Gu Xiyue honestly covered her own half of the earthen platform with quilts.
Seeing her laying down the quilt directly, the female educated youth sighed.
After all, I can't bear it.
"There are people in the production team who weave mats. When work starts tomorrow, go and ask Sister-in-law Liu. Her family specializes in weaving mats.
The weaving skills are very good. I bought a mat and brought it back.
Spread it on top of this and put the bedding on it to make it cleaner.
Since you are from the city, you must be very clean. "
Only then did Gu Xiyue realize that there was a layer of mat underneath the mattress, which indeed isolated the dirt.
Gu Xiyue nodded.
She is really honest now.
The female educated youth saw her nodding without saying anything, and went directly to the stove to bring over the cornmeal paste she had made.
There was a small table in the room, and the cornmeal batter, hot Erhe noodle steamed buns, and shredded pickles were brought over.
Gu Xiyue couldn't help but swallow when she saw the hot food. She hadn't eaten for two whole days from yesterday to now, and now she was very hungry.
She tried hard to look away. If she were at home, she would eat these rough foods without hesitation.
Their family has always eaten fine grains and white flour.
But now this simple meal actually makes me want to scratch my head.
Her stomach growled loudly, and the female educated youth who was eating beside her felt a little unable to eat after hearing the sound.
I had to raise my head and say.
"Have you got your food back? If you have, you can use my firewood to cook today."
I'm so hungry. My stomach is growling like a drum. How can I have the nerve to eat? "
Gu Xiyue was stunned for a moment.
"Who will receive the rations?"
Only now did she realize that she needed food to eat.
"I said you don't know anything when you come here?
The production team leader didn't tell you that you went to him to get rations today.
The newly arrived educated youth will definitely not be able to share the food. The food for the first half year was provided by the production team.
It shouldn't be much, probably only seventy or eighty pounds per person.
The rest will be figured out by oneself until next autumn harvest. "
The female educated youth had no choice but to give her a detailed explanation. It seemed that the female educated youth in front of her was really a young lady. She didn't know anything and didn't ask any questions.
Gu Xiyue nodded and apologized sincerely this time.
After coming out of the underground house and knocking on the door of the house next door, Gu was stunned for a moment when he saw her from the door.
"Why, haven't you settled in yet?"
"No, brother has settled down. The female educated youth next to me told me that we have to find the production team leader to get food rations.
It seems that the production team first gave us dozens of kilograms of rations to survive until next autumn's harvest. "
Gu Congwen nodded,
"I just heard the male educated youth next door say, okay. Let's go together."
The three people tidied up and inquired for a long time before they found out where the production captain's home was.
When I arrived at the production team leader's house, I discovered that the production team leader's family also lived in a diwozi, so they didn't feel aggrieved at all by living in a diwozi, and they didn't take any advantage.
It's just that the production team leader's family has a large population, so his nest is obviously a little bigger than theirs.
After knocking on the door for a long time, the production team leader opened the door. When he saw it was the three of them, he immediately understood. After all, he was deliberately stuck today and did not receive rations for them.
Mainly because these three people are so annoying, especially the girl.
What he said was not human. If he didn't clean them up and give them some power, he wouldn't be called the production captain.
This is the way to deal with the educated youth in the city.
No matter how capable the educated youth is, they will starve her for two days and immediately become obedient.
Seeing that Gu Congwen's face softened somewhat.
The main reason is that among the three people, Gu Congwen is the most honest, and he works honestly. He doesn't usually stand out or say anything irritating.
"Xiao Gu, what are you doing?"
"Captain, let's get some rations."
"Rations?
Xiao Gu, you don’t have to ask me this. If you came here with a large group of educated youths, the county had a batch of grain at that time, but everyone has already received it.
The county didn't tell you what to do, so I don't have any food on hand for you. "
The production captain refused directly, half-seriously.
If you don't make things difficult for them, they really think they are vegetarians.
Gu Congwen hurriedly smiled and said,
"Captain, you see we are here and we are not familiar with the place. Please help us think of a solution.
We can't really go hungry. We haven't eaten for two days. If this continues, someone will die. "
"Captain, my sister did go a little too far today, and I sincerely apologize to you here.
Your Excellency doesn't remember the faults of villains. The Prime Minister's belly can support a boat. Don't argue with a little girl like her. "
Gu Congwen lowered his arrogant head and apologized for the first time to someone he thought was a weakling.
It was also the first time that I realized that they were talented intellectuals in the city.
There is nothing in this dirt.
"Xiao Gu, it's really not me who is making things difficult for you. The food for us educated youths is approved by the county.
If the county doesn't give it to you, it means our team will give it to you.
Everyone has already distributed the grain for the autumn harvest. Where can I get food for you now?
Even if I want to do it, I have to go to my superiors tomorrow to ask for instructions and get approval.
You'd better be patient tonight. "
The production captain closed the door.
This simply shuts them out.
Gu Xiyue cried softly this time,
"Brother, I regret it. I want to go home. I never want to come to this place again."
Gu Congwen gritted his teeth and said.
"What's the use of regretting?
Going home doesn't mean you can go home if you want.
You have to stay here for one year no matter what. Have you forgotten what our parents said?
They said that if we choose to go to the countryside, we must be prepared, because going to the countryside is no joke.
We have to work here for at least one year before they can transfer us back.
So you stop thinking about it, and no matter how hard it is, you have to grit your teeth and endure it. "
Huo Jianbin said while rubbing his hungry belly.
"It's not all your fault. If you hadn't offended the production captain, wouldn't they have given us food?
When I came here, I thought of myself as a young lady. "
The three of them walked back to Diwozi with heavy steps. When they arrived at the door of Diwozi, they found a figure standing at the door.
When Huo Jianbin saw it was Huo Chengchengan, he rushed forward with excitement.
"Brother, I knew you couldn't ignore me!
Brother, what should I do? We have no food now, and the production captain said we have to apply tomorrow. "
Huo Chengan thrust one of the two lunch boxes into Huo Jianbin's hand, and handed the other to Gu Xiyue.
"This is a meal cooked by my mother-in-law. I asked it to be delivered to you. You are also juniors after all.
Everyone was having a bad time yesterday, but my mother-in-law still thinks about you. She may not have anything to eat today. "
"Be more careful in what you say and do in the future."
Huo Chengan turned around and left, touching the warm temperature of the lunch box.
Gu Xiyue's heart was filled with jealousy and hatred. Why should Shen An'an suffer this when her own mother was by her side to take care of her.
