"You can borrow a bicycle from the team, but there are only two 28-inch bicycles. Otherwise, you can only walk." Xie Chengzhi answered, and when he saw that no one had any more questions, he said, "You guys clean up, we won't bother you anymore." Only a few people who were moving the chicken coop stayed behind, and he asked everyone else to leave.

No one else paid attention to this arrangement, but Chen Xudong, Zhou Dong and a few others were secretly shocked.

This is a far cry from the treatment they received two years ago. When they came, they shared the house with everyone else. No one bothered with them about firewood and water, and the stove was installed and used directly when the weather was cold. It seemed that everyone was really scared by Shi Meijun.

Regardless of the arrangements made by the people in the inner courtyard, Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen followed Xing Qingsheng and others to the backyard. After a brief discussion, they set up a chicken coop at the door of the small warehouse. They picked the large-leafed vegetables planted nearby and cooked them for later use. They also erected some fences around the area, which provided a space for the chickens to come out while also blocking the small warehouse from entering.

The door of the small warehouse was made of branches. In addition to some tools, there was also a nest of newborn rabbits.

Everyone was busy, Luo Ye quietly came over, tugged at Zhu Xiaomin's clothes, and called softly, "Sister Xiaomin."

Zhu Xiaomin turned around and saw that his little face was full of anxiety. She hugged him and said softly, "It's okay. Come find us if you have any problems."

I know that although they have been in the educated youth camp for more than a year, they still feel nervous when they are surrounded by strangers after being bullied for a long time.

Luo Ye nodded, glanced at the small warehouse, and suddenly said, "How about we live here?"

"How can that be possible?" Zhu Xiaomin objected subconsciously.

Luo Ye whispered, "This room is also very good, but if we move in, there will be no place for the rabbit."

Miao Shiwen glanced at the warehouse and said softly, "It doesn't matter whether we raise rabbits or not. Although this room is in the backyard, there are people living on both sides of the two walls. It is not necessarily safer than over there."

Knowing that new educated youth were coming, they had reduced the number of rabbits.

Luo Ye thought about it, fell silent, and held Zhu Xiaomin's arms tightly with both hands.

Zhu Xiaomin rubbed his head and said softly, "We'll discuss it later."

Luo Ye nodded and said, "I...my dad said that he won't come out for dinner tonight." Thinking about all the doors he would have to pass by on his way back, he felt indescribably nervous.

This is because they are afraid of getting involved.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Help me take these vegetables, I will go with you later." She left the male educated youth to work, and she and Miao Shiwen took him back to the outer courtyard.

In the outer courtyard, everyone was sitting together and talking in low voices. Seeing Luo Ye coming over, Xie Chengzhi asked, "Is it Mr. Luo, what do you want to say?"

Ever since those people entered the yard, Luo Tingyuan and his son closed the door and did not come out.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, touched Luo Ye's head and said, "They are a little nervous." He pulled a small stool and asked Luo Ye to help pick vegetables. He came over and sat down, and said, "I didn't expect so many people to come."

Among these people, there were several male educated youth whom I had seen in my previous life, but the female educated youth were all strangers.

I really don't know what triggered these changes.

Song Zhian was worried: "There are only two empty rooms now. What if so many people come again next year? How will they accommodate us?"

No more next year!

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Xiaoya is leaving soon. Maybe our room will be vacated next year, so we can still accommodate a dozen more people."

Song Zhian was anxious: "It was agreed that the room would be reserved for you."

Miao Shiwen laughed: "Xiaomin is joking." He went to the granary to get some beans and sorted them out for everyone, saying, "How about letting Teacher Luo live in the outer courtyard?"

"Teacher Luo won't agree." Zhu Xiaomin shook her head.

Luo Tingyuan was cautious not only for himself, but also for fear of implicating them.

Yang Aijun tried to say, "How about building another house in the backyard? Build it behind us, and the school will be on the other side."

That's an idea.

Zhu Xiaomin thought for a moment and said, "I'll go ask Mr. Luo what he thinks."

As he was speaking, Xia Laogen came with a group of people, carrying half a year's rations for the fourteen people, and Xie Chengzhi went in with his men.

Seeing that everyone had picked all the beans, Zhu Xiaomin put them away and went to the stove to cook porridge.

When the porridge started to boil, Xia Laogen came out with his men, looked into the pot, and said with a smile, "Oh, mung bean porridge?"

"Yes, it's hot and it's easy to get heatstroke." Zhu Xiaomin smiled.

Xia Laogen looked at the steamer on another pot, not knowing what was steaming in it. He sighed and shook his head: "It's you educated youth who are willing to spend it. The most we will have in the evening is wild vegetable soup." Then he led his people away.

Although they had more income last year, there was still the same amount of food and they had children to feed.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled, covered the pot and continued cooking, then returned to the table and said, "Xiaoya will be leaving in a few days. We agreed to eat dumplings. Xudong is going to the county tomorrow, so let's buy a few pounds of meat and bring it back."

"Eat now?" Miao Shiwen was surprised.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Why not eat now? Wait until they get familiar with us?"

Seems to be……

Song Zhian immediately said, "Tomorrow is our class. We will prepare whatever dishes we need."

You get excited when I mention eating.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Just as you said last time, we should pack a little of each, and the important thing is to chop out the meat filling."

"Sure, sure!" Song Zhian nodded immediately and rubbed his hands happily, "It would be great if more of us could go to college."

Others go to college, and you follow them to eat.

Several people couldn't help laughing out loud.

The porridge was cooked, and the buckwheat noodle and wild vegetable dumplings in the steamer were also ready. Zhu Xiaomin took a rice delivery bucket and filled it halfway and asked Luo Ye to carry it. She took two bowls, filled them with the buckwheat noodle and wild vegetable dumplings and the mixed cold dishes respectively, and went into the inner courtyard to the room of the Luo family father and son.

The newly arrived educated youth were still packing up the four dormitories in the inner courtyard. When they saw her passing by, several of them greeted her warmly, and their eyes fell on Luo Ye with curiosity.

Luo Ye was a little nervous. He walked on the outside of Zhu Xiaomin and tried his best to let her block him. However, he was afraid of spilling the porridge, so he didn't dare to run.

Hearing the greeting in the yard, Luo Tingyuan had already opened the door and whispered, "Just let Luo Ye bring it back."

"I just happened to have something to discuss with Teacher Luo." Zhu Xiaomin said, placing the food on the stove and briefly talking about what everyone had discussed earlier.

Luo Tingyuan looked at Luo Ye and said helplessly: "Luo Ye, what did you say?"

Luo Ye bit his lip, stood with his head down and said nothing.

Zhu Xiaomin touched his head, took the porridge, and said softly: "It's no wonder that Luo Ye was nervous. Even we were uncomfortable. It's just that we didn't expect so many people and didn't think carefully. If we built a house in the backyard, we should have done it earlier."

Luo Tingyuan was silent for a while, then shook his head: "No need, just find a chance to tell them our identities."
