"Thank you, Yun Zhiqing!" Lin Zikang thanked her. Yun Siying's appearance was undoubtedly stunning, and he was no exception and had a good impression of her.
Yun Siying started the tractor and ran to the brigade headquarters. A few minutes later, the two finally arrived at the Youth League Home, parked the car, stood aside to take the furniture handed over by Nangong Ruochen, and put it on the ground.
A few minutes later, the two men unloaded all the furniture and food from the tractor. Nangong Ruochen then sat in the driver's seat of the tractor, turned his head and said to Yun Siying, "You take a rest for a while. I'll go to the brigade headquarters to return the car first, and then come back to clean your room."
“Okay!” Yun Siying readily agreed. Having someone to help with the work was what she had been asking for, so she sat leisurely on a clean piece of sand to rest, looking at the white clouds floating in the blue sky, as white and soft as cotton.
The captain looked at the tractor driving away and asked in shock, "Lao Zhang, is the person driving the tractor Yun Zhiqing?"
Zhang Youliang stared at the tractor going away and said excitedly, "Old Jiang, you are not mistaken. It is indeed Yun Zhiqing who is driving the tractor."
"Hahaha! It seems that we will have less stress during the autumn harvest because we have people who can drive tractors." Jiang Zhengguo said happily. The brigade had just obtained this tractor, and fortunately Nangong, an educated youth, knew how to drive one, so he took him to the county town and drove the tractor directly back to the brigade. There was no money or food for people to go to the county town to learn how to drive a tractor.
He wanted Nangong the educated youth to teach several young people in the village how to drive a tractor, but Nangong the educated youth did not agree and missed the training time in the county. He was also worried that there would be no one to take over the shift with Nangong the educated youth during the autumn harvest.
"Captain, I'm Lin Zikang, an educated youth who just came to work in the countryside. I'm here to collect food. Can we exchange furniture for it?" Lin Zikang asked immediately.
"Okay, come and get your food first, and I'll take you to choose furniture." Accountant Zhang gave the food to Lin Zikang in exchange for two mahogany boxes and a wardrobe.
When Lin Zikang was moving the furniture to the warehouse, he saw Nangong Ruochen driving a tractor back. Accountant Wang looked at the more than ten yuan he had earned and was in a good mood, so he said, "Nangong Zhiqing, help Lin Zhiqing move the furniture and food back to the Zhiqingyuan."
"Okay." Nangong Ruochen thought that he had helped Yun Siying get back the furniture and food. If he refused Lin Zhiqing, Yun Siying would have a rift with him in the future, so he agreed.
Nangong Ruochen watched Lin Zikang move furniture and food steadily, with no intention of helping. When he drove the tractor to the Youth League Home, he stopped the car and looked at the location of his door.
Seeing Yun Siying still sitting there waiting for him, he walked over quickly from the car, picked up the broom and started to help Yun Siying clean the room.
After cleaning the room, Yun Siying moved the furniture and food into the room with him. According to Nangong Ruochen's instructions, the two placed the wardrobe and cupboard in the middle of the room, which acted as a partition and divided the room into two areas.
Then he opened the door of his room, took an enamel basin and a rag, fetched water from the yard, quickly cleaned the kang for Yun Siying, laid a brown mat, and put the kang cabinet away.
Yun Siying went to Nangong Ruochen's room to get her package, took out a cool mat from the package and spread it on the brown mat, and then put it on the kang table.
Shu Siying looked over and saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. She took eight meat buns and a bag of dried meat and placed them on the table on the kang, then said, "We're hungry after a busy afternoon. Let's fill our stomachs first and then continue to clean up."
"Wait a moment." Nangong Ruochen said as he went to his room. After a while he came back with two enamel jars filled with malted milk.
Nangong Ruochen took the dried meat and buns, opened them, and the aroma filled his nose. He was tempted by the smell, took a bite of the bun, then took another one to taste, and stopped after the first bite, eating one after another.
"Your steamed buns and beef jerky are so delicious." Nangong Ruochen said after drinking a glass of malted milk.
"If it tastes good, eat more. A full stomach will help you work better." Yun Siying ate contentedly.
After they had eaten their fill, they wiped the furniture they had bought clean before placing it in the room. Nangong Ruochen looked around and said, "It's done. The only thing missing is a cooking stove. I'll take you to find someone to build one."
The two drove the tractor back to the brigade headquarters and walked along the road in the village, looking at the thatched houses scattered around. There were only three blue brick and tile houses in the whole village.
Every family had a few chickens pacing in the yard, and the dogs on the roadside saw them coming and kept barking. When the kids saw them, they ran away without a trace.
Yun Siying looked at Nangong Ruochen in surprise and asked, "Are we that scary?"
"Hey! Is it possible that the person they are afraid of is me?" Nangong Ruochen was very satisfied with his current deterrence. Now not only the people in the educated youth center were afraid of him, but also the people in the village were afraid of him.
Thinking of this, when he saw these girls avoiding him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he looked at Yun Siying with some worry, worried that she was afraid of him, so when he was with her, he didn't release his cold aura.
"Is it possible? With your handsome looks, the girls in the village are all bewitched by you." Yun Siying said jokingly. She and Nangong Ruochen are very familiar with each other. Although they are from the same compound, they play together.
But now when she is with him, she feels very comfortable and at ease. She doesn't know why, but she has this feeling inexplicably, but she doesn't reject it.
"Do you really think I'm handsome?" Nangong Ruochen looked at Yun Siying and asked seriously. He used to hate his appearance. Sometimes people mistook him for a girl and laughed at him.
Now when I heard Yun Siying praise me for being handsome, I didn't feel as irritated as before and felt inexplicably happy.
"Of course, you are the most handsome person I have ever seen." Yun Siying was not exaggerating. She had met many people in her previous life, first in kindergarten and then in school. She hadn't even finished junior high school when the end of the world came.
In such a cruel and killing world, with a lack of water and food, people have to fight zombies and look for survival supplies every day. How can they have time to pay attention to their image and hygiene? How can they see a handsome guy?
Nangong Ruochen felt his earlobes burning as he listened, and walked forward somewhat leisurely. When he came to a fenced yard, he called out, "Uncle Fugui, are you home?"
"Who is it?" A childish voice sounded in the house. As soon as the words fell, a boy of seven or eight years old walked out of the yard. The moment he saw Nangong Ruochen, he pretended to be calm and his voice trembled a little: "Nan, Nangong Zhiqing, what do you want to see my grandfather for?"
"It's this Yun Zhiqing next to me who wants to build a stove, and she wants your grandfather to help her build it. She can exchange it for something." Nangong Ruochen looked at the expression of the child and held his forehead with his hand. He was a man who beat people less, but those he beat were not good people, okay?
