Eating melons

Li Hong: "We have eight girls living here, and with the four of you, that's twelve. Wherever there's stuff, that's where people live. Just pick a clear spot and spread it out."

Looking at the legendary big kang, Wei Wei fell into deep thought. This kang was really big. It only occupied two-thirds of the space for eight people to live in, and it could still accommodate the four of them.

But the places where no one lives are all covered with dirt, so they need to be cleaned thoroughly.

I saw a straw mat wherever the beds were made, but I didn’t know where they were bought.

Wei Wei: "Sister Liu, did you weave this straw mat yourself or buy it?"

Seeing it was Wei Wei, Liu Hong gave a happy look, "I bought it. Almost every household has it. You can exchange it at any house."

Wei Wei: "Did you buy all these pots and flowers?"

Liu Hong: "I bought them all at Carpenter Zhang's house. If you need them, you can go there. His house is only three to five minutes' walk along the road you came from."

Three, five, minutes? How far is that? Wei Wei said she didn't know.

Wei Wei: "Let's go buy some straw mats first! Otherwise, we won't be able to clean up."

Liu Hong knew Wei Wei was probably a relative, so she was happy to offer some advice. "Then you'd better buy a broom to sweep the kang, or you won't be able to clean up."

Wei Wei: "Okay, thank you Sister Liu."

Several people had to go buy things first, otherwise they would not be able to pack up at all.

As soon as the few of them went out, the male educated youth from the opposite side also came out. It was obvious that they were all going to buy things.

Yu Xi: "Are you guys going shopping? Let's go together!"

As soon as Liu Jiaojiao saw Yu Xi, she started to crave him. "Brother Yu, can we not stay here? There are already eight people living here."

Wei Wei's eyes lit up when she saw Liu Jiaojiao's skilled movements. This was an acquaintance! There was something to eat. She had never paid attention to it before, and no one had noticed it.

Yu Xi stepped back when he saw Liu Jiaojiao coming towards him, and glanced in Jiang Qi's direction. "I can't help it. Now that we're here, we have to learn to adapt. There are nine men living in the boys' quarters."

Seeing Yu Xi's actions, Wei Wei's eyes lit up even more. It was still a love triangle! She loved him, he loved her, and I wonder who she loved again!

Not sure if it was her, Wei Wei glanced in Xiao Xuemu's direction. There was nothing she could do, after all, that person was a potential fellow villager! If she was younger, she would definitely like Xiao Xuemu's type.

Anyway, she quite likes this type. He doesn't seem to be easy to get along with. She doesn't know how he's getting along with because she has never gotten along with him. Although his words seemed a bit mean before, he seems to be quite polite when getting along with boys.

The most important thing is that when he stood beside her alone, he inexplicably had a sense of maturity that was not consistent with his age. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but he always distanced himself from Jiang Qi, but this distance made him feel like a husband.

If Wei Wei had a radar on her head, it would probably be spinning so fast that it's almost smoking.

Li Zhibin: "Let's go buy everything first and then talk!"

Yu Xi: "Okay."

As soon as Jiang Qi walked out of the door, he walked over to Wei Wei and said, "Comrade, what's your name? My name is Jiang Qi, Jiang as in Jiang Ziya, Qi as in Qi Lu. I'm from Shanghai. Let's be friends!"

Wei Wei hadn't expected a potential fellow villager to target her. "My name is Wei Wei, Wei for Wei Jin, Wei for Qiang Wei, and I'm from Hunan Province."

Jiang Qi: "Wei Wei, what a nice name! Can I call you Wei Wei?"

Wei Wei: "It's all right, whatever you want."

Jiang Qi: "Weiwei, is the captain your relative? You two seem so familiar!"

Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard this. They also wanted to know what the relationship between Wei Wei and the captain was. After all, the two seemed very familiar with each other.

Wei Wei: "Not familiar with him. We just met today. It's the first time we met today."

Jiang Qi didn't expect to get such an answer, but considering their familiarity, she didn't believe it. Not only did she not believe it, but none of them believed it either.

"I thought you two were relatives! After all, you seem to know each other well, and the captain even invited you to his house for dinner."

Wei Wei didn't intend to hide it. After all, everyone would know it sooner or later. "My brother-in-law and the captain's son are comrades-in-arms. Maybe my brother-in-law told the captain's son!"

Everyone understood as soon as they heard it. It was because he had connections. If he didn't tell them, how could he come to such a far place? It would take two or three days to take a train from Hunan Province to the Northeast.

Jiang Qi: "Weiwei, do you think we can move out? How can we sleep with more than ten people sleeping on one bed?"

Wei Wei understood now that this was an attempt to instigate her to stir up trouble! They wanted her, a relative, to be the first to take the blame! Wei Wei immediately looked a little embarrassed.

"This is a local custom, shaped by the land and water. Every household does this. I heard it's extremely cold here in the winter, so this is probably for the sake of making the winter more bearable! Now that we're here, we might as well find a way to adapt!"

If you have a better idea, go for it! Go for it, young man! I'm rooting for you. I'll be there for you if you succeed. If you have a good idea, just go for it.

After all, whether we can move out depends on you.

Jiang Qi didn't know what to say after hearing Wei Wei's words. "But when there are too many people, there will be conflicts. I don't know if those roommates can get along well!"

Wei Wei: "If you can get along well, then get along. If you can't, then just keep your distance."

They didn't chat for long before they arrived at Carpenter Zhang's house, so Jiang Qi had to drop the topic.

Yu Xi: "Hello, is Carpenter Zhang home?"

"I'm here! I'm here!" After saying that, an old lady came out of the room.

"You are the new educated youth, right? You are here to exchange things! Come in!"

Yu Xi: "Auntie, we'd like to exchange some straw mats, buckets, basins, and boxes. Do you have any?"

"Yes, yes, take a look here! I'll get you some straw mats. How many do you need?"

Yu Xi: "You all should take one."

"Yeah." "Yeah."

Yu Xi: "I want seven straw mats."

"Okay, pick whatever you want, I'll get you some straw mats."

Wei Wei: "Auntie, I also need a broom to sweep the kang. Do you have one?"

"Yes, of course."

Xiao Xuemu: "Then I want one too."

Yu Xi: “What is that?”

Wei Wei: "I don't know. Sister Liu said it should be the one sweeping the kang!"

Yu Xi: "Then I want one too, do you guys want one?"

“Yes.” “Yes.”

Yu Xi: "Then let's have seven of these too!"

"Row."

As soon as Aunt Zhang left, several people started choosing.

The variety of things here is quite complete, with various basins for washing face, washing vegetables, washing feet and taking a bath.

There are also various boxes and cabinets and the like.

Wei Wei has two ceramic basins. Although they are still on the way, she doesn't plan to use them to wash her feet or face. She plans to keep them and use them to wash vegetables and noodles in the future.

She didn't plan to eat with so many people. If she wanted to have extra food, she would have to do it secretly and would have to subsidize those people.

But she didn't want to take the lead. It was obvious that the people who came this time were not good people, and they would definitely not suffer any losses. She just had to follow behind.

And judging from the appearance of that potential fellow villager, she will definitely find a way to live alone. As long as I don't listen to her instigation, she will start to take action on her own.

Wei Wei prepared a washbasin, a foot bath tub, a bathtub, and a butt wash basin.

She heard that many people used the same basin to wash their faces and feet, which she couldn't accept. Some unrefined families even used the same basin to wash vegetables.

No, I can’t think about it anymore, otherwise I will vomit.

Wei Wei also chose a locked box, which was just right for temporarily storing her luggage.

After all, her money and tickets cannot be put into the system backpack, so she can only buy a lock to lock them up.

It was not easy to carry so many things, but fortunately Aunt Zhang said that she could help them send them back after the family members got off work.

A few people took the straw mat and the kang broom and left. As they left, Wei Wei bought an old-fashioned lock from the 1970s in the system.

Fortunately, there are still dozens of dollars in the system account, but I have to find a way to make money.

Wei Wei bought so many things for only eight dollars, and the big locked box cost only five dollars.

The prices are shockingly low. With this price, she feels that the few hundred dollars she has on her can get her through the next few years.

After all, you can buy food, clothing and other daily necessities in the system. You just need to pretend to do so outside and work hard to make money in the system.
