Chapter 774: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (7)
Xiao Jing looked at Xu Yin: "Yin Yin, what do you think?"
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "If the three of us move here, will it be too crowded? How about I live here and tidy up the kang, so I can sleep alone."
“But this room is too damp.”
“It’ll be fine once the kang is heated.”
“The windows are all infested with insects and the air leaks.”
“It’s okay, just use it as a vent, and some moonlight can come in at night.”
…”
Finally, Xiao Jing and Huang Xiaohong chose to move in with Aunt Fang’s two daughters.
“Xu Yin, I’m sorry…”
Xiao Jing felt embarrassed.
She was the one who pulled Xu Yin to live together as a team before, but now she is the one who left Xu Yin alone in this room.
Xu Yin Asha waved her hand vigorously: "Hey! There's nothing to be sorry for. There's just a wall between us, shouldn't we still live together?"
To be honest, no matter how simple the environment of a single room is, it is better than a public house with no privacy at all.
Moreover, the conditions of this single room were much better than she had imagined. At least the earthen walls were quite strong. Although the wooden windows were a little leaky, it was a sunny day at the moment. When the windows were opened, the blocked sunlight poured in. It was windy, but it didn't seem to be felt. cold.
Xu Yin immediately expressed that she liked this place very much, making Aunt Fang smile from ear to ear.
Seeing the expressions of Xiao Jing and Huang Xiaohong just now, she was worried that these three lesbians disliked her home and were unwilling to live here. Just be willing! Just be willing!
“Sister, please wait for me for a while. I’ll send them over and help you clean up.” Aunt Fang said.
Xu Yin waved her hand: "No need, ma'am, I can do it myself."
Isn’t it just cleaning? Sister can handle it!
Waiting for Aunt Fang to lead Xiao Jing and the two to her daughter’s room, Xu Yin put on a mask and sleeves and cleaned the small small room thoroughly—
Brush away the cobwebs, plug up the rat holes, repair the leaky windows, tidy up the collapsed kang, and before putting away your luggage, use the vacuum robot to **** up the dust in every corner while no one is coming in. Clean.
“Not bad!” Xu Yin looked around with satisfaction, “Except for the corner of the kang that collapsed, everything else is fine!”
But she didn’t plan to trouble Uncle Fang to repair the kang. As long as it can be heated, if it is repaired as before - it can sleep three people in a squeeze, maybe Xiao Jing and the two will choose to move back.
After the chimney was cleared and the kang fire started, I found that this small room was quite warm and comfortable. Xiao Jing and Huang Xiaohong got to know the aunt’s two daughters for a while. After putting away their luggage, they came to see Xu Yin. What did they think? It’s only been half an hour at most. Why does it feel so different?
But if you look carefully, it seems that nothing has changed, it’s just cleaner than before.
“It’s just a little crowded,” Xiao Jing said. “Besides a kang, there’s nothing else, and there’s no place to put clothes.”
Huang Xiaohong was a little envious: "After cleaning up, it looks good like this! It's more spacious than ours when sleeping alone."
Hearing what she said, Xu Yin sounded an alarm in her heart: Sisters, you don’t want to switch with me, do you?
At this time, the assembly whistle sounded outside.
Xiao Jing: “There’s a meeting going on, right?”
Xu Yin stood up immediately: "Let's go then!"
Staying for one second longer will put the sister’s small single room in more danger.
Fu Rongxing called everyone together to discuss two things: one was to open up wasteland, and the other was to build houses.
"Spring plowing is about to begin. The task of our reclamation team is to open up fields suitable for farming before spring plowing, so that we can catch up with the pace of spring plowing. Otherwise, the villagers' fields have been planted with grain, and our land will still be barren... Also, don’t rush back to your place of residence after work every day, follow the uncles in the village who know how to build houses and build our temporary home as soon as possible.”
“Since the spring plowing is so urgent, can’t we wait until the spring plowing is over before building a house?” A team member raised his hand and asked.
Captain Fu shook his head: "There is no time after the spring plowing is over. There are more wastelands waiting for us to reclaim them. Other reclamation teams have also arrived at the reclamation points one after another, and each team is competing. Have you heard of Fenggu County? They just came. Thirty people, our team has almost twice as many people. If there are so many people and we can't defeat a team of thirty people, do you think our faces will be red? Think about the purpose of our coming here - we are here to reclaim the wasteland! I’m not here to enjoy the blessings! Everything is for the purpose of reclaiming wasteland. Building a house can only take a break from the busy work, and it is impossible to arrange time alone.”
…”
There was silence for a few seconds, and I was wailing in my heart: To put it lightly, it is tiring enough to open up wasteland, but you still have to build a house when you come back?
“Captain, where is the Fenggu Reclamation Team stationed? Is it also in Hewozitun?” someone asked.
"No, they are in another village, far away from here. When the time comes, we will open up wasteland in the northeast direction, and they will open up wasteland in the northwest direction. When the opened grain fields are connected, our task of clearing up wasteland will be completed."
At this point, Captain Fu clapped his hands and boosted morale: "Bring out the energy of our passionate young people and cheer me up! Next, we will divide into groups of ten. The first group will have the hardest work, which is to open the way. The pioneers are responsible for clearing up wasteland in the true sense. They need to loosen the hardened wasteland, which requires some strength; the second group uses rake to tidy up the plowed land; the third group picks up the stones and weeds in the soil, and when the work is done, The first and second groups picked the same place together. The rocks will be used to build the house and the weeds will be removed for compost. As for the place to build the house, I will discuss it with the liaison officer later and decide. There is no rush; the fourth group Responsible for fertilizing and watering; the fifth group is responsible for breeding and transplanting..."
As soon as Captain Fu finished explaining the group tasks, he heard a "hula" and most people stood in line. Almost all the young women chose the fifth group.
There were seventeen young women from the Yuanshan Reclamation Team, including Xu Yin. Except for Xu Yin who stood still, the other sixteen people all rushed to the fifth group the moment the captain finished speaking.
But there were only ten people in a group, and the six people at the end were secretly annoyed that they were a step too late, so they regretfully quit and settled for the third group.
The job of picking up rocks and weeds is barely okay, but wouldn’t there be one, two or two groups left after picking them up? The men will definitely have to do the plowing and preparation of the land. Can't we just let them pick it up along the way after the work is done? As for fertilizing and watering, Kao doesn't even consider it. Fertilizing is such a smelly job, let alone letting them do it, even looking at it from a distance is disgusting.
“Xu Yin! Choose quickly! Why are you so stupid!”
Xiao Jing was just happy that she ran fast and grabbed the fifth group. She looked up and found that Xu Yin was still standing there. She was so anxious that she winked at her to remind her.
