Zhou Jiazhen said, "Don't just stare.
Go and pack your things. See if they're crushed. "
Zhao Lanxiang didn't even have time to enjoy the good noodles and meat she bought. She threw herself into the ranks of the nervous rescue team.
The captain, Li Dali, received the news and quickly rushed over.
He looked at the collapsed old house. His thick eyebrows were full of bitterness. Because last year's harvest wasn't good,
The brigade was so poor that they couldn't afford to give out relief food. Right now, it was a time of shortage. How could they have so much money left over to build houses for these educated youths?
The educated youths surrounded him and asked him what to do. Li Dali wiped his face and said firmly, "Don't worry.
I'll arrange a place for each of you to live. Tonight, you'll stay in the homes of the villagers temporarily … As for how to distribute it, I'll go back and think about it. Now you — "
Li Dali wanted to let them go out to play, but after seeing the fair and clean skin of Zhao Lanxiang, he swallowed his words.
It wasn't good to let these delicate girls out.
What if something happened?
Li Dali said, "Come with me.
The house where the brigade keeps the farm tools is still empty. It's still possible for you to rest during the day. "
Zhao Lanxiang and the others temporarily put their luggage and belongings in the house where the brigade kept public assets. They looked at each other in dismay.
The male educated youths had it the hardest. Their faces were covered with mud.
They wiped their faces with their big hands. Their faces were as black as Mr. Bao's, making the female educated youths laugh. Jiang Li came back happily in the afternoon and found that all the things she confiscated in the box were smashed.
Her face was gloomy.
She didn't like anyone. After the captain left,
She sneered.
"What kind of broken place is this."
Zhao Lanxiang silently rolled her eyes in her heart. She knew that this was a broken place, but she still came. Zhao Lanxiang couldn't understand.
However, she was already so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. She didn't have time to guess what Eldest Miss was thinking. She borrowed a firewood shed from the neighboring families and cooked meat buns and vegetable noodles with Zhou Jiazhen. Zhao Lanxiang was especially willing to use the oil. She used all the oil she had. An hour later, her buns were ready. The buns were made with the best quality flour and lean pork. They were oily, tender, and fluffy. While everyone was starving in the farming tool room, she and Zhou Jiazhen were slurping noodles in the farmhouse next door.
The fragrance drifted in the room, attracting the other educated youths to look over. Seeing Zhou Jiazhen enjoying the food, they became hungrier. Seeing this, Zhao Lanxiang did not hide anything. She invited everyone to eat together. She took out some leftover dough from the noodles and gave it to the educated youth who had an empty stomach. Although it wasn't much, it could fill their stomachs with the hot soup.
Zhao Lanxiang's behavior made the educated youths, who had no house to stay, feel better. Their good impression of this cold and taciturn educated youth rose to a higher level. Although Zhao Lanxiang didn't invite them to eat buns, it was delicious to eat the dough with bean sauce. After all, flour was fine grain, and pork was also rare. It was already a great advantage to freeload a meal of fine grain.
Jiang Li didn't return to the educated youth's place until she was full. After a hard labor of packing, the food in her stomach was almost digested. When Zhao Lanxiang made the buns, she smelled the fragrance. It was very tempting. Smelling the fragrance, it was more fragrant than the buns sold in the state-run restaurant she had eaten. But Zhao Lanxiang didn't invite her to eat with her, and Jiang Li also didn't put down her face to eat.
Until she watched Zhao Lanxiang swallow the last bun into her stomach, and didn't say a word about inviting her to eat the buns. Jiang Li's eyes were wide open, and she was full of anger.
Zhao Lanxiang's enthusiasm for her brother was like a piece of sticky candy, and she couldn't get rid of it. Some time ago, her brother was hospitalized. She casually mentioned it, and Zhao Lanxiang hurriedly bought a bunch of nutritional products. She didn't even blink her eyes. Her brother ate until now, he still couldn't finish it. Who would have thought that Zhao Lanxiang wouldn't even give her a meat bun when she came to the countryside?
When she passed by Zhao Lanxiang, she coldly said, "I already wrote a letter to my family this weekend. Don't expect me to say anything good about you."
With that said, she lifted her feet and strode out of the farming tool shed.
Zhao Lanxiang touched her full stomach contentedly and didn't pay attention to Jiang Li. Zhou Jiazhen turned to whisper to her, "You know each other?"
Zhao Lanxiang vaguely said, "We're from the same place, but we're not familiar with each other."
Zhou Jiazhen said indignantly, "Seriously, she still has that look of disdain in front of the brigade leader. There's nothing to criticize about the brigade leader. He's very dedicated and responsible. There are often cases of people starving to death in the other brigades. Although our brigade doesn't have enough to eat, we're still given enough food every year. If she really thinks we're poor, why did she go to the countryside? "
Zhao Lanxiang smiled but didn't say anything. She lowered her head and mended the hole in her clothes. The needle and thread went through her snow-white shirt, and she used a plain blue silk thread to trace a flower on her sleeve. The area where the branch had caught the tear looked even more exquisite and beautiful.
Zhou Jiazhen's attention was quickly attracted by the flower. It was extremely rare.
She let Zhou Jiazhen look at the clothes. She held her chin and looked at the blue sky. She was in a good mood.
The collective dormitory of the educated youths had collapsed. She didn't know how the brigade leader would allocate their accommodation. She … didn't want to go anywhere except the old man's house.
…
Zhao Lanxiang was thinking about living in the old man's house. Li Dali was scratching his head about the allocation of accommodation for these educated youths.
He talked until his mouth was dry, so he specially gathered the villagers to discuss. Although the title of educated youths sounded good, they came in the name of building a new socialist countryside. In the end, they really did construction. However, the construction made them even poorer. If they asked themselves honestly, no one was willing to take in these educated youths.
Li Dali said patiently, "You don't have to worry about their meals. They're just lodging for a while. When the educated youths' dormitory is built, you don't have to bother. If you don't agree, then everyone can take turns. Anyway, there are only a dozen educated youths in the dormitory. Each family will receive them for a month. It's fair for everyone, and we can save the money of building a house for them. "
When the villagers heard this, they couldn't sit on their stools.
"Hey — Captain, aren't you tricking us?" This was the straightforward and impatient group.
"No, no. How can each family live for a month? It's not stable. Those students probably don't want to. "This was the indirect group.
"It's better to draw lots and let the family that gets them." This was the adventurous group.
Everyone pushed back and forth and discussed for a long time. Li Dali decided to let the cadres set an example and accept the educated youths. The brigade leader and the branch secretary would accept two, and the deputy leader and the deputy party secretary would each accept one. The rest of the villagers drew lots among themselves.
They simply didn't care about their meals. They just needed to clean up a room for the educated youths to live in. Even so, many people didn't want to lose out.
Li Youfu's family got three, Li Jianguo's family got three, He Guoqing's family got three, and He Aijun's family got two. The families that didn't get any educated youths secretly sighed in relief. They hid their happiness in their hearts and didn't reveal it. Instead, he patted the three families and said openly, "Don't worry, those students are all sensible. Who knows, they might even have to subsidize your rent and food every month!"
Li Jianguo's wife put her hands on her waist and pointed at one of the educated youths on the list. She said, "Our family wants these three."
The three she pointed at were Jiang Li, Zhao Lanxiang, and Tang Qing. These three educated youths were usually dressed neatly and had good manners. They looked smart and charming, and they looked like real city people. Every two or three days, they would either go to a restaurant or buy meat to eat. They were so well-off that the villagers couldn't help but be envious. If they really accepted these three people, they might be able to eat some meat.
The other three families immediately became unhappy. As a result, they quarreled again. In order to compete for these "rich people" among the educated youths, they quarreled fiercely, making Li Dali's head throb.
He slammed the table hard and angrily scolded, "Shut up, all of you! What's the point of arguing!"
Li Dali, the captain, had a doughy temper. He looked fierce, but he was actually a good person. He was very dignified in the brigade. Even the fiercest woman in the brigade didn't dare to provoke him.
The secretary finally said, "This won't do, that won't do. Whoever wants to take the initiative to accept the educated youths, come forward. How can you only think about taking advantage of others? "
In the end, due to the captain and the secretary's feelings, several families hesitantly came forward, reducing the pressure on the other three families. On average, each family only accepted one or two people. The pressure wasn't great, and it was still within an acceptable range.
After Li Dali sent everyone away, he collapsed.
He wiped his face with a handkerchief and said to the secretary, "How to arrange and distribute these comrades is also a headache."
The secretary humorously said, "Why do you still care? Don't they have hands?"
Li Dali patted his forehead and said with understanding, "Then let them choose. Won't I be tired to death if I manage this and that?"
In the afternoon, Li Dali went to the temporary educated youths' residence to announce his decision. He would let the educated youths choose their own place to stay until the end of the year, when the brigade had enough food, and then they would build new dormitories.
There were a total of eight families on the list that were willing to accept the educated youths. Zhao Lanxiang searched everywhere but couldn't find the shadow of the old man.
She wrote another note for the old man in the small account book, but on the surface, she said with a smile, "Reporting to the captain, I've already solved my own accommodation problem. There's no need to add to the burden of the brigade."
Li Dali glanced at her. This female educated youth with big watery eyes stared straight at him. Her stare made his heart heat up and beat fiercely. His charcoal-like face was not very comfortable. He said with a strong local accent, "I know, which family?"
