Captain Liu's expression softened a bit after hearing her assurance. Thinking that the siblings didn't even have an adult at home, he felt a bit of pity in his heart. Just as he was about to speak to comfort them, another discordant voice interrupted him.
"That sounds nice, but where will he live if he doesn't take up resources? As long as he lives in the educated youth site, won't he still be taking up our resources? I won't agree to that." Zhao Xiaomei glared at Song Yun and her brother, and threw the luggage in her hand heavily on the ox cart, venting her dissatisfaction.
Captain Liu frowned. Although he disliked Zhao Xiaomei, the sarcastic female educated youth, from the bottom of his heart, he had to admit that what Zhao Xiaomei said was true.
Another male educated youth heard what Zhao Xiaomei said and immediately agreed: "He's a boy, he can't live with a bunch of female educated youth. If he is arranged to live with us male educated youth, will there be enough space?"
Captain Liu thought of the few remaining beds at the educated youth camp. Not to mention arranging a place for this little kid, even the educated youth in front of him would be difficult to accommodate.
Song Yun had thought about this matter a long time ago. She had to take Song Ziyi with her and secretly take care of her parents. How could she possibly squeeze into the educated youth site? It was not convenient at all.
"Captain Liu, I was just about to ask you about this. It's really inconvenient for me to live with my brother at the educated youth camp. Do you have any vacant houses in the village? I'd rent them for you. Is that okay with you?"
Captain Liu thought about it carefully and said, "Yes, there are some, but the conditions are not very good. I'll take you to see them when we get to the village."
After hearing what Song Yun said, no matter how much resentment and hatred Zhao Xiaomei felt, she couldn't express it and could only hold it in for now.
The other educated youth didn't know Song Yun well, and it wasn't like they had any feelings towards her. They just thought Song Yun was beautiful, and even the most ordinary blue coarse cloth shirt couldn't hide her natural beauty. Coupled with her tall figure, she was truly a very pleasing sight. Several male educated youth would secretly glance at her from time to time, but when they thought about her bringing a burden with her and how difficult her life would be in the future, they gave up. They were afraid that if they got involved, they would be unable to get rid of her, and no one had the ability to do so.
So no male educated youth came to talk to Song Yun along the way, and the other female educated youth also saw how powerful Song Yun was at the train station and didn't dare to get close to her, so it was quiet.
Song Yun didn't bother to pay attention to these educated youth who clearly disliked her. She followed Captain Liu and first asked about the Huaihua Society. After getting to know them, she took out two pieces of fragrant peach cakes, wrapped them in the oil paper used for buns, and handed them to Captain Liu. "You came all the way here to pick us up. You must have waited a long time. You haven't had lunch yet. Have some of this to fill your stomach first."
Captain Liu did come out in the morning, so we didn't have to wait until now on an empty stomach. We had some dry biscuits that we brought from home for lunch.
"No, no, I had some dry food at noon, you should take this quickly." Captain Liu refused.
Song Yun stuffed it into Captain Liu's hands without explanation, "Hey, it's not a treasure, why are you being so polite?"
Captain Liu couldn't argue with a young female volunteer, so he had to accept it. He didn't eat it either. He had two children at home, so he gave the rice to the children.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful for the food one has eaten. With these two pieces of peach cakes as a guide, Captain Liu became more and more friendly to Song Yun and answered almost every question. Song Yun soon got the information she wanted.
Qinghe Village is located at the foot of Heima Mountain. There are more than 10,000 households in the village. It is considered a well-known large village in the vicinity. Thanks to the resource-rich Heima Mountain and the Yuzhu Mountain Range behind it, no one has starved to death in the village even in the most difficult years. It is considered a village with a relatively good life in the surrounding area. The situation in Zouyang Village is similar to this one, so the authorities set up educated youth centers in these two villages.
Song Yun didn't dare to ask about the cowshed directly, so she asked in a roundabout way whether there were any vacant houses in the village, which had to be quiet and as far away from the villagers as possible.
