Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiekuang stared at Su Zihui for a few seconds, but finally succumbed to Su Zihui's expectant eyes. Yan Jiekuang nodded silently, agreeing. Su Zihui saw Yan Jiekuang's reaction and said, "I will team up with Yan Jiekuang and Yan Zhiqing!"

After Wang Liqing and Xu Yun discussed it for a while, Wang Liqing said, "Xu Yun and I will start the fire ourselves."

After a few minutes, Gong Liang asked, "Are there any new educated youth who cook their own food?!" He paused for a few seconds and then continued, "If not, then this issue is over. You will send tomorrow's food to the kitchen in a while. Remember, put as much as you want in your lunch box. Also, don't forget to mark the lunch box to avoid taking the wrong food. We have two cellars in the educated youth camp, one next to the female educated youth dormitory and the other opposite the single room where Comrade Yan Jiekuang lives. They contain the winter storage vegetables left by our old educated youth. If you new educated youth want to eat, remember to tell Yao Zhiqing. Or you can exchange food with people in the village. In addition to the private plot in the backyard of the single room, there are also two private plots at the entrance of the gate. In addition, outside the wall, there is a private plot that belongs to all of us educated youth. Grow what you want to eat. On average, each of us has one mu of land."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Captain, I will give up the private plot outside the wall. A person's energy is limited. After I finish my farm work, I still have to take care of the private plot in the backyard. I don't have the energy to take care of the land elsewhere."

"Okay!" Gong Liang responded, looked at the new educated youth, and asked, "Are there any of you who are giving up?!"

Su Zihui followed Yan Jiekuang's steps and said, "I give up too."

Yao Yueting secretly looked back and forth between Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui. She felt that there was always some unclear relationship between Su Zihui and Yan Jiekuang. But what kind of relationship was it, she couldn't tell? !

Gong Liang waited for two or three minutes, and seeing that no one was giving up, he said, "Okay! When we divide the private plots tomorrow, I won't include you two in them." After that, Gong Liang changed the subject and continued, "You came at a very unfortunate time. Spring ploughing will begin in a month or so. Most of you have never done farm work at home. You will feel uncomfortable at first, but you will get used to it after a while. Although farm work may seem simple, it is actually full of knowledge. When you first start, you must do it within your ability. Don't try to be stubborn or you will hurt yourself. You still have two days to adjust and rest. If you need anything for the shift, try to buy it in these two days. For things like pots, pans, and utensils, you can go to the second to last store in the west end of the village and ask Uncle Tian Liufu to buy them for you. But it will take a little longer. He works in the department store in town. He comes back once a week. You can tell his father what you need and give some deposit. When the things are bought, he will deliver them directly to the educated youth point. Then we can pay more or less. You can go to our village to find Carpenter Wu to buy furniture. Although our village is not big, we can basically buy everything we need for life in our village."

Song Hean asked: "Captain, I heard that the countryside is very backward and has no electricity. Why is there electricity in our remote village?!"

Gong Liang replied, "There is a forest farm not far from here. A line was specially laid to supply electricity to the forest farm. This line just passes through our village. So we also have electricity here. However, the power supply is limited. There will be power outages at 8 o'clock every night. In addition, the voltage is relatively stable in spring and summer, but in autumn and winter, there will be power outages every two or three days. I have said everything I need to say. It's getting late. If you have any questions, ask them tomorrow. Everyone, please help pack up and go back to rest early.

There is strength in numbers. With everyone working together, the kitchen was quickly cleaned up and everyone went back to their rooms.

Back in his room, Yan Jiekuang turned on the light in the room. Under the yellow light, Yan Jiekuang began to pack up. Although it was spring, it was still very cold in the Northeast. Yan Jiekuang ran to the front yard and asked the old educated youth to borrow some firewood. When Yan Jiekuang walked back with the firewood, he saw Su Zihui standing at the door.

Yan Jiekuang asked curiously, "Why are you standing at the door instead of packing your things?!"

Su Zihui smiled and replied, "Of course I'm asking you for help. I saw a pot in your package. I want to borrow it from you."

"Wait! I'll get it for you!" Yan Jiekuang carried the firewood into the house, took out a pot and asked, "Is this pot ok?"

Su Zihui looked at the pot in Yan Jiekuang's hand, nodded heavily, and replied, "That's enough!" Then he asked a little embarrassedly, "Can you lend me some firewood?!"

Yan Jiekuang sighed, put the pot on the ground, then went back to the house to get some firewood and asked, "What else do you need? Can you tell me all at once?!"

Su Zihui assured him solemnly, "No more!" Then he suddenly said, "There are still matches."

Yan Jiekuang sighed heavily again, put the firewood in his hand into the pot, then took out a box of matches from his pocket and stuffed it into Su Zihui's hand. Then he took the pot and firewood into Su Zihui's room and asked, "Is there anything else?!"

Su Zihui smiled and replied: "No more!"

"There's really nothing I can do about you!" Yan Jiekuang returned to his room, took the pot and ran to the well, fetched a bucket of water, poured the water into the pot, then went back to the room to boil water.

When Yan Jiekuang cleaned up the room and prepared to make the bed, the lights went out. Yan Jiekuang took out a flashlight from the space. He turned on the flashlight and shone it on his watch. He checked the time and it was exactly eight o'clock.

Yan Jiekuang sighed, tucked the flashlight under his armpit, and used the light of the flashlight to make the bed.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Yan Jiekuang was awakened by the loudspeaker in the village. If there was nothing else to do in the village, the loudspeaker would only sound twice. One was to wake up the villagers in the morning, and the second was to remind them that it was time to go to work. Everyone could go out and wait for the assignment to be assigned to the fields.

After being woken up by the loud speaker, Yan Jiekuang could no longer fall asleep, so he simply got up from the bed. After a quick wash, Yan Jiekuang took out the buns he bought yesterday, put them in the lunch box, put the lunch box in the pot, and steamed it.

Unexpectedly, Su Zihui is also a foodie. The loud speaker in the village did not wake her up, but the smell of steamed buns in the pot woke her up. Su Zihui stretched, put on her clothes, and walked out of the house in a daze. When she saw Yan Jiekuang, she asked, "Brother Yan, what do you want to eat in the morning?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "The buns I bought yesterday."

"Oh! By the way! I still have half a box of braised pork left from yesterday. I'll get it for you."

Yan Jiekuang said, "There's no rush. Get yourself in shape first. You're a grown woman, how can you behave like this?!"

Su Zihui looked down at the clothes on her body, smiled and scratched her head while answering: "It really doesn't fit. I'll go change my clothes now." After that, Su Zihui turned and went into the house.
