Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder

The three of them went into the captain's house before it got dark.

"Knock knock knock, is the captain at home?" Fang Wenhua asked while knocking on the door.

"At home, at home." Huazi's wife opened the door and saw three educated youths. She looked a little unhappy. There was nothing she could do. Most of these educated youths were not likable, except for educated youth Qiao who had done a favor to her sister-in-law and educated youth Ma who was good friends with Qiao.

"Dad, Lin Zhiqing, Fang Zhiqing, and Yang Zhiqing are here. They want to see you."

"Come in." To be honest, the team leader didn't like the educated youth either, but he couldn't just ignore them. So, on weekdays, he could only turn a blind eye to them.

"Is there a problem?"

"That's right, Captain. The three of us want to move out on our own like the educated youths Qiao and Ma." As the male among the three, Fang Wenhua was the one who asked the questions.

The team leader's eyes lit up when he heard about building houses. After all, building houses required buying residential land, which was a good opportunity to generate income for the team. If possible, he hoped that the remaining educated youth at the educated youth site would come to him to buy residential land and build houses, so that the money distributed to the team members at the end of the year would be much more.

"Do you know the rules for building houses in the brigade? You have to pay for the land to build a house. If you live in the brigade after the house is built, it's fine. But if you leave the brigade, the house must be left to the brigade and cannot be bought or sold."

"Don't worry, Captain. Qiao and Ma Zhiqing have already discussed this before we came and they know the rules." The implication is that you don't have to worry because we already knew it in advance.

"I see. Since you already understand, there's no need for me to explain further."

"But there's something I need to trouble you with, Captain. You know we're new here and don't know a lot of things, so we still need your help. We need you to help us find the craftsmen who will build the house, and..."

"I can help you find the craftsmen who will build Fang Zhiqing's house. Our brigade has many skilled builders. And the autumn harvest is over now, so we can use the labor to help you build your house."

"Just let me say something upfront. I can help you find the labor, but it's definitely not free. You should understand that." Zhang Jianguo quickly took over the conversation. He couldn't let them ask for too much and come to him for everything. Either he was afraid of trouble or he was afraid that his efforts would be in vain.

"I understand, I understand. Don't worry, Captain, we will do the same as what happened to Qiao Zhiqing and the others back then."

"We've discussed the wages. You'll need to find the building materials yourselves, and you'll need to discuss the order of building. Besides these, there's also the issue of food supply. Normally, everyone who builds a house in the brigade will be provided with lunch. You can discuss how to do it when the time comes." Zhang Jianguo couldn't say that he disliked the three educated youth in front of him, but he certainly didn't have as good an impression of them as he did of Qiao and Ma. So he had to make some things clear in advance to avoid causing trouble for himself.

"Don't worry, we'll find the materials ourselves. We'll let you know the construction sequence in advance, but we don't know how much material we'll need, so we might need your help calculating it. As for food, the three of us are still living at the educated youth camp, so cooking isn't very convenient. We'll factor that into our wages."

"That's no problem." Calculating the building materials was a trivial matter for Zhang Jianguo, and he could still help, otherwise it would make him seem unkind as a team leader. The workers wouldn't object to not providing lunch and charging them money. After all, they didn't know if their lunch was good or not, so it was better to just pay them.

Then he wrote down the calculated materials on a piece of paper and handed it to Fang Wenhua. As for how the three of them purchased the materials, he didn't care. He would help where he could, but he would not take over anything else that was beyond his scope.

"Captain, please take a rest. We'll come and let you know as soon as the materials arrive. We'll be in your good graces then."

The three of them said goodbye and walked towards the Youth League Home. As soon as they left the team leader's house, Yang Jingshu spoke.

"Brother Wenhua, please help me build the house first. You know I've never lived with so many people since I was a child. I've had enough of this period and want to move out soon. Please think of me first when the time comes. But you're helping an outsider. You have to know that we are the closest people."

"Jingshu, I've told you countless times that we've been sent to the countryside. Here, you should call me by my name or Fang Zhiqing. Don't call me brother. We're not at home. We're both old. Be careful of the impact."

"Brother Wenhua, how can you say that to me? You were not like this before. People always called you Brother Wenhua before! Did someone ask you to treat me like this?" As he said this, he looked at Lin Xue viciously.

Lin Xue was also helpless. She hadn't said a word since she left the captain's house, so how could it be her fault again? Just as she was about to speak, Fang Wenhua spoke.

"Yang Jingshu, please stop spitting bloody words at me. No one has ever come to me to say anything bad about you. This is just my own opinion. After all, we are grown-ups and it's impossible for us to get along like children anymore. So you don't have to treat Lin Zhiqing like this. You need to apologize to him."

"Brother Wenhua, wuwuwu, I don't want to pay attention to you anymore. I'm going to tell my aunt that you are mean to me." After saying that, she ran away crying.

Fang Wenhua felt helpless watching Yang Jingshu running away. He knew that this little girl from the Lin family liked him, and even signed up to accompany him to the countryside when he didn't need to go there. However, he really only treated her as a sister and usually kept a proper distance from her. But he didn't expect the little girl to be so stubborn.

He had no choice but to apologize to Lin Xue on behalf of Yang Jingshu: "I'm sorry, Lin Zhiqing. Jingshu is still young and has been spoiled by her family. You shouldn't bother with her."

Looking at Fang Wenhua in front of her, Lin Xue didn't know what to say. This person liked her but always agreed to other girls' requests. She really didn't know what to say.

I could only speak calmly, "Fang Zhiqing, first of all, I've been caught in an unexpected disaster, and it's not just once. Also, Yang Zhiqing seems to be the same age as me, maybe even two months older. And for the building materials, you only need to prepare yours and Yang Zhiqing's share. I'll take care of mine."

Fortunately, I don't have such a good impression of this Fang Zhiqing now, otherwise I would be nauseous to hear him speak for other women like this. After saying this, he walked quickly towards the Zhiqing courtyard.

I had just written down the materials needed for building a house at the team leader's house. Fortunately, I had some connections in the black market during this period, so it was not difficult to prepare these things. Otherwise, if I wanted to move out, I might have to ask Fang Zhiqing for help just to get the materials for building a house.

Fortunately, fortunately, I did not indulge in love affairs. It turns out that career is the most important thing.

Thinking of this, Lin Xue became even more determined to pursue her career.
