu yawned loudly, took down his big package and placed it at his feet.
The village chief, who had been waiting nearby, smiled and waved to them, "Come on, I'll show you around your yard."
Actually, there is not much to introduce. Apart from the accommodation rooms, one for men and one for women, one for women in the west and one for women in the east, there is also a kitchen and a toilet.
After the village chief left, Meng Zhiyu pulled his luggage and looked at the other people in confusion at the house with mud walls and hay roof in front of them.
Only then did Meng Zhiyu truly realize that she had really gone to the countryside. Thinking back to when she had been playing at the beach a few days ago, it felt like a lifetime ago.
When we walked into the female educated youth's supplies room, we found nothing except a large kang on each side.
There were several packages piled on one of the kangs, which should be the luggage of the educated youth who arrived earlier.
Meng Zhiyu walked to the big kang opposite, chose a seat near the inside, put his luggage down, sat down on the kang and took a long breath.
"Are we all sleeping on this kang?" Li Qingqing looked around and asked in confusion.
"Or else, if you want to sleep on the kang opposite, that's fine." Zhang Qingwan chose the seat closest to the door, sat down, took out the kettle and took a sip.
"Don't you want to wipe it?" Li Tingman took out a black cloth and asked Meng Zhiyu and Li Qingqing who were already sitting on the kang.
"Hmm?" Meng Zhiyu subconsciously reached out to touch the kang, looked at the blackness in his palm, stood up silently, and patted his butt.
Li Qingqing also reacted, quickly stood up, and patted twice, "It's okay, it's time to wash anyway."
"Where can we take a shower?" Zhang Qingwan wiped the sweat from his face, sat on his luggage, and watched several people looking for cloth to clean the kang.
"I don't know." Li Qingqing found a small floral cloth and planned to wipe it with dry cloth first. She looked at Zhang Qingwan who was sitting there motionless and asked, "Don't you want to find something to wipe it with?"
"Aren't you wiping it? We are next to each other anyway, so you can help me wipe it at the same time." Zhang Qingwan pointed to the position of himself and Li Qingqing and said with a grin.
Li Qingqing was a little unhappy, "Don't you have a cloth? Then wait until I'm done wiping and then you can wipe it yourself."
Zhang Qingwan's smile disappeared instantly. He had never expected her to refuse. After all, it wasn't a big deal. "It's just a wipe. It's not like he's doing anything special. Isn't this just a matter of convenience?"
Li Qingqing became unhappy when she heard this. If she was busy, she could ask for help, but they were all busy and she was the only one sitting here resting.
"You are tired and so am I. After I finish wiping, I still have to pack my luggage." After saying that, he ignored her, took out a small basin from his bag, and went out to fetch water.
Meng Zhiyu saw the basin in Li Qingqing's hand and remembered that his own basin might still be on the way. He looked at Li Tingman, who was slowly preparing and mopping the kang, and asked, "Li Zhiqing, did you bring the basin?"
"No." Li Tingman shook the cloth that was unrecognizable and replied, "The basin takes up space, so it would be better to buy a new one instead of keeping it."
"I brought a basin. How about I lend it to you to help me clean the kang?" Zhang Qingwan was sulking, but when he heard this, he suddenly perked up and asked quickly.
Meng Zhiyu looked at Zhang Qingwan, who was looking expectant, and shook his head. "Not very good."
Li Tingman glanced at her indifferently without saying a word, but her eyes revealed her meaning.
Zhang Qingwan was so angry that he slammed the basin down and went out to get some water. He bumped into Li Qingqing who was coming back with the water.
"Don't you have eyes to watch when you walk?" He shouted at Li Qingqing who had barely dodged and avoided spilling the water, and walked out.
"Is this guy mentally ill?" Li Qingqing said angrily with a look of shock on her face.
Just one day after arriving, there was chaos. Meng Zhiyu looked at "Sister Ting" as if nothing had happened, and lamented, "This person is in such a state, is she still thinking about moving out?"
"What are you looking at?" Li Tingman noticed her strange look and felt that her eyes were filled with pity and sadness, so she asked out of rare curiosity.
"No, nothing."
Meng Zhiyu rummaged through her bag and pulled out two pieces of fruit candy, handing them to the sulking Li Qingqing. "Li Zhiqing, I forgot to bring my basin. Could you lend it to me after you're done with it?"
Li Qingqing sniffed, took the candy and put one in her mouth, mumbling, "I'll give it to you when you're done."
Zhang Qingwan came back with a basin of water, soaked the cloth in it, wrung it out casually, and started wiping it vigorously, with water droplets flying everywhere.
"If you are not good at it, I can help you." Li Tingman wiped the water droplets on her arm and reminded unhappily.
Zhang Qingwan looked at Li Tingman, who was looking at her expressionlessly, and muttered timidly, "Slow down, then."
Li Qingqing snorted in her heart, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
After Li Qingqing finished wiping, Meng Zhiyu took the basin, fetched water and brought it in, washed the cloth and was ready to start wiping. Then he saw Li Tingman put the black cloth in his hand into the basin and washed it without changing his expression.
“…”Are you so self-conscious?
