Traveling between the 70s and the modern world
Chapter 12 Lessons
The autumn harvest was coming to an end. During this period, the village chief's wife helped to make connections, and Lin Qingyan bought some bricks and wood from the villagers.
This made Sun Qiu Shui very jealous.
"Some people are just spendthrifts, and they act like capitalist ladies, they have houses to live in, and they build separate houses."
"Why did I build a kitchen and renovate the house at the Youth League site? Don't you know better than anyone else?"
"Qingyan, even though you decided not to share a meal with us, we can all share things at the Youth League Center, and you can use the kitchen."
Wang Xiangyu spoke softly and in a low voice, but there was a hint of gloom in her eyes when she looked at Lin Qingyan.
Compared to Sun Qiushui's annoying appearance,
In fact, Lin Qingyan hated the usually silent Wang Xiangyu even more. She felt that being stared at by her was like being stared at by a poisonous snake.
"Really? Thank you so much!" Lin Qingyan didn't want to offend such a venomous person.
On the second day after the autumn harvest, the village chief brought three big men from the village, all of whom were the top workers in the village.
Although Lin Qingyan paid the wages directly, she still used the kitchen of the educated youth center to make mung bean soup while watching the three people working hard. She even exchanged the mung beans with the villagers in the village.
In order to move into the new house as soon as possible and explore the world decades later,
He then took the money to the team to buy corn and flour, and used the corn flour and flour mixed together to make steamed buns for the three people who came to help him for lunch.
Cornmeal was a fine grain at that time. The three of them received one yuan a day each, as well as steamed buns and mung bean soup. They all had happy smiles on their faces and looked very satisfied. They worked faster and more steadily.
The repair of the four walls was completed in just one day, and the remaining roof and kitchen can be completed in three days at this rate.
There is no trivial matter in the village. Any trivial matter in someone's family will quickly spread throughout the village.
Naturally, Lin Qingyan's renovation of the house and the addition of a kitchen were met with some sour remarks from the aunties and grandmas.
"Lin Zhiqing is such a spendthrift. He doesn't use the good kitchen at the Zhiqing site and instead builds a separate kitchen for himself."
"That's right, she really doesn't know how to live. Who would dare to marry her in the future?"
"She's skinny and weak, and you can tell she's not good at bearing children. Why don't you marry her and treat her like an ancestor?"
"I heard that Lin Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing were dating before?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Wang Cheng, the educated youth, is going to marry Cuihua, the captain's daughter, soon."
These words more or less reached Lin Qingyan's ears. After experiencing rebirth and witnessing the prosperity of the future,
She doesn't care much about these things. The mouth is on someone else's body and she has no right to interfere.
But in this era, reputation is very strict, especially for women, and reputation has a huge impact. Just when I was looking for an opportunity to teach him a lesson, Sun Qiushui bumped into me.
On the third day of the house renovation, Lin Qingyan was setting up the stove and building the porch. She estimated that the work could be completed today.
In the past few days, except for Ye Yi, Xu Jianshan and Fang Yunxing were all the people who were idle at the educated youth point to help.
Lin Qingyan prepared to cook a normal meal for the people who helped, and went out to exchange some eggs for the village chief's wife.
As soon as I left the educated youth site, I heard Sun Qiu Shui's voice outside the yard.
"Building a kitchen is just an excuse to build a house and move in."
"Before, your educated youth center always had two people living in one room. Isn't this educated youth Lin very close to Ye Yi? Why did he move out alone?"
"A girl living alone, with several bachelors in the yard, who knows what will happen."
"Oh hey, this is not possible?"
"Why not? She used to cling to Wang Cheng, but now Wang Cheng is going to marry the captain's daughter. The captain's wife is not easy to get along with. She probably won't dare to cling to Wang Cheng anymore."
"Could it be that she has other prospects?"
Lin Qingyan was about to leave, but when she heard what they said became more and more outrageous, she quickly walked over.
"Comrade Sun Qiushui should know about the crime of hooliganism, right? Let me advise you that hooliganism is not convicted only of hooliganism.
Making ambiguous and frivolous remarks can also convict one of hooliganism.
I advise you to think before you speak. Spreading rumors without any basis is also a hooligan behavior."
Lin Qingyan glared at Sun Qiu Shui, then glanced at the two young wives from the village who were chatting happily nearby.
"I don't want to hear this again. If I hear someone else saying this,
I will go to the commune and report you as a person who spreads rumors, behaves improperly, and has extremely dirty thoughts. Such people should be sent to the farm for labor education."
Sun Qiu Shui's face suddenly turned pale and he looked at Lin Qingyan in amazement.
After spending too long in the countryside, chatting with the aunties and grandmas about all kinds of gossip, she gradually forgot that the mouth can cause trouble.
At this point, Sun Qiu Shui began to feel a little scared. She had completely forgotten that the mouth can cause trouble.
"I didn't say anything..."
Sun Ruoshui said without confidence that the two young wives nearby had never seen such a scene before, and when they heard about the labor education reform in the countryside, they were so scared that they dared not speak.
Before Sun Qiu Shui could explain anything, Lin Qingyan turned around and left.
She didn't want to waste time on these useless quarrels and disputes. This wasn't her home.
Why should she give in to others and spoil them? In her previous life, even though she couldn't work and was always sick, her parents and brother never disliked her, nor did they make her feel uncomfortable. It was her brother...
"Auntie, are you home?" Lin Qingyan walked to the gate of the village chief's house, looked at the half-open yard, and shouted inside.
"Xiao Lin Zhiqing, how come the kitchen is already built?"
The village chief's wife wiped the water off her apron with both hands and walked out to meet Lin Qingyan.
"The stove has been built, only the pot is missing. The corridor has not been built yet. Uncle Dagen and his men are busy working on it.
I can finish it today and I am going to cook to thank them. I am wondering if anyone has eggs, can you exchange some for me?"
Lin Qingyan asked with a smile looking at the village head's wife.
"You are such an honest girl. Your village chief uncle had already agreed with Da Genzi and the others to give them one dollar a day but no meals. I heard that you gave them steamed buns and cooked mung bean porridge for lunch these two days."
The village chief's wife looked at Lin Qingyan with disapproval.
"Aunt, we are all from the same village. Uncle Dagen and his men work quickly and repair the house well. This has solved a lot of problems for me. I am especially grateful to them, and also to you and the village chief for your help.
If it weren't for your help, I don't know when I can finish building this kitchen." Lin Qingyan said nice things without asking for money.
The village chief's wife's expression softened. "Okay, I have eggs at home, you can just take them home and use them."
As he said that, he walked into the kitchen and came out with a basket containing a dozen eggs.
"Thank you, Auntie. I have a few meat coupons sent by my family. They will expire in two months. Can I exchange them for an egg?"
Lin Qingyan took out a few tickets from her pocket.
"Okay." The village chief's wife took the meat coupon handed over by Lin Qingyan and saw that it was a meat coupon for 2 kilograms.
"Oh, kid, I gave you too much. Wait for your aunt to go in and get more."
"Auntie, thank you very much for your help. If I don't have a ticket at the market, I won't be able to buy eggs."
Lin Qingyan quickly grabbed the village chief's wife.
"How can I be so rude and take advantage of you."
The village chief's wife still broke free from Lin Qingyan's hand, cut a piece of bacon hanging outside the kitchen and handed it to Lin Qingyan, which weighed about two or three taels.
Lin Qingyan thought about the people who were going to eat and the dishes that could be cooked, and finally accepted the bacon.
He took out a cloth coupon from his pocket and stuffed it into the hand of the village chief's wife.
"Auntie, please accept this. I'm going to the countryside to support rural construction. I don't know when I can return to the city. I may have a lot of trouble for you in the future."
"If you have any problem, just come to me. I know everyone in the village well. If you need anything, I can help you find it."
The village chief's wife looked at the cloth coupons in her hand, which were hard to get in that era, and hesitated before finally accepting them.
"Then I thank you in advance, Auntie!"
Lin Qingyan left with satisfaction, and the village chief's wife also collected the two tickets with satisfaction.
