Chapter 52 Accommodation Problems for New Educated Youth

Hearing this, Lin Xiaomei immediately got angry again and retorted unhappily: "Village chief, it's almost autumn harvest time. The grain distributed last year was only enough for us to eat, so how could we share it with others? And how can we have the energy to work if we don't have enough to eat during the autumn harvest?"

Everyone looked at Lin Xiaomei speechlessly. When did they ask you to share the food? Who has enough food?

The village chief pursed his lips tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. He didn't know whether it was because of the new educated youth or because of Lin Xiaomei's words.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "We have seven more educated youths coming this time, and the front yard is no longer able to accommodate them..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Xiaomei, ever the impatient one, interrupted Village Chief Zhao: "You knew there was no room for you, yet you still accepted so many educated youth? Don't you know how big your place is?"

Jiang Yanqiu discovered a problem and felt that Lin Xiaomei was not afraid of Secretary Zhao at all.

Whether in the book or in reality today, Village Chief Zhao is a person who is obsessed with power, greedy for money and petty-minded.

But Lin Xiaomei repeatedly refused to give him face and embarrassed him, but he actually endured it!

This makes people suspect that there is an inside story!

Qiao Lei saw through the village chief's little trick. At the beginning of the book, only Gu Qingshi and Gu Qingqing went out to build a house.

The dormitory was full, so five educated youth came and had to change dormitories with both male and female educated youth before they could barely fit in.

Now, because Jiang Yanqiu and his team built two more houses, two more educated youth came.

If they give up one room this year, they will have to give up two next year. By then, the village will have to accept more new educated youth, so it is possible that they will have to give up all of them.

I felt that the village chief's behavior was a bit shameless. No wonder he agreed so readily to let them build houses in preparation for the village to receive new educated youth.

But who can blame them for being on someone else's territory? But she is definitely not someone who will be led by the nose!

So he said with a playful smile: "I think you, the village chief, are definitely not planning to occupy our house! Even the landlords in the past didn't dare to do that, so you wouldn't do that, would you?"

The old educated youth all looked at Qiao Lei in surprise. Could this person be contagious if they stayed together for a long time?

How come Qiao Lei, who is such a smart person, also likes to flatter others like Lin Xiaomei?

Qiao Lei also noticed everyone's expressions and immediately realized that she seemed to have gone a little too far.

He quickly explained, "Maybe I misunderstood. Village chief, you're asking us to give up our house. Building it cost at least 70 or 80 yuan, including all the expenses. Will you let the newly arrived educated youth subsidize us? Or will the village subsidize them and give me the money?"

Faced with Qiao Lei's questioning, the village chief remained silent, staring at her quietly without saying a word.

Seeing this, Qiao Lei didn't feel embarrassed and continued to speak harshly, "Anyway, the kang in my room can only accommodate one person at most. It's absolutely impossible for me to give up the house I worked so hard to build."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: Since only one person can live here, why are you still here complaining endlessly?

Village chief Zhao remained silent and continued to stare at the educated youth, with an unfathomable look in his eyes.

This silence made Qiao Lei and Lin Xiaomei gradually feel guilty, and a little uneasy arose in their hearts.

I regretted that I was too emotional and didn’t give the village chief face.

After a while, Village Chief Zhao looked at Lin Shaoyang and Gu Qingshi and said, "Gu Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing, can you take in two male educated youths? This male dormitory is really too full, and there is no suitable place to arrange it."

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Qiao Lei, as they had never intended to occupy their house.

But she only listened to half of what others said, chirping for a long time, and even accused Village Chief Zhao of occupying the educated youth's house.

It had nothing to do with her...

Gu Qingshi was about to refuse with a dark face, but Lin Shaoyang said first: "Village Chief, can we discuss this first before we reply to you?"

"It's okay. It's normal for you to disagree. I was wrong in the first place."

Previously, only four educated youth were arranged, but today three more were temporarily arranged. What could he do?

Lin Shaoyang pulled Gu Qingshi to the backyard before saying, "It's impossible to refuse. If something happens in the future, I'm afraid they'll use this as an excuse. All we can do now is fight for more benefits."

Their family is better off than the Gu family. His parents went to the southwest to support three branches and two armies, and were transferred back to the imperial capital last year.

It would be better to arrange an idle position for him, without any real power and without arousing envy, and the family's livelihood will be guaranteed.

Mr. Gu is currently under suspension and investigation. Nothing has been found out yet, and we don’t know what will happen in the future.

You can't do anything to them on their territory.

Village chief Zhao is still a person who likes to change with the situation, and now he has offended someone because of this.

If something really happens to the Gu family in the future, Gu Qingshi will probably have trouble moving around in the village.

"What interests are you fighting for?" Gu Qingshi was really speechless. He had proposed building a house just to have a comfortable space, but now he was making wedding dresses for others.

Although there are two rooms now, one of them has to be given to someone else after just a few days of use.

Having had his own room since childhood, Gu Qingshi was not used to sleeping on the same kang for a long time even with his good brothers.

"Give young educated youth Gu a lighter job. Her frequent leave is not good for her. The wheat harvest will begin in the next two days, and anyone who can move will have to go to work. No leave will be allowed. If you help her with the work every day, your body will not be able to bear it in the long run.

There's a saying here that "three springs are not as busy as one autumn." After the wheat harvest, you'll be working from home early and late for the next two months with no free time at all. You might not even be able to handle it, and you might not be able to take care of little Gu Zhiqing. It's better to take this opportunity to arrange an easy job for him."

Lin Shaoyang sometimes doesn't understand Gu Qingshi. You say he is stupid, but he is smarter than anyone else in doing things.

You say he is smart, but sometimes he can't understand simple things.

Gu Qingshi also reacted and said, "Thanks, brother."

The two men called the village chief to the backyard. After listening to their request, Village Chief Zhao agreed without hesitation and said, "Okay, let's arrange for her to dry the wheat during the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, Yang Yumei will get married, and then she will be assigned to the third team as a tool keeper."

Everything will be fine if they can give up the rooms, otherwise they will really build a new youth settlement.

The commune had already quietly given more subsidies, making it impossible for the educated youth to live with the villagers again.

It is impossible for the village to stop building houses for educated youth.

But before that, there were nearly a hundred educated youths but they had not built any educated youth centers.

There are only a few coming every year, and people go back to the city from time to time. Wouldn’t it be a waste for them to build another youth educated youth center?

But we cannot force people to live in the houses of the old educated youth. Now the authorities attach great importance to the issue of educated youth.

He dared to occupy the house of the educated youth, and he would definitely be in trouble if the educated youth made trouble.
