Chapter 51 Moving away
Chen Dewen taunted, "Even eating can't stop your mouth!"

Lu Nianying only took a small bite, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it with difficulty. "Kong Zhiqing, not everyone's family is like yours, relying on black noodles to survive!"

Kong Lijuan looked at Zheng Siqi in horror. His face was so dark that it seemed like water was about to drip out. He said helplessly, "Zheng Zhiqing, I, I didn't mean to say anything about you!"

She didn't expect that Xu Qinghuan was not the only one who couldn't eat the pancake. The ones who couldn't swallow it the most were the three people from Yan City, especially Zheng Siqi.

And she actually offended Zheng Zhiqing because of Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan sneered in a good mood.

Duan Qingmei came out of the room with a basin. Seeing that the pot had not been washed, she said angrily, "Why don't you wash the pot? We need to boil water to take a bath. Why don't you have time to talk nonsense here? Why don't you get the pot out quickly?"

There was no oil in the pot. Xu Qinghuan just put down her lunch box and went to wash the pot. She scooped a bucket of water and brushed the pot with dry loofah, and the pot was clean.

"Xu Qinghuan, it's your turn to cook tomorrow!" Duan Qingmei knew that Xu Qinghuan had gone to the county town today, and she thought that she would definitely buy some food back, so maybe she could also benefit from it.

Xu Qinghuan glanced at her calmly and gave up the stove, "I won't do it!"

Duan Qingmei was immediately enraged, raising her pale eyebrows. "What do you mean? Everyone who lives in a youth education center must share the labor. Men fetch water and firewood, and women cook. If you live in a youth education center, you must take turns."

Xu Qinghuan said, "I won't be staying at the educated youth camp tomorrow morning."

Duan Qingmei was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.

Lu Nianying came close to her and hesitantly asked, "Qinghuan, if you don't live in the educated youth camp, where are you going to live?"

This matter had to be brought out sooner or later, so Xu Qinghuan took this opportunity to say, "I've rented a house in the village and will move out tomorrow morning."

Before Lu Nianying could say anything, Qiao Xinyu came over and said, "Qinghuan and I are moving together. Can we move now?"

The last sentence was directed at Xu Qinghuan. She had been weeding in the cornfield all day and was too tired to even talk. When she heard they were moving early tomorrow morning, Qiao Xinyu hurriedly said, "I'll take half a day off tomorrow morning and move with you."

Lu Nianying hurriedly asked, "Qiao Zhiqing, are you moving out too?"

Qiao Xinyu hummed, looked at Xu Qinghuan's happy expression, and asked, "What did the doctor say during today's examination?"

Xu Qinghuan told them the doctor's diagnosis. In fact, Dr. Song's diagnosis was a bit too serious. It was said that there might be damage to the internal organs. Everyone looked at Kong Lijuan and invisibly distanced themselves from her.

Kong Lijuan was so angry that she started crying, "Didn't I pay you a hundred yuan in compensation?"

Qiao Xinyu angrily said, "Shouldn't you pay for it? Don't think that everything will be alright once you pay the money. The doctor said there might be sequelae. You'd better pray that Huanhuan is safe and well and lives a long life."

Kong Lijuan glared at Xu Qinghuan angrily and ran into the house. After a while, muffled and loud crying sounds were heard.

Yu Xiaomin frowned and suddenly said, "Huanhuan, can I move in with you? I don't have much money, so I'll just live in the storage room at the back. Can I pay less rent that way?"

Xu Qinghuan and Qiao Xinyu looked at each other and said happily, "Okay, it doesn't matter, just pay ten cents."

Yu Xiaomin shook her head. "No, I'll give you two cents! I'll also do the farming and firewood. Is that okay with you?"

Qiao Xinyu said, "The three of us are together. There are no houses near the house anyway. If you come with us, we'll feel safer with one more person. Don't think about anything else."

Yu Xiaomin gave Xu Qinghuan two dollars and forty cents, and Qiao Xinyu gave her four dollars and eighty cents, which was a year's rent.

Yu Xiaomin counted and found that she only had twenty-three yuan and fifty cents in her hand. She suddenly felt a little uneasy.

But when she thought that she could still make money in the coming year, she couldn't help but become more motivated.

Xu Qinghuan and Yu Xiaomin returned tonight's meal rations to Chen Dewen and whispered, "We'll treat you to a meal after we're settled over there." "Okay, don't forget!" Chen Dewen said with a smile.

At night, the three of them slept on the south kang, feeling very happy. Xu Qinghuan looked at Yu Xiaomin's profile and asked, "Why did you suddenly come to your senses?"

Yu Xiaomin pulled the quilt for her and said, "I still can't bear to leave you."

Feelings are developed through time spent together. If the two of them moved away and I lived in the educated youth camp, it would be impossible for me to go there every day. Over time, they would inevitably become estranged. I am afraid there will never be a chance to restore the close and supportive relationship we have now.

Once something is missed, you can never go back to the past.

The next morning, Yu Xiaomin packed her things and entrusted them to Xu Qinghuan. She could not take a leave and had to go to work from today.

She took out her own rations to cook with the educated youth, but was rejected by Duan Qingmei, even though it was not Duan Qingmei's turn to cook today.

As the deputy team leader of the educated youth point, Qu Qiongfang didn't say a word.

Yu Xiaomin was so angry that Xu Qinghuan pulled her back, took out malted milk from the kang cabinet, made her a cup, and handed her a steamed bun, "Eat it!"

Yu Xiaomin took a big bite of the steamed bun and was glad that she had finally decided to move out.

She has never been good at dealing with people, let alone handling conflicts.

"I'll give it back to you later." Yu Xiaomin was eating a steamed bun. Although it looked like it was made of cornmeal and was cold, it was soft and delicious, different from the steamed buns made of two-grain flour that she usually ate.

"Eat, there's plenty of time to come." Xu Qinghuan didn't care.

Those cornmeal buns were something I stockpiled a while ago. At that time, I thought it would be good to eat some whole grains, so I packed a portion. Later, I never thought about eating them.

This is basically how the food in the space comes from.

I don’t know how long the cornmeal buns have been left out, but they have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy. After eating one as big as a fist, Yu Xiaomin actually felt full.

After drinking a teacup of malted milk, she felt refreshed and went to the brigade headquarters first.

When it comes to work, Yu Xiaomin is definitely an activist.

Xu Qinghuan had sorted out her things and was helping Qiao Xinyu make the bed when she came in hurriedly. "Huanhuan, I borrowed a cart at the door. Let's carry the things up there."

"Row!"

Xu Qinghuan first took an old kang mat and placed it on the cart, then spread a layer of baggage, and then rolled up the bedding with the kang mat, putting a total of three rolls on the cart, and then piled several pieces of furniture she bought, such as the kang table and the foot bath bucket, on top of it.

All that was left was the washbasin. There were a lot of miscellaneous things, filling up an entire cart.

Perhaps because she was afraid that Xu Qinghuan and the others would steal things, Duan Qingmei didn't leave and stayed behind. After the two of them took away the last bit of things, she watched them drag the cart away.

It's too late to go to work now.

However, since Qu Qiongfang asked for leave for her, her work points would not be deducted.

"Tsk, you're a thief, and you treat others like thieves! When I lived here before, she stole all my soap. I hadn't used the soap all day, but when I took a shower at night, the soap was wet. You have no idea how disgusted I was at that time. The thought of using the same soap as someone else!"

Qiao Xinyu pulled the cart and Xu Qinghuan pushed it from behind, and the two walked towards their new home.
