"Comrade Chang Hua, are you saying that we are not human beings?" Captain Qian looked at Chang Hua seriously.

The villagers outside were also staring at Chang Hua with anger. They said that everyone was not human. How could anyone be happy? Many families' conditions were not as good as those of the educated youths' camp, so everyone was a beast. She was the only human being who could not live in such a house.

"Why can't you build the house better?" Chang Hua said unhappily.

"This is the condition in our village. Your family is better off, so you can go back!" Captain Qian was hoping that such a troublemaker would get out of here. With such a troublemaker around, he would live a few years less.

Chang Hua was choked by Captain Qian's words. If she could go back, why would she need to go to the countryside? Those who could go to the countryside but didn't have any skills at home would definitely not be able to go back in a short time.

Captain Qian called out all the new educated youths who had arrived today and said to them, "You all received subsidies when you signed up to go to the countryside. If you don't want to live in the dormitory, you can build a house with your own money. You can even build a thatched house like the one next door. I'm giving you a chance to choose. Do you want to build a house or not?"

The newcomers looked at each other, and no one spoke.

"Okay, since you all don't want to build houses, it means you all want to live in dormitories. Since you have chosen to live in dormitories, don't bother yourself with housing issues in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. Tomorrow you will take a day off and buy things. The day after tomorrow you will go to work with the old educated youth. You will come to the brigade headquarters to collect your food later."

After Captain Qian finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and left.

If her family is capable, or she can find a job, she would not have to go to the countryside. However, after going to the countryside, she cannot recognize her own identity and still wants to live the same way as before at home. Does she really think that everyone outside is her parent and will spoil her like her parents do?

Children really need to be educated well from an early age. If they are spoiled like this, they will sooner or later become a disaster.

Chang Hua felt embarrassed when she heard the villagers outside the door pointing and talking about her. She stomped her feet in anger and turned into the girls' dormitory, while everyone else also went into the dormitory.

Although they also disliked the accommodation conditions, they had to live here. Some of them did not know how to cook, and they built houses outside but did not have anyone to cook for them.

Some people don't have much money and are reluctant to build a house. They think it's better to keep the money themselves. After all, they can't take the house they build with them, and it will only cost money to others.

When they arrived at the dormitory, even though some people were reluctant, they still had to pack their things. After all, it was already evening when they got here, and it would soon be dark. They were also very tired and needed to rest.

"What are your names?" Zuo Qiuyi asked.

Now that she has become an old educated youth, she can exercise her "leadership" power and assign tasks to the newcomers.

"My name is Chang Hua." said the female educated youth who had no emotional intelligence and dared to openly despise the educated youth site.

"My name is Shao Qiaoyun." Although Shao Qiaoyun's clothes had no patches, they were washed white, which showed that her family conditions were very ordinary.

"My name is Feng Xintong." Feng Xintong, who was wearing little leather shoes, said in a somewhat arrogant tone. It was not that she did not want to build a house, but her mother taught her that when she came to the countryside, she should be like everyone else and not be too high-profile so as not to bring trouble to herself.

Zuo Qiuyi looked at Feng Xintong's dress and felt jealous. The temperament of a rich person could be seen at a glance. Why was Feng Xintong so well-off that she wore such good clothes even when she went to the countryside?

Wang Xinru sat on her bunk, leaning against the wall. She didn't care about everyone's conversation, but was seriously flipping through the book on her legs.

She saw a lot of study books at Wenxi's house, and later went to the bookstore in the county town to buy books. Wenxi never forgot to study when he went to the countryside and waited for the opportunity, so she naturally couldn't fall behind.

Although she didn't know whether reading was useful, it could help kill time. After all, everyone at the educated youth site had their own thoughts, and she didn't dare to make close friends with them.

Feng Xintong nodded towards Wang Xinru and asked, "What's your name, comrade who is reading?"

"Wang Xinru." Wang Xinru didn't want to say anything more.

As soon as Feng Xintong entered the door, she saw Wang Xinru's appearance. She originally thought that she was very good-looking and that there would definitely be a bunch of inexperienced peasants chasing after her and coaxing her when she came to the countryside. She didn't expect that Wang Xinru was so much more beautiful than her. For a moment, she felt a strong sense of jealousy.

Why is there someone trying to steal her limelight even though she has come to the countryside?

"Wang Xinru, why are you reading? Hasn't the college entrance examination been suspended for many years?" Feng Xintong asked in confusion.

"Oh, I want to be a teacher in the commune primary school, so I'm preparing in advance and trying to pass the exam to be a teacher in the commune primary school next time." Wang Xinru curled her lips. Who can't talk nonsense?

Nowadays, each job is assigned a specific position, and many positions are reserved internally, so outsiders can’t get the job just because they want to. Wang Xinru just wanted to find an excuse to read!

Otherwise, everyone might think she knows something!

"When will the commune primary school recruit teachers?" Feng Xintong asked tentatively.

"I don't know." Wang Xinru shook her head.

Feng Xintong curled her lips. She didn't know when they would recruit teachers, so it would be useless to start reading books now.

"Why are there so few people at the educated youth point? Is there something going on? Can you tell me about it?" Chang Hua asked curiously.

"There are quite a few educated youths in our camp, more than 20 in total, but many of them rent houses outside. Gu Huaian, Li Jianguo, Lu Mingxiu and Xu Mengying live there, Tian Shengnan, Song Lan and Zhou Bai live there, Wen Xi, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue live there, and Cheng Yu, Gu Xiangbei and Jiang Mo live in a thatched hut next door. The three of them are teachers at the brigade's primary school! Wu Guoqiang and Wang Caiyun live in another thatched hut, and they are married."

"There is also Liang Zhaodi. She married Lu Xiaoyun, a former educated youth. Her husband had an accident, and now she lives alone. Her house is not small. If you are interested, you can go and talk to Liang Zhaodi. And Chu Waner and Xu Huaying both married people in the village and don't live in the educated youth site, so there seem to be quite few people here." Zuo Qiuyi said.

"That Xu Mengying seems to be a woman, right? How could she live with three men?" Feng Xintong had a gossipy look on her face.

"Xu Mengying and Gu Huaian were childhood sweethearts. They got married, so Xu Mengying moved in with Gu Huaian." Zuo Qiuyi looked proud when she spoke, as if she was very proud to know these things. "If you want to live with a man, you can also find a man to marry."
