Chapter 67 Is this house habitable?
These educated youths all came from the city, and most of them were raised in a docile environment. Now they can't stay in this environment for even a minute.
In fact, there is no place to live in the village. The previous batch of educated youths also lived here. This is an abandoned house. Maybe livestock was raised there before, so it has some smell.
But before the educated youths came, the village chief had organized people to clean up the place. In their opinion, it is clean and tidy now.
Li Yiyi took the lead in complaining: "Is this house habitable?"
Fang Zhengzhou was also very dissatisfied with the environment, but before leaving home, he received a warning from his father: "This time when you go to the countryside, you must not cause trouble for me! The countryside is not like home, you have to endure all kinds of hardships! Don't complain, and take good care of Yiyi. Your father will be promoted to battalion commander soon, and there must be no mistakes!"
Fang Zhengzhou walked into the crowd: "Everyone should be fully prepared before coming here To manage construction, we don’t go to the countryside to enjoy the blessings. No matter how you are treated at home, now that we are here, we must follow the village’s requirements. If you can’t bear the hardship, speak up as soon as possible so that I can report it to you. "
We all chatted a lot on the way here. We all know that Fang Zhengzhou and Li Yiyi's family is not simple, and we don't dare to provoke them too much. Moreover, Fang Zhengzhou is still the captain, so we must listen to what he says, otherwise everyone in the family will be punished!
Li Yiyi looked unhappy. The environment in front of her was really unexpected. She thought she was going to suffer, but she didn't expect to be severely intimidated from the resting place...
After Fang Zhengzhou inspected the yard, he called Li Yiyi over and said, "Yiyi, you live in the south room."
There were six rooms in the yard. The female educated youth were arranged in the three rooms facing southwest, and the male educated youth were arranged in the three rooms facing northeast. Among them, Fang Zhengzhou reserved the best one for Li Yiyi.
Facing south, it was completely sunny and the room was very bright.
Li Yiyi was very satisfied with Fang Zhengzhou's arrangement. She walked into the house and sat down: "That's about right."
Fang Zhengzhou smiled and said, "Each room should accommodate two people. I'll arrange an honest room for you."
Upon hearing this, Li Yiyi was unhappy: "What? Two people need to live in such a small room?"
Fang Zhengzhou: "There's no way. There are only so many rooms. Each room should accommodate several people. Some rooms should accommodate three people. If I give you a room by yourself, what will others think? Especially other female educated youth. It will be troublesome for them to trouble you when the time comes."
That's true. She won't be here for too long. Although she is not afraid of trouble, she doesn't want trouble to come to her!
Li Yiyi sighed, "Oh... OK then."
The person Fang Zhengzhou arranged for Li Yiyi to live with was called Xu Duoduo. Although she came from Beijing, her family conditions were not good, and she only stayed in Beijing because of the favor of the older generation.
After hearing Fang Zhengzhou's arrangement, Xu Duoduo was stunned.
On the way here, everyone heard about Li Yiyi's family background and wanted to get close to her, but Li Yiyi didn't buy it at all and looked very noble.
Xu Duoduo was a timid and cautious girl. She followed her parents to find work outside since she was a child. She had seen too many people's faces, but she didn't expect that she would have to continue to live a life of seeing people's faces in the next village. Fang Zhengzhou
saw that Xu Duoduo didn't move, so he shouted, "Xu Duoduo? What are you doing? Carry your things and walk!"
Hearing the captain's reminder, she hurriedly followed with her luggage.
Li Yiyi was sitting in the room sorting things out. She saw Xu Duoduo wearing a patched coarse cloth and carrying two large packages in her hands. They were all quilts and sheets made of rags. She looked very nervous.
Xu Duoduo said timidly, "Hello... Hello, I... My name is Xu Duoduo."
Li Yiyi saw that she looked nervous and smiled, "Why are you panicking? I don't eat people! Hello, my name is Li Yiyi."
Xu Duoduo: "Yeah, I know."
Li Yiyi was amused by her. She was really an honest person. It seemed that living with her should not be a difficult thing.
Xu Duoduo saw that there were two beds in the room, and the larger one was already occupied by Li Yiyi, so she went to the small bed against the wall. Although the bed was only big enough for one person, it was good enough for Xu Duoduo. Before, there were only two rooms at home, her parents lived in one room, and she and her sister squeezed into a small room.
Now she has a bed that belongs to her alone, and Xu Duoduo is very happy. There
is no wardrobe in the room, only two wooden boxes. Li Yiyi put all her things in the wooden boxes. She brought a lot of things with her, and there was still some space left in the two large wooden boxes.
After all, she was the apple of her family's eye. When she left, her family prepared all kinds of clothes and food for her, including two bottles of vanishing cream and shampoo, as well as food and meat coupons.
Before she left, Li Yiyi's parents repeatedly reminded her that they would send things once a month and told her not to save them and not be reluctant to use them.
Compared to Li Yiyi, Xu Duoduo brought very few things. Seeing that there were no wooden boxes left, she didn't care. She only brought bedding and a few changes of clothes, plus a bowl and chopsticks, and that was it.
Seeing how little Xu Duoduo brought, Li Yiyi smiled and said, "Duoduo, why didn't you bring anything?"
Hearing Li Yiyi's words, Xu Duoduo's face immediately turned red: "I... I don't have anything to bring, these are enough."
In a blink of an eye, he saw Li Yiyi's bed. The quilt was very soft at first glance, and there was a pillow stuffed with cotton. How comfortable it would be to sleep on it! The bed sheet with floral prints must be very comfortable to sleep on.
Xu Duoduo was so envious that she looked back at her bed and was too embarrassed to get up...
Li Yiyi picked up a bottle of vanishing cream and walked to Xu Duoduo: "Here, it's for you, take it." Xu Duoduo
didn't expect Li Yiyi to do this, and hurriedly shook her hands and said: "For me? No, no, I don't need it. You can keep such a good thing!"
Li Yiyi stuffed the vanishing cream into her hand: "I have more, and my mother sends me some every month. Look at your face, it's so chapped. How can a girl ruin her face like this?"
After hearing what Li Yiyi said, Xu Duoduo embarrassedly reached out and touched her chapped cheeks. It was already May, and normally it would only be so dry in winter, but her face was caused by getting up early and going out in the dark every day.
Before, Xu Duoduo didn't dare to look at this young lady carefully. Now, looking at her from such a close distance, her skin is white and translucent, her big eyes are shining, her eyelashes are as beautiful as small fans, and her cherry lipstick is moist... Xu Duoduo
couldn't help but say, "She is so beautiful..."
Li Yiyi, who was about to turn around, laughed out loud when she heard her words: "Hahaha, are you talking about me?"
Xu Duoduo took the vanishing cream she gave him and said, "Yes."
Li Yiyi smiled and said, "Dress up well, and you will look good!"
Hearing Li Yiyi's words, Xu Duoduo felt a warm current passing through his heart, and he felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.
