Su Ruoli looked at the others. Everyone had eaten at least two pancakes. Wang Yanfen ate the most, a large bowl of vegetables, four or five pancakes, and finally two bowls of soup. It was as if she hadn't eaten in hundreds of years.
After the meal, an old educated youth stood up and said, "My name is Zhou Zhihao, and I'm the person in charge of the educated youth site. You can tell me if you have any problems in the future." Then he pointed to the female educated youth next to Zhang Sitong.
"She's Li Yan, the leader of the female educated youth. Everyone, please introduce yourselves. Don't be confused about who's who when you meet in the future. Let the veteran educated youth start first!"
Then someone stood up and said, "My name is Gao Hanning, and I've been here for eight years."
"My name is Qi Yindi. You probably know my name by now. I've been here for three years."
"My name is Zhou Lan. Wang Xiaohua and I built a yard together, right next to the educated youth center."
"I'm Wang Xiaohua. Zhou Lan and I have been here for three years."
"My name is Zhao Zhimei, and I rented a house from a villager."
"My name is Liu Mei..."
"My name is Liu Ruifang..."
"My name is Zhang Zhaodi..."
"Wang Yanfen..."
"Zhu Ping..."
"Sun Guangyan..."
Soon everyone finished introducing themselves. There were thirteen female educated youth and twelve male educated youth in total.
The female educated youth included Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong, and five of them did not live at the educated youth site.
There were also five male educated youth who did not live at the educated youth site. Among them, they were: Zhou Zhihao, Gao Hanning, Zhang Guotao, Xu Jinwei, Li Xiaoning, Wang Yuze, and Huang Deren.
Qi Heng, Bai Huijian and Du Zhicun also built a house together next to Zhou Lan and Wang Xiaohua's house, and Xu Fei and Yang Weixing rented a house from a villager.
After they got to know each other, Zhou Zhihao said, "You are new here, so you don't have to work tomorrow, so you can get ready.
Those who wanted to go to the commune had to wait for the ox cart at the village entrance at six o'clock every morning, or they could wait until the seventeenth of every month, when the village tractor would go to the commune, but they had to pay.
A round trip by oxcart costs 8 cents. If it only goes and doesn't come back, or only comes back and doesn't go out, then it's 4 cents each time. A round trip by tractor costs 15 cents, so 8 cents per trip.
The educated youth were also allowed one day off every month, but they had to greet the team leader. That's all I remember now. Li Yan, do you have anything else to add?
"Then we start work at 5:30 in the morning. You'll hear the bell, have breakfast at 8, and then continue working at 9. We'll work until 12 o'clock. You can come back and rest for a while. We'll start work at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and finish at 6:30. After that, there's nothing else to do."
Zhou Zhihao looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late now. You should go back. We've already rested. We still have to work tomorrow."
Then everyone living outside walked out.
Su Ruoli looked at her watch. It was already seven o'clock. She pulled Zhang Sitong back. When they arrived at the door, they saw Liu Gui and another man waiting there. There were two carts in front of them, and on them were the furniture they had selected.
Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong quickly opened the gate, "Sorry, uncle, I'm late and kept you waiting."
Several people lifted and moved the furniture, and in no time they put all the furniture into the room.
After seeing Liu Gui and his son off, Su Ruoli asked, "Sitong, which room are you staying in?"
"I'm fine with either. They all have the same stuff inside. Which one do you want?"
"Then I'll take the side room, you take the middle one, and we'll decorate the remaining room so whoever has relatives over can stay in whichever room. How do you think?"
"Okay, then I'll help you move your things over. Ruoli, are you going to the commune tomorrow? I want to pick something up from the post office. The package from my family should have arrived."
"Okay, let's go together. We also need to see if the supply and marketing cooperative has any iron pots. There's nothing in the kitchen. We need to cook for ourselves, so we need to go shopping."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that. Ruoli, you're amazing. You even remember this."
After moving the luggage back to the room, Su Ruoli packed it up roughly, locked the door from the inside, and went into the space to sleep. She had a good sleep in the space. When she came out of the space, she found that only more than two hours had passed, but she felt that she had slept for at least eight hours.
It was 8:42 when she entered the space, and it was only a little after 11 o'clock now. The speed of time flow in the space must be different from that outside. She discovered it when she was on the train, but there was no time for her to verify it at that time.
Su Ruoli went in and out more than ten times, and finally determined the speed of time flow in space and outside: four minutes in space and one minute outside.
That means four hours in space and only one hour outside, so she will have more time to study and do other things.
It was still early, so she began to explore the space. She walked for a long time but still couldn't reach the end of the space. It seemed as if the space had no end.
Tired of walking, Su Ruoli returned to the third floor of the supermarket, drank a cup of milk tea, ate a hamburger, and after being full, she continued to stroll around the space.
There is a large area of black soil in front of the space cabin, but she doesn’t have any seeds now, otherwise she could grow vegetables. There are no seeds in the supermarket either, so she will go to the seed station to buy some seeds tomorrow.
There is also a vacant lot behind the house where they live now. When they have time, they will grow vegetables there, otherwise they will have nothing to eat. They can't eat potatoes every day.
There are no trees on the mountains in the space. She will plant fruit trees there in the future, and then she will be able to achieve fruit freedom. It makes her happy just thinking about it.
After staying in the space long enough and washing up, I returned to the room. It was already past five o'clock, and the ox cart would not arrive until half past six. I lay on the bed in the room for a while, and then I heard a knock on the door.
