Before going to the countryside, she carried luggage for several days and felt that her shoulders were about to get calluses. Fortunately, when she saw the food in the space, she was happy even though her shoulders were uncomfortable.
It feels so good to have food in hand.
Song Tanglan divided the food into different types with a joyful look on her face, piling the same food together. The meat, dried meat, canned food and all kinds of food she bought had to be placed separately.
There are quite a lot of raw and cooked foods, and it is really unhygienic to put them together. If she wasn't pressed for time, she would have wanted to sort them out after buying them.
Her luck was pretty good. She could find meat sellers almost every time she went to the black market. As a carnivore, she had stockpiled a lot of pork in her space. She had even come across pheasants and rabbits a few times, but not in large quantities.
Originally, she wanted to go to the state-owned restaurant to pack some food and put it in the space. After all, what you put in the space will be what you take out.
But her third sister works at the only state-owned restaurant near her home. Her third sister is so smart that even if she dresses up, she will be easily exposed.
In order not to arouse suspicion, she had to give up the idea and stock up on other food.
She spent a lot of money to get a lot of things like malted milk, brown sugar, eggs, etc., but unfortunately, milk powder was also in short supply on the black market, and Song Tanglan only had a few packs on hand.
In addition to these, she also bought a lot of necessary daily necessities and cashmere yarn. She originally thought that the temperature in Ganhe Commune would be dozens of degrees below zero in winter, so she wanted to buy a thick coat, but unfortunately the weather in City A was not very cold.
The black market also didn't have the thick coat she wanted, but luckily Su's mother said she would prepare some winter clothes for her and told her not to worry, so she didn't spend money to have one custom-made.
It took her two or three hours to tidy up the space. She took out the things she usually used and placed them in the house so that they would be convenient to use.
In this era, if someone were seen taking something out of thin air, you would probably be burned to death as a monster.
For the sake of her life, she had to be more cautious.
After finishing all the work, Song Tanglan thought about washing all the clothes, packed up and prepared to go out, but at this moment, a sound came from outside the door.
"Is Lanlan here?"
"I'm here. Taotao, why do you have time to come to see me at this time? Have you packed your things?" Song Tanglan opened the door and welcomed Su Tao in with confusion.
When Su Taogang was still in the yard, she was afraid that someone would hear her bad words, so she also walked into her friend's room and looked around. She found that the environment of her friend's house was very good in all aspects. Not only did she live in a large single room by herself, but there was also a bathroom in the room. She was very envious of it.
I thought of the big dormitory beds in the educated youth compound. So many people slept together. It was okay in the summer, but in the winter it might be difficult to even turn over.
Plus, with so many people living here and so many different opinions, there are bound to be some minor conflicts.
"Lanlan, I'm envious of your room. It's even better tidied than the one in the city."
Seeing her envious expression, Song Tanglan felt helpless. "You, you can move out too! It's really much more comfortable to live on your own."
After saying that, he made her a cup of brown sugar water.
"Lanlan, it's not as easy as you think. Even if you want to move out, there's no place to live. Look around the brigade and see if there's any vacant house. Even if there is, they wouldn't be willing to take in an educated youth like me!"
Su Tao knew that her friend meant well, so she didn't take it to heart. After drinking the brown sugar water, she continued to complain.
"You have no idea what those women in the Youth House are like. They talk in a sarcastic tone. When I was packing my luggage, they stared at it. It was really annoying. I locked all my valuables in the cabinet, afraid they would get lost if they were left outside."
Song Tanglan thought that the old and new educated youth in the educated youth courtyard were all confused and none of them were easy to get along with. Thinking about his understanding of Su Tao in the past few days, he understood the reason. Thinking of Su Tao's tongue-tied nature, he didn't know if she would be bullied.
“They really don’t get along well.”
"You don't know. I clearly contributed food for the meal last night, but they were still being cunning. I used a little of their firewood and water, and they were just being cunning. We, the new educated youth, told them we would make it up to them later, but they still said such harsh things. Moreover, we contributed a lot of food, but there was only this little for dinner. I didn't even feel full. Luckily, I still had two pieces of food left from home, and I ate them with water to feel full."
Su Tao looked dazed when she said this. She was really strong, but if she didn't eat enough, she would lack energy all day long. In that case, she would not be able to work and might even get sick easily.
Song Tanglan also heard from her second sister that the meals in the Youth League Home consisted of coarse grains and wild vegetables. For city dwellers like them who had just come to the countryside and often ate cornmeal in the city, it was really hard to accept all of a sudden.
What's more, the coarse grains in the countryside are completely different from those in the city. The cornmeal in the countryside will have the corn core beaten in, which will make your throat choke.
"This really isn't a solution. You might as well consider moving out and spending some money to build a small house. Although you can partner with a fellow villager, it's not safe either. There will always be small conflicts. If you live alone, you can eat whatever you want."
Su Tao knew the benefits of living alone, and all her current problems could be solved, but she didn't know if the money she brought with her to the countryside was enough, and she was also afraid that there wouldn't be much left after the house was built, and she would have to live a tight life next year, not to mention buying all kinds of things.
She hadn't earned any work points yet, and she had to spend a large sum of money right after arriving. She was reluctant to do so. She had never thought about living with her good friend. After all, although they got along very well, they had only been together for a few days. There was no need to lose this friend because of this matter.
"I'll have to think about this carefully."
"You should think about this carefully. There will only be more and more educated youth going to the countryside in the future. Now, after only a few batches, conflicts have already begun."
Su Tao knew that her friend was doing this for her own good. If it were not for her own stupid mind, she would not have thought of such a solution. She didn't know whether she would not have enough to eat every meal and would become skinny from hunger. Thinking of herself in that situation, she shuddered.
"My God, I thought all I had to do when I went to the countryside was work hard, but I didn't expect there would be so much trouble."
