Chapter 234 Drawing Tanks
"You should have eaten, right?" Song Cenyue asked politely after He Xiaolu and the others entered the room and sat down. She looked around the room carefully.
The house was exactly the same as when she left. Everything was there, nothing was missing, and no one had come in to steal anything.
"We've eaten." He Xiaolu and the others nodded.
"Then I'll go get some water for you to drink... I haven't been back for a few days, the stove is empty and there's no fire, so I can only go get some well water for you to drink. But don't worry, the well water in my house is very delicious and a bit sweet." Song Cenyue said.
She thought that since they had already eaten, she should offer them water to show her hospitality, but there was no hot water, so she could only offer them cold water.
Fortunately, the well water in her house is sweet and delicious, and it is clean, so drinking it will not give you diarrhea.
People at that time were different from modern people. Most of them were used to drinking cold water, so it was nothing to invite others to drink cold water, and it would not make people feel rude.
"No need, we're not thirsty." He Xiaolu shook her hand, then reached out to pull Song Cenyue, "Come and sit down, stop working." She pulled Song Cenyue to sit on the stool next to her.
"Yeah, you don't have to work hard, don't worry about us, it's already so late, we have already eaten and drunk enough." Yu Jiahui said with a smile, and the other male educated youth nodded in agreement.
"Then I won't care about you anymore." Song Cenyue smiled with the corners of her lips raised.
"Cen Yue, I heard that you went to the army this time to repair tanks. What do tanks look like? Although I have heard of tanks before, I have never seen what a tank looks like. I am very curious." Xu Xiaopeng asked with a slightly excited look on his face.
The others also looked curious. Like Xu Xiaopeng, they had heard of tanks because they had been to school and read books, but had never seen what a tank looked like.
"This is what a tank looks like..." Song Cenyue described what a tank looked like to them.
"Although I've told you a lot, I still can't imagine what a tank looks like." Meng Jiang shook his head.
"Me too... Listening to Song Zhiqing's description, the tank is very complicated, with a very long gun barrel and many wheels. It also looks like a small fortress. I really can't imagine what it looks like." Yu Jiahui said.
The others nodded in agreement. They also couldn't figure out what a tank looked like, and became even more curious.
"Song Zhiqing, do you have a pen and paper? Can you draw the tank? Draw it so that we can see what it looks like, so that we don't have to rely on our imagination and make blind guesses." Yu Jiahui showed a pleading expression.
"Yu Zhiqing, this is a good idea. Cen Yue, would you mind drawing it? It would be great if you could draw it." He Xiaolu said with a pleading expression.
"Yes! Song Zhiqing, please draw it."
"Song Zhiqing, please!"
"Song Zhiqing, please, we really want to know what a tank looks like."
Other people also asked Song Cenyue to draw a tank. A helpless smile flashed across Song Cenyue's eyes. People were begging her so much, so it seemed she had no choice but to draw it.
"Okay, I'll go find paper and pen to draw a tank for you." Song Cenyue said as she stood up and went to the room to find paper and pen.
In fact, she had paper and pen in her space, but she certainly couldn't take it out in front of He Xiaolu, Yu Jiahui and the others. That would be too much. She could create paper and pen out of thin air...
Ah!
Song Cenyue went to the room and lit the kerosene lamp. She did not rush to find paper and pen, but checked the room carefully. She found that the room was the same as when she left, and everything was there, and nothing had been stolen.
She was completely relieved, but she remembered that there was a kitchen. She would go to the kitchen to check later so that she could feel completely at ease.
After Song Cenyue got paper and pen, she went to the kitchen and checked it. She found that nothing was missing and all the food was there. She felt completely relieved and returned to the main room.
"I'm back. I'll draw a tank for you now." Song Cenyue said, then sat down at the table, put the paper under the table and started drawing a tank.
Tanks are much more complicated than tractors and cars, so it is difficult to draw them all. However, Song Cenyue still managed to draw them all, and his painting skills are amazing. The paintings are vivid and lifelike, just like the real ones.
"This is a tank! So handsome, so majestic, and so impressive!" Xu Xiaopeng shouted excitedly when he saw the picture of the tank. His face was full of excitement and his eyes were filled with fascination.
The same goes for the other educated youth, except He Xiaolu.
"Why do I feel that this tank looks scary, like a giant steel beast?" He Xiaolu is a woman and timid. Unlike the male educated youth, she does not think that tanks are handsome, domineering and powerful. She only thinks they are scary.
Men and women have very different preferences in some aspects.
"Indeed, some people call tanks steel beasts. The power of tanks is amazing, after all, they have cannons." Song Cenyue said with a smile.
"Song Zhiqing, I admire you more and more, even worship you. How come you can even repair such a mighty beast... And your drawing skills are really amazing. This tank is drawn so well, it looks like the real thing." Yu Jiahui praised.
Others also praised Song Cenyue, and Song Cenyue smiled modestly. "You are too kind."
"Song Zhiqing, you can repair tanks, so you are a very scarce talent. The army should be reluctant to let you go. Why would they let you come back?" Meng Jiang asked curiously.
Hearing this, Song Cenyue's eyes flashed with surprise. From what he said, it seemed like they didn't know that they had to stay in the army and would be soldiers in the future?
Didn’t the captain tell them?
Zhang Shengjin did not tell them that the army wanted Song Cenyue and the relevant procedures had been completed. Song Cenyue would no longer be the educated youth's business. Now only the Zhang family knew about this in the entire production team. Zhang Shengjin and his family had not yet revealed it to anyone in the production team.
"The army is really reluctant to let me go and wants to keep me in the army. I agreed. I came back this time to pack my things and deal with the house. I will leave for the army in about half a month." Song Cenyue replied.
Everyone was shocked. He Xiaolu shouted excitedly, "What! Cen Yue, you are going to stay in the army in the future?! You came back this time to pack up your things and deal with the house?! If you leave, will I never see you again?"
"I can't bear to leave you!" He Xiaolu reached out and grabbed Song Cenyue's hand, her face full of reluctance.
When she heard that her friend had returned, she was so happy. She hadn't seen her friend for several days and she missed him very much.
I didn't expect that my friend would leave again after coming back this time, and I'm afraid she will never come back in the future. After all, she has to stay in the army. Although people in the army can also take holidays, this is not her home, and she will definitely not come back here during the holidays.
"Song Zhiqing, we can't bear to part with you either!" The male educated youth also showed expressions of reluctance.
"Don't be like this. I won't leave and won't come back. I've told the captain's family before that I will come back to visit everyone in the future." Song Cenyue comforted with a smile.
"Will you really come back?" He Xiaolu immediately beamed with joy and happily grabbed Song Cenyue's hand again.
The male educated youth also looked happy.
"Of course, why would I lie to you! I have feelings for this place, and I have feelings for you too. I will definitely not just leave and never come back. If the army has a holiday in the future, I will come back here to visit you." Song Cenyue said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good! I consider you my best friend, and I can't bear not seeing you in the future!" He Xiaolu raised the corners of her lips and smiled, reaching out and touching her chest.
Seeing this, everyone laughed.
"Song Zhiqing, since you're going to come back in the future, why don't you sell this house? Otherwise, where will you live when you come back?" Meng Jiang suddenly looked like he had thought of something, and said to Song Cenyue. "You don't look like you're short of money, so you don't have to wait to sell the house for money."
"Now that Meng Zhiqing said that, it's true. You don't have to sell the house. You can keep it and live in it when you come back." He Xiaolu nodded in agreement.
“Although I will come back in the future, I will definitely not come back often. I will probably only come back once or twice a year. There is no need to reserve a house specifically for me to live in. When I come back, I can find a place to stay or stay in a guesthouse in the city.
Although I have enough money and don't have to wait for the money from selling the house, this house has been vacant and unoccupied. It's not safe. What if someone comes in to steal things? Moreover, it has been unoccupied for many years, and it has accumulated a lot of dust. I have to clean it up every time I come back, which is really troublesome. So it's better to sell this house!" Song Cenyue said.
"What you said is true. This house cannot be left empty all the time for fear of theft. You will have to worry about it when you are away. And when you come back occasionally, you have to do a thorough cleaning before you can live in it. So it is better to sell it!" said Yu Jiahui.
"It's a pity to sell such a nice house. The house was built not long ago and the layout is also good." Xu Xiaopeng felt a little sorry for Song Cenyue.
"Yes!" He Xiaolu and several other male educated youth nodded in agreement, expressing regret.
"Cen Yue, how much do you plan to sell this house for?" Su Dawei's eyes suddenly flickered, as if he thought of something. After looking at He Xiaolu, he looked at Song Cen Yue and asked.
Song Cenyue noticed that before Su Dawei asked her, he glanced at He Xiaolu first, and a hint of confusion flashed across his eyes, but she didn't think much about it, let alone ask.
"The captain said my house is worth 150 yuan, but if I sell it for so much, people here might not be able to afford it, so he asked me to lower the price by 20 yuan to 130 yuan...
I asked the captain to help me sell my house before. I thought that since he was the captain, he must know who needed a house and wanted to buy one. The captain said that he knew a few people who wanted to build houses, and he went to ask them if there was anyone who wanted to buy my house. "Song Cenyue replied with her red lips slightly parted.
"Then do you agree to sell it for one hundred and thirty yuan?" Su Dawei asked.
"I agreed. In order to sell it before I leave, I have to sell it at a lower price." Song Cenyue nodded and joked, "Since you're asking, you don't want to buy it, do you?"
"Why would Su Zhiqing buy it? Why would he buy it? He doesn't lack a place to live. The house he and Yu Zhiqing and others are building together is almost completed!" He Xiaolu didn't realize that Song Cenyue was joking, so she interrupted and shook her head.
"I really plan to buy it!" Su Dawei laughed unexpectedly.
"What! You really plan to buy it!" Everyone was surprised, including Song Cenyue.
"You have built a house with us, and it is almost finished. Why did you buy Song Zhiqing's house?" Xu Xiaopeng looked puzzled and very surprised.
The others also stared at Su Dawei in confusion, finding it strange.
"My cousin will be sent to the countryside next year, and my uncle and aunt want to use their connections to have the Youth League Office assign her to my place so that I can take care of her.
Wang Ximei and Zhou Xiaoli, you know that it is better not to let my cousin live with her, but it is not appropriate for her to live in the house we built together...
I thought since Song Zhiqing wanted to sell the house and it was a nice house, I might as well buy it and let her move in when she came next year." Su Dawei explained.
Suddenly, he turned his gaze and looked at He Xiaolu, saying, "And He Xiaolu has told me several times before that during the time you, Song Zhiqing, were away, Wang Ximei and Zhou Xiaoli saw that you were gone and she had no one to lean on, so they kept bullying her, making her miserable...
I felt so sorry for her, so I thought that after I bought the house, I could rent it to her so that she could move out of the educated youth site and no longer have to live with Wang Ximei and Zhou Xiaoli and stay away from them.
Anyway, my cousin won’t come until next year. When she comes, I can let her live in this main room and turn it into a bedroom. She and He Xiaolu can live together and take care of each other. ”
Hearing this, Song Cenyue's eyebrows moved slightly. Wang Ximei and Zhou Xiaoli, these two bitches, actually took advantage of her absence to bully He Xiaolu, making her miserable. They really deserved to be punished.
It seems that before going back, I have to find some time to give these two bitches Wang Ximei and Zhou Xiaoli a good beating, so that they will be scared to death and dare not bully He Xiaolu again.
