Lin Weiwan pulled Du Shanshan into the yard, "Hello, auntie, we are new educated youth. My name is Lin Weiwan, and this is Du Shanshan. We are here to ask Uncle Li to make wooden boxes."

"Yes, here they are. We have a few ready-made ones at home. You can check for yourself what size you need. I'll have my husband deliver them to you later."

Aunt Li looked at the fair and tender new educated youth with eyes full of love. This girl is so pretty.

Lin Weiwan was brought to the lower room by Aunt Li. The door was opened and there were four or five ready-made wooden boxes inside.

Thinking of her luggage, Lin Weiwan pointed to a large box half a person's height and a small wooden cabinet and said.

"Ms. Li, I want these two. How much are they?"

"Just give me nine dollars for these two." Aunt Li said while looking at the two boxes.

"Auntie, I want this box." Du Shanshan felt that she didn't have much stuff, so she just picked a small kang cabinet like Lin Huahua's.

I think about the extra money I just put into my pocket today.

"Give me $4.50 for this."

Lin Weiwan saw the wooden basin in the corner and remembered that she only brought an enamel basin to wash her face.

"Auntie, I want this wooden basin. How much is it?"

"Eight cents for the wooden basin." Aunt Li picked up the wooden basin directly.

Lin Weiwan took out money from his pocket and gave it to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li handed the wooden basin to Lin Weiwan, collected the money from them and went to the inner room.

"Old man, push the cart out and give these boxes to Lin Zhiqing and her friends to take to the Zhiqing point."

Li Guojun came out of the inner room and saw Lin Weiwan in the yard. His eyes lit up and he almost stumbled.

"Mom." Li Guojun looked at his mother embarrassedly.

"What are you looking at, you silly boy? Hurry up and deliver the box to Lin Zhiqing and the others."

"Why…."

After seeing Li Guojun off, Lin Weiwan placed her wooden box in front of her using a few stones she had picked up from outside.

The box was opened, and Lin Weiwan put the two large packages he had picked up from the post office today into it, and stuffed the two luggage bags on the bed into it, filling it up just enough. He locked it directly.

The small cabinet is placed at the foot, and the clothes for daily changes are placed in it.

I went out to pick up the clothes and pants that were hung out to dry yesterday, fetched a basin of water to wipe the sweat off my face, and then Du Shanshan and I quickly lay down to take a nap and rest.

Wang Qiaoyun didn't know where to go. When Lin Weiwan woke up, there were already voices in the yard.

When Du Shanshan saw Lin Weiwan get up, she also got up, put on her shoes and went downstairs.

I looked at my watch and it was already half past five in the evening.

When they went out, they saw Wang Qiaoyun and Wu Qiaotan discussing something, one picking vegetables while the other kneading them.

Lin Weiwan found a stone and sat under the window eaves, watching the educated youth who came back one after another busying themselves.

Du Shanshan also sat next to Lin Weiwan, wondering if there was anything else in the space that could be sold.

The food was quickly brought to the table. Lin Weiwan wasn't very hungry at the moment, so he took out his lunch box and chopsticks from the house, filled a lunch box with corn paste that was so thin that it covered his face, and sat down.

Tonight's dinner was still two corn cobs, and the side dishes were stir-fried beans and cucumber with sauce.

There wasn't a drop of oil in either dish, and the stir-fried beans were almost boiled.

Lin Weiwan slowly ate the corn porridge with some cucumber sauce.

Du Shanshan naturally had no idea how many things she could make with her 10 grams of cornmeal.

Cui Hongying looked around and saw that everyone was eating quickly. She was thinking in her mind.

Wang Ping looked at the dimple in her hand, which was not even as big as her fist, and couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile.

I have always eaten like this, and no one has complained. But now it is different. Does that mean my fate will also change?

Wang Qiaoyun ate the steamed bun in her hand without any taste, not knowing what to do.

Feng Yuzhen swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Tomorrow, Wang Qiaoyun, you and Cui Hongying will cook together. Don't forget."

Wang Qiaoyun put down the steamed buns in her hand and looked at Feng Yuzhen, "Feng Zhiqing, why do both male and female educated youths pay two rations of food, but the male educated youths can eat two large steamed buns, while the female educated youths can only eat two small ones?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the educated youth at the table put down their chopsticks.

"Qiao Yun, we are a whole. The male educated youth have heavy tasks every day and are more tired than us. It's no big deal if they eat a little more.

Most of the hard work in our educated youth camp is done by male educated youth, right? Only by helping each other can we survive."

Feng Yuzhen explained gently.

"What Feng Zhiqing meant was that as long as we stay at this Zhiqing site, we will have to use the food we work so hard to earn to support the male Zhiqing.

What kind of help is that? They claim to help but actually want to exchange our food for it. Isn't that just buying peace with money?" Wang Qiaoyun put down her chopsticks and didn't even eat.

In the countryside, she cooks all the meals at home. Two tablespoons of cornmeal are enough to make four buns as big as the one in my hand now.

Now we only have a box of corn paste that is as thin as water and two small dumplings, which are not enough to fill us up. Without oil and water, we have more food. At this rate, one-quarter of the food in a year will go into the stomachs of the male educated youth.

Seeing that no one joined in the commotion, Wang Qiaoyun said without hesitation, "You newly arrived educated youth have good conditions, and your families have never cooked before. I'm afraid I don't know how much of your own food goes into your own stomachs and how much goes into other people's stomachs.

If you don't believe me, how about we take two tablespoons of cornmeal and cook a meal right now so everyone can see clearly?"

Lin Weiwan put down his chopsticks and said, "No need to do it. Some people don't know, but there are still some people who know, and they are indeed much less."

Wang Qiaoyun didn't expect that the first person to stand up with her was Lin Weiwan, who was the richest.

Cui Hongying also put down her chopsticks. "We need to make at least four nests of this size. I also want to know why. Is it just the male educated youth who are responsible for chopping wood and fetching water?"

Feng Yuzhen looked unhappy and looked at Dong Daqing.

"When you came yesterday, I told you that the most important thing for this educated youth camp is to maintain good unity and avoid quarrels. Although the food is a little short, we male educated youth have also paid a lot.

The villagers didn't dare to cause trouble in front of you, and they didn't bully you, didn't they, because we were the educated youths?

You are just too young to care about the immediate gains and losses. We are a big family. The older brothers should eat more, the younger sisters should eat less, and everyone should do their job. Why make such a fuss? "

"It's easy for you to say that, but since we are a family, from now on all the heavy work that I can't do will be handed over to you male educated youth. When I have a stomachache, dizziness, or a cold, I can't bother to do the work in the fields without you, the eldest brother.

I have no food to eat in the winter, can you, as the eldest brother, give me some help?"

Wang Qiaoyun has inherited her mother's true skills and she is always talking when they quarrel.
