Siheyuan: Married Lou Xiao'e at the beginning

Chapter 159 I'll Give You a Sheepskin Mattress

There is meat at every meal, subsidies every month, overtime pay for overtime work, and double the gifts during festivals.

"But why is Director Yang here? Is the country planning to develop agriculture?"

……

They were talking about it a lot, but without any accurate information, no one could say for sure and no one could make up their mind.

After all, there are some things that they don't know and can't discuss.

It's more than ten miles, and the mountain road is not easy to walk on. If it weren't for the cakes and biscuits that Sun Xiaoshan took out, many people might not have the strength to walk back.

When they returned to the farm, it was already completely dark, and the farm was preparing to send people out to search. After all, these educated youth were all newcomers, and no accidents could be allowed to occur.

"Captain Qian, this is our field manager, Sun Xiaoshan."

"Hello, Director Sun, you must have worked hard on the journey. Please come inside and rest. I will ask someone to prepare some food."

"No need, Captain Qian. We ate something on the road and we are not very hungry now. Let's arrange for these young people to stay first."

Sun Xiaoshan was obviously also a young man, but in his eyes, these educated youth became young people.

Everyone thought the same way; after all, these educated youth were part of their work.

Although these educated youth went to the countryside to experience life and undergo labor reform, their daily lives also had to be taken care of.

Sun Xiaoshan saw Han Chunyan holding two packages that were almost the same size as his own, so he stepped forward to help.

His actions attracted the attention of these farm leaders, which was enough and what Sun Xiaoshan wanted.

"Captain Qian, this is my friend's sister. Can you help arrange for them to live in the same dormitory? After all, they all come from the same place and can take care of each other."

Captain Qian would certainly not refuse these small things. Who would refuse the kindness of a factory director?

"The educated youth are divided into rooms of five each. They can allocate the rooms themselves. Leave these to us. You've been on the bus for several days."

Sun Xiaoshan smiled and said nothing more. Instead, he took his package and followed Director Zhang to his dormitory, which was a dugout.

There was nothing special about it. Sun Xiaoshan just had a room and a dugout by himself. Inside the dugout there was a brick bed, a table, two chairs and a box.

As for the bedding and other things, someone prepared them for him, including a sheepskin mattress.

"It's quite cold here at night. With this sheepskin, it will be much better at night."

Now they have passed the time, and the kang is no longer heated at night, so it is relatively better to have a sheepskin mattress.

But not everyone has a sheepskin mattress. Only Sun Xiaoshan has such treatment.

"Director Sun, this is where you live and where you work. Our office is in the only brick house there. That's where we work together."

As he spoke, he pointed to the only building on the ground, which was a group of six tiled houses. It was also the landmark building of the Red Star Farm 63. If it weren't for these tiled houses, many people might not be able to find this place.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Zhang, and thank you for your care along the way. Regarding these work matters, should we have a meeting tonight or talk about them tomorrow?"

"You've been tired all day, why don't we talk about it tomorrow."

After a whole day's journey, especially the more than ten kilometers of mountain roads at the end, Director Zhang was very tired. To be honest, he didn't have the energy to go to the meeting at this time.

"Okay, then you should go to bed early, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

After Zhang Kaiqian left, Sun Xiaoshan also tidied up the dugout. Although it was a little dark, it was not damp at all and the space was large enough for him to live in alone. However, it would be a bit crowded for five people to live in this dugout.

He looked at the sheepskin mattress on the bed, thought about it, picked it up, and walked towards Chunyan's residence.

"Is Comrade Chunyan here?"

He knocked on the door gently. Han Chunyan and others who were just about to clean up the room came out. They had just arrived here and didn't know many people, but the voices sounded familiar, so they came out of the room. When they saw Sun Xiaoshan, they were also stunned.

"Director Sun, is there anything I can help you with?"

"The weather is cold here. Director Zhang gave me a sheepskin mattress, but I don't need it, so I'll give it to you."

After saying this, he directly stuffed the sheepskin mattress in his hand to Han Chunyan, turned around and left without waiting for her to speak. The latter was slightly stunned, with a hint of blush on her face.

But the next second, he seemed to have thought of something, and he thought Sun Xiaoshan mistook her for Lou Xiao'e.

After thinking about this, the excitement in Han Chunyan's heart quietly dissipated, but she still accepted the sheepskin mattress.

"Chunyan, it seems that our Director Sun treats you very well. He doesn't have that kind of intention towards you, does he?"

"Director Sun has a wife."

Han Chunyan shook her head slightly, ignored these people, and went back to the dugout to make her own bed.

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking about this issue and thought that Sun Xiaoshan only helped Han Chunyan because he knew Han Chunsong.

After Sun Xiaoshan returned, he closed the door and went to Xiangjiang River, where he brought back two quilts and placed them in the dugout.

Lou Xiao'e also had a sudden idea and wanted to experience this kind of dugout.

Looking at the dim light, Lou Xiaoe frowned slightly, but as long as Sun Xiaoshan was by her side, everything was acceptable. "The environment here is not very good, but it is very simple and sincere."

"In fact, this is the life of farmers. There are still many people living like this. We should work harder to help China break through this kind of hunger-starved life as soon as possible."

Lou Xiao'e knew Sun Xiaoshan's plan, so she also knew what she had to do.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after Lou Xiao'e left, Sun Xiaoshan packed up and walked out of the dugout.

He was washing in the space. The water here was precious, so he didn't want to waste the water resources.

The first thing I did after getting up was to walk around their farm office area, get a brief understanding of their current farm, and look at their future plans.

"Manager Sun, you're up. I was just about to meet you for dinner."

"We usually have one small team and one kitchen. Since you are new here and not familiar with the place, you can cook by yourself or eat with the cadres."

“Is there any difference between cadres?”

"It's nothing, they're all the same stuff, we just have a tight supply here."

……

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the cadres' canteen. Sun Xiaoshan then saw their breakfast: two black pancakes, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of soup per person.
