Chapter 104

"Really?" Xu Ruhua expressed a little doubt, but this was a bun given to him for free, so he couldn't say anything.

Li Zeqian glanced at his buns and chuckled: "So that's it. I thought it was Comrade Liu who deliberately gave me meat buns because he saw how good I looked."

Liu Xinyi blushed.

Captain Tang interrupted their chat: "It's getting late. Get all your things quickly and go back early to rest early."

Several educated youths quickly loaded their luggage onto the tractor.

Captain Tang sighed. These educated youths looked like they were spoiled and pampered. They were all wearing good materials. They were probably even worse than the previous batch of educated youths.

Along the way, Liu Xinyi deliberately sat next to Li Zeqian and told them about the situation and interesting things in the village.Li Zeqian looked cheerful, obviously amused by what Liu Xinyi said.

Xu Rushi and Xu Ruhua looked at each other, and the two sisters saw wariness in each other's eyes.

With the tractor, the group quickly arrived at Big Stone Village.

Guo Yingjian drove the tractor directly into the educated youth spot. When they saw the adobe houses in the educated youth spot, the faces of the five educated youths visibly fell.

"Captain, do we live in a place like this?" asked my sister Xu Ruhua. Didn't she say before that the conditions of the Zhongxing Brigade were pretty good?Why are they only given this kind of adobe house to live in?
"There are no other empty houses in the village. You just have to get over it. The old educated youths before have lived well. Mu Zhiqing, Ma Zhiqing, come out quickly. The new educated youths are here."

Mubai and others came out.

"These are the new educated youths. Get to know each other and then see how the housing will be allocated. I have brought all the people here for you."

Ma Weiguang looked at the number of people who came and felt a little embarrassed on his face: "Captain Tang, this house can't accommodate so many people."

It turns out that there were only three houses, the two big ones could accommodate four people each, and the small one could accommodate two people. There were eleven people in the old educated youth plus the new educated youth, including six male educated youths and five female educated youths. Not easy to distribute.

Captain Tang thought for a while: "Just let the female educated youths squeeze in, or else we can live with fellow villagers. Let's discuss it."

When Liu Xinyi left, she said: "I still have one room available for two people. If you can't live here, you can consider living in my house. My house is a brick house."

This sentence made several people's eyes roll.

Shu Lijuan was unwilling to move out of the small room. She had spent five yuan to get Yang Pingfang and Sister Qian to give up the room. Now it was better. There was not enough room for the new educated youths, so she had to move out.

Xu Rushi and Xu Ruhua looked at each other and quickly moved their things into the house. They had to occupy them quickly, otherwise they would not have any room.

When Shu Lijuan wanted to move her things, she found that she had no place.

"Why are you two so domineering? You took all the seats when you first arrived. You have taken all the seats, so where can I sleep at night?"

Xu Rushi said: "I thought you wanted to live with a fellow villager and not move anything for a long time, but the bed is so small, and we don't take up much space."

The Xu sisters originally wanted to live at Liu Xinyi's house, but Liu Xinyi glanced at Li Zeqian before leaving and obviously wanted Li Zeqian to live there.Moreover, the sisters originally came to the countryside for Li Zeqian, so it would be easier to cultivate a relationship if they lived closer.

"There is no way, the house cannot be rented, so we all squeeze in to the side. We are all girls, so there is still room for us to squeeze in," Yang Pingfang said.Finally, Zhang Mengdan moved to live with Mubai and the others, while Xie Yan and Li Zeqian moved into a small house.

Captain Tang still gave each of them [-] kilograms of coarse grains, saying that it was lent to them by the brigade first. If they didn't have enough food, they would have to borrow it from the brigade or find a way by themselves.Now is the slack time for farming, and there is not much work to do. Let a few educated youths get familiar with the environment first.

The new educated youth said hello to the old educated youth and exchanged names.

"Mubai, do you still remember me?" Li Zeqian smiled and looked at Mubai.

"Why did the young master of the Li family come to the countryside?" Mubai glanced at him.

"The eldest young master of the Mu family can support the construction of the motherland, so of course I will follow your example." Li Zeqian was still smiling.

Ding Zhongjiang looked at the two people and touched his head: "You know each other, that's good. Let's help you move your things."

After finishing packing, it was time for dinner.

"We usually cook together here. How much rice you want to eat is packed in boxes and steamed separately. This pot was bought by us old educated youths together, and we also grew the vegetables in the vegetable garden together. Forget about the pot, everyone can use it together, but if you want to eat the vegetables from the vegetable garden, you have to pay for them." Ma Weiguang said.

Yang Pingfang happened to be cooking today. Her cooking skills were average, but she also liked spicy food. She put a lot of chili peppers in the dishes, which made Li Zeqian and the others frown.But fortunately, in order to take care of these new educated youths, there are still non-spicy dishes.

Xu Rushi and Xu Ruhua took a bite of sorghum rice and felt a little astringent.Taking another bite of the dish brings tears to my eyes.

"Do you eat these things every day?"

The five new educated youths couldn't get used to it.

"It would be nice to have these things to eat. We were all eating sweet potatoes when we first came here. You're pretty good. The team leader gave you sorghum rice and brown rice. When we came here last year, we each had a bag of sweet potatoes." Yang Pingfang said.

"The conditions are good, Captain Tang is lying!" Xu Ruhua said, putting down the bowl and chopsticks.

"The conditions of our brigade this year are quite good. The brigades next door all have to live on relief food. Last year, production was severely reduced, but no one in our brigade died of hunger." Ding Zhongjiang couldn't help but say.Although he disliked this place when he came here last year, compared with the teams next door, the Zhongxing team is really pretty good.Last year they also ate mixed noodles and wild vegetable dumplings with some bran noodles, wild vegetables, corn crumbs, etc., which made people feel uncomfortable in their throats. That kind of thing is called unpalatable.But there's nothing you can do about it if it tastes bad. If you don't eat it, you'll be hungry.

The newly arrived educated youths were all from the capital city and were obviously not short of money. The Xu sisters looked at the green vegetables that had no oil or water and were filled with chili peppers. The only scrambled eggs they had added for celebration had been eaten by others, so they took a few bites. When she really couldn't eat the food, she gave the rest of the food to Sister Qian.

After washing the dishes, Sister Qian returned to her room and found that the Xu sisters were eating peach cakes, obviously not full for dinner.

Sister Qian walked in and found that the two sisters were discussing whether to separate and open fire separately.

"I don't believe Brother Zeqian is used to eating these. Otherwise, we can talk to Brother Zeqian and we can separate and fire separately." This was what Xu Ruhua said. It would be better to cook alone. of.

In fact, she brought canned meat with her when she came, but she didn't take it out when she saw so many people attending the educated youth gathering.

After the Xu sisters finished eating the peach cake, they went to Li Zeqian to discuss the matter of setting off to fire alone.
