Chapter 6 Settlement
"Comrade, if you don't want your butt anymore, I'll cut it off and stew it to feed the dogs. How about that?" Wen Xi tilted his head and looked coldly at Mo Qiaolin who was making a fuss nearby.
It's amazing!
She wants to seduce a man, but he doesn't take the bait. Why take it out on her?
Mo Qiaolin was about to refute something when she felt a gaze like a cold arrow. She looked up and saw Jin Changfeng looking at her with a cold expression. She shrank her neck in fear and dared not say anything afterwards, nor did she dare to make any tricks.
Wen Xi soon became drowsy from the bumpy ride on the ox cart. Just as he was about to fall asleep, the ox cart finally arrived at the village office of the Fengshou Brigade.
Mo Qiaolin got off the ox cart, snorted coldly at Wen Xi and the other two, and left quickly. Wen Xi touched his nose and thought that this woman was really sick in the brain.
None of the three of them knew her, okay?
"This is the village office of Fengshou Brigade. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to the village office to find the village cadres. Of course, you can also go directly to the village cadres' homes." Captain Qian drove the ox cart to the village office and asked Song Lan and Zhou Bai to take down the luggage. Then he whispered to Jin Changfeng, "Changfeng, please send the two male educated youth to the educated youth point!"
"Let Jianguo take it, I have other things to do." Jin Changfeng refused. He was too lazy to go to the educated youth center. It was right for Wenxi and the other three not to live there.
"Jianguo, send these two young men to the educated youth camp," Captain Qian ordered. "Song Zhiqing, Zhou Zhiqing, go to the educated youth camp first and settle down there. Come to the village office this afternoon to get food."
After Zhao Jianguo took Song Lan and Zhou Bai away, Captain Qian drove a ox cart to take Wen Xi, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue directly to the village, and took them to see the two empty houses in the village that had no descendants.
After looking at the houses, Wenxi chose the empty yard at the foot of the last row of mountains.
It is convenient to go up the mountain here, and there is a well in the yard. The most important thing is that the courtyard wall is made of stones, which is stronger than the fences used in other people's homes. Another thing is that the neighbors on both sides are nice, so if there is a smell of meat wafting from the house in the future, no one will say anything.
Although she only stayed in the village for two years in her previous life, she still knew the personalities of a small number of people in the village.
They spent a hundred dollars to buy the house and went through the formalities. Then the house became the property of the three girls.
Afterwards, Captain Qian called a few people from the village to clean up the house. They could get work points, so everyone was very active. In less than half an hour, the house was cleaned inside and out, and even the weeds in the open space in the yard were removed.
Wen Xi handed out two candies to everyone, "Dear uncles, thank you for your hard work, otherwise we would not even have a place to rest tonight. These two candies are for everyone to sweeten their mouths, please don't think it's too little!"
Although they will be given some work points by the team for helping with the cleaning, they also want to thank everyone.
Everyone took the candy and stuffed it into their pockets, planning to take it home for their children to try.
"Wen Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing, Jiang Zhiqing, you settle down first. I will deliver your rations directly to you later." Captain Qian said, and left on the ox cart.
Captain Qian originally wanted them to go to the village office to pick it up themselves in the afternoon, but considering that they had a lot of things to do here and might not be able to leave, he thought about it and decided to send it to them.
It wasn't difficult for him to pull the ox cart, and Wen Zhiqing had given him so many steamed buns and White Rabbit milk candies, so he should help.
Jin Changfeng brought Wen Xi's luggage in, placed it on the floor of the main hall, and then left. Wen Xi didn't even have time to say thank you. She didn't know if she would meet him again in the future. She would feel really bad if she didn't thank him, after all, he had helped her a lot today.
Wen Xi also found it very strange. In her previous life, she had worked in the countryside here for two years, but she had never heard of Jin Changfeng and Zhao Jianguo, and she didn't know where these two people came from.
But since he is a soldier, he is certainly not a bad person.
When Wen Xi was about to pack her luggage, there was a knock on the door. Wen Xi hurried out and saw Zhao Zhiping from next door pushing a pile of furniture back on a wooden cart. "Wen Zhiqing, I only bought some of the furniture for you. The carpenter said he would send the rest to you after it was finished."
Just now, when Captain Qian asked everyone to clean up the house, he asked Zhao Zhiping to go to the carpenter's house to help them buy furniture. After all, there was no furniture in the house, and if they didn't buy furniture, they would have no place to sleep at night.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao." Wen Xi hurried over to help. After Zhao Zhiping parked the wooden cart, she quickly went forward to move the furniture down.
The current furniture includes three beds, mattresses, washbasins, bathtubs, and wooden barrels, as well as two cabinets, a washstand, a square dining table with four benches, and three long tables. Although there are still many things missing, Wenxi is content as long as he has a bed and can sleep at night.
After all the furniture was moved into the house, Wen Xi counted out the money according to the price of the furniture, handed it to Zhao Zhiping, gave him a handful of White Rabbit milk candies, and asked him to deliver the money to the carpenter's house.
Everyone quickly carried the beds back to the room, set them up and placed them in place, and then began to make their beds. Thinking that they had not signed in yet, Wen Xi hid behind the door and signed in.
Unexpectedly, he signed out a quilt weighing six kilograms, and it was a quilt that could be used directly after the quilt cover was sewn on it. The quilt cover had a strong sense of the times, and Wenxi didn't have to do anything.
Wen Xi was very happy and quickly made the bed, first putting the mattress on the bed board, then putting the two old quilts he brought on top, then putting the sheets on, and then taking out the signed quilt and putting it on the top to use as a blanket.
After the bed was made, Wen Xi lay down on it and buried her face in the soft and comfortable quilt. In her heart, she kept thanking Captain Qian and the people who helped clean the room and buy furniture.
Otherwise, if it were just the three of them, it would take who knows how long to finish cleaning.
I'm so tired after sitting on the train for so long. I can finally have a good rest tonight.
Wen Xi was afraid that she would fall asleep, so she lay on the bed for a while, then quickly got up and packed her things. The sooner she packed, the earlier she could go to bed. She was sure to sleep a good night.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were also packing their things in their respective rooms.
Shen Jiaojiao brought the pots, pans, and utensils she had stolen from home to the kitchen. Wen Xi put these things in a wooden basin, took it to the well, and used a wooden bucket to fetch water to wash them so that they could be used in the evening.
The main reason for choosing this place is because there is a well here, which makes it convenient to use water. You don’t have to fetch water yourself. When you make something delicious at home in the future, you don’t have to worry about others seeing you when you are cleaning it.
