Zhu Xiaomin raised her lips and said coldly: "Shi Zhiqing's good life is incomparable to ours." Not wanting to pay attention to her, he glanced back at Xie Chengzhi, met his eyes, blinked, and pulled Miao Shiwen back. Go inside.

Instead, Chen Xudong asked: "Shi Zhiqing, the team is sharing potatoes today. Did you get yours? Do you want to help?"

He belongs to the third group, and he was responsible for picking potatoes back from the brigade headquarters today. He searched several times, but no one from Shi Meijun was seen.

After Shi Meijun came here, although she had no intention of giving birth, after what happened to Qian Baldy, she had full work credit when she entered the brigade headquarters, whether she went or not.

Chen Xudong originally meant well, but he didn't know that Shi Meijun didn't appreciate it. He raised his chin and said, "Someone is sent from the brigade headquarters to wait for you. I won't starve to death?"

Chen Xudong suddenly felt that he was superfluous, shook his head, and went into the house.

Xie Chengzhi frowned and said to everyone: "There are no plans for the afternoon. Let's do your own activities." After saying this, he stopped Song Zhian and Yang Aijun and left the yard again.

In the room, Miao Shiwen took another notebook and was drawing grids on the edge of the kang, preparing to record the income and expenditure of the educated youth center in the new year.

Zhu Xiaomin watched from the side and saw her filling in the names of various grains in the grid, and suddenly said: "While the new grains are not divided, let's reorganize the granary."

"What?" Miao Shiwen didn't understand.

Zhu Xiaomin gestured: "Divide the room into two parts, the inside and the outside. The inside is bigger and is still used for storing food. It is best to set it up as a shelf to store more food and make it easier to access. There is only a small partition outside, and we can temporarily put it there. There is no need to put the dining furniture and cooked food in the yard.”

Miao Shiwen turned his head and thought: "You want to build a wall inside? But it's cold now, and it's not easy to build mud bricks."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "So I said we should rearrange it and leave this little space empty. When the weather gets warm, we can lay out the mud and build it from the outside." After that, he blinked again, "We want to expand the yard anyway."

To expand the yard, you need to dig out mud bricks, and it’s a matter of digging a few more blocks.

Do you really want to expand the yard?

Miao Shiwen's heart skipped a beat when he heard the plan she mentioned before. He thought about it and nodded: "Well, I will discuss it with Xie Chengzhi later. If there are no tasks tomorrow, I will sort it out immediately."

Listening to the discussion between the two, Zhang Qiaomei remained silent. At this time, she asked tentatively: "Are you... guarding against Nie Yifei?"

Zhu Xiaomin looked back at her, shook his head and said, "Not only that, except for Nie Yifei who would touch everyone's things at will, there is also a Shi educated youth who broke up the gang in the yard. The yard and stove are public, and we always put them there. The stuff isn’t very good either.”

Zhang Qiaomei bit her lip and stopped talking.

Wang Xiaoya heard her mention Nie Yifei and thought of the two eggs he ate at once. She nodded repeatedly and naturally agreed.

This matter was not a big deal in the first place, not to mention that at the end of the year, it was natural to tidy up the granary before distributing new grains. Xie Chengzhi naturally had no objection and arranged for a few male educated youths to help. He turned around to see Zhu Xiaomin and quietly said OK to her. gesture.

Zhu Xiaomin was overjoyed, knowing that he had arranged for a helper to go up the mountain to catch pheasants with him, and he was indescribably happy.

In the evening, Zhu Xiaomin carefully selected some newly brought potatoes and boiled them, peeled them and ground them into puree, then added some flour and kneaded them, then added chopped green onion to them, and carefully baked potato cakes one after another.

The aroma of potatoes mixed with onions spreads out in the courtyard of the educated youth spot, and the young people chatting and laughing and eating in a lively manner do not feel the cold weather at all.

Song Zhian turned his back to everyone and winked at Zhu Xiaomin: "We have a mission tomorrow and won't be back at noon. Can you bring us some cakes?"

Tomorrow he and Yang Aijun will follow Xie Chengzhi up the mountain.

Zhu Xiaomin understood, nodded and smiled: "It's just that in this weather, the cake will be cold, so you'd better put it in your clothes."

"Okay!" Song Zhian agreed hastily.

Yang Aijun scanned the yard and didn't see Nie Yifei. He glanced at Zhang Qiaomei, who was helping next to him, and said casually: "Let Nie Yifei's share be left alone. We will come back in the evening and rummage through it again."

Zhang Qiaomei pursed her lips and did not raise her head.

Xie Chengzhi pushed Yang Aijun on the head: "You are the only one who is smart." He dragged the two people away.

Early the next morning, everyone had breakfast. Xie Chengzhi took Song Zhian and Yang Aijun up the mountain with baskets on their backs. Xing Qingsheng and others helped Miao Shiwen organize the granary. When Wu Xulin saw it, he simply opened the warehouse door. After reorganizing the warehouse, Xiang Zhikuan led the remaining people to continue cleaning the yard. Zhu Xiaomin went out with Xie Chengzhi and others, and also went to the brigade headquarters.

There are no tasks today. There are only some cadres and Huang Xiaojuan and Xia Chunhua in the brigade headquarters.

Zhu Xiaomin asked the two people for the data compiled by dividing the potatoes yesterday, and made records herself to prepare the materials.

Xia Chunhua followed her over and said in a low voice: "There was another noise in the village yesterday. Aunt Qian found some of the Qian brothers and cried and talked, saying that she wanted to find a wife for Baldy Qian."

Zhu Xiaomin was surprised: "Telling a bald man a wife? How could anyone be willing to marry him?"

"No!" Xia Chunhua shrugged, "But Mrs. Qian said that she is old. What if she is gone, what will the bald man do? He will always find a wife to take care of him."

Zhu Xiaomin frowned: "Her plan is right, but how can any woman be willing?"

Xia Chunhua bumped into her and whispered: "But Third Uncle was so annoyed by her that he actually agreed and said he would find a solution for Qian Baldy."

The third uncle in her mouth was Qian Yuanfei.

Zhu Xiaomin looked shocked, but considering Qian Yuanfei's character, it was not difficult to believe it.

If no one is willing, he will force it. In recent years, relying on his status as director of the Revolutionary Committee, he has done many things to bully men and dominate women, overtly and covertly.

Even in my last life, after Lu Mingzheng joined the army and left, if he hadn't been protected by educated youth, he didn't know what would have happened.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaomin's heart tightened, she tugged on Xia Chunhua's sleeves, and whispered: "Since you heard this, please tell your little sisters to be careful when going out during this period."

Xia Chunhua was surprised: "You mean they will take advantage of people from this village? No, at least I will call him uncle."

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head: "We would rather be too suspicious than leave this loophole, otherwise there will be no place to cry if we regret it."

Thinking of Qian Baldy's appearance, Xia Chunhua couldn't help but shudder, nodded hurriedly, thought about it, and ran away in a hurry.

Zhu Xiaomin saw her leaving the brigade headquarters through the window, closed the door himself, thought about the instability, plugged it in again, and then went back to organize the materials.

I don't know how long it took, but when I looked up, I realized that it was almost noon. Zhu Xiaomin hurriedly packed up.
