Quickly wear, the host just wants to be bad
Chapter 20: Cannon Fodder Educated Youth in Period Literature 7
When the two returned to their new home, they saw that it had been tidied up, even the rooms were cleaned very well. They knew that the captain must have put a lot of effort into finding someone.
Just as the two of them finished tidying up the room, the carpenter's family delivered the furniture and helped move the things into the room before leaving.
Finally, when no one was around, the two began to pack their luggage, taking out their quilts and clothes, folding them and putting them in the closet.
He also put some canned food, candies, malted milk and milk powder that Shen's mother had packed for him into a small cabinet and locked it.
Daily necessities were also taken out, and it took the two of them a while to pack up.
The two of them took the food to the kitchen cabinet. Today, they both bought fine grains and meat in tacit understanding.
"Qingqing, I'm going to the village to find someone to put the pot on. Do you want to come with me?"
"I won't go. The coal and coal stove will be delivered soon. I'll wait at home."
"Okay, I'll buy some firewood as well."
Shen Yue came to the brigade headquarters and saw that the captain was really there, so she told him the purpose of her visit.
The captain told her to just go back and wait. After hearing that, Shen Yue took out three dollars and gave it to him.
"Uncle Captain, these three dollars are for repairing the house yesterday and installing the pot later. Do you think it's enough?"
"If it's too much, take two dollars back. I'll ask my two sons to fill the pot for you later. It's just a two-step process and won't cost much."
"Uncle, please accept all of them. I'm new here, and I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future. I can't always let you find people to work without paying you."
The captain thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take it. Don't worry, I'll send someone to your pot later."
Shen Yue thought of buying firewood: "Oh, uncle, we just moved here, and we don't have anything at home. I want to exchange some firewood in the village. Who do you think is convenient?"
"When you go back later, you will pass by a big poplar tree. There is a family next to the tree. They are a poor family in the village. The adults in the family are gone, and there are only three brothers and sisters left. You can go to their house to buy it."
"Okay, thank you, Captain."
Shen Yue arrived at the house the captain mentioned and knocked on the door: "Is anyone home?"
Soon, two thin children came out. The boy looked about seven or eight years old, and the girl was thin and small, looking only three or four years old.
Shen Yue looked at them and her voice softened: "Hello, I heard from the captain that I can exchange firewood at your house, right?"
"Yes sister, how much do you want to change?"
"How did you change the firewood?"
"Sister, we are close to the mountains here, firewood is not valuable, just give us some food."
"How about this? I'll give you five dollars and 20 kilograms of coarse grains, and you can provide me with firewood for a year?"
When the boy heard this, his eyes lit up. His brother was the only one in his family who could earn work points, but he could not get full points and could barely keep himself from starving all year round. This sister had to buy firewood from his family for a long time.
He also heard that two female educated youth moved into the hunter's house. They and their sister could collect all the firewood, so their brother could have an easier time.
The boy said shyly: "Sister, yes, but the money you gave is too much, three dollars will be enough."
I'm not a saint, but two dollars is really not a big deal to me. It's just that seeing these two skinny little kids looks so pitiful.
"It's okay. My family needs firewood for two people, and we also need to store it for the winter. We need a lot, so five dollars is just right. OK, it's settled. I'll give you the food when you deliver the firewood to my house later."
After saying that, Shen Yue left five dollars and left.
When Shen Yue returned home, she found that the coal delivered was already made into briquettes: "Qingqing, did you buy briquettes?"
"No, I bought coal, but it's more convenient to use this way, so I asked my relatives to give me ready-made coal briquettes."
"Well, it's quite convenient. I'll go get it for you, how much did you spend on the coal and stove today?"
"Well, the coal is 28 yuan, the processing fee is 6 yuan, the two coal stoves are 4 yuan, and the two clay pots are 56 yuan. You can give me 16 yuan."
"How can that be possible? All these things require industrial tickets. I'll give you the tickets and the money together."
Zhou Qing laughed after hearing this: "Hehe, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. By the way, just deduct the money for repairing the house, the iron pot, and buying firewood."
"Okay, two iron pots for 15 yuan each, no tickets required, three yuan for house repairs, five yuan for firewood, we'll split these two items in half."
"Okay, just do the math."
"After deducting these, I still have to give you 32 yuan."
As he said that, he went into the room, took out the industrial ticket and money and handed them to Zhou Qing.
Both of them knew that in order to maintain long-term harmony in their future life, they must be clear about money matters.
Shen Yue went back to her room and counted her small piggy bank. She came out with 2385 yuan. She had spent more than yuan on house, furniture, stove and other things in the past two days. Fortunately, she had bought almost everything she needed.
Soon, there was a sound in the yard. It turned out that the people who were responsible for pressing the pot had arrived. They were the captain's two sons, Zhou Jianmin and Zhou Jianshe.
The two men greeted each other and went to the kitchen. The pot was installed very quickly. After the other party installed it, he went outside to find some hay to burn it. He left only after making sure there was no problem.
Not long after they left, two little kids came over carrying a bundle of firewood each. "Sister, where should we put this firewood?"
"Just put it in the woodshed outside the kitchen."
After the two children put away the firewood, Shen Yue handed them a cloth bag filled with food: "I don't even know your names yet."
The boy smiled shyly: "Sister, my name is Erzhu, this is my sister Huniu, and I have a brother named Dazhu."
Shen Yue and Zhou Qing rubbed their heads and gave each of them two White Rabbit candies before letting them leave.
Zhou Qing also heard Shen Yue talk about Erzhu's family situation, so she had no objection to Shen Yue buying a year's supply of firewood from them for 5 yuan.
The two were already very tired today, so they wanted to finish their meal early and rest. They first boiled the lard that Shen Yue bought, and then marinated a small piece of the meat they bought today with salt.
Fortunately, the pots Shen Yue took out were already cooked, so they could be used directly after washing.
For dinner, the two of them simply fried some shredded potatoes and braised pork with green beans and simmered two bowls of rice. After they quickly finished their meal and cleaned up, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Shen Yue was very tired today, so she didn't go into the space to practice and fell asleep outside.
The next morning, they both got up early and packed up. Zhou Qing mixed some batter and made a few pancakes.
Then each of them made a cup of malted milk, and they both had a satisfying breakfast with pancakes.
Shen Yue filled their military kettles with boiled water. Knowing that they would not be able to adapt to the work on the first day, she dripped a drop of spiritual spring water into Zhou Qing's kettle and asked her to take it with her.
