Chapter 197 The 1970s Educated Youth Are a Little Arrogant
In the evening, Accountant Qian brought people to help Lin Wanwan repair the collapsed kitchen and toilet, and raised and reinforced her wall.
Lin Wanwan took out a few bags of snacks from her luggage and paid the cost of the materials to Accountant Qian.
In the evening, I was called home by the village chief's wife and had a simple dinner.
After all this busy work, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
The house has been cleaned by the village chief's wife and her men. Apart from being a little empty, there are no other flaws.
On the wall of the inner room near the kitchen, most of the kang that was originally built had collapsed.
Accountant Qian had already knocked out all the collapsed kang bricks and placed them outside.
He said the weather is still quite hot, so he won’t build the kang for now and will wait until it gets colder.
At the same time, all the beds and cabinets that Lin Wanwan wanted were moved over.
These were all paid for by Lin Wanwan, and Accountant Qian also picked the best ones for her.
These things are just there anyway, and are basically what the villagers have left over.
If it is left like this any longer, it will have no choice but to rot and decay.
After closing the gate, Lin Wanwan sorted out the things that the original owner brought.
The bed and cabinet are now dry, and I put my things away in different categories.
The bed was covered with a thick straw mat, and you could smell the straw when you got close.
Lin Wanwan had been spoiled over the years, and she found a bamboo mat from the space and spread it on the bed.
Then he wiped the bamboo mat with hot water and put his blanket on it.
As for the quilt, she planned to take it out to the yard to dry in the sun before putting it away if the weather was fine tomorrow.
It's not cold yet, so there's no need for it now.
By the time we finished cleaning up, it was already past 12 o'clock in the evening.
Sneak out and head east from the back mountain.
This is where Houshantou Village is located.
Her parents live in the cowshed here.
Lin Wanwan did not choose to recognize her parents immediately, but instead found the location of the cowshed and inquired about the terrain and environment.
“Cough cough cough…”
"Lao Lin, are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
Wang Aiying's voice came from a corner of the cowshed.
The voice was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing others' rest.
"It's okay, I'll just drink some water!"
“Cough cough cough…”
He didn't say he was fine, but his suppressed coughing almost made his lungs burst.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Wanwan's heart suddenly tightened.
She really wanted to rush over right now and take out the medicine in the space for her father.
But no, if she showed up now, the others in the bullpen would definitely know about it.
They say people's hearts are hidden, so there's no guarantee that no one will report their family.
"Lao Lin, this is some licorice I exchanged with the villagers this day. I'll use it to make some water for you to drink!"
Wang Aiying is a high school teacher, but she is not a doctor and doesn't know much about medical knowledge.
In addition, when they arrived at the village, it had already been plundered layer by layer, and there was not even a penny left.
In addition, the couple is not familiar with farm work, so even if they see medicinal herbs in the mountains, they probably won’t be able to recognize them.
Lin Wanwan stood outside the door for a while, but finally suppressed the throbbing in her heart and left quickly.
"Mom and Dad, just hold on for one more night. I'll bring you medicine tomorrow."
On the way back, Lin Wanwan looked for a few suitable places to set traps and dug a few traps overnight.
These were the sources of wild game she would eat in the future.
There are many small animals in the mountains. Even if she came back empty-handed, Lin Wanwan still brought back two rabbits and two pheasants.
After these things arrived home, she threw them directly into the space and asked 3628 to help take care of them.
Because she lives close to other neighbors, Lin Wanwan doesn't plan to cook meat at home.
Whenever she caught prey, she would stew it in her space.
After stewing, eat and drink enough before coming out. As long as you rinse your mouth frequently, you will surely not be discovered.
This era has both good and bad sides.
If you smell meat in your house every day, you will definitely be reported and cause unnecessary trouble.
As long as you don't let anyone catch you, no one will cause trouble for you for no reason.
Early the next morning.
It was just after five o'clock when the sound from the commune's loudspeaker reached the village from far away.
When the villagers heard the sound, smoke rose from every household soon.
I have to go to work at 7 am every day. Before that, I have to finish my housework and fill my stomach.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to work for the whole morning, and I would probably be too hungry to have any strength before noon.
The educated youth in the Youth House were also discussing the new educated youth.
"Didn't they say they were going to assign a new educated youth to our dormitory? Why hasn't he come yet?"
"I heard that the educated youth from other villages have already arrived, why hasn't our educated youth shown up yet?"
The educated youth were having a lively discussion while making breakfast.
"You may not know this yet, but the educated youth arrived yesterday afternoon. However, they didn't live in our compound. Instead, they rented a separate yard."
"It's on the east side, near the mountain. Wasn't there a small empty courtyard there before? I heard that the female educated youth rented it out."
"The rent is a full two dollars a month, and the house repairs cost another fortune. It seems this new female educated youth's family is not simple!"
The well-informed male educated youth had already found out Lin Wanwan's whereabouts.
They were envious but also felt helpless.
Two dollars a month in rent can help them improve their lives.
If this were bought as food, everyone wouldn't be so hungry that they would be pale and skinny.
"Do you know where this educated youth came from? Why did the village agree to let her rent a house?"
Not all the educated youth in the educated youth home were poor. There were always a few from well-off families.
They had long wanted to move out and live on their own, but the village chief had never agreed.
"I know this. I have a good relationship with the second son of the village chief."
"I heard from somewhere that this young woman cured the village chief's illness right after she arrived, and she even boasted that she could easily beat five or six strong men."
"Since the village chief agreed to let her rent the yard alone, this young woman must be really capable and not worried about being targeted by bad people."
The village chief has always used this reason to reject them.
"It's not convenient for us female educated youth to move out, but you male educated youth can!"
"Yao Zhiqing, have you ever thought about renting a yard with a few other educated youth?"
"I remember there were a few empty courtyards with more rooms in the village. If you split the money with a few educated youth, two yuan a month wouldn't be much."
"It's more comfortable than being squeezed here, right?"
Female educated youth could not leave the Youth House, but male educated youth could.
Some of the more thoughtful female educated youth began to instigate, saying that if more male educated youth went out, there would be an extra dormitory available, and then a few of the female educated youth could be moved out.
This way, everyone can relax.
"I think living in the Youth House is pretty good. There's no need to move out."
"If that doesn't work out, you female educated youth can pool some money and ask the village to help you build a room in the educated youth compound. That way you can have somewhere to live, right?"
