Only then did Chu Xin understand the meaning of the captain's look at her at that time, and he deliberately brought her home when allocating houses.

Chu Xin was a little unfamiliar with this deep friendship and didn't know what to say.

I can only secretly make a decision in my heart that I must be good to their family in the future, and protect them no matter what happens. They are my family!

After calming down, Li Xiulan took Chu Xin to see the room that had been prepared for her.

The room is not big, but it is very warmly decorated. The walls are all covered with old newspapers, and the small kang is covered with brand new sheets.

Although the ground is mud, it is flat and clean.

Under the open window, there is a desk with a small ceramic pot on it, with a few wild flowers in it. It can be seen that Li Xiulan has put a lot of thought into herself.

Chu Xin looked at Wang Youzhi behind him and joked, "Captain, you're losing money by living in this house for ten dollars a year!"

Wang Youzhi glared.

"Why call me Captain? Your father calls me Sister Xiulan, so I am your uncle. I will call you that from now on! The rent is for outsiders to see. Family members know their own business."

Chu Xin straightened her expression upon hearing this, and called out to Li Xiulan and Wang Youzhi in all seriousness, "Aunt, Uncle!"

Li Xiulan was so excited that she almost cried again. Wang Youzhi tried to stop her.

"Don't cry anymore, or the house will be flooded. We have two kids at home, and they'll be home from work soon. Let's cook dinner quickly. Jiaojiao didn't eat well on the way here, so make something hearty so the kids can have a good meal!"

Li Xiulan stopped crying this time. She wiped her tears and ran straight to the kitchen.

Chu Xin also went into the kitchen to help.

After putting down their luggage, the few people who stayed at the educated youth site looked at the dim room and felt a little depressed. After resting for a while, they began to tidy up and clean the room, hoping to go to bed early.

It is summer now, so there is no need to put anything on the kang. Just simply wipe it clean, put on the sheets and you can go to sleep.

As for tables and cabinets, they are not available. We need to ask Murakami's carpenters to make them.

After a busy day, everything was finally tidied up and no one cooked.

The old educated youth are not here, so their things cannot be touched casually!

They just ate some of the food they brought with them. Wang Xiaocao only had a small amount of dry food with him, and he had finished it before getting off the bus.

Song Lingling agreed with Wang Xiaocao that if she helped her with the work, she would be given a piece of egg cake.

Liu Zhenzhen looked at Song Lingling lying on the kang and Wang Xiaocao busying around in and out, with a flash of contempt in her eyes. What an idiot.

Just after finishing their meal, the old educated youth who had gone to work came back one after another.

Several people dragged their tired bodies in, all of them covered in dust.

Seeing them, Huo Cheng and his friends couldn't help but worry about their future life in the countryside.

I know that going to the countryside is hard and that I have to do a lot of farm work. But when I really saw the old educated youth who had gone through hardships, I deeply understood how hard it was!

When the people who came in saw Huo Cheng and the others, they realized that they were the new educated youth who had arrived today, and they all came forward to greet them.

The person in charge of the educated youth site is Luo Yu, 24 years old, who has been in the countryside for five years. He is not tall and has the whitest skin among the old educated youth. He speaks like a good brother.

After Luo Yu finished introducing himself, he pointed to the five people behind him and said:

"This is Zhang Meifeng, she's been in the countryside for four years. This is Chen Xi, she's been in the countryside for two years. The thinner one in the back is Deng Kai, he's been in the countryside for three years. The other male comrade is Chen Xin, and the female comrade is Chen Yue. They came two months earlier than you."

Huo Cheng and others also introduced themselves.

After the old educated youth entered the room, Liu Zhenzhen stared at Chen Xin and Chen Yue who were standing at the back. She couldn't stop the hatred in her eyes and almost couldn't control herself and went forward to kill them.

Chen Xin didn't notice anything yet, Chen Yue frowned and looked back at Liu Zhenzhen, there was something wrong with this woman!

Meeting Chen Yue's gaze, Liu Zhenzhen suddenly came to her senses, dug her nails into her palms, and warned herself,

"Don't be impatient. Nothing has happened yet. I will never be so foolish as to trust these two again in this life. I will make them pay for their debt in this life with blood!"

Luo Yu and his companions were about to wash their hands and eat.

There was a "bang" sound of something falling to the ground.

Everyone turned around and saw Chen Xin's iron shovel fell to the ground and he was standing at the kitchen door, cursing.

"Where's Shi Xiangxiang? Why didn't Shi Xiangxiang come back to cook? She came back so early, but she didn't cook and she wasn't even here?"

Upon hearing this, the other old educated youth ran into the kitchen, but they indeed did not see Shi Xiangxiang, and their faces looked a little unhappy.

After working all day, I am hungry and look forward to coming home to have a hot meal.

Shi Xiangxiang didn’t cook and no one knew where she went!

Luo Yu turned his head to look at the newcomers.

"Did you see a female educated youth come back to cook in the afternoon?"

Huo Cheng and the others looked at each other.

"No, it was already quite late when we arrived. No one had come back before you did."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu and the others looked even uglier.

Zhang Meifeng thought for a moment and said, "No matter how ignorant Shi Xiangxiang is, she wouldn't play a joke on us like this. Let's go look for her. It's getting dark now. What if something happened?"

When Chen Yue heard that they had to go out and look for Shi Xiangxiang, she immediately exploded.

"Tell her to come back early. Not only is dinner not cooked, but now I have to go out and look for her. I'm almost dead tired. Why should I go to look for her? If I don't go, whoever wants to go can go?

She relies on her looks to flirt with other women all day long and doesn't want to work. Who knows where she went to find someone else?"

Everyone had different expressions when they heard her words, and Liu Zhenzhen curled the corners of her mouth sarcastically.

Luo Yu pondered for a while and told Zhang Meifeng,

"You will cook dinner tonight. We male educated youth will go out and look for it. Deng Kai, go inform the team leader and ask him to help as well."

Deng Kai agreed and walked out of the Youth League Home with a sour look on his face.

Huo Cheng and the others couldn't just stand by and watch, so they said to Luo Yu, "Let's go out and look for them too. There's strength in numbers!"

Luo Yu nodded to express his gratitude, found a flashlight, and took the male educated youth out.

Zhang Meifeng smiled sheepishly, "Have you all eaten yet? How about I make some more?"

Liu Zhenzhen shook her head, "We've all eaten."

Zhang Mei also agreed and said that she had eaten.

Chen Yue sneered, kicked the iron shovel that fell to the ground, turned around and went into the house, with no intention of helping with cooking.

Liu Zhenzhen nodded to Zhang Meifeng, opened the door and went back to the house.

Zhang Mei looked at Zhang Meifeng and said, "Let me help you cook."

Zhang Meifeng waved her hands repeatedly, "You must be tired from the journey, go inside and rest early."

Zhang Mei walked into the kitchen and sat in front of the stove.

"It's okay, I'm not tired now. Sister Meifeng, can you tell me about the educated youth camp?"

Zhang Meifeng did not insist any longer and started washing the pot and cooking.

"At the educated youth camp, we can cook and eat together, like we did. One person takes turns cooking every day, and everyone's food is put together.

If you want to eat separately, that's fine, but if you're worried about not having enough food, you'll have to set up a stove yourself."

Zhang Mei thought for a moment and nodded, "Let's wait until all our new educated youth arrive and see what they say."

Zhang Meifeng then instructed:

"To the west of the educated youth site is the cowshed where the relegated people lived. You should be careful and don't go there. If you get too close, it can easily lead to accidents."

Zhang Mei nodded and agreed.

This is the captain's house.

Chu Xin and Li Xiu Lan had just finished cooking when they heard noise at the door.

A boy who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, his face tanned and shiny, covered with sweat, strode into the room, grinning with a mouthful of big white teeth.

"Mom, what did you cook today? Why do I smell meat?"

As he was speaking, he looked up and saw Chu Xin coming out of the kitchen, and he was immediately stunned.

"Good boy, brother, a fairy has come to our house!"

The person who followed him in raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, "What are you talking about?"

Then he was also stunned when he saw Chu Xin.

Chu Xin faced the two men's fiery gazes, not knowing what to say. She tapped her toes on the ground in embarrassment. Who would come to save her?

Li Xiulan stood at the kitchen door with her hands on her hips and said,

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you call someone? This is your sister Jiaojiao, her name is Chu Xin!"

"Hello, sister. You are so beautiful, just like a fairy in a painting!"

The young man who came in first scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly.

The other boy was much more steady and spoke maturely, "Sister, you're here!"

Chu Xin quickly responded with a smile: "Hello!"

Seeing this, Li Xiulan pulled Chu Xin over and pointed at the lively boy and introduced him.

"This is Wang Sheng, the middle child at twelve, always acting like a jerk."

Pointing to another one, he said, "This one's called Wang Qiang, he's one year younger than you. You two used to play together when you were in the military area!"

Chu Xin had no impression of it. Maybe she was too young at that time, and the original owner had no memory of it at all.

"Alright, wash your hands and eat. You guys are taking advantage of Jiaojiao today and I made braised pork for you!"

Li Xiulan said to the two boys.

Wang Sheng stuck out his tongue and pulled his brother to wash his hands.

Just then, Wang Youzhi also came back from outside. Before it got completely dark, he went to the team to check the situation on the land.

Everyone was sitting around the table, about to start eating when there was a rapid knock on the door. Wang Youzhi frowned. Was something wrong?
