Qiao Jianguo explained what Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao meant.
Zheng Chengwei's eyes flashed after hearing this.
"Is this what you two girls mean? You know, although this house was built by you, if you can return to the city in a few years, the house will belong to the team, and you won't be paid."
Sun Yuqi knew what the captain meant, but she didn't really care about this little bit of money.
"Don't worry, Captain. I know everything you said. I will leave when the time comes, and this house will be given to the team."
Hearing Sun Yuqi say this, Zheng Chengwei nodded and asked, "What kind of house are you planning to build? A rammed earth house or a brick house?"
Sun Yuqi thought for a moment and said.
"Captain, I want to build a brick house. It's cleaner this way."
Zheng Chengwei was very happy to hear the name of the brick house and said immediately.
"Let me tell you, building a brick house will cost about 60 to 70 yuan, and a rammed earth house will cost about 40 yuan."
Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao looked at each other and finally decided to build a brick house.
At this point, Zheng Chengwei also realized that the two female educated youth in front of him were not short of money.
Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao each took out 70 yuan and handed it to Zheng Chengwei. The team leader was responsible for all these matters.
In fact, Sun Yuqi had roughly guessed that the team leader of the construction team was quite economically savvy. Whether these educated youth rented houses in the educated youth compound or built their own houses, the construction team would benefit.
That's why when Sun Yuqi asked Qiao Zhiqing about building a house, Qiao Zhiqing was not surprised at all.
On the way here, Sun Yuqi also asked Qiao Jianguo about the origin of the five houses outside the Youth League compound.
It turned out that the first two batches of educated youth who went to the countryside a few years ago were now old, and with no hope of returning to the city, they chose to get married and start a family here. The five houses outside were occupied by four couples of educated youth and one single educated youth, but in the future, Lu Yao and I would be added to the list.
After returning to the Youth League compound, there was no one there and I didn’t know where everyone had gone.
Zheng Rongrong was sitting in the house making a fire. They didn't sleep very comfortably last night as it was still a little cold. In Heilongjiang Province, the snow hadn't melted yet in March and people were still staying at home to enjoy the winter!
There are not many waiters now, everyone is sitting in the house to keep warm, and few people go out.
The fields haven't thawed yet, so there's naturally no work to do.
Seeing Zheng Rongrong lighting a fire, Lu Yao said happily, "Oh, it's finally getting warmer tonight. It's really cold in the Northeast!"
Zheng Rongrong said, "I borrowed this firewood. Let's go down the hillside and collect some firewood. Otherwise, we can't use the firewood of the old educated youth. They also worked hard to collect it."
Sun Yuqi agreed with Zheng Rongrong's words. "Well, wait, let's borrow the old educated youth's pot to boil some water. Take the water and go collect firewood."
Lu Yao said immediately after hearing this.
"I'll go borrow a pot. We have a stove here, just enough to boil water."
Half an hour later, the three of them took the rope, and one of them carried a water bottle and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
It took half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain. "It's really like looking at a mountain and running to death. It looks not far away, but it took me half an hour to walk."
Lu Yao complained while picking up firewood.
Sun Yuqi picked up a bundle of firewood in a short while. She looked up at the mountain. The leaves of the trees on the mountain had all fallen. Some cold-resistant tree species were still green, but they were all covered with a layer of snow.
It seems that I can take some time to go up the mountain and take a look. Maybe I can even hunt some game to try!
After a while, each of the three men picked up a large bundle of firewood and then carried the firewood back.
Perhaps Zheng Rongrong had done some housework before, so she didn't look uncomfortable. Sun Yuqi had experienced hardships and tiredness in her previous life, so this little bit of work was really nothing. Besides, she still had superpowers.
Lu Yao was different. She was already tired after walking for less than ten minutes, so she had to find a place to put down the firewood and squatted on the ground to catch her breath.
Fortunately, it is winter here in Northeast China, and the ground is covered with snow and frozen soil, otherwise she would have sat down on the ground and not been able to get up.
Sun Yuqi took a look and thought, this is not a big deal!
"Yaoyao, you'd better not rest. It's just right that you don't have much work to do now, so you can exercise a little. When the work really starts, you will be able to adapt quickly."
Lu Yao didn't know that Sun Yuqi said this for her own good, so she insisted on standing up.
Sun Yuqi picked up a thicker piece of firewood and passed it through the middle of Lu Yao's bundle of firewood.
"Yaoyao, come here, I'll help you carry this side, so you can relax a little bit, let's go back quickly."
Lu Yao nodded, took the wooden stick from the other side and lifted it up.
Zheng Rongrong was also helping Lu Yao, and it took the three of them more than half an hour to return to the Youth League Home.
At this time, everyone in the Youth League had already had lunch.
Sun Yuqi and Zheng Rongrong took over the pots of the old educated youth and cooked lunch together. After eating, they continued to go up the mountain to collect firewood. The weather was still very cold, so they needed to prepare some more firewood.
The day passed like this, and early the next morning, Sun Yuqi prepared to go to town. She also learned to buy some things, and also took out the pots, pans, and other utensils she brought from home, and then said that they were sent by home.
Lu Yao was very tired yesterday, so she decided not to go today and it wouldn't be too late to go in a few days.
Zheng Rongrong also planned to cook on her own, so she would need to prepare pots, pans, and other utensils herself, so she also had to go to town.
It was still dark when the two of them set out, and they walked all the way to the Red Star Commune when it was just getting light.
"Rongrong, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast."
Zheng Rongrong also nodded in agreement happily.
The two entered the state-owned restaurant, looked at today's dishes, and knew that there would be braised pork at noon. Sun Yuqi planned to eat here at noon as well.
After they ordered their own food, they sat aside and waited.
Ten minutes later, I heard the salesperson calling me, and then I went to get my meal.
Sun Yuqi ordered two meat buns and a bowl of noodles. There was no other way. It was cold here, so she had to eat something with soup in the morning to keep warm.
After dinner, the two separated. Zheng Rongrong needed to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, and Sun Yuqi said she wanted to go to the post office to pick up the things she had mailed.
Actually, there was no mail sent. Sun Yuqi's things were all in her space! Saying she was going to the post office was just an excuse.
Remembering that she had not yet found all the books in her "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry", Sun Yuqi asked a passerby and found the scrap collection station in Hongxing Commune. However, it was just a commune and she was not sure if she could find the books she needed.
