Not long after everyone finished washing up, Sun Dongxu came back from outside. When he saw everyone in the yard, he grinned.
"Hey, everyone's up! Looks like your estimate was about right!"
"Grandson!"
As soon as a boy opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Sun Dongxu.
"No, no, no, comrade, we are all comrades. You can call them Comrade Sun or Sun Zhiqing. It doesn't matter whether you are a senior or not. That's just for the villagers to hear."
Everyone smiled after hearing this, and felt a little closer to this chief.
But Wen Nuan knew that despite what Sun Dongxu said, he actually liked others to like him for a long time, as if he was really a serious leader.
To put it bluntly, he is addicted to being an official! He is quite hypocritical! The Son Dongxu that everyone sees now is the Son Dongxu that he has shown.
In fact, Sun Dongxu is not that enthusiastic and is indifferent to everyone in her heart. When she was targeted in her last life, this director never helped to mediate once.
They just watched her struggling alone with indifference, because Zhang Zhenzhen's family was well-off and she was occasionally generous, so they all took advantage of her.
And Wen Nuan is just a poor ghost, who can't even have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear.
"Then it's you, Comrade Sun, surnamed Li, Li Datong, who wants to find out where in the village there is a shop selling cabinets!"
"Hello, Comrade Li. I was just about to talk to you about this. You just arrived and there must be a lot of things you need to prepare.
This time I came back, first I would introduce you to some of the rules and regulations of the educated youth camp, then I would take you to collect rations and buy furniture.
But now it’s not a good time to buy and sell. We are going to exchange with fellow villagers. They need money and we need a locker. There is no such thing as buying and selling, you know?”
"I see, I just said the wrong thing!"
"It's okay, it's okay, these are just my problems. You will all know them after a long time!"
Sun Dongxu took a look at the twelve educated youths, with a gleam in his shrewd eyes. Just based on the way these people were dressed, Sun Dongxu divided them into different levels in his mind.
"Next, let me talk about eating at our educated youth center. Now, at our educated youth center, everyone eats together.
The boys were responsible for chopping wood and fetching water, while the girls were responsible for cooking and washing dishes. They took turns on duty according to the schedule, and everyone handed in rations according to their own appetite. They ate as much as they handed in.
The vegetable garden in the girls' dormitory was planted by us old educated youth. Of course, if you choose to partner with us, the vegetables in the garden can naturally be shared with everyone.
But if you want to eat on your own, you have to open up your own vegetable garden, and you have to bring your own pot and stove. The things in the kitchen of the educated youth center now belong to the old educated youth."
Sun Dongxu paused here, and then talked about the time of taking off and putting on the clothes, as well as the precautions for collar food.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Now I will take you to the brigade headquarters to collect rations, and by the way I will tell you where Carpenter Zhang’s home is!
As for the matter of eating together, you don't have to rush, think about it carefully first."
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Sun. We are new here and are lucky to have such an enthusiastic and responsible leader like you. Otherwise, we newcomers would be at a loss!"
"No, no, this is what we should do. You are too polite!"
Looking at Sun Dongxu who was being flattered by several boys, Wen Nuan turned her head and rolled her eyes. It was really a bit eye-irritating.
The group followed Sun Dongxu and went to the brigade headquarters in a mighty manner. Wen Nuan was thinking about how to move the educated youth site at this time.
She didn't want to hang out with these hypocritical people all day long. She didn't want to waste her time. She might as well practice martial arts instead.
She had never had the right opportunity to practice Yin Yang Tai Chi, and now she was only at the beginner level.
If you want to improve your actual level, you have to study hard and practice diligently. After all, practicing martial arts is not something that can be achieved overnight.
Therefore, even if it was for the purpose of training martial arts, I couldn't live in the educated youth camp all the time. Not only would there be too many people around, there would be too much gossip, and there would be no privacy at all.
But how and where to move is still a problem. She didn't have the conditions in her previous life, so she never paid attention to information in this regard.
After all, at that time, I was either busy working or thinking about how to avoid being teased by Zhang Zhenzhen and others.
In the brigade headquarters, accountant Zhao Xigui was sitting at the table, writing and calculating, looking very busy.
“Dongdong…”
Sun Dongxu knocked on the door twice before walking in.
"Uncle Zhao is busy! Bring the new educated youth here to get their rations!"
Zhao Xigui put down his pen, sighed, glanced at the new educated youth behind Sun Dongxu, curled his lips and said:
"There are twelve new educated youth in total, right? The captain has talked to you about this. Are you guys going to buy it yourself? Or are you going to pay for it yourself?"
When he said the last few words, Zhao Xigui couldn't help but emphasize his tone. It seemed that he hoped the new educated youth would spend money to buy it.
After all, there was not much food left in the brigade, and there was not much money in the account. If the new educated youth chose to buy it with their own money, then there would be an extra charge on the brigade's account.
It's a pity that most of the educated youth chose to repay their debts. After all, there were only a few people like Zhang Zhenzhen who came from well-off families.
Although other educated youth also brought money with them when they went to the countryside, the amount was limited after all, and they kept it for emergencies. No one wanted to spend the money on this.
Although Wen Nuan was rich, she chose to pay off her debts in a very low-key manner. She could earn it back anyway.
In her previous life, in order to make a living, she earned five yuan a day when she first arrived in the countryside, but in the later years she earned an average of eight yuan a day.
In the countryside, a woman who can win eight wives is considered very successful. Many aunties and grandmas in the village have praised her. Unfortunately, she is too timid, so...
But she didn't work so hard in her life. She was just fine with six coins on a regular basis. After all, most of the female educated youth at the educated youth point only got six coins.
There are only a few like Zhang Zhenzhen, who have only four or five children. If it weren't for the financial support from their families, they would have starved to death in the countryside.
After taking care of the food issue, Sun Dongxu took everyone for a walk around the village.
The location of the captain's house was introduced in detail, as well as the locations of several other village cadres' homes, and finally the location of Carpenter Zhang's home.
After delivering all the rations to the educated youth site, Sun Dongxu went back to work, and the new educated youth also went to Carpenter Zhang's house together.
On the way to Carpenter Zhang's house, Li Datong took the initiative to start the conversation.
"Comrades, what do you think about partnership? Do we, the new educated youth, want to have dinner with the old educated youth?"
"Let's eat together! Otherwise, you have to buy a pot and other things yourself. Everything else is easy, but you need a business certificate to buy a pot. Do you have one?"
When the word "wine coupons" was mentioned, everyone was silent again. At this time, "wine coupons" were a good thing. Not only could they be used to buy iron pots, but also many other things!
Unfortunately, the number of business coupons is limited and demand often exceeds supply.
Wen Nuan had a lot in her hands, but she would not rush to be a sucker. At this time, selfless dedication was not necessary.
"Since no one has a business voucher, we can only team up with the old educated youth!"
"There's nothing wrong with partnering up. We can share the vegetable fields, and we don't have the experience of the old educated youth."
"You are right!"
