Zhou Rongrong dragged the luggage directly into Feng Zhen's room, and Wang Ping followed quickly.
Cui Hongying glanced at Lin Weiwan and followed him in.
Lin Weiwan carried her luggage into the room where Wu Erqiao and Lin Huahua were staying.
As soon as you enter the room, there is a stove on the first hand, and on the right is the wall separating the room of another female educated youth.
Through the wooden door between the inner room and the outer room, there is a kang connected to the stove.
A quilt was laid near the firewall, and a piece of luggage was laid between two empty spaces.
Lin Weiwan carried the luggage to the end of the kang and piled it on the ground.
Du Shanshan frowned when she saw Lin Weiwan chose the solitary position at the end of the kang, and quickly chose the position in the middle so that she could be closer to Lin Weiwan.
Wang Qiaoyun stood at the head of the kang and watched the kang mat fray. She then sat down on the edge of the kang and started crying.
Lin Weiwan found a rag and walked over to clean her spot. The kang mat had been unused for a long time and was covered with dust. After some cleaning, it was finally clean.
"The food is ready, everyone come out and eat. Remember to take out your lunch boxes." Feng Dongzhen stood at the door and shouted inside.
Two wooden tables were put together, and the bench was where the old educated youth used to sit.
Lin Weiwan looked at the thatched house. It turned out that this house was where they cooked.
The educated youth came out with a lunch box full of rice porridge, and the female educated youth cooked it.
Just as she saw Ye Jibai looking at her, Lin Weiwan only glanced at him and then looked away.
I don't know why Ye Jibai would do this. Since others treat me as a stranger, I must be annoying.
The entire educated youth center, old and new, sat together. In the basket on the dining table was a bowl of freshly cooked rice dumplings, in the middle were two bowls of pheasant stewed potatoes, two bowls of fried leeks, and two bowls of cold cucumber salad.
"Today's meal is a collective treat from us old educated youth to you new educated youth. Welcome to join our family.
There are now two educated youths in our youth station. Counting some of those who have left, there are still six educated youths in the village. Four female educated youths have married local farmers, and two male educated youths have married girls in the village.
Now we have re-formed a family, we are a collective, I hope to see nothing that splits the collective and destroys the unity within the educated youth. No matter what time, we must advance and retreat together.
As the person in charge of the educated youth site, Dong Qing took the lead in making some welcoming opening remarks, which also demonstrated the united stance of the educated youth site.
Feng Zhen looked at Dong Qing and nodded slightly, "Come to your house and eat. This chicken is available every day. It was brought back by Ye Zhiqing. We are in for a treat today."
The old educated youth was obviously faster in using chopsticks, and the dining table was bustling with activity, and I was busy.
Cui Hongying was eating the dry rice noodles happily, her eyes occasionally glancing in the direction of Ye Jibai.
Lin Weiwan drank the rice porridge that made her throat dry and ate a few mouthfuls of cucumber and was lucky enough to get a piece of chicken.
He would hold a rice ball as small as his fist and eat it slowly.
The dishes on the table had long been gone, and Wu Erqiao had even picked up the bowl and rubbed it twice with the rice-cold surface.
Looking at the clean dish bowl, Lin Weiwan felt that the bowl had been washed.
Each of the female educated youth had only two fist-sized rice flour buns.
The conditions at the male educated youth's place were much better, with more dishes than at the female educated youth's place, and two rice and flour nests, which were twice as many as the two nests at the female educated youth's place.
"From now on we are a whole. Let me tell you some rules of our educated youth site.
Now that the weather is warm, we, the male and female educated youth, eat together. In winter, when the snow starts to fall after the autumn harvest, we cook and eat in our own rooms.
It will be cold then, so it is better to go out. You can decide how and how much to eat by each room.
From March every year, the female educated youth would be responsible for cooking, while the male educated youth would be responsible for cutting firewood and fetching water. Before winter, we would go to the mountains together to cut firewood for a few days to prepare for the winter.
The heavy work in our private plots was also done by male educated youth, such as tilling the soil and watering. The female educated youth were responsible for weeding the private vegetable plots.
We have just arrived a group of female educated youth, so from now on, two of us will be in charge of cooking, and you new educated youth will be in charge of the bicycle team, and we will form a shift later.
Since all of us were educated youth, we could share the vegetables in the vegetable garden. We could eat them together, and we could do the work together in the future. In addition to the vegetable garden in the front yard, we also had a vegetable garden in the back yard.
There was also the problem of food. The educated youth who arrived in their first year only received half a year's worth of food subsidies, 30 kilograms per month. As you saw just now, it was 20 kilograms of rice and flour and 5 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Those of you who are left must work hard to earn work points. Although we are a collective, we do have plenty of food. You must work hard to earn work points. If you don't have food, we won't be able to help you.
Our current rations for each meal are 2 liang, and you have to hand in 6 liang of rations every day. After dinner every day, you should send your rations for the next day to the small kitchen, where they will be collected by the two people who cook for the next day. "
Feng Zhen slowly explained to everyone the basic situation and work assignments of the educated youth sites.
The group dispersed, and Lin Weiwan returned to the room, took out an enamel basin from her luggage bag, filled it with water, and took out a towel to wipe her body.
κΊ— found a set of clean clothes and changed into them along with her underwear, then started washing clothes.
She took the washed clothes out of the thatched house and used the cooling ropes hung between two small trees next to the thatched house to dry all the washed clothes and pants.
This was probably the spot designated by the educated youth for placing the cool clothes, with two cool clothes ropes and a cool clothes rack made of two bamboo poles.
Lin Weiwan saw a female educated youth hanging her clothes on the sunshade rope, so she followed suit.
Underwear and small clothes can only be pressed on the shirt, and it is embarrassing to be exposed.
After shaking off the water in the enamel basin and preparing to go back to the house, I saw Ye Jibai coming over with clothes to dry off in the sun.
When Ye Jibai saw Lin Weiwan, his dark eyes deepened slightly. He nodded slightly at Lin Weiwan and walked away.
Lin Weiwan returned to the house and placed her things under the other person's feet.
Looking at the small wooden boxes placed at the feet of Lin Huahua and Wu Erqiao, I decided to get one for myself tomorrow.
Lin Huahua was sitting on the edge of the kang, soaking her feet. When she saw Lin Weiwan coming in, she smiled.
"Lin Zhiqing is so pretty, with such fair and tender skin. What do you usually use to apply on your face?"
"Lin Zhiqing also has fair skin. I usually use some vanishing cream."
The two were amused by the three words "Lin Zhiqing".
"I'm better than you. From now on, let's call you Xiao Lin. Even if I say "Lin" Zhiqing, everyone knows who I'm calling."
Lin Huahua said as she looked at the beautiful and decent Lin Weiwan in front of her.
