Meng Zhiyu was only stunned for a moment, then continued to wipe his own, saying, "Go change the water later."
"Know."
The weather was hot, and it was completely dry in a few minutes after I wiped it. However, I didn’t know how many people had slept on this kang, so I thought of going outside, buying a mat, and asking a few people what they thought.
Except for Zhang Qingwan who refused with an unhappy look on her face, Li Tingman and Li Qingqing both wanted to go, so the three of them went out happily.
I asked the two boys next to me, and they both said they wanted to go too, so two more people were added to the team of three.
Arriving at the village, Mu Ziwei looked around and walked to a very sturdy tree. He took out the White Rabbit candy from his pocket and asked with a smile, "Little friend, tell me which villager's house uses flat mats as cabinets, and I will give you some candy, how about that?"
"I know, Uncle Zhou's house."
"I know that too, Goudan's family."
"Donkey Egg's house."
"Yaya's house."
Several children talked at once and mentioned several names. Are there so many carpenters in the village?
"My grandpa can make it. He's very skilled." A little boy stared at the candy in Mu Ziwei's hand with drool.
Mu Ziwei handed out a candy to each person and asked, "What's your name?"
"Goudan." Goudan carefully grasped the candy in his hand, and did not forget to attract customers for his family. "Brothers and sisters, come home with me. The mat cabinets made by my grandfather are very good."
Mu Ziwei turned around and looked at Meng Zhiyu and the others. Seeing that they had no objections, he touched his head and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go back with you."
Several children followed behind and cheered.
When they reached the yard across the river, Goudan pushed open the half-closed door and ran over, shouting in a baby voice, "Grandpa, Grandpa, my brothers and sisters are here to ask you for mats."
Meng Zhiyu and the others stood at the gate and did not go in. They heard a steady voice from inside, "Why are you standing at the gate? Come in."
When I walked into the yard, I saw a thin middle-aged man sitting under a large thatched shed, quickly weaving something that looked like a basket with his hands.
The man looked up with a faint smile on his face. He pointed to a place not far away and said softly, "You must be the newly arrived educated youth. I made all of this. Take a look for yourselves."
Meng Zhiyu and others stepped forward and each chose what they needed.
Meng Zhiyu took one each of the mat, wooden basin, water basin, bamboo basket, and backpack.
"Uncle, I also want a cabinet for things and a cabinet for clothes." Meng Zhiyu said after paying the bill.
Li Tingman and others also expressed their desire for cabinets.
"Then I'll send someone to call you when I'm done." The man replied after paying their bills one by one.
After saying goodbye, several people took, hugged and carried the things back to the educated youth site.
After laying out the mat, Meng Zhiyu took a bed sheet and lowered her voice to ask Li Tingman to help her hold it. She wanted to change the clothes she had not washed for three or four days.
Li Tingman said she wanted to change too, and Li Qingqing also shouted that she wanted to change. Zhang Qingwan, who was sleeping directly on the kang, shouted in dissatisfaction, "Can you guys be quiet? I'm sleeping."
Li Qingqing covered her mouth and apologized, "I'm sorry."
The three of them changed their clothes and lay down for their afternoon nap. Before falling asleep, Meng Zhiyu took a look at the assets he had earned in the past few days: an electric pen, a space, silver needles, an acre of land, and three apple trees, peach trees, and pear trees already planted in the field.
There is also a sun hat, which is in line with the aesthetic of this era. It is just a little big, so it can keep you cool in the sun.
In addition, there are 700 gold coins obtained from selling butter cakes, totaling 1006 gold coins.
Meng Zhiyu went to meet Zhou Gong with a deep sense of satisfaction.
When I woke up again, I found that besides myself, there was only Li Tingman who was still sleeping in the room. Various noises came from outside. It must be the old educated youth who came back.
Meng Zhiyu walked out quietly with her new basin, and saw people washing clothes, washing hair, washing vegetables and cooking in the yard. It was very lively.
Meng Zhiyu walked to the water tank and washed her face. Suddenly, she felt someone pat her shoulder. "Hello, you are the new educated youth, right? I am Zhao Shuanglian. What is your name?"
"Hello, I'm Meng Zhiyu." Meng Zhiyu wiped the water off her face, looked up, and saw a girl with a palm-length pigtail and a smiling face.
"Then I'll call you Zhiyu. Her name is Song Yun. She came here with me." As he said that, he pointed to the girl who was washing her hair over there and introduced her.
"I'll go back to the house first." Meng Zhiyu said hello and went back.
Li Tingman was already awake and was combing her long braids.
Li Qingqing rushed in, panting heavily, "The village chief asked us newcomers to go to the office to get food. Hurry up and pack up. I'll go call Mu Zhiqing and the others."
Several people gathered together and walked towards the office. From time to time, they met villagers on the way, who were rushing home in a hurry or leisurely manner.
The weather was too hot. Even when the sun was about to set, the hot air and scorching ground still made people sweat profusely.
After Meng Zhiyu and his companions received the food, they hurried back. The two boys, Mu Ziwei and Song Guangye, walked in front, followed by Li Tingman, Meng Zhiyu, Li Qingqing, and Zhang Qingwan at the end.
The few of them walked to the corner and were about to reach the educated youth's residence. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Zhang Qingwan's terrified scream behind them.
