Among the seven people who came, there were three couples, who were assigned to three rooms. Only Huo Guochang was single, and he stayed in one room by himself.
The room was piled with a lot of straw. They moved the straw to one side, leaving an empty corner, then used the straw to make a bed, covered it with a shabby quilt, and slept on it just like that.
When they arrived, they didn't bring anything. Those shabby quilts were donated by the villagers after the brigade leader saw their pitiful condition and organized a collection.
They were also given a chipped clay pot to cook with.
They borrowed fifty pounds of grain from the brigade.
For everything else, they had to fend for themselves.
Yuan Chun focused intently on Huo Guochang. He had injured a leg, and it seemed to hurt a lot. He was massaging that leg, and each time he pressed it, his brow twitched in pain.
