A Family of Three with a Kitchen Transmigrates to the 1960s

A short-tempered mom? A money-grubbing dad? A humorous trio of women were sent to the 1960s by a leaky electric kettle, bringing with them a kitchen that could infinitely replicate food and a space...

Chapter 222 Collective Households

When assigning personnel to the various brigades, no one intervened, and the director made his own decisions. However, after the final assignments were made, it turned out that the director's own village and Lijiawan had received the most people.

At that time, the educated youth settlements were called collective households. Secretary Jiang had previously addressed this requirement with the team leaders during a meeting of all the commune's production teams. Each team was required to build collective households in advance to house the educated youth. Furthermore, the rule was that men and women must live separately, not mixed, meaning they could not have two rooms in the same courtyard.

The collective housing estate in Guanjia Village, built right next to the brigade headquarters, consisted of four houses divided into two separate courtyards. The first six educated youth who arrived lived in both courtyards, so each courtyard occupied one room, leaving the remaining room unused.

Shortly after the four houses were built, the village was busy making money. As a result, the two unused houses were converted into nurseries. Because children would easily get cold on the ground, especially young children, they were more likely to get sick. To ensure the children could lie comfortably on the warm kang (kang), the kang was heated. This prevented the children from getting sick, and gave the parents more energy to work.

Not only that, this empty house has an extraordinary history! It was once used as a night school classroom. In short, in the past six months, whenever the village held a large-scale event and lacked a venue, everyone would think of these two empty houses. Taking into account the various difficulties and challenges that the educated youth who went to the countryside might encounter in this special era, Jiang Huashu deliberately built the educated youth site next to the brigade headquarters. Doing so can at least provide some protection for the educated youth to a certain extent. Within the scope of his ability, he sincerely hopes to do the best for these educated youth.

Fifth Grandpa often sighed, "The educated youth who were able to settle down in our commune are so lucky!" The first step of separating the male and female educated youth had been successfully completed. The next step, the director, Professor Dong, would take great pains. She would frequently "brainwash" these educated youth, teaching them lessons and making them understand what was unchangeable and what they should never try, otherwise they would regret it in the future.

When Jiang Huashu brought ten educated youth to Guanjia Village, it was the time for workers to change jobs in the handicraft factory. The villagers who were getting off work looked at the educated youth curiously.

The educated youth also stared at the large group of women with curiosity. It seemed their parents hadn't lied to them. Look at the spirits of the villagers, their faces rosy and radiant. What did that mean? They had enough to eat.

Look at the clothes, the styles are fashionable, there are waist-cinching styles that I have never seen before, and there are also fake two-piece styles that I have never seen before. Although they are not particularly bright colors, each piece looks better and better the more I look at it.

Wow, the shoes they wear are also beautiful, and the colorful pure cotton socks are something I have never seen before.

Shuishui had a bit of a plan: "If you're not allowed to wear colorful clothes, how about wearing colorful socks?" So, recently, a batch of thin, colorful cotton socks arrived at the production team warehouse. They were so beautiful in all their colors. And then, the sharp-eyed educated youth who had just arrived spotted them. They asked the women where they bought them. The women hadn't expected the city folk to be so welcoming. They'd already seen such a bustle upon arriving. Hadn't the first six educated youth arrived so arrogantly? Why was there such a drastic change with the second batch? They were a bit surprised.
