"Comrades, let's go in and pack things up first." Li Tianbao was arranging things, and he had already picked up things in his hands.
Others think the same thing is happening, and if they wait any longer, they will have no place to stay at night.
There is a large red brick building here. The door in the middle is open, and there are tables and stools. It is probably a place to eat.
There are single-room dormitories next to it, each room has a window, and there is a pigsty at the end, and there are actually two pigs eating in it.
"There is no one in this room, Comrade Shen Man, I live in this room." Wang Yue greeted, then quickly opened the door and entered the room.
Another lesbian who was traveling with me helped carry the luggage and chose the room next door. Now there is only the last room left, but there is a vegetable garden next to it, which is better.
"Xu Jie, go and choose a room quickly. The only one left next to the pig pen will be the one next to the pig pen." Two lesbians who were traveling with him urged him to choose a room quickly.
Hearing this, Xu Jie smiled and said: "It's okay, Qiao Xin, it's just a place to sleep. I'll bring the things over and you can pack them away first."
Seeing him like this, Qiao Xin put a smile on her face, pursed her lips and took the luggage in.
Here, Shen Man first swept away the dust in the house, and then took out the mat on the kang to bask in the sun.
The mat is woven and looks pretty good, at least there are no holes.
There is nothing in the house, so I just need to sweep the dust and sweep the floor.
She was quick with her hands and feet, and she finished cleaning up in a short time. She sprinkled some water on the house, and when the ashes fell away, she could go inside and stay.
After the mat was wiped dry, Shen Man took it back and spread it on the kang. It was not cold yet, so the kang would probably have to be heated in a while.
Seeing as there isn't much firewood in the yard, everyone will definitely have to collect firewood together.
She filled a basin of water and washed her face, then closed the door and pulled a sheet over the window.
This was from the original owner and has not been used since it was cleaned. It would be too luxurious to use new ones, but these old sheets are just right.
After the door was locked, Shen Man was a little excited to finally be able to enter the space. She had been frustrated these past few days. It was the first time she had not used the space for so long.
After entering the space, everything familiar appears before your eyes.
Except for a cubicle in the corner, the rest of the place was piled with supplies and nothing could be seen.
This compartment is a single bed with bedding, a table, and some personal clothing and toiletries.
Usually when Shen Man goes out to purchase goods, he stays in the space. He is not used to staying in a hotel. Except for not being able to take a shower or use the toilet, everything is available here.
With this space, she felt extremely at ease, and even felt lucky that she had not lost these things.
Because these things are all goods she brought back from other places, she needs to buy them in the supermarket.
Of course, drinks such as water are all delivered locally.
You have to buy some specialties by yourself, which is very convenient. If you have space, you don’t need to call a car, which saves you a fortune in fares.
Shen Man found some new underwear that he had purchased before and put them on the single bed, and then wiped his body with mineral water. He couldn't take a shower, but the sweat was quite uncomfortable.
After wiping off, I put on clean clothes, ate a steamed bun, and then came out of the space.
These breakfasts are all prepared to prevent running out of food on a business trip, but there is not much food. Eat a little and eat a little. If you had known better, you would have prepared more.
After coming out of the space, she heard someone talking outside, so she opened the door and went out to take a look.
Several young men in coarse clothes and straw hats stood in the yard, and in front of them stood a few newly arrived educated youths.
She also walked over, and then Li Tianbao took the initiative to introduce her.
"This is Comrade Shen Man from the capital. He just cleaned up the house."
"Comrade Shen Man, these are all seniors of our collective household!"
Hearing this, Shen Man nodded, and everyone said hello.
The leader, a gay man in his 26s and 77s, named Chen Zhipeng, came out and said: "Our collective households all open fires individually and pick up firewood by yourself. When you first come here, you need to get to know each other for two days. If there is firewood over there, use it first."
Let’s go collect firewood together when the autumn harvest is over. It’s harvesting now, so let’s eat together.”
"Ah?" Qiao Xin was a little surprised and said uneasily: "I, I can't cook!"
There aren't many girls who can't cook nowadays, and there aren't many ingredients. Just cook them.
Chen Zhipeng was not surprised by this and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to cook. You can check in with others."
"What is a gang check?" Qiao Xin looked at him doubtfully.
"Chasing a gang means joining a gang, that's what the Northeast dialect says." Another lesbian on the side said, then put down her sickle and entered the room.
Chen Zhipeng shouted at her back: "Wang Yuwei, please be angry. I'll cook later."
Then he said to another girl: "Zhang Min, go and help."
"Okay!" Zhang Min, a young girl in her twenties, wiped the sweat from her head and followed.
Everyone else went inside to wash their faces and rest. After working all morning, everyone was very tired.
The sun was scorching, so it was really hard to work in the fields on this day.
Seeing everyone entering the house, Shen Man stood in the yard.
Not far away, Captain Zhang Fenghai came over with two bags of things. He entered the yard and said, "All new comers come to this room."
Everyone came over after hearing the sound, and everyone came into the house with their bags.
After putting down the things, he said: "Your rations will be deducted at the end of the year. The autumn harvest has been very busy recently. If you can, start working tomorrow."
In fact, he didn't expect these people to do much work, but he didn't expect it now. The work wasn't finished yet.
When they heard that work would start tomorrow, no one said anything, but they definitely felt uncomfortable.
After riding in the car for three days and nights, although Shen Man was tired, she didn't feel like she couldn't do the work. After all, she knew before she came that she was going to the countryside to work, not to support her old age.
At noon, the collective household cooks a big pot of rice, a pot of beans and potatoes stewed, and the rice is a big pancake made of corn flour.
To be honest, before everyone came here, what we ate at home was a mixture of coarse and fine grains, and no one actually ate whole grains.
Shen Man picked up a big pancake and ate it. The taste was a little sweet, which was the fragrance of corn itself. Although it was a bit stuck in the throat when eating it, it tasted very good.
Lard is added to the stewed beans and potatoes, so it tastes good.
After finishing the meal, all the new educated youths, except Shen Man who had no objection, were more or less unhappy.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, all the old educated youths went to work, while they were resting in their rooms.
Shen Man locked the door, then closed the curtain and entered the space. He rummaged through several canned foods, cleaned the labels and dates on them, and put them together separately.
When there is nothing to eat in the future, she can use it to improve the food, and there are still some things that she has not sorted out.
The two pigs I bought from the countryside have been processed, and there are also chickens, ducks, geese, and eggs that I keep for myself.
