Chen Yu replied with a smile, "Yes, everyone, let's give it our all!"
The materials gathering group was also busy, searching throughout the village for suitable hay and cloth to make mattresses. Several educated youths visited a villager's home and explained their purpose. The villager was very hospitable, leading them to his warehouse and taking out some old cloth.
"Take these fabrics; they're all salvaged from old clothes, but they're still usable. Hopefully, they can make your dorm room more comfortable," the villager said with a smile.
The educated youth gratefully accepted the fabric: "Thank you, sir! You're so kind."
After a full day of hard work, the educated youth dormitory has undergone significant changes. The clutter has been cleared away, most of the windows have been repaired, and the collected hay and cloth are piled up to make mattresses.
In the evening, the educated youth sat around in the courtyard. Although everyone was tired, their faces were full of smiles.
Lin Yue looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Everyone has worked hard today, and our efforts have paid off. In the next few days, we will continue to complete the remaining work and maintain the cleanliness."
One of the educated youth joked, "Lin Yue, with you here, our lives will definitely get better and better. You're like our patriarch."
Lin Yue replied with a smile, "What patriarch? We're all just trying to make life better. Besides, once we've improved the dormitories for educated youth, we can share our experience with the villagers so that everyone can live more comfortably."
Chen Yu nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, our goal is to make the whole village a better place. This is just the beginning."
Over the next few days, the educated youth continued their efforts to improve the dormitory. Mattresses were made, making the beds more comfortable. Some simple storage cabinets were also added to the dormitory, making the room tidier.
News of the newly renovated dormitories for educated youth quickly spread throughout the village. Villagers flocked to visit, marveling at the changes.
A villager exclaimed in surprise, "Is this still the same dirty and messy dormitory for educated youth? It's so clean and comfortable now!"
Aunt Liu said with a smile, "This is all thanks to Lin Yue and the other educated youth. They are so thoughtful."
Looking at the villagers who had come to visit, Lin Yue had a new idea. She said to Chen Yu, "Chen Yu, seeing how interested the villagers are in the educated youth dormitory, we can extend our plan to improve living conditions to the whole village. For example, we can teach the villagers some basic hygiene knowledge so that everyone can work together to improve their living environment."
Chen Yu's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. We can start with water source protection and garbage disposal to make the village cleaner and healthier."
So Lin Yue and Chen Yu got busy again with the overall improvement plan for the village. They organized a village meeting, where they introduced the importance of hygiene and living environment to health and shared their experience in renovating the dormitories for educated youth.
The villagers were very interested in hearing this, but some of them raised questions.
A villager asked, "Lin Yue, we know that cleanliness is a good thing, but we don't have enough materials to renovate our houses."
Lin Yue smiled and replied, "Grandpa, we don't necessarily need to use new materials. Just like the educated youth collected old fabrics to make mattresses, we can make use of the resources that are already available in the village. For example, we can weave some curtains from the reeds by the river to block the dust, and use stones and mud to repair the cracks in the houses."
The villagers listened and nodded in agreement. They then began to discuss how to improve their living environment based on their own circumstances.
Lin Yue and Chen Yu watched the villagers actively discussing the issue, their hearts filled with hope. They knew it would be a long and arduous process, but as long as everyone worked together, the village would definitely get better and better. In this process, they would not only have to face material difficulties, but also change some of the villagers' traditional ideas, but they were confident because they had already seen the villagers' yearning for a better life in their eyes.
In the days that followed, the village was bustling with activity. Some villagers were washing their clothes and farm tools by the river, with children helping to fetch water. Others were repairing their houses, neighbors helping each other, their laughter echoing throughout the village. Lin Yue and Chen Yu moved from corner to corner, guiding the villagers in their renovations. Their figures became the warmest sight in the village, and their efforts brought new vitality and hope to the village.
