The walls of the two main rooms were intact, but the windows and doors looked quite old, and the windows weren't made of glass, but rather covered with paper.

As for the situation inside the house, it was not clear at the moment, because it was already completely dark, and only a faint yellow light could be seen coming from the two rooms.

Chen Shuning couldn't see anything else clearly, so he stopped looking and quietly waited for the captain's instructions while carrying his luggage.

While secretly observing the situation at the educated youth compound, Chen Shuning was also thinking about where would be a suitable place to build his future house.

On the way, Chen Shuning learned from the brigade leader that there were few male educated youths and many female educated youths at the educated youth settlement. This time, the six of them were probably not enough to stay, so the brigade leader secretly intended to have some of them join the villagers.

However, Chen Shuning had no intention of joining the villagers. Firstly, their lifestyles were definitely different, and secondly, as a young girl, it was better to be cautious. In this era where reputation could be a killer, if she were unlucky enough to run into a malicious family who plotted against her by ruining her reputation in order to get a wife for free, she would be left with no recourse but to cry.

After all, such things have happened before. Whether it was the novels Chen Shuning had read before or the rumors he had heard in the original owner's memories, there were precedents for such things.

Moreover, Chen Shuning had long planned to build a house in the educated youth compound with Zhong Lingling. This would ensure safety, prevent her from leaving the organization, and allow her to have her own little space. Wouldn't that be much better than living with villagers?
