Chapter 69: Packing



After the rooms were assigned, everyone carried their luggage into the room to pack. Tong Yiya also carried her things into the girls' room. When she entered, she saw a large bunk bed that could sleep about five or six people.

Tong Yiya chose a seat near the inside, put down her luggage, and touched the kang. It didn't seem very dirty, and it seemed that the villagers had just cleaned it a few days ago.

She took out a few old newspapers from her bag and spread them on her seat. Wang Qian, who was standing next to her, saw that she had newspapers and wanted to ask her for some.

But thinking about the bad things he had said about others two days ago, he was too embarrassed to ask. Lu Dandan beside him ignored him and asked directly: "Hey, Tong Zhiqing, can you give me some of your newspapers?"

"No" Tong Yiya gave her two words without even raising her head.

When Lu Dandan heard this, she was furious. She stood up and pointed at her and said, "How is that possible? I just saw that you still had some in your bag."

Tong Yiya stopped making the bed, looked up at her and asked, "Oh~ Do I have to give it to you just because I have some left?"

Lu Dandan was frightened by her sudden look, but after hearing her words, she couldn't control her hot temper and said, "What's wrong with you lending us some more? We are all on the same mission to go to the countryside, so shouldn't we help each other? You are destroying our unity."

When Tong Yiya heard her talking about them, she thought that they were really smart. As soon as they realized something was wrong, they immediately pulled everyone to their side. By then, she alone could not argue with three people.

Before she even opened her mouth, Zhang Qian next to her said, "Tong Zhiqing, I think your waste newspapers are not worth much. How about this, you lend us some first, and when we have time to go to the town's waste station, we'll return it to you then."

Oh no, here comes someone who wants to smooth things over. They will pay it back when the time comes. She knows it very well. If she really lends it to them today, she will be in trouble if they don’t pay it back when the time comes.

She slowed down, her expression softened, and she said, "Zhang Zhiqing, Lu Zhiqing, it's not that I don't want to lend you the newspaper, but I carried this newspaper here with great difficulty, and it took a lot of manpower to put it here.

I don't have a good family background, I'm sure you can see that, how about this, you exchange things with me, do you think this will work?"

Zhang Qian's face changed when she heard that. She originally wanted her to lend it to them for free first. Now she said that when she borrowed it, she would not ask her to return it for a few old newspapers. But she didn't expect that she didn't refuse directly, but asked them to exchange something.

Everyone knows that these are just worthless waste newspapers, so who would be willing to exchange their good things for them?

Lu Dandan and Qin Xue also had somewhat ugly expressions. Qin Xue was okay because she didn't say anything from the beginning. She felt that it didn't matter whether to put a mat on it or not, as long as it was cleaned.

Lu Dandan grew up in a brick and tile house in a compound in Beijing. Her neighbor couldn't stand it and had to spread her bedding directly on the dusty kang, but she didn't bring anything to put underneath. She probably didn't even know that people in the countryside slept on kangs.

After thinking about it, she could only accept Tong Yiya's method. She took out a few candies from her bag and said, "Can I exchange them for candies?"

"Of course, one candy for one. I think you need at least four sheets of paper underneath. The strong side also needs to be covered with newspaper. See if you want that. If not, just give me four candies." Tong Yiya was willing.

She has used this waste newspaper as an excuse over the years and takes some away every time she goes to the scrap yard. Now she has a lot of it in her space.

A piece of candy is nothing to her, but in the eyes of these young ladies, compared with waste newspapers, this candy is extremely precious. Tong Yiya just wants to disgust them, otherwise they will always come to trouble her.

When Lu Dandan heard that she had to exchange one candy for one, she felt very upset, but now she had no choice but to exchange it, so she said, "I just want four to put under my quilt."

After saying that, he counted out four White Rabbit milk candies and handed them to Tong Yiya. She took it and put it in her pocket, then turned around and counted out four newspapers from her handbag and gave them to Lu Dandan.

Zhang Qian, who was standing by, heard Tong Yiya asking for a piece of candy in exchange for a newspaper, so she turned around and followed Qin Xue to get some water to wipe the kang, and then made the bed after it was dry.

Tong Yiya thought that the newspaper needed to be soaked in rice paste, so she kept running around. She folded the bedding and tidied the newspaper underneath. Then she grabbed a handful of flour from her bag, put it in the small pot she brought, and then walked out of the room with it.

Seeing her carrying a small pot out, Lu Dandan muttered curiously: "What is this person doing if she doesn't clean up?"

Qin Xue knew what she was going to do, because she and her mother would paste newspapers on the walls of their home every year, so she said, "Tong Zhiqing should go get some paste to paste the newspapers, otherwise he will run away if he moves."

When Lu Dandan heard this, she wondered whether she should get herself covered in it, but as she had just lost four candies, she was a little hesitant.

Tong Yiya went out of the house, put some water into the pot in the yard, and then went into the kitchen of the Youth League Home. There was a bundle of dry firewood prepared by the team leader and others in the kitchen. She built a simple stove with three stones at the stove mouth and began to stir the batter.

It didn't take long to mix the batter. He put out the unburned firewood, shoveled all the ashes into the stove, and then carried the mixed batter out of the kitchen.

When he returned to the room, he ignored the other three people who were busy. He walked to his own bunk, got on the kang directly, moved the bedding away from the wall, and began to paste the lower part of the wall with newspapers.

She only pasted the wall on the side where she slept, and it took her a few seconds to finish pasting it. Then she got off the kang, put her bedding on her bag, and pasted two layers of newspaper on the kang on her side.

After she was done, she was not in a hurry to tidy up. She waited until she came back from dinner at the village chief's house in the evening to tidy up.

She slept alone in the innermost position on the kang, and the other three chose three positions near the door, with one or two positions between them and her. This was what Tong Yiya wanted most.

She also thought about waiting until she had time to see if there was anyone in the village who knew how to make straw mats. Then she would ask someone to make two straw curtains to cover her bed, so that she could go into the space and read books at night.

Seeing that she still had some batter left, Lu Dandan stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Tong Zhiqing, I see that you still have some batter left. You have already used it up and it is useless. It would be a waste to throw it away. Why don't you give it to me?"

Tong Yiya looked at her, thinking that she was not good at cooking anyway, and it was not a good time to ruin her relationship with them, so she nodded, picked up the pot and handed it to her, saying, "Wash the pot clean after use and return it to me. Be careful, this pot is passed down from my ancestors, don't break it."
