Traveling through 70, reborn officers with various pets

Although there were some minor incidents in the distribution of food and money this time, the result was still good.

Since going to the countryside, Ou Ruoxing has received full work points every day, so she has become one of the few educated youth who can get enough food.

She chose to ask for one third of fine grains and two thirds of coarse grains, which together amounted to nearly 500 kilograms of grain.

She is just a little girl and her appetite is not big, so this much food is definitely enough for her to eat her fill and spend the winter well, participate in spring planting, and distribute the food after the summer harvest.

However, she still exchanged some food with the production team. "Captain, I want to exchange some food to send back to my family. How do you think we can do it?"

Team leader Han Shengli was not a dull person. The production team still had some surplus grain, and it would be good to be able to exchange some of it and get some money and tickets.

At least if there is any emergency in the production team, we can have money and tickets to get things done.

"Okay! How much do you want? Let's make it clear first. We can't exchange all of it for fine grain. We don't have much fine grain in our production team."

Ou Ruoxing made some calculations and exchanged for 100 kilograms of fine grains and 200 kilograms of coarse grains.

Fine grains were sold at 30 cents per pound, while coarse grains were sold at 10 cents per pound, for a total of 50 yuan.

She watched the grain being weighed, and in front of everyone, she took out five big unity notes and handed them to the accountant, then asked someone to help transport the grain back to the village chief's house where she was staying.

Looking at the piles of food in the room, Ou Ruoxing got a headache.

The room was not big to begin with, and now with two little girls living in it, plus my own belongings, there was really no room left to even step.

It seems that I still need to think of a way to see if I can build a house by myself, even if it is a small one, just enough for me to live in.

So after dinner that day, after Ou Ruoxing helped clean up the main room, she saw that the village chief had not yet returned to the house to rest, so she went up to him and asked about building his own house.

"Uncle, I have something I want to ask you." She went back to the room, took out a bag of pastries and handed it to the seated village chief, not knowing how to start the conversation.

She had only been in Yongping Village for more than three months, so it was a bit abrupt for her to want to build a house.

However, because her situation is rather special, she is worried that living with others for a long time will increase the risk of exposure.

Zhang Guoqing refused to accept the cakes she handed over, "Take the cakes back and eat them. If you have any problems, just tell me directly. I will definitely help you if I can."

Ou Ruoxing did not accept the cake that was pushed back to her, "Uncle, just accept it, otherwise I would be embarrassed to trouble you."

"It's like this, uncle. Look, I'm an educated youth. Living in your house and sharing a room with Cuicui is not a solution for a long time."

"Here's what I'm thinking. Since there's not much farm work to do right now, the village will grant me a piece of land. I'll build a house with my own money, just enough for me to live in. Do you think this is feasible?"

Hey, you know what, this educated youth has a flexible brain.

Isn't there enough room for the educated youths? Living in the villagers' homes is not a long-term solution. Since the educated youths are willing to pay for building houses, that's the best.

"For this matter, my opinion alone does not count. The land in the village all belongs to the production team. So, I will go with you to talk to the team leader tomorrow. It shouldn't be a big problem." Zhang Guoqing did not just say yes without taking on too much responsibility, but indicated that he would ask for the production team's opinion.

"Okay! I'll trouble you with this matter." Ou Ruoxing was not that anxious. There was no problem waiting for a day or two.

"But, uncle, if the production team agrees, I would like you to help me find someone to build the house, and I can just pay for the materials."

Zhang Guoqing is also a perceptive person. He knew what he meant as soon as he heard it. "Okay! If the team agrees, I will find someone to build a house for you. As for the materials, bricks and wood are more expensive. As for the roof, you can decide whether to use tiles or just thatch."

Ou Ruoxing asked: "Uncle, if we make tiles, are the procedures complicated? I heard that the production team needs to get a permit to go to the town's brick and tile factory to get tiles."

Wow, it seems that this Ou Zhiqing really did his homework and even knows how to approve the slips.

Zhang Guoqing nodded. "Indeed, we need to get approval from the team to go to the town to build a house for one person. We need to build a bigger one, with a room in the front for cooking and eating, and a kang in the back for sleeping. It will cost about 15 yuan for tiles. Add in the bricks, wood, and labor, and it will cost about 50 yuan."

Ou Ruoxing nodded after listening to this. She thought to herself that the price was not very high, only one or two months' salary of a worker. Her family gave her money to support herself when she came to the countryside, and she did not spend much in the past few months. Her family also sent her money, so she still had enough money to build a house.

"Understood! Uncle, please help me apply to the team!"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Guoqing agreed.

The next day when he went to work, he told the team leader Han Shengli that Ou Ruoxing wanted to build a house at his own expense.

Han Shengli also thought it was feasible. "Lao Zhang, since the educated youth is willing to spend her own money to build the house, it's not impossible. In this way, the team can not charge her for the housing land. However, after the house is built, she can live in it as long as she is not back in the city. If one day she returns to the city, or gets married and no longer lives there, the house can be returned to the production team for free. You need to explain this to the educated youth Ou and see if she has any objections. If not, we can take a day or two to help her build the house while we build the school."

Zhang Guoqing also thought that this was acceptable. After all, the homestead belonged to the production team, and in principle, the educated youth who went to the countryside were not considered members of the production team. This rule was also set to shut up the members.
