After coming out of the old lady's yard, Shen Xiaoxia put her things into the wardrobe in the space, and without going anywhere else, she returned to the Youth League Home.

Entering the backyard, Han Zhuxin was still sitting at the door knitting a sweater. Zhao Lingling didn't know where she had gone and didn't see anyone.

He Tingyuan, Xie Yunheng and Zhao Fan were chopping firewood, which was to be used for heating the kang during the winter.

No one knows where Hu Shixuan has gone, and he is not seen during the day.

Seeing Shen Xiaoxia coming back, everyone greeted her with a smile and continued to do their own things.

Han Zhuxin called out to Shen Xiaoxia, "Xia Xia, do we need to prepare some more firewood?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded, "Yes, we need to prepare some more. I heard that winter is very cold and firewood is consumed quickly."

She actually has quite a bit in her space, but she still needs to prepare some more for people in public.

Han Zhuxin thought for a moment and asked, "Then shall we go to the mountain tomorrow?"

Shen Xiaoxia thought that she had no plans for tomorrow, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

Taking advantage of a trip to the county town today, Shen Xiaoxia added some more food to the storage cabinet. She took out five pounds of rice, ten pounds of flour, half a pound of brown sugar, a can of malted milk, and three pounds of pork belly, planning to eat some in the evening and marinate the rest to make bacon.

There was still some time before dinner, so Shen Xiaoxia followed Han Zhuxin's lead and placed a stool by the door, where she sat down to knit a sweater. Looking at the pile of things in her hands, which still barely resembled a sweater, Shen Xiaoxia sighed, wondering if she could wear the sweater she had knitted herself before winter arrived.

It's a big challenge for her.

Han Zhuxin couldn't help laughing when she saw her bitter and resentful look.

For dinner in the evening, she planned to make some meat sauce, which could be put in steamed buns, mixed with rice, noodles, or wraps, or even added to stir-fried dishes to enhance the flavor.

Now that the weather is cooler, it can still be stored.

Shen Xiaoxia did it as soon as she thought of it. She went to the kitchen in the space, washed the pork, cut it into cubes and set aside, and prepared some dried red peppers and crushed them.

I found some fried peanuts and crushed them.

I washed some more mushrooms, squeezed out the water and cut them into cubes.

Prepare all other necessary materials first.

Pour oil into a hot pan. When the oil is hot, add the prepared chopped green onion, ginger, garlic, and dried red chili peppers into the pan and stir-fry.

When the aroma comes out, pour the minced meat into the pan and stir-fry, then add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and diced mushrooms in turn, and also add a few spoons of soybean paste.

After Shen Xiaoxia finished cooking, she tasted it and found it tasted really good.

She fried another dish, cooked some rice, and ate it with meat sauce in the evening. Shen Xiaoxia was very satisfied.

After washing up, Shen Xiaoxia lazily nestled on the sofa in the space.

【Sign in! 】

[Successful sign-in! Congratulations to the host for receiving 150 yuan in cash! ]

Wow! 15 great photos of unity!

The charm of the RMB is indeed endless.

Shen Xiaoxia looked at the box of money with a smile. The previous round number of two thousand had not been moved. After signing in during this period and adding today's number, Shen Xiaoxia counted out five hundred and put it together with the note paper. The total cash amount was two thousand five hundred!

The change was still placed in the drawer of the bedside table.

Today was another fruitful day, and Shen Xiaoxia fell asleep contentedly!

On this day, the Youth League Institute welcomed a major event.

Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin were sitting at the door eating breakfast when Zhao Lingling came bounding back from outside and rushed over to them. "Hey, did you know? Something big happened! Wu Ming and Zhao Qi said they're getting married!"

"what?"

"real or fake?"

Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin didn't even bother to drink their porridge. They stood up one after another and said in surprise.

Zhao Lingling nodded repeatedly, "Really? I just heard about it too."

Shen Xiaoxia asked her, "Who told you that?"

"I heard it from Zhao Qi herself. I just went to the front yard, and she told everyone that she and Wu Ming were planning to get married. She also said that after they got married, they would move out of the Youth League compound."

Han Zhu was puzzled. "Move out of the Youth Hostel? Then where will they live in the future?"

Zhao Lingling didn't know about this. She didn't think of asking. "Then I don't know. I forgot to ask."

Shen Xiaoxia actually had a good impression of Wu Ming and Zhao Qi. Wu Ming was the head of the Youth League Institute. He had always been honest and dedicated, and he was also willing to work hard in the fields.

Zhao Qi is a girl from Sichuan Province. Shen Xiaoxia's deepest impression of her is that this girl particularly likes spicy food and can't live without it. She is also carefree and straightforward.

Shen Xiaoxia felt that it was pretty good for these two to be together.

Shen Xiaoxia has always remembered the kindness of Wu Ming in helping to stop the last incident when Old Lady Zhou caused trouble at the Youth League Home. She wonders if she can help in this marriage.

In the afternoon, Zhao Lingling took Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin to the front yard and said she would go and see if there was anyone who could help.

Zhao Qi was packing up her things. Seeing a few people coming over, she was a little surprised. "Why are you here?"

Zhao Lingling: "Sister Qi, I heard you're getting married to Wu Ming? We just came to see if there's anything we can do to help."

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. We don't plan to do anything. We just want to get the marriage certificate."

Both of them were educated youth, their family conditions were very ordinary, and they couldn't help much.

After living in the countryside for several years, the two did not have much savings. After discussing it, they decided not to hold a wedding, so they just chose a date and went to get a marriage certificate.

Everyone knew a little about the two people's conditions, but no one said much.

Shen Xiaoxia asked her, "Sister Qi, I heard that you are going to move out of the Youth House after you get married? Where will you live in the future?"

Zhao Qi looked at Shen Xiaoxia and the others, then said, "There's an old house in the village. The team leader said that the family moved away a long time ago, and the house has been empty ever since.

Wu Ming went to see the team leader, and we rented the house and will live there from now on."

Originally, the two of them planned to rent a house in the backyard if they were to get married, but the rent of 10 dollars a year was a bit stressful for them.

Later, when he learned of the existence of such a house, Wu Ming went to inquire about it, and later rented it from the village for four yuan a year.

It's just that no one has lived here for a long time, so it needs to be cleaned up.

The two of them went to see it and thought it was quite nice. At least it had its own door and yard, and it was quiet and free.

Zhao Lingling asked curiously, "Sister Qi, where is it? Is it far from the Youth Hostel?"

Zhao Qi said, "It's behind the village, not far from the Youth League Home, only about ten minutes away. No one usually goes there, so they don't know it."

Zhao Qi was planning to go over and clean up, and a few people said they wanted to go with him to take a look.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Wu Mingzheng was taking a male comrade from the Youth League Institute, Zhou Jianghe, to inspect the tiles on the roof.

A few people visited the house. The walls of the house, made of loess bricks, were no longer smooth, probably because they had been eroded by wind and rain for many years. The bricks in some places were slightly raised, and tiny cracks appeared in some places.

There are peelings in many places, and it looks bumpy.

The door is made of thick wood, and perhaps because of its age, the color of the door has become dark.

It has not been used for a long time, and you can hear a squeaking sound from the door hinges when opening or closing the door.

There is a door on the left side of the entrance, leading to the bedroom. There is only an earthen kang in the bedroom, and nothing else.

The windows are also simple square wooden windows.

The ground is compacted with mud and looks black.

The whole bedroom seemed empty and cramped.

There is a kitchen on the right side of the main room. The kitchen is not big and there is no stove like the ones that are now found in rural areas. If you want to cook, you probably have to build a new stove.

There is also an ear room outside the house connected to the bedroom, which can be used to store sundries and firewood.

Shen Xiaoxia followed everyone and took a look around. Although the house was a bit shabby, it could be a good place to live after some renovation. It was quite suitable for the couple to live in. It was much more spacious and freer than renting a small room in the Youth League Home.
