chapter 75: Moving

“How could that be? Comrade Li, if you don’t understand something next time, you can ask me.

Brother Shili tutored me in my homework. I know everything he knows. It’s not long since I graduated, so Brother Shili may have forgotten many things I know.”

Zhou Rongrong looked at Li Xiangxiu with a smile.

The two of them didn’t talk for a long time, but they talked like sisters.

Lin Weiwan and the others saw it, and seeing Shen Shili’s happy expression, they couldn’t help but show a sarcastic look.

In the afternoon, several people carried the bundled wheat to the drying yard one after another.

Even if they used towels to pad their shoulders, their shoulders and feet were burning. It was estimated that blisters had been rubbed and burst.

As the sky gradually darkened, Lin Weiwan’s group was the second team to return to the educated youth point.

Several people started to wash with water directly, and used red-hot needles to prick the blisters to drain the pus inside.

This way, it will be much better overnight, and there is no need to worry that the blisters will be crushed when working the next day, which will be more painful.

After Lin Weiwan finished cleaning up, she started to cook. Hu Xiaopang was so hungry that he saw stars in his eyes. He sat beside Lin Weiwan with an egg cake.

“Xiaowan sister, what have you cooked again? It smells so good.”

Hu Xiaopang looked at Lin Weiwan with his eyes full of bubbles. His round face was bulging as he bit the egg cake.

“It’s just a simple stewed rice with bacon.” Lin Weiwan stewed the rice on a low fire while making dried plum cakes, preparing to eat them tomorrow morning and tomorrow lunch.

The small house at the back will be burned for another day tonight, and we can move in after work tomorrow.

“You don’t have to cook today?” Lin Weiwan smiled and looked at Hu Xiaopang’s greedy look. The main thing is that this kid looks too festive, and it’s really hard to dislike him.

“Today, Xu Xiaohong, Cui Hongying, and Du Shanshan will cook. Brother Ye and Brother Shen will cook tomorrow.”

Hu Xiaopang sighed as he looked at the two groups of people who had not returned yet. It was estimated that dinner would be late today.

He took an axe to help Lin Weiwan chop the firewood on the side. Although he was tired, the fragrance of the dried plum cakes was his motivation.

The cornmeal steamed bread at the old educated youth’s place was already out of the pot, and Lin Weiwan’s place was also baking the pancakes.

The aroma of the bacon stewed rice lingered over the educated youth’s place for a long time.

With a “bang”, the door of the educated youth’s place was pushed open, and Du Shanshan, Xu Xiaohong, Lin Huahua and Zheng Jianguo walked back.

Several people looked grim, and it seemed that they did not get along well.

Zheng Jianguo and the other two returned to the old educated youth’s place to wash up and eat directly.

Hu Xiaopang held a small piece of pickled mustard pancake in his mouth, looking at the angry people with a colon all over his face.

Cui Hongying saw that the old educated youth had already eaten, and smelled the aroma of bacon in the yard, and her face became even uglier.

“Hu Xiaopang, you only know how to eat. You didn’t even cook dinner when you came back so early.”

Cui Hongying felt that they were all together, and now that they came back from work first, they could cook the food, so that everyone would not have to eat late and go hungry.

“Isn’t it your turn today? Why should I do it? Even if you want to exchange work with me, you should tell me in advance. It’s not the case that whoever comes back first will do it.

If you say that, then why should we take turns? We can’t stop working just because you come back late.”

How could Hu Xiaopang not fight back when he was bullied innocently?

“Then you just wait slowly.” Cui Hongying was so angry that she threw away the water in the enamel basin and slowly washed her face, neck and arms.

Shen Minghua came back with firewood and heard Cui Hongying’s words. He felt that it was a problem of whether to eat together sooner or later.

Ye Jibai came back after Shen Minghua and brought a bundle of firewood for himself and Lin Weiwan.

After packing up, Lin Weiwan took out the newspaper, the hairbrush and the cooked batter and walked to the backyard.

After dinner, Wang Qiaoyun saw Lin Weiwan walking back and followed her.

Ye Jibai and the other two also followed to the backyard and looked at the small earth brick house that had been built.

“Let us help you get all your stuff here. There will be more work to do in the next few days, so why not move everything today?”

Ye Jibai thought it would be better to move out. The front yard was too messy, and people would always take a nap, so it was inevitable that they would be attacked by those people.

“Okay, thank you for your help. When it’s done, we’ll heat up the pot tomorrow night.”

Lin Weiwan thought it was a good idea, and it would be much more convenient to move in.

The three of them went to Uncle Dasheng’s house to get Lin Weiwan’s things, and Lin Weiwan and Wu Qiaoyun went back to get their luggage.

Lin Weiwan boiled water and filled the thermos, put in the loquat paste she brought from home, and put about ten milliliters of Lingquan water in it while no one was around.

Several people have been helping him for so long, and they still have to go to work tomorrow. This amount will not be discovered, and it can also relieve their fatigue.

Ye Jibai and the other two came back, and Uncle Dasheng also came with them. The four big men put Lin Weiwan’s things away in a few trips.

They also went to the front yard to get Lin Weiwan’s big kang cabinet back, and the small newspapers in the house were posted in a short while.

The kang mat was laid out on the kang, a kang cabinet was placed on the kang, a kang table was placed in the corner, and Lin Weiwan’s stool was also brought over.

Ye Jibai brought Lin Weiwan’s pot over, smeared it with yellow mud and set it up.

Hu Xiaopang brought all the firewood that Lin Weiwan had chopped before, piled it behind the kitchen door, and stacked it neatly against the wall.

Shen Minghua and Uncle Dasheng ran back and forth several times to help Lin Weiwan fill the water tank with water.

Lin Weiwan took out a bowl and poured water for several people. Dasheng didn’t want to drink it, but he was persuaded by Lin Weiwan and drank a bowl.

“This water is fragrant and sweet, it’s great.” Dasheng didn’t expect that the little girl would be willing to take out jam to make water for several people to drink.

“Uncle Dasheng, I’ll warm the pot at home tomorrow, you and aunt can come over.”

Lin Weiwan invited this uncle who helped her several times.

“You guys eat, your aunt and I won’t come over, I’ll go back first, just call me if you need anything.”

Dasheng didn’t want the little girl to spend money, these days every family’s food is really counted.

“Sister Xiaowan, your water is so delicious, what did you put in it?” Hu Xiaopang has a special liking for food.

Wang Qiaoyun also looked at Lin Weiwan curiously.

“I made a few cans of loquat paste today and gave them to Aunt Qin next door. My house was robbed before I went to the countryside, and everything was lost.

When I went to the countryside, Aunt Qin stuffed it into my bag and brought it to me.”

Lin Weiwan sighed and almost let it slip. Next time, don’t be reckless and take things out.

I thought it would be special if I added Lingquan water, so I added some loquat paste that I didn’t eat often to prevent others from suspecting it.

It’s better than going back and drinking sugar water and finding that it’s different from what they drink here.

After all, the first reaction of drinking Lingquan water is to moisten the throat.

“No wonder it tastes so good. I’ll make some when I get home.” Hu Xiaopang nodded, planning to ask his family to make some when he got home.

“We’ll go back first. You live alone. Lock the door at night.”

Ye Jibai saw that it was getting late, so he left with a few people.

Lin Weiwan locked the door and propped up two wooden sticks.

I went back to the inner room and took out the alarm clock I used at home. I checked the time with my watch.

It was nine o’clock in the evening.

I put the alarm clock on the kang cabinet.
