Quick Wear: True and False Life

Chapter 43 Fake Gold in the Period Literature 4

After the old and new educated youth arrived, the village chief also arrived. Lu Chengming whispered a few words to his old father, and the village chief motioned for him to wait.

"I am the village chief of Shanghe Village. Because there are too many educated youth, the Youth Courtyard can only accommodate one male and two female comrades. The rest will be arranged to live in the villagers' homes. Now the new educated youths have reported that they want to live in the Youth Courtyard for three people." The village chief briefly explained the situation to the new educated youths, and then let them make their own choices and wait for the results.

"I choose to live in the Youth League Home." Ye Qiao was thin and small, wearing a washed-out white shirt and black pants. He replied in a low voice timidly.

"I also choose to live in the Youth League Home." Bai Wenjing believes that living with the villagers is also very risky, so she chooses to live in the Youth League Home directly so that she can get some help if something happens.

"Then I will live here with the educated youth too." Guo Jiawei said immediately after seeing Bai Wenjing had already made her choice.

"Okay, there are exactly three of us. Comrade Li Xuebing, please take this educated youth back and make arrangements for him." The village chief said to Li Xuebing, the leader among the old educated youth.

"Village chief, I got it." Li Xuebing nodded to the village chief to indicate that he would make arrangements. He then asked the old educated youth who had followed him to help move things and led them into the educated youth compound.

"Okay, the rest is to arrange accommodation in the villagers' homes. However, a new educated youth just asked if there are any vacant houses for rent in the village. There are definitely vacant houses, but they are a few years old. After renting them, you have to repair them yourself. The rent is determined according to the house."

"Now, discuss your own situations and tell me your choice." After saying that, the village chief took a puff of his pipe and waited silently.

After Fang Nan heard what the other people had almost discussed, he directly told them the answer.

"Village chief, my name is Qi Jianyuan. Li Qin and Yang Yue have chosen to live in the villagers' homes." Qi Jianyuan told the village chief the results of the discussion.

"Li Qin was assigned to Lu Dahai's family, Qi Jianyuan was assigned to Lu Yang's family, and Yang Yue was assigned to Lu Chengrui's family." The village chief thought for a while and said.

"Okay, Lu Dahai, Lu Yang, and Lu Chengrui's family, take the people away." The village chief shouted around and gestured for the people to be taken away quickly.

The three families helped to carry the packages and rushed home. After moving the packages, they had to go back to work. They were very busy.

"Okay, there are only three of you left. Tell me the situation and look at the house." The village chief turned around and looked at the three of them.

"Village chief, my name is Fang Nan, and I want to rent a three-room apartment with a small courtyard." Fang Nan thought about it and decided that since he lived alone, it would be best if he had a bedroom, living room, and kitchen.

"Village chief, Xie Yan and I are childhood friends. We plan to rent a house together. The conditions are similar to those proposed by Comrade Fang." Zhang Cheng and Xie Yan came from the same compound and had a good relationship. They planned to live together so that they could take care of each other.

The village chief thought about the general situation of the village and thought of two suitable places. One was near the foot of the mountain at the end of the village, relatively close to Niu Peng. It was the surviving residence of an elderly widower. There were three rooms in a row, with earthen kangs on both sides, a hall in the middle, and a wing room on each side, surrounded by a yard. It was built when the old man's son, who was a soldier, was still alive. After the old man left, the house was taken back by the village and has been empty ever since. The other house belonged to a young couple. After they followed the army, the house became empty and was entrusted to the village. It had three main rooms and a fire room, and the yard was relatively small.

The village chief explained the situation to the three people and suggested that the men choose the foot of the mountain and the women choose the village, as safety is very important.

"Village chief, I want to choose the place at the foot of the mountain. Don't worry about its safety. Look." Fang Nan took the initiative before the other two spoke, then picked up a palm-sized stone at his feet and crushed it hard. It broke into pieces in an instant.

Fang Nan suppressed everyone present with just one move. She also wanted to avoid unnecessary premature shock, but her move was so shocking that even the village chief didn't react. He reflexively rented the place at the foot of the mountain to Fang Nan for 2 yuan a month.

Fang Nan quickly seized the opportunity to pay three years' rent, and also asked the village chief to ask the villagers to help with repairs, with a deposit of 20 yuan. He did not come to his senses until he had 92 yuan in his hand.

However, since the matter was settled, the village chief did not hesitate. He collected the money and rented another place to Zhang Cheng and Xie Yan for 2 yuan per month. He then instructed his eldest son and his wife to send Fang Nan to live at the foot of the mountain, and his youngest son and his wife to send Zhang Cheng and Xie Yan to live in the village.

The village chief now has to go to the village to find people to repair these two houses while the day is long and it is not dark after work. It will only take three or four days if it is fast. There is no major damage to the main structure of the house, so it is no problem to live in it for a few nights.

Arriving at the yard at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village, Fang Nan put down the package and asked Lu Chengming and his wife to help clean up. Even his son Lu Jianye and daughter Lu Qi came to do some simple chores.

Being well-behaved and obedient is always more popular. Fang Nan pretended to take something out of her bag and took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and shared them with the brother and sister.

With the help of several people, Fang Nan quickly cleaned the yard inside and out. It was getting dark when she finished cleaning. She took out paper and wrapped four meat buns for Lu Chengming to take back.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, thank you for your help. Take these buns back and try them." Fang Nan stuffed a paper bag into Aunt Lu's hand when he was seeing Lu Chengming and others out of the yard.

"What are you thanking me for? I'll come to Aunt Lu if I have any problems in the future." Zhang Meihua said happily, holding the paper bag. It was rare to see such a generous and non-nosy girl. She was happy to help and answered generously.

After seeing off Lu Chengming and his family, Fang Nan was also hungry. She took out the rice and braised pork she had bought for lunch, found a broken wooden stool to sit on under the steps and started eating. After eating, she went to the yard to get some water to wash her hands.

Fortunately, there is a well in the yard, so water is very convenient. The monthly rent of 2 yuan is quite worth it. There are fewer villagers here, and it is far away from the Youth League Institute, so the environment is quiet. The most important thing is that it is very close to my grandfather Lu Mingyu's house, which is convenient for the mission.

After it got completely dark, Fang Nan made his bed and rested. After a busy day, he was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he laid on the pillow for the whole night.

Hearing the voice on the loudspeaker urging people to go to work, Fang Nan got up immediately, ate a meat bun, put all the important items into the space, locked the gate and went to get the tools.

Fang Nan was assigned to the second brigade and was in the same group as Aunt Cui from Lu Changhe's family to pull weeds. They pulled weeds for the whole morning. It was his first time doing it, so he was on par with Aunt Cui. Fortunately, he had picked up cultivation in the past two or three years, otherwise he would have suffered. In the afternoon, he hurried to get back ten kilograms of food because he had to cook for himself in the evening.

I ate the last bun at noon, picked some figs from the space and ate them. After a short lunch break, it was time to go back to work.

When I went to work at noon, I had more contact with Aunt Cui. After getting to know each other, I learned that Aunt Cui had three sons and two daughters. All the daughters were married, one to the neighboring village and the other to the town. The eldest son was married, the second son was a soldier and unmarried, and the youngest son was born a little mentally retarded, but it did not affect his normal life.

The family is quite kind. In this era, being able to maintain a family with a mentally retarded child shows that the family members have good character.

At this time, Fang Nan didn't know that the reincarnation of the fragment he had been thinking about was just around the corner.
