The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Fang Qing immediately said, "Isn't there a backyard? Let him live there."

Zhu Xiaomin said, "There is only one warehouse in the backyard, right next to your two female educated youth dormitories. The adobe walls are not soundproof. Are you sure?"

"I..." Fang Qing's expression changed.

"How about this!" Miao Shiwen seized the opportunity to come up with a plan, "We'll put up a fence between you and them, separating the two sides so they don't bother each other."

"Then...then they won't come?" Fang Qing asked.

Zhu Xiaomin said slowly: "They eat with us, and they water the vegetables we grow. Fortunately, you have to work during the day, and they also water the vegetables during the day, so you can avoid them completely."

It seems like this is the only way to go.

Shi Zhiguo looked at his other companions again and could only nod.

Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Xie Chengzhi asked again, "Is there anything else?"

It means, there is nothing else to do, you can go now.

Several people looked at each other and stood up to leave. When they reached the door, they remembered that Cao Liqing turned around and said, "We came here to borrow firewood and water."

Xie Chengzhi pointed to the bucket next to the water tank and said, "You can carry two buckets over. I'll take you to get the firewood."

Shi Zhiguo called out to Yin Jiandong, went over and filled two buckets of water, and the two of them carried one bucket in each.

Xie Chengzhi took Fang Qing to the wall between the inner and outer courtyards and pointed to the place where the firewood was stored.

Cao Liqing thanked him and said, "We will return it tomorrow after we collect some firewood." She carried some firewood and went back.

Xie Chengzhi didn't care anymore and turned back.

In the outer courtyard, Miao Shiwen was expressing her thoughts: "Little Luo Ye doesn't want to pass by their door either. There is a small path in the vegetable garden. We can make it new and let them walk this way. It will be the same."

Thinking of Luo Ye's nervousness before, everyone nodded. Zhu Xiaomin looked back and said, "It's just right that the chicken coop has been moved away, or a door has been opened there to separate them."

That is, two doors sandwich the big stove in the middle.

Everyone listened and nodded.

Just after they were talking for a while, someone else came out with food in the teacup. One person exchanged it for salt, and another exchanged it for vegetables. They came and went many times.

Miao Shiwen sent them away one by one, shaking his head helplessly: "It seems that they started the fire alone."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "The food we brought is different, and we are all afraid of losing out."

After the matter was settled, there was no way to have classes in the evening, so after dinner, everyone divided the work. Xing Qingsheng and a few others continued to make the fence outside the chicken coop, while the rest of the people went to prepare materials for the fence in the yard.

Song Zhian was somewhat dissatisfied and whispered, "Why does the yard we built seem to belong to them now?"

Zhu Xiaomin laughed and said, "It's good this way. Apart from them passing by us when they come in and out, we don't bother each other."

Song Zhian thought about it, nodded in agreement, and then said, "We should leave a bigger yard for Mr. Luo and his family, so that little Luo Ye can run around freely."

Zhu Xiaomin responded with a smile.

But Fang Qing came out again after just a while. Seeing that Xie Chengzhi was not there, she asked, "Where is Captain Xie?"

Zhu Xiaomin pointed to the backyard: "There."

Fang Qing turned around and went out again.

After a while, Xie Chengzhi came back and said, "Theoretically, it's possible, but the production task is heavy now, so those things can only be done when we are free."

Fang Qing was dissatisfied: "We have to build a stove anyway."

Xie Chengzhi said: "Building a stove is a necessity in life, but building a wall is not." After saying that, he went straight back to the outer courtyard.

Zhu Xiaomin looked around and saw that Fang Qing didn't follow, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Chengzhi said, "Hey, they said a fence wouldn't work and asked for a wall to separate them. I said we needed to remove the mud bricks. Now the production task is tight, so I said they also needed mud bricks to build the stove."

Are they trying to get others to make bricks for building stoves by building walls?

Zhu Xiaomin felt a headache and rubbed her forehead and shook her head.

Miao Shiwen sighed: "Xiaomin, you should go back to the city as soon as possible."

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "I'm leaving, but you guys are still here, aren't you?" She said with some seriousness, "To be honest, after I leave, you still have to supervise these kids' studies. It's good to open the courtyard later, so you can ask Teacher Luo to help you with the questions."

She is still waiting to lead the team to a big score, so she can't relax.

Miao Shiwen laughed: "We said you were crazy. We have all graduated from high school, but you still force us to do homework all day long."

Zhu Xiaomin tilted her head and asked, "Let's not talk about others first. I'm just asking you, have you mastered all the knowledge in the high school textbooks?"

of course not!

Miao Shiwen could only shake his head.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "In previous years, after work, we had nothing to do. We could only chat and play cards. Wasn't it boring? People were scattered and had no goals. They just muddled through life. Since the class started, there are fewer troublemakers, and the people in the educated youth camp are more united, right?"

Xie Chengzhi smiled: "Now that you put it that way, it's true."

If you think about it carefully, you will find that it is more interesting to read books and do exercises after work than to kill time by doing other things.

In this era, studying can also be dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be labeled. If you use textbooks issued by the Ministry of Education, then you will be absolutely safe.

The next day, none of the newly arrived educated youth went to the threshing ground to drive the tractor. Chen Xudong did not wait for them. He loaded the things and rushed to the county, unloaded the goods, loaded the residue cakes from the previous day, and went to the grocery store to buy some meat.

In the evening, when everyone came back from work, the group teaching the children had already opened a door on the other side of the wall, cleared a path in the vegetable garden in the inner courtyard, and even washed and cut several kinds of vegetables, and chopped the meat.

So, the few male educated youth who could cook helped to make dumplings, and those who couldn't cook went to the inner courtyard to separate the Luo father and son from the newly arrived educated youth.

While the people in the inner courtyard were still discussing whether to share the meal, the white dumplings in the outer courtyard had already been put into the pot.

The excitement in the outer courtyard finally attracted the attention of the inner courtyard. Some people wanted to come over to see it, but some saw Luo Ye's figure. Thinking of the capitalist-roader father and son and the people from the outer courtyard, they hesitated. Finally, someone found an excuse to come over to borrow something. Seeing the dumplings, they were surprised and asked about it. Miao Shiwen just smiled and said, "Dumplings on the bus, noodles on the bus. Xiaoya will go to college soon, so we will give her a farewell party in advance."

Some people go to college and they eat dumplings as a form of practice.

The educated youth who came to visit was drooling with greed, but no one allowed him to sit down and eat, and he was too embarrassed to sit down and eat, so he had to go back.

Finally, by mid-August, Wang Xiaoya could no longer delay, so she packed her luggage and left, looking back every few steps.

The educated youth went down the mountain on the pretext of carrying some fruits and sent them to the threshing ground. They talked a lot and repeatedly reminded the children to write letters.

Before getting on the bus, Wang Xiaoya finally couldn't hold back her tears and sobbed while hugging Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen: "I'm leaving, but don't forget me. When I graduate, I'll come back and start a factory with you."
