Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Liu Jingxue remembered that she had overheard the conversation between her uncle and aunt last time, and she couldn't help but feel moved and took the initiative to speak.

"Captain, the Youth League settlement is too small to accommodate us, and it's too late even if we expand it now.

I wonder if there are any empty houses in our village. Can I rent one and live there alone? "

Feng Chunyan was surprised and said, "Liu Zhiqing, you have to rent a house by yourself.

But when we go to the countryside, the village should have provided us with accommodation, so why should we pay for renting a house ourselves?"

Liu Jingxue smiled and said, "Although the village has the obligation to solve our accommodation problem, they have already built a youth education center and have fulfilled their obligations.

But the higher authorities kept sending educated youth down here, and the village had no choice. They couldn’t just keep asking them to expand.

The villagers are all digging for food in the fields, and they can't save much money throughout the year. We can't keep causing trouble for the village."

Zhang Yingchun said, "That being said, it's not safe for you to live alone."

Liu Jingxue explained, "This room can only accommodate two female educated youth, so one of them has to move out.

If you two live alone, that's really unsafe.

As for me, I don't have that worry. Don't forget that I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child."

"Besides, I am a solitary person and I am not used to living with others, let alone sleeping in a dormitory.

I don’t want to put myself in a difficult position, so I’d rather spend some money to rent a house and live more comfortably.”

Liu Jingxue turned to look at Captain Zhang and said, "Captain, is there any vacant house in the village that you can rent to me?"

Captain Zhang was just thinking about how to arrange the people over there as the old leader had said, when someone took the initiative to bring the ladder over to him, so he naturally had to take it.

“There is an empty house in the village, but it’s not big, but it’s big enough for you to live in.

If you are willing, I can rent the house to you on behalf of the village for six dollars a year."

After hearing this, Liu Jingxue quickly replied, "Okay, Captain, I'll rent this house.

But let's be frank. You have to sign a contract with me on behalf of the village, stating that after you rent this house to me, you cannot take it back or arrange for other people to live in it unless I agree."

Captain Zhang nodded and said, "Of course, we can write this down in the contract later."

Zheng Jianmin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the extra female educated youth had been arranged.

Thinking that the youth educated camp was already full and that there would not be enough room for more youth educated to come, he quickly reminded the team leader.

"Captain, we have made arrangements for the educated youth who came this time, but what should we do when the next batch of educated youth arrive? We can't arrange any of them at our educated youth camp.

Judging from the current situation, more educated youth will come here in the future, and the village must quickly arrange for the expansion of the educated youth camp."

Captain Zhang frowned, "Expanding the Youth League Center is probably not possible.

Even if what Liu Zhiqing said was true, it was not easy for the village to save some money, and it was impossible to spend it all on the Zhiqing.

The team spent a lot of money to build this youth educated camp. However, the new houses were not built for the villagers but for the youth educated who had no connection with the team. The villagers were very dissatisfied with this and it was difficult to suppress the dissatisfaction.

If they knew that we had to spend the team’s money to build houses for the educated youth, they would probably make a scene, and even you would probably be kicked out of this house.”

"What should we do? If more educated youth come, the educated youth site will be too crowded to accommodate them," Zheng Jianmin frowned.

Liu Jingxue looked at the new educated youths, who looked worried. She was afraid that none of them were happy to live in a dormitory. She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.

"Captain, I think the expansion of the youth education center doesn't necessarily have to be borne entirely by the village."

Captain Zhang glanced at Liu Jingxue and said, "Liu Jingxue, if you have any ideas, you might as well speak up."

Liu Jingxue did not rush to answer. She first asked the other educated youth present, "If you can live in a separate room instead of a dormitory and cook your own food, and you only have to pay one or two yuan a month for rent, would you be willing to do so?"

Zhang Yingchun's eyes lit up, "I am happy with it. I definitely am happy with it."

After hearing this, Chen Guoqing and Zhang Pingan also expressed that they were willing to pay that little rent as long as they lived comfortably.

"Captain, look, it's over.

The educated youth who were better off were willing to pay to make themselves live more comfortably.

When expanding the educated youth camp, you should not build large dormitories. Just build some small rooms, and have a small stove in each room that can make a fire.

Once these single rooms are built, the village does not need to provide them to the educated youth for free, but rents them out and collects monthly rent. "

“Those who don’t want to pay for a single room can continue to live in the free dormitory room.

If you want to live alone, you can pay for a single room.

In this way, the village only needs to advance funds during the initial stage of building the house, and the money can be recovered later by collecting rent.

The money can be recovered later, and there may even be a slight surplus. I don’t think the villagers will object to the expansion of the youth training center.”

Captain Zhang was moved when he heard this. He looked at the educated youth present.

"What do you think of Liu Zhiqing's idea? Would you be willing to pay for a single room?"

"Captain, I don't know about the others, but as long as the monthly rent is not too high, I will definitely be happy.

I can book a room with you right now." Zhang Yingchun said hurriedly.

Zhang Pingan also echoed, "Captain, we two brothers also want one room each."

"It seems that if it is built into a single room, you are willing to pay for the rent," said Captain Zhang.

Zheng Jianmin said, “If it is really built into a single room, the educated youth with better conditions will be happy to rent it.

It’s just that the winter is cold in our place, so we have to have a kang in the single room, otherwise we won’t be able to survive the winter.”

Captain Zhang said, "That's for sure."

"Captain Zhang, when will we expand and when can we live in single rooms?" Zhang Yingchun asked.

Captain Zhang said, "It's definitely not possible this year. We are busy with the autumn harvest and don't have time to build houses.

After the autumn harvest, it snowed and the ground was frozen, so we couldn’t build a house. We had to wait until next year when the ground thawed.”

After hearing this, Zhang Yingchun suddenly became depressed again. This meant that she would have to sleep on a large bunk bed for several months.

Liu Jingxue looked at her with amusement, "At least you see hope now.

It will pass in a few months if you just bear with it. It is better than living in a dormitory all the time."

"Liu Zhiqing is right. It is better to have hope than to have no hope. I can overcome it." Zhang Yingchun encouraged herself.

Captain Zhang ordered, "Okay, take your luggage down.

Zheng Zhiqing, please introduce the people you need to them. Let them take a day off tomorrow to buy their things, and then take them to work the day after tomorrow morning.

After they are settled, they will go to the brigade headquarters to handle the formalities, and they will be lent food when they are led to the village. "

"Okay, Captain."

Captain Zhang turned to look at Liu Jingxue, "Liu Zhiqing, I'll take you to where you live."
