He took the opportunity to joke, "Uncle Captain, we youngsters will probably have to trouble you a lot in the future. You must not look down on us."
The two simple farmers took one look at Qin Huaichuan and realized that he was sincere in giving the cigarettes, so they stopped being polite and put the cigarettes into their pockets without hesitation.
Both of them smiled brightly and said, "Hahaha, good boy. Don't worry, I'll be there to protect you in the team from now on."
Qin Huaichuan smiled slightly, and then the few of them continued on their journey.
When Jiang Jiao'er saw this, she felt happy that Qin Huaichuan liked her. Otherwise, why would he try to curry favor with two stinky country bumpkins when she was in trouble?
Thinking of this, she looked at Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing proudly.
This made Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing look confused.
Jiang Jiao'er thought that she looked down on Qin Huaichuan, but she could get to know Shen Yuandao through Qin Huaichuan.
If Qin Huaichuan knew what was in his heart, he would definitely vomit out all the food he had eaten the previous night.
…
About an hour and a half later, everyone finally arrived at the Sanyang Brigade.
Su Mianmian and others got off the ox cart one after another, and the team leader led them to the educated youth site.
This time, Su Qingqing held Su Yanshu in her arms, while Su Mianmian carried two large bags and a small bag on her back.
The two big bags looked quite heavy. The team leader took a look at them in surprise. He didn't expect that the female comrade who looked so petite and fragile could be so strong.
Not long after, the few of them arrived at the educated youth point.
It was a little after three in the afternoon, and the educated youth at the educated youth site had all gone to work, so there were not many people around.
"The big room on the right is where the female educated youth live, and the big room on the left is where the male educated youth live."
After the captain finished the introduction, he looked at Su Yanshu in Su Qingqing's arms, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
After all, Su Yanshu was still so young, it was not appropriate for him to live with male educated youth, and it was not convenient to live with female educated youth either. For a moment, he was a little worried.
Su Mianmian took a look and the two of them instantly had an idea.
I can only find a place to rent for a few days and move out after the house is built.
Thinking of this, she walked forward and asked, "Captain, is there any house for rent in our brigade? I'd like to rent it first, so that it will be convenient for me to take care of my brother."
The team leader's eyes suddenly lit up. This way, they could not only solve the current problem, but also increase some income for the people in the team.
"There really is such a family, but that family only has one woman and a five-year-old child. The house is quite big.
But the woman came here as a refugee a few years ago, and since her husband returned to the city, she doesn't like to interact with people. But I can take you to ask her for her opinion."
Su Mianmian's face showed a look of joy. She glanced at Su Qingqing and Su Yanshu and whispered, "Qingqing, you and A Yan wait for me here. I will come to find you later."
"Okay, go ahead, Mianmian."
"Let's go, uncle captain." Su Mianmian turned and said to the captain.
The captain nodded and led Su Mianmian towards the area near the back mountain.
This place is a bit remote, and he was a little worried that Su Mianmian would be dissatisfied.
"This family is close to the back mountain and the cowshed, so most people don't come here.
If you think it's too remote, you can only build your own house, because other families in the brigade have young men, and it's not a good idea for you, a girl, to go there." said the brigade leader.
Su Mianmian's eyes sparkled, and she thought to herself, this was exactly her ideal house!
This place is close to the mountain, and more importantly, it is also close to the cowshed, so it will be more convenient to support my parents in the future.
But you still have to see if the other party is easy to get along with. If not, you can just stay with them for a few days and then build your own house. You have to have a place to live during these few days.
She quickly shook her head and said, "Uncle Captain, let's take a look first. I heard you say there is a child at home. I think my brother is quite introverted, so it would be better for him to have a child to keep him company."
The captain nodded. He thought this was a good idea.
However, he was a little curious. Why would a teenage girl take her younger brother to the countryside?
Su Mianmian looked at the captain's puzzled and inquiring eyes and had already thought of an excuse.
"To be honest, Captain, my parents had an accident and our house was taken over by relatives. They also wanted to sell me for the bride price and even threatened me with my younger brother.
I didn't want to go along with their wishes, but I had no other choice, so I had to pretend to obey and then secretly sign up to go to the countryside to find a way to make a living. But my brother was frightened and has become quiet ever since."
After saying this, tears welled up in Su Mianmian's eyes and her face was full of sadness.
The team leader sighed after hearing this and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Xiao Su, the people in our team are easy to get along with. It won't be long before you like it here."
Su Mianmian was deeply touched. She said sincerely, "Thank you so much, Captain. Since the incident, besides Qingqing, you've been the best to us."
"Hahaha, let's go, we're here." With a burst of hearty laughter, he stopped and stood at the door.
Then, he raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door. After a while, a slightly childish voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
"An An, it's me." He responded.
Soon, the door was opened, and a woman with a cold temperament appeared before her eyes, holding a cute child.
The woman was wearing simple clothes, but that simple dress could not conceal her cool temperament. She was like a stream in the fields, which made her look particularly unique in the countryside.
She frowned slightly, revealing a hint of impatience, and asked in a cold tone, "Captain, what's wrong?"
After the captain explained the situation, he asked, "How is it?"
The woman neither nodded nor denied, but just cast her gaze at Su Mianmian standing beside her.
Su Mianmian was afraid that she would not agree, so she quickly started to promote herself: "Auntie, I am Su Mianmian, an educated youth who came to the countryside. My younger brother is three years old, and it is not convenient for me to live in the educated youth center, so I want to rent your house.
Don't worry, I won't disturb you, and I also know some self-defense skills."
The woman raised an eyebrow when she heard Su Mianmian knew martial arts, thinking: Although the people in the village are quite nice, there are always some scum from other villages who come to disturb her. If this girl knew self-defense, it could save her from some unnecessary trouble.
"Sure. Bring your own rations. The rent is five dollars a year." The woman said.
Su Mianmian was delighted, and then tentatively asked, "Auntie, I have a good friend who can live with us. Don't worry, the rent for the three of us is only seven dollars a year, and we bring our own food. We will definitely not bother you."
