After the three of them left, only the brother and sister were left in the room.
Ruan Mengmeng began to boil bath water in a cleaned large pot.
Although the wooden tub for bathing was not ready yet, the weather was so hot and the two of them had been running all day, so they had to at least wipe their bodies, otherwise they would feel smelly.
Xia Xiaojing, who lived in the same room, was not in the house at the moment.
Ruan Mengmeng guessed that she probably ran to the backyard.
It's time for dinner now, maybe they are going to the backyard to eat.
Ruan Mengmeng didn't care. After all, they ate separately and she couldn't care less about others.
At present, the two of them are just roommates, and other than that, they are not much different from strangers.
As long as she behaved herself, Ruan Mengmeng didn't want to cause trouble or get into trouble.
Two people boiled hot water, poured it into two basins, and then added appropriate amount of cold water.
When the temperature was about right, they took it into the house, locked the door and started scrubbing.
Ruan Mengmeng had prepared clean clothes for the two people to change into in advance, one set for each person.
It was a dark blue suit that she had made when she was free at home.
This color is more resistant to staining and is most suitable for wearing in the countryside.
At that time, she made two sets for each of them, one for summer and one for autumn, so that they could switch between them.
When Xia Xiaojing came back from dinner, the brother and sister had already finished washing.
Her food was not that good, as there were simply too many people, and they were said to be eating together as a group.
As a result, the porridge was cooked like clear water, almost transparent, with only a little bit of pitiful sweet potato at the bottom.
The dishes were even more frightening, not to mention the green vegetables and pickles.
It was fried until it was black and looked like it was burnt.
If you don't look carefully, you can't tell what it is doing.
Except for last night, the new educated youth brought out a lot of delicious food and made a decent meal.
As for the others, they really don’t look like they are meant to be eaten.
She doesn't have the capital or ability now to separate the food and eat it alone. No matter how bad it tastes, she has to hold her nose and endure it.
It’s not like she didn’t see that Ruan Mengmeng and the others had delicious food in the evening.
But I can only feel envy.
She is a clumsy person and can't do anything at home.
Even if you want to join someone else's team, they won't agree.
Who would be willing to accept a person who only knows how to eat?
She had no choice but to eat with everyone.
Besides, if they wanted to eat separately, they would have to build a kitchen, and she didn't have the time or money for that.
And what Wu Fanghai said about collecting firewood and fetching water by herself, thinking about it, it seems that she can't do either, alas!
Forget it, I can only eat from the big pot, what a miserable life!
She looked at the extra shed that had appeared on the side of the house today.
I can hardly hide the envy in my eyes, there is really no comparison!
Not to mention, this girl who is younger than her is doing much better than herself.
I had just arrived in the countryside and they had already built a kitchen and I had made several friends.
Look at myself again, I have nothing and am nothing. It’s really frustrating to compare myself with others!
But she was not jealous at all, she was just envious. If others were doing well, it was because of their own abilities.
If you don’t have the ability, you can’t blame others!
Having said that, she still felt uncomfortable. It was indeed not easy to eat from the same pot.
The food is nothing.
There are so many people in this place and there are so many troubles. She is a little tired. Alas!
The most disgusting thing was that several people quarreled over who should boil the bath water first.
In the end, the new educated youth were no match for the old ones, so they had to swallow their anger and it was the youngest one's turn to boil water for a bath.
Even the most powerful Xiao Yan didn't say a word, what else could they say?
Is there anyone more powerful than Xiao Yan?
The answer is no, that's it.
After all, they will have to live together in the future, and it is not a good thing to offend each other.
Seeing that she looked miserable, Ruan Mengmeng didn't ask any more questions. She thought that there must be another conflict between the new and old educated youth.
After experiencing what happened with Wang Lili, Ruan Mengmeng realized that there were one or two old educated youth who were not easy to deal with and liked to make trouble.
The reason she shared the food was that she didn't want to get entangled with them. She was lazy and just liked a simple life.
She would not bother to move unless others bothered her.
Since she had to go to work early the next morning, Ruan Mengmeng prepared to go to bed early.
"By the way, Mengmeng, where did you buy your cabinet? You seemed so busy today that I forgot to ask you!"
Xia Xiaojing couldn't help but asked Ruan Mengmeng.
When she came back, she saw a group of people bustling about in the yard.
The first thing she saw when she entered the house was the newly bought cabinets and the repaired wooden doors.
But they were all eating at the time, so she didn't dare to go up and ask.
Now that they were alone in the room, she became curious and decided to ask.
"Oh, you mean the cabinet at the end of the kang!"
Ruan Mengmeng realized that most of them seemed to have returned from the county town late today, and almost no one saw her buy the cabinet.
"I bought it from my third grandmother's house at the east end of the village. Their cabinets are nice in style and of very good quality. If you need them, you can go and have a look!"
Thinking of the difficult life of the old lady and Xiao Gangdan, she took the opportunity to promote her products.
"Oh, I see. It's too late today. I'll go check it out when I have a day off. Thank you for telling me!"
Xia Xiaojing wrote down the place and people's names she mentioned, and planned to go over and take a look another day after she had some rest.
After all, she had no place to put her things.
"It's okay, you're welcome!"
Ruan Mengmeng waved her hand and didn't care. Making things convenient for others is making things convenient for yourself.
"Today, I found that our door has been repaired. Since we live in this house together, we should share the expenses. Look at how much it cost, and I'll give you half!"
Xia Xiaojing looked at the repaired wooden door and felt that it was necessary to make it clear that when living together, one cannot always take advantage of others!
Ruan Mengmeng nodded secretly in her heart, thinking that this girl was quite sensible.
If Xia Xiaojing didn't ask, didn't say anything, and pretended not to know, she would definitely ignore her next time.
After all, she also paid the money and borrowed a lot of favors!
But since she asked, Ruan Mengmeng didn't think of giving it to her for free.
"Just give me two cents!"
She just said a random number, which was about right. She didn't know how much a few pieces of wood were worth.
As long as it’s not free, it’s fine, so that the other party won’t take advantage of you and become addicted, and develop bad habits.
Isn’t it said that a little kindness brings resentment? She doesn’t want to train the other person like this.
"Yesterday, you also took the newspapers that were pasted on the walls and windows. I'll give you thirty cents in total!"
Xia Xiaojing roughly calculated it herself, took out three cents and handed it to Ruan Mengmeng.
