All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

After returning to the dormitory and briefly washing up, Yue Wenxuan spread his own bedding on the edge of the kang.

There are five rooms in the Educated Youth Home, with the kitchen built in the middle and two dormitories on the left and right.

The two dormitories to the east of the kitchen are both boys' dormitories, and the dormitory where Yue Wenxuan and others live is located at the eastern end.

Compared with the dormitory next to the kitchen, the conditions of the dormitory where Yue Wenxuan and others lived were slightly worse.

The only difference is heating.

There is no coal rationing in rural areas, which means that without coal stamps, you cannot buy coal in winter and have to rely on burning firewood for heating.

Rural areas in the plains don't even have much firewood, so they can only rely on the little heat from cooking to stay warm in the winter.

In this way, the dormitory next to the kitchen will of course be warmer. The earthen kang will have some heat at night, and it will be much more comfortable after getting into bed.

The dormitory where Yue Wenxuan and others lived was separated by an entire room from the kitchen. The little bit of heat that came through the kang hole could not even heat the earthen kang. Sleeping on the earthen kang at night was bone-chillingly cold.

It's March in the Gregorian calendar, and the weather is still very cold. The edge of the kang is the coldest corner, and it's close to the outer wall. This is the worst location in the dormitory.

But Yue Wenxuan came the last, so naturally it was not easy to compete with others because of sleeping problems.

Sha Pingchang was a bit arrogant and didn't talk much to begin with. Xiong Jun was even more silent because of his five-category status. Only the cheerful Zuo Xiangqun was always talking beside him.

"Wenxuan, I have a good physique and am not very afraid of the cold. Why don't we change places? It's still a bit cold to sleep on the edge of the kang at this time. You just came here. Don't let you catch a cold."

Yue Wenxuan was very happy that Zuo Xiangqun could say this, and of course he would not trade with him, "Forget it, look at you, you are as thin as a bean sprout, you don't look like a The one who can withstand the cold is me sleeping on the edge of the kang, I'm in good health, you don't have to worry."

"Don't look at it. It's not very cold now. If you get up to pee after sleeping until midnight, you will freeze to death." Zuo Xiangqun reminded.

"Don't worry, my quilt isn't very thick, but it's stuffed with new cotton. It's warm. Don't worry, it won't be cold."

Yue Wenxuan was well prepared. The quilt was newly made and very warm.

Zuo Xiangqun reached out and pinched Yue Wenxuan's quilt, and said with some envy:

"It's so soft and it's really new cotton. Your mother is so kind to you.

Our family is in trouble. This year we are going to the countryside again, and our three brothers and sisters are gone all at once. Even if they have the intention to make more comprehensive preparations for us, they are powerless because we don’t have that many tickets at home.

Especially the quilt issue made my mother very worried.

The places where the three of us brothers and sisters went to the countryside were all in the north, so we all needed a thick quilt.

But there is not so much cotton at home, so we can only bring our old quilts.

The small amount of cotton subsidized by the resettlement office can only make a pair of cotton shoes. It cannot solve the problem of cotton-padded jackets, let alone make quilts. "

Without a thick quilt, winter will definitely be difficult, but Yue Wenxuan can't say anything to help now, so he can only deal with it casually:

"I see that your quilt is not very thin. It's a bit hard to survive the winter, but it shouldn't be cold at this time, right?"

“It’s really not cold now, and I’ve finally gotten through the coldest days.

I came to Dahe Village in the twelfth lunar month of last year to jump in. Maybe the house in the Educated Youth Yard was built too late, so it was cold and cold in the winter.But there was no stove in the house, so I didn't even dare to waste more firewood for cooking. I was really freezing to death.

Although my quilt is made of re-stretched cotton, it still feels too cold. I have to cover myself with all my clothes when I sleep at night to feel better.

At that time, I particularly regretted choosing to come to the north to jump in line. It would have been better if I had chosen to go to the south, at least I wouldn’t have to worry about being frozen in the winter. "

Yue Wenxuan said: "The South also has the difficulties of the South. You may not be able to adapt. If you really go, you might regret it even more.

The folks in the village don't all live like this. Once we get used to it, we won't feel the pain anymore. "

The two of them were talking and fell asleep unconsciously.

Yue Wenxuan was in good health and the quilt was warm. He was not woken up by the cold in the middle of the night and slept until dawn.

When other people in the dormitory woke up one after another, Yue Wenxuan also got up and washed up.

The Educated Youth Institute leads a small collective life, and all aspects of life are divided into divisions.

Male educated youths are responsible for fetching water and sweeping the yard, while female educated youths are responsible for cooking.

Today, it was Bai Yating who was sitting at the mouth of the stove lighting the fire. After the water boiled, she shouted loudly:

"Sha Pingchang, Huang Ning, the water is boiling, you two hurry up and make eggs."

"Okay, let's go right away." Dasheng Huang Ning shouted.

Sha Pingchang, who was in the same dormitory as Yue Wenxuan, said nothing. Yue Wenxuan saw him open the cabinet, take an egg and walk out.

Now only Yue Wenxuan and Zuo Xiangqun were left in the dormitory. He asked in a low voice: "Are Sha Pingchang and Huang Ning the only ones who want to make eggs?"

"The two of them have better economic conditions. They bought some eggs from fellow villagers privately and make one every morning to supplement their nutrition."

Zuo Xiangqun looked at Yue Wenxuan's clothes again and said:

"Looking at what you are wearing, the conditions at home must be good. If you feel you can afford it, you can eat an egg in the morning to supplement your nutrition like the two of them. No one will gossip."

"It doesn't matter to me. The main reason is that when my eldest sister was still growing, it was necessary to eat an egg every morning to supplement her nutrition.

Since everyone has no objections, I will go back to my fellow villagers to buy some eggs for later use. "

Zuo Xiangqun was not jealous because of Yue Wenxuan's words. He specifically warned:

"Both of them bought eggs from fellow villagers for five cents each. You should also give them this price. Don't give them two prices. That would be bad.

The fellow villagers are very honest. They go to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell eggs at the same price, and they don't charge more.

If you can pool your money, living in the country has its advantages. At least there are no tickets to buy eggs, and the prices are not high. "

When the topic of eggs came up, Yue Wenxuan took the opportunity to ask: "I see that we feed a few chickens in our educated youth courtyard. Are there any regulations in this regard?"

“There are regulations that each educated youth can only feed one chicken.

In the next few days, you two can also buy two chicks and bring them back. We will raise them together in the Educated Youth Home. The eggs they lay will be considered collective property in the future. Of course Yue Wenxuan had no objection, "Okay, then I'll buy back two chicks as soon as possible. We two came late and we can't hold back." "

Zuo Xiangqun picked up his thermos and said, "Let's go to the kitchen to get hot water.

Under normal circumstances, I make a pot of hot water in the morning.

There is no stove, so it is inconvenient to boil hot water. We always boil more water when cooking, and then everyone pours it into the thermos.

You haven't got your resettlement supplies yet, so you can use a thermos with me for now. "

The two of them walked into the kitchen. Huang Ning was holding a bowl and talking to Bai Yating:
"Yating, maybe I ate too much last night. I'm not very hungry yet. I've cooked this egg, but I have no appetite at all. Why don't you help me drink it?"

Huang Ning's intentions were so obvious that not only Bai Yating understood his thoughts, but also everyone else.

After Yue Hongying arrived, the number of female educated youths in Dahe Village reached four.

Among these four female educated youths, except for Xiao Haiyan, who looked a bit ordinary, the other three were actually rare beauties.

Yue Hongying is already one of the most beautiful women, but among the four female educated youths, if ranked in terms of beauty, she can only be ranked third.

The most beautiful among the four is Dong Yumeng. She is from Yangzhou. She is a typical Jiangnan water town woman. She has a slim figure, fair skin, a small face as big as a palm, pure and beautiful.

It's a pity that she comes from a bad background and is a child of a capitalist family. Although she is beautiful, her status as a black martial artist is enough to scare away most suitors.

Bai Yating has a standard oval-seed face, and her voice is soft and gentle, and she has the charm of a sickly beauty.

Such character and style are rare in this era.

Women in this period do not like red clothes and prefer armed weapons. They admire that women can hold up half the sky. They are generally repelled by Bai Yating's overly weak character.

However, her temperament was very popular with several male educated youths, especially Huang Ning, who did not hide his inner thoughts at all and launched a fierce pursuit of her from the moment they first met.

Bai Yating is a native of the county town. She comes from an ordinary working-class family and has too many brothers and sisters. It may be that her living conditions have been poor since she was a child, so her ideas are relatively high and realistic.

She has always dreamed of finding a partner with good family conditions and strong personal abilities. She has had enough of the hard life since she was a child. She hopes to start a new happy life after getting married.

She knew that she was beautiful and had a smart mind, and she believed that she would be able to realize this wish.

It's a pity that she didn't catch up with the good times and went to the countryside to join the queue at the most beautiful age. This suddenly made her choices very narrow.

Facing Huang Ning's inquiry, Bai Yating raised her head, frowned slightly, and said slightly displeasedly:

"Huang Ning, how many times have I told you that we are just ordinary comrades. Can you not be so enthusiastic about me? This will make other people misunderstand. This is not good."

Ever since he came to Dahe Village to jump in line, Huang Ning from this county has launched a fierce pursuit of Bai Yating. Even Zhai Yuanwei from Liancheng has vaguely expressed the same idea.

She first excluded Zhai Yuanwei.

Zhai Yuanwei was from an ordinary family, and his family conditions were only slightly better than theirs.

Moreover, he was too stingy, very scheming, and average-looking, so Bai Yating naturally looked down on him.

Huang Ning was still able to catch her eye. His family situation was good. His father was a small cadre in the factory, and he was a local. If she married him in the future, there should be hope of returning to the city.

But she disliked Huang Ning's personality very much. He was too impulsive when things happened, and he was also stubborn and had no brains. He was often taken advantage of by Zhai Yuanwei, which made her look down upon him.

Among the several male educated youths, the only one who caught her eye was Sha Pingchang from Kyoto.

Although she didn't know what level of cadre Sha Pingchang's father was, she could analyze from some details that the economic conditions of Sha Pingchang's family should be very good.

Moreover, Sha Pingchang was tall and handsome. Although he was a little arrogant, he was a smart man, which attracted her very much.

When she first came to Dahe Village, she had already regarded Sha Pingchang as her strategy target, but she was not in a hurry to act. It would take a long time in the future, so just take your time.

Originally her goal was very clear, but when she saw Yue Wenxuan last night, she hesitated again.

Yue Wenxuan is more handsome than Sha Pingchang, and his clothes are more elegant. Especially the calm temperament he displays is very reassuring and completely different from his peers.

She was somewhat glad that she hadn't revealed her feelings for Sha Pingchang yet, which gave her more choices.

Finding a partner for marriage is the most important thing in her life. She must not be blind, let alone anxious. She plans to take a look at it slowly and not make a decision in a hurry.

Bai Yating spoke in a soft voice. Although her tone of voice was not very good, hearing it in Huang Ning's ears not only did not make him feel a little guilty, but instead made him feel more affectionate.

He continued shamelessly: "You misunderstood. I just felt that your health was not very good and you didn't have the strength to work, so I thought of giving you some nutrition. This was just out of concern and love for my comrades. Absolutely no other ideas.”

"You don't need to explain this to me. Although we are all gay, there are differences between men and women, so it's better to keep a distance."

I don't know if it was because Yue Wenxuan was around today, so her tone of voice was a little more serious than usual.

Although Huang Ning had a thick skin, he was still a little embarrassed in front of everyone and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Bai Yating didn't want to offend Huang Ning to death, so she followed up and said considerately:
"If you really have no appetite, you can give it to Haiyan to drink. Haiyan hasn't been feeling well these past two days and needs some nutrition."

Xiao Haiyan is also an educated youth from the local county town. Because they are from the same place, they usually have a good relationship. In addition, her personality is a bit carefree, so she said nonchalantly:
"I'm afraid that Comrade Huang Ning is fake and generous and won't be willing to give me a drink."

After finally getting down the stairs, it was just an egg. Of course Huang Ning would not be reluctant to part with it. He looked indignant and said

"When have I ever been stingy? Since you weren't feeling well, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have let you drink it."

"It sounds nice, why don't I believe it?" Xiao Haiyan sneered at this sentence.

"Then do you still want to drink? If not, then I will drink it myself."

Xiao Haiyan stretched out her hand and snatched the bowl from Huang Ning's hand, "I'm not as pretty as Yating, but I have a bigger appetite than her. It's rare for you to be generous, so I have to eat you up."

A small disturbance occurred in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Zhai Yuanwei looked indignant and looked at Huang Ning with a sinister look.

Xiong Jun had no expression on his face, Zuo Xiangqun watched the excitement happily, while Sha Pingchang looked at Bai Yating with obvious admiration.
