60s Splendid Life

With everyone's help, it didn't take long to vacate the courtyard for the educated youths.Murong Zhende and Qi Yu moved to live in Lu Jin's yard, and they also moved some of their newly built furniture, but they didn't move some of the things that Lu Jin had here, and left them for others. Educated youths use it.

"Opposite is the kitchen. Uncle Rong, you can use all the pots and pans in the kitchen. After you move to our place, you might as well eat with us in the future, and it will save you from having to cook separately." Lu Jin invited people to live with them not without selfishness. He knew that these two were educated people. If they could find time to teach their children, the extra food he would give Think of it as teaching fees for three children.

Now that the boss is making such a fuss, he doesn't know how long the elementary school in their village can continue to have classes. In case the school is closed, there are still two high-level intellectuals in their family, so he doesn't have to worry about the children at home. taught.And in the future, they will live in the same courtyard, and they will be able to help and take care of each other.

Qi Yu glanced at Murong, their family, and asked with a smile: "Will this trouble you too much?"

"No, this way we can save some firewood." Now their family doesn't spend much money to buy firewood from outside. The labor class will also pick up some firewood from outside, and Lu Jin will go outside to chop a load of firewood when he has time, pull it back to the yard to dry, and store it as firewood after drying.

A wall of firewood was piled up outside the kitchen, covered with a tarp to keep it from getting wet in the rain.It is already the beginning of October in the lunar calendar, and they will have to burn the kang to sleep at night in half a month at most. Winter is the season that consumes the most firewood.

"The two outside are the bathroom and the toilet. You can come outside when you take a shower and go to the toilet." Lu Jin has always been more careful in the sanitary room. It used to be that the toilet and the bathroom in their house shared the same place. He thought it was not very good. Another place to take a bath is set up next to it, which will be more hygienic.

Murong Zhende and Qi Yu also found that the yard where Lu Jin and the others lived was more tidy than theirs, and they both felt that the move was right.

There are only three rooms in their courtyard. The largest room has been occupied by Lu Jin and his brothers. There are two small rooms on the left and right. One is occupied by their little girl. It's not very big, and it's full if you put a bed, a table and a cabinet in it.

Asking others to change the big room to someone else to live in a small room with them, Lu Jin said with some embarrassment: "The room we live in is relatively big, but there are a lot of things in the room. Uncle Qi, if you want to change it with us One room, we can clean it up and exchange it with you tomorrow."

"No, no, we can just live here." Qi Yu said hastily.They couldn't steal other people's big room as soon as they moved here, and he knew that Lu Jin's three brothers and grandpa lived in the same house together. There were only two of them, how could they want someone else's big room.

Murong Zhende also said that it is fine for them to live in the house here.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak polite words, Lu Jin didn't insist on changing the house. It's just that the house here has no kang and only beds. He was afraid that it would be very cold to sleep in winter, so he said: "Our winter here is still It's quite cold, and your house doesn't have a kang, so you may not be able to sleep at night. I think... I will go to the factory tomorrow and ask if I can bring us a cart of bricks and make a hole for you." He knew The business of their brick and tile factory is very good. At this time, I don't know if I can get a truckload of bricks.

If it doesn't work, he can ask Mrs. Qin again, it should be possible?

"Okay, I'll trouble you with this one. Tell me how much it costs." Murong Zhende didn't refuse. His own health is good, and he can still suffer from the cold in winter, but Qi Yu's body is not good. Sleeping in a fire pit is likely to make you sick from the cold.

The room on their side has been arranged, and a few educated youths in the yard next door have also allocated their rooms, but there is nothing on their side, and even the bed for sleeping has to be obtained by the captain, let alone other things. Some of the things used in life.

***

When Yu Wenchang came back from the outside with his three grandchildren, he was surprised to learn that two people had moved here, but after knowing what was going on, he also felt that two familiar neighbors who moved to their place were better than two people. People I don't know live here better, so I still welcome the arrival of the two neighbors.

"Uncle Qi, are you going to live with us in the future?" Chenchen went home and went to the next room to take a look. After seeing a lot of things in the room, she ran back and asked the uncle who was sitting in their room .

"Yes, do you like Uncle to live with you?" Qi Yu asked with a smile.

Chenchen tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I like it."

Two of the three kittens in the family were taken away, and the black one was kept. The kittens that have been raised for two months have now grown up, and they can already follow the mother cat to catch mice.Brothers Xiao Baoer and Chenchen ran to play with the two cats as soon as they got home. The big cat didn't like to move very much, lying on the mat and wagging its tail, while the kitten was playing with the two little owners.

Yu Wenchang, Murong Zhende and Qi Yu moved a stool and sat at the door of the room talking and chatting.

In the kitchen, Lu Jin is cooking noodles. After the water boils, spread out the cut noodles and stir them in with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from sticking together. There are two more people eating today, and they will cook more in the future Make enough to eat.After the water in the pot was drained, he poured half a spoonful of cold water into it. After pouring the cold water twice, the noodles in the pot also boiled.

"Brother, are the noodles cooked?"

"It's cooked, go wash your hands and help take it out."

Lu Jin scooped up the cooked noodles and separated them bowl by bowl. Drizzle a little sauce and a few drops of sesame oil on top of each bowl, then put a spoonful of shiitake mushroom meat sauce and a spoonful of dried radish and a handful of shallots. .

My sister went to wash her hands to help serve the noodles, and after a while, she brought two people to help.

Lu Jin, who was walking at the end, was holding a pot of hot porridge, and on top of the porridge were some leftover flower rolls that they had eaten in the morning, and put the things on the table.They pushed two tables together and spread them out across the room, and there was enough space for the seven of them.Lu Jin looked at the two new neighbors who just came to their house, mixed his bowl of noodles with chopsticks, and said, "Noodles have to be mixed like this to taste, Rong Bo, try salty or light, we eat at home The taste is always lighter, if the taste is not enough, I will add more sauce for you."

"Enough, it's fine." Qi Yu mixed the noodles with chopsticks and tasted one. The noodles in the mouth were chewy, and the sauce inside was also very fragrant. He fell in love with it after one bite.

Murong Zhende is from the north, so he prefers to eat pasta.

"It's delicious." Grandpa Yu never refuses anything made by his grandson, as long as it's something made by his grandson, he doesn't dislike anything.Of course, the granddaughter's cooking skills are not bad, just slightly inferior to that of the eldest grandson, but they are also much better than his own cooking skills over the years.

"I still have chili sauce here, do you want to add some?" Lu Jin likes to put a little chili sauce into the noodles and mix it. It tastes more delicious if it is a little spicy.Grandpa Yu was the first to say yes, and Murong Zhende also said to add more, and a spoon changed the hands of three people.

Qi Yu also wanted to eat some, but he also knew that his body was not suitable for eating peppers, so he held back.

Among the children, Chenchen and her elder sister can eat a little spicy food, but Xiao Baoer doesn't eat spicy food at all.

They have already had lunch here, and a group of educated youths in the yard next door are still crying about cooking and lighting a fire. Captain Lu asked them to give them all their food for this month. There is a fire cooking in the courtyard here, but some of them from the city can cook, and everyone can't cook, and they can't even light firewood.

In the end, Zhang Kai helped to light the fire, and made the lunch together with the other two educated youths. Although the taste was not very good, for them who were hungry for a long time, they devoured the food one by one. .

That day, everyone in the whole village knew how many people from the city had come to their village, and knew how many people from the city were going to the countryside to help them cultivate the land. Where do dolls in the city grow land?

"I heard that these young men are quite handsome!" Some of the families with daughters here have some other thoughts. When they hear that they are handsome young people from the city, if they can marry their daughters to the city Liren, then their daughters will not be allowed to go to the city to eat commercial food?

However, some people couldn't help pouring cold water on these people, "She came from the city, how could she like a country girl from your family?"

"Why don't you like it? Our girl is so hardworking and capable. If she gets married, she can do all the work of the family."

"Ah……"

All in all, the arrival of a few educated youths added a lot of topics for people in Lujia Village to talk about after dinner.

Captain Lu didn't let a group of educated youths idle to eat, and sent someone to lead a group of educated youths to work in the field early the next morning.A group of commune members in the village who got the news always used an excuse to visit some people from the city. There are a lot of women here, especially those with daughters at home. Like picking a son-in-law.

"Captain, do you think they look at us strangely?"

"Do your job and don't look around."

Zhang Kai, who came to communicate with the captain on the first day, was elected to be the captain of several educated youths.Zhang Kai has long noticed that people in this village look at them strangely. He is good-looking and tall, and there are a lot of eyes on him. He also noticed that a few girls were looking at them Secretly watching them laugh.

Zhang Kai: "..." Country girls are less reserved than their city girls.

But others just came to see them, and it didn't affect their work, so Zhang Kai couldn't say anything, but let the educated youths who came together work hard.
