The house was built bit by bit in front of everyone's eyes. This was the first time for Lin Yinyin to experience this!

It's quite novel and even gives me a sense of accomplishment.

What she didn't expect the most was that Wang Meiling was the most active in helping among all the educated youth.

Lin Yinyin would also give her a bowl of rice from the meal prepared for the villagers who came to help.

This dinner was originally prepared for those who helped, and anyone who helped can eat it.

So no one else had any objection to giving it to Wang Meiling.

Over the past few days, except for Lin Jianhe who would occasionally argue with her, everyone else got along very well with Wang Meiling.

The relationship between the few people also heated up rapidly, and even the cold-hearted heroine began to take the friendship between them seriously.

The only thing that made Lin Yinyin feel a little uncomfortable was that Zhao Yufang seemed to be sick these days, staring at them from time to time.

The main focus is on Lin Jianhe and Shen Yechu...

That gloomy look makes people feel creepy.

This made her even more anxious to move, and the house was finally built under Lin Yinyin's expectation.

Because it was a new kang, it had to be heated for a few more days before we could move in. These few days were particularly difficult.

The construction of new houses in the Youth League Home is a big deal and a big event in the entire Qinghe Village.

It has been so many years since the educated youth built a house by themselves, so this time it is really an eye-opener.

Lin Yinyin has heard a lot of sour words these days. She hears them while going to work and on the way back to the educated youth site after work.

What's the point of building a house for a girl? She will get married sooner or later. Don't the boys' family have a house for her to live in?

Some also said that they wanted to find a husband and didn't want to marry the peasants in the village.

In short, there are all kinds of things to say, but no one takes them to heart. Just say them, it won’t hurt you.

Let them say whatever they want, as the sour words go in one ear and out the other.

Lin Yinyin and her group moved into their new home amidst everyone's sour remarks. If they had not wanted to delay the villagers from earning work points, the house would have been built long ago.

It won’t take more than a week to move in like it does now.

After the house was built, the four of them discussed it and decided to forget about the housewarming party and simply treat the people from the Youth League Institute and the village head and his wife to a meal.

As a thank you for their help during this period, Chef Lin Yinyin is still in charge of the cooking.

She found that since this group of people discovered her talent for cooking, cooking seemed to have become her job.

Fortunately, she doesn’t have to do the preparation work. She has two kitchen helpers to chop the vegetables. Otherwise, cooking every day would be very tiring.

Lin Jianhe asked someone in the village to buy a hen that didn't lay many eggs, and the task of slaughtering the chicken was given to Jiang Jizhi.

Lin Yinyin is going to make a Northeastern one-pot dish, which is convenient and has a large quantity!

There is only one chicken, so it is definitely not enough to eat. That’s okay, if there is not enough meat, just add more side dishes!

Potatoes, dried beans, vermicelli, mushrooms, squash... whatever you have available.

Stir-fry two more vegetarian dishes and the meal is complete. The staple food is the Erhe noodles pancakes stuck to the edge of the pot.

Although this meal is simple, it is considered very sumptuous at that time.

No one spoke during the meal. Everyone just focused on eating, fearing that if they said one more word they would lose a piece of meat.

So the meal was so harmonious, the most harmonious thing we had ever experienced.

When Lin Yinyin lay down on the kang in the new house, she rolled around on the kang excitedly.

She can roll around freely on this two- to three-meter-long kang at night.

When building the house, Lin Yinyin didn't want such a big kang and said she wanted a smaller one.

Wouldn't this prevent the village chief and others from forcing people in?

But the people who make kangs said that there is no such thing as a kang. Every household in the village makes a kang as big as the width of the space between the two walls so that the house can be warm.

Although Lin Yinyin felt that this statement was a little wrong, she didn't say anything. After all, she didn't know much about making a kang.

She even went to the neighboring houses to see their kangs, and they were exactly like that.

So I just let them go...

A big kang does have its advantages. At least you don’t have to worry about falling off the bed when you sleep. People like Cai Yanhong who sleep restlessly don’t have to worry anymore.

After rolling around a few times, Lin Yinyin looked at the brand new furniture in her little house.

A kang cabinet, a wooden box, a kang table, a set of tables and chairs, and a clothes hanger, the small room was already filled with these things.

Even the washbasin rack was placed in the kitchen by Lin Yinyin. Lin Jian was on the left side of her room and the kitchen was on the right side.

The kang in her room is heated by the big stove in the kitchen, so the room can be cleaner without having to heat the kang separately.

The kang in Lin Jianhe's room must be heated separately.

When the house was first built, Lin Yinyin curiously asked whether the kang would also heat up when cooking in the summer.

She was also ridiculed by the villagers.

There is a stone baffle between the cooking stove and the earthen kang.

In the summer, when there is no need to heat the kang, lower the baffle so that the heat will not enter the kang.

This is all the wisdom left by our ancestors. Children of their generation only slept on earthen kangs when they were young.

But when they were young, the adults in their family would not let them heat the kang or do these things.

When we grow up, we live in houses with floor heating, and fewer and fewer people know about these things left by our ancestors.

According to Lin Yinyin's request, two stoves were left in the kitchen, one large and one small.

Before, I almost always cooked in one pot for convenience. Now that I have a new kitchen, I have to cook more dishes, right?

The layout of the kitchen was also carefully designed by Lin Yinyin, with bowls and plates placed on top of the dish cabinet and food placed underneath.

We also made a long table specifically for cutting vegetables and eating, a multifunctional table.

The stools were just ordinary benches, one for each of him and her brother, and they didn't prepare any extra ones.

There is no door in Lin Yinyin's house that leads directly to the yard, but there is a door that leads directly to the kitchen.

If you want to get into her room you have to go through the kitchen first.

This made the villager who built the house speechless. He had never seen such a house in all his years.

There was no way around it. Lin Yinyin herself strongly requested to build it this way, so they couldn't say anything. It wasn't their place to live anyway.

In Lin Yinyin's mind, that is not a simple kitchen, it is a dining and kitchen all in one!

She couldn't accept someone coming to her house and just going straight into her bedroom...without any privacy at all.

This has an advantage, she has two windows in her bedroom, one in the front and one in the back.

The village chief also advised them that big windows would let in wind in winter...but none of them listened. The windows of the house they lived in before in the Youth League Home were too small.

The ventilation is not very good, and when there are many people living in the house, you can smell the odor of human flesh as soon as you enter.
