"The large courtyard in front is the educated youth housing complex of our brigade. Our Yuanshan Commune has a small adobe brick factory. People in the commune can usually buy adobe bricks at a cheaper price, and they don't need a ticket. Two years ago, the educated youth office in the city gave the brigade money to build the educated youth housing complex. The cadres of our brigade used all that money to build a courtyard for you educated youth. The remaining money bought some old stone bricks to pave the ground for you, so that you won't feel uncomfortable living in our rural adobe houses."

I have to say that the Qishui Brigade is really a conscientious brigade. Many brigades would have done a great job if they could build a new adobe house for the educated youth with the money. Some even directly repaired the old and dilapidated houses in the village for the educated youth to live in.

Moreover, Bai Nuo had already inquired before he came. The members of the Qishui Brigade were very united. As long as the educated youth did not cause trouble, the team members would not exclude or isolate them. Although they were not as warm as they were with their own people, at least there would be no deliberate bullying or suppression.

Bai Nuo suddenly thought of the person who deliberately arranged for him to go to the countryside, and subconsciously used his spiritual sense to look at the small cloth bag that she threw into the space.

This was something that was suddenly stuffed into her arms when she went to the toilet on the train. There were a lot of people on the train at that time. When she caught up with the person, he had disappeared. Just in case, she didn't open the cloth bag and threw it directly into the space.

Now looking at this brigade with beautiful environment, a serious and responsible team leader, and mostly simple and kind team members, she suddenly felt that perhaps the person who arranged for her to go to the countryside was her grandmother's man, and the person who gave her the cloth bag might also be her grandmother's man.

Otherwise, if he had a grudge against her family, how could he arrange for her to live in such a good place?

Bai Nuo walked silently towards the educated youth compound. Just as he reached the door, he saw the team leader push open the door and shout inside: "Xie Zhiqing, the new educated youth has arrived, please come out and greet them."

"Hey, here we come."

After this response, a tall, dark, thin, but strong-looking young man ran out from inside.

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain."

"Of course, of course. These are the new educated youth who came to the countryside. I've already explained the food issue to them. The rest is up to you. There's still a lot of work to do in the fields, so my father and I will leave first."

"Okay, no problem. Thank you, Captain, and thank you, Uncle Wei." Xie Zhiqing smiled warmly, with a look of steadiness and righteousness in his eyes. He must be a good person.

"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask Xie Zhiqing. He has lived in our brigade for five years. You guys should get along well with each other here in the future, and don't cause trouble for me, okay?" The brigade leader said a few words to the new educated youths with a fierce face, and then he and Uncle Wei sat in the ox cart to the other side.

Several new educated youths quickly thanked and agreed, then said goodbye very straightforwardly. As for what happens in the future... let's talk about it later.

Xie Weidong looked at the clean faces in front of him and smiled. "Alright, come in. It's spring plowing time now. There aren't many people in the village. The other educated youth have gone to work. I'll take you to the educated youth courtyard to get familiar with it first."

Several people hurriedly picked up their luggage and moved into the yard. Because they didn't know which house they would live in, they temporarily placed the luggage on the ground after bringing it into the yard.

When Bai Nuo stepped into the yard, the reminder sound in his mind that had been silent for a long time rang again.

"Ding, a special check-in location has been detected. After checking in, you will receive a raffle ticket for the Educated Youth Gift Pack. Host, do you want to check in?"

Bai Nuo blinked lightly and replied without changing his expression: "Check in."

"Ding, check-in successful. The special lottery ticket for the Educated Youth Gift Pack has been placed in the mall grid space. It is valid for 24 hours. Please participate in the lottery in time."

Xie Weidong pointed to a large row of houses facing the main gate and said, "The three houses in the front row are the shared dormitories for the educated youth. The men are on the left, and the women are on the right. They all sleep in large bunk beds, and there's a shared kitchen in the middle. On the left side of this row of houses are the men's bathrooms and toilets, and on the right are the women's bathrooms and toilets."

Then, Xie Weidong pointed to the two small rooms on the right by the courtyard wall and said, "One of them is a shared firewood room, and the other is a shared utility room. The small vegetable patch next to it is our private plot of land. The vegetables grown there are grown by the educated youth themselves. There's also a well in the courtyard, which the team leader had dug specifically for us. It makes water very convenient."

After Xie Weidong finished introducing these public areas, he pointed to the two rows of small houses on the left and said, "These two rows of houses are single rooms that the brigade rents out to educated youth. They cost 20 yuan a year, which seems a bit expensive, but it's only 1.6 yuan a month. And the mud brick houses are much cleaner than the adobe houses.

However, there's no kang (fireplace), so you'll have to find someone to repair it yourself. As long as the house isn't demolished, the residents can arrange any renovations themselves, including the single courtyard you see, which they hired someone to build. If anyone wants to rent it, you can take a look; any unlocked door is fine."

Bai Nuo decided in an instant that she wanted to live alone.

She was not suitable for living in a dormitory, let alone sharing a kang. She was afraid that she would fall asleep in the middle of the night and kill the people around her.

"I live in a single room." Bai Nuo no longer played it safe and spoke directly.

"Okay, just choose one." Xie Weidong was not surprised that the educated youth decided to rent a house directly.

Among this group of new educated youth, half of them came from well-off families. Twenty yuan a year might be a luxury for the old educated youth, but for those from well-off families, they could spend it without blinking an eye.

For example, Fang Zhiqing, who had just arrived and suggested to the team leader that the two rows of houses that had not yet been built be converted into single rooms and rented out to increase the team's income.

Bai Nuo first observed that there were eight small houses in two rows, three of which were occupied, and each had a small courtyard around it.

The room on the right side, which is close to the gate, is not built close to the wall, so the area more than one meter wide on the side is also enclosed to create a side yard.

This guy is so smart!

Seeing this, Bai Nuo didn't pick and choose anymore. She just carried her suitcase and walked around the front and chose the one on the left side near the door, so that she could also have a small side yard.

"Sister Bai Nuo, do you choose this one?" Chao Xianhua saw Bai Nuo open the door and go in, and hurriedly shouted.

"Well, I like this one." Bai Nuo poked his head out from inside, nodded with a smile, and didn't even move his body out, as if he was afraid of being robbed.

Chao Xianhua nodded in amusement: "Then I'll choose the one next to you."

Although this sister doesn't know how to comfort people, she is pretty and cute, and she likes people like her.

"Okay, let's be neighbors." Bai Nuo nodded with a smile. As long as he didn't compete with her for the house, it would be fine.

"Then I'll live next to you two."

Sun Yuxi followed closely. She had just heard from Xie Zhiqing that the room in the row of small houses on the left, closest to the dormitory, was occupied by a female educated youth. It would be safer to have female educated youth on both sides.

"That's perfect, the three of us can be neighbors."
