Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

If the cleaning is not done properly, it is easy for horses to get sick by accidentally eating the food. People often say that diseases come from the mouth, and this is also true for animals.

It took the two male educated youth an hour to clean up, but Huhedawa had already finished cleaning the trough and trough in half an hour.

I spent the remaining half hour watching the two male educated youth working.

Although the male educated youth came from ethnic minorities in the border areas, they lived in the city and had never been exposed to such filth.

At first, he covered his nose while cleaning, but later he got used to the smell and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the female educated youth, so he put his hands down. However, his cleaning movements were still very slow.

Huhedawa still found problems when checking their work, and it took another half an hour to completely clean the stable.

"The stables are cleaned once a day, and the place needs to be thoroughly cleaned once a week."

"Wait for my uncle to arrange your daily tasks, and then you can choose your cleaning partner. I will assign someone to work with the remaining educated youth."

After saying this, he tied the horses back to the stable, looked at the sun above his head and estimated that it was noon, so he took the educated youth to carry bamboo baskets to pick grass to feed the horses.

After feeding the horses, he took the educated youth to get each person's share of ten pounds of meat. After distributing the meat, he let the educated youth go home.

The morning's work was not an easy one, especially for the two male educated youth who did the most work.

This is still considered easy. The thought of having to live like this from now on makes me feel desperate.

Just like the long gown that Kong Yiji couldn't take off, educated people like them thought they would have a good life if they went to the countryside.

I thought I could escape the chaos in the city and become a village official here, but reality always gives you a hard time.

A male educated youth lowered his head and said, "Are we going to the countryside just to be farmers?"

Another male educated youth said: "Aren't educated youth encouraged to go to the countryside to build the countryside? I thought we were here to teach the farmers how to do things, but now we have become the ones being arranged."

"Forget it. It's good to be here. We can eat jerky, the work is not tiring, and we get a monthly subsidy. We can't sleep well if we live in the city."

Thinking of the tense situation in the city, everyone was really afraid of encountering soldiers coming to their doorsteps when they were sleeping at night.

"That's right. I don't know how long we can stay here before we can be transferred back."

……

Chengcheng did not interrupt the conversation of the educated youth. She knew the final outcome but she could not say anything.

Saying it will only dampen everyone's expectations. One day these boys and girls will understand that it is not so easy to go back once they come here.

After this topic, let's consider more practical issues: what to eat for lunch and how to eat? !

The most common food on hand were naan and meat. Without these two, there was nothing else to eat, and the rest was not enough for everyone.

They are now in serious shortage of staple food after going to the countryside. They have neither rice, flour, grain nor oil. After discussion, they decided to go to the clan leader to exchange their naan for a meal temporarily.

By the way, I didn't ask you this morning, can I take half a day off to go to the city?

When they arrived, Aunt Huhe was preparing to cook.

For example, now that the weather is getting colder, they eat three or four meals on the grassland. When the weather is warmer, it is common to eat two meals.

Seeing them coming over with food, he asked, "Why are you here instead of going home to cook lunch?"

"We want to exchange these naan for a meal, but we don't have any seasoning in our yurt and don't know how to cook."

"Okay, come in and wait. I'll cook now. Are you okay with Mongolian dumplings for lunch?"

"Of course we can. We are not picky about food."

"Okay, then let's eat this. You guys go in and wait for a moment. It will be ready in a moment."

"Hey, hey."

The educated youth put down the naan in their hands and repeated what they had said to Uncle Huhe when they entered the yurt and saw him. Uncle Huhe asked them to sit down.

This time, the educated youth talked about the things they were in short supply of. They had no pots, pans, or utensils, nor any grain, oil, soy sauce or vinegar.

They wanted to take a day off to go to the city to purchase goods. Uncle Huhe heard that it was true, as it would be difficult for them without these things.

But the herdsmen living here have very few of these things. They have plenty of furs to keep warm in winter, but they don't buy many of these small items in daily life.

He agreed that the educated youth could go out to purchase goods tomorrow, and they could temporarily have lunch and dinner at his place.

The generosity of the local people made the educated youth feel a little embarrassed, as they had to eat and take other people's food for free for three meals.

It's not good not to thank others. The so-called reciprocity is the way to maintain long-term relationships.

On the way back after having a free meal, the educated youth were still saying that they would buy some things for the clan leader and give them to him tomorrow.

……

After the rest, Huhe came again in the afternoon, this time bringing the educated youth to build residences for the female educated youth.

There is no custom of men and women living together here, so how can they let the educated youth set such a precedent?

When building a house on the grass, the first thing you need to choose is a flat and dry site, not too close to a water source.

The main building materials are felt, ropes and wooden poles, which are stored on the grassland and are not difficult to find.

Huhedawa took the educated youth to collect some of these, and also asked the female educated youth about choosing a location. They believed that the location should not be too close to the male educated youth, nor too far away. They considered that if they lived too far away, the two female educated youth would have no way to ask for help if something happened.

He gave several suggestions on where to build the structure, and the female educated youth decided where to live.

Once the site is chosen, construction of the house begins.

First, use wooden poles to build a prototype like other houses on the grassland, secure it with ropes, then spread the felt on the frame structure and secure it with ropes.

Space has been reserved for doors and windows, but these materials are out of stock now, so we can only wait until tomorrow to purchase them in the city.

But Hu and Dawa also told the female educated youth the approximate size of the door, and Chengcheng took note of it.

Seeing that he had finished explaining things and was about to do something else, Cheng Cheng hurriedly pulled his robe and asked, "Will you go to the city tomorrow?"

My uncle will not let him be responsible for sending the educated youth tomorrow. Usually, there are special herdsmen who pull them there with horse-drawn carts, and it should be the same tomorrow.

"I won't go. I have other work to do. Uncle will arrange for someone else to take you."

"Oh, so that's the case. What if I forget what you told me?" Cheng Cheng said this in a gentle voice that sounded a little lost.

"It's okay. If my uncle arranges someone, I will go and tell him to remind you."

Knowing that the chances of him going are slim, and considering his personality, continuing to encourage him to do so is unlikely, and it might even cause him to lose his temper.

Toya's failed case in the morning was there. Although he had never gotten angry at himself, it was obvious that in such a short period of time, she had not yet become someone whose temper he could tolerate.
