Become a burden in a period novel

After the two old educated youths explained some things about the village, everyone had some understanding of the current situation.

"So we don't live in the educated youth camp anymore?" Gu Qingyang asked.

After all, there were not enough houses at the educated youth site, and so many of them definitely couldn't live there.

"We thought it would take some time for you to come, so the brigade didn't make any preparations." The male educated youth team leader Wei Guo said, "I guess they are discussing how to arrange for you."

The house at the educated youth site was not very big, with only four rooms in total, and half of the room had to be used as a kitchen. Several people were squeezed into one room.

Now the room for the female educated youth can accommodate two people, while the room for the male educated youth can only accommodate one person at most.

Originally, the team leader and his colleagues wanted to expand the educated youth site during the slack season, but before they could start work, new educated youth arrived.

In recent years, batches of educated youth have arrived, but not many of them have been able to leave the countryside and return to the city, which leaves these old educated youth with almost no hope.

But they didn't want to accept their fate, so they stayed in the educated youth center and did not choose to settle down in the countryside.

Although these educated youth were quite popular in the countryside, they were unwilling to stay there forever.

Although the chances of returning to the city are slim now, if they settle down in the countryside, there will be no hope at all.

"But we can still arrange for two or three more people here. The others will probably have to stay at the homes of fellow villagers." Liang Hong, the female educated youth team leader, said, "Of course, you can also choose to eat with the fellow villagers, or you can come and eat with us."

In fact, the team leader had already told them about this arrangement, but they did not expect that so many educated youth would come this time, and they would be brought back directly by the team leader without going through the commune.

"At the fellow villager's home?" They didn't know what the situation was like at the educated youth camp, but they had seen the situation here along the way and didn't have any expectations for their fellow villager's home.

"But the time you came is not a good one. Everyone is busy now. Otherwise, the house can be built in a few days, and you won't have to live in your fellow villagers' homes." Liang Hong sighed.

If they had come after the summer harvest, when everyone was free and the weather was hot, the adobe bricks would dry quickly. If everyone worked together, they would probably have been able to build a few more houses quickly to accommodate the new group of educated youth.

"Are you busy now?" Dong Shaofang asked.

"Yes, the summer harvest has just begun, and we have just returned from the fields. We will have to continue working soon." Wei Guo actually wanted to delay for a while longer. After all, this was serious business, and it did not count as asking for leave, so his work points should not be deducted.

"Summer harvest?" Lin Ye had never heard of this term. In his impression, isn't it usually autumn harvest?

"Yes, summer harvest. It will be busy for a long time, but the winter here is not particularly cold, so it is relatively idle." After the summer harvest, the autumn harvest will soon come, and then the soil will have to be turned over, ridges will be made, and wheat will be planted. This is the case in the countryside. There are a lot of things to do, and there are very few times throughout the year when you can really relax.

But don't tell them now, otherwise they might not be able to accept it.

They will know it sooner or later anyway. Even if they know it now, they can't go back to the city and can only accept it.

These old educated youth have adapted to this kind of life. Although they still cannot work as hard as the villagers, they can support themselves.

I just don’t know how long it will take these newly arrived educated youth to adapt to life here.

They chatted for a while, and when the sunset in the sky was about to lose its brilliant colors, the bell for the end of work finally rang.

Gradually, they saw many people returning carrying farm tools.

The team leader also appeared at this time, accompanying another middle-aged man. They were also in the crowd, slowly walking towards this side.

Seeing these people with big and small bags around them, the villagers looked over here curiously. They all knew that there were new educated youth coming today, and they thought these people were the new educated youth who came this year.

However, they were not very curious about these new educated youth, but rather they were somewhat repulsive. After all, these people did not do any work, but they wanted to share their food rations, so how could they welcome these new educated youth?

After queuing up to register their farm tools and calculating their work points, they wanted to leave, but were kept back by the team leader.

"Everyone, come over here for the meeting after you finish your meal. We have something to discuss. Please inform each other when you return. One person from each family must be present!"

After the captain finished speaking, he walked over here.

After hearing what the captain said, the others knew that what he was going to say would probably be related to these new educated youth.

Just now they took a look and found that there were quite a few new educated youth coming this year, but the educated youth site could not accommodate them all. In addition, with so many new educated youth needing to be accommodated, food rations and other things had to be prepared in advance, so they really needed to hold a meeting to discuss it.

"You must be the new educated youth who came here this year. Welcome! Welcome!" Although he said welcome, Qin Wangshu really didn't see any welcoming look on his face.

After all, the team leader had received the educated youth several times, so he naturally knew what they were like.

It would be strange for the captain to be happy with a group of "freeloaders" like this, but this is the national policy.

When the educated youth first arrived, the team leader was very happy. After all, these were "top students" from big cities, and they might be able to bring some changes to their small place.

It’s a pity that these educated youth not only could not help them, but they also looked down on them.

They were afraid of hard work and were always lazy. Not to mention that after they came, the young people in the team were confused.

But the team leader knew that these educated youth's hearts were not here. They only wanted to return to the city, so it was impossible for them to really take root here. Not to mention that they looked down on these "country people", so how could they really choose these peasants as their other half?

Seeing that several more female educated youth had arrived this time, the team leader had a headache, especially because among these female educated youth there was a particularly small one, Qin Wangshu.

It’s obvious at first glance that these people are incapable of working. They probably can’t even get the minimum work points.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Now that you're here, you can feel at ease. Although we're not as wealthy as your home, at least you won't go hungry. You've just arrived, so if you need anything, just ask." The captain had a very good attitude and a kind smile on his face.
