Chen Ye had just sat down on the warm kang in his home when he was greeted by several groups of female soldiers.
Fortunately, the villagers also knew that Ye Zi's grandparents had also come with them. The villagers were naturally afraid of city people, so they exchanged things and left quickly without sitting down to chat.
There was no swarm of people coming to Chen Ye to exchange things. Instead, they left in groups and came in groups. Ye Zi guessed that more people would come tomorrow.
Thanks to the fact that she drove back this time, she had saved up quite a lot of welfare benefits issued by various factories in the past few months. None of them required tickets, which was just right for her to give to the villagers.
Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief after seeing off the last group of people. This guy was a little too enthusiastic. It seemed that the things he brought back could be replaced in the next two days, and he could go into the mountains and have fun for the rest of the time.
"Ye Zi, come and have dinner," Cen Zixiang called through the gate. Ye Zi's family was too busy, so they had dinner in their house today.
"Here we are, are our grandparents here?"
"Well, I've been waiting for you. Hurry up."
"Here I am, here I am," Chen Ye found the things he brought back, took out a bottle of wine and brought it over. The little grandfather and the others were definitely there too, so it was a good opportunity for the old guys to have a drink.
"What's so delicious? Who made it?" She could smell the fragrance from such a long distance away.
Cen Zixiang helped Ye Zi close the door and took the wine from her hand: "You're just thinking about eating. Didn't you rush back today just to eat the cooking of Shuanzhu?"
"Hehe, I was wondering if the date I calculated was right. I didn't expect it to be so accurate. I'll really take a break today."
Cen Zixiang knocked Ye Zi's head with amusement: "Did you really forget or were you just pretending not to remember? They're tied up for the autumn harvest holiday and it's not over yet."
"I really forgot. I was thinking about how I could have a rest on Sunday. Are Grandpa and the others coming over too?"
"Well, everyone's here. I'll prepare a table for the teachers in the cowshed tonight. You can come over and sit down. The teachers have been talking about you all day long."
It’s not appropriate to go there now while it’s still light, but it will be fine after dark.
Ye Zi rarely comes back since she went to work in the city, mainly because she doesn't have enough time and can't always take leave, so every time she comes back, she receives the highest treatment.
After dinner, gifts were distributed to everyone. The day was over. After dark, Chen Ye personally cooked a few dishes and sent them to the cowshed. He had some food with a few teachers and also brought over the new cotton-padded clothes he had made for them.
"You girl, our cotton-padded jackets are still in good condition, why did you make new ones?" This cloth and cotton are not easy to buy. I don't know how much effort Xiao Ye put in to get them.
They can't bring anything for the child, but they still have to eat and drink from the child, and even the clothes he wears are arranged by the child. It's hard to describe the feeling in their hearts. This is better than taking care of their own children.
"You guys don't know this, but I can get scraps of cloth for free and I even grow my own cotton. All this is made from my own cotton. Your cotton-padded jackets are years old, how can they still keep you warm?"
"You can't leave too much food here. The food is all in my cellar. When you finish eating, go directly to my cellar to get it. My key is still under the stone next to the gate."
"There's still some bacon in the cellar. Don't be reluctant to eat it. Cook some occasionally to improve your life. If it's inconvenient to eat during the day, you can cook it at night. There are also some commonly used oral medications. If you feel unwell, don't bear it. Go and get some medicine directly."
"Or you can ask Grandpa Luo. Is there enough firewood? If not, I can get you some more in the next few days."
Several teachers have taught her a lot over the years, and she doesn't know how to thank them, so she just takes better care of them in her daily life.
"Girl, we are fine. Don't forget that your fourth brother is still here. How can he let us freeze and starve?"
Although the conditions here are not as good as their previous lives, they are much better than the lives of most people who have been sent down. At least they will not be sent out to be humiliated.
"I heard that you made a washing machine yourself?" The person who asked this question is Mr. Sun Zhengjie. This old man specializes in mechanical engineering. It's a pity that he has studied abroad and it's not easy to survive these days.
"Hey, please take a look," Chen Ye also planned to come back this time to let Grandpa Sun take a look to see if there are any shortcomings.
Sun Zhengjie, using the light of an oil lamp, carefully examined the blueprint for the washing machine's structure. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, and a smile spread across his face. "Girl, I knew you had a brain suited for research. Do you plan on changing jobs?"
They all knew how easy and boring this little girl's job was. It didn't require any technical skills at all. They always felt that all the knowledge this little girl had learned was wasted.
Chen Ye quickly shook his head: "No, this job is good, very quiet, I have an office all by myself, I don't have to deal with other people all day."
For example, educated people have to speak in a roundabout way. Chen Ye still prefers the way the village aunties speak. They say whatever they want and you don’t have to guess at all.
The old man shook his head. He knew a little about the girl's character. Anyway, no one could ask her to change her mind after she had made her decision.
Mr. Hao Xiangwen asked with a smile: "I heard from the Cen family kid that you found a job to pass the time."
Chen Ye continued to take out the blueprints: "Please take a look at it. I'm just bored and this house looks uncomfortable, so I'm going to renovate it."
Hao Xiangwen took the blueprint and squinted at it near the oil lamp. "You're quite a handy girl. Not to mention that this old-fashioned high-roofed house feels a bit like a small Western-style building after this transformation."
"The pipes under your floor replace the ceramic floor heating?"
"Well, in the weather in Northeast China, even if you use a radiator, the cold air will rise from the ground. With floor heating, the house will be hot from the bottom and it will definitely not be cold."
"That's a good idea. I always say you have a good brain. It looks really good. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely live in your new house."
"There will definitely be a chance. I'll reserve a room for you. Tell me what you like first. I'll go back and clean it up the way you like it."
"Haha, you are thoughtful girl. Everything you do is good. I like it when I see it."
Chen Ye took out another piece of paper and put it in Tian Lanhui's hand: "Grandma Tian, can you show me this recipe? Is it suitable?"
"I invented the washing machine, but it was inconvenient to use dissolved soap every time I washed clothes, so I thought of making a powdered laundry detergent to use with the washing machine."
The old lady is a master of chemistry. She also studied abroad and is a serious professor-level teacher. These people are all outstanding figures in their respective fields. Now they are just temporarily avoiding the limelight.
