Xiao Jing looked at Xu Yin: "Yin Yin, what do you think?"
Xu Yin thought for a moment and said, "If the three of us move here, will it be too crowded? How about I live here and tidy up the kang so that I can sleep alone."
"But this room is too damp."
"It will be fine if the kang is heated."
"The windows are all infested with insects and there is air leakage."
"It's okay, just use it as a vent, and let some moonlight come in at night."
"..."
Finally, Xiao Jing and Huang Xiaohong chose to move in with Aunt Fang's two daughters.
"Xu Yin, I'm sorry..."
Xiao Jing felt embarrassed.
She was the one who pulled Xu Yin to live together as a team before, and now she is the one who left Xu Yin alone in this room.
Xu Yin Asha waved her hand vigorously: "Hi! There's nothing to be sorry for. There's just a wall between us, shouldn't we still live together?"
To be honest, no matter how simple the environment of a single room is, it is better than a public house with no privacy at all.
Moreover, the conditions of this single room are much better than she imagined. At least the earthen walls are quite strong. Although the wooden windows are a little leaky, it is a sunny day at the moment. When the windows are opened, the blocked sunlight pours in. It is windy but it does not seem to feel
cold.
Xu Yin immediately expressed that she liked this place very much, making Aunt Fang smile from ear to ear.
Seeing the expressions of Xiao Jing and Huang Xiaohong just now, she was worried that these three lesbians would dislike her home and would not want to live here. Just do it! Just do it!
"Sister, please wait for me for a while. I'll send them over and help you clean up." Aunt Fang said.
Xu Yin waved her hand: "No need, ma'am, I can do it myself."
Isn't it just cleaning? Sister can handle it!
When Aunt Fang led Xiao Jing and the two of them to her daughter's room, Xu Yin put on a mask and sleeves and cleaned the small small room thoroughly——
Brush off the cobwebs, plug up the mouse holes, repair the leaky windows, tidy up the collapsed kang, and before putting away the luggage, let out the vacuum cleaner robot to suck up the dust in every corner while no one is coming in.
Clean.
"Not bad, not bad!" Xu Yin looked around with satisfaction, "Except for the corner of the kang that collapsed, everything else is fine!"
But she didn't plan to trouble Uncle Fang to repair the kang. As long as it could be heated, if it was repaired as it was before - it could sleep three people in a squeeze, maybe Xiao Jing and the other two would choose to move back.
Xu Xiaojiiling Yin only made room for one person, laid out the bedding, and then put the neatly folded clothes next to the quilt like a dividing line. After cleaning the kang surface on the other side, it served as her small dining table.
Washbasins, lunch boxes, enamel tubs, toothbrush cups and other daily necessities are placed one by one.
After the chimney was cleared and the kang fire started, I found that this small room was quite warm and comfortable.
Xiao Jing and Huang Xiaohong got to know the aunt's two daughters for a while. After putting away their luggage, they came to see Xu Yin. After this look, eh? It only lasted half an hour at most. Why did it feel so different?
But if you look closely, it doesn't seem to have changed much, it's just cleaner than before.
"It's just a little crowded." Xiao Jing said, "Besides a kang, there is nothing else, and there is no place to put clothes."
Huang Xiaohong was a little envious: "After cleaning up, it looks good like this! It's more spacious than ours when sleeping alone."
When Xu Yin heard what she said, she sounded the alarm in her heart: Sisters, you don't want to switch with me, do you?
At this time, the assembly whistle sounded outside.
Xiao Jing: "There's a meeting going on, right?"
Xu Yin stood up immediately: "Let's go then!"
If you stay for a second longer, your small private room will be in more danger.
Fu Rongxing called everyone together to discuss two things: one was to open up wasteland, and the other was to build houses.
"Spring plowing is about to begin. The task of our reclamation team is to open up fields suitable for farming before spring plowing, so that we can catch up with the pace of spring plowing. Otherwise, the villagers' fields have been planted with grain, and our land will still be barren...
…Besides, don’t rush back to your residence after work every day, follow the uncles in the village who know how to build houses and build our temporary home as soon as possible.”
"Since spring plowing is so urgent, can't we wait until spring plowing is over before building a house?" A team member raised his hand and asked.
Captain Fu shook his head: "There is no time after the spring plowing, and there are more wastelands waiting for us to reclaim them. Other reclamation teams have also arrived at the reclamation points one after another, and each team is competing. Have you heard of Fenggu County? They just came.
Thirty people, our team has almost twice as many people. If we can't defeat a team of thirty people with so many people, do you think our faces will be red? Think about the purpose of our coming here - we are here to reclaim the wasteland.
! Not here to enjoy the blessings! Everything is for the purpose of reclaiming wasteland. Building a house can only take a break from the busy work, and it is impossible to arrange time alone."
"..."
It was silent for a few seconds, and I was wailing in my heart: To put it lightly, it is tiring enough to open up wasteland, but you still have to build a house when you come back?
"Captain, where is the Fenggu Reclamation Team stationed? Is it also in Hewozitun?" someone asked.
"No, they are in another village, far away from here. At that time, we will open up wasteland in the northeast direction, and they will open up wasteland in the northwest direction. When the grain fields opened are connected, our task of clearing up wasteland will be completed."
At this point, Captain Fu clapped his hands and boosted morale: "Bring out the energy of our passionate young people and cheer me up! Next, we will divide into groups of ten, and the first group will have the hardest work, which is to open the way.
The pioneers are responsible for clearing up wasteland in the true sense. They need to loosen the hardened wasteland, which requires some strength; the second group uses rake to tidy up the plowed land; the third group picks up the stones and weeds in the soil, and when the work is finished,
The first and second groups picked the same place together. The rocks will be used to build the house later, and the weeds will be removed for compost. As for the place to build the house, I will discuss it with the liaison officer later and decide on it. There is no rush; the fourth group
They are responsible for fertilizing and watering; the fifth group is responsible for breeding and transplanting..."
As soon as Captain Fu finished explaining the group tasks, he heard a "hula" and most people stood in line. Almost all the young women chose the fifth group.
There were seventeen young women from the Yuanshan Reclamation Team, including Xu Yin. Except for Xu Yin who stood still, the other sixteen people all rushed to the fifth group the moment the captain finished speaking.
But there were only ten people in a group, and the six people at the bottom were secretly annoyed that they were a step too late, so they regretfully quit and settled for the third group.
The job of picking up rocks and weeds is barely okay. Aren't there still one or two groups left after picking them up? The men will definitely have to plow and prepare the land. After we call it a day, can't we just let them pick them back along the way? As for fertilizing and watering
, they won’t even consider it in the exam. Fertilizing is such a smelly job, let alone letting them do it, they will feel disgusted from a distance.
"Xu Yin! Choose quickly! Why are you so stupid!"
Xiao Jing was just happy that she ran fast and grabbed the fifth group. She looked up and found that Xu Yin was still standing there. She was so anxious that she winked at her to remind her.
