Reborn in the 1970s, picking up a man to raise a son

Zhang Xiaorui, who stayed in the Educated Youth Home, felt a pity that there was no one to take advantage of.

Li Dahe drove an ox cart and arrived in front of a courtyard in just a few minutes.

When you walk into the gate, you see three tile-roofed houses standing side by side.

The house has experienced years of wind and rain erosion, and the outside is somewhat dilapidated, but the inside of the house is still well preserved.

There is a well in the yard. Although it has not been used for a long time, it can be used with a little money to tidy it up.

The yard is very large, square and regular, and there are some carved patterns on the roof. The open space in front of the house can be opened directly to grow some vegetables.

The courtyard wall of the house was built very high, about two meters high. For safety reasons, Su Xinlan decided to go to the mountain to find some more thorny branches to strengthen the wall.

What makes Su Xinlan most satisfied is probably the toilet. It is actually made of bricks and tiles, clean and tidy, and there is a cover on the top, so there is no need to worry about rain or snow.

The kitchen connected to the east room is quite spacious, and the stove design is also very interesting. There is a small stove next to the big stove. If you guessed correctly, it should be specially used for stew.

At that time, you only need to install two pots, buy some seasoning, rice flour and oil, and you can cook normally.

There are two large earthen beds in the east and west rooms, but they are too old and have become somewhat dilapidated.

Su Xinlan planned to build two new earthen kangs, one on each side of the main room.

"Captain, I plan to clean the well again, and build two houses with two earthen beds in the east and west. Could you please help me find someone?"

"Is Su Zhiqing settled?"

"Yes, this house is fine."

"Okay, I won't charge you more for this house. I'll charge you one yuan a month. As for the other things, I'll help you find someone who is honest and reliable and won't charge you more. .”

Su Xinlan directly gave Li Dahe one year's rent, which was twelve yuan.

Li Dahe gave Su Xinlan a few more words before driving the bullock cart back home.

Su Xinlan was tired and thirsty. Seeing that no one was there, she hurriedly took out two eggs from the space and ate them.

About forty minutes later, Li Dahe led six people through the door. "Su Zhiqing, these people are all quick at work. If you have any requests, you can ask them."

Su Xinlan couldn't help it. She made her request clear to the six people and stopped caring.

Six people divided the work, two people were responsible for cleaning the wells, and four people were responsible for digging and re-laying the kang, including digging the furnace.

A lot of complete adobe bricks were dismantled from the two adobe kangs, which was enough to build another kang.

Just another line would require buying some more adobe blocks.

Su Xinlan happily settled with one of them for the remaining adobe bricks in his house.

Of course, Su Xinlan herself was not idle either. She first put down the package and asked the village chief where she should go to collect the food.

He said hello and rushed to the accountant's house.

When I arrived at the accountant's house, I saw several other educated youths waiting to receive food.

The accountant followed the above instructions and distributed forty catties of grain to each educated youth.

The forty kilograms of food are basically cornmeal, sweet potatoes and other whole grains. Although they don’t look good, they can satisfy hunger.

In this day and age, food is a rare commodity and should not be wasted.

After saying hello to several other educated youths traveling with her, Su Xinlan directly picked up the grain bag with one hand.

Just after taking two steps, I heard the shameless Zhang Xiaorui say again, "Oh, Su Zhiqing, you are really amazing, you can actually carry such a kind of food. Look at the fate between us, on the train Along the way, I went to the countryside in the same place. With these friendships, can you also help me carry some food?"

After talking a lot, he finally got to the point, "No, we have never known each other."

Su Xinlan didn't give Zhang Xiaorui any face and refused completely.

After saying that, he quickly left the accountant's house while carrying the food.

Only Zhang Xiaorui was left stomping her feet in anger. Sooner or later, this damn woman would look good to her.

Su Xinlan carried the food and returned to the house she rented.

When I entered the door, I found that the two men who cleaned the well had already cleaned the well.

In fact, it is simple. Just clean up the dirt in the well, lift it to the top of the well with an earthen basket, and then dig down to the depth of a shovel, and the water will come out.

When the water in the well slowly rises, wash it twice before it can be used normally.

After the two of them finished working on the well, they ran inside to help build the kang.

The work speed was greatly accelerated, and before evening, the two earthen kangs and the furnace had been dug.

All the big work was done, and all that was left was the washing of the water well and the two iron walls for keeping dust off the hearth.

Now that it's not too cold this month, Su Xinlan plans to explore it when she goes to the county in a few days.

After settling the wages of the six people and sending Li Dahe and his party away, Su Xinlan closed the heavy wooden door and returned to the house.

Now she is lacking everything here and needs to buy more.

Such as cabinets for clothes, tables and stools for eating, small cabinets for dishes, small vats for rice noodles, brooms for sweeping the floor, dustpans, and wood knives for chopping firewood, and carrying firewood. Backpacks and so on.

Su Xinlan had lived in this village for many years in her previous life. She knew where to go to buy the furniture and other things that were used daily in her home.

However, in order not to arouse others' suspicion, Su Xinlan decided to pretend she didn't know and ask someone for directions before going shopping.

Whatever she wanted to do, Su Xinlan grabbed a handful of fruit candies from the space and put them in her pocket.

I locked the door again, but I accidentally broke my hand on the lock when I locked the door.

It was a really bad start. He was injured before he even finished his work.

Fortunately, the wound was not very big. Su Xinlan simply squeezed the blood from the wound, then took out the wound medicine from the space and sprinkled it on the wound.

This broken lock looks like it needs to be replaced.

Su Xinlan endured the unhappiness in her heart, walked up to a villager, and started asking who sold the furniture.

This old man was kind-hearted and took Su Xinlan all the way to the destination.

Su Xinlan knew that this house was Tian Laowei'er's house.

Su Xinlan thanked the old man, took out a few candies from her pocket and stuffed them into the old man's hand.

The old man waved his hands away, but was forced back by Su Xinlan.

Separating from the old man, Su Xinlan knocked on the door of Tian Laowei'er's house.

After two calls, a voice came from the courtyard, "Who is it? Come in, the door is unlocked."

The person who spoke was Tian Laowei'er's wife, Aunt Laowei'er.

Su Xinlan pushed open the wooden door and faced a face that was not too young. "Hello, I am a new educated youth. Just call me Xiao Su. I heard that you have furniture at home and I want to buy a few pieces. Come back. For carrying clothes.”

Aunt Lao Wei'er shouted at the top of her lungs, "Old Wei'er, come on, someone is coming to buy furniture, please help with the total."

When Lao Wei, who was smoking a dry cigarette in the house, heard his mother-in-law's roar, he directly dropped the sparkling ashes on his fingers, which made him tremble because of the heat.

I cursed in my heart, "Damn it, these stupid old ladies scared him to death."
