This stepmother is a bit crazy

Chapter 5 Settle Down
Jiang Linran glared at Qi Yanzhen and was about to speak.

Zhang Dalan patted her gently, and in a moderate voice, told Jiang Zhishu what happened on the train in detail.

"As long as it's okay, I'll tell the village chief when I get back. You can rest for two days before going to work."

"Thank you Jiang Zhishu."

Jiang Linran, who didn't expect this surprise, said politely with a hoarse voice.

"Why? She hasn't lost her arms or legs, so why should she rest for two days?"

Qi Yanzhen's eyes bulged when she saw that Jiang Zhishu was criticizing Jiang Linran for fake work before he arrived at the village.

Jiang Zhishu raised his whip fiercely, whipped the oxen pulling the cart, and said in a rough voice: "If you don't accept it, I'll chop your neck with a knife."

Qi Yanzhen trembled, touched her neck, and huddled aside while holding her package while everyone stared at her angrily.

Exhale through the nose and say nothing again.

The sun was rising high, and when it was almost noon, the group finally saw a small village surrounded by mountains and crisscrossing farmland.

At the head of the village, under a big locust tree, men, women and children gathered together.

Seeing them passing by, they all came forward.

"Oh, this girl is so pretty, like a flower."

An old lady with a mouth full of big yellow teeth grinned loudly.

The others all cast their eyes on Jiang Linran, looking at her from head to toe without any concealment.

"That's not a good thing. Village chief, your Xiaoyan's position as village beauty must be given over to this newcomer."

Another woman holding a child smiled and agreed.

"You have time to talk nonsense here, why don't you hurry up and get to work."

An old man, about the same age as the party secretary, walked over, shaking his tobacco stick.

"Old Zhao, here we come, four girls and one boy."

"I saw it."

The village chief looked at them one by one, and finally looked at Jiang Linran twice. He turned his head and said to the young people standing under the big locust tree: "Huang Wenyou, come here, take them to the educated youth point to settle down, and then go The village committee collects things."

A young man, about 25 or [-] years old, with a slim build, wearing glasses, with some bluish-white skin, and wearing a heavily patched Chinese tunic suit, came over.

"Hello everyone, I am Huang Wenyou, from Haishi. Come with me."

After everyone said hello to the village chief and party secretary, they followed Huang Wenyou towards the educated youth spot.

After they walked away, Secretary Jiang told the village chief about Jiang Linran.

After hearing this, the village chief didn't feel like saying anything more. He said in a calm tone: "In this case, let's give her two days off."

After saying that, he muttered to himself: "Every time there are more girls here."

"The fields here are fertile. Over the course of the year, if I eat sparingly and eat a mix of coarse and fine grains, I can basically eat half full. Most of the people in the village are kind-hearted. In addition to me, there is also a gay man named Zhang Bing from the province. I have been here for more than two years. The other two lesbians, one named Huang Wenjuan, are from Hangzhou, and the other is named Li Aihong, who is also from Beijing like you. They both came last year.

The longest I've been here is almost six years. "

It is now [-], which means he has been here for almost [-] years, which is indeed a long time.

Jiang Linran sighed in his heart.

The educated youth point was built at the end of the village, with mountains behind it.

The courtyard of the Educated Youth Point is surrounded by a short mud wall. If you stand outside the courtyard, you can see inside.

The yard is not very big and is kept quite neatly.

There are some farm tools placed under the eaves, and a few strings of dried chili peppers hang on the wall.

The house has mud walls and a thatched roof, similar to most houses in the village.

After pushing open the wooden door and going in, Huang Wenyou knocked on the door on the left, stood at the door and pointed inside: "You will live here, go in and make arrangements for yourself." After that, he shouted to a slightly louder voice inside: " Huang Wenjuan and Li Aihong are new comrades."

"Come in." A clear voice responded.

Following the sound, an educated youth who was about the same age as Zhang Dalan came out and said to Huang Wenyou who was standing at the door: "Xiujuan is not here."

Turning around, he greeted Zhang Dalan and the others with a smile: "My name is Li Aihong, come in with me."

Everyone followed her into the house.

In the room, there are large shops on both sides of the wall, a long table in the middle of the aisle, and two long benches on both sides of the table.

On the table, there are two tea jars and a rough clay water jar.

The bunk by the window was covered with straw and sheets, with quilts and pillows placed there.

Others are bare and empty.

Zhang Dalan and the others went in and got to know each other.

Li Aihong pointed to the two bunks by the window: "Wenjuan and I are on one side, how do you guys sleep?"

As soon as Li Aihong finished speaking, Qi Yanzhen rushed over and put her package next to where Li Aihong pointed.

"I'm going to sleep here."

When Chen Tingting saw her, she walked over with her own parcel and sat down on the bunk opposite Qi Yanzhen: "Then I'll sleep here."

Zhang Dalan and Jiang Linran looked at each other and put their packages at the end of the shop.

“The small room set up in the yard is the kitchen.

There is water in the kitchen water tank and a bucket. You can fetch water and scrub it.However, water should be used sparingly. To carry water, you have to go to the well in the center of the village.

The toilet is in the backyard. If you need straw to put it under, you can go to the village headquarters later and tell them to bring back a few bundles. "

"I'm going to fetch water."

Zhang Dalan stepped forward and went to the kitchen to fetch water.

After a while, Zhang Dalan came in with half a bucket of water.

Before the bucket was put away, Qi Yanzhen came over with a rag and threw the rag directly into the bucket, splashing water all over Zhang Dalan's trousers.

"you"

Jiang Linran couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward.

Zhang Dalan grabbed her and said, "It's okay, we'll do it in a while."

Jiang Linran looked at Zhang Dalan, then at Li Aihong over there, and then swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

The four of them wiped the bunks and packed their bunks.

Jiang Linran took the two beds of cotton batting he brought and put a thinner one underneath and laid out the quilt. Jiang Linran also spread the sheets on top. After tidying them up, he put a quilt cover on the remaining thicker bed. Bring it to cover.

The bedding, sheets, and bedspread were all purchased by the original owner when he was leaving for Beijing.

The blue-gray plaid fabric is simple, neither outstanding nor ugly.

It would suit Jiang Linran's vision then.

Chen Tingting and Zhang Dalan also packed up their own shops.

Chen Tingting's bedding is the color of small flowers with a red background. It looks bright and eye-catching. There is also a mattress quilt underneath.

Zhang Dalan was the one she had used when she was at home before. The dark blue quilt had a big patch on it, and it was a little white after washing, but it also had a thin quilt.

Among the four people, only Qi Yanzhen only had one quilt.
