Oh my god, this is not easy.
As for Zhu Guixia, ahem, she was moving the three of them's luggage down.
Li Xianjin was only thirty years old, and it was inevitable that some people would be dissatisfied with him becoming a team leader at such a young age. So in order to make himself look more mature, he had habitually walked with his hands behind his back and his face pursed. When he got to the front, he glanced at Xu Dahe, "Where's Gu Changqing? He didn't go?"
"He disappeared as soon as we entered the village. He must have gone home." Xu Dahe said.
Li Xianjin nodded, then glanced at the four female educated youth and frowned, "Why are there four more female educated youth?"
Including the five who had arrived, there were a total of twenty-two educated youth in the village, but only eight were male, the rest were all female. Educated youth weren't very good at work to begin with, and female ones were even less so. But with four females arriving at once, it was strange for them to be happy.
Bai Ruozhen looked up at Li Xianjin and thought that it was no wonder that this man was a relative of Gu Changqing, as they spoke in the same tone.
As if realizing that his words were inappropriate, Li Xianjin coughed and pointed to the westernmost room. "You four can live in that room. It's been cleaned up and has a kang (bamboo bed) inside. You can go up the mountain to collect firewood to heat the kang. As for food, go to the team and get some in advance. You can pay it back after the wheat harvest and distribution."
But then he realized that the four young women couldn't carry the food, so he said to Xu Dahe, "You take the mule cart to the team and get them some food."
Xu Dahe responded and left.
Li Xianjin called into the house again, "Li Aihong, come out."
Someone in the room answered, and then a young woman wearing a coarse cloth and pigtails came out, "Captain."
Li Xianjin said, "This is a new educated youth. Please keep an eye on him if anything happens in the future."
Li Aihong quickly responded.
After saying this, Li Xianjin walked away with his hands behind his back. Li Aihong glanced at them and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and move your things in."
Bai Ruozhen glanced at her and smiled, "Thank you, sister."
Li Aihong smiled and said, "It's quite beautiful."
Bai Ruozhen pursed his lips and smiled.
"Flatterer." Zhao Lai Di didn't dare to provoke Bai Ruozhen and muttered softly.
Bai Ruozhen pretended not to hear and said to Li Aihong with a smile, "Sister Aihong is pretty too."
This sentence made Li Aihong very happy. She asked, "Where is your luggage? Let me help you move it."
That was a good feeling, Bai Ruozhen pointed and said, "They are all mine."
Li Aihong looked at her in surprise and said, "Okay, I'll help you." There were quite a lot of things, so she must not have suffered at home.
"Thank you, Sister Aihong." Bai Ruozhen said nice things for free and was very sweet-mouthed.
Zhao Lai Di curled her lips and snorted.
Bai Ruozhen hurriedly carried the bedding and a bag full of miscellaneous daily necessities into the house, and so did Feng Qiujuan and Zhu Guixia.
After entering the house, Bai Ruozhen took a look around. Whether it was her feeling or the original owner's memory, it was: it was too shabby. How could it be so poor? There was not even a bed.
There was a broken table and two stools in the middle of the room, and next to the bed was a strange object covered with newspapers.
Bai Ruozhen put the things down and asked Li Aihong in a low voice, "Sister Aihong, what is this?"
Li Aihong smiled and said, "This is a kang. It's very warm to sleep on it with a fire burning."
Bai Ruozhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really?"
"Country bumpkin." Zhao Lai Di muttered again.
Bai Ruozhen pretended not to hear and asked Li Aihong how to deal with it.
Li Aihong said, "This kang is spacious, and the four of you can sleep there. You can choose your own position."
Although she said this, she casually placed Bai Ruozhen's bag at the end of the kang. Bai Ruozhen blinked and said, "Then I'll sleep here." Then he took his bedding over.
Bai Ruozhen chose the end of the kang, but it was impossible for Zhao Laidie to choose the end of the kang, so she chose the head of the kang. Zhu Guixia and Zhao Laidie disliked each other and naturally would not sleep together, so Feng Qiujuan and Zhao Laidie sat next to each other.
However, the kang was quite spacious, and Zhao Lai Di didn't want to sit next to these three people, so she moved the bedding to the head of the kang.
Li Aihong couldn't help but say, "It's too hot at night if you sit too close to the kang."
"I'm not afraid of heat, I'm afraid of cold." Zhao Lai Di said as she spread out the bedding.
Seeing that she didn't appreciate it, Li Aihong stopped trying to persuade them and said to them, "It's winter now and we're not busy. Just wait for the team leader to arrange what needs to be done. As for meals, since there are so many of us female educated youth, we have two kitchens for cooking. We take turns cooking and distribute the food in proportion to the amount of food we were allocated."
Bai Ruozhen glanced at Zhu Guixia and Feng Qiujuan, and felt very unwilling to be in the same group with Zhao Laidie.
Moreover, she can cook, but she can't light the fire, and she can't wash vegetables either. She must be in a group with Zhu Guixia and Feng Qiujuan.
Li Aihong finished speaking and said, "Okay, you guys clean up first. Lunch is over so you can just eat something first and we'll talk about it during dinner. I'm going back first."
After Li Aihong left, several people started to take out their own food to eat. Zhao Laidie reluctantly took out the sweet potato that had been left out for two days, took a bite, and frowned.
Zhu Guixia and Feng Qiujuan also took out food to eat. Zhu Guixia took a careful bite of the sweet potato, as if she was eating some delicious food. Her reaction was completely different from Zhao Laidie's, which made Bai Ruozhen feel emotional.
Bai Ruozhen opened the bag, took out the last egg, and then took out a large steamed bun, broke it in half, and handed the remaining half to Zhu Guixia, saying, "Sister Xia, this steamed bun is for you."
Zhu Guixia looked at the steamed buns, surprised for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I'll just eat sweet potatoes, they're delicious."
"Pretending." Zhao Lai Di's eyes widened when she saw the white flour buns. It would be so nice if she could have a bite. Unfortunately, her relationship with Bai Ruozhen was too bad, so she couldn't eat it even if she wanted to.
