A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling

After taking a couple of puffs of his pipe, seeing that no one was saying anything, the captain smiled knowingly and then turned to introduce the private room next door.

"Of course, there are definitely single rooms available for those who feel that the dormitory is not enough or do not want to live there. For example, those two rooms with stacks of firewood at the entrance are rented by the older educated youth."

"The room is five meters long and four meters wide, with doors and windows at the front and back. There is a small plot of land at the back (about 20 square meters) where you can grow some vegetables. There is a kang (heated brick bed) inside the room... There is only a kang. The flue under the kang is also installed, but you have to prepare your own cabinets and other things. You also have to build your own stove. It's not free, it costs ten yuan a year."

"And our village has electricity now, so if you want to run an electric wire, that's fine too. It'll cost extra."

"So, where do you want to stay?"

Xie Jingquan always had a smiling face, making it impossible for Yun Shu to imagine how frightening he would be when he had a cold expression. Hearing his question, Yun Shu and the others exchanged glances and silently made up their minds; after all, ten yuan a year wasn't expensive.

Just as everyone was about to suggest booking a private room, Yang Yue, who hadn't said a word the whole way, spoke up first.

"I live in the main room."

Yes, as mentioned in the book, Yang Yue's family was not well-off. There were many children in the family, and they couldn't find jobs. Including her, there were three siblings who went to the countryside, leaving only her older brother in the city.

Her family still had some patriarchal tendencies, and the supplies they had prepared for her trip to the countryside were insufficient. If it weren't for the fact that she had managed to "borrow" some things from her male classmates because of her looks, and the additional subsidies she received as a sent-down youth, she probably wouldn't have been able to even buy the new, unpatched clothes she was wearing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have immediately set her sights on Yun Shu as soon as she got on the bus, trying to intimidate and win over the soft-hearted Yun Shu by treating her as a sucker.

Ten yuan a year in rent is unthinkable in the city, and it's a very reasonable price in the countryside, but it's something Yang Yue, from a family that favors sons over daughters, can't afford.

Or perhaps she was reluctant to take it out.

……

Captain Xie was not surprised and nodded in agreement. After telling Yang Yue to discuss the bedding arrangements with the veteran educated youth, he turned to look at Yun Shu and the other four.

As Captain Xie predicted, Yun Shu's group of educated youth were generally wealthier than the previous group. Of the six, five wanted to live in single rooms and all of them needed to have electricity installed.

The captain nodded with a smile and led the group to choose a house. Actually, there wasn't much to choose from; they were all unfinished houses, and apart from a two-meter by two-meter kang (a heated brick bed), there was practically nothing inside.

Since two male educated youths were already living in the single room on the right, Yun Shu and Lin Jing Shu chose the two adjacent rooms on the left. The three male educated youths, Jiang Xiu Cheng, Chen Ming, and Pei Wen Yuan, lived opposite each other.

The rent for two years was settled all at once, but the electricity bill would have to be paid monthly. The team leader held ten ten-yuan bills in his hand and pointed at a few people.

"Wang the carpenter's house is right across from the educated youth settlement. He has cabinets, wooden basins, tables, chairs, benches and the like, and the prices are reasonable."

"His mother also wove a kang mat, but for bowls, chopsticks, plates, pots and pans, we had to go to the county to buy them."

"For the stove-building thing, go to the accountant's eldest son. He's a master at it, and it won't cause any smoke buildup. It'll be safe for you to stay here. The accountant's house is right next to mine. If you want to go later, just come with me."

"Don't rush to fix the wiring. The man isn't here today; he went to his wife's parents' house. Just bear with it for now, and I'll have someone come and fix it when he gets back tomorrow."

Everything was explained clearly, big or small, and Yun Shu and the others quickly thanked him. After hurriedly settling their luggage into their small rooms, the group followed the brigade leader to the accountant's house. After discussing the construction of the stove, they found the educated youth settlement according to their memories and went to the carpenter Wang's house across the street to buy furniture.

......

Yun Shu never felt she had too much storage space. In her previous life, she had filled a 40-square-meter single apartment to the brim, let alone the small, unfinished 20-square-meter apartment she now occupied.

Therefore, in addition to the two kang mats, Yun Shu directly asked Wang the carpenter for a large kang qin cabinet, which was 1.8 meters long, 0.5 meters wide, and 1.5 meters high. It was divided into two layers and placed on the kang against the wall.

The large space on top of the kangqin cabinet can be used to store quilts. She remembered that when she was a child in the countryside, her family also had a large kangqin cabinet, and she loved to crawl into it. The lower part of the cabinet is divided into four small compartments, which can also be used to store some personal clothing and more valuable items.

Actually, such a large kang (heated brick bed) cabinet is usually only needed by large families to store all the bedding and blankets for the whole family, or simply piled on the kang itself, without much regard for decorum. Therefore, when a young girl like Yunshu chose it, it surprised the carpenter, Wang.

But Yun Shu thought, since the book mentioned that the female lead and male lead's romantic storyline would mainly unfold in Fengsheng Brigade for the next two years, and there wouldn't be a chance to return to the city before the college entrance exam, she figured she'd likely be living there for the next two years anyway. Why not make herself more comfortable?

Just like a single dormitory room in college, no matter how big the space or how much storage there is, it's still not enough for a girl.

Moreover, she never intended to hide her persona of being wealthy and from a good family. She wanted everyone to know that not all educated youth were the same; she was rich, pampered by her family, and able to live a comfortable and carefree life.

Originally, there was no requirement for educated youth to go to the countryside to eat bran and wild vegetables, or to suffer hunger and cold. There were no regulations that said this was the only way to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants. Moreover, nowadays, educated youth going to the countryside is more of a formality. As long as they don't cause trouble, few people care too much.

So as long as she is vigilant enough and can avoid being taken advantage of, she will decide to live according to her own standards in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

After briefly mentioning that a lot of things would be sent to her home later and she would need space to put them, Yun Shu chose two double-door wardrobes, each one meter long and one and a half meters high. Fortunately, the wardrobes were only 40 centimeters wide, so placing them against the wall wouldn't obstruct Yun Shu's movement.

There are also two wooden boxes for storing seasonal clothes and miscellaneous items, which will be convenient to place on the wardrobe or the kang (heated brick bed) cabinet.

In addition to these large items, Yun Shu also picked out a small square table of one square meter with two stools for eating, a washbasin and towel rack, a bowl rack and a storage rack.

The weather in Northeast China is cold, and even if there are wells in the educated youth settlements, the water can easily freeze in the dead of winter. Therefore, almost every household prepares two large earthenware jars to store water, which makes it convenient to use.

However, this item is not sold in the team; they can only buy it when the people who sell and repair jars go around the streets and alleys to hawk their wares.

The weather isn't completely cold yet, so there's no rush.

As for water cups, tooth mugs, washbasins, and foot basins, she planned to take two enamel basins out of her "luggage" later.

Lin Jingshu, who wasn't short of money, bought something similar, especially a large bath tub, which wasn't readily available and had to be made on-site.

The male educated youth bought even fewer things, and they weren't as well-equipped as the two girls with their "golden touch." They could share a wardrobe, let alone a kang (heated brick bed) or a piano cabinet.

Perhaps because the two Shu bought a lot, Wang the carpenter made a lot of money. When he saw the three educated youth discussing how to move the things and how many trips it would take to finish, he happily said that they didn't need to worry about it and that he would arrange for his two sons to deliver the goods to them on a cart.

The group of people naturally thanked them quickly.

After leaving Wang the carpenter's house, Yun Shu and Lin Jing Shu walked hand in hand ahead, while the three male educated youths followed behind as if they had suddenly reached a tacit understanding, quietly listening to the two girls whispering excitedly.

From the journey to the countryside by car, to the bumpy ride on the tractor, and Pei Wenxuan's unexpected intervention in negotiating the price with Carpenter Wang on their behalf, shattering his facade as a naive, bookish scholar unaware of the hardships of life, it seemed that in that instant, something called revolutionary friendship arose among the five strangers in a foreign land.
