Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 21 The Uninhibited Life of the 60 Educated Youths 20

The dormitory was not small, at least not small if only the two of them lived there. Due to the location, there was a large kang (a heated brick bed) right in front of the entrance. There was a large window in the middle of the back wall of the kang, so the room was quite bright during the day.

Besides the kang (heated brick bed), all that was left was a table and two rickety stools.

Thinking back to their previous life in the countryside, where the ground was always covered in mud if it got wet, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu decided not to move into the dormitory immediately. Instead, they spent a lot of money to get some cement from the black market and leveled the entire floor of the house. The extra cement was used to pave the open space in front of the door, so that they could build a shed next to it and set up a stove to cook.

After the floor dried, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu began a thorough cleaning: replacing windows, repainting walls, moving the repainted and repaired tables and chairs into the house, and most importantly, gradually organizing all the luggage they had brought into the house.

When the two of them finally finished packing all their things and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) in their new dormitory, they suddenly realized that it was all real—they had actually left the countryside!

Although they didn't return to a big city like Kyoto, at least the two of them have regained their urban household registration and no longer have to go through the arduous (not really) process of working in the fields every day.

Principal Tian of the commune primary school officially started work at the school the day after Ji Han and his companions moved into the dormitory. Several teachers of all ages also came back with him. To Ji Han and his companions' surprise, there was someone they knew among these teachers: Sun Yang.

Sun Yang was an old educated youth from Zhangzhuang Brigade. However, after he married a fellow villager, he moved directly to his wife's family home. Therefore, although Ji Han and Sun Yang knew him, they were only acquaintances and not very close.

Principal Tian cheerfully gathered everyone into a classroom. Judging from the arrangement of the desks and chairs inside, this should be the future office.

"Alright, comrades, all of our teachers are here today. There are old colleagues and new colleagues. Let's all introduce ourselves. From now on, we will all be working at our commune primary school. Today, let's also divide up the subjects for the future. Everyone should prepare their lesson plans in advance."

The commune primary school has six grades in total, with grades 1-4 being lower primary school and grades 5-6 being upper primary school. Due to the current number of students, each grade is only allocated one classroom.

Ji Han was assigned to teach math to first and second graders, while Shi Shaoyu taught Chinese. A gentle-speaking teacher, Ms. Li, who looked to be in her thirties, was in charge of Chinese to third and fourth graders, while Sun Yang was in charge of math. The remaining fifth and sixth graders were taught math and Chinese by the previous teachers, Ms. Zhang and Ms. Liu, respectively.

Besides these, the school also has a retired veteran, Grandpa Li, who guards the gate, and an elderly woman, Grandma Liu, who cooks in the canteen. These are all the staff members of the entire commune primary school.

Of course, a school's curriculum includes more than just Chinese and math. The extra courses are taught by the two teachers in charge of that grade. Similarly, the principal and two elderly support staff are responsible for other miscellaneous tasks in the school.

With all the staff present, everyone's first day at work wasn't about giving lectures or preparing lessons; it was about doing a thorough cleaning!

The group of nine worked together, cleaning the entire school thoroughly, inside and out, and even carefully wiping down every table and chair.

For the next three days, everyone spent replacing glass and repairing tables, chairs and benches. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu even learned how to mix mud to patch walls and how to repair roof tiles in a short period of time.

Everything was ready, and just as Ji Han was rubbing his hands together, thinking he could finally stand on the podium and give a lecture, Principal Tian waved his hand dismissively.

"Comrades! We have completed the campus renovation work very well. We can start teaching as soon as the students register. Therefore, we will have a wheat harvest holiday for the next month! I hope that everyone will actively participate in the field work and enjoy the joy of the harvest with the villagers!"

Ji Han/Shi Shaoyu...

It's impossible for me to participate in labor; I can't participate in this kind of thing at all!

Since they had a month-long vacation, the two of them simply went to the commune to get letters of introduction, wanting to go back to Kyoto. Of course, Ji Han successfully exchanged two packs of Yingchun cigarettes for two blank letters of introduction. If he had the chance, he wanted to visit the original owner's grandparents.

Before setting off, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu thought it over and over again, and finally gritted their teeth and bought a permanent Mustard Seed Space from the system store.

After purchasing the Mustard Seed Space, it was directly bound to the souls of Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu. According to the system introduction, this was a space used by a powerful cultivator in the cultivation world to grow spiritual plants. Later, the powerful cultivator ascended to immortality, and the space somehow ended up in the system shop.

After the two people were bound together, they went inside and saw that the space was quite large and could be used for planting. However, due to the lack of spiritual energy in the plane they were currently in, the spiritual spring inside had become ordinary spring water, and the spiritual plants would also become ordinary plants after the spiritual energy inside dissipated.

Of course, if the host is willing to purchase spirit stones from the shop and place them in the spatial array to preserve those spirit plants, then that's a different story.

After looking at the price of spirit stones, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu decisively gave up the idea of ​​buying them. At least for now, they had absolutely no such idea. After all, this mustard seed space had just used up the points they had just earned as a reward. Now, the two of them had worked hard for half a year and were back to square one.

With the space, their travel became much more convenient. They first went to the village to buy some wild game and even some grain, since not everyone in the city had an easy life these days.

As for the items in the supply and marketing cooperative, the two of them bought relatively few. If they really wanted to buy more, they could do so when they returned to Kyoto, where the department stores had a much wider variety of goods.

After shopping, the two of them packed four large packages and two small packages. The large packages were to be taken back to the Shi and Ji families, while the small packages were to be carried on their backs for use on the train.

The two bought train tickets and endured another agonizing day and night before finally arriving safely back in Kyoto. The Kyoto train station was still bustling with people. After exiting the station, Ji Han and the other person first found a secluded alley to take out their belongings before squeezing onto a bus and returning to the military compound.
