Because of the house construction, the wall next to Yi Xiaoqiu's house was demolished, and the foundation was just being laid. Several old ladies were standing outside the foundation.
"Look, these girls really don't know how to live. It's not like they don't have a place to live at the educated youth camp, but they're already building a house after only a few days. They really don't take money seriously! They don't even build a house properly. It's so small, it looks like a coffin."
The person who said this was an old lady with triangular eyes and white hair.
"That's right! All the young ladies and wives in the Great Northern Wilderness are very careful with their budgets. These educated youth obviously don't know how to manage their lives. We don't want girls like them!"
"A girl who doesn't know how to manage her life is definitely not suitable as a daughter-in-law!" Another old lady shook her head, as if her family could afford to marry a daughter-in-law.
"Oh! Do you think they are peasants like you? They are city girls. How could they be short of money to build a house?" Aunt Liu stood at the back door with a bowl in her hand, sneering at the old women outside.
Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at the person behind him and didn't recognize him.
The people in the Great Northern Wilderness are tough and the old women speak loudly. As a southerner, I am not used to it and don't like it. I seldom interact with the people here. Except for the three groups of members, I can't recognize the others even if I have heard of their names.
Yi Xiaoqiu has no memory and doesn't recognize herself.
"Who are they? They are just bored!"
Su Mianmian looked at the lady behind her with embarrassment and shook her head.
Song Ying and Yi Xiaoqiu were in the same group. They were unfamiliar with the others and had no idea who the aunties outside were. "I don't know who those old ladies belong to. Ever since we started building the house, many people have come to say mean things to us. Those old ladies are so rude, and I don't know if they're just stuffed up from eating too much."
That old woman with the triangular eyes just now said that our house is too small and looks like a coffin. It pissed me off! If she wasn't so old, I would have knocked her teeth out!"
As Song Ying said this, her expression looked exactly like that of a female bandit.
Yi Xiaoqiu was secretly worried. These old ladies were too full and had too much to do. She decided to starve her for three days and three nights to see if they still had the energy to mind other people's business.
This is the only thing he could think of. Yi Xiaoqiu knew that this was unrealistic, as this was not the time of famine in the past.
What's more, in the Great Northern Wilderness, a grain-producing base, no one goes hungry.
"Don't talk about these old women. Those young men who come to our educated youth camp, you should also be careful. You have already shown off your wealth by building a house, so don't let them pester you. There will be rumors all the time, and you won't be able to explain it away..."
Yi Xiaoqiu arrived early, and after receiving the memory, she knew too well the destructive power of gossip.
Even though she is thick-skinned and doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others are like her and are not afraid of those rumors.
Shen Ruofei also nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Yi Zhiqing is right. If you don't want to get married in the countryside, you'd better be careful."
The other female educated youth looked at each other silently, and a hint of caution appeared on their faces.
Su Mianmian frowned, a trace of shame and regret flashed across her face, but no one noticed.
Gao Dazhuang and his men were busy building the house, and they ignored the pointing and talking of people outside, without even glancing at the old women outside.
Perhaps no one paid any attention to them, and it was getting dark, so the old ladies chatted for a while and then went home.
The next day, Shen Ruofei asked for leave from their team leader and rode Yi Xiaoqiu's pink bicycle to the county town.
Yi Xiaoqiu knew what she was doing and didn't ask any more questions.
She didn't come back until the next day.
"Here, this is yours!" As soon as Shen Ruofei entered the door, she handed Yi Xiaoqiu something wrapped in newspaper.
"What is this?" Yi Xiaoqiu took it and opened it. Wow! A neatly arranged stack of reunion cakes.
"The ginseng has been sold. They said it was worth at least two kilograms. It was sold for two thousand yuan. We split it equally." Shen Ruofei's eyes sparkled.
Yi Xiaoqiu was a little surprised. It sold for so much money. If she planted a piece of it on her farm and followed the speed at which the crops matured there, she would be rich!
Yi Xiaoqiu shook his head. "You discovered the ginseng yourself. It has nothing to do with me."
As he said this, he stuffed the money into the bag.
"Oh! I'm sure you'll get a share! Take it! I'm a rich woman now!" Shen Ruofei was really happy.
The key point is that she stayed in the county town for two days and went to the black market, where she sold a lot of things. She didn't care about the money.
Looking at her appearance, Yi Xiaoqiu knew that she must have gained a lot from this trip.
"Then I'll charge you ten dollars for the guide."
What Yi Xiaoqiu said was right, it was indeed she who led the way.
She took ten yuan and refused to take more, and stuffed the money back into Shen Ruofei's arms.
"Well, okay! I bought a lot of things in the county town. You can pick whatever you want." As she said that, she pulled out the big package behind her.
When she came back, she didn't put the things in the front room at all, but brought them directly to Yi Xiaoqiu's room.
When I opened the bundle, I saw that there were indeed quite a lot of things inside, including two large water bottles, several military water bottles, a mirror, a comb, as well as food and snacks.
Yi Xiaoqiu took a kettle. He only had one kettle before, and the old one was no longer useful, so he took a new one to replace it.
I took the kettle and some roasted melon seeds and pine nuts.
Although the things in her house seem few, the daily necessities on the farm are actually more complete than those in modern times.
"Okay, I'll just take these." Yi Xiaoqiu closed the bag.
"Put the things here with you first. I'll take them out when the house is built." Shen Ruofei was not shy and put the bag in her corner.
If these things were taken to the room in front, it would be troublesome if other people saw them and asked to borrow them.
What could Yi Xiaoqiu say? Although she didn't like the room being cluttered with things, she felt guilty about taking something from someone else. She had just taken ten yuan and then some food. How could she refuse?
After a rain, the temperature gradually rose, and we applied base fertilizer to the soil these days.
The base fertilizer used is organic fertilizer, which is simply human, cow, pig and horse manure.
Nowadays, chemical fertilizers are reluctant to be used as base fertilizers in this way.
These fertilizers are good things for farmers, but they are not so friendly to the educated youth who grew up in cities.
Under the scorching sun, the manure that had been fermenting for a long time, after being exposed to the sun, had a smell that was so nauseating.
Yi Xiaoqiu suppressed his nausea and shoveled a shovel of manure, which weighed at least six pounds. It was a bit heavy, but it was nothing for Yi Xiaoqiu. He was just a little worried that the handle of the shovel would break.
The old ladies in front were slacking off. Every time they shoveled fertilizer, they only shoveled half a shovelful.
Yao Zhiguo turned around and started scolding him by name.
"Mr. Li, why didn't you eat breakfast this morning? And the young wife from the Zhang family, you think she's picking her nose? She only picks a little bit, what's the point?"
Don't look at Yao Zhiguo as a grown man. When it comes to scolding people, he is no worse than the old women in the Great Northern Wilderness.
Those few people who were slacking off were so embarrassed after being scolded that they just pretended to be slacking off.
