After Lin Qinglan went to join the army, the atmosphere at home became much more gloomy.
Lin Qingmei now even has no motivation to go to work. When she had nothing to do, her sisters would chat with her, but now she has to do everything alone.
When Lin Qinglan was at home, they often went to her house to cook. Now that the cook had gone to the army, Lin Qingmei and Lin Zhengyu would eat in the canteen of the farm.
Of course, Lin Zheng also received food rations. After all, the food for the farm was specially approved by County Magistrate Wang according to the standards of commercial grain in Nancheng County, and only a few formal workers received food subsidies.
If temporary workers want to eat in the canteen, they have to bring their own rations. As for vegetables and seafood, they are provided by the village. Meat subsidies can only be purchased in the county town with the meat coupons subsidized by County Magistrate Wang.
…
That day, the team leader hurried to the farm to find Lin Qingmei.
"Qingmei, you must help uncle this time. I didn't expect that County Magistrate Wang would arrange for educated youth to come to our village. You also know that there are no empty houses in Linjiawan right now, so I thought of borrowing your old house as a place for educated youth. Don't worry, let them live there for a while. After the spring plowing, I will immediately organize people to rebuild a house as a place for educated youth."
The captain knew that what he did was a little embarrassing for Lin Qingmei, but he had no choice. The educated youth would arrive the next day, and he couldn't let them sleep on the road!
"Of course I can, but today you have to help me find a few people to block the door leading from my old house to the new house." She had originally planned to use the old house to raise chickens, but now that Captain Yi asked her for help, she decided to help him since he had been nice to her!
"No problem, I'll arrange someone to help you seal the door right away. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll ask your aunt to cook for you another day, and I'll ask Shitou to notify you then!" After the captain finished speaking, he left in a hurry again. He still had to find someone to clean up the house and seal the door for Lin Qingmei with mud bricks. There was still a lot of work to do!
When Lin Qingmei got home in the evening, the door she had asked the team leader to seal had been opened, and her new house and old house were separated into two courtyards.
No, it should be said that there are three courtyards. Next to the old house and the new house, there is a newly built small house.
This small house had been built a long time ago, the walls inside were painted white, and the floor was paved with red bricks.
The small house has a one-bedroom and one-living room, as well as a toilet and a kitchen.
For his sister's safety, He Xufeng built a high wall around the small house.
The next day, today was Sunday, and Lin Qingmei didn't have to go to work.
It is spring now, and Lin Qingmei plans to plow the vegetable patch in the backyard and plant vegetables later.
"Second sister, can we plant some watermelons?"
"What? Do you want to eat watermelon?" Lin Qingmei stopped what she was doing and looked at Lin Zheng. It was the first time that this adopted brother made a request to her.
"Well, I heard from Shi Tou that watermelon is delicious. I also want to try whether watermelon is delicious or not?" Lin Zheng scratched his head in confusion.
