Chapter 27 Someone Comes to the Door

Zhou Zhengan took a look at the things in their nest.

I plan to ask Lao Liu to make some small horses when I go back.

Lao Liu knows carpentry, and only Lao Liu can make this thing.

After seeing Zhou Zhengan off, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Xia Zhi and Liu Zhiyan were both a little curious.

In the past two days, they and other educated youths have obviously become very different from each other, and others are unwilling to talk to them. In fact, they don't really want to be so close to others.

Someone actually comes to the door.

Xia Zhi opened the door and saw two female educated youths standing outside.

"Comrade Xiaoxia, have you eaten?"

Xia Zhi nodded,

"We just finished eating, what do you want?"

Two female educated youths, one named Fang Xiaoya and the other named Li Jinhui.

The location where I live is relatively far away, so I probably live in a nest on the side.

These two female educated youths gave people a relatively good impression. After all, when they had conflicts in the past two days, they didn't know whether they felt that the matter had nothing to do with them and ignored it, or they felt that they had seen the essence of the problem.

Anyway, the two of them didn't say anything, nor did they make any special expressions.

Even keeping a distance from others is a good habit these days.

"I'm so sorry. The two of us just wanted to ask where you can buy the mat that Captain Zhou sent you last time? We both want to buy a mat too."

Fang Xiaoya had longed for that mat and slept on those straws. Although she was separated by the mat, she always felt uneasy, and every now and then she would wake up with a pile of straw in the morning.

Thinking of their mats during the summer solstice, I think this thing is more practical.

The two of them discussed it and came here specifically to ask questions without being ashamed.

"This mat is not for sale."

Xia Zhi is telling the truth. After all, almost everyone can make mats from local materials.

They are not educated youths because they have only been here for a short time. But any educated youth who have been here for a long time can probably weave baskets, mats, benches, and anything else with reeds.

You can even make up various interesting dolls such as grasshoppers, little rabbits, and little tigers.

Upon hearing this, Li Jinhui next to her was filled with disappointment.

"Comrade Xiaoxia, we can be considered like-minded comrades in the future, so don't hide it from us, just tell us which fellow villager you bought the mat from."

The two of them were afraid that they would not help, and thought that their answer was deliberately making things difficult.

Liu Zhiyan poked her head out from behind, and upon hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on her face.

"It sounds like we are deliberately making things difficult for you. To tell you the truth, Captain Zhou and his two young comrades made this mat by placing reeds from the reed swamps themselves. Where do you think we can introduce it to you? "

When Xia Zhi heard this, he knew that Liu Zhiyan was showing off.

They were afraid that others would not know that Captain Zhou treated them differently.

Sure enough, Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui were completely wilted after hearing this. They didn't have the ability to use Captain Zhou to weave mats for them.

The two of them were about to turn around and leave when they heard Xia Zhi's voice coming from behind.

"If you really want mats, I can teach you how to weave them. In fact, editing is very simple. You only need to cut the materials from the reed swamp and you can weave them in less than two hours."

The two turned around in surprise and joy.

"Comrade Xiaoxia, is it really possible? Then we thank you. Please help us. We need a mat."

Xia Zhi nodded.

"You guys go back to the den first, and I'll go find Liu Qianjin. We have to bring the gay man with us, otherwise no one will protect us, and we'll be in trouble if we encounter a wolf on the reed path."

Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui were frightened when they heard the wolf.

"What if we meet a wolf?"

"Remember to prepare two fire sticks behind the door from now on, the ones that come handy.

Even if it's not wolf hunting.

If another beast breaks into Diwo at the door, he must have the strength to protect himself.

We can't just wait for the male educated youth to help. If they don't hear, who will we rely on then? "

Xia Zhi's words suddenly reminded the two of them of the sound coming from the torn linen at the door of the underground house last night.

The two nodded hurriedly. It seemed that they had to learn to protect themselves. This was the first thing to learn.

The two left, and Liu Zhiyan said gloomily from behind.

"Why do you want to help them? You don't know that those educated youths look down on us."

"Comrade Xiao Liu, you have to take a long-term view. We can't live without interacting with others for the rest of our lives.

We live in groups, and if we encounter danger in the future, we really need someone to help us.

Besides, our life here is not just one or two years, but maybe ten, eight, 20, or 30 years.

We can't really treat each other as guests, just nod our acquaintances.

We must slowly dissolve the distance and barriers between them and us. "

"You, me and Liu Qianjin all need friends."

What Xia Zhi didn't say is that a lot of work in the future will need to be done in groups. If they really don't have other friends, then they will be in trouble.

There is nothing wrong with having strong personal abilities, but you cannot completely stop interacting with others based solely on your personal abilities.

Liu Zhiyan nodded. In fact, she was also a person who was willing to be friends with others.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the entanglement I had on the first night, but now I think this small group is quite good.

It's stable and there's nothing to worry about.

Xia Zhi has his own ideas, and his brain works well, and his ideas are correct. Although Liu Qianjin's brain is not very good, he is obedient, strong, and can do a lot of work, which makes people feel safe.

Although he is a little useless now, he can at least provide some material help to the group.

But if Xia Zhi gradually makes friends with others, will many of his own problems be revealed?

At that time, Xia Zhi feels that it is easier to make friends with others, and he doesn't have to do anything by himself.

Xia Zhi didn't know that Liu Zhiyan still had such worries.

He found Liu Qianjin next to him, and the two of them set off with fire sticks and sickles.

They have sickles here, which are naturally brought by Captain Zhou.

Liu Zhiyan gritted her teeth and followed them with a basket.

"I will go with you too. Although I can't cut those reeds, I may be able to help pick up duck eggs."

Xia Zhi thought about it, and it's good to have a sense of participation. At least Liu Zhiyan is a good comrade if she doesn't slack off now.

This kind of enthusiasm should be encouraged.

"Okay, let's go."

"Maybe you can pick up more duck eggs, and we can pickle them."

When Liu Zhiyan heard about salted duck eggs, she swallowed her saliva.

"Xiazhi, can you pickle the kind of salted duck eggs that ooze oil?"

A face full of longing.

"Yes! Comrade Xiao Liu, you are very lucky, because there is a cooking master living next to you."

Liu Zhiyan immediately showed a flattering smile.

Xiazhi really didn't know that Liu Zhiyan was a foodie in her previous life.

When it comes to eating, she is very excited.
