In this day and age, trust is a luxury.
After exchanging a few words, they parted ways.
Chen Xiangrong's big eyes showed a very curious expression.
"Gu Yunyang, you seem different from what I imagined."
These words were spoken from the heart.
Zhang Jianjun was much more direct: "This is indeed somewhat unexpected. You weren't this outstanding back in the capital."
Gu Yunyang shrugged and smiled helplessly, "You know the situation back then. No matter how outstanding you are, it's not good to show it off."
Zhang Jianjun was speechless for a moment, then said, "But even so, you are still a very outstanding young man in the capital."
How old are you, yet you dare to call other people "youngsters" all the time?
You're not much older than me.
A Mercedes-Benz tractor from the Red Star Brigade drove by, kicking up a lot of dust.
Zhang Jianjun and Chen Xiangrong hadn't expected this scene and were coughing uncontrollably.
Gu Yunyang smiled and waited for the dust to settle before saying, "That's how it is in the countryside. By the way, when we got to the village, our original educated youth settlement had two rooms, one for men and one for women, each with four bunk beds."
However, right now, the only male educated youth in the Red Flag Brigade is Brother Zhang.
There were six female educated youths, but two of them moved out.
There are only three female educated youths at the current educated youth settlement: Gu Changhong, Shi Junyao, and Fang Xinmei. Including Xiang Rongni, there are a total of six.
We originally planned to build single dormitories behind the main dormitory to see if any of the educated youth who came later wanted to move out on their own.
However, it's busy with farming right now, so there hasn't been time yet.
Gu Yunyang gave a brief explanation of the situation.
Zhang Jianjun quickly asked, "Have you moved out? Are you going to live with a fellow villager, or..."
“I built my own house. I also built my house halfway up the mountain. If you don’t like living here, you can move into my house for now.”
Zhang Jianjun had indeed helped before, and Gu Yunyang felt that it would be inconvenient for Zhang Jianjun to move in.
But he still made the suggestion.
But Zhang Jianjun wasn't the kind of person to be unreasonable. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm the only one from the Southern Educated Youth group. I live in a room by myself, it's fine. But I do plan to move out on my own. If I want to move out and build my own house, how much would it cost? Can the village approve the land?"
That's because you have acquaintances there; you can ask them any questions directly.
Zhang Jianjun also remarked that just a while ago, they had spent some time with the other educated youth at the commune gate.
Various problems have emerged one after another.
Some of the educated youth wanted to ask their brigade leader for information.
But all of these are difficult.
Most of the team leaders were very impatient.
That's true, everyone was a stranger, yet they looked down on the educated youth.
It's good enough that they can answer the questions.
"A mud-brick house would probably cost around fifty yuan to build. It would be roughly one room plus a kitchen."
If you want to build a brick house, two rooms would probably cost around two hundred yuan.
Gu Yunyang didn't hide anything and directly told them the situation: "However, the homestead belongs to the brigade and is the property of the village. You only have the right to use it."
Once you leave, regardless of whether you return to the city or not, as long as you don't come back, the ownership of this house will be reclaimed by the brigade or village.
Zhang Jianjun could accept this condition.
He's already left, what use is this house in the countryside to him?
Zhang Jianjun thought for a moment and then agreed: "Then, Yunyang, could you help me with the arrangements? I'd like to build two rooms too. But what about the bathroom?"
Yes, toilets in the countryside are a real hassle.
While flush toilets exist in Beijing, most households or communities still use dry toilets.
Gu Yunyang said, "I did build a biogas digester and a flush toilet behind my house, so the smell isn't that strong."
