Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Cheng Feng immediately shut up when he saw the whole jar that Ding Huawei brought out. Luo Dajun said, "Old Ding, you are still living a comfortable life!"

Ding Huawei said: "You are wrong. We are all happy. If you think well of the girl, and she gets better in the future, she will come to you if she gets into trouble. Just don't deny it!"

"I didn't expect you to be more protective than before." Han Hu joked with a smile, and then said, "But then again, if I had a granddaughter like this, it would be the same."

Rong Xijuan asked: "Sister Gu, when can we meet your granddaughter?!"

Gu Ruoxue replied, "We are all in the same team, so there will be a chance sooner or later. It's not that I don't want you to meet. It's just that I'm afraid of causing trouble for the children. After all, they are not like us."

Cheng Feng said, "It is said that scholars value integrity. Those few are simply scum among the scholars. It is unfortunate for us to be grouped with them."

Yang Ling advised: "Old Cheng, just say less. We are all in trouble. There is no need to care so much."

Ding Huawei continued, "Okay! Let's not talk about these unhappy things anymore. Let's eat! Otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste good."

Soon it was the beginning of September, and another group of new educated youth arrived. This time they were no longer from the same place, but from all over the world. Because of the arrival of the new educated youth, the originally relaxed accommodation environment of the educated youth camp became tight.

Tang Jianjun saw that something was not right and applied for a homestead from the brigade. However, considering that he might return to the city in the future, Tang Jianjun did not choose to build a house like Yan Jiekuang, but chose a more affordable half-brick and half-adobe house. After half a month of construction, the house was finally built. Tang Jianjun did not have the ability of Yan Jiekuang, and it was impossible for him to treat everyone in the brigade to meat. He just bought some fruit candies, distributed them around the educated youth site, and then gave some to the villagers with whom he had a good relationship.

"What kind of meeting is today?!" Gao Junsong, who was smoking in the office, saw Tian Dazhuang coming in from outside and asked as he put out the cigarette in his hand.

Tian Dazhuang said, "What else can I say? It's just the same old story. There will be educated youth coming here every month. The higher-ups asked us to expand the educated youth site."

Gao Junsong said: "I also want to expand, where will the money come from?!"

Tian Dazhuang said: "The public society will give us a part, and we will have to figure out the rest ourselves. I heard from several other brigade secretaries that they plan to deduct a part of the resettlement fees for educated youth issued by the higher authorities to make up for the shortfall in funds."

"This is a good idea, but aren't they afraid that the educated youth will cause trouble?" Gao Junsong lit up another cigarette. Tian Dazhuang picked up the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and said, "They are sure that the educated youth will not dare to cause trouble."

Gao Junsong said: "Not all of the educated youth are children of ordinary people. If something really happens, they won't even have time to cry."

Tian Dazhuang said: "I think their idea is good. As long as the money doesn't go into our pockets, there will be no problem."

Gao Junsong smiled bitterly and said, "Old buddy, you think too simply. We can't control what they do. We must not be like them. Wait for the funds to come down. We will do as much as they give us. If the money is enough to build a brick house, that would be the best. If not, we can build a half-brick and half-adobe house. As long as no one freezes to death, they can't blame us."

Tian Dazhuang thought for a moment and asked, "How about we mobilize the old educated youth to build houses in the village?!"

Gao Junsong shook his head and said, "We all know the situation of those old educated youth. It's probably impossible to ask them to pay for the construction of houses themselves." Then he asked, "Old Tian, ​​how about we renovate the house of Landlord Xie and let the new educated youth live there?!"

Tian Dazhuang said: "The house of the landlord Xie is suitable. But those houses have been uninhabited for nearly 30 years. And I heard that the house was not very clean before. Is it suitable for them to live in?!"

Gao Junsong said seriously, "What's wrong with it? I think it's quite suitable. Before the rush to harvest begins, I will find someone to repair those houses tomorrow."

Tian Dazhuang asked: "What if they don't want to live here?!"

Gao Junsong answered firmly: "If they don't want to live here, they can go back to where they came from! Anyway, we won't keep them here. Even if the commune finds out, they can't say anything to us."

Tian Dazhuang thought about it and agreed, "Okay! Let's do as you say. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If the educated youth make trouble, let them go directly to the commune."

Gao Junsong was a retired soldier, so he was very decisive in his work. The next morning, Gao Junsong led the construction team that was put together temporarily in the brigade to start working. It took almost eight days to renovate the house of the landlord Xie.

After finishing his work, Gao Junsong just returned home. Before he had time to drink a sip of water, Tian Dazhuang called out: "Lao Gao! Are you home?!"

When Gao Junsong heard the call, he quickly put down the bowl, walked out of the house and replied, "I'm here! Come in by yourself!"

Tian Dazhuang pushed the door open and walked into the yard, asking, "Thank you, landlord, is your house repaired?!"

Gao Junsong replied, "It's fixed!" Then he asked, "You went to the meeting at the company today, what did the president say?!"

Tian Dazhuang sighed and replied, "What else can I say? It's always been a cliché. But another group of educated youth will come the day after tomorrow."

"What?!" Gao Junsong was surprised and said, "Why are the educated youth here at this time? The busy farming season is about to begin. Won't these people be a drag?!"

Tian Dazhuang said: "What can we do about it? It has already been decided."

Gao Junsong complained, "Our brigade is well-off, so it's okay to support some idle people. But our brigade is not well-off?! Isn't this cheating people?!" Then he asked, "How much did the Xishan Brigade get this time?!"

Tian Dazhuang said: "Twenty of them. But they are all male educated youth."

Gao Junsong smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that this time they would be blessed in disguise."

Tian Dazhuang sighed and continued, "Lao Gao, how do we arrange for the new educated youth? If we continue to put them in the same production team, it may not be appropriate."

Gao Junsong said, "You are right! Let's separate the men and women. The men form a production team, and the women form another. Let all the male educated youth live in the house of Landlord Xie. The female educated youth live in their original place. This will prevent accidents from happening when men and women live in the same yard. In addition, you must keep a close eye on those scoundrels in the village. Don't let them cause trouble."

Tian Dazhuang said: "If it is divided like this, should the men's team and the women's team have one more vice-captain?!"

Gao Junsong hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Let Shu Bo be the vice-captain of the men's team, and Xie Mei be the vice-captain of the women's team. After all, Xie Mei and Yao Yueting are from the same group. And they are not bad people either."

"Okay! This will be announced tomorrow. I'll go back first!" Tian Dazhuang said and walked out of Gao Junsong's yard. After Tian Dazhuang left, Tian Xiuqin walked up to Gao Junsong and asked, "Are there new educated youth coming again?!"

"Yes!" Gao Junsong responded, "Come on! We are not the only team anyway."
