The soldiers came to rescue for three days and moved out all the belongings of the educated youth that were buried under the rubble.

After the snow stopped, the weather improved. Although the temperature was still very low, the sun came out.

The yard was full of rags left to dry by the educated youth.

There were a pile of dented kettles and iron lunch boxes, as well as quilts and clothes that had been frozen into strange shapes. Everything was basically unrecognizable from its original appearance, and the entire yard looked like a garbage dump.

Although the things were all tattered, they were all the remaining belongings of everyone. The educated youth did not go into the tents, but stayed outside to guard them.

Team leader Long Deshou came over and saw that the educated youth were all in the yard. He took a deep breath, clapped his hands and asked everyone to gather in front of him.

"Everyone come here, I have something to announce."

The educated youth vaguely sensed something.

After all the educated youth arrived, Long Deshou said, "I have some bad news. I must inform everyone. The troops will be evacuating in three days. The tents will be returned to them. It will take time to rebuild the educated youth dormitories. You need to find a good place to live as soon as possible."

These words immediately caused the educated youth to complain.

Although Rong Zhengqing told them about this matter two days ago, some people still hoped for the best, thinking that the captain would not really ignore them. Who would have thought that he would actually let them find a place to live on their own!

"Ah? Where are we going to find a place to stay at this time? Captain, you can't just ignore us."

"We've lost everything. We don't have any belongings now. Where can we find a place to live?"

"This icy and snowy weather is killing me! Why am I so unlucky!"

As Long Deshou listened to the complaints of the educated youth, his face became extremely ugly, with a hint of guilt and helplessness between his brows.

"Everyone knows the conditions in our village. If we really can't arrange accommodation, we should stop complaining and find a place to live quickly, so that we don't end up having nowhere to live when the time comes."

After saying what he needed to say, Long Deshou planned to leave.

When the educated youth saw his attitude, they realized that there was no turning back.

Someone with quick thinking stopped Long Deshou.

"Captain, can I stay at your house?"

When the educated youth heard this, they finally reacted and looked at Long Deshou expectantly.

Compared to staying with other villagers, they are more familiar with the team leader.

Long Deshou felt a little nervous under everyone's enthusiastic gazes, and said awkwardly, "I'm afraid not. I only have one empty room at home, and it's already occupied by an educated youth."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the educated youth suddenly turned gloomy.

The educated youth who asked the question suddenly had a dark face. Who was so quick?

The educated youth who had nowhere to live all looked unhappy.

At this time when the Chinese New Year is approaching, few families are willing to take in outsiders.

Even adding money won't help at this time.

What's more, their belongings were basically destroyed, and they are now in a situation where they are penniless.

"Hurry up and find a place to stay. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

Long Deshou was helpless in this matter, so he said goodbye to everyone and left.

He also had to discuss with the army about cleaning up the ruins of the educated youth dormitories. Now they needed to clear out the usable bricks and tiles, and the other debris had to be transported away. The damage also had to be counted and reported. There was a lot of work waiting for him.

Long Deshou left in a hurry.

The only ones left were the educated youth who were worried about their housing and looked at each other in bewilderment in the cold wind.

Seeing the educated youths' packaging, Rong Zhengqing and Nie Jinmei were very grateful. They followed Song Zhi and found a place to live early in the morning, otherwise they would be the ones worried now.

The temperature is now close to minus twenty degrees Celsius, and the educated youth who have nowhere to live really have no choice but to live in the cowshed.

The cowshed is cold and smelly, and is not suitable for human habitation.

Compared with reputation and life, the latter is more important.

Rong Zhengqing secretly felt lucky that Song Zhi was smart and had persuaded Ran Qiu. Otherwise, if he had not agreed, they really didn't know where else they could find a place to stay.

Following Song Zhi, there is indeed a future.

When Song Zhi came back, he found that the two of them were looking at him with particularly warm eyes.

She heard the educated youth complaining about finding housing and probably guessed the reason.

Over the next three days, Song Zhi and the others cleaned and packed up everything that could be used.

The three of them were lucky enough to have a lot of usable things, such as kettles and lunch boxes, which could still be used after a few cleanings.

The clothes and quilts could not be dried in a short time, so the three of them had to pack them up first and prepare to move to Ran Qiu's place and then light a fire to dry them.

While they were busy packing up, most people were still running around looking for accommodation.

The three days passed quickly.

The soldiers had already cleared the ruins of the educated youth dormitory. The usable bricks and tiles were neatly piled against the wall. The debris and snow were also cleared away, and the entire yard became empty.

The army gave them one day to move and would take away the tents at night.

Song Zhi and the others got up early and counted all their belongings. The three people's belongings piled together formed a small hill.

Ran Qiu's home was not very close to the educated youth site, and the three of them, with their thin arms and legs, could not move all the things at once, and walking several times would be too tiring.

"Don't worry, I'll go borrow a handcart from the captain."

Song Zhi thought of the handcart that Long Deshou and others used to transport snow, and suddenly had an idea.

The educated youth were moving out today and Long Deshou came early in the morning.

As soon as Song Zhi opened her mouth, he generously let her use it as she pleased.

The three of them packed up their things and put them up there.

The educated youth were extremely envious when they saw the three of them busy moving.

"I really envy you guys. You've already found a place to live, but we still haven't found one."

Someone sighed and said with a sad look.

They all regretted now that they had not taken Rong Zhengqing's words seriously before. If they had acted earlier, maybe they would have had a place to live.

Now the team leader and village cadres don’t care about them, and most villagers are unwilling to take them in.

Now they have really become the cabbages in the fields.

"So are you really going to live in the cowshed?" Nie Jinmei put the last package of things on the cart and asked everyone.

The homeless educated youth shook their heads and said bitterly, "We plan to stay in the warehouse of the brigade's pig farm for a while."

Although the smell in the pig farm is terrible, it is better than sleeping in the cowshed and freezing to death.

Seeing this, the three people didn't know what to say and planned to leave quickly.

The three of them were pushing the cart out together when Song Zhi suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Song Zhi!"

When I turned around, I saw Yin Ran and Tang Junhe, both wearing army green coats, striding towards me.
