Chapter 26: Collecting Firewood



While they were working, the team leader came over from the male educated youth's side.

The four female educated youths were squatting in the yard working. He did not walk too far ahead and said to everyone directly: "It is already very late today. There is no way to build the whole yard. So for the time being, just open the back door of the house. We will definitely be able to build the wall tomorrow. You won't be too anxious, right?"

Su Qingxue and the other three female educated youths quickly shook their heads and said, "It's okay. We don't have to work tomorrow! It's fine if we can finish it tomorrow. We're not in a hurry. We will definitely have time to collect firewood for the winter anyway."

"I'm glad you're not in a hurry. I'll go over there and have them fix the door first, and then fix the wall."

Su Qingxue touched her stomach. She hadn't eaten much at noon. She was about to get off the train and had no time to eat. She could only eat something casually to fill her stomach.

After walking for such a long time, the little food we had eaten had long been digested, not to mention that we had not stopped since arriving at the educated youth point.

My stomach was already growling with hunger at this time.

Seeing that everyone else looked indifferent, I felt embarrassed to go find something to eat.

I went into the house and took a look. I found that the door in the middle of the house had been installed, and the door at the back was almost installed. All I had to do was block the gaps.

Su Qingxue planned to move all the furniture and luggage outside into the house after the door was fixed.

Find another excuse to go to the mountain to collect firewood and fill your stomach with the things in the space first.

I don’t know where the cowshed is, and I haven’t seen Su’s father and mother for several days.

I don’t know how they are doing now?

I'll go look for it again later. If I can find it, I'll take the sack of things that I packed for them in the space.

Bring them some food as well, including some milk powder and malted milk.

You've suffered a lot during this period, so eat something good to replenish your body.

After waiting for less than ten minutes, the two doors were done, and the only one left was the yard door.

Su Qingxue slowly placed the furniture into the house one by one.

First put a mat, and then put the two boxes directly on the kang, where you can also put your things.

The kang table is also placed in the corner of the kang, the small square table is placed directly opposite the kang, and the wardrobe is placed next to the kang.

I put the things in one by one, and then put the luggage on the kang.

He came out of the house carrying a backpack and locked the door immediately.

"Qingxue, where are you going?"

Never tell him that you want to go with me. That will be very inconvenient and you will have to find another opportunity next time.

Who knows what you fear will come true.

"I'm going to go collect some firewood. Even though I may not know how to cook, I still have to prepare in advance. It's not dark yet, so I might as well go to the hillside over here and take a look."

Wang Xiaomei said directly to Feng Xue beside her: "Help me look after the things in the house and the yard. I will also pick up some and share some with you when I come back."

Feng Xue was looking forward to it. It would be so comfortable to be at the educated youth camp!

You can get free firewood without going up the mountain. Isn't it just a matter of watching the luggage for a while?

No problem, you can watch it for two minutes.

"Okay, go ahead. I will definitely help you keep an eye on it. Nothing will be missing."

Su Qingxue was very disappointed, but she didn't show it.

It seems that there is no chance today, but it doesn’t matter, she can still find an opportunity tomorrow.

Anyway, they should go to town to buy things tomorrow. I have brought everything with me, so I don’t need to buy anything. I can take this opportunity to visit Su’s father and mother.

After thinking it through, Su Qingxue was no longer so conflicted.

"Okay, let's go now. We're not familiar with the place, so don't go too far. Let's go to the small hill next to it."

The two men carried backpacks and went straight up the mountain from the side of Su Qingxue's house. A path had already been created here. It was conceivable that the people in the educated youth point had often taken this path, after all, it was closer to the mountain.

The two men went up the mountain and felt that except for the firewood, they didn't recognize anyone else on the mountain.

Su Qingxue didn't even know which wild vegetables to pick, which made her feel particularly useless.

It seems that there is still a lot to learn!

"Xiaomei, can you cook?"

"Yes, cooking is not difficult, and the food I cook is quite delicious."

Wang Xiaomei said nothing, then looked at Su Qingxue suspiciously, with an expression that said, "Don't you know how to cook?"

"I can cook, but the food I cook tastes terrible. Next time you cook, I'll come and watch and learn from you."

"Okay, then you can watch me do it. I promise you'll learn it quickly. When I first started learning to cook, in order to cook the rice and vegetables, I just poured them into the pot, added a little water, put in the seasonings, and simmered them until they were cooked. If you can't learn it, you can also use this method. I think it tastes pretty good anyway."

That would just be cooking rice with water!

However, it must be said that this is also a method.

"Okay, I'll try it then."

People may often come to this small hill to collect firewood. The two of them have been together for more than ten minutes, but they still haven't filled their backpacks.

"It seems that we two have to separate for a while. It would be really embarrassing if we go back without filling the basket."

Wang Xiaomei didn't care. "Sure. It's getting dark soon. Don't go too far. It's best to walk within a distance where we can be heard if we shout. Besides, we are unfamiliar with the place. It would be bad if we get lost."
