A Time Travel Effort in the 70s
Chapter 91 Liu Hui set up traps, built firewood sheds, and chopped firewood
Shen Jiaren waited for a long time but didn't hear any reply from Chen Jiaojiao. She turned around and saw Chen Jiaojiao crying silently.
Upon seeing this, Shen Jiaren sighed and said nothing more, then continued walking towards the educated youth point.
When they arrived at the educated youth point, Chen Jiaojiao opened the door. Shen Jiaren put the food she was carrying on the floor of the room and then accompanied Chen Jiaojiao to the house where she used to live to help her move.
After moving several times, they finally moved all the cooking utensils and packages that Chen Jiaojiao had bought.
After moving in, Shen Jiaren tidied the kang for Chen Jiaojiao, then went to the kitchen and sorted out a pile of wheat ears and spread them on the kang for Chen Jiaojiao.
The two of them finished cleaning up in a short while.
Shen Jiaren glanced at Chen Jiaojiao and said, "I'm going to go back first. After you clean up, you can cook something for yourself."
After saying this, Shen Jiaren turned around and left.
When Shen Jiaren reached the corner between the educated youth center and her own courtyard, she heard a quarrel starting again inside the educated youth center.
Xu Hongxia and Chen Jiaojiao were used to having their own kitchen, where they had everything they could cook when they got home. They were very upset that they had to use the same big pot as the other people in the educated youth camp and had to queue up.
Especially when she returned to her room after finishing her work in the kitchen and found the room empty, she was even more furious. Although she had just agreed with Chen Jiao that they would eat separately and take turns doing the work, she didn't expect Chen Jiaojiao to be so angry and move all the things away directly. It's understandable that you move away personal items like the washbasin, but it's too inhumane to move away the shared hand soap and cooking utensils without leaving anything behind. The more Xu Hongxia thought about it, the angrier she became. She ran over and said to Chen Jiaojiao, "Who gave you the right to live in this house?
You moved all your things away. Did you ask for my opinion?
Besides, you moved away secretly without my knowledge, did you also take my things away secretly?"
When Chen Jiaojiao heard Xu Hongxia coming to her door to argue, she immediately retorted angrily, "Who gave you the power?
Given by the captain.
What qualifications do you have to point fingers?
Also, when I moved my things, they were my own things. I also secretly took away your things. How could I be interested in your things?
Your clothes are either patched up with patches or have a few small packages. Who would like your tattered clothes?
The things I took are all mine. They were not brought from home but bought after I came here. What does it have to do with you?
You are so shameless. How dare you come to me?
Didn't you say you wanted to separate? Isn't this what you wanted?
Completely separated."
Xu Hongxia immediately responded, "I said we broke up, what's wrong with that? I said we broke up, what's wrong with that?
If it weren't for you, would I lose something?
If it weren't for you, would our house have been broken into?
Now you are right. But when you ran out of food just now and asked me to cook for you, why didn't you be as justified as you are now?
Now that you've bought the food rations, are you so confident?
What's the matter? Has the ration given you the confidence?
I want to see what you will get for being so heartless and merciless. "
Shen Jiaojiao replied, "I am heartless? I show no mercy?
Am I as ruthless as you, am I as merciless as you?
I just wanted you to help with cooking and cleaning, and I also gave you a subsidy so that you could cook for yourself, but what was the result?
Now I asked you to help cook a meal, but you refused to help. Am I being heartless?"
He wanted to say a few more words, but Song Xiangxue who came over pulled his arm and stopped him from speaking.
After all, how can we say this? The packages and letters from Chen Jiaojiao's parents haven't arrived yet. It would be bad to offend them now. Besides, the whole team will be evaluated in a few days, and it would be really bad to make things too awkward.
The other people at the educated youth site were standing at their respective doors, but none of them came closer. After all, it would be bad to offend anyone at this moment, so none of them came forward.
After hearing no more sound from the educated youth point, Shen Jiaren returned to her own yard.
After returning to the yard, Shen Jiaren took out two buns that she had bought from a state-owned store in the manor, heated them up, poured egg water into them, and after eating, she sat in the yard to look at the starry sky.
In fact, after Shen Jiaren saw the twinkling stars in the sky, she felt that her depressed mood of the day was a little better.
After sitting in the yard and looking at the sky, Shen Jiaren felt that nothing was better than being able to make money and having money in hand.
I went to the west warehouse, got a pair of gloves, sat under the awning, and started cracking pine nuts.
After all, what we are knocking on now are pine nuts, and who knows, in a few days, this may become money.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren was full of energy and worked hard to "pa, pa, pa."
After Shen Jiaren knocked for a while, she heard someone knocking on the door. Shen Jiaren opened it and saw Liu Hui coming in with a basket full of things on his back and a basket in his arms.
Shen Jiaren took the basket and saw a pure black puppy inside. Before Shen Jiaren could say anything, she saw Liu Hui signaling Shen Jiaren to close the door first.
After Shen Jiaren closed the door, she saw Liu Hui put the basket on the ground and started taking out things, including a pile of glass bottles and a knife for chopping wood. He took out a bunch of things one after another.
Liu Hui said to Shen Jiaren, "I have only found one dog, but the dog's parents are both hounds, they are very fierce and easily startled. You should take the dog over there to get familiar with it and give it a name.
I'll build a wall around you for protection and dig a few traps. Stay away from me so I don't get hurt. When I call you later, come over and help me."
Shen Jiaren nodded and replied, "I see. Those things are all in the Westinghouse warehouse or the kitchen. You can find what you want yourself."
After saying that, Shen Jiaren took the dog out of the basket, sat under the awning and began to develop a relationship with the dog. Shen Jiaren watched Liu Hui start to work.
When Shen Jiaren reacted and wanted to pour a cup of hot water for Liu Hui, she found there was no hot water in the thermos. She started to light the coal stove to boil water. When the water boiled and she poured the hot water for Liu Hui and placed it on the screen wall, she found that Liu Hui had already set the trap.
Shen Jiaren walked to the wall and saw that there were broken glass bottles placed at the corner. The glass bottles were stuck in the ground, but the sharp ends of the broken pieces were facing the sky. The cold light shining from the inclined surface of the glass made Shen Jiaren see the intermittent color of the sky inside.
I saw that there was a trap behind the broken glass bottles. Because it was too deep, Shen Jiaren didn't go near it.
Liu Hui was seen putting straw on top and then covering it with soil. Shen Jiaren couldn't see clearly what was in the pit.
When Shen Jiaren saw this, she was afraid that she would accidentally fall down when she walked over there, so she asked Liu Hui if he could think of a way to distinguish them, because the color of the trap after being covered with soil was exactly the same as the color of the ground before the moonlight, in Shen Jiaren's opinion.
Before Shen Jiaren could speak, she saw Liu Hui starting to build a fence with the firewood that Shen Jiaren had picked up from the mountain.
Not long after Liu Hui placed a few thick pieces of firewood in the ground, he quickly wove a wooden fence and placed it at the edge of the trap and the yard.
Liu Hui touched his sweaty head and said to Shen Jiaren, "When the time comes, you will use this wooden fence as a boundary by the wall and just don't cross it.
There is also some distance between the trap and the wooden fence, so don’t be afraid.”
Shen Jiaren nodded and said, "Brother Liu, I have prepared some tea for you, please have a sip and take a rest.
I also added sugar to it, and it tastes really good.”
Liu Hui took the axe for chopping wood and said to Shen Jiaren, "Okay, I'll take a break and drink the tea you made. See how delicious and sweet it is."
Shen Jiaren quickly replied, "Brother Liu Hui, when we drink green tea in my family, we usually add some sugar to it to reduce internal heat. Drinking it this way is really good for the body."
Seeing Shen Jiaren's anxious explanation, Liu Hui smiled, picked up the water cup and started drinking, "You know what, it's really good.
Thank you, Xiao Shen."
Seeing that Liu Hui really liked the drink, Shen Jiaren quickly placed the thermos next to Liu Hui so that she could add water to him later.
While drinking water, Liu Hui looked around Shen Jiaren's yard to see if there was anything missing. Suddenly he realized that the firewood shed that they had talked about for a long time had not been built yet.
Then he said to Shen Jiaren, "Xiao Shen, take a broom and sweep the land next to your kitchen. It's still early today, so I'll build a firewood shed for you."
After Shen Jiaren nodded, she saw Liu Hui holding an axe and preparing to go out.
Shen Jiaren asked quickly, "It's already evening, is it okay for you to go up the mountain at this time?
How about not going there yet and talking about it tomorrow?"
“No, there are fewer people at night, so it’s more convenient.
Xiao Shen, have you forgotten? I am a hunter. It is common for me to stay on the mountain at night. You don't have to worry.
And I won't go deep into the mountain, I'll just stay near the foot of the mountain, don't worry." Liu Hui said and walked out the door, and said to Shen Jiaren, "Come and close the door. When someone knocks on the door, remember to ask who the other person is."
Shen Jiaren nodded, put down the broom and closed the door.
After Shen Jiaren finished sweeping the floor, she continued to sit under the awning and crack pine nuts. After all, Shen Jiaren wanted to crack some pine nuts as soon as possible and let Liu Hui take them to the town to give to Liu Hongmei so that she could sell them for money.
While cracking pine nuts and teasing the puppy, Shen Jiaren suddenly remembered that she had not given the puppy a name yet. Hehe, let's call it Duoduo, Duoduo of anything.
This way the name won't be too abrupt.
After a while, Shen Jiaren heard someone knocking on the door. Before she could ask who it was, she heard Liu Hui say at the door, "Xiao Shen, it's me, open the door."
After listening to this, Shen Jiaren took a few quick steps and quickly opened the door for Liu Hui.
Liu Hui walked in carrying a pile of firewood and placed it on the ground swept by Shen Jiaren.
Liu Hui started to set up the scaffolding, and Shen Jiaren started to help when she saw him.
It didn't take long for the two of them to build the shed. Liu Hui looked at the firewood drying on the shed and said to Shen Jiaren, "Now we have a firewood shed. After the firewood is dried and chopped, place it neatly in the firewood shed. This way, you can use the firewood directly during the winter break."
Seeing this, Shen Jiaren nodded.
Seeing Shen Jiaren's dazed look, Liu Hui smiled and shook his head, then started to help Shen Jiaren chop wood.
Shen Jiaren felt embarrassed watching Liu Hui chopping wood, so she also sat on the awning and continued to crack pine nuts.
In an instant, there were scattered "pa pa pa" and "bang bang bang bang" sounds from the yard.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, each of them was busy with their own things.
After Liu Hui chopped all the firewood, he stacked it neatly in the newly built firewood shed.
Seeing this, Shen Jiaren packed all the pine cones into a bag and put it aside. After putting all the pine nuts into a pile, she took out the bag of pine nuts from the west room, put all the pine nuts that were not picked today into this bag, tied it up, and prepared to let Liu Hui take it away and ask him to bring it to Su Hongmei at the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow.
After Liu Hui stacked the firewood, he prepared to go home. After all, it was a bit late and it would not be appropriate to stay here too late.
Seeing Liu Hui packing up to go home, Shen Jiaren quickly called Liu Hui, "Brother Liu, take this bag of pine nuts with you and give it to Su Hongmei at the town supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow.
Sister Hongmei is the elder sister who accompanied me to get something from the supply and marketing cooperative last time. You gave her the bag and told her that it was given to her by me, and she understood. "
Liu Hui nodded, put the bag in the backpack he brought with him, and prepared to carry it back.
Liu Hui was halfway there when he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and said to Shen Jiaren, "Oh, Xiao Shen, my mom asked you to come over for dinner tomorrow. She said you didn't come last time when you asked Goudan and Erya to help with your homework, so she wanted to ask you why you didn't come."
Shen Jiaren replied, "I was originally planning to go there today, but unexpectedly Chen Jiaojiao was kidnapped, and then the captain arranged for me to accompany her all day today, worried that something might happen to her, so I didn't have time to tutor Goudan and Erya."
"Yeah, Goudan found the bottle for you, but you didn't go to get it, so Goudan thought you forgot about it.
In addition, the village held a meeting today and said that there would be an open examination to select teachers for the winter literacy classes. What do you mean?
Do you want to go?
Because from what I know, one of the teachers in the village school will be transferred to the town after the New Year, and the teacher selected in this public examination is very likely to be the primary school teacher in the future.
Do you have any ideas? "
After hearing this, Shen Jiaren pointed at herself and said, "Me? Are you sure it's me?"
Liu Hui replied, "Yes, it's you.
The primary school was originally going to recruit two people, one to be a normal subject teacher who was required to be proficient in all subjects, and the other to be a part-time music and art teacher who would teach the children to sing revolutionary songs and actively participate in a series of patriotic activities held in the town in the later stages.
The town is still studying how to recruit the music teacher, but the subject teacher has been determined and will be selected through this public examination.
If you have any ideas, I can ask about the range of questions for you, or use my connections.
If you don’t have any ideas, then just go with the flow and do your best.”
