The problem of watering was solved, and the members of the commune were much more relaxed than before. They no longer had to go up and down the mountain to carry water. Everyone was very happy.

The cave dwellings dug for the educated youths could live in. After work in the afternoon, Du Ruo started packing up after dinner at Wang's house.

Du Ruo has three particularly large boxes, which are heavy.

After Zhou Zhen and Xu Wei moved their luggage to the educated youth point, they rushed to Du Ruo's place to help.

Zhang Nana and Li Qiuju also came.

Captain Wang asked his two sons to help.

After moving three large wooden boxes, there are not many things left.

The girls all took a little, which was not heavy, that is, washbasins, footbaths, enamel jars and so on.

Although many people's washbasins and footbaths are in the same basin, Du Ruo still couldn't accept it, so he took two basins out of the space.

Before leaving, Aunt Guo took Du Ruo's hand and said reluctantly, "When I'm free, I often come to visit my aunt."

"Hey," Du Ruo nodded, "If you don't tell me, I will visit you often."

"Well," Aunt Guo took out an egg from her pocket and stuffed it into Du Ruo's hand, "Auntie doesn't have any good things at home, so you take this egg and eat it when you're hungry at night."

Du Ruo hurriedly refused, "This is impossible."

But Aunt Guo said forcefully, "There's nothing you can't do, you just take what Auntie gave you."

"You have lived in our house for the past few days, and the children have not eaten less of your food."

"Yes, sister Du Ruo, take what Mom gave you," Cui Chunxi also said aside.

"Aunt." Liuya hugged Du Ruo's thigh, raised her face, her eyes were red, and tears were streaming down her face, "Where are you going?"

"Liuya won't let you go!"

Seeing that Liu Ya was crying, Du Ruo hurriedly squatted down, wiped the tears from the corners of the little girl's eyes with her sleeve, and comforted the little girl gently,

"Liu Ya is good," Du Ruo hugged the little girl into his arms, "Auntie is not leaving, she just lives in another place, not far from here, Liu Ya can visit Auntie to play."

"Really?" Liu Ya held her mouth shut, sobbing nonstop.

Du Ruo nodded vigorously, "Really!"

"That's great," the little girl smiled through tears.

A group of people sent Du Ruo to the educated youth spot, which is in the center of the village, not far from the village committee, and only 200 meters away from Wang's house.

When we arrived at the educated youth spot, everyone else was there.

Seeing Du Ruo coming, they all stepped forward to help pack their things.

Du Ruo sent the Wang family away, followed Zhang Nana and Li Qiuju into the cave to pack things.

There are a total of six cave dwellings in the educated youth spot, two for boys, two for girls, and one for the kitchen and utility room.

There are about 20 educated youths in the educated youth spot.

Du Ruo and the five girls who came this time live in the newly dug cave dwelling.

The cave was dug quite deep, Du Ruo measured it with his footsteps, it was about ten meters deep, and there was a big kang at the entrance, four or five meters long, enough to accommodate the five of them.

It's just that there is nothing else in the cave except the kang.

Du Ruo thought in his heart, let the villagers make a table and chairs when he is free.

Zhang Nana and Li Qiuju naturally slept next to Du Ruo, Zhang Yuzhu was a little shy, and smiled shyly when she saw people, she seemed like a very easy-going girl.

Wang Shuhui has many minds and is a bit complicated, but everyone is safe and sound.

It was getting late and the cave was dark. In order to pack things, Du Ruo turned on the flashlight.

Du Ruo spread out his bedding first.

It was only eight o'clock at this time, it was still early, and Du Ruo hadn't opened the three big wooden boxes that Shen Yu gave her in Wang's house.

At this moment, Du Ruo suddenly wanted to see what Shen Yu had prepared for her?
Du Ruo walked to the three big wooden boxes, opened the first box first, and saw two neatly stacked thick quilts in army green, which looked very warm.

In addition to the two thick quilts, there are bed sheets, pillows, pillow covers, and two large army green cotton coats.

The corners of Du Ruo's mouth raised slightly;

"ah?"

When Du Ruo turned her head, she happened to see Wang Shuhui looking at the things in the wooden box with a look of surprise.

"They are all good things in the army," Wang Shuhui looked at Du Ruo enviously, "Du Ruo, someone in your family is a soldier?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Du Ruo to answer, he said to himself again, "I can bring you so many new bedding and bed sheets. I think your family's rank in the army is not low!"

"And those two military coats, ordinary soldiers don't have such good things."

Facing Wang Shuhui's probing eyes, Du Ruo only said indifferently, "No one in my family is a soldier. My wife prepared this for me."

"Your date?" Wang Shuhui frowned, "How old are you? You have a date at such a young age?"

Du Ruo frowned, "What's none of your business?"

Seeing that Du Ruo's tone was not very nice, Wang Shuhui hurriedly said, "I just care about you."

Du Ruo's tone was slightly cold, "No need!"

Du Ruo was about to open the second wooden box, and saw Wang Shuhui standing beside her, looking interested.

Du Ruo immediately turned around and stopped opening it!
"Hey," Wang Shuhui called to Du Ruo, "you still have two big boxes unopened?"

Du Ruo didn't look back, "I don't want to open it anymore."

Wang Shuhui pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Stingy!"

Zhang Nana and Li Qiuju also happened to have laid out the bedding. Seeing Du Ruo's uneasy expression, they asked concerned, "What's wrong?"

"Is that the one?" Zhang Nana glanced at Wang Shuhui, leaned closer to Du Ruo's ear, and whispered, "Wang Shuhui said something nasty?"

Li Qiuju also looked at Du Ruo with concern.

Du Ruo shook his head, "It's okay."

There is still work to be done when I get up early tomorrow. After the few people spread the mattresses, they quickly went to sleep.

The next day, before dawn, Du Ruo woke up.

After waking up and unable to sleep, Du Ruo got up lightly, picked up her washbasin and went out to wash up.

There is a kitchen in the educated youth spot. When Du Ruo went in, he found that someone had already woken up.

Chen Min, who was bending over to cook, heard movement behind him, and saw Du Ruo when he turned around.

Du Ruo hurriedly greeted with a smile, "Hello!"

Chen Min stood up and nodded to Du Ruo, "Hi, are you an educated youth who just came here? I remember your name is Du Ruo?"

Du Ruo nodded, "Yes."

Chen Min was wearing a red calico shirt, with dark skin, bright eyes, and a simple and kind temperament.

"Hello, my name is Chen Min, and I came here a few years earlier than you."

Seeing Du Ruo holding the washbasin, Chen Min said, "Are you going to wash your face?" After speaking, he pointed to the outside of the cave, "The water tank is outside."

"There is not much water in it. I will ask the male educated youth to pick up two buckets later."

"Thank you," Du Ruo thanked, went outside, opened the lid and saw that there was indeed not much water left in the water tank, but it was still enough for washing.

After Du Ruo washed his face, brushed his teeth, and put the washbasin in the house, it was already dawn.

When Du Ruo entered the kitchen, Chen Min was cooking.

Du Ruo asked with a smile, "Can I help you?"

Chen Min was also polite, pointing to the cucumber on the table, "Wash the cucumber clean."

Du Ruo responded, and went out to wash with a basin of cucumbers. Unfortunately, there was not much water in the water tank.

Du Ruo put the basin on the ground, took the two wooden buckets next to the water tank, and went to fetch water.

When he came back with two buckets of water, Du Ruo poured the water from the buckets into the tank and washed the cucumbers.

Seeing that Chen Min was busy, Du Ruo stood by the table, patted the cucumber and cut it into small pieces;

Seasoning only salt, garlic.

Du Ruo went back to the cave, and returned to the kitchen with a pot of soy sauce and a pot of vinegar.

Chen Min saw it and said in surprise, "Huh? You also brought soy sauce and vinegar?"

Du Ruo smiled and nodded, "I'm afraid I don't have this, so I brought some."

"Oh," Chen Min said happily, "then we are lucky."

After Du Ruo and Chen Min finished cooking, the educated youths at the educated youth order got up one after another.

After getting up, a male educated youth saw that the water tank was not full, so he went to fetch water again with the bucket.

While waiting for dinner, Chen Min took the initiative to introduce Du Ruo and the others,

"Let's be educated youth, I'm an early comer, since 66," Chen Min smiled at everyone, "I've always been in charge of the female educated youth," he said, looking at Du Ruo and the others, "If you have anything to do in the future, You can come to me."

Du Ruo and the others nodded one after another, expressing their understanding.

Chen Min added, "Let's order the educated youths. The female educated youths are responsible for cooking and washing dishes, and the male educated youths are responsible for fetching water and sweeping the yard."

"Cooking usually takes turns." Chen Min looked at Du Ruo and the others with a smile, "Let's arrange the order later."

Du Ruo and the others said one after another, "Good!"

After the female educated youth finished speaking, on the male educated youth's side, a tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood up and introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Su Qihang!"

"I have been in Niujiawan for two years. I have always been in charge of the male educated youths in the educated youth spot. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me."

The male educated youth had no objection either.

After everyone introduced themselves again, they began to eat.
