The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

"No!" Zhu Xiaomin answered decisively, "At worst, I can go back here to farm and raise sheep."

Gu Mancang's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "Yes, at worst you can come back, our team will always be your home."

"The same goes for the educated youth centers!" Xie Chengzhi followed up.

Miao Shiwen nodded: "We will keep your room for you, come back anytime."

See it?

Zhu Xiaomin looked at Lu Mingshu with a provocative look.

Lu Mingshu looked back at her: "Aren't you afraid that Lu Mingzheng will divorce you?"

Zhu Xiaomin sneered: "If he can be kidnapped, he is not Lu Mingzheng. If he can divorce just to go back to the village for me, he is not worth it for me to follow him."

After saying this, Lu Mingshu fell silent for a moment.

Yes, Lu Mingzheng has always made his own choices, for example, going to the countryside nine years ago, and his marriage to the woman in front of him. He has never been willing to be controlled by anyone.

After a moment of silence, Lu Mingshu nodded: "Okay, I hope you won't regret it." After that, he turned around and walked out.

The people standing at the door automatically made way for her and watched her go out and walk towards the gate of the brigade headquarters.

Lu Mingshu walked decisively with big strides and soon disappeared.

Miao Shiwen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Xiaomin with concern: "Xiaomin, are you okay?"

At this moment, she finally understood why Zhu Xiaomin would make not returning to the provincial capital a condition for marriage. Lu Mingzheng's sister had such a strong desire for control that it made people feel suffocated.

Zhu Xiaomin suddenly felt relaxed, smiled back at her and shook her head slightly.

After just a dozen minutes of confrontation, she was able to shake off many of the shadows from her previous life. It was really unexpected.

Gu Mancang also smiled and said seriously: "Zhu Zhiqing, our brigade really welcomes you back anytime."

Treat her like the goose that lays golden eggs.

Zhu Xiaomin laughed: "Thank you, Secretary."

The problem was solved, Xie Chengzhi waved to everyone and said, "Let's go back to work." He asked everyone to go out.

"Thank you, educated youth!" Gu Mancang called him, "The new educated youth will arrive the day after tomorrow, you should get ready."

Finally came.

Xie Chengzhi glanced at Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen, nodded in agreement, and led everyone back.

The new educated youth were coming, and everyone discussed it briefly in the evening.

With the previous experience of Shi Meijun as a lesson, it was decided that the newly arrived educated youth would not live together with everyone for the time being. As for the future, they would consider it later.

Two days later, the newly arrived educated youth arrived at the educated youth center as scheduled, carrying their luggage.

Seeing a large group of people standing at the door, everyone was stunned.

Fourteen!

This time, there were fourteen people coming, eight men and six women, which exceeded the number in any previous year.

"This is the leader of the educated youth production team, Xie Zhiqing. From now on, all your production tasks will be led by him." Gu Mancang introduced and said to Xie Chengzhi, "Xie Zhiqing, I'll trouble you to arrange for them."

Xie Chengzhi had no choice but to nod and agree: "Don't worry, Secretary." After seeing Gu Mancang off, he turned to look at the fourteen new educated youth and introduced himself. "My name is Xie Chengzhi. I went to the countryside in 1968, and it has been seven years now. I am trusted by everyone and became the leader of this educated youth production team. On behalf of all the educated youth, I would like to extend my welcome to you all."

The fourteen educated youths immediately greeted him in unison: "Hello, Captain Xie."

"Thank you, Captain."

……

Xie Chengzhi smiled and said, "This captain position is not really a job title. I just represent the educated youth production team to communicate with the production team on production arrangements. You can just call me by my name."

Everyone agreed immediately and introduced themselves.

A tall female educated youth with a big round face stepped forward and said, "Hello, Captain Xie, my name is Fang Qing, and I'm from Beijing." She raised her chin slightly and turned her eyes to Xie Chengzhi.

Xie Chengzhi nodded with a smile: "Hello, Fang Zhiqing." He completely ignored the place name she mentioned.

A petite female educated youth named Qi Yishan introduced herself and asked, "Captain Xie, the brigade said we will live here in the future, how should we arrange it?"

Xie Chengzhi introduced: "We have two courtyards here, inner and outer, with a total of 18 dormitories. The outer courtyard was built by the first batch of educated youth who went to the countryside, and the inner courtyard was newly built two years ago. There are four people in each dormitory. Currently, there is one room in the outer courtyard vacant, and two rooms in the inner courtyard are occupied. There are 14 of you in total, and you can freely group who can share a dormitory with whom."

Fang Qing asked: "Where are the original female educated youth? Where do they live?" Her eyes swept over Miao Shiwen, Zhu Xiaomin and others.

Miao Shiwen pointed to the door of the fourth dormitory and said, "We originally had four female educated youth living in this dormitory."

Fang Qing's eyes widened instantly: "Female educated youth and male educated youth live in the same yard?"

if not?

Xie Chengzhi said: "Now only Mr. Luo and his son from the elementary school outside live in the inner courtyard. The other room is the new house where the educated youth Zhu got married. If you like a quieter environment, you can also choose the inner courtyard."

"Why are you still living in the educated youth camp after getting married?" asked a female educated youth with double braids named Wang Liwan.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and explained: "Because my husband is not here, I don't have a separate household, but I am still a member of the educated youth site."

Fang Qing's eyes turned to her, and she nodded without asking any more questions. She turned to Miao Shiwen and said, "Since the educated youth center is divided into inner and outer courtyards, why not separate the men and women? Why don't we all move the female educated youth to the inner courtyard, which will just vacate a room, and the male educated youth can live in the outer courtyard? That should be an arrangement, right?"

Sure, you can, but you don't have to.

Miao Shiwen said slowly and quietly: "The inner courtyard expansion has only been two years. We have lived here for so many years. We are used to it. There is no need to move again."

When Fang Qing heard that she disagreed, her face immediately darkened, and she looked unhappy: "There are only three of you, what's wrong with moving?"

Nothing, just not happy.

Miao Shiwen looked at her and said nothing more.

Zhang Qiaomei whispered, "You choose yours, why do you care about us?"

Fang Qing was dissatisfied: "How inconvenient is it for men and women to mix together?"

Song Zhian interrupted, "The female educated youth have separate dormitories, so what do you mean by mixed together? According to this educated youth, Mr. Luo and his son also live in the inner courtyard. Even if you live in the inner courtyard, men and women will still be mixed together."

Yang Aijun followed up by saying, "The outer courtyard is full. If there are new people next year, they will all be arranged to live in the inner courtyard. Can we not let the male educated youth live there?"

Fang Qing said loudly: "I just proposed a better plan. If there are other people, we can adjust it."

Miao Shiwen said: "When the dormitories were arranged, the male educated youth advocated that the dormitories for the female educated youth be sandwiched in the middle because they were afraid of any danger in the mountains and it was also for protection. We didn't find it inconvenient, so we didn't move."

Fang Qing curled her lips: "We are all in the house, how can it be unsafe?" She swung her braid and walked inside, "I'll go pick a room inside."
