Happiness System
Chapter 200 The Ugly Girl Forced to Go to the Countryside 17
"Okay, your aunt and I will go and sit with you then. If you need any help, just ask. Your brother and the others can't eat all your fish for nothing!"
Seeing that the team leader agreed, Qin Xi also invited the village party secretary. She had already invited Dr. Liu a long time ago, so naturally she would not miss him.
They had already moved most of their stuff to the new house, leaving only two sets of clothes and some temporary items.
The other two new educated youth living in the same room were Wu Qingqing and Wang Yibing. They were also classmates and came from good families. If they had not been closely watched by the rival families, their families would not have sent them to the countryside.
They chose their roommates very carefully. Although Wen Hongshen parted ways with them after they came to Shitou Village, the two reflected on themselves and felt that they also had big problems. They got along well with each other before, and they also expressed their approval of Wen Hongshen's character.
There is another reason. They cannot live alone with Wen Hongshen, a boy. Since they choose to live together, they naturally have to pick a few more people. They need Wen Hongshen's help in selecting male roommates.
Wu Qingqing and Wang Yibing calmed down and adjusted their attitudes, but their brains were still working properly.
They did not ask for leave again and went to the fields, then selected two female educated youth whose personalities and family backgrounds were similar to theirs.
It is said that there cannot be two tigers in one mountain, unless one is male and the other is female.
Wu Qingqing and Wang Yibing don't think so. They believe that they should find comrades with similar conditions and interests so that they can live comfortably in the future.
As for housework, they have already done the work in the fields and they have never thought of avoiding it.
Naturally, they had the idea of finding a female educated youth with poor conditions to be a maid, and they wanted to have an easier life. But when they thought back to the lessons on humanity that their families had taught them before they went to the countryside, they still felt that it was better not to challenge human nature.
They can't see through their family and friends who they have known for more than ten years, so don't try to judge the character of people you have only known for a few days.
Then, she observed how the seven-member group got along with each other, and felt that doing some housework after work didn’t seem too tiring!
When they heard Huo Yueyao hint at Qin Xi's so-called great achievements in the past, they not only did not find it disgusting, but were instead given new ideas.
Although their family conditions are not bad, there are quite a few brothers and sisters in the family. Although their family said that they would arrange jobs for them as soon as possible and bring them back to the city.
But who knows what will happen in the future? Her younger brothers and sisters are not much older than her. If there are job opportunities, she doesn’t think her family will give them to the children who are not around and have an uncertain future instead of the lovely children around them.
Therefore, they should take advantage of the fact that they have just arrived in the countryside and their families still feel guilty about them, and complain more about their poverty and hardship to get more benefits.
Shitou Village looks pretty good at the moment. Although it is not rich, food is not in short supply. As long as you can afford to buy food, the villagers will not stare at you whether you go to work or not, and they will not think that you are stealing food from them.
To be honest, their family can support them with a few dozen yuan a year, so their life here is pretty good!
I don’t know what will happen in the future, but for now I have to let my family pay for their house construction, and then take a few hundred dollars, so that they can live an easy life in the next few years.
Wu Qingqing and Wang Yibing privately talked to the female educated youth they liked and felt pretty good about her. Although the other party had flaws in her character, they themselves were not very good people, so it would be fine if they had similar interests.
The two people they liked were from Shanghai. Their names were Jiang Yuemei and Huang Meiqi. They were also classmates. They had been working in the countryside for two years and had been supporting each other all the time.
Upon learning that their new group would not include other female educated youth, the two agreed to join without much thought.
Wen Hongshen also observed those old educated youth. Wu Qingqing and Wang Yibing were looking for male roommates with good conditions, so he asked Jin Zhe and Jing Yan to help him keep an eye out.
Unexpectedly, the two of them actually helped him pick out a few people, and then he screened them again and decided on Lu Jian, Tang Wu, and Qi Weiyan.
After the four men chatted for a while, they met up with the lesbians and successfully formed a courtyard.
Except for Wen Hongshen, everyone else's conditions are not bad, but the house is not entirely theirs, so there is really no need to waste it.
They each have their own room, 15 square meters is enough, and the main room is 20 square meters.
The house was built according to the plan of the group of seven, but they did not raise pigs or have a pigpen.
The new combined house was built next to Qin Xi and her family's house, saving the cost of a wall.
But there is a gap of five or six meters between the courtyard on the other side and the educated youth's courtyard. This width makes it impossible for other educated youth to build houses next to them. And this distance is also a safe distance so that the old educated youth will not be able to climb over the wall and peek into their lives.
It’s true that the people in the Youth League Institute are low-key and it seems that everyone has character flaws, but there are quite a few wealthy people hidden among them.
After knowing that Wen Hongshen's group would not add any more members, the remaining educated youth formed a small team of six people and went out to build a house.
The villagers who helped out were as exhausted as dogs during the busy farming season, but they were very happy because their income this month had caught up with that of the workers in the city!
"I heard that you have already arranged everything?" Wu Qingqing leaned against the door leisurely and ate melon seeds. When she saw Qin Xi coming back, she greeted her.
"Well, it's all set up. We're just waiting for the day to move the last few things over... Remember to sweep the floor later!"
The corner of Qin Xi's mouth twitched. Who would have thought that the person in front of her would be able to sob for a long time after being carsick half a month ago.
Qin Xi customized all the furniture in her house by drawing her own plans, and the two lazy guys, Jin Zhe and Jing Yan, simply copied them.
Li Jianshe and Cheng Bing have not yet received support from their families and dare not move for the time being. Like Zhao Xiaofen and the others, they only bought a wooden box to pack their clothes and valuables.
After the room was painted, the carpenter carried their cabinets over and installed them.
People from the next yard saw this and followed suit.
The carpenter laughed so hard that he couldn't see anything.
The neighboring hotel made their reservation late, so we definitely couldn't make it before they checked in.
Seeing Qin Xi taking the things and about to go out again, Wu Qingqing quickly called her: "Hey, are you going fishing? Leave two big ones for us!"
Qin Xi made an OK gesture. This was not the first time they had worked together.
Before, Wu Qingqing and her friends found a family to live with. That family’s cooking skills were average and they loved to take advantage of others. After they had a falling out with Huo Yueyao about buying a house, they asked the team leader to introduce them to a family.
Although that family was relatively poor and their house was shabby, they all paid attention to hygiene and cooked good meals.
Because they ate different food, people cooked separately for them. Every day, Wu Qingqing and Wang Yibing would go to the restaurant and take lunch boxes to pack their own meals and eat them.
Seeing that the family was nice, they had meat to eat, so they would buy fish with Qin Xi every two or three days.
They only ate the middle part of the fish, and gave the head and tail to the family they were sharing the fish with. The family did not take advantage of them and cut more fish on purpose. Instead, they tried their best to make the food taste the way they liked.
It’s a pity that they will have to learn to cook by themselves in the future!
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of moving. Several men went out of their way to borrow a cart to move the cabinets and pots and pans, and they just took the rest.
The tables and chairs were dragged over after dinner yesterday. As for the ceiling of the small kitchen and the simple bathroom, Uncle Chen took them down and moved them to the new house two days ago!
These two days they cooked lunch under the scorching sun, and lunch was divided into lunch boxes and taken back to the dormitory to eat.
It's that feeling of sadness yet happy anticipation.
The auspicious time was seven in the morning, and another time was eleven, but it was too hot on the eleventh day, and everyone was eager to move there.
Zhao Xiaofen and Zhou Pandi were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night and woke Qin Xi up at five o'clock.
All the things have been packed, and we just need to roll up the bedding when we get up. Then we can only sit on the doorstep and wait for the sunrise with nothing to do.
Stepping into the new house on time, Jin Zhe and Cheng Bing set off two strings of firecrackers together.
As soon as the sound of cannons stopped, Zhao Xiaofen and Zhou Pandi took out a two-pound bag of fruit candy and scattered it to the children waiting outside.
The same operation is carried out in the yard next door.
Apart from the fact that candy coupons are hard to get, this little ceremony actually doesn't cost much, it's just for the sake of joy.
Compared with moving into a new house, people here pay more attention to raising the beam, which is the most important step in building a house. The custom here is to hold a beam-raising banquet, and on the day of moving in, people just move in on a chosen day and set off firecrackers.
When Qin Xi was putting up the beams, in addition to setting off firecrackers and scattering candies, he also borrowed the team's big pot to cook two large pots of fish soup for everyone. From the master craftsman who helped build the house to the handyman, everyone was given a red envelope of fifty to ten cents.
It looks grand, but actually the fish was caught by Qin Xi, and the other things only cost more than ten yuan in total, so if the cost was shared among seven people, each person spent about two yuan.
The atmosphere in Stone Village is pretty good. After receiving the candies, the children said some nice words and went back home without going into the houses to make trouble.
After the ceremony, they put their things away, made a simple breakfast, and then the group locked the door and went up the mountain with their backpacks on their backs.
This time, Jin Zhe and Jing Yan also followed them up the mountain. They had watches to tell the time, and Qin Xi didn't plan to go too deep into the mountains, so there was no need to waste a day's time making money.
Jinzhe and Jingyan just went there to join in the fun, and also wanted to hunt some prey for their family.
Although the seven people gathered together, they each had their own purpose.
Qin Xi no longer needs to take medicine. She goes up the mountain often and quietly earns a sum that others dare not even think about.
So this time she was just there to accompany them. When she saw the fruits of average value, she asked Zhou Paner and Zhao Xiaofen to pick them. She picked and chose by herself and didn't pick much.
Jin Zhe and Jing Yan watched Qin Xi "not doing her job" and easily shot down the third pheasant, and saw helplessness and speechlessness in each other's eyes.
