Tang Zihao, sitting on the back of the tractor, offered a cigarette to Director Wei and inquired about the situation:
"Director Wei, how is my cousin Tang Zixuan doing at our farm? I heard he got married. Have he and his wife built a house yet? Have they moved out? I'm his cousin, and I'd like to live at his house!"
In Tang Zihao's opinion, his cousin brought several hundred yuan with him when he went to the countryside, so he was much richer than him.
Besides the 30 yuan his mother gave him for emergencies, his father took all the subsidies he was supposed to receive for going to the countryside. He should just cling to his cousin's coattails.
Now that his cousin is getting married, he'll definitely need to build a house and move out. Living in the educated youth compound is nowhere near as comfortable as living at his cousin's house.
Staying at his cousin's house and getting special meals there, that would be great!
He has no idea what kind of life his cousin is living now. His cousin's life is worse than living in the educated youth compound!
At least you can eat your fill if you stay in the educated youth compound. But ever since he moved into Aunt Wang's house and ate with Aunt Wang and her two daughters, he and Bai Yueyao have never had a full meal!
The only consolation was that Aunt Wang's daughter, Douya, cooked cleaner food than the food prepared at the educated youth compound!
No matter how clean it is, people can't stand it if they're not full!
Upon hearing Tang Zihao say that he was Tang Zixuan's cousin, Director Wei looked at him with an indescribable expression.
The cigarette was already in his mouth, so it wouldn't be appropriate to return it to him. Director Wei really wanted to return it to him.
Seeing that Director Wei hadn't replied for a while, Tang Zihao thought he hadn't heard him clearly, so he asked the question again.
When pressed for answers, Director Wei had no choice but to reply:
“Your cousin didn’t build a house, but he definitely doesn’t live in the former educated youth compound anymore. He’s now living with your cousin-in-law, Bai, who was also an educated youth, at Aunt Wang’s house!”
Although Tang Zixuan didn't build a house, which disappointed Tang Zihao, at least he was living outside, which was better than living in the educated youth compound.
Before he came, he asked around among his friends and found out that the accommodations at the educated youth compound were terrible, and he didn't want to squeeze into a large dormitory with a bunch of people.
It's better to stay with my cousin; at least we don't live in cramped conditions!
Tang Zihao said happily:
"My cousin is amazing. He's only been here a short time, but he's already become so familiar with the villagers on the farm and even managed to borrow a house. That's really great!"
"Just park the tractor in front of my cousin's house later. I live with my cousin, so the two cousins can look after each other!"
After all, he had taken a cigarette from Tang Zihao. Manager Wei kindly reminded him:
"Actually, living in the educated youth compound wasn't so bad, and living in the villagers' homes wasn't as good as you think either."
"It's winter now, so it's warmer when everyone huddles together, don't you think?"
Tang Zihao was unaware that Director Wei meant well. He thought that Tang Zixuan knew he was coming in advance and didn't want to deal with him, this burden, so he specially greeted Director Wei!
Tang Zihao refused:
"I'm closest to my cousin, and I still prefer living with him!"
You can't reason with a devil who's already asking for trouble. Anyway, Director Wei has already warned him, and Tang Zihao is going to suffer the consequences himself, so there's nothing he can do!
Tang Zihao thought for a moment, then asked with a gossipy air:
"Director Wei, where is Xia Ning? Is she living with my cousin and the others?"
Based on Tang Zihao's understanding of Xia Ning, it's impossible for her to share a room with his cousin and Bai Yueyao!
Given his cousin's abilities, it's unclear whether Xia Ning was still able to be coaxed into living with him in a villager's house.
Xia Ning was staying at Grandma Bai's house, and how could Director Wei allow Tang Zihao to disturb Grandma Bai? He warned Tang Zihao:
