After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

After dinner, Shen Xiaoxia chose a seat on the side, tidied up the bunk bed briefly, and then went back to the room to bring the quilt over. Before the kang was made, she had to sleep on the bunk bed for the time being.

After Shen Xiaoxia finished tidying up, Han Zhuxin also came over with a quilt, took a look, and chose a place next to Shen Xiaoxia to tidy up.

The original four old educated youth were seated next to each other, and they all chose positions in the middle.

Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin chose one side, while Su Xiuxiu and Ye Yike chose the other side and slept next to each other.

The old educated youth had to go to work tomorrow, and the newcomers were tired after traveling for several days. After washing up, everyone went to bed on the kang.

The next morning, around six o'clock, the educated youth began to get up one after another.

Shen Xiaoxia and the others had just arrived and had not yet arranged any work, but seeing everyone getting up one after another, Shen Xiaoxia also got up.

She had to take advantage of the time now to go around the village and look for a family that could build a kang.

You also have to buy daily necessities such as wardrobes, tables, chairs, and wooden barrels.

Han Zhuxin saw Shen Xiaoxia get up, so she got up too.

She asked Shen Xiaoxia what plans she had for today. Shen Xiaoxia said she was going to go around the village and find someone to make the kang. Han Zhuxin was ready to go with her, and Shen Xiaoxia agreed.

After a simple wash and some snacks, Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin set out together to visit the captain's home.

Shen Xiaoxia felt that it would be too time-consuming to find those people herself, and she didn't know who knew what.

It would probably save more time to go directly to the captain's house and ask him.

Han Zhuxin took about three taels of brown sugar, and Shen Xiaoxia took about three taels of White Rabbit milk candy. They found the captain's house while asking for directions.

"Captain uncle, captain uncle, is captain uncle home?"

Seeing that the gate was open, Shen Xiaoxia and the others did not go in directly, but stood at the gate and shouted.

"Who is it?" A woman came to the door while wiping her hands.

"Hello, auntie. We are new educated youth. My name is Shen Xiaoxia, and the one next to me is Han Zhuxin. We have something we would like to ask the team leader for advice," Shen Xiaoxia said with a smile as she looked at the woman who was walking over.

"Oh, it's Shen Zhiqing and Han Zhiqing. I'm the wife of your team leader. You can just call me Aunt Guihua."

Aunt Guihua saw that both of them were holding things in their hands, and she didn't know what the two kids wanted to talk to their husband about.

The captain's wife led the two of them home and said, "Your captain uncle has already gone to work. What do you want to talk to him about? Go ahead and tell him."

After entering the main hall, Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin handed the things in their hands to the captain's wife, "Auntie, we are new here, this is a small token of our appreciation, please be sweet."

After looking at the things in their hands, the captain's wife did not immediately take them. Instead, she asked with a smile, "What do you want to talk to your captain uncle about?"

She was worried that the matter would be difficult to find and that the gift would be difficult to accept.

"It's like this, Auntie, we just arrived and plan to rent a house in the backyard of the Youth League compound.

But you also know that it's empty inside, there's nothing.

We just arrived and don’t know anything, so we wanted to ask the team leader if anyone in the village can help us build a kang. We also want to buy some kang cabinets, clothing cabinets, tables, etc.”

As Shen Xiaoxia spoke, she stuffed the thing into the captain's wife's hand.

This time the captain's wife did not refuse and said with a smile, "So that's what it is. I thought it was a big deal!

You don’t need to ask your captain for this matter, if you need, I can take you there.”

Han Zhuxin also put the things in her hand on the table next to her and smiled at the captain's wife, "Thank you so much, auntie. When you are free, we will come to see you. Please come with us."

"If you have nothing to do, you can go now," replied the captain's wife.

"Okay, okay. Then please come with us now, thank you," Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin smiled gratefully at the captain's wife.

Putting down the things in their hands, the captain's wife led Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin out to find the villagers who were making the kang.

Arriving at the gate of a courtyard, the captain's wife led the two into the courtyard and shouted,

"From a wealthy family, from a wealthy family..."

A woman came out of the house and asked the captain's wife, "Aunt, what's wrong? What do you want from my Fugui?"

The captain's wife said to the woman, "These two are the new educated youths in our village, Shen Zhiqing and Han Zhiqing. They want to ask your Fugui to help them build a kang."

"Oh, about that, okay, I got it. When Fugui comes back from work, I'll talk to him and ask him to come over.

"Are you going to prepare the ingredients yourself, or ask his uncle to help?" the woman, Aunt Cuihua, asked Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin.

Shen Xiaoxia asked Han Zhuxin for a moment, then replied, "Let uncle and the others prepare together. We just arrived and don't know anything. It's better to trouble uncle and the others together."

Aunt Cuihua said to the three of them, "Okay, I can prepare the things at home in the morning, and when your uncle gets home from work at noon, I'll ask them to run the trip first."

"Okay, thank you, auntie. We'll go back first. We still need to clean up a bit when we get back." After saying that, Shen Xiaoxia followed Aunt Guihua out.

Next, the captain's wife took Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin to Carpenter Li's house.

Both of them used ten yuan to exchange for a wardrobe, a kang cabinet, a washbasin rack, two wooden basins, and a three-layer wooden storage cabinet.

Nowadays, when people buy and sell things privately, they don’t directly say “buy” or “sell”, they just say “exchange”.

After thanking Aunt Guihua, Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin returned to the Youth League Home.

I arrived late yesterday and didn't take a close look after putting my things away. Now I took a closer look at the room. It is a blue brick and tile house, which is better than many other houses in the village.

Because of the secrecy of the space, Shen Xiaoxia does not plan to live with others.

Before I knew I was traveling through a book, I was thinking that if the Youth League Home only had large dormitories, I would rent a house in the village where no one lived.

Even if it needs some repairs, it's fine as long as I plan to live there alone.

Looking at it now, this situation is quite good. I have my own independent space and am together with everyone else, so my safety is better guaranteed.

I found a stick outside, picked up some weeds, made a simple weed duster, and prepared to sweep the house from top to bottom.

I signed in during this period and got a straw hat, which comes in handy right now.

Shen Xiaoxia put on a straw hat and swept the roof and walls carefully with a duster made of weeds.

After the kang is built, I plan to cover the walls with newspapers to prevent dust from falling later.
