The female supporting role in the movie is compassionate and kind

"I've already eaten, you can eat."

After saying this, Chen Yuchen went back to the house without looking back. The remaining three people who were prepared to follow him looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Guohao was already starving. "I'll return it to you when I get the food."

After saying that, he lowered his head and hurried to the dining table.

Xu Yuanyuan said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Cui, we will eat with you."

After having breakfast in a strange atmosphere, the old educated youth went out to work, and the remaining four people gathered together to discuss what to do in the future.

Chen Yuchen was the first to speak: "The educated youth site is too crowded, and it's inconvenient with so many people. I want to build my own house and move out."

"Brother Chen, I'm with you."

Chen Yuchen looked at Xu Yuanyuan and her sister with an inquiring look. Neither he nor Shen Guohao could cook, so they would need someone to cook if they moved out.

At this time, Xu Yuanyuan said, "The people at the educated youth site don't seem to like us very much. Comrade Chen, I also want to move out. I can cook."

Xu Manman held Xu Yuanyuan's hand intimately: "Wherever sister goes, I will go. I can also work."

"Okay, I'll go to the captain's house tonight to find out how much it will cost to build a house, and then the four of us will split the cost.

Shen Guohao and I can fetch water and chop firewood, and the cooking and daily cleaning will be left to the two female comrades."

At this time, a young man's voice came from outside, asking them to follow and collect rations.

"My last name is Wan Dashan. What are your names?"

While introducing themselves, the four of them also inquired about the situation in the village. After arriving at the warehouse, they saw Brother Wan San who had picked them up yesterday.

Brother Wan San was sitting with his legs crossed and looking nonchalant, as if he didn't care about them at all. The four of them looked a little embarrassed.

"Third brother, I'm bringing four educated youth to get something."

"Well, let's go."

When the four of them saw the corn kernels, potatoes and sweet potatoes in their hands, they were completely dumbfounded.

Xu Manman blinked her big eyes and said innocently, "Big brother, don't you have any fine grains?"

"Rice flour?"

Xu Manman nodded.

"Oh, didn't you ask when you came here? We don't have paddy fields in Huaihua Brigade, so we can't grow rice.

The county leaders also said that this area is not suitable for growing wheat, so we'll just have to make do with what we have."

Xu Manman felt like the sky was falling and could only pray that the money her sister brought was enough for the two sisters to spend.

Shen Guohao recalled the corn rice he had eaten this morning, which was made from corn ground into powder using a stone mill.

It wasn't bad, but he still preferred soft and sticky rice. "Do we have rice or flour for sale in town?"

"Yes, I have."

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It was good enough that they could buy rice and flour. When the time came, they could take the grain they had distributed to the public and exchange it for fine grains from others in the town.

After leaving the warehouse, the young man kindly asked, "Would you like me to take you to the threshing ground to grind corn flour?"

Chen Yuchen said, "Yes, thank you, Comrade Wan."

"Hey, you're so polite."

Not sure if he could buy rice all at once in town, so Chen Yuchen prepared to take out 30 kilograms of corn to grind.

"Guohao, accompany Comrade Xu and the other sisters to take the remaining grain back. I'm going to the threshing ground first. When you get back, find a clean bag and fill it with cornmeal."

"Ok."

Chen Yuchen handed Wan Dashan a cigarette, but Wan Dashan quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't smoke this."

"Try it."

Wan Dashan scratched his head and said, "Comrade Chen, if you have any questions, please tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

Seeing that he refused, Chen Yuchen had no choice but to stuff the cigarette back.

“Is there any vacant house in our village?”

"No, Comrade Chen, do you want to move out?"

"I have this idea. I prefer quietness. Is it okay if I build one myself?"

“You have to ask the team leader. As long as he approves the housing plot, you can build it.

But you can't stay in the country forever, you definitely can't take this house with you when you leave."

"That's not important. How much would it cost to build five houses in the village?"

"About a hundred yuan. We have roof beams and adobe bricks in our village. If you want to cover it with tiles, it will be a different price."

"A thatched hut will do. It doesn't have to be particularly big."

“Then it should be solvable within 100 yuan. You don’t have to worry. We have several experienced carpenters in our village.

Their craftsmanship is so good that even if it's a thatched house, it won't leak. It just looks better without tiles."

"Well, thank you, Comrade Dashan. I'll discuss this with the captain tonight."

"By the way, do you have a steamer? It's used for steaming rice. You can't do without it. You can also use it to steam rice when you buy rice."

"No, who in the village can make it? I'll go get it later."

"My uncle has one. I'll show it to you when you pass by his house later."

"Okay, thank you."

"Haha, thanking you so much is so awkward."

When they arrived at the place, Wan Dashan taught Chen Yuchen how to use the stone mill and then left.

Chen Yuchen's physical fitness has always been considered good among his peers, but after standing for more than ten minutes, his hands and lower back started to ache.

The corn flour that was ground did not seem to meet the standards. If it was made into rice, people might choke to death if they coughed accidentally while eating.

After Shen Guohao came, he took his place. The two worked in tacit understanding and barely met the standard after two attempts.

On the way back, I stopped by the carpenter's house to buy a steamer basket and a bucket. The kitchen at the educated youth site was very small and couldn't accommodate another jar.

The four of them gathered together and listed the things they wanted to buy: a water scoop, a kettle, a kettle for boiling water, an iron pot, a chopping board, a kitchen knife, salt, oil...

"It's obviously unrealistic for the four of us to carry so many things back, and I also have a package mailed here.

So we can only go to the county on Saturday. I thought about it and said, Comrade Xu, why don’t you sisters live in the same room.

You just need to contribute 1/3 of the cost of building the house. Is this arrangement okay with me?"

The two sisters said in unison: "No problem."

“Since we want to draw a clear line between ourselves and the old educated youth, we can no longer use their firewood.

Shen Guohao and I will go collect firewood this afternoon. They have to go to work today so we can use the kitchen first."

As he said this, he handed Xu Yuanyuan five yuan and said, "Comrade Xu, you sisters should go to the village and visit the homes of fellow villagers who are home.

See if you can change some vegetables and eggs. It would be best if there is bacon. People here love to cook it. "

Xu Yuanyuan took the money and spoke sadly.

"Comrade Chen, I don't know how to make corn rice."

"Then let's let the old educated youth cook first today. You can learn from them and ask the cooks directly if you don't know how to do it."

"Ok."

Chen and Shen went up the mountain, but when they got there they realized they couldn't carry much firewood back with their own hands.

They were extremely lucky and happened to meet an old man walking down the mountain carrying a large load of firewood. Chen Yuchen hurried over to chat with him.

In the end, they bought the firewood weighing about 100 kilograms for two dollars, and their trip was not in vain. One of them dragged a large branch down.
