Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Well, it's not a secret. I just thought that city people might not be used to sleeping in a large dormitory and might want to rent a house." Yu Congcong said loudly.

"Oh, it's possible." Widow Wang thought for a moment. A few people who had been listening nearby sped up and rushed to the front.

"Captain, are you planning to arrange the educated youth to live in the side hall behind the cowshed?" a woman asked loudly.

"Yes, only that side hall can be lived in." Captain Fu Gang explained.

"Captain, there's no way these city kids can get used to living here," the woman continued.

Team leader Fu Gang saw that the woman was about to make trouble, but he didn't tolerate her. He said unhappily, "There is only one vacant room. No, you have a vacant room at home, or we can arrange it for you."

"Sure, Captain, I have an empty room in my house!" the woman replied.

Oh, this stingy old man is so generous today, what is he planning? Captain Fu Gang raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.

"But, Captain, you can't live in this room for free, right?" the woman said flatteringly.

So they were waiting here! "You want someone to rent your house, right? I can't make the decision. The town has issued a notice to build a home for educated youth. We are building it, but we also need to settle them. There are no empty houses in the village now, so we can only temporarily arrange them in the village office." After the captain finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the woman and quickened his pace to the village office.

Arriving at the village office, the team leader showed the educated youth where they lived. It was a simple room with unpainted walls and the lines of the masonry could be clearly seen. The floor was paved with stone slabs and was very smooth, as if it had been baptized by the years. The house exuded an old smell mixed with a faint musty smell. The windows were opened very high, making the light dim and depressing. There were several shabby beds in the room, mixed with a faint musty smell. A breeze blew, and the air was mixed with the smell of cow dung.

I knew they were dissatisfied by looking at their expressions, so I said, "As you can see, the conditions here are a bit poor. This is just a temporary residence. When the Youth Home is built, you can move to it."

The educated youth also knew that they were too hasty and the village was not ready, but the smell was too strong. So Feng De, as a representative, spoke up: "Captain, the smell is too strong, we may not be able to adapt to it."

Team leader Fu Gang was silent for a while and then said, "It's free to live here, and you only need to stay for about ten days, and the Youth House will be built. If you can't hold on for ten days and want a better place to live, you can only live with the villagers. This may cost some money. You can discuss the cost with the villagers, and I won't interfere."

"Yes, young man, you can stay at my house. You don't have to pay much for ten days, just one dollar will be enough." Widow Wang was the first to speak up to recruit people.

Another villager also said, "Girl, how about you stay in my house for one yuan per room until the Youth Educated Home is built?"

The villagers each brought people to sell the goods. There were only eight educated youths, but no family could get one, and several families gathered around one person.

The captain looked at the noisy and chaotic scene with a serious face. He said in a loud and steady voice: "Be quiet, one by one."

Then, the team leader gave a clear and concise order: "Educated youth who need to rent a house, please stand up. Those who have a house and are willing to rent it, please stand up. One person per family is enough."

At this time, all the educated youth quickly stood up.

The number of villagers on the other side was more than twice that of the educated youth. The team leader glanced at the crowd and said, "Those with empty rooms without beds at home, those with simple houses, please leave. Don't let people think that the villagers in our village are not simple." The group of villagers renting houses suddenly became smaller.

Then, the team leader spoke again: "Now, those who have unmarried adult men stand in one row, and those who have girls over 14 stand in another row. The rest are up to you to choose, I can only help you up to this point." After saying that, the team leader showed a gratified smile on his face. The educated youth listened quietly, some looked happy, and some looked a little nervous.

After hearing the team leader's words, the villagers who were suitable for renting houses with male educated youth surrounded the male educated youth, and the villagers who were suitable for renting houses with female educated youth surrounded the female educated youth.

Widow Wang is indeed a gossip expert. With her gossip, she made her competitors give up the competition. The original heroine Su Ting was also attracted by her gossip. She got out of the competition among several women and personally found Widow Wang. She lived in Widow Wang's house for an extra 50 cents. This also offended Shen Qingqing, the object of Wang's competition. Shen Qingqing was actually very satisfied with Wang's family. There were few people and the room was spacious. In addition, Widow Wang promised to share the living expenses with her for only two yuan for ten days.

In desperation, Shen Qingqing could only find Wu Chou herself. Wu Chou's house was more suitable for Wu Chou to live alone now. But she was not comfortable with Su Ting's behavior.

Wu Chou has lived alone with her little daughter since Xiaoxi got married, and she has never remarried since then. This woman is very strong. She spent a lot of money to bring her little daughter back, and she shamelessly collected the money from each family, and she paid off the money little by little by making soy sauce with the village. She and her daughter Wu You have never had a good life. Wu You is a caring child. At a young age, she helped her mother to manage the house in an orderly manner. Many families in the village liked her and hoped to marry her home as a daughter-in-law. Last year, she was married home by Fu Chuan without saying a word. Fu Chuan is also a smart man. He saw Zhang Yun practicing martial arts with Tiezhu, and he started to do the same. From then on, the three of them went up the mountain to hunt, and he saved a lot of money without even knowing it at home. Wu You had to give a large amount of betrothal gifts to marry Wu Chou's daughter, but Wu Chou took it all back to his daughter.

Feng De saw a 12-year-old girl standing in the team suitable for male educated youth, and his heart was full of curiosity. As soon as the captain finished speaking, he couldn't wait to go straight to the little girl. Yu Congcong saw that it was Yaya, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: "Oh no, why did Yaya come to join in the fun? Zhang Yun has made a lot of money in the past few years. The whole village is not as rich as him. How can his family be short of a few dollars for rent?" Yu Congcong hurriedly walked over and asked: "Yaya, why are you here?"

"Sister Congcong, I want to rent out the house." Yaya answered innocently.

"Why do you rent out the house? Is your brother short of money?" Yu Congcong looked confused.

"My brother is too busy and it's hard for him to make money. I want to help. Anyway, the house is empty anyway." Yaya said assumingly. Yu Congcong felt quite speechless, but didn't know how to persuade him. Well! It's empty anyway, so let's rent it out! When Zhang Yun comes back, let him explain to his sister himself. It's obvious that he didn't tell Yaya how rich he is.
