Chapter 18: Cannon Fodder Educated Youth in Period Literature 5

After the team leader left, the old educated youth introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Lu Jianguo, I am 22 years old, from Shanghai, I have been in Qingshan Brigade for three years, and now I am the person in charge of the educated youth site. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."

Afterwards, everyone briefly introduced themselves to each other.

"Hello, my name is Liu Tao, I'm eighteen years old, and I'm from Beijing."

"Hello, my name is Li Hongxing, I'm eighteen years old, and I'm also from Beijing."

"Hello, my name is Chen Aidang, I'm 19 years old, and I'm also from Beijing."

"Hello, my name is Zhou Qing, I'm 17 years old, and I'm also from Beijing."

"Hello, my name is Shen Yue, I'm 16 years old, and I'm from Beijing like everyone else."

After introducing each other, Lu Jianguo took everyone inside to put their luggage while introducing the situation at the educated youth site to everyone.

"There is one dormitory for men and women in our educated youth camp. The boys' dormitory is on the left and the girls' dormitory is on the right. Currently, there are only three male educated youths and five female educated youths in our educated youth camp, including me. You go in first and put your luggage away. I will take you to the brigade headquarters to get your rations."

After hearing what he said, everyone went in and put down their luggage. Shen Yue looked around the girls' dormitory. There was a large kang in the room, big enough for seven or eight people to sleep, with five sets of bedding neatly folded on it.

Zhou Qing looked at the room and felt uncomfortable, so she quietly pulled Shen Yue and said, "Yueyue, will it be inconvenient for so many people to live in one room? I always have my own room at home, and I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt."

Shen Yue was delighted to hear her say this, as she had just been planning to move out and live alone.

"Qingqing, me too. Although my house is not big, it is enough for my brother and I to live in a separate room. I am used to living alone, but I am not used to living with so many people. Do you think we can talk to the team leader about building a house for ourselves?"

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up when she heard this. Yes, she was not short of money. Her parents gave her a thousand yuan before she went to the countryside. It would definitely be more comfortable to build a house by herself than to live in the educated youth camp.

After all, I am not short of money. I will definitely need to add snacks to myself frequently when working so hard in the future. It is always inconvenient to stay at the educated youth site. And Yueyue's family is not short of money at a glance. My personality is compatible with hers. It will definitely be more comfortable for the two of us to go out and live alone than to be with so many people.

Whatever came to mind, I said directly: "Yes, Yueyue, we can talk to the team leader and build a house to live in. At least it will be more comfortable than here."

Shen Yue nodded, and they both smiled in tacit understanding.

After putting away the luggage, they went out to meet up with the others. Lu Jianguo led them as he introduced: "We only grow one crop of food a year here. The winter is very cold and long, so we are basically only busy for half a year. The rest of the time we are basically hibernating."

"Besides, the grain production here is not bad. There is a big green mountain behind the village. We can also pick some mountain products in the fall. As long as people are not lazy, they will definitely be able to eat their fill."

Along the way, Lu Jianguo also introduced several households to them, such as which one was the team leader's home, which one could exchange tofu, which one did carpentry work, etc.

When everyone arrived at the brigade headquarters, the brigade leader was already waiting. Seeing that everyone was there, he spoke: "You new educated youth have no work points when you first arrive, so the village will lend you 30 kilograms of grain, 70 kilograms of corn and kilograms of sorghum flour. Next year, when you have work points, the grain will be deducted from your work points."

"There is a cart next to you. Remember to return the cart after you pull the food back. Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back and rest. You will have a day off tomorrow and will officially start work the day after tomorrow."

After delivering the food back with everyone, Shen Yue and Zhou Qing did not take a rest. They each carried a bulging small bag and walked out.

Following my memory, I came to the captain's house and stood outside the yard and shouted, "Is the captain home?"

Soon, the team leader came out. It was almost time to get off work, so he distributed food to everyone and did not go to the fields.

Seeing the two girls coming to the door: "What's the matter? Come in and talk."

Then he welcomed the two into the living room. Shen Yue and Zhou Qing each took out the prepared things from their bags. Shen Yue took a pound of brown sugar and a can of fruit, while Zhou Qing took half a pound of fruit candy and a pound of egg cake.

The two put their things on the table. The captain immediately refused: "Shen Zhiqing, Zhou Zhiqing, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Take back all the things."

Shen Yue and the other man looked at each other, and Shen Yue said, "Captain, it's not a good thing, I just brought it to sweeten the mouths of my children at home, you can't refuse it."

Zhou Qing also said, "Yes, Captain, these are things I brought from home. They didn't cost much. Just accept them."

Seeing the two of them like this, the captain stopped shirking his responsibilities. He knew that they had something to ask him, so he said, "Okay, then I will shamelessly accept it. What's the matter with you two?"

Seeing that he accepted the things, Shen Yue didn't beat around the bush: "Captain, we are here to ask for your help. We want to move out of the educated youth camp and live alone. What are the requirements for building a house in this village?"

When the captain heard that they were going to move out, he frowned, but then he thought again, these two girls, no matter their dress or temperament, did not seem to be from ordinary families, so their families must be well off.

He must be clear about the conditions for the educated youth. Given their conditions, it is normal for them to want to live alone.

He said, "It may take some time before you can live in a house after it is built, but there is a ready-made house at the end of the village. If you find someone to repair it, you can move in directly."

When Zhou Qing heard that there was a chance, she quickly said, "Uncle Captain, is there a ready-made house in the village?"

The captain nodded and said, "That house belonged to a hunter in the village. After the hunter passed away, his son was in the army and didn't plan to come back, so he asked the village to deal with the house. However, the house is only for sale and not for rent. The villagers disliked it because it was too far back, at the foot of the mountain, and few rural families have the money to buy a house now."

After hearing this, the two looked at each other and nodded. Shen Yue said, "Uncle, it's still early. Can you take us to see the house first?"

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you there first."

As they spoke, the two of them followed the team leader out and went to the house. It was indeed located far away from the village entrance, with the nearest house being nearly 300 meters away. However, perhaps because it was close to the mountain, the house was built with stones, and the yard was also very high and also built with stones, so it was still very solid.

Even the roof is not made of thatch but green tiles. There is a kitchen, three bedrooms, and a small storage room. The living room also has a kang, and it is said that the room also has a warm wall.

A toilet and a bathroom were built at the corner of the yard, which the two of them liked very much.

There is a peach tree, a well and a deserted vegetable field in the yard. The well was built for the convenience of getting water because it is far away from the village. The house has been empty for less than a year and only needs to be inspected and repaired before it can be moved in soon.

Shen Yue and Zhou Qing looked very satisfied, so Zhou Qing asked, "Uncle, how much does this house cost?"

The captain thought for a moment and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. This house is located a little off the beaten track, but the materials used are top-notch, and there's a well, so it must be expensive, otherwise it would have been bought by the villagers long ago."

Shen Yue also thinks so. The layout and quality of this house are very good, and it is obvious that it is not cheap.
