Chapter 21 Attitude
The educated youth site was quite far from the village. It was estimated that the nearest house was more than two thousand meters away, with many paddy fields and dry land in between. It seemed that the locals were not very fond of the educated youth. There was a small river not far in front of the educated youth site. To the east was a mechanized farming road leading to the outside. They walked in from this road. To the west was the road into the village.
There are mountains to the east, west and north of the village, and a large paddy field to the south. There is a small path in the middle of the paddy field leading to another village. Further south of the paddy field is the small river that passes in front of the educated youth site.
"Someone will bring you rations later. Those rations are loaned to you by the brigade. They will be deducted when the rations are used up. You can cook with others or cook by yourself. It's up to you." He said and left.
"Qiao Mo, what do you think we should do?" Chu Maoshen asked, noting that although Qiao Mo was young, he seemed to have a lot of ideas.
"I don't know either. Let's wait until the old educated youth come and see how they deal with it. Now our task is to clean up the house." After saying that, Qiao Mo moved his luggage to the door of the southernmost room in the east wing and went into the house to clean up.
The room was only about ten square meters, with a single bed, a small square table and a rib stool inside. The walls were all mud walls, and because it was very old, dust fell from time to time. On the top were beams and tiles, without any cover, so it would definitely leak in the winter. In addition to these, there was thick dust in the room and spider webs on the ceiling.
Qiao Mo went to the kitchen door to get a broom and dustpan, first swept away the cobwebs and dust, then went to the river to fetch water to wipe the bed, table and bench clean.
Although Chu Maoshen and Liu Ruoling disliked the house because it was too old, shabby, short and small, they had no other choice. Seeing that Qiao Mo had already taken action, he also chose a house. Liu Ruoling chose the room next to Qiao Mo. Chu Maoshen had no choice but to live in the northernmost room.
Qiao Mo worked diligently and quickly cleaned the house. In order to prevent dust from the wall from falling onto the bed, she first moved the bed to the middle, took out newspapers and paste and pasted a circle on the wall to prevent dust from falling onto the bed, and then put the bed back in place. At this time, she was glad that she had picked up a stack of newspapers at the recycling station that day and pasted the newspapers on the wall, so she didn't have to worry about dust falling on the wall. However, she still had to find a way to get some plastic sheeting or something to nail on the ceiling, otherwise, people would definitely freeze to death in winter.
Then open the quilt, put the oldest thin quilt on the bed, and then cover it with a mat. Although you don't need to cover yourself with a thin quilt at this time, there is no place to put the quilt. The other thin quilt and sheets can only be placed at one end of the bed, so you can use them to cover your stomach when it's cold at night.
She didn't bring the pillow core, so she could only find a kapok pillow core from the wooden bracelet space, put it on the bedside, and put the box at the head of the bed.
Several basins have different uses and are placed in different places.
Then nail the pre-prepared screen on the small window, hang up the curtains, move the table under the window, put the thermos, lunch box, tea cups, etc. on the table and you're done.
Although the room was simple and small, it was still quite clean after being tidied up: under such difficult conditions, she was satisfied to have a room of her own. Seeing that she was covered in dust, she took her toiletries to the river, found a secluded place to go into the river, washed her hair first, then dived into the water, took off her clothes and took a good bath, then put on the washed clothes, went ashore, wrapped herself in a bath towel and went to the educated youth point.
