On one side, there was a mountain of firewood piled up inside. On the other side, looking at the protruding chimney and the blackened walls outside, you knew that it must be the kitchen.

Looking at the different shades of green and red bricks on the wall, Ruan Mengmeng guessed that the house should be newly built.

Moreover, these materials and bricks should have been collected from a building somewhere and are considered secondary use.

She guessed correctly that the educated youth center in Zhangjia Village was built only a few years ago.

Compared with other brigade captains, village chief Zhang Wende is hundreds of times better and more reliable than them.

He doesn't like to play tricks. He is a man who gets things done. No matter what happens, he always thinks about the people at critical moments.

Including this youth educated youth site, many people in other villages live in dilapidated courtyards or earthen kilns.

Not only can leaks freeze people to death in winter, it is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you can even lose your life!

Everyone in the countryside is poor. They have nothing to eat or drink. They are lucky to have a place to live. The village chief doesn’t bother to care about so many things!

Since the higher authorities did nothing, the villagers became unbridled and bold, which caused great hardship to many female educated youth. They were in great trouble.

Many girls aged seventeen or eighteen were targeted in various ways when they went to the countryside.

The result was that either they got married or threatened to commit suicide, and in the end, the whole incident became known to everyone.

Later, as this kind of thing happened more and more, many people noticed something was wrong and some even went to report it.

After the leaders above found out, they sent people down to investigate and discovered that there was something fishy.

It took replacing several village chiefs and arresting many people before this kind of incident was gradually curbed.

It is impossible to say that there is absolutely no such thing now.

However, it is true that it is not as frequent as before and the villagers are not as bold as before.

"Hello, my name is Wu Fanghai. There are six of us here who were educated youth. We all went to the countryside a few years ago. Cheng Chao and I were among the first group."

Seeing that everyone was exhausted and sat down to rest, Wu Fanghai began to introduce himself.

"Why don't you see anyone else?"

Jiang Feipeng glanced at the empty yard and asked in doubt.

"It happens that today is my day off. The other five are still working. You can only see them when we get back from work in the evening!"

"Oh! So that's how it is!"

Several people suddenly realized that this was the case. They did not come to the countryside to play, but to work in the fields.

"As you can see, there are eight houses here, four in the front and four in the back."

Wu Fanghai pointed to the two rows of houses in the backyard and showed them to everyone.

"We, the old educated youth, four women and two men, have taken up three rooms, two people will live in one, and there are five rooms left. You can divide them up according to your needs!"

This way of allocation will reduce conflicts and prevent him from putting people with different tempers into the same room without understanding the situation.

I have to say that the leader of this educated youth site does have some brains.

"The kitchen and woodshed are on opposite sides of the house, and we eat together."

Wu Fanghai pointed to the temporary sheds on both sides of the house and introduced them to everyone.

"We take turns cooking, two people in a group. We'll redistribute the work when the old educated youth come back."

After looking at the miserable appearance of these people, Wu Fanghai pointed to the back of the house;

"There's a well in the backyard. If you need water, go get it yourself!"

They had been on the train for several days and were in a mess. Plus, they had to clean the house soon, so they would definitely use a lot of water.

"That's all for now. Once you've packed up your luggage, I'll take you to get your rations!"

Wu Fanghai gave a brief introduction to the current situation.

We’ll talk about the rest when we have dinner together tonight!

It’s hard to explain it right now, so I’ll redistribute it when everyone is gathered.

After saying this, he turned around and went back to the house. He wanted to wash his face and tidy up so that he could take these people to the brigade headquarters to collect rations.

Seeing Wu Fanghai leave, the others looked at each other;

Xia Xiaojing first approached Ruan Mengmeng and smiled;

"Mengmeng, let's live in the same room!"

She is not familiar with anyone, and Xiao Yan has eyes on the top of her head. She is not easy to mess with and is quite violent.

Liu Jianing appears weak on the surface, but in fact she is a scheming white lotus. Xia Xiaojing had seen through it a long time ago, so it is impossible for her to live with her.

There are four girls in total, and if I have to choose, it can only be her and Ruan Mengmeng.

Seeing the current situation, Ruan Mengmeng knew that it was impossible to have an independent space.

I can only bear it for now, and then find a way to move out after some time.

"Yeah, okay!"

Ruan Mengmeng agreed to Xia Xiaojing.

This girl has a nice personality and it's okay to live with her.

Jiang Feipeng called Wang Junwei to walk towards the old educated youth.

Zhu Xiaomao had no choice but to live in the same room with Li Shuai.

The remaining Liu Jianing wanted to occupy a house for himself.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan on the side disagreed.

Xiao Yan always remembered the scene of complaining on the train!

How could he let her go so easily?

Without waiting for Liu Jianing to resist, Xiao Yan grabbed her and walked towards the room.

"Let me go, what are you doing!"

Liu Jianing was so scared that he was shaking all over and couldn't help but ask loudly.

“Guess…”

Xiao Yan gave her a look that said, "You know better than me," and carried her into the room.

As for what happens next, that is no one else's business.

Ruan Mengmeng and the other two stood there, looking at each other, hiding their smiles and with strange expressions;

"Little brother, you can live in the room next to ours!

Ignoring these, Ruan Mengmeng came back to her senses and said to Ruan Zilong;

"Okay, sister!"

Ruan Zilong had no objection to his sister's arrangement.

It's just separated by a wall, and it's no different from being at home except that there are more people.

Ruan Mengmeng and Xia Xiaojing opened the door and moved the packages in the yard in one by one.

When they pushed the door open, the two were still a little uncomfortable. They coughed a few times and quickly covered their mouths and noses.

After getting used to the situation for a while, the two of them put their things in place.

The room was empty, with nothing in it except a shabby earthen bed.

The door was dilapidated and several wooden boards were missing from the middle.

Not to mention the windows, which were not only broken but also rotten. Don't even expect glass or window screens, there was not even a piece of paper covering.

Glass is a rare thing these days and is rarely seen in the countryside.

It’s great to have a place to live without having to squeeze into a big bunk bed with a bunch of people. What else do you want?

In previous novels, when the heroine went to the countryside, she would be crowded together with more than ten or twenty people. It was so painful.

Ruan Mengmeng didn't expect to have something like glass. She planned to paste it with newspapers when the time came, and she happened to have brought a lot of old newspapers.

The land was ordinary land, not old enough to be inhabited for long. It was damp and moldy, and even had weeds and saplings that I didn’t recognize growing on it…
