Chapter 12 Settlement



"Hello, I'm Guan Beibei, from Jing City."

Guan Beibei was somewhat embarrassed to be heard by a stranger complaining about herself. After introducing herself, she hid behind Zhou Yu.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yu, Guan Beibei's cousin."

"Hello, I'm Gu Qingmeng."

"Hello, I'm Su Xue."

Zhou Yu and Gu Qingmeng tacitly didn't introduce where they were from? Su Xue simply didn't say anything because she saw that Gu Qingmeng had nothing to say.

"Let me introduce you to the educated youth settlement. This courtyard is actually the house left by an elderly man who had no family in the village and passed away. Later, when the educated youth went to the countryside, it was used as a settlement. There are four main rooms, two for men and two for women. Ahem, the women's quarters seem to be full, so the three of them have to live in the side rooms. We all collected firewood together, so you can use it, but remember to put it back. Over there is the kitchen and dining area, and the toilet is in the back."

Li Xiangyang introduced everything to them in great detail, but Gu Qingmeng and the others thought his introduction was too detailed. They didn't need to mention that someone had died in the house!

They don't want to know.

"Well, you guys are going to the captain's house for dinner tonight. We won't be cooking for you. You guys clean up first and I'll go back to work."

Li Xiangyang only took an hour off, and it was almost time for him to go back to work.

To be honest, Gu Qingmeng's first impression of the educated youth site was not very good. He passed by several courtyards along the way, and without exception, they were all well-organized and very clean.

The educated youth site looked good on the surface and relatively clean when you entered, but the vegetable garden was a mess, with vegetables and weeds growing together, and the backyard was even worse. It was obvious that the educated youth at the site were not diligent.

Guan Beibei's face turned pale. She knew that it was hard to go to the countryside, but she didn't expect to live in a house that might collapse at any moment. She was a little upset and tears were streaming down her face.

"Beibei, don't cry! I'll go ask the captain if he has any better houses. We can rent two."

Zhou Yu was in a hurry to coax his sister. She was the apple of the family's eye. If something hadn't happened in his aunt's family, his sister wouldn't have been sent to the countryside.

Gu Qingmeng and Su Xue exchanged a glance. They were both mentally prepared and had a good ability to withstand the pressure. They had already died once before being transported here! What else could they do? The worst that could happen was that they would die again!

The two of them decided to build a house to live in separately. However, they had their own secrets and were picky, so they couldn't eat from the same pot.

"Beibei, Zhou Yu, Su Xue and I are planning to build a house, so we won't be living in the educated youth camp permanently."

Gu Qingmeng told her plan to avoid trouble.

"Build a house. You don't plan to return to the city. Besides, can the captain give you a place to build a house?"

Zhou Yu didn't understand. He had some guesses about the identities of the two people, but since they didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask too much. In his opinion, they were just going to the countryside for formalities and would return to the city sooner or later.

"We don't plan to return to the city at the moment, and we don't want to put ourselves in a difficult position, so we plan to build a house and give it to the village after we leave. I believe the captain won't refuse!"

Along the way, she noticed that the houses in the village were not close to each other and the yards were not small. It can be seen that there is no shortage of space in the village, and the villagers will definitely support building houses!

"But it's not safe for you two lesbians to live alone."

Especially beautiful female comrades, but Zhou Yu did not say this.

"I have two younger brothers here, and we live together."

This matter cannot be kept secret. Everyone will know about it when my brothers get off work. It is better to be frank and not say it.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu fell silent. Three siblings went to the countryside, and who would believe that there was nothing fishy going on? They were all smart people, and they knew what to ask and what not to ask.

"Mengmeng, can I live with you? I'm a good boy. Just having a place to stay is fine. I can also pay for building a house."

Guan Beibei had already forgotten about her cousin at this moment and only wanted to live with Gu Qingmeng and the others.

"Beibei, I'm sorry! My two younger brothers are grown up, it would be inconvenient for you to live with us." Gu Qingmeng refused with a smile. They had only known each other for one day and were not familiar enough to live together.

Guan Beibei also knew that she was being abrupt, so she shook her head to indicate that it was okay, and then she discussed building a house with her cousin. If they couldn't be roommates, they could be neighbors, as they weren't short of money either.

Just now, Gu Qingmeng learned from Li Xiangyang that there were a total of nine educated youths in the educated youth center, five male educated youths and four female educated youths. They each occupied two rooms in the main house, and the female educated youths shared a room. They could understand that they didn't want to intrude.

Just live in the wing room, you won’t stay there for too long anyway.

The kitchen is right outside the wing room, and what you see are two stove holes. Of course, there are no pots. There is no living room in the house, and visitors can only sleep on the kang, which is also a major feature of the north.

Although I was mentally prepared, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable looking at the earthen walls, earthen kang and earthen roof. The key point was that the earth was falling apart.

"Mengmeng! Do you think this house will never collapse?"

Su Xue couldn't help but worry. She still wanted to make a fortune and become a wealthy woman, but she couldn't be killed by a house!

"It should...not collapse!"

Gu Qingmeng didn't dare to guarantee it. The house did not look sturdy. The main house showed signs of repair, and the wing rooms looked like they had been in disrepair for a long time.

"Otherwise, we can just stay with the educated youth from the main house for a while."

Su Xue's heart was pounding and she didn't dare to live in this house.

Gu Qingmeng didn't want to squeeze into the main house. Did the old educated youth obviously not want to live with them? Forcing them to live together would lead to conflicts, and she didn't want to endure that. She might as well rent a house for a few months and make do.

"Gu Zhiqing, Su Zhiqing, how are you guys packing up? There's a carpenter in the village who can buy some cabinets that we can use."
