Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 233 The Weak Girl of the Age 40

After walking for a while, two female educated youth wearing small leather shoes started to complain about foot pain.

Yu Xingxiu frowned: "Can't you just try to overcome it? Now is the critical time for the summer harvest in the brigade. We don't have time to wait here for you to dawdle."

"Secretary, my feet really hurt, I really can't walk anymore"

"Then you can rest here. I don't have time to accompany you here." Then he asked Mr. Bai to continue driving the ox cart forward.

The other educated youths had no choice but to follow them, as they did not want to be left in an unfamiliar place.

When the two young women wearing small leather shoes saw that Yu Xingxiu didn't wait for them, the other young people followed him.

They didn't want to be left behind, so they supported each other and followed the team.

Yu Xingxiu glanced at the two educated youths and curled his lips. Isn't this possible to keep up...

When we got to Xingsan Brigade, the two young women wearing small leather shoes were about to cry.

The other educated youths' faces were not much better.

Master Bai patted the cow's neck and the cow stopped immediately: "You educated youth, hurry up and take down the luggage. The cow still has to go to the field to pull soybeans and corn."

The 11 educated youths were met with Yu Xingxiu's cold shoulder, and the little bit of anger in their hearts had long been worn away

One by one, they hurried forward to take down their luggage.

Yu Xingxiu clapped his hands and said, "Follow me, I will take you to the Youth Academy."

The 11 educated youths thought that they could rest when they arrived at the Youth House, so they all perked up and followed Yu Xingxiu.

But when they saw where they were going to live, they all looked at the adobe house with disdain.

"Ah~~~This is the Youth House..."

"How can we live in this house?"

Yu Xingxiu, the brigade secretary, frowned slightly: "How come it's uninhabitable? We have specially renovated this house and even cleaned it for you. What kind of house do you want to live in? A blue brick and tile house? Then you can build one yourself..."

An educated youth who was not short of money asked: "Secretary, how much would it cost to build it ourselves?"

Yu Xingxiu looked at the man and immediately smiled. If these educated youth could build houses with their own money, it would be a great source of income for the team! !

"It depends on what kind of house you want to build. But the brigade is busy now and has no time to build you houses. You can first consider what kind of house you want to build. By the way, you originally had one day of resettlement leave, but the brigade is busy now, so I will give you this day off after we are done with the work! After the work bell rings, you can go to the brigade to collect food. I have to go to the fields to work now, so you can clean up first." After saying that, Yu Xingxiu walked away in a hurry.

The 11 educated youths looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.

Su Lian pounded her aching calf, and walked in first with her luggage: "Let's pack up and rest for a while. We have to go to work in the fields tomorrow. We just arrived and it's time for the summer harvest, so we must be very tired."

With someone taking the lead, the other educated youths followed suit, carrying their luggage.

Although the team members working in the fields were very curious about the educated youth, the educated youth who came to the countryside were far less important than the crops in the fields.

Besides, they have already joined the team. There will be many opportunities to meet each other in the future. It doesn't matter if we meet now.

When Yu Xingxiu arrived at the field, he immediately found Tang Bei, with a somewhat worried tone: "There are 11 educated youths here at once, 7 of whom are female, and they all look so delicate and timid, they don't look like they can work in the fields. What if they starve to death in the brigade?"

Tang Bei patted Yu Xingxiu on the shoulder and said, "No, those educated youth who went to the countryside all received resettlement fees, and they may return to the city at any time. We just need to arrange jobs for them. The educated youth office of the commune will take care of the details. If it doesn't work out, we can just go find them."

The worry on Yu Xingxiu's face finally faded a lot: "By the way, an educated youth asked me about building a house."

Tang Bei straightened up and looked at Yu Xingxiu in surprise: "Oh, is she the one being taken advantage of? She built a house in the brigade, but she can't take it with her when she returns to the city. Don't let her cause trouble in the brigade again."

"I'll let them think about it first. If they really want to build the house themselves, we can just sign a document."

After cleaning, the educated youth found that there were still many things missing. They wanted to go to the commune to buy them, but they didn’t want to walk.

7 girls lying on the bed

One of the girls hugged her quilt and started crying: "Wow, I didn't expect life in the countryside would be like this. I want to go home..."

One girl cried, and the other girls started crying. Soon, all the girls in the room started crying.

Who is not leaving home for the first time...

The female educated youth stopped crying only after the bell rang.

Seeing the other person's embarrassed look, Zhu Ke'er suddenly laughed, and everyone laughed too.

After crying together, the relationship between the girls became closer.

They went to the brigade headquarters to find Yu Xingxiu to collect food.

Yu Xingxiu took out a notebook and said, "Do you want to borrow food or buy food? If you want to borrow, your work points will be deducted first when the work points are settled at the end of the year. If your work points are not enough, you will need to pay for it yourself. You have just arrived in the countryside, so the brigade can allow you to borrow food, but you will have to exchange it for work points later. Work points can only be obtained by working in the fields yourself. Think it over and tell me."

The educated youth were very confused. They had resettlement funds, but that was not inexhaustible.

After a while, except for Xiao Xin and Yan Xingyu, the other educated youth all chose to borrow food.

After completing the registration, Yu Xingxiu reminded them: "During the summer harvest and summer planting period, the working hours are from 5 am to 7 pm, with a half-hour break for lunch. You should prepare your own lunch and bring it to the fields. If you are late, your work points will be deducted."

The educated youth responded weakly: "Okay!"

Su Lian stood up and said, "Secretary, we still want to buy some pots and basins. Can you send us to the commune in a bullock cart? We can't cook without pots."

Yu Xingxiu frowned, then flipped through the calendar on the wall: "The cows are very tired today. If you need to buy anything, around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, someone from the supply and marketing cooperative will come to the countryside to sell things. You will be given one hour to buy things then."

Jiang Yiling: "Secretary, we also want to make some wardrobes and tables. Do you have anyone to recommend?"

Yu Xingxiu mentioned a few people, including Gu Jin: "These people have good craftsmanship, if you want to exchange things, you can go to them."

Xiao Xin and Yan Xingyu did not leave with the other educated youth

"Do you have anything else to say, young people?"

"Secretary, we two have made up our minds. We want to build a house in the brigade. If there are any vacant rooms in the brigade, we two would like to rent them."

Yu Xingxiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked the finance department to call the team leader over.
