A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 19: Cleaning up the new home

Shen Jiaren looked at the yard, jumped and walked towards the house, ready to pack up and start preparing for lunch. Now she didn't have to worry about others peeking at her or someone coming out inadvertently.

Shen Jiaren walked into the house and placed the washbasin and daily necessities in the outer room of the main house.

The coal stove and casserole were also placed on the side of the main house.

The remaining kitchen supplies were put into the kitchen.

The remaining things were placed in the east room of the main house.

Shen Jiaren thought about the structure of the house. The main house was divided into three parts: the east room, the west room, and the outer room. Daily activities and storage of things were mainly carried out in this area.

The east room and the west room, the east room is temporarily used as a bathroom to store the bath tub, and the west room is used as a warehouse.

After all, there is a mountain behind the house, and we also need to consider the space for firewood, mountain products and other things.

Especially firewood. Although there is coal in the kitchen and a shed on the other side of the kitchen, the winter here is so long that we still have to make plans early. It is better to have more than to suffer from the cold.

After Shen Jiaren had packed up her things, she heard the villagers calling for the workers to leave.

I remembered that when we moved in the morning, I had told Song Xiangxue, the educated youth, that I would talk to the team leader of the educated youth site about the move.

Shen Jiaren took out half a pound of sugar from the manor, wrapped it with the paper she brought back with the cloth today, and then took out a dozen White Rabbit milk candies and put them into her pockets.

After leaving the house, Shen Jiaren turned over and locked the house. After walking out of the yard, she also locked the gate of the yard. Then Shen Jiaren walked towards the educated youth point.

Before I even walked into the youth cadre center, I heard some loud noises inside, as if someone was arguing.

Shen Jiaren walked in with gritted teeth and found out that they were quarreling over firewood for cooking.

Because a new batch of educated youth had arrived, and yesterday and today, the new educated youth did not go to work, and some of the old educated youth did not go to work either, so they all went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things.

As a result, there were more people at the educated youth camp, which resulted in more firewood being used to boil water. When the people who had finished work started to cook, they found that there was not enough firewood, so they started arguing, asking why the people who were resting were using it instead of collecting firewood. The people who were resting also said that it was not their turn to collect firewood, and they started arguing endlessly.

Listening to the argument between the husband and the mother-in-law, she felt her brain had become much bigger in an instant. At the same time, she was glad that she had moved out.

It’s only the first day and they’ve already had such a quarrel. How are we going to get along in the future?

After Shen Jiaren entered the yard of the educated youth center, she saw the team leader Zhao Yuanchao standing there being pulled by two sides. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to call for help.

When Chen Jiaojiao saw Shen Jiaren standing in the yard, she immediately said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this Shen the educated youth? Didn't she move away? Why are you here at the educated youth center? Do you want to come back again?"

When Shen Jiaren saw that Chen Jiaojiao's words interrupted the two groups of people arguing, she was delighted. She ignored Chen Jiaojiao and said directly, "Captain Zhao, I want to talk to you about something. Can we talk outside?"

When Zhao Yuanchao heard someone calling him, he quickly pushed away the hands on him and said, "Someone is looking for me, someone is looking for me. Let me see what Shen Zhiqing wants to see me about first."

After that, he said to Shen Jiaren, "Come on, Shen Zhiqing, let's go to the entrance of the Zhiqing point and talk."

Those who were quarreling looked at Shen Jiaren with unfriendly expressions. What kind of person is that? Who would ask someone who is arguing to speak? They couldn't help but look at Chen Jiaojiao with reproach, "You are meddling in other people's business?" What can she do if she doesn't say anything? It turns out that you don't need the firewood, or you don't need to collect firewood.

Shen Jiaren ignored the looks and facial expressions of those quarreling people.

After hearing what Zhao Yuanchao said, he nodded and prepared to follow Zhao Yuanchao out.

When Chen Jiaojiao saw Shen Jiaren ignoring her, she said, "Why are you ignoring me? How come you don't have the qualities of an educated youth?"

After listening to this, Shen Jiaren turned around and asked, "What do you want? Who are you in the Youth League? Do I need to report to you? Did I eat or drink your food? Why do you care so much?"

When Chen Jiaojiao heard Shen Jiaren's answer, she was speechless and couldn't say anything else.

The other educated youth who were quarreling felt inexplicably happy when they heard Shen Jiaren arguing with Chen Jiaojiao. It was just that it was none of your business. Why do you care so much? If you didn't say anything, who knows, they might have already figured out something by now.

After Shen Jiaren and Zhao Yuanchao stood at the entrance of the educated youth center, Shen Jiaren said to Zhao Yuanchao, "I'm really sorry, Captain. I moved out of the educated youth center very suddenly and moved to the village. Mainly because I was a little scared, so I rented a house in the village to live by myself. Take this half a pound of sugar, as a thank you for your care these days. If there is anything else that needs to be done by you, I'll need your patience."

As Shen Jiaren spoke, she passed the sugar to Zhao Yuanchao.

Zhao Yuanchao quickly waved his hand and refused, "No, no, we are all proletarian revolutionary fighters, and we have come to this place from all corners of the world. It is only natural for us to help each other. Besides, I am the captain, so I should help you even more."

That is, where do you live by yourself? Is it safe? Is it a single household? You don’t live with the villagers, right? After all, if you live together for a long time, there will be conflicts. If you are not used to it later, or you still want to go back to the educated youth site, as long as there is a place to stay, the educated youth site will always welcome you. "

"Captain, take this. This is white sugar. Drink some when you have nothing to do to replenish your nutrition. I really do have some left. Thank you so much for your help and your kindness." After saying this, Shen Jiaren threw the thing to Zhao Yuanchao and walked towards the educated youth point.

Because everyone had their backs to the educated youth point, they could only see Shen Jiaren's hands moving, and the others could not see the specific movements.

Zhao Yuanchao watched Shen Jiaren turn around and leave, and did not dare to make any unnecessary movements. He quickly put the things in his pocket and walked towards the educated youth point.

After Shen Jiaren entered the educated youth center, she walked towards Song Xiangxue's house and stood at the door calling Song Xiangxue.

Song Xiangxue heard people arguing in the yard in the house, and also heard Chen Jiaojiao looking for trouble with Shen Jiaren, but because there were too many people in the yard and the captain was there too, she decided to stay out with the mentality of "less trouble is worse than more trouble".

Now that he could hear Shen Jiaren calling him at the door, there was no way he could pretend he couldn't hear her. He could only say, "I'm here, please come in," and then he opened the door.

After Shen Jiaren walked into the house, she said, "Song Zhiqing, I have already told the captain about my move. Thank you this morning." After that, Shen Jiaren took out ten White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket, placed them on the kang, and turned away.

When Song Xiangxue saw Shen Jiaren put down her things and left, she quickly said, "Shen Zhiqing, come over and play later."

Shen Jiaren waved her hand and left the educated youth center.

After leaving the educated youth center, Shen Jiaren went straight back to her own yard.

It's really troublesome to think about it. There are more people and more trouble. It's noon now, I'd better have lunch first, and then talk about other things after lunch.

After returning to the house, there was no firewood in the yard, only coal, so Shen Jiaren cooked herself a seafood noodle stew on the coal stove.

After all, there are all kinds of seafood in the refrigerator of the manor. Now I live alone, and there is only a casserole. Isn’t this a good time to eat casserole seafood noodles?

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren took out the lard can from the kitchen of the manor and looked at the refrigerator. It was ready to use. She took out the frozen prawns from the refrigerator, ten in a bunch. Shen Jiaren took out a bunch directly and prepared to eat them at noon and in the afternoon.

He then took out a small frozen crab and three small frozen squids from another freezer drawer of the refrigerator and put them aside ready to take out together.

He then took out kelp and scallops from the closet in the manor's kitchen, and also took out a bag of his favorite thin round noodles.

After taking out all the things she needed from the kitchen of the manor, Shen Jiaren carried them out of the manor.

After leaving the manor and coming to the outer room of the main house, I found that although there was a well in the yard, there was no container to collect water. I had no choice but to go back to the manor and get a casserole and fill half of it with water.

This time, Shen Jiaren directly soaked two or three shrimps, crabs, small squids, scallops, and kelp in the casserole.

Prepare the frozen food and let it thaw and soak before starting cooking.

Shen Jiaren looked at the situation and thought that it would probably take a while. She was also very hungry because she had not eaten much breakfast, and she ate so early.

Shen Jiaren turned around and went back into the manor, took out a bucket of hot and sour instant noodles, found a sausage, a braised egg, and her favorite pickled mustard tuber.

After putting all the side dishes into the instant noodles, he filled the noodles with hot water from the kitchen of the manor and left the manor with the noodles.

Shen Jiaren sat on the kang, looking at the room that belonged to her, eating a mouthful of instant noodles, a bite of sausage, a bite of egg, and a bite of pickled mustard tuber. She felt that happiness in life really required a low threshold of satisfaction.

You see, in this situation, instant noodles are also a delicacy in life.
