"Good, good, very good." The branch secretary was so angry that he laughed.
He looked at the group of new educated youth from the city again, and finally gave some kind advice: "I advise you to stay away from those old educated youth in order to have a better life in the future."
Aren't they far enough away?!
The Party Secretary said: "Okay, gather the money, hurry up, and don't delay me from going to work."
The new educated youth looked at each other, but didn't want to move.
Seeing that his authority was useless here, before the secretary got angry, Dawei gave a suggestion: "Secretary, why don't you give me their food?"
The branch secretary was silent for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, the other new educated youth began to talk at once.
"No! Secretary, without food, what will we eat?"
"Yes, Secretary, you can't just watch us starve to death, right?!"
"Secretary, you can't be so biased. It's obviously not us who did it, but you're trying to pin the blame on us and even want us to pay for it with our food supplies! I'm the first one to disagree!"
"Branch Secretary!!!"
The branch secretary ignored them and said to Dawei, "That food is definitely not enough to compensate. So, the food they earn from their work points in the next few months will be used as compensation..."
Dawei discussed with him as they walked out of the courtyard, "This is not a good idea. Food needs food coupons to buy, and my shirt... oh, I remember, I need cloth coupons for this shirt too."
Others: 凸(艹皿艹)
Dawei: "This shirt is indeed expensive, but if you sell so many of them, one person can't make much money. Food? Food...it all depends on the branch secretary."
The first half of his sentence was a kind reminder to these people. But judging from the tone of the branch secretary, he was probably just trying to scare these new educated youth, and he was happy to cooperate.
The Party Secretary said: "I will handle things impartially! Let's go and see the yard first, and then we'll see how much food to allocate to you..."
"Secretary! We will pay!!!"
…
Dawei left the Youth League Institute with a smile on his face.
Without counting the money, he stuffed it into his bag and turned to meet the secretary's gaze.
He smiled innocently: "Thank you, Secretary."
"There won't be a next time."
Dawei didn't respond.
Of course there won't be a next time. I've already completely offended the Youth League Institute.
At noon, as soon as the old educated youth returned to the courtyard, they started quarreling with the new educated youth because of their exposure of false information.
Of course the new educated youth sold them too.
The old educated youth had an even worse impression of the branch secretary, as all the hard work fell on them.
As a result, the Youth League Institute was bustling for a long time.
Dawei has already moved into a new home, a courtyard with two rooms that has been abandoned for a long time. If someone wants to live there, he will have to find a large team of strong laborers to fill the space.
Dawei hired someone for one dollar a day.
Adhering to the principle of saving wherever possible, he watched these strong men's techniques for a day and then tried his hand at it himself.
You know what, it looks pretty good.
The strong men go to work during the day and come to help after work. It seems that Dawei does not work during the day but comes out for so long.
Dawei saved a lot of money, repaired the yard, and asked the secretary to pack the box. Someone also helped to make a lock for it.
Dawei gave the money, said some words of thanks, then put the box under the bed, wrapped the money in oil paper, and buried it in a hole dug in the backyard.
I rushed to the weekend, washed and dressed, and prepared to go to the county to make a phone call to report my safety and to pick up the package.
Also riding on the ox cart were acquaintances from the Youth League Institute.
Dawei nodded with a smile, but the other party snorted coldly, so he turned his head away and lost face.
An auntie called Dawei: "Zhou Zhiqing, come and sit here."
"Yes, okay, auntie."
"Zhou Zhiqing, have you offended him?"
Dawei glanced in the direction of the educated youth and sighed, "Maybe they ruined my shirt, and after I asked for compensation, they were unhappy, right?
Or maybe they want to find someone who can provide both labor and money, but I'll move out and live alone, right?"
Male educated youth: !!! Who is this weird person?
The aunt had originally had a bad impression of the group of educated youths. After hearing what Zhou Zhiqing said, she said in disgust: "Don't bother with them. There are too few educated youths like you who can save money and be capable. I think they are just jealous!"
The news of the victory spread everywhere.
The new educated youth moved out of the educated youth compound the next day and hired a strong laborer from the brigade to help him repair the compound. He felt that hiring someone was too expensive, so he repaired the compound himself during the day, which not only saved a lot of money, but also was just a showpiece!
No worse than the strong men in the brigade!
When they heard that the other party was generous and his father was a soldier, some families began to think about arranging an affair.
As a result, David became a hot figure in the Victory Team and everyone wanted to talk to him.
Dawei didn't answer, but smiled shyly, and then he heard his aunt say, "Zhou Zhiqing went to the county town to pick up the package, right?"
"Yes, my mother sent it before she left. Calculating the date, it should be here soon."
…
He made a phone call first.
While I was waiting for the call, it was my mother's voice.
"Great! Are you doing well in the squadron? Why did you just wire back now to say you're safe?"
"Something small happened. I'll tell mom about it in a letter?"
"That's fine." Qiao Yu paused, as if he had thought of something, and then said, "Don't save money, be good to yourself, don't get hungry and lose weight, your grandma will feel bad when she sees you."
"good."
"If you encounter any problems, call us first. If that doesn't work, we have money to help..."
"Mom, I understand."
"Okay, as long as you know it. I've known since we were little that you are the smartest among the brothers. You don't need me to worry."
"Yeah. By the way, Mom, I haven't met that person yet. She doesn't seem to know my identity, and she hasn't taken the initiative to come to my house."
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
"That person" is the dove of the Zhang family, the former Zhang Baoer, now Qiao Baoer.
Qiao Yu never hid Qiao Bao's situation from the children. But she never mentioned where Qiao Bao was or what she looked like.
Before Dawei went to the countryside, Qiao Yu specifically warned him: "Qiao Baoer has a big face and his hair was plucked out in the past. I guess it hasn't grown back yet. He has been tortured on the farm for so many years...
Remember, she is the ugliest person in the group. "
David took careful note of it at the time.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries and hanging up the phone, Dawei went to pick up the package.
There were a lot of stuff and the package was so big that many eyes were on me along the way.
He quickly returned to where the bullock cart was parked. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard his aunt exclaim, "Oh my god, what did you send this to your family? Two big packages?"
Dawei politely replied: "Cotton and such, isn't it cold here in winter?"
It is still unknown whether the snack factory will expand its job openings, so I will have to stay here for at least six months. How long will I stay at most? It is undecided.
His family was worried that he would really suffer from the cold, so they sent him more than ten kilograms of cotton.
Not to mention there was plenty to eat.
"This is not light, is it? The postage alone will cost a lot of money."
"Is that so?" Dawei was in a daze.
These things were never considered important in my family, but were taken very seriously by others in this era.
"You're willing to do that? Your parents must love you very much."
In an instant, the homesickness that I had deliberately suppressed since we parted dissipated, and a warm current enveloped my heart.
He seems very happy.
He is really happy.
The aunt also asked him about his age, height and his parents' jobs, and he accepted all of them...
He felt dazed and as if he had been drugged, and was led away by the nose by the aunts who surrounded him.
Dawei after waking up: ( ̄﹏ ̄)
