At half past five, the whistle for work sounded. Su Qingmeng opened his eyes from his deep sleep, got dressed and got off the bed.
After a night's rest, Su Qingmeng felt much better. She had suddenly traveled through time yesterday and had been busy all day. Today she was sure that she had been reborn in the 1970s and had completely bid farewell to her past life.
Now recalling the original owner's memories, it's like watching a movie. I can no longer feel the emotions I felt at that time. This is also good. She is still the same as before.
"Live a good life in the future and cherish every day," Su Qingmeng encouraged herself.
After opening the door and greeting Zhou Wenxi, Su Qingmeng washed her face and brushed her teeth with the remaining water from yesterday. While brushing, she harvested the ripe sugarcane and put it into the sugar-making workshop, producing one portion of white sugar in two hours and one portion of brown sugar in four hours.
She selected 3 parts white sugar and 2 parts brown sugar for production. A workshop can only select 5 products and line up production.
Currently operating are the sugar refinery, the stone mill producing flour and rice flour, the chopper producing feed, the bakery producing egg cakes, and the textile workshop producing wool yarn and cotton cloth. Other workshops are temporarily suspended and will be used when needed.
Su Qingmeng planted wheat in the field. Wheat takes a short time to grow and can be ground into flour, so it is more cost-effective.
After the water ran out, she ran to the well twice to fill the enamel basin and bucket. She would buy a water tank later as it would be too inconvenient to have no place to store water.
Yesterday, she just put all the furniture in the house and things were not arranged in order. Su Qingmeng made some adjustments and put the washbasin rack in the kitchen. From now on, she would wash her face in the kitchen and brush her teeth outside.
The table and stools were placed under the window in the room, so it would be convenient for her to cook for herself when she was eating alone. She chose a high table and stool, which could also be used as a study table, as the window provided good light.
The storage cabinet is on the wall near the door. There are no baffles on the upper and middle layers. The bottom is a large cabinet with double doors, which is perfect for storing food. The middle layer is for seasonings, bowls and cutlery, and the upper layer is for various sundries.
Large items such as wooden basins are placed in the open space between the end of the kang and the wall.
There was still some space near the dining table, so Su Qingmeng pulled out a small three-tiered bookcase from her space and placed it there. It was about a meter long and high, and half a meter wide, painted the same natural wood color as the other furniture in the room. She placed her high school textbooks in the middle, and on the upper tiers were egg cakes, cookies, and other snacks.
The top part can be used as a dressing table, where you can put mirror, comb and vanishing cream.
Su Qingmeng looked around and nodded with satisfaction. She had finally cleaned the house. She checked her watch and saw it was already six o'clock. She closed the door and took out a bowl of fried rice from her space and started eating.
After dinner, I put on my backpack, took my money and ID, and went to Hotan Ke to meet them. We chatted and laughed all the way to the brigade headquarters.
The team leader was Lin Baoguo, a stern-faced old man. Each of them received 15 kilograms of corn bran, which was considered a loan and would be paid back after the autumn harvest when their work points were calculated.
This amount of food would last for four or five months and was definitely not enough, so they asked if they could buy some more with money. The team leader said yes, so Tian Ke and Gao Xiaohuan bought another 10 kilograms. Since there was no rice for sale, Su Qingmeng did not buy more.
She bought flour in the county town yesterday. Now that she has a source of flour, she can mix it with grain from the farm.
Su Qingmeng discussed with the team leader about finding someone to build a stove for her. The team leader said that someone should do it at noon, and it would cost 10 work points, and it would also be recorded first.
The team leader asked, "Are you all living in single rooms? There are 12 per year." Su Qingmeng lived alone, and Tian Ke and Gao Xiaohuan decided to share a single room.
The three of them paid the rent to the accountant. At this time, a pretty girl with a single braid walked in and asked the accountant, "Dad, do you have the bicycle key?" The accountant replied, "No, your second brother didn't give me the key after riding the bike yesterday. You go find him."
Just as the girl was about to leave, the team leader called her, "Xiaoyuan, why aren't you at work today?" The girl replied, "Uncle, I'm going to the county town to visit my classmates."
Xiaoyuan? Lin Xiaoyuan? This was the heroine. Su Qingmeng's heart dropped with a jolt of relief. She was certain she had truly traveled through time and space.
The heroine is about 1.6 meters tall, with fair skin, a round face and big eyes. She is a sweet girl. She graduated from high school, which is not a good education in the countryside. She is also good-looking. Her father is the accountant of the brigade. The villagers jokingly call her the village flower of Songjiang Brigade.
She should have fallen in love with the hero now. A while ago, when she came back from the commune, she met a few gangsters. It was the hero who appeared and saved her. From then on, she fell deeply in love with the hero and sent him food and drink. The hero refused at first, so the heroine began to work for love and worked with the hero. The hero soon changed his opinion of her, and the two experienced some other things together, and the hero gradually fell in love with the heroine.
The heroine is a little bit in love and has an accident-prone physique. Su Qingmeng feels that he should stay away from the heroine and just watch the show quietly.
The team leader and the five people returned to the information point and measured out their plots and cellars. There were three cellars at the information point, and Su Qingmeng was assigned the western one, closer to her house. With six people sharing one cellar, each person had a 2 x 2 square meter plot. Her plot was far from the well, making watering it more difficult.
After the division, the team leader left. Tian Ke asked, "Are you going to the commune?" Su Qingmeng shook her head, and Wang Aiguo also said that he had been there yesterday, so the remaining three went to the commune together.
Su Qingmeng returned to her house to make underwear and curtains. She used the cotton cloth from the farm, one meter at a time, for the underwear. She knew how to sew, though her skills weren't great. Now, with the memories of the original owner, she quickly made two sets of underwear. She had a dark gray piece of cloth left over, which she turned into curtains.
After hanging the curtains, Su Qingmeng entered the space. The space was now much more spacious. The fields and workshops were across the river. Outside the wooden house, on the left was the bathroom. Next to the bathroom was a square pool for washing clothes.
