Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

The brigade headquarters office is located in the very center of the village. In front of the office, besides a large open space often used for meetings, there is an old locust tree. The area under the tree has naturally become the "center of gossip" in the village.

When Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu arrived at the brigade headquarters, a crowd had already gathered outside the office to watch the commotion, and several elderly women were even peering through the cracks in the windows and doors.

At this point, it's definitely time for the social wolf Shi Shaoyu to step in.

"Excuse me, excuse me, ladies, please let us pass for a moment, thank you! Thank you!"

As Shi Shaoyu pushed his way forward, he called out loudly. Ji Han tried to minimize the space he occupied and followed closely behind Shi Shaoyu. When the older women saw this, they exclaimed, "Oh, two more educated youths have arrived!" They knew from their unfamiliar faces that these were newcomers from yesterday, and they all spontaneously made way for them to squeeze in.

Shi Shaoyu shouted loudly enough that just as they reached the door, it was pushed open from the inside. It was Captain Zhang Dezhu who opened it.

"You two are here, which means you're all here now, the whole batch of new educated youth. Come in!"

Ji Han observed the situation inside the room. Jiang Xiaoxiao and Li Lijuan both looked angry, and even Du Guowei's expression was not very good. Judging from Jiang Xiaoxiao's agitated appearance, she must have been the main force among the three during the argument.

The captain walked past the three men and sat down again behind a long table.

"You two are new here, so I'll tell you what just happened."

“Our Zhangzhuang brigade has had four batches of educated youth since 65. You are the fifth batch. The previous four batches only had ten people in total, but this time five of you came at once.”

"Of course, the number of people is not the key point. The key point is your subsidy issue. From the spring of 65 until now, the subsidy policy that our Qianjin Commune has issued to each educated youth has not changed for the time being."

"Let me first say something that no one has any doubts about: the commune has issued a grain subsidy to each of you educated youth, 20 kilograms of finished grain per person per month. However, this subsidy is only issued until the autumn harvest and distribution of grain in that year. After the first autumn harvest, the educated youth will be distributed grain according to the number of people and the final labor work points, just like the local team members."

"Of course, if someone is extremely unlucky and is assigned here in the dead of winter, their supplementary grain will be distributed until the summer harvest of the following year."

"In addition, each educated youth will also receive a resettlement allowance of 150 yuan and 0.3 cubic meters of building timber. This allowance includes your housing costs, medical expenses, material costs, farm tool costs, living expenses, etc."

"After the brigade receives the fee for the previous four batches of educated youth, it will divide this 150 yuan into three parts. One part is 100 yuan, which will be used to build houses. I believe you have all moved into the new houses yesterday. We have used good mud bricks in each room, and we have even specially built kang beds in them."

The captain's unspoken message was that charging each of you only 100 yuan for such a nice room was very reasonable!

"The other part is ten yuan, which is for buying farm tools. After all, you can't rely solely on your hands to work, right? You'll always need sickles, hoes, and the like!"

"The last forty yuan will be distributed to you educated youth. Whether you use it to buy furniture or daily necessities is not up to the brigade."

After speaking, the captain glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao and the other two, then pointedly said to Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han,

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Do either of you have any objections now?"

Ji Han glanced at the captain, who was barely containing his anger, and exchanged a look with Shi Shaoyu. He quickly shook his head, saying he had no objections. Unexpectedly, this gesture unleashed Jiang Xiaoxiao's pent-up anger, which then flared up at the two of them.

"Shi Shaoyu! Ji Han! How could you two do this! We are all new educated youths, you should be on our side, why did the brigade leader use up our subsidies without even asking? That's our money, not his!"

"Snapped!"

Well, before Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han could even speak, the captain finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"What do you mean you didn't even give us a heads-up? How could I give you a heads-up before you even showed up? You've come at a good time. In this weather, you'd freeze to death if you slept outside all night. What, you think we'll build the house after you arrive? Let's not even talk about whether we can gather all the materials right away. Where will you live for the next few days while we're building the house?"

"Don't tell me that every household in your city has several empty rooms, just waiting for guests to move in. If there's nowhere to stay, don't even think about building houses. If it freezes for two days, you might as well just build a grave on the back hill!"

Seeing the team leader lose his temper, Li Lijuan hesitated for a moment.

"Then we don't need to build so many houses, do we? I see there's still an empty room after we settled in the educated youth settlement. If we build one less room, we can save some money and get a bigger share."

After venting his frustrations, the captain felt much better. Hearing Li Lijuan's mutterings, he lifted the lid, skimmed off the tea leaves, and then gulped down a mouthful of water.

"You don't need to worry about the number of houses. We built them at 200 yuan per house. The houses are quite large, and they are spacious and comfortable for two people to live in."

"But later, two of the educated youth got married to the village team members and moved out of the educated youth compound, which is why there was an empty room."

"Oh, right, there are five of you here this time. I saw that the houses in the educated youth compound are enough for now, so I only had the team members build two new rooms. What? Does anyone want to move out of the educated youth compound? If anyone steps forward today, I can give that hundred to that person, but once you leave this door today, that hundred will be confiscated. When the next batch of educated youth arrives, I will add it to the house construction."

After speaking, the captain deliberately looked into Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes.

"Comrade Jiang, you were the one who made the most noise just now. What's wrong? Do you want to move out on your own? If so, I'll go and teach the accountant right away to settle your 100 yuan construction fee."

Although Jiang Xiaoxiao is feisty, she is definitely not stupid. Where would she live if she moved out? At a teammate's house? Putting aside the issue of rent, 100 yuan could definitely keep her there for a long time, but how could the safety of a girl living at a teammate's house be guaranteed?

Sometimes, with Shao Yu as a shining example, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that she would definitely look down on those peasants in the team, but if the other party forced her, she would have no choice but to marry into this rural place even if she disagreed.

In addition to these issues, there were also a series of problems such as food, water, and firewood. Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that she absolutely could not move to a team member's house alone!
