Chapter 3

The educated youth camp of the Shili brigade was originally a brick house of the landlord’s family. After the confiscation, it was distributed to an old poor peasant. After the old man died, no one dared to live in it.

When the educated youth went to the countryside, the yard was distributed to them, so that the villagers would not have to help them build houses.

A total of eight old educated youths lived here, three women and five men.

Over the years, batches of educated youths have gone to the countryside, but there are very few places to return to the city. Some educated youths have already married in the local area. If not, there would be more educated youths.

Fortunately, the landlord’s house has many large houses. There are four rooms and a kitchen in the front yard, a well and a vegetable field in the backyard, and a separate room in the northeast corner next to the back wall. It is said that it is the residence of the landlord’s nanny, a place the size of a palm. It was used as firewood by the educated youths.

There are many male educated youths, occupying two larger rooms on the west side, and the female educated youth side is just...

Looking at the hut they were allocated, the three of Lin Nianhe looked at each other in blank dismay.

Except for the kang in this room, the three of them had to turn sideways if they wanted to stand at the same time.

The kang is not big, it is estimated to be only 1.2 meters wide, and it is a bit cramped to sleep two people, let alone three.

"How can you sleep like this!" Wen Lan frowned, patted Wang Shumei's thigh and said, "This big fart place is too crowded for luggage."

After chatting all the way to Tiananmen Square, Wen Lan had already unilaterally reconciled with Lin Nianhe, one bite at a time, hearing that Lin Nianhe was very hungry and wanted to eat a box of leeks.

Wang Shumei was often slapped on the thigh by Wen Lan along the way, and now she was hurt more and more. She wanted to hide from the pain, but she stuck to the wall as soon as she moved, rubbing the wall dust all over her body.

Grinning her teeth, Wang Shumei rubbed her legs, and suggested: "Why don't you go to the old educated youth's room to see? You can't really sleep on top of each other."

The three of them had no other choice, so they went to another room of the female educated youth.

The three of them stood by the window and saw that there was no need to speak.

This room was bigger than theirs, but there were three bunks next to each other, so it was impossible to add another person.

Wen Lan was so worried that she caught off guard and slapped Wang Shumei again: "Damn it!"

Wang Shumei: "..."

Lin Nianhe thought for a while, turned around and went out to find the captain.

"Uncle Captain."

Li Dahe was talking to Sun Guanghui, an old educated youth. He shuddered when he heard this voice, turned his head stiffly, looked at Lin Nianhe and asked, "What, what's wrong?"

Lin Nianhe looked at him wonderingly, wondering if he was pretending too much and frightened the little old man.

She raised a naive smile: "Uncle, we can't sleep three people in that room, or..."

She glanced at the backyard, cleared her throat, with a devotion expression that if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell: "Why don't I live in the firewood house in the backyard."

She has too many secrets, living by herself is not only convenient for keeping secrets, but also can be a small affair.

The key is that she is not afraid.

She has a lot of things for self-defense, if there is any rogue who won't open his eyes to touch her door... She can only try to make sure that he will be completely dead.

Li Dahe was stunned for a moment, entered the room and glanced at the small kang that was as big as a palm, sucking his teeth, his brows twisted into twists.

It's true that this house can't accommodate three people, but let the little boy live in the woodshed by himself...

Facing Li Dahe's suspicious gaze, Lin Nianhe rubbed his nose, and said Nuonuo: "I live by myself at home. I don't sleep well, and I can kick people. I kicked and dislocated my mother's arm when I was three years old. She's been talking about it for years."

Wen Lan and Wang Shumei looked at each other, and together they picked up Lin Nianhe's luggage roll, and they helped her move when Li Dahe gave an order.

Lin Nianhe rolled his eyes at the two of them.

The friendship of the partners is really vulnerable.

Li Dahe took two puffs of cigarettes, lost two hairs and didn't think of a better way, so he could only nod in agreement.

He went out to greet Sun Guanghui: "Sun Zhiqing, take a few male educated youths to move out the firewood from the backyard house, and tidy it up for Lin Zhiqing to live in."

Sun Guanghui was a little confused, scratched his head and said, "Isn't it right for lesbians to live in a firewood house? I'll go."

Li Dahe was so angry with his elm head that he rolled his eyes: "What's the use of you going? This room still can't sleep three people?"

It was only then that Sun Guanghui realized that the key to the problem was not who lived in the firewood houses, but that there were not enough dormitories for the female educated youths.

He answered naively, turned around and greeted a few old educated youths to go to work.

There wasn't much firewood, and the five of them moved out after three or four trips. Lin Nianhe went in to take a look, and his eyes lit up.

Although the house was cramped and cramped, and there was a lot of rubbish in a mess, there was a small kang for one person, with a window without glass in the inner and outer rooms, and an empty stove in the outer room.

Li Dahe looked at the room, took another puff of cigarette, and said, "I'll write you a note. In the afternoon, you go to the commune to get some glass back. Put it on for you."

He was really afraid that the little boy would be picked up by wolves halfway.

"Thank you, Uncle Captain! You are the best captain I have ever seen!" Lin Nianhe smiled.

She was telling the truth, after all, she had only met Li Dahe and the captain.

Li Dahe gave her a blank look: "Broken bottle mouth is good."

After finishing speaking, the little old man walked out with his hands behind his back, and said to the three female educated youths watching: "Educated youth Xiaolin is young, so you should take care of him at ordinary times. If something happens, it is your educated youth's responsibility."

The educated youths were all afraid of this unsmiling captain, no matter what they thought in their hearts, their faces became more serious than the other, and they agreed very readily.

But after Li Dahe left, only Wen Lan and Wang Shumei came to help clean up the hut.

An old educated youth named Wang Xue came around and said that she still had to cook and would come to help when she was done.

"Hezi, are you afraid of living alone?" Wen Lan asked while rubbing the kang.

Lin Nianhe sprinkled water to sweep the floor, and replied without raising his head, "Why don't you come and sleep with me?"

Wen Lan's hands froze, and said weakly: "This kang can't sleep two people."

Lin Nianhe: "Then you trade with me?"

Wang Shumei's eyes tightened: "Why don't I give you two mousetrap?"

Everything went smoothly according to the initial plan formulated by Lin Nianhe, and she was completely disgusted.

The house is only [-] to [-] square meters including the kitchen in the outhouse. Although it is dirty, it is easy to clean up.It took only half an hour for three people to clean it from inside to outside.

Before Lin Nianhe had time to thank her, Wen Lan and Wang Shumei ran away, and after a while, they brought her luggage over.

Such enthusiasm made Lin Nianhe have to suspect that the two of them were afraid of repenting.

Suddenly I don't want to thank them anymore.

Wen Lan was laughing silly, Wang Shumei looked up at the sky, and no one spoke.

Lin Nianhe snorted softly, took out a few white rabbit toffees that Mama Lin brought her from her bag, and stuffed three candies into each of her hands: "One size counts for one size, thank you for helping me clean up, otherwise I'd be in trouble today." Gotta spend cleaning up the house."

The big white rabbit toffee in this era is very precious, and only those who love their children are willing to buy a few pieces, and the supply and marketing cooperatives in some small places are out of stock at all.

Wen Lan and Wang Shumei swallowed, but they both shook their heads and declined.

One said "you're welcome to do a little work", and the other said "keep the good things for yourself".

Lin Nianhe's heart was warm, and he smiled and stuffed candy into their pockets, pretending to be angry and said: "You guys are like this, I am embarrassed to ask you for help in the future."

Wen Lan and Wang Shumei couldn't resist her and accepted the toffee.

The two looked at each other again, and secretly swore in their hearts that they must pay more attention to this silly girl in the future, and give the white rabbit six yuan if she does some work, and she is afraid that she will be bullied to death when she goes out.

Lin Nianhe started to pack his luggage, and Wen Lan and Wang Shumei also went back to pack their own things.

After closing the door, Lin Nianhe sat on the edge of the kang and rested for a while before taking out a piece of greased paper, poured out half a bag of white rabbit toffee and wrapped it, took out a notebook and wrote two lines, then stuffed the candy and paper into an army green In the satchel, went out.

The female educated youths in the front yard were still cooking, and several male educated youths, under the leadership of Sun Guanghui, were building a shed to stack firewood, planning to use it as a temporary firewood house.

Seeing Lin Nianhe carrying his bag, Sun Guanghui asked casually, "Comrade Lin is going out?"

"Yes." Lin Nianhe nodded, "Comrade Sun, where is the captain's uncle's house?"

After a pause, she felt a few probing eyes from the kitchen, and said loudly: "Uncle Captain said that his son will go to the commune to collect glass in the afternoon. I would like to ask if you can send me a telegram to go home."

Sun Guanghui was honest and honest. Hearing this, he immediately took her out and pointed her in the direction of the captain's house before saying, "We are taking a break at noon. If you can't find it, just knock on the door and ask."

"Thank you, Comrade Sun." Lin Nianhe thanked him and asked again, "By the way, I want to ask, how do we cook our meals? Can I borrow the kitchen?"

"You just came, we can cook today's meal, and later you will pay back the food borrowed by the management team." Sun Guanghui added, "The team leader just said that you have a few afternoons to rest, and you will go to work tomorrow."

"I see there is a small kitchen in my place, can I cook by myself?" Lin Nianhe asked what he wanted to ask the most.

Her rice noodles can't be put on the bright side at all, but if you eat it by yourself, it's not a big problem.

Although eight lifetimes can't finish it.

Sun Guanghui was stunned, a little uncertain: "You don't plan to join forces?"

"Well," Lin Nianhe smiled, "I like spicy food, and I'm picky."

Sun Guanghui asked naively: "If you don't eat with us, what will happen to the food?"

Now each family grows their own vegetables. The vegetable patch in the backyard of the educated youths is grown by their old educated youths, and they usually take turns to clean up.

In this era when every ration is life, even if there is no shortage of vegetables in the countryside, it is impossible to give them to others casually.

Lin Nianhe was not short of food, but she still couldn't bring it out. Faced with Sun Guanghui's concern, she could only say: "I eat less, and a small piece of land in front of the door is enough."

Once again, Sun Guanghui realized belatedly that Zhiqing Lin wanted to go out alone.

He nodded: "Okay, then I'll tell them later, I don't have much life these days, if you want to open the land, I will help you."

Sun Guanghui has been in the countryside for three years, and he can do all kinds of work. He is a big brother in the educated youth spot.

Although he is simple and honest, he is very measured. We all do the work of the educated youth together, but he will not take the initiative to pull others to do this kind of personal help.

"Thank you Comrade Sun."

Lin Nianhe bid farewell to Sun Guanghui, and set foot on the path of the Shili Brigade with his little hands shaken.

Sun Guanghui looked at her back and smiled wryly.

I don't know what to worry about now, but when I go to do farm work tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll be wilted.

He turned back and just nailed two wooden stakes when he heard a clear male voice from the door:
"Comrade, is Lin Nianhe here?"
