This warehouse is a whole classroom. Although it has not been properly organized yet, the things were placed in it according to their categories and not pressed against each other.

Jiang Xiaochen easily found a few shovels from a pile of tools in the corner, and dragged them out one by one to Lu Mingzheng.

Lu Mingzheng took it and distributed it to a few people around him, then instructed him to help others.

In just a moment, everyone got his instructions. There was a little Luo Ye in the educated youth camp before, and everyone was used to having a boy around them. One would say, "Xiao Chen, pass me a brick." Another would say, "Xiao Chen, give me that shovel."

Jiang Xiaochen was ordered around in circles, but he ran very diligently.

Mrs. Jiang leaned over to look a few times, her eyes reddened, but she was relieved: "It seems that in the army, no one treats him as an outsider." It was because his parents were not around that he always hung out with the soldiers.

Zhu Xiaomin pursed her lips and smiled: "As long as you don't mind others ordering your son around."

Mrs. Jiang was helpless: "Wouldn't it be that I don't know what's good for me?"

At this moment, Miao Shiwen pulled Xie Jing and Lu Yi over and said helplessly: "These two kids are also trying to squeeze into the crowd. We can't stop them."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Just keep an eye on them, don't worry about this."

Miao Shiwen also laughed: "That's not what I meant." She restricted the two children to play only in the kitchen.

In addition to 20 kilograms of meat, Lu Mingzheng also brought back a lot of bones. Zhu Xiaomin and Mrs. Jiang worked together to remove the bones first, stewed them together in two pots, and chopped the rest of the meat into stuffing.

There were more people and more strength on that side, and the wall had been built to nearly three meters, slightly lower than the eaves of the house. Several people came down and began to select wood for the ceiling.

Lu Mingzheng had already dug a hole and erected five thick wooden stakes as pillars. After the pillars were fixed, cement was poured into the hole and left to solidify.

Song Zhian was the first to start work and the last to stop. Two large stoves and a chimney have been completed, and finally the top was smoothed and left there to wait for it to solidify.

Zhu Xiaomin had already wiped all the tables and chairs once more. Seeing that everyone had gradually stopped, he called everyone over to drink water and arranged for a few people to help with kneading the dough. He then went over to take a look and came back to say, "We'll use some bricks later to make the floor there better."

Lu Mingzheng nodded: "Let's finish the ceiling today, and Chengzhi and I can do the rest."

Xie Chengzhi smiled and said, "You bring the bricks here, I can do it alone."

Lu Mingzheng glanced at him and said nothing.

Why don't people show off?

Song Zhian asked excitedly, "Mingzheng, when can we buy the big pot? I think there is some wood left, so I will ask Qingsheng to make two big pot lids."

Xing Qingsheng: “…”

Do I look like a pot lid to you?

Before he could reply, Zhu Xiaomin said, "Are there any leftover wood? Let's see if we can make two little wooden horses, so that these two brats don't have to ride on the bench all day."

Xing Qingsheng had no choice but to nod: "I'll think about it."

Miao Shiwen said, "All the things in our warehouse are piled together now. We should make some shelves and rearrange them, and separate the grain."

Everyone was talking to each other, just like when they were in the educated youth center.

Song Zhian suddenly sniffed, his eyes lit up: "Xiaomin, have you cooked the meat?"

This boy has a really good nose.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "We have stewed some big bones. We will talk while chewing the bones. We will also make pies later."

Song Zhian let out a "wow" and looked straight into the kitchen.

Mrs. Jiang was helpless: "It's a pity that there are only two small stoves inside, so we can only make the soup last."

Song Zhian rubbed his hands: "It's good to have meat."

Yang Aijun was amused: "Why is the food in your National Tsing Hua University so bad? Zhian is still so greedy, why don't you come to our Peking University for dinner?"

Song Zhian waved his hand: "Although the food in our Tsinghua University is good, how can it compare to Xiaomin's cooking skills? We can't stew meat in a whole pot."

That's true!

Everyone nodded.

They started the discussion and everyone began to discuss the food in each school.

In fact, at that time, the country was still poor, and the meals in every school were not much different. Most of them were potatoes, cabbage and vermicelli with some meat added. You could taste the flavor, but you might not have meat.

As Song Zhian spoke, he began to look around the yard again, approached Zhu Xiaomin and whispered, "Can we raise rabbits here?"

Before, when I was in the educated youth camp, everyone relied on secretly raising rabbits to satisfy their hunger.

Zhu Xiaomin laughed: "Although we don't have anyone to take care of them here, we are afraid that we don't have time to cut grass to feed them."

Xing Qingsheng pressed his head and said, "Besides, where can we find rabbits here?"

Song Zhian said: "There are so many wastelands around, so I think there will be rabbits."

Xing Qingsheng said, "Then go catch it. If you catch it, we can just go cut grass after school."

Song Zhian scratched the back of his head and was really excited.

Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile: "I am planning to grow some vegetables in this yard. Although it can't compare with the educated youth camp, at least I don't have to buy everything."

With such a big yard, you can plant a lot.

Everyone nodded as they listened.

Song Zhian looked at her eagerly: "Can I come every week?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "You can come if you want. I'm just afraid that as time goes by, I'll have more new friends and I won't want to come all the time."

"How is that possible?" Song Zhian denied it immediately.

No matter how good the new friends are, how can they compare to the friendship they have had for so many years?

The others did the same and nodded repeatedly.

It’s been a week since school started, and I’ve made some new friends, but they can’t compare to the group of people in front of me.

Zhu Xiaomin was wrapping a pie in her hand, but she smiled meaningfully: "Of course, ordinary friends can't compare, but what if it's a girlfriend? If you have a girlfriend, you finally have a weekend, and you are willing to run here?"

Song Zhian blushed and whispered, "Where did your girlfriend come from?"

Zhu Xiaomin looked at him and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Mrs. Jiang said from inside: "The bones are cooked."

Zhu Xiaomin immediately said, "Then serve it out." She took a pie wrapped in a lid and walked in, calling out, "Xiaochen, come and help."

Jiang Xiaochen was sitting next to Lu Mingzheng just now, listening to everyone talking. The soldiers from different units were not talking about how their company was, how the training was, but also how their school was, how they studied, and how their previous educated youth camps were. This atmosphere felt somewhat familiar, yet somewhat strange, and quietly, he felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

Before, he wanted to be a soldier when he grew up. Now, he wants to be a soldier, go to college, and become an educated youth.

When he heard Zhu Xiaomin's call, he immediately followed her in and saw Mrs. Jiang counting the chopsticks and taking them out.

Behind her, Mrs. Jiang put some big bones in a basin and carried it out.

Lu Mingzheng took it and put it on Song Zhian's table first: "Give it to the greedy ghost first, otherwise he will cry."
