The reborn little painting treasure had a great time in the 1960s

After packing up, several educated youths came to the team leader's house. Gu Zhonghua was holding Tang Hua and playing with her brothers at her aunt's place. When she saw a group of people entering the house, she looked at them curiously. There were four boys and three girls. The four boys and two girls looked relatively normal, but there was only one girl who was looking around with a look of disgust on her face.

Gu Weiqi took out a large sack from the room and placed it in the yard. Then he opened the sack, revealing seven bags of grain inside. He then asked everyone to come and get one.

"This is the food distributed by the commune. Take it home and eat it." Gu Weiqi said, "We have to wait until next summer to get new food. You know that you can't buy food even if you have money now, so you must eat frugally. You can figure out how to cook. There are pots and pans in the kitchen. If you want to cook on your own, you have to buy a pot yourself."

Having said that, Gu Weiqi paused and looked at everyone's faces. They all looked unhappy, but there was nothing they could do. If possible, they didn't want outsiders to come to the village.

Gu Weiqi continued, "As for firewood, we can't go up the mountain to chop firewood in winter. I have some firewood in reserve at home, and I can give some to you to use first. When the weather warms up in spring, you will have to go up the mountain to collect firewood by yourselves. Although there are many trees on the mountain, you can't just chop them casually. You need to pay attention to safety. In addition, there are many wild animals on the mountain. Remember not to go deep into the mountains. Our team will not be responsible for anything that happens."

As he spoke, he moved the divided firewood to the edge of the yard and asked the people to come and collect it.

Several male educated youth saw the pile of firewood, then looked at the female educated youth and asked, "What do you three female comrades think about cooking? Do you want to cook together?"

Lu Zishu said with disdain, "I can't cook."

"If you can't cook, then you can collect firewood and fetch water. We must take turns. There are two male educated youth here who can cook. The four of them will take turns cooking, and the three of us will be responsible for collecting firewood and fetching water."

"Can't you grown men be more modest? How can a female comrade like me carry water?"

"Lu Zhiqing, you can't cook, and you don't fetch water or firewood, so are you here to enjoy yourself?"

When Lu Zishu heard this, his face turned pale in an instant. "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have it. At most, when it's my turn to collect firewood and fetch water, I can just exchange things with others."

After hearing this, several male educated youth gave up, and then looked at the limited firewood and asked, "Captain, we need this firewood to cook and heat the kang every day, and it may not be enough after the New Year. Can you ask the villagers to exchange some for us? We also need wooden cabinets. Where can we exchange them in the village?"

"I'll take you to buy the cabinet. Wait for me to ask about firewood." After saying that, he went in and asked Gu Zhonghua. Because Gu Zhonghua did not work, he would pick up firewood whenever he had time after the autumn harvest every year. He only picked up firewood once a year and burned it for a year.

After a while, Gu Zhonghua returned to his home with Tang Hua and his men. He opened the storage room where the firewood was piled and asked them to move some out. He then said, "That's enough. These are enough for them to burn until after the New Year."

When Lu Zishu walked into the yard next to her, she found it extremely spacious and many times better than the educated youth center. She looked around and found that there was only a grandfather and grandson here, and the girl was chubby. It was obvious that the family was well off, and she couldn't help but feel moved.

Her eyes flickered, and she walked towards the old man without hesitation. When she got close to him, she smiled and said to him, "Grandpa, I see that you and your grandson are the only ones in your family! I also noticed that there is an empty room here. I wonder if I have the honor to move in. Of course, I won't live here for free. I will give you 5 yuan as rent every month."

After saying that, Lu Zishu looked at Gu Zhonghua confidently. She thought to herself that these country folk would definitely be impressed by this small amount of money. After all, they might have never seen so much money.

However, what happened next was beyond her expectations...

Yes, if it were any other villager, they might have agreed. But who is Gu Zhonghua? He is not short of money no matter who is short of money. He receives a pension of forty or fifty yuan every month.

He glanced around, and finally his eyes were on Lu Zishu, looking at her and said, "We grandparents like quietness, so it's better for the little girl not to have any ideas."

Lu Zishu felt a chill on his back when he was looked at by his sharp eyes. The villagers were also indignant. This little girl really didn't know her place. Who was Old Gu? He was the one who had the final say in the village. Since he dared to make such a brainless request, it seemed that the educated youth were just like that. The villagers looked at the educated youth with contempt and left one after another.

The other educated youth looked at the villagers who left with contempt on their faces. They were apparently so enthusiastic just now, but suddenly became like this. It seemed that this old man was no simple man. Alas, he offended the villagers as soon as he arrived. It was conceivable how difficult his future life would be. The other educated youth were speechless.

This is a square-faced educated youth who said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. Lu Zhiqing alone does not represent the entire educated youth compound. Thank you for the firewood. Do you want to exchange it for something else?"

Gu Zhonghua looked much better after hearing this. He looked at the other educated youths and said, "Just give me the firewood you picked up after the New Year."

At this time, Li Li, the educated young man, also said cheerfully, "Thank you, Grandpa. This little sister is so cute. I have never seen such a cute child. Here, sister will give you some candy." After that, she took out a few White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and gave them to Tang Hua.

Tang Hua glanced at her, took the candy and smiled.

In fact, she had just looked at the faces of these educated youth. Except for the one named Lu Zishu, the others were all pretty good and would have smooth sailing in the future.

Several people moved the firewood outside, and then followed the team leader to Gu San's home in the village. Several people bought cabinets and said that they would be delivered directly to the educated youth site later. After thanking the team leader, several people carried and pushed the firewood and prepared to go back.

Gu Weiqi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "As long as everyone thinks in the same direction and works together, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty smoothly! Especially the food problem, you come from the city, you must know that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food, so don't waste it at all! Although these grains cannot last until the summer harvest and grain distribution next year, when spring comes, you can pick some wild vegetables to eat with them, so that you can also hold on until the grain is distributed. It's not just you, the whole brigade is like this, and even the whole commune is like this. You have to starve if you don't have food in the city, but in the countryside, not to mention being able to eat enough, at least eating 60% to 70% full is no problem, but the premise is that you have to work hard and can't be lazy. If you are complained, I will send you back to the commune directly. Wait a minute, let Aunt Fat accompany you. She will teach you some basic skills necessary for living in the countryside."

The educated youth nodded, saying that the team leader was right and that as long as they worked harder they would not go hungry.

At this time, a fat aunt walked in. She looked at these young faces and muttered to herself: Can these tender-skinned city people endure the hardships of the countryside? But she didn't say anything and took the people back to the educated youth camp. Now that the snow was not heavy, they could turn the land first and then fetch water. In this way, several educated youth settled down in the village.

As time went by, the educated youth gradually adapted to the rural life. Except for Lu Zishu, the others got along well with the villagers. They used their knowledge and skills to talk to the villagers and learned some new skills from each other.
