Chapter 34

The days were spent in eating, drinking and playing.

Song Shuxi has lived in the family compound for two months.

Today, Song Shuxi can make some simple home-cooked dishes. The taste is not good or bad, but it is normal and edible. Going to the sea and picking mountain products are the reserved projects of Song Shuxi and Tian Tiantian. Occasionally, Sister Ding and Sister Feng will participate. Maybe they are lucky and have a good harvest.

There are a lot of dry goods stored at home.

When she is alone at home, Song Shuxi will look through the books in the space. Now she has completely integrated the memories of the original owner and learned all her skills. Recently, Song Shuxi is studying painting, combining Chinese painting with Western oil painting, and trying new painting methods.

The winter in Huludao comes earlier. Now you need to wear a thick coat when you go out in the morning and evening, and the mountain products on the mountain are also ripe. Song Shuxi, who

rarely wakes up early in the morning,

rolls into Wei Jianguo’s arms skillfully, “When are you going to rest? I want to go up the mountain to pick mountain products. The sisters-in-law said that there are hairy chestnuts and pine nuts on the mountain, which are especially delicious. I can’t carry them.”

Wei Jianguo kissed the top of his wife’s head, “Let’s take a rest tomorrow. I’ll find a few people to help us prepare the firewood for the winter. We can replenish it when the weather gets colder. I’ll take half a day off the day after tomorrow, and we’ll go pick up mountain products together.”

“Okay, I also want a small stove, where I can make tea, roast chestnuts and peanuts. When it’s cold in winter, I’ll sit by the stove.”

“I’ll go buy some coal and make honeycomb coal when I come back. It’s safer to use honeycomb coal in the stove.”

The two people who stayed in bed discussed their future lives.

Song Shuqian was very satisfied with Wei Jianguo. He never let his words fall to the ground. As long as she made a request, he would give an answer. He would agree to do what he could do, and give reasons for what he couldn’t do. He would never perfunctorily fool around.

This kind of cherishing is something Song Shuqian has longed for in both of her lives.

“If I ask someone to help prepare firewood, will I be reported? Is it capitalism?” Recently, a new family member came to the compound, who liked to make reports, and Qian Lanhua, who wanted to get ahead with this, the atmosphere in the family compound is very bad now.

“No, we won’t pay them. It’s just a favor between comrades. Let’s have dinner at home tomorrow night. I’ll go hunt some game and we’ll have something greasy.”

“There are still meat coupons at home. I’ll buy two pounds of meat tomorrow and exchange some fish with fellow villagers. Don’t go hunting in the mountains recently. If people find out, they’ll say you’re fleecing socialism.” In the family compound now, no one dares to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables openly, for fear of being accused of those belonging to the collective.

It’s really a mess. Everyone is in danger and it’s in chaos.

With the help of the spiritual liquid, the vegetables planted by Song Shuqian are growing well. She plans to slowly pick them up and dry them into dried vegetables, dried potatoes, dried mushrooms, dried beans, dried sweet potatoes, and various dried seafood stored in the past two months. They should be enough to eat in the winter.

Now each family is allowed to raise two chickens. Song Shuqian also raises them in the yard. They lay two eggs a day. Their family really has no shortage of eggs now.

After discussing it, it’s almost time.

Wei Jianguo still must go to training.

Song Shuqian also had to get up to make winter clothes and change a few quilts. The current kang was too hard and she was uncomfortable sleeping.

It was the first time for Song Shuqian to make a kang mat. The kang in her house was very large, 3 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. It was a bit difficult for her to do it alone.

“Shuqian, are you at home?”

Tian Tiantian’s voice came from outside. Today, she asked Sister Ding, Sister Feng and the other three to come to help.

“Hey, wait a minute, I’ll be there soon.” Song Shuqian agreed and walked out of the kang.

The neighbors nearby did not close the courtyard door during the day. If someone came to visit, the more particular ones would shout at the door twice, and the less particular ones would just come in directly.

Song Shuqian didn’t like outsiders invading her territory, nor did she like others to come to her to chat for no reason. In addition, Ma Caoya and the other two came to her house to rob things last time.

Song Shuqian took advantage of the situation and developed a good habit of locking the door.

There were also people in the compound who said some unpleasant things, making up stories about her doing something shameful at home and not wanting to integrate into the group of military wives. Song Shuqian scoffed at this. She didn’t need such stupid tricks after she was 7 years old.

Fortunately, most of the family compound was smart, and these rumors didn’t reach her.

The four of them came in and saw the new cabinet made by Song Shuqian’s family.

The characteristics of their cabinet are that it is high and has a lot of space. It goes directly to the roof on the kang and is divided into many small grids in the middle. There are grids for summer clothes and grids for thick quilts. This one is equivalent to seven or eight ordinary kang cabinets.

Tian Tiantian looked around as soon as she came in, “This is the new cabinet made by your family. It’s very convenient and can hold more things. “

Sister Ding and Sister Feng also liked it very much, touching here and looking there.

“How is it? It’s more convenient to live like this,” Song Shuqian said proudly. This house has been renovated.

Last month, it rained heavily outside and drizzled inside. The newspapers and other things on the wall were all stained and looked very ugly.

When Wei Jianguo was repairing the roof, he also painted the walls and re-made some furniture.

Two cabinets that Song Shuqian brought from Jinling were mixed in here. They were repainted on the outside. They looked like ordinary chests of drawers, but in fact there was a mezzanine inside.

Wei Jianguo also cleaned up their guest room and turned it into a study and workroom.

Song Shuqian is a book lover. She especially likes to curl up in a corner and immerse herself in the world of books.

This arrangement will make Song Shuqian feel at ease.

After visiting the house, Sister Ding and Sister Feng were full of envy.

“It’s so convenient for you to clean up like this. After the kang is rebuilt, lengthened and widened, children can live together. Have you also re-cleaned the windows? It feels brighter.”

“No, I just repainted the walls white, which makes it look brighter,” Song Shuqian explained.

Looking at this big house and yard, Tian Tiantian was even more dissatisfied with her own tube building.

Song Shuxi asked, “Have you submitted the application?”

“Yes, as long as there is a vacant house in the yard, we can move in. Let me tell you, it’s so lively over there in the tube building. We quarrel from the moment we open our eyes in the morning until we close our eyes at night.

We share a bathroom, and we can quarrel over the faucet in the morning. Whoever makes the loudest noise at night will be scolded. When I cook, there are so many eyes staring at me. As long as there is meat, the children will come to ask for it.

At first, I saw that the children were greedy, so I was embarrassed and gave it to them twice. Since then, whenever my family cooks, a group of people will gather around. It’s so annoying.”

Tian Tiantian now runs to Song Shuxi’s house as soon as she opens her eyes every day, and returns to her own house after dark at night. The couple doesn’t cook and eats in the cafeteria every day.

What she can’t stand the most is at night, the sound insulation is very poor, and she can often hear the corners of other people’s houses.

Although she had received an open sex education in the end times, she was still thin-skinned and could not stand others hearing her voice, so she kept suppressing her temper and dared not speak out.

Even so, the sisters-in-law would still make fun of them, saying that they had no married life at such a young age.

Tian Tiantian was so angry that she wanted to fight with them.

Listening to her complaints, Song Shuqian was particularly glad that they chose the small courtyard that no one wanted at the time.

Those sisters-in-law said everything out loud, and she could not get along with them at all.
