Chapter 269 Repairing the Youth League Point
When Gu Yuehuai arrived at the educated youth site, the educated youth had all gotten up.
Huang Sheng still lives in the hospital and doesn't want to come back, so Chen Bin volunteers to stay and take care of him. After all, Song Jinan is not there, and even if Huang Sheng is a small leader among the educated youth, if he can make him happy, their life will be good in the future.
Cui Hejie, Yu Jianguo and Li Erxin all came back. When they saw Gu Yuehuai, they all looked listless.
Without the troublemaker Huang Sheng around, no one else would have the leisure to cause trouble for Gu Yuehuai.
"Sister Gu!" Wang Ziyan and Lei Yi were very enthusiastic and did not feel awkward at all about being with strangers.
Gu Yuehuai chuckled. It was a good thing that he could integrate into the educated youth point of the Dalaozi Production Brigade so easily.
She didn't chat much with the few people. She took a drawing board and casually drew a few pictures of the educated youth site in the yard. Some of the educated youth were squatting by the well washing dishes, while others were like Lei Yi, sweeping the yard. Everyone was doing their own thing, and it was very lively.
After working for a while, Gu Yuehuai put away the drawing board and began to inspect the house. He always had to have reasons and evidence when making requests, otherwise no one would buy it. It was impossible for a house that was about to collapse to leave no trace at all.
She walked around the yard and said, "This is quite a rewarding experience."
There had been continuous heavy rains over the past two days, which not only caused dampness inside the educated youth site, but also created many cracks on the exterior walls, and even the wall paint began to peel off on a large scale. These were signs that the house was about to collapse, but at this rate, it would probably take some time.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at the yard, his eyes flickered slightly, and he shouted: "Oh, why is the wall cracked?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she attracted Li Erxin's attention. He frowned and strode towards Gu Yuehuai. Looking at the cracks in the wall, he couldn't help but push his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He wiped it with his hand, and most of the wall fell off again.
He looked very serious and said to Gu Yuehuai, "Stand away, this house is no longer safe."
Gu Yuehuai glanced at Li Erxin and was slightly surprised. This man was actually smart and she didn't need to waste any more words on him.
Li Erxin, like Lan Tian, was an educated youth who had little presence in his previous life. The only thing she knew was that he loved reading and seemed to have been admitted to a good university. She was busy with her own affairs at that time, so naturally she had no time to pay much attention to this person.
However, Li Erxin is the only "good person" in the educated youth center besides Song Jinan.
The definition of this good man is not in the traditional sense, but when everyone ridicules, mocks, and even bullies Yan Shaoyu and his sister, he is the only neutral person and never participates in the open or secret struggles among them.
After Li Erxin reminded Gu Yuehuai, he quickly ran towards the other educated youth. They gathered together and said a few words. Then they all came here in a mighty manner. When they saw the miserable wall, they all felt as if they were facing a great enemy.
Cui Hejie was the first to speak: "This won't work. If the house collapses, people will die!"
Yu Jianguo also raised his hand and touched his flat head: "Guide Cui, please report this to the brigade secretary and ask them to find a way to repair this educated youth site. I don't want to be crushed by the MLZL house while I'm sleeping soundly."
Cui Hejie nodded, and suddenly looked at Gu Yuehuai, and said thoughtfully: "Editor Gu, this is what you found, why don't you come with me? With someone from your local area here, it will be easier to talk to the branch secretary, right?"
Gu Yuehuai was almost laughing out of anger. It was not enough that she "discovered" this matter, Cui Hejie actually wanted to push her out as a villain? It was precisely because she was a local that she could not talk to the branch secretary about the renovation of the educated youth site.
It is a difficult time now and the brigade is not well-off to begin with. Wouldn’t it be making the situation worse by spending more money on repairs?
Cui Hejie is smooth and accustomed to flattery. He wants to stay in the Dalaozi Production Brigade for a long time, so naturally he does not want to offend the branch secretary. Everyone is very clear about the current situation. Whoever brings up this matter will make things difficult for the brigade.
She really didn't have the heart to make things difficult for the branch secretary, but if the educated youth site wasn't repaired, there would only be more trouble in the future. Cui Hejie, on the other hand, insisted that she stab the branch secretary's heart with her own hands, thinking that he had finally found his conscience, but it turned out that he was still a dog that couldn't change its nature.
Cui Hejie seemed not to notice Gu Yuehuai's displeasure and asked, "What's wrong? Editor Gu is unwilling to help with this?"
He didn't mean to make things difficult for Gu Yuehuai, but it was just as she thought. He was worried about the houses for the educated youth, and he really didn't want to step out and be the bad guy, so he had to push Gu Yuehuai, a local, out as a shield.
Gu Yuehuai smiled casually and nodded, "Okay, let's go, I'll go with you."
Cui Hejie breathed a sigh of relief, said hello to everyone, and walked towards the branch secretary's house. Gu Yuehuai followed slowly behind him, and the two of them left the educated youth site, one in front and one behind.
"Is Sister Gu angry?" Jin Can looked at Gu Yuehuai's back and whispered to Lei Yi.
Lei Yi smiled bitterly and lowered his voice, "You know, we are short of food recently. The brigade is spending more than it earns. We haven't even calculated the food and work points to be exchanged for the members. How can we have the spare money to build a youth camp for us?"
"Sister Gu grew up in the Dalaozi Production Brigade. She must have a good relationship with the brigade cadres and would not be willing to force others to do things against their will. Guide Cui said this, clearly wanting Sister Gu to take the lead."
Jin Can was a little anxious and worried: "Ah? What should we do? Should we go and have a look together?"
Lei Yi shook his head: "We came to the Dalaozi Production Brigade with the help of Sister Gu. It's useless to follow them now. If they know that we are worried about Sister Gu, they will think that we are going there to show our strength and force the secretary to pay."
After the words fell, the atmosphere became cold. Wang Ziyan also looked worried, but she could only wait helplessly.
Yu Jianguo, on the other hand, didn't care. He yawned lazily, went back to his room and took a nap.
Li Erxin did not leave. He pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and finally did not follow. He has never been a person who is willing to take the lead. In fact, it is enough to leave this kind of thing to Cui Hejie, and there is no need for them, the educated youth, to worry about it.
On the way, Cui Hejie was not idle either, and chatted with Gu Yuehuai.
He slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Gu Yuehuai, saying a little embarrassedly: "Editor Gu, don't blame me. You are the most suitable person to talk about this matter. In the heart of the branch secretary, your words must be more effective than mine."
Gu Yuehuai was too lazy to pay attention and suddenly quickened his pace.
Cui Hejie frowned, a little displeased, but still followed shamelessly. To be honest, he was more curious about Gu Yuehuai than anyone else. This woman really didn't look like an ordinary country girl.
She is beautiful, talented, has a job, and is even quite charming. Not only did she seduce Yan Shaoyu into dating her, but she also managed to make Song Jinan fall in love with her. She is definitely a scheming and capable woman who should not be underestimated.
If he could help Song Jinan get Gu Yuehuai, how could the former not look at him differently?
