Chapter 40: Eat Salty Radishes and Don’t Worry



Song Fuyu pricked up his ears to listen to what was happening outside. It must be that Mo Juan couldn't control her mouth again and started to argue.

She really didn't know how to evaluate this person. He was simply so stupid.

Who is the captain?

The highest official in Shanhe Village!

Basically, all matters in the village are under his control. She doesn't want to please him or rush to show off to offend him.

Even if the captain is fair and just, it is possible that he will make things difficult for the other party when he is extremely angry.

"Youyou, why don't we choose the end of the kang? My quilt is thicker, so I'm not afraid of the cold, but I'm afraid of the heat."

"Besides, the kang is facing the door, so people will be seen when we go in and out, which is not good."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two of them placed their luggage directly at the end of the kang.

Among the remaining cabinets, I picked two adjacent ones to store other items.

When the luggage arrives later, she will have to secretly take out two locks.

After all, one must be on guard against others, especially when living with someone like Mo Juan. Besides, no one knows what the situation is with the other four female educated youth, so it is safer to lock the door.

After putting their things away, they left the room.

Outside, Mo Juan and the captain were still arguing. Although Ye Feixue didn't say anything, the expression on her face was very obvious. She didn't want to sleep at the same time.

The biggest difference between her and Mo Juan is that she knows Mo Juan's character very well, so she often secretly adds fuel to the fire, allowing Mo Juan, who has an explosive personality, to come to the fore, while she quietly reaps the benefits.

However, they didn't get anything good along the way and were always in a disadvantaged state.

At this time, Song Fuyu could clearly feel that the captain's face was almost getting darker.

At times like this, she usually wouldn't step forward to help, as most of the time it would be a thankless task.

Anyway, she has already chosen the seat, so what the two of them do is none of her business.

"Captain Wang, I don't think my request is excessive. It's nothing more than asking for a reallocation of beds."

"I suggest you go directly to the Youth League Office and ask to be reassigned to a new village. Our Shanhe Village may not be able to accommodate a Buddha like you."

Wang Zhiyong saw Song Fuyu and the others putting their things away and coming out. He stopped paying attention to Mo Juan and walked towards them.

"Do you have any problem with the beds?"

"Uncle Wang, we have no objection. We chose the position at the end of the kang among the remaining beds."

"Okay, wait a moment, Wu Feng will bring your luggage over later."

After saying that, he went to the room on the right where the male educated youth were.

The boys had absolutely no complaints.

There are not many people on their side, including the two new people, there are only five people in total. They can move around and sleep anywhere.

After sitting and waiting for a while, Wu Feng drove the tractor back to the gate of the Youth League Home.

"The luggage has arrived, come and take it away."

Song Fuyu walked out quickly.

While on the train, she learned from Tong Youyou that most people only checked in their quilts, and some even brought their quilts directly onto the train to save money.

It seemed that she was the only one there, and all her luggage was checked in.

She and Tong Youyou moved the things back and forth four times before they finally moved all the things back to the room.

"Sister Fu Yu, you have too many things."

"Um... I didn't expect there would be so many. They were all prepared for me by my family."

"Your family is so good to you."

Seeing so many things, Tong Youyou was a little envious. There were several thick clothes and fleece-lined shoes, which looked warm.

Mo Juan and Ye Feixue, who were making the beds at the head of the kang, had just been turned down by the captain when it came to their choice of beds. Now seeing that Song Fuyu had so much luggage, they both felt even angrier.

The difference is that one person's anger shows on his face, while the other hides it in his heart.

"Your family treats you so well and is so rich, why don't they buy you a job in the city?"

"Maybe you have to go to the countryside just to show off your wealth."

Mo Juan spoke in a sarcastic tone while spreading the quilt.

"It's none of your business."

Song Fuyu now completely disregards any issues of getting along with others. Anyway, there is no possibility of any friendly relationship with such a person.

Give her some color and she will open a dyeing factory for you and become even more arrogant.

"Feixue, are you guys done packing?"

"Captain Wang told us to follow him to the village committee to get food."

Xiao Jun's voice sounded outside.

When he heard that they were going to collect food, Song Fuyu quickened the pace of packing his things.

The things that her godfather prepared for her were very complete.

Everything you need for food, clothing and daily necessities is available.

Except for the coal stove and pot, it has basically everything you can think of.

Her own cabinet was full, so she had to use Tong Youyou's cabinet to barely fit all the things in.

Close the cabinet door and neatly hang two locks on it.

"Oh my god, Sister Fu Yu, you simply have a treasure chest. You even have things like chains."

"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it."

"If I don't lock it, I won't feel at ease. I have to worry all the time while working whether my things will be lost."

"Song Fuyu, what do you mean!"

As soon as she said this, Mo Juan exploded, and even Ye Feixue looked at her with anger on her face.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"Why are you so excited? Or are you really thinking about something of mine?"

"No one would care about your little thing."

She had indeed thought about checking some of her things while she was away, but when she heard her say that the door was locked to prevent thieves, she felt uncomfortable.

Tong Youyou has a good relationship with her, and Ye Feixue's family is well off, so she is incomparable to anyone else. It is obvious that they are trying to guard against her and treat her like a thief.

"It's best if you don't care about it. If you do, I might accidentally chop off your hand."

After saying that, he looked at her with cold eyes.

Mo Juan touched her hand unconsciously.

"I don't care about your stuff."

"If you are going to the countryside, then go there. Why bring so many things with you? If you don't know me, you might think you are here to enjoy life."

Song Fuyu was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore.

People like this are just sour grapes because they can't eat them.

After packing up their things, several people followed Captain Wang to the village committee.

"In the first three months after you go to the countryside, you can receive 30 kilograms of raw grain each month. Among them, 5 kilograms of fine grains and 25 kilograms of coarse grains. After that, you will have to work and earn work points on your own."

"Ah? So little? Didn't they say it would be paid out every year?"

"What if there's not enough food?"

Captain Wang saw that it was this person named Mo Juan who was looking for trouble again, and replied in a cold tone: "This is the rule in our Shanhe Village. The educated youth who came here before were all issued in this way."

"If you don't have enough food, you can buy it yourself, or you can borrow it from the village and pay it back with work points at the end of the year."

"You can take a day off tomorrow, and then go back to work the day after tomorrow."

After saying this, he distributed the food to them and walked out.

It was said that there were 30 kilograms of raw grain, but in fact, after removing the husk, there were only a little over 20 kilograms.

It won’t fill you up, but it will ensure you don’t starve to death.

In this era, it is considered very good.

Song Fuyu carried the food and walked back slowly, looking around and silently observing the situation in the village.

Most of them are yellow adobe houses.

There seems to be a gray brick house not far away. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the captain's house.

When walking back to the Youth League Home, I suddenly saw a separate small house about 70 or 80 meters behind the home. It seemed that it had not been built for very long.

The Youth House is obviously a little far from the houses in the village. Who would build a separate house nearby? And it was made of bricks.

Could it be that he is also an educated youth like them?
