Chapter 97 Conch Girl
The yard they were allocated was actually very close to their forest farm.
It takes about ten minutes to walk from where I live to the forest farm.
It can be seen that the forest farm takes good care of them.
In fact, there are not many workers in the forest farm now, and there are more people than people in this yard. There are only two groups of educated youth living in this yard, and basically they occupy five rooms.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu lived in one room, and the remaining four rooms were occupied by male educated youth.
Roughly distributed.
The eleven people were divided into three rooms.
He Aiguo and Song Moting live in one room.
Everyone was busy cleaning up their own dormitories, so Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu's room was spacious this time.
This is a big bunk bed, even if two people roll around on it, they can't touch each other.
Jiang Xiaoxiao still chose to place the kang cabinet against the wall, and put a kang table between the two of them, so that they could eat and study on weekdays.
A little manual labor is also fine.
The whole house was tidy up by the two girls.
However, the house has not been occupied for many years, so it is a bit damp recently.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu went out to look for Song Moting, He Aiguo and others.
Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally knew that the first snow would probably fall in this mountain in half a month.
By then, the snow will be getting heavier, and even if they want to burn firewood in the forest farm, they will have to go up the mountain to collect it.
It was impossible for firewood to come to the yard by itself while they sat in the house, so they had to store fuel for the winter.
As soon as they walked out of the house, they saw Song Moting and He Aiguo changing clothes with the male educated youth, holding axes and ropes and preparing to go up the mountain.
It seems that they have come to the same idea.
"We were planning to go look for you guys. We're going up the mountain to chop firewood. Winter is coming soon, and we need to stock up on firewood for the winter. You two girls should not go up the mountain. You should stay in the house and clean up the kitchen to cook for everyone.
As for the rations, we have already carried them up here. Let's just make do with this, and it will be our first meal."
Song Moting had already thought about it, and naturally he would take better care of the two female educated youth.
It’s not that they shouldn’t work in the future, but this kind of heavy work is naturally what men should do.
It’s better for the girls to stay here and cook. After all, cooking is not a strong point for grown men like them.
It would be better if we divide the work and cooperate with each other.
Everyone does what they are good at, no one interferes with anyone else, and they cooperate well with each other.
Jiang Xiaoxiao agreed when she heard it.
There were eleven grown men going up the mountain to chop wood, so why would they need two young girls? It was really correct for them to stay behind to cook.
Watching Song Moting and the others leave.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others also ran directly to the kitchen in the yard. There was a single kitchen in the yard.
In fact, there are many advantages to a forest farm. For example, the workers in the forest farm originally made many cupboards in the kitchen. To put it bluntly, there is no shortage of furniture here.
All the food and other things have been moved in recently.
The stove is a big stove.
To put it simply, it is an earthen stove.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu are both capable people. Jia Shu is supposed to do housework at home, and Jiang Xiaoxiao has naturally done a lot of housework in her previous life, so she is naturally familiar with this kind of work.
The two of them worked together to clean the house first. After clearing away all the cobwebs and dust, the whole house became much cleaner.
The two men calculated the rations and found that each of them received 100 kilograms of cornmeal, 10 kilograms of flour, and 10 kilograms of rice.
This amount of food is not small, and they will have to eat it until next summer's harvest.
By this calculation, there are still more than six months left.
This amount of food is not enough to last for more than six months.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was not worried, because there were many things in her space, but grain and vegetables were the most abundant.
When the time comes, we can secretly put some of it in the grain and naturally they will have food to eat.
But she didn't do so at this moment, because Jia Shu was right next to her, and it wouldn't be too scary if she suddenly took out these things.
When they arrived at the forest farm, the director of the forest farm brought the workers to visit them and was very welcoming.
After all, these educated youth did have a sense of superiority compared to these workers who could not read a single word.
The educated youth.
The director of the forest farm directly brought people to deliver 100 cabbages and 100 kilograms of radishes to them.
They planted this themselves in the fall. In addition to doing this kind of work, the workers in their forest farm also grow some vegetables and food for their own families to improve their lives.
We can't always eat from the same pot.
Although the communal meals provided enough food, they still had to get some things themselves to improve their lives.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was extremely grateful. She was just worrying about not being able to take out the vegetables she saw, and now this other person had given her a ready-made excuse.
After seeing off the director and workers of the forest farm, the two of them started cooking.
There was no time to cook anything else, so Jiang Xiaoxiao cooked a big pot of rice and fried cabbage and shredded radish.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to cook there while Jia Shu was not paying attention.
She took out a few bundles of green onions and added some cabbage to the Chinese cabbage.
Anyway, Jia Shu didn't pay any attention at all. She only knew that the manager and others had delivered the food, but she didn't know what the food was.
When Song Moting and the others came back, they smelled the fragrance of food and suddenly felt like they were back home.
This feels different from the cafeteria, as if someone has prepared meals for them at home.
The eleven of them were not idle. After all, they were all strong guys, and they worked very vigorously and efficiently.
In just a short while, a lot of firewood was chopped down from the mountain, and most of the yard was piled up neatly.
At this rate, they will probably have enough firewood for the winter in two days.
Washed my face.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu have already called them to eat.
The kitchen is a very spacious room, and people probably used to eat here.
Mainly from the huge round wooden table and a few benches, you can tell that the original farm and forestry workers also ate here.
This saves a lot of trouble, as I don't have to go to bed.
Everyone held a lunch box.
Seeing the Chinese cabbage and shredded radish, several people were surprised, but they remembered that they only got food rations and not any vegetables.
"Could it be that you two are the conch fairy? How can you actually create cabbages and radishes?"
Song Moting joked.
Jia Shu smiled.
"Yes, we are fairies in heaven. You have to be nice to us, otherwise the fairies will punish you."
It was the first time that Jia Shu made a joke. Usually, she was a reserved person.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was so happy.
He Aiguo glanced at Jia Shu.
You're actually joking.
"Yes! Fairy, how dare we offend the fairies? From now on, we have to ask the fairies to prepare our meals. If the fairies are unhappy, we will go hungry. Don't you think so?"
Everybody burst into laughter.
"Okay, stop making a fuss. These are sent by the director of the forest farm. They are also taking care of us educated youth and sending us some cabbage, green onions, white radishes and so on. The director of the forest farm also said that we have a cellar in our yard, and we can store the cabbage, radishes and so on in the cellar. Otherwise, they will freeze in the winter."
Jiang Xiaoxiao explained.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Not to mention that we are all very grateful to these people.
They are living a good life now.
