In this day and age, you have to close the doors and windows when eating meat to hide the smell tightly, for fear that those who are suffering from the heat will find out and report them.
Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the smell doesn’t spread so quickly. Otherwise, if I eat meat secretly, people nearby will be able to smell it.
Only after all the luggage was moved did they have time to look around at their little house.
Song Tanglan observed carefully and found that the house was quite good. The two rooms were separated by the distance of a kitchen. Su Tao's room was about the same size as his own, but the rooms of the two male educated youth were bigger, after all, two people lived in one room.
But the lighting in that room is not as good as Su Tao's room. The stove in the kitchen has been built, and we are just waiting for the custom-made furniture to be delivered today.
Su Tao and Song Tanglan checked it up and down and found that there was no problem. The more Su Tao looked at it, the more satisfied she was. After all, this was a house she had spent more than 60 yuan to build. Now it belonged to her alone. How could she not be happy?
"Lanlan, when I first saw them building it, I didn't feel anything different. Now that I look at the overall design, I find it's much better than the Youth House."
"The Youth House was built with yellow mud bricks. It can't be compared with yours."
Song Tanglan didn't think there was anything similar. This house cost so much money to build, there was no need to compare the two places.
However, the windows of the house are made of wood. If they were replaced with glass, it would be brighter. However, glass in this era is very expensive and difficult to obtain, so this is not realistic for them.
"Too."
Yu He couldn't help but interrupt at this time, "Su Zhiqing, you're really looking down on our house. How can we compare it with the Zhiqingyuan? I feel a little embarrassed if I tell anyone about this."
Sun Jianhua also nodded in agreement. Looking at the room they had just cleaned, where the items were neatly arranged, he thought of the messy environment of the Youth League Home. He felt that there was no comparison at all.
Su Tao, you just sighed for a moment, and then started cleaning the house. After the four of them worked hard, the house was finally cleaned, but it was time for lunch.
Su Tao asked the two male educated youth to move the kitchen utensils over, intending to cook a delicious meal in her new home.
Sun Jianhua and Yu He had no objection to this, so they agreed.
After the two of them moved the things back and cleaned up the kitchen, Su Tao took out some food and planned to cook a good meal for Song Tanglan.
Song Tanglan felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. After all, she didn't help much. However, she knew that if she didn't agree, they would not give up like this.
In the end, she compromised and stayed for lunch. Su Tao also used her eloquence to invite Song Tangcheng, who was at home alone, to come and have lunch with them.
Song Tangcheng had no choice but to bring meat and vegetables to their house for a snack, and also to congratulate them on moving into their new home.
The five of them had a very pleasant lunch. Originally, the two sisters planned to stay and help them clean up, but when they saw that the house was already tidy, there was nothing left for them to do.
I can only go home and take a nap first.
As expected, Cheng Fangyuan failed to get back in time for dinner.
Looking at the prepared food, he sighed: It seems that paying the public grain tax this time is not so smooth.
The two sisters could only eat dinner first and heat up Cheng Fangyuan's food on the stove for him.
Cheng Fangyuan's side was indeed not as smooth as the two had imagined. They rushed to the commune with food early in the morning, but there were so many brigades in the commune and they were quite far away, so they could only queue up honestly.
When it was lunch time, those people also got off work. Some had lunch, some took a nap, leaving only the people sent by the brigade waiting outside.
When it was finally afternoon, another team had a problem. The grain they were required to submit was about 10 pounds short, so their application was rejected and they had to go back to the team to get the grain to make up for it.
It took a lot of time to go back and forth, but fortunately, I finally got to the Red Star Team before dark.
Cheng Fangyuan had dealt with these people who collected public grain many times. He shook hands with them skillfully and handed them a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes.
In that era, Daqianmen cigarettes were not cheap. Those who could afford to smoke such cigarettes generally had a well-off family. These cigarettes were not only expensive, but also required cigarette coupons. In addition, the quantity was limited, so not many people could get them.
With this Daqianmen cigarette, the people who collected the grain did not make things difficult for the Red Star Brigade. Instead, they weighed the grain quickly and stamped it when the quantity was correct.
Unlike other teams, which took more than half an hour to finish the work, Cheng Fangyuan led the team back to the village. However, they still returned a little late this time.
Before they reached halfway, it was already pitch dark. Fortunately, they brought torches and flashlights, so they didn't encounter any danger along the way and returned to the team safely.
But when I got home, it was a dark and windy night. After I cleaned up and had dinner, it was already early morning. I cleaned up the kitchen and then tiptoed back to my room to sleep.
But his movement still woke up the person sleeping in the bed.
"Are you back?"
"Um, did I wake you up?"
There were two little girls in their family who were very afraid of the cold, so they heated up the kang early. Seeing that half of Song Tangcheng's arm was exposed, Cheng Fangyuan reached out to help her pull the quilt to cover her.
"No, I just wanted to get up and drink some water." Song Tangcheng sat up drowsily and rubbed his eyes.
"Wait a minute, I'll bring it to you. Don't get out of bed, or you'll catch a cold."
The temperature in the middle of the night is even colder than during the day. It is easy to catch a cold if you just get up from a warm bed.
"Okay." Song Tangcheng waited for him to bring the water over, took a sip, and then asked, "Isn't everything going well today? Why are you back later than the past two years?"
"One brigade had a poor harvest this year, and the quantity submitted was incorrect, so there was a delay." Cheng Fangyuan explained the general situation to his wife, covered her with a quilt attentively, and patted her back soothingly so that she could fall asleep again.
"So that's how it is. Have you had dinner? I left some for you on the stove."
"I have eaten it, but why are we eating meat today?" When Cheng Fangyuan came back and saw that there was meat for dinner, he was a little surprised. He knew very well how much food was in the cellar at home. He had been busy with the team's affairs recently and had no time to go hunting.
The eldest brother was so busy that he had no time to go up the mountain to set the trap.
"Today, those three educated youth happened to be moving their things over to clean up the house, so I went to help. They were worried that I would eat alone at home, so they asked me to go. You can't go to a guest's house empty-handed, so I brought a piece of meat. I didn't expect them to specially save a bowl for you."
Song Tangcheng felt embarrassed when she thought about eating and taking the food back. She didn't want to take it at that time, but people said it was for her husband, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to take it back.
