Happiness System

Li Jianshe stood up, patted the dirt off his butt, and said, "Cheng Bing and I will go. You guys take a rest. The sun is still very hot. I saw that the captain and his men have nice straw hats. Do you have any for sale at the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Qin Xi sighed sadly, "Yes, buy me a hat with a big brim, and then buy me an umbrella. If my skin color continues to get darker, people will think I'm an international friend when I go out!"

Li Jianshe held back his laughter, took the money and the kettle and left, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his laughter after the trip.

The two brothers strolled outside for nearly half an hour before returning.

Qin Xi touched her stomach, she was hungry!

Fortunately, she bought a lot in the morning. Now she has no hope of improving her food by leaving the commune.

Just as he was about to get something to eat, he saw the rickshaw driver Uncle Mo coming over with a man about his age.

Seeing the other three people also coming back, the man said, "I am Chen Jianguo, the team leader of Shitou Village. The tractor that was carrying the educated youth broke down halfway. Lao Mo is waiting for them here. You guys follow me back to the village first."

Uncle Mo harnessed an ox cart and drove over, asking Qin Xi and the others to load their luggage onto it.

Seeing the pile of luggage, Uncle Mo and the team leader felt a little distressed, but they did not say anything to stop them from getting on the bus.

In silence, Qin Xi quickly climbed onto the ox cart, and others followed suit.

They all put the straw hats they bought on their heads, and they looked great without looking out of place in the sun. It was absolutely great!

The captain sighed, took the bullwhip and sat in his special seat.

After the ox cart was far away from the commune, Qin Xi took out the leftover food from the morning.

She was sitting very close to the captain, so she took a fried dough stick and handed it to him, "Uncle Captain, eat something, or you won't be able to drive."

The captain turned his head to look at the bag in his hand and took it silently.

Because he was coming to pick up the educated youth today, he got up early in the morning to arrange the work in the team, and then hurried to the commune. He hadn't eaten a grain of rice the whole morning, and he really couldn't stand the smell.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Qin Xi gave him another meat bun, but this time the captain was reluctant to eat it. He wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his pocket.

Qin Xi's eyes flashed with cunning, and she immediately raised the kettle and asked, "Uncle, are the fried dough sticks too dry? I'll pour you some water. It's new and you haven't drunk it yet!"

In this weather, the body's water is indeed lost too quickly. The captain silently opened the lid of the porcelain cup in his hand and reached out. By the time he realized that Qin Xi had poured him soda, it was too late.

There must be something fishy about this attentiveness. This educated youth has big ambitions!

Sure enough, after he took a sip of soda, Qin Xi spoke.

"Uncle, how are our educated youths arranged for accommodation? How many educated youths are there in the village now?"

"All the educated youth live in the Youth House. There are six rooms in it, three for men and three for women, all with big kangs. There are twelve men and fifteen women still in the Youth House, plus your group of six men and six women, twelve in total."

There is nothing hidden in this, so what are you planning, girl?

Qin Xi knew that she was being too obvious, but she continued to exclaim exaggeratedly: "That kang must accommodate six or seven people? That's too many! Is there no other place to arrange it? Can we build a house for ourselves?"

The captain snorted coldly, "Build a house? You're dreaming, little kid! There's no money in the village!"

Qin Xi brought him another pancake, and the captain took it and said, "No matter how much you try to please me, there is no money in the village. One pancake for a room. The little girl is quite good at math!"

Jin Zhe and the other four male comrades knew about building the house. When they heard Qin Xi bring up the matter directly, they also wanted to know what the attitude of the villagers was.

Zhao Xiaofen and Zhou Pandidi heard it for the first time. They were so surprised that they even forgot to eat the buns that Jin Zhe gave them.

Hearing the captain openly say that she was daydreaming, Qin Xi said as a matter of course: "Then we can pay for it ourselves!"

"You have to think carefully. If you go back to the city or get married and move out, you are not allowed to sell the house or take it with you, and the village will not convert it into money for you." The captain looked at Qin Xi deeply.

Qin Xi didn't think about pretending. She discussed the matter of building a house directly with the team leader. She also said frankly that she was in poor health and could not live on those few work points. She asked the team leader to arrange an easy job for her.

The captain's mouth twitched, and he unconsciously took a bite of the pancake in his hand, then regretfully wrapped it together with the meat bun.

Oh my God, why isn’t there a single normal person among those allocated to their village!

Let this world be destroyed!

Jin Zhe and Jing Yan also took the opportunity to ask that they also pay for the construction of the house out of their own pockets. When Li Jianshe and Cheng Bing heard that one house would cost nearly fifty yuan, they began to hesitate again.

Although they knew that it would be difficult to deal with the old educated youth, they still did not make up their minds to build houses.

The two of them still had about a hundred yuan in their hands, and after deducting the money for food, they would have no money left to build a house.

Cheng Bing sighed. Why didn’t he think of calling home when he was at the commune just now?

Zhao Xiaofen and Zhou Pandi dared not even think about owning a house, and could only express their envy.

In fact, Qin Xi was also relying on her memory to talk straight with the captain. Building a house would indeed not harm the interests of the village.

On the contrary, this is a good thing. Not only does it solve the housing problem of the educated youth, but the villagers can also earn a few cents for their hard work, and the village also has more assets.

After finalizing the matter of building the house, Qin Xi pretended to ask the team leader what the layout of the houses in the village was like and what their new house should look like.

These were not serious matters, and the team leader naturally would not hide anything. He said openly that the houses of the villagers were not suitable for them, the educated youth, and the village would not allocate too much land to them.

Those who can get the housing plot are those who are married to local girls and boys.

Shitou Village is actually very close to the commune, and it only takes half an hour to get there by ox cart.

This group of educated youth were actually very lucky because they arrived just after the busy farming season.

When they entered the village, the villagers had already finished work for some time.

The team leader drove the ox cart directly to the Youth League Home and explained to them, "Now is not the busy farming season. Eleven to two o'clock is the rest time. You can take a break today and go back to work tomorrow.

Our Shitou Village is the Eighth Brigade of Hongqi Commune. The Eighth Brigade that people outside refer to is ours. Some smaller villages consist of two or three villages.

After 2 o'clock, you can go to the team headquarters to collect food. You can exchange it for money or use centimeters to pay for it at the end of the year, but I prefer you to exchange it for money.

The team gets off work at 6:30. You can go out to buy things after work. You all know the way. Go there on your own."

The captain liked Qin Xi's straightforward way of communication. Unlike the old educated youth in the Youth League Institute, who always beat around the bush when they heard a sentence and had a heart full of twists and turns.

"Uncle, since you are free right now, why don't you give us a place to build a house? The busy farming season is over and everyone is not busy, so let's build the house while it's not too hot."

Qin Xi took a look at the food she bought in the morning. There was still one vegetable bun, one fried dough stick and one pancake left, so she simply gave them all to the captain.

"So urgent?" The captain suddenly felt that the food in his hand was no longer attractive. "This matter is not something I can decide alone. We need to hold a meeting to discuss how much land each person should be allocated. We can talk about it when you come to get the food next time. Aren't there still a few educated youth who haven't come yet?"

Qin Xi also knew that there was no rush. "Okay, we have prepared the pot. Can you show us where we can build a stove in the Youth League? I can't eat from a big pot, and you can't bear to see the child go hungry, right?"

"Okay, I'll find two people for you later. They'll be ready during the lunch break and won't delay your dinner." Seeing how she spoke so logically, the captain's mouth twitched.

This girl is really not one to suffer a loss. After eating a few bites, she can order him around as much as she wants!

"Look, the Youth Educated Home is in front!" After just a few words, they arrived at the Youth Educated Home.

Qin Xi looked around, then pointed to the place she had chosen based on her memory and asked, "Why aren't they growing crops here? Is this a homestead? Can we build our house here?"

The team leader said the same thing: "We'll have to wait until the meeting to tell you whether it's feasible or not. This piece of land doesn't grow crops, so it can be used as a residential site, but we have to see if anyone in the village has reserved this piece of land."

Having said that, he also knew that these educated youth were troublemakers and no good family would be willing to get so close to them.

"Luo Wei, Yang Liu, come out and make arrangements for the new educated youth!"

The team leader stopped the ox cart in front of the gate of the Youth League Home, shouted something inside, and then asked several male comrades to unload the luggage on the ground.

"You guys settle down first, I'll find someone for Xiao Qin." With that the captain left.

At this time, the people inside appeared late.

"I'm Luo Wei, this is Comrade Yang Liu, and we're both team leaders at the Youth League Institute."

Lowe, who was speaking, looked simple and honest, but he was actually a black sesame at heart. Yang Liu next to her looked like a sweet lolita, but she was actually a fierce female devil.

But it was just the two of them who were able to subdue the group of evil spirits in the Youth League Institute.

Although these two people cannot be considered good people, they are not bad people either. In this kind of environment, good people will be eaten to the bone!

"Brother Luo, Sister Liu, how do we arrange our accommodation? My bones are all broken from sitting on this ox cart, I need to find a place to lie down and relax!" Qin Xi patted her old waist, without any intention of being polite.

Others: Are you tired? Maybe your mouth is tired?

They kept stopping all the way and didn't give them any room to perform!

Li Jianshe and Cheng Bing were the most resentful. Before they set off, their families gave them a special lesson on how to maintain good relations with village cadres, but they had no room to perform at all!

Fortunately, they did not show their true strength. The captain seemed to dislike those who were smooth talkers.
