Seeing that Ruan Mengmeng was determined to share the food and the others had no objections, Wu Fanghai had no choice but to give up persuading them and continue to divide the work among the remaining people.
"Two people work together and take turns cooking after work. If you have something to do, please ask for leave in advance. You can't delay everyone's work because of personal reasons."
"The male educated youth will be responsible for fetching water, and as for collecting firewood, we can go together when everyone has time."
After making these arrangements, Wu Fanghai thought about it and felt that this was all he had to say, and there seemed to be nothing more to say.
"Okay, let's start eating! If we're any later, everything will get cold..."
As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks on the table first.
"By the way, you new educated youth, you can take a day off tomorrow. Go and prepare what you need to buy, because you will be working with us the day after tomorrow!"
He picked up the almost transparent porridge on the table, took a sip, and finally gave some instructions.
"good……"
Everyone nodded slightly to show that they understood.
Although there was fish and meat, the old educated youth were used to a frugal life and were reluctant to use oil when cooking. The taste of the food was indescribable.
There was nothing else to eat besides these. We had been sitting in the car for several days and had been busy cleaning the house in the afternoon.
I was so tired and hungry that I could only swallow it while enduring the discomfort.
The old educated youth were still the fastest. They ate as if they were snatching food, and they almost left afterimages...
Ruan Mengmeng and the others saw this kind of scene for the first time. Their eyes widened and they stood there in a daze.
Ruan Zilong took a few bites and couldn't eat it anymore.
Not only did it taste terrible, but the speed scared him the most.
When they came to their senses, almost all the dishes on the table had been snatched away. They did not dare to delay and quickly took a few bites.
Whether you are full or not, that's all you can do...
The meal ended with everyone scrambling for it.
If someone asks everyone if they are full, most people will definitely say no.
Because of his slow speed, he couldn't compete with the old educated youth at all. It turned out that going to the countryside early was different. His hand speed had been trained to be extremely fast.
Ruan Mengmeng thought to herself, I wonder if they can work in the fields just as fast.
After dinner, it was already late, so everyone started to boil water for a bath.
The weather is not cold now, so the male educated youths just go to the river to wash or just rinse with cold water.
There were only eight female educated youth who needed to boil water for bathing, and now there was one more five-year-old child, Ruan Zilong.
After the four old educated youths had boiled water and washed, Ruan Mengmeng and the other three started to boil water.
The pot is not very big and can only boil water for two people to take a bath at a time.
Ruan Mengmeng didn't have a bathtub, so she could only wipe it with an enamel basin first.
Otherwise, after running for a few days, my body would smell terrible.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Ruan Mengmeng took out the sheets, quilt covers and other things from the package and made the beds in the two rooms.
Ruan Zilong lives alone in his house, which is quite spacious, so he can just spread the mat against the wall.
Ruan Mengmeng and her husband live together, and Xia Xiaojing and her husband each have half.
Xia Xiaojing is timid and likes to sleep inside, so Ruan Mengmeng can only sleep on the edge of the kang.
After finishing all this, it’s already late and I have other things to do tomorrow.
She would deal with the remaining things tomorrow. She planned to find someone to make a cabinet for her or buy one if there was one already available.
This way, there is a place to put things, otherwise they will be thrown everywhere.
After being busy for several days, Ruan Mengmeng can finally lie down and rest. She feels relaxed all over.
"sleep!"
She blew out the kerosene lamp, and the room fell into darkness, with only the rising and falling sound of her breathing remaining...
After waiting for a while, and feeling that Xia Xiaojing was asleep, she used her mental power to scan Ruan Zilong's room next door.
After discovering that her younger brother had also fallen asleep, she quietly got up, put on her clothes, opened the door, and left the Youth League compound.
She walked out into the night...
In the darkness, she found a secluded corner, turned on the screen and sent a text message to Zhang Xinxin;
"Xinxin, my brother and I have arrived in Zhangjia Village. We came here as educated youth sent to the countryside. Do you want to meet me? I'll be waiting for you under the big tree next to the educated youth compound. Come back soon..."
In just fifteen seconds, a blue light flashed on the screen and a text message popped up;
"Hey man, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Okay, just wait there for me, I'll be there in a minute!"
……………….
Zhang Sinian, who had just left the educated youth camp, stared at Ruan Mengmeng's back as she entered the yard. He watched for a long time until she completely disappeared, and then he came to his senses.
"Walk…."
He said one simple and clear word and turned to leave.
Although Tian Kai was a little confused by the boss's behavior, he nodded;
"Finally I can go home!"
He said this as if he was returning to his own home, so naturally.
After running around for so many days, even the strongest body can't take it anymore.
He really wanted to go back and find a place to have a good sleep and recover his energy.
Carrying a big bag of things, Tian Kai happily followed Zhang Sinian to the west side of the village.
Zhang Sinian’s home is not far from here, just a few hundred meters away.
When meeting acquaintances on the road, Zhang Sinian would occasionally say hello to them, but he was always a man of few words, and most of the time it was others who were talking and he would nod slightly.
After walking left and right for about twenty minutes, the two of them stopped in front of a yard.
Zhang Sinian took a step forward and began to knock on the door;
“Bang, bang, bang…”
“Here I come!”
Zhang Xinxin, who was picking vegetables in the yard with a basket on her shoulder, shouted towards the gate.
"Who is it? It's time for dinner, and you're not staying home quietly. Are you here to cause trouble?"
She carried the basket and muttered softly as she walked towards the door to open it;
She was still thinking in her heart that if it was her second cousin who was not paralyzed and came to cause trouble, she would definitely use lightning to shock him and let him taste the pain of electricity again.
With a creak, the door opened and two tall and handsome men stood outside! ?
Zhang Xinxin, who was taller, looked somewhat familiar, but was a little hesitant to confirm his identity.
Zhang Xinxin had never seen anyone shorter than him, let alone knew him.
"you…."
Before he could even ask who it was, Zhang Sinian frowned.
"What's wrong with your head?"
Seeing Zhang Xinxin standing there in a daze, Zhang Sinian frowned even deeper.
Could it be that this girl has a head injury and has become stupid?
“Little sister…little sister…!”
"ah?"
Zhang Xinxin was awakened by the shouting, and only then did he find the memory of this person from his memories.
This is the original owner’s biological brother Zhang Sinian.
He went out to join the army at the age of seventeen and sometimes didn't come back for a whole year.
The original owner's memory of him was still stuck in the past, before he joined the army.
Before Zhang Xinxin could speak, Bai Rong's voice came from the kitchen;
"Xinxin, have you picked the vegetables? Bring them here quickly, we're waiting to be used!"
