Yue Yue carefully pushed open the somewhat shabby door of the cowshed and walked out.
She took a deep breath of fresh air, stretched her muscles, and then jogged up the mountain.
The mountain road was bumpy, but this did not affect Yue Yue's speed. After a while, she reached the mountainside and began to look for dry firewood.
After some effort, she finally collected enough firewood. Some of these firewood were thick and long, while others were short and strong, but without exception, they were all dried by the sun.
Yue Yue carefully sorted the firewood, held it tightly in both hands, and then walked back along the way she came.
When she returned to the educated youth camp, breathless, she found Liu Lili and Li Xin already up and tidying up the house, but Yue Xin had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing Yue Yue coming in with so much firewood in her arms, Liu Lili and Li Xin hurried to meet her and took the firewood from her hands.
While asking with concern, "Where did you go so early in the morning? We couldn't find you since we got up, and your cousin said a lot of sarcastic things!"
Yue Yue gently put the thing on the ground, then reached out and patted the leaves stuck on her body.
He gasped and replied, "I went to the captain's house. The kang I slept on last night was still freezing cold even though I kept it warm for most of the night. I couldn't sleep well at all. So I thought about building a small house separately. That way, at least it would be warmer. After all, I'm really afraid of the cold."
After hearing this, Liu Lili and Li Xin suddenly understood and showed expressions of "so that's it" on their faces.
"Then can we build a house so that we can live together forever? Anyway, Dad will send us enough money and various bills on time every month." Liu Lili said to Li Xin excitedly, with anticipation shining in her eyes.
They did what they said. Without hesitation, they took out two bags of sweet and delicious peach cakes and two bags of exquisite snacks from their respective packages, and then hurriedly walked towards the captain's house hand in hand.
Along the way, the two talked and laughed, looking forward to their own cozy little house in the future with great joy.
At this time, Yue Yue was thinking in her heart: Building a house is not an easy task. If she could find more people to help, maybe she could build the new house soon!
Not long after, when they returned to their residence happily, Yue Yue had already neatly packed her luggage with quick hands and feet.
Seeing the uncontrollable joy on their faces, Yue Yue immediately guessed that the matter must have been accomplished.
That afternoon, this group of newly arrived educated youth went to the team leader's house to collect this month's food rations.
The team leader smiled as he carried out bag after bag of heavy cornmeal, and each person received more than 30 kilograms.
However, looking at the pile of rough cornmeal in front of him, Mo Shihao couldn't help but frown.
The cornmeal looked coarse and the color was not very nice. Just imagining the feeling of having a pulled throat when eating it made him feel a little difficult to swallow.
So, he couldn't help but ask the team leader, "Excuse me, team leader, can this cornmeal be exchanged for other food? Like rice or flour?"
The captain seemed to have anticipated this situation. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, we have cornmeal here, as well as some rice and flour. However, if you want to exchange them, you'll have to pay a certain amount of money and the corresponding food coupons."
After hearing what the captain said, Mo Shihao deliberately winked at Yue Yue, suggesting that she quickly take out the money and tickets to help him complete the exchange.
Yue Yue glanced at him with disdain, her eyes filled with contempt and ridicule: "Is there something wrong with your eyes? Why are you making faces like a monkey?"
Hearing this, the anger in Mo Shihao's heart was instantly ignited and burst out.
You know, ever since the last incident, Yue Yue has never been kind to him, and she hasn't given him any face at all.
At this moment, he could no longer endure this humiliation, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to rush forward to teach Yue Yue a lesson.
At this moment, Yue Xin on the side hurriedly reached out and grabbed Mo Shihao's sleeve.
He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Shihao, we just arrived in this rural area, so we should not be too loud. Otherwise, if we cause any trouble, it will be difficult to resolve."
Mo Shihao followed Yue Xin's gaze and saw that the area was already surrounded by villagers who were watching the fun. Everyone was pointing and whispering, waiting to see how this wonderful show would unfold.
In desperation, Mo Shihao had to suppress the anger in his heart and endure it temporarily.
He took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the team leader, then took two bags of Fuqiang powder. Seeing how generous he was, the surrounding villagers speculated that he must be the son of a wealthy family.
Many people began to become excited, secretly thinking that if they could marry their daughters to such a rich man, they would never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Among those who were interested, Aunt Zhang was the most active. While staring at Mo Shihao, she secretly nudged her daughter Tao Dani beside her, signaling her to quickly approach and chat with him.
Although Tao Dani was a little shy, she had no choice but to step forward when she saw her mother's eager eyes.
Soon, all the food was distributed. The team leader looked at the group of well-mannered, thin-armed and leggy educated youth in front of him and couldn't help but frown.
He turned to look at his son and ordered, "Go, lend them our cart so that they don't get tired carrying all these things." After receiving his father's instructions, the young man hurriedly pushed the cart over.
