At around six o'clock, Su Ye and He Jianjun came back carrying a load of firewood each.
Chen Hongmei and Qin Shuwan helped to pile up the firewood
Zhang Qiang and Liu Lili looked very unhappy. They each dragged a small bundle of firewood back and put it outside the kitchen.
Zhang Qiang dropped the firewood and went back to his room. Liu Lili arranged the two small bundles of firewood and looked at Qin Shuwan and their newly-made kitchen. She couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes.
Before Su Ye and the others came back, Qin Hongmei and Qin Shuwan used a clay pot to boil water and filled the thermos.
He also filled up Han Xiaomei's. If you borrow, you must return. It won't be difficult to borrow again!
Su Ye was quite surprised to see the "simple stove". Chen Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing saw that their families were very well-off, but he didn't expect them to have this.
Chen Hongmei said: "Each of us received 30 kilograms of potatoes and 30 kilograms of corn kernels in advance.
There's no time to grind the corn kernels into flour today. It seems we'll only have potatoes to eat tonight.
So should we boil it or roast it?"
He Jianjun: "I can eat anything"
Su Ye: "Then cook it, it will be faster this way" and save firewood.
Su Ye cooked the potatoes, and together with He Jianjun, they brought in four large stones and used them as stools.
Chen Hongmei took out a small notebook and a pencil, "This is the cost of buying things in town today. The big iron pot is more expensive, it cost 22 yuan, and 10 industrial tickets.
The kitchen knife and shovel together cost four dollars, two industrial tickets
The big and small earthen bowls are 80 cents each, no ticket required
The pottery jar and the jar together cost two yuan, no ticket required
Vegetable oil costs 80 cents per pound, and I used a pound oil ticket.
Matches are two cents a box. I bought ten boxes, which cost a total of twenty cents.
Three pounds of salt, one yuan and two cents
A total of 31 yuan, 12 industrial tickets, and one pound of oil ticket."
Qin Shuwan narrated, "It cost five dollars to repair the kitchen, and two dollars to buy the basin and bucket."
Chen Hongmei: "That's thirty-eight yuan in total. Let's split it equally among the four of us, nine and a half yuan each. I'll get three industrial coupons, and you can each give me two taels of oil coupons."
He Jianjun went back to the room to get the money bill for Chen Hongmei, and Qin Shuwan gave her own share and the share they shared equally to Chen Hongmei on the spot.
Chen Hongmei took the money and glared at Qin Shuwan
Qin Shuwan was stared at inexplicably. What did she do?
Seeing her confused look, Chen Hongmei said unhappily, "Who has nothing better to do? Why would they carry so much money with them?"
We all have to work in the fields from now on, so be careful, my sister. If you lose this, who are you going to ask for it?"
Qin Shuwan smiled and said, "Haven't we just arrived? There are many things to buy, it's convenient to carry some with you, so I won't
By the way, do you have straw mats on your beds?
I heard from Comrade Qin today that the beds of the educated youth were all covered with straw mats, but I didn’t see any.”
Chen Hongmei and Su Ye both shook their heads. They didn't need to think about it, it must have been occupied by the old educated youth.
Chen Hongmei snorted, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Now that I know, I will definitely find it back.
If I don't want something that belongs to me, even if it's just a blade of grass, no one else can take it."
