Chapter 23: Warming the Kang



In the afternoon, Xu Manman left work an hour early and rushed back with Yue Feng to prepare dinner. He was the main cook, while Xu Manman made the fire, chopped wood, and fetched water. Yue Feng did all the work.

It was the same at noon. Xu Manman felt embarrassed, so she asked Yue Feng not to worry about cleaning the kitchen after dinner.

In fact, Yue Feng’s cooking skills are really good. He can make food delicious even with such simple seasonings.

——

The reward for signing in at the educated youth point is 150 yuan.

It seems that the system really has its own ideas. Seeing that Xu Manman has excess supplies, it only gives money.

Xu Manman's suggestion to collect firewood by themselves was unanimously agreed by everyone, so after lunch and dinner, everyone went to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood.

The villagers are not too busy at work at this time of year, and they all run to the mountains after work.

Xu Manman followed Wan Fang and while collecting firewood, she also picked up a lot of chestnuts and hazelnuts that fell on the ground, and dug up a lot of wild vegetables.

The three people who first set up the kang will heat it up. It takes two days and requires a lot of firewood.

After baking for a day and understanding the consumption of firewood, everyone decided to go up the mountain every day in the future. The winter in Northeast China lasts for several months, and the kang must be heated every day. If we don’t store more firewood now, we will really freeze to death.

It’s no wonder that those who lived in the big dormitory were all old educated youth who had been there for a long time. Several people lived in one room and pooled the firewood they collected, which saved a lot of trouble.

However, the new educated youth did not regret living alone. After all, their family conditions were not bad, and their own private space was still very important.

——

Balance: 1190 yuan 27 cents, remaining check-in points: 8 points

——

In the morning, the educated youth signed in at the check-in point, and were given 30 tickets for the Great Unity, an oven and an electric rice cooker, an electric pressure cooker, three sets of exquisite tableware, several stainless steel rice bowls, a set of fine steel knives, a non-stick pan, a set of classified cutting boards, an automatic dishwasher, a washing machine with a washer and dryer, and 4 sets of bedding.

Huh? Today? Could it be a celebration of moving into a new house? So many rewards.

After dinner in the evening, Xu Manman returned to her room to pack her luggage.

Liu Li saw this and asked, "Are you moving in today? Didn't they say the kang needs to be heated for two days?"

Wan Fang nodded, "Yes, it's not dry in here yet, it's hard to sleep."

Xu Manman replied while packing, "No, I just thought of putting these things that I won't use there first, so it will be much easier to move tomorrow."

Fortunately, the things taken out were not many, and the two large packages that I picked up from the post office before were not opened at all, which were the large bags that I brought with me before.

After leaving her toiletries behind, Xu Manman dragged her bag out.

After dragging it to the door, I called Yue Feng to help move it. It was too heavy, so Zhang Yuan and Li Xiao also came to help. We moved it all in one trip.

We're all on the same train, so let's not talk about feelings. We're all kind of open-minded. I'll treat you all to a good meal later.

Thinking of this, Xu Manman thought that she should take some meat tomorrow and prepare a meal for the big kitchen. It was all to thank them for taking care of her these past few days.

But it would not be good to only hire the kitchen manager and ignore the other three people. They all worked hard to move the furniture yesterday. It would not be good to hire only one person and leave Liu Hua behind.

Ah! The ways of the world are so annoying.

I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’ll talk to Liu Hua about it tomorrow.

Xu Manman had something on her mind and couldn't sleep well.

——

Today's balance: 1490 yuan 27 cents, remaining check-in time: 10 o'clock

——

Signing in the next morning wasn't that joyful at all.

But as soon as the reward came out, my mood instantly improved.

50 "Great Unity" tickets, a tea set with 10 kilograms of various teas, 100 boxes of Chinese and Western pastries, all of Xu Manman's favorites, steaming hot egg tarts, ice cream puffs, 100 boxes of ice cream, and a huge refrigerator.

100 boxes of toilet paper and sanitary napkins, 10 sets of makeup products, 50 sets of skin care products, 100 boxes of facial masks, 100 sets of bathroom supplies...

Xu Manman is numb, it is enough for several years.
