Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 4 The Uninhibited Life of the 60 Educated Youths 3

Seeing that Shao Yu had agreed, Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly took the lead and began introducing herself.

“My name is Jiang Xiaoxiao. I am from Sichuan Province and I am 17 years old. I graduated from high school last year but couldn’t find a job, so I was assigned to work in the countryside this year.”

After Jiang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, another female comrade followed.

“My name is Li Lijuan. I am from Shanxi Province and I am 17 years old this year. I am a junior high school student. After graduation, I first took over my grandmother’s job. Now that my younger brother has graduated, I can only be assigned to work in the countryside.”

Li Lijuan's family situation was quite common at that time. Not to mention now, even decades later, there are still many families that prefer sons to daughters.

After the two ladies finished speaking, it was the gentlemen's turn. Ji Han and Du Guowei both looked at Shi Shaoyu, who had no choice but to step forward and introduce himself.

"My name is Shi Shaoyu. I am from Kyoto. I am 15 years old and have graduated from junior high school."

Shi Shaoyu didn't say a single unnecessary word, showing that although he seemed carefree, he was quite shrewd. Ji Han followed behind Shi Shaoyu and copied the same format.

"Ji Han, from Kyoto, 15 years old, junior high school graduate."

Well, the word count was just a bit more concise. To ease the awkward atmosphere, the seemingly honest and simple-minded Du Guowei quickly stepped forward as well.

“My name is Du Guowei. I’m from Henan Province. I’m 18 years old this year. I started school late and just graduated from high school this year. I’m the eldest in my family. There are many children in my family, and we only have one worker. So after I graduated, I volunteered to go to the countryside. This way, at least I can save some food for my family.”

Everyone was introducing themselves, and the young man walking with them couldn't remain silent, so he also introduced himself.

"Um, my name is Zhang Dahe. The captain driving the car is my dad. I'm 18 years old this year. After graduating from junior high school, I didn't get into high school, so I started working with the team members. Um, you're new to the team. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me. If you need any help, just call me. I'll definitely help if I can."

Since this was not surprising at all, judging from the interaction between Zhang Dahe and Zhang Dezhu in the commune, it was clear that the two were relatives, either father and son or close uncle and nephew.

However, when Li Lijuan heard that Zhang Dahe was the brigade leader's son, her eyes lit up a bit when she looked at him.

"Comrade Zhang, so you're the captain's son! Could you tell us about our team? The more we know, the better we can integrate into our team."

Look how well he said it! Even if Zhang Dahe didn't want to introduce it, he couldn't help it. There was no way around it; Zhang Dahe's voice kept talking the whole way.

As darkness fell, the group arrived at Zhangzhuang Brigade. Ji Han and the others learned that Zhangzhuang Brigade had been divided into ten teams according to residential areas for easier management. Each team had about fifteen to thirty households, and these households were all under the daily management of their team leader.

Here's the key point: the educated youth compound of Zhangzhuang Brigade was built near the foot of a mountain in a relatively remote location. It is said that the reason for choosing this location was that all the members of the brigade opposed these outsiders taking over the homesteads that should have belonged to the members. In the end, after a vote, the brigade leader had no choice but to build the educated youth settlement at the foot of the mountain, which no one liked.

Fortunately, the houses in the educated youth settlement were all newly built, and the courtyard walls had been specially reinforced and heightened. Even if wild animals came down the mountain, the houses could at least provide some protection and wouldn't be trampled flat by the wild animals.

Originally, based on the residential area division, the educated youth settlement should have been directly assigned to the tenth team. However, due to the "excellent" performance of the previous two batches of educated youth, the team leader of the tenth team refused to give him all the educated youth. Therefore, the current policy for the allocation of educated youth is one person per team. If there are any surplus, they will be re-circulated.

The educated youth settlement now houses eight people, five women and three men. Adding Ji Han and his group of five, the total number of people exceeds ten. It's just that Ji Han might not have the chance to be assigned to the same group as Shi Shaoyu, and it's unknown whether their work locations will be more than a kilometer apart.

Under the bright moonlight, the oxcart traveled all the way to the foot of the mountain at the end of the village, where a lone house stood. Zhang Dahe quickened his pace and knocked on the door of the educated youth settlement beforehand.

"Sun Zhiqing, Sun Zhiqing, are you asleep? A new educated youth is here!"

"Hey! Here I come!"

Before the person arrived, words preceded their arrival; a series of clattering footsteps echoed from inside the door, growing louder as they approached, followed by the sound of the latch being removed and the door being opened.

"Great river, come in quickly!"

Zhang Dahe waved his hand, indicating that he and this educated youth, Sun, were quite familiar with each other.

"It's too late, so I won't go in. Look, those are the new educated youth who just arrived today. There are three men and two women in total. You can arrange things for them."

Following Zhang Dahe's gaze, Sun Zhiqing noticed the brigade leader and Ji Han, and hurriedly came over to greet the brigade leader. Like Zhang Dahe, the brigade leader gave Sun Zhiqing some instructions and then drove the oxcart away.

Ji Han and the others picked up their packages again and followed Sun Zhiqing into the courtyard. The courtyard wasn't very big; apart from the main gate, the other three sides were all lined with houses.

"Our educated youth compound has a total of seven rooms. There are three main rooms and two rooms on each side. In the three main rooms, three male educated youths live on the left and three female educated youths live on the right. The middle room is the kitchen and dining room."

"The remaining two female educated youths are currently living in the north wing on the right. There is also a south wing on the right and two rooms on the left. There are enough rooms for you to choose from."

"As for the toilets, they are in the backyard. The men's toilet is in the left corner, and the women's toilet is in the right corner."

"In addition, we can draw water directly from the well in the middle of the yard. This was specially arranged for us by the brigade leader, mainly because our place is quite far from the village's well."

"As for the remaining daily necessities such as food and firewood, you can go directly to the brigade headquarters tomorrow and ask the brigade leader for the food. The firewood is collected by everyone on the mountain. If you use it, just pick it up and replace it."

"Alright, it's getting late, and you all must be tired from your journey. Let's stop here for now. We can discuss any issues tomorrow. We old educated youth will also get together tomorrow night to throw you a welcome party."

After finishing speaking, Sun Zhiqing didn't wait for Ji Han and the others to ask any questions, and directly opened the door and walked into the room on the left side of the main house.
