Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 111 Spring Plowing 3
After he left, a group of people looked at me and I looked at you. Those two people had learned to be good. Although they still disliked them, they didn't say anything bad.

Lu Zhen took the initiative to say: "There are 12 of us in total, 9 boys and [-] girls. How about the three of you girls living in one room, and we boys will share the rest?"

This is already considered the best way to divide, so the others didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.

Pushing open the door, the layout inside is basically the same. They are all brick kangs, and the kangs are covered with mats made of reeds.

Each kang is very big, let alone three people, even five or six people can sleep well.

After they divided the house according to their personal wishes, Zhang Yu, Lu Zhen and another boy were divided together, and then he went in to pack his things. Because there were kang mats, there was no need to clean them like this, just wipe the mats.

After cleaning up and putting the quilt on, Lu Zhen touched his rumbling stomach, sighed and said, "I'm hungry, I don't know if I have something to eat tonight."

"Wait and see if anyone arranges it later. If not, I still have two pancakes here. Let's pad our stomachs a little bit." Zhang Yu took out two pieces of corn from the space under the cover of the burden. Cake, put in the lunch box.

"There are tortillas, Zhang Yuzhen is so kind, I also brought pickles, my mother fried them for me with lard, and we will share them together." Lu Zhen also took out a can full of pickles.

"Add me one, I have some things here, and we will share them together." The classmate took out something wrapped in oil paper from his bag.

Before they were ready to eat, the young man came over again and said: "I forgot to tell you just now, your production team is responsible for the food these few days, which is the family next door to you. When it's time to eat If it’s not enough, just go to their house to eat, we have already discussed, 18 food is put there, you can go there.”

After saying this, they left again, Zhang Yu and the others looked at each other, and then said: "Take back the things we brought, we will stay here for a few days this time, save it for later. "

"Okay." They all took back the things they brought, and after taking them back, they went to the next yard, which was similar to the yard where they lived now, except that there was one less room than where they lived now.

As soon as they entered, an old lady came out with her grandson, and said with a smile: "Are you the students who came today? The meal is ready, get ready to eat. I heard from the captain that you all brought My own lunch box, I don’t have so many bowls here, so I will put it in the lunch box for you.”

A group of people washed their hands and took out their lunch boxes to prepare the meal, but they didn't expect that when they were eating, the two people started working again, disgusted with the unclean pot and poor cooking.

"What is this? We come to help farmers and give us this kind of food."

After hearing their complaints, the old lady's face turned pale. What is wrong with her.

There was an accident in the village that year, her family lost two men, and her daughter-in-law remarried, leaving only her and her seven-year-old grandson, so the village assigned her the job of cooking this time. I want to subsidize her. After she takes over, she wants to do this thing well so that she can live up to the care given to them by the village.

She was afraid that this group of schoolchildren would not be used to the food here, and that the house was not clean. Before they came, she cleaned the house twice, and the pots and everything were polished so that they could be clean. She said she has never been so clean in her life, how could she be dirty?
Besides, being able to eat these things at this time is already a special care of the village. Even the best people in the village can't even eat these things most of the time. Why is it so bad?
"Mother, don't worry about them, they like to eat or not, we eat, we like to eat these." Lu Zhen scooped a spoonful of porridge from the lunch box, took a big gulp, and signaled that he likes to drink this porridge.

"Yeah, ma'am, we like these, but we can't even drink porridge at home." The two girls next to me couldn't stand it any longer, but they were telling the truth, the supply in the city is also insufficient now, Many families eat much worse than this, especially girls, and sometimes they may eat worse. Now they can eat this and still be full, which is considered very good.

"Yes, ma'am, these are already very good meals, and they are not eaten every day at home, and the meals can only be improved every now and then." Zhang Yu also comforted.

Seeing that a group of people didn't pay attention to them, instead they circled around an old lady, the two left angrily, not even ready to eat.

Seeing them leaving, the old lady wanted to stop them. After all, they were guests. Zhang Yu stopped the old lady from trying to stop them, and said, "It's better if they don't eat. If they don't eat, it just saves time." A meal, besides, they probably brought a lot of food, they can't be hungry, so don't worry about them."

This kind of thing happens again and again, and it cannot be repeated. Although they are here to help farmers, they have to work under their hands for so many days. They have to watch their faces and act, and they treat you politely. Can not be ignorant of flattery.

Just do a good job, there is no one like them who offends others by opening their mouths, and they are not representing themselves, but the students in their city. If the village thinks that all the students in their city are like this, they will It's wrong.

"Yeah, auntie, don't worry about them." Others agreed one after another. They didn't like those two people very much. I have to say that those two people were also very powerful. excuse me.

"Okay then, eat quickly, don't let it get cold later." Although the old lady was still a little worried, she was also a little annoyed, so she just sat down obediently and didn't think about calling them anymore.

After eating, Zhang Yu and the others cleaned up their lunch boxes, and thought about cleaning the pot, but the old lady stopped them, "No, I can do it, and it doesn't take much work. I can do it in two or three strokes." It's over, go back and rest quickly, you still have to work tomorrow morning."

After hearing what she said, the group hurried back to pack up their things and prepare to go to bed. At first they couldn't fall asleep, so Lu Zhen whispered, "Zhang Yu, what job do you think we will be assigned tomorrow, can you do it?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a difficult job. After all, we haven't done it before, and we don't know how to do those more difficult jobs. Maybe it will delay their time."
