Because the door was not closed, the conversation between the few people naturally spread to the room of the male educated youth next door...

After hearing this, Fu Nianhua's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Wang Aiguo and asked,

"Comrade Wang, can we educated youth still rent a house in the village, or even build one?"

Wang Aiguo nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Yes, if we educated youth want to live in a more spacious place, we can also go to the team leader and rent a room for ourselves."

He paused, then continued, "It's just that... our brigade only has three rooms left for rent. If you want to move out... you'd better hurry."

"Only three rooms left? There are also many educated youth living there?" Fu Nianhua's eyebrows moved slightly.

"Well, there are also six educated youth living in that courtyard over there. Among them are a couple, a pair of brothers, and the remaining two educated youth each have their own room."

Fu Nianhua lowered his eyes thoughtfully, remained silent for a while, and continued to ask,

"Then what about what they said about being able to build your own house?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Aiguo looked at him carefully and found that although he was dressed simply, his aura was hard to conceal.

The calmness and composure that naturally emanates from his every gesture and movement seems as if time and upbringing have engraved this temperament into his bones.

It makes people realize in an instant that the person in front of them was not born in an ordinary family.

Wang Aiguo moved his fingers slightly and smiled kindly.

"Yes, we educated youth...if we have the means, we can also build our own houses in the village. However...the houses we build only have the right to live in. When we return to the city in the future, the houses will belong to the village."

Fu Nianhua nodded, expressing his understanding. "So, do I need to apply for the homestead from the team leader?"

"Yes, if you want to build your own house, you can ask the team leader to allocate you a piece of land. It's not the busy farming season now, and the villagers have enough manpower. It won't take long for them to help you build the house."

Fu Nianhua smiled gently, having already made up his mind: "Okay, I understand. I'll have to trouble Comrade Wang to help me clear up my confusion."

"Comrade Fu, you're too polite. We're all educated youth sent to the countryside. We should unite as one and help each other. If you have any questions or concerns in the future, please feel free to come to me."

"Thank you, Comrade Wang," Fu Nianhua responded politely.

Wang Aiguo smiled and waved his hand. "Everyone, don't be so formal. You should first think about whether you want to live in the educated youth camp or move out. I'll take you to the brigade to collect rations and take care of these matters while I'm there."

Liu Jianjun, with a righteous expression, immediately spoke out: "I won't move out. I think living in the educated youth camp is pretty good. Three or four people to a room is fine with me. I also share a room with my two younger brothers at home."

Upon hearing this, Wang Aiguo turned his gaze to Fu Nianhua.

Fu Nianhua's smile was still gentle, and no emotion could be seen in his eyes.

"Let the female educated youth choose first. If there are no vacancies left, I will build a room for myself."

If nothing unexpected happens, there should be no extra rooms.

Yang Liu has been spoiled by her family since she was a child, so naturally she would not be willing to live in the same room with so many people.

The family conditions of the other two female educated youth should also be pretty good.

Judging from the way they dress and eat, I guess they are the favored children in the family.

Moreover, from their previous conversation, we can tell that they are quite resistant to living together with so many people.

So, if things go as expected...he will have a legitimate reason to go out and build a house to live in soon.

The facts were exactly as he thought.

When the three female educated youth heard that there were still a few empty rooms available for rent in the courtyard, they immediately expressed their desire to go to the team leader to rent a house.

Although the rent of one dollar a month is quite painful.

But compared to being squeezed into a room with so many people... they instantly put aside the reluctance in their hearts.

So...

When Wang Aiguo and a few educated youth went to collect food rations...

Several female educated youth also registered their information with the team leader and paid half a year's rent.

Prepare to move directly to the courtyard with food and luggage.

Fu Nianhua also took this opportunity to ask the team leader to build a house for himself.

The team leader naturally would not refuse. After explaining to him the final ownership of the land, he agreed immediately.

actually......

The team leader and village cadres had already held a special meeting to discuss this before the new educated youth arrived...

There may be more and more educated youth assigned to the area in the future, and accommodation will also be a problem.

Therefore, if there are educated youth who are willing to pay for their own housing, they will naturally be willing to do so.

This will not only alleviate some of the housing pressure...

When these educated youth return to the city one day, the village will get a few more houses for free, and both sides will benefit.

So after the captain agreed, he also kindly told Fu Nianhua that he could help if there was any need for manpower and materials.

It's just a matter of talking anyway.

It can also provide additional income for families in the village that are slightly less well off, so why not do it?

Besides, isn’t he asked to take better care of himself from above?

While taking care of Fu Zhiqing, I can also earn some income for the villagers. It’s simply the best of both worlds!

The captain stroked his non-existent beard and looked at Fu Nianhua with an increasingly kind smile.
