After this tidying up, the room looks much warmer.

Ye Xiaoxiao lay on the bed and tried it. It was very soft and comfortable.

Others would certainly think her behavior is a waste.

But Ye Xiaoxiao was really used to sleeping on a hard bed, and was not prepared to put herself in a difficult position.

The pillow was made of buckwheat husk. Ye Xiaoxiao put on the pillowcase and placed it on the bed.

I was very tired after doing all this, and Li Zhen came over to bring me some water.

"This bucket is mine...how come you suddenly have so many things here!"

Because Ye Xiaoxiao was assigned here for an internship, Li Zhen didn't think of her as a related customer at all.

Ye Xiaoxiao: “I bought it with money.”

Li Zhen is not that easy to fool. This place is far away from where you can buy things.

"The man who just sent me here bought it."

Li Zhen did see Jin Yu, but did not see him driving towards her.

But she didn't care about that much. Ye Xiaoxiao had a small red bucket here, and she scooped out two scoops of her own water.

"It's one dollar. Take a good look."

Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”

"The room to the south of us is a small kitchen with a pot in it. If you want to boil water, go there. But it's basically safe. We have plenty of firewood."

How can you say this shabby place is poor?

Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water; live by the desert, eat by the soil.

People in Bai Village can still hunt and chop wood.

Ye Xiaoxiao missed the firewood pile in the yard of her hometown.

"How do you take a bath normally?"

Li Zhen: "Water is so precious, why do you still take a bath? Just wipe it off. I only take a bath once every six months."

Ye Xiaoxiao knew that this was the nth time that 꿷꽭 had been shocked.

But she could also understand that she was the one who was silently digesting it.

It’s still the 21st century, we can install running water pipes in the desert.

"I want to rest for a while."

Ye Xiaoxiao just wants to lie down in her bed and take a nap.

Li Zhen carried her own bucket and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll call you when the cafeteria opens for dinner."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Thank you."

Although the other party is a water smuggler, he is a good person.

Ye Xiaoxiao closed the doors and windows, lay on the bed and slept for a while. When she woke up, the light was still on.

It's half past five in the afternoon, but it's not dark outside at all, it feels like evening.

Li Zhen came over and called Ye Xiaoxiao to come for dinner.

"This is the meal ticket the director gave you. Although you are an intern here, you have to apply for various welfare subsidies before you can get them. These meal tickets are distributed among the three of us. Remember to pay them back when the time comes."

Ye Xiaoxiao took the meal ticket and asked, "Do you have enough for this month?"

Li Zhen: "Not much. We used to have no more monthly meal tickets."

When it comes to food, the country will definitely treat the authors here harshly.

Ye Xiaoxiao took her lunch box and went to the cafeteria with Li Zhen.

When on the road, the most common people I saw were soldiers in military uniforms, and some well-groomed scientific researchers wearing glasses.

Many people along the way also looked here.

"Doctor Li, is there a new patient in your clinic?"

Those who knew Li Zhen greeted her warmly, but their eyes all fell on Ye Xiaoxiao.

It was obvious from the other person's demeanor that he was an old man here, and with his fair and clean face and clean clothes, he must have just arrived.

It is true that there are many hidden talents in this base, but most of the researchers don't even have time to eat, let alone wash their faces, when they start studying the data.

A soldier on guard duty once recalled that he saw the true face of these experts and professors when they first came to the base, and he was covered in dust and dirt the rest of the time.

Therefore, Ye Xiaoxiao may be the newcomer who has not suffered any setbacks yet.

Li Zhen waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go, go away, and stop asking about our clinic's affairs."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the soldiers in the base and really wanted to find out about Lu Hanchuan.

But she decided to settle herself first.

The cafeteria aunt's eyes lit up when she saw Ye Xiaoxiao, "Oh, here comes such a pretty girl, eat more, come back when you're full."

"Auntie, I ate so much."

Auntie: "Eat more, or the food will be blown away by the strong wind."

The cafeteria auntie's hands were shaking as expected, and Ye Xiaoxiao was worried as she looked at her lunch box full of potatoes and beans.

Li Zhen ate very happily, but Ye Xiaoxiao, in order to save food, hurriedly finished it.

The last half of the steamed bun was eaten by Li Zhen.

"What kind of stomach do you have? You're going to die of hunger in the house in the middle of the night."

Li Zhen still thinks she eats enough at every meal.

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Maybe I have no appetite just now."

Li Zhen: "Then you should have saved one steamed bun just now so you can eat it when you get hungry in the middle of the night."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Will this bad luck be bad?"

Li Zhen: "It's already dried up, how can it go bad?"

“…”

Ye Xiaoxiao packed up the lunch box, which had to be washed, but when she went back to wash the lunch box, Li Zhen felt that she was wasting too much water.

"If you want, I'll wash it for you."

Ye Xiaoxiao dodged, "I want it, you must be willing to spend water and then wash it clean."

Li Zhen seemed to have heard something funny. "I was born and raised here. How can I wash dishes?"

Ye Xiaoxiao: "This is a lunch box and this is a bowl."

Fortunately, the steamed buns and dishes for dinner were eaten cleanly, so the lunch box was easier to wash. Ye Xiaoxiao rinsed it with water and put it away.

At night, although you can take a shower, you must wash your face and feet.

The leaves are so slender that you can save some water.

"I know whether I will get water or not."

Li Zhen: "I can register you after I deliver the water tomorrow, so you don't have it tomorrow either.

But in addition to the water delivered by the troops, there are places where you can buy water.”

Ye Xiaoxiao listened attentively.

Li Zhen: "It's the residents nearby who raise camels at home. They would carry water from the water point in the town to sell at the gate of the base, but there are not many buyers.

If you buy a lot, you can order water and it will be delivered at a fixed time.

How... do you want me to make contact for you?"

Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head.

Li Zhen thought she had the city girl in her grasp. "Do you want to take a bath?"

Ye Xiaoxiao: "You went to contact them, probably because you wanted to be a middleman and make a profit. I guess buying water from the residents is definitely not as expensive as yours."

Ye Xiaoxiao was holding the footbath and was about to pour out the water.

Li Zhen stood up and said, "Although my price is high, my service is considerate. I delivered it to your room, while those people could only deliver it to the gate of the base."

Seeing that Ye Xiaoxiao was not moving, he prepared to go back to his room to sleep.

Li Zhen shouted again: "I can still boil water for you when I grow up. What's wrong with you letting me make some money?"

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't reply to the other party. She went into the house and closed the door in one go.

Seeing that the other party was really going to sleep, Li Zhen gave up promoting herself.

Yang Juan, who was passing by the yard, glanced at Li Zhen and said, "Don't bully others."

Li Zhen was convinced, "How could I bully her? She was planning to leave in two days, so I just wanted her to have fun."
