Hua Jianshe sent Hua Rendong back to the educated youth point and took the opportunity to check on Hua Rendong's accommodation conditions.
After looking the house inside and out, she felt that the conditions were okay. The room looked bigger than the one she lived in when she was in the staff quarters, and it was spacious enough for Hua Rendong to live alone.
He then reminded them: "Lock the doors and windows at night, and don't open the door no matter who asks you to. I'll get some steel bars when I get back to the factory, and come over in a few days to put up iron bars on the doors and windows."
Hua Honeysuckle said, "No need, uncle. I'll have someone do it in the city. It will be done in the next two days."
Thinking of the iron railings that Hua Rendong had installed at home, he knew that she had the means to do so, so he did not force her. He also told her that if she didn't eat well at the educated youth center, she could go to Zhou's house to eat. He would send her food and vegetables then, so she shouldn't feel that she was eating at Zhou's house in vain.
Hua Rendong nodded in agreement, and Hua Jianshe walked out of the educated youth center, looking back every few steps.
In the evening, Cheng Yan, Qi Yu and six male educated youth built a fire with firewood in the yard and held a party. Some people sang and danced, and they did not go to bed until midnight.
The other educated youth tried to persuade them that it was enough, but they turned a deaf ear to them.
Hua Honeysuckle couldn't bear it any longer, so she controlled the roots of the apple tree in the yard and overturned the fire. Firewood sticks with sparks flew everywhere, scalding Cheng Yan and the others so much that they screamed.
Thinking about the time when they went to the brigade headquarters to collect rations during the day, they heard from the villagers that the landlord Bai and his family were tortured to death in this yard. They were so scared that they dared not stay in the yard and ran back to their rooms and locked the door tightly.
It's finally quiet. The Going to the Countryside Movement has been going on for so many years. Are these people still going to the countryside to have fun?
I thought I could sleep peacefully after scaring those people away, but I was woken up by the noisy noise in the yard in the morning and it was still dark outside.
When I opened the window, I saw people doing morning exercises, boxing, and rope skipping in the yard. The most outrageous thing was that two male educated youths started singing one after another, "I have countless cousins at home, and they never come to visit unless there is something important..."
She didn't say anything about the good singing, but the awkward movements and the absurd tune made Hua Honeysuckle seem as if she had entered a palace story.
Cheng Yan and Qi Yu were busy cooking in the open outer room, and they would shout from time to time, "Ah? There's less water, add more water."
"Oh, there are more again. Gami gami."
"Do you know how to cook? This has turned into porridge..."
Hua Honeysuckle rubbed his aching head and suddenly began to doubt his decision to live in the new educated youth center.
Unable to sleep, Hua Jindong got dressed and went to the well in the yard to fetch some water, then heated it on the stove and used it to wash her face.
Suddenly, a tempting aroma wafted in from outside the door. Hua Honeysuckle sniffed hard: Hmm, it smells like meat.
The originally noisy yard became quiet the moment the fragrance wafted out.
Honeysuckle heard someone say, "It smells so good, why are you cooking meat again? I haven't eaten meat for a long time."
I seemed to hear some people's stomachs growling and swallowing.
Hua Rendong began to worry. She hadn't told Xia Yu about the plan to eat together yet. Would it be suspected of freeloading if she told him now? But she had to say it. Smelling such a fragrance, it would be even harder for her to swallow the food she made.
After swallowing, I decided to close the door and eat the delicious food that Xixi fed me.
Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Hua Rendong turned her head and saw Xia Yu standing in front of the open door with a freshly peeled onion in his hand.
"eat together?"
Honeysuckle wanted to nod, but held back, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
Xia Yu said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with that? You treat me next time."
This time, Honeysuckle nodded hurriedly. As long as she didn't eat for free, she would be at peace. If she wasn't good at cooking, she could get more ingredients.
Xia Yu found some wood from an abandoned house, cleaned it, and built a simple table under the eaves of the room where he and Hua Rendong lived.
Similarly, three simple tables were set up under the eaves on the opposite side, with the female educated youth sitting around one table and the male educated youth sitting around two tables.
When Hua Jindong came out, she saw that the educated youth there all had frowns on their faces, and they looked at the food in their bowls with bitter and resentful eyes. She could even smell a slight smell of burnt rice in the air.
On the other hand, on the table on my side, there was a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, a plate of sliced luncheon meat, a dish of braised eight treasures and two salted duck eggs.
Xia Yu brought out breakfast from the house, which turned out to be a bowl of bacon porridge and four beautifully pleated buns. He even brought out a teapot and two teacups from the house, and poured a cup for each person before eating.
This meal was considered quite good even before she traveled through time, not to mention in the countryside of this era.
Putting the porridge bowl on the simple table, Xia Yu first filled a bowl for Hua Rendong, and then filled a bowl for himself. "I put together this table temporarily, and there are no stools. Let's make do with it for now. When the tables and chairs I ordered in the village arrive, we can sit down and eat."
Hua Honeysuckle, who was sent to an orphanage by her relatives when she was young and suffered a lot before finally regaining her family property, firmly believes that there is no good in this world without reason.
This man's treatment of her was too obvious, so obvious that Hua Rendong began to doubt his purpose and character: Was he trying to use his connections to make his second uncle look at him differently? Or was he simply harboring ill intentions towards her?
Xia Yu seemed not to notice the change in Hua Rendong's attitude. He smiled and poured some tea into the cup in front of her. "Comrade Erhua, this is the honeysuckle I brought from Beijing. Sleeping on a heated kang can easily cause internal heat. Drinking more will be good for you."
As he spoke, he blinked innocently at Hua Honeysuckle. It was more like he was playing a guessing game than asking for credit.
Here it comes again, here it comes again, it's this familiar feeling again. Is he going to explain to me the nicknames of honeysuckle in the next second?
Honeysuckle tapped her fingers on the table again and again, not knowing what to say for a moment, and finally just clicked her tongue twice.
Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl... and curse in your heart.
It must be said that Xia Yu's cooking skills are really good. If he is the life assistant sent by the department to her, Hua Rendong admits that she is very moved. After all, who would not like such a handsome, cooking, and considerate assistant?
But this lavish gesture really made her feel a little at a loss. She was given a bunch of sweet treats first, but was there a dangerous place ahead for her to venture into?
After dinner, Hua Rendong got up and went to Zhou's house. Hua Jianshe and Zhou Laiying were going back to the county today, so she had to see them off and remind Zhou Laiying not to forget to report to the county's red education class.
When they came over, the couple had already packed everything. Grandma Zhou was helped down by Zhang Yun and Fang Yanhong. As they walked, she reminded the couple not to bring so many things next time they come.
Hua Jianshe and Zhou Laiying agreed verbally, but they knew clearly in their hearts that if only Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou lived at home, it would not matter how much they took care of the children, but they also had a daughter-in-law and grandchildren, and if they really did not take care of anything, the family affection would be gone over time.
