"Not bad, not bad! You are a good kid! Although you are not tall, you are in very good shape!" The captain was very satisfied to see that Chen Xi was so considerate. He nodded and patted Chen Xi's shoulder and said.
Chen Xi laughed awkwardly. How could she let these people touch her luggage?
There's only weightless cotton in there. Wouldn't it be exposed if these people picked it up?
With an embarrassed smile, Chen Xi stepped aside, his mind and eyes completely focused on the luggage in the ox cart.
"Thank you, Chen Xi, you're such a nice person." Lin Lili had thought Chen Xi was a stingy and calculating man, but she hadn't expected him to be so proactive in making room for her. It was hard not to be moved by this.
Chen Xi was a little confused when he heard Lin Lili's inexplicable thanks.
No, what did she do to receive a nice guy card?
"I didn't realize you could be so gentle and considerate to women." Cheng Tianbao came up and pushed Chen Xi's arm with his elbow and said.
Chen Xi continued to look confused, and really couldn't understand what these people were talking about.
"Okay, let's continue!" Seeing that the two female educated youth were lifted onto the ox cart, the team leader gave an order and everyone followed him obediently and moved forward.
If a villager walked, it would take about two hours to get there, but it was really difficult for the newly arrived educated youth.
Even Cheng Tianbao and Zhang Daqing, who looked to be in good physical condition, were very tired.
We stopped to rest for a while along the way.
However, the performance of Chen Xi and Sikong Ling surprised the captain.
After all, Chen Xi was a small cannon in his eyes and he thought he was weak, but he didn't expect that he could walk all the way to the team without even taking a breath.
Then there is Sikong Ling. His outstanding appearance makes it easy for people to wonder whether he is the kind of pretty boy that people in the city are talking about nowadays.
As a result, these two guys who were not optimistic about the team turned out to be the most promising players.
This made the team leader extremely satisfied, and he no longer had any resentment towards Chen Xi, a little kid, being assigned to their team.
"Very good! Very good! That educated youth Chen, and Sikong educated youth, you two are both great. You should work hard in the future and help build a new countryside." The team leader sent them to the door of the educated youth site.
The Youth League House of Dayang Village Production Brigade was originally converted from an old landlord's house.
So it was very spacious, just as the sister from the Youth League Office had promised Chen Xi before, each person would have a single room.
Although when it was Chen Xi's turn, the remaining rooms were not considered good rooms.
But compared to other brigades, this house is already very good.
However, there are still choices. Everyone can decide whether to live in a dormitory or a single room.
If you live in a single room, you have to collect firewood yourself in winter.
You also need to take care of your own food, and most people will choose a large bunk bed.
Zhang Ning, Cheng Tianbao and Zhang Daqing decisively chose the dormitory bed. Their family conditions were average, especially Zhang Ning's. She didn't have any extra money to afford her own private room, so she had to sleep in the dormitory bed with everyone else.
Lin Lili prefers to live in a single room, but she thinks that she can't cook at all. If she lives in a single room, won't she even have food to eat?
So she could only grit her teeth and choose the cramped bunk bed.
Because of the ox cart friendship she had with Zhang Ning, Lin Lili decided to live in a dormitory with Zhang Ning, supporting each other.
Zhang Ning was a coward by nature and wanted to find someone powerful to rely on, so he and Lin Lili hit it off right away.
As for Chen Xi and Sikong Ling, contrary to everyone's expectations, they both chose to live in single rooms.
Chen Xi's reason was simple. She was a fake boy, so why was she going to live in a dormitory? Hanging out with a bunch of shirtless educated youth in the summer? What if the educated youth could go back to the city? What would her reputation be like then?
So she naturally chose a single room.
However, Sikong Ling's approach made everyone very confused, because Sikong Ling did not look like someone who could cook, whether in appearance or temperament.
If someone like this lives in a single room, will he be unable to take care of himself?
But since this is Sikong Ling's own decision, what can others say?
"Chen Zhiqing, this is a single room with a small stove and a small kang. However, it's a bit broken because no one has lived here for a long time. You can ask someone in the village who can repair kangs to come and help you fix it." After the team leader of the Youth League Home brought the new educated youth into the home, he assigned everyone to different positions.
Chen Xi was the last one to choose his own residence.
Chen Xi looked around the room and immediately felt comfortable.
It looks a bit shabby, but it's a blue brick and tile house after all, which is pretty good.
And the privacy is very good. In the future, no one can control me even if I go out to the space to have a disco in this small room.
If you want to eat special dishes, it will be ready in a matter of minutes.
"Okay, thank you Captain Zhao. But Captain Zhao, can you tell me which family the carpenter and the bricklayer in this village are from? I can go and ask them." Chen Xi was very satisfied. This place was much better than where he lived when he went to the countryside in the south.
When I went to the countryside in the south, we lived in thatched houses, and they were the kind that were almost dilapidated.
Where can I find a house like this?
Chen Xi was even certain that as long as he cleaned it up properly, this house would be very comfortable to live in.
Thinking of the scene of curling up on the kang and eating watermelon in winter, Chen Xi felt a surge of happiness.
"You can ask the village chief's wife about this. She knows more about this matter. People in our educated youth home don't interact much with the villagers. The people in this village are also xenophobic and don't like us educated youth very much." Chen Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard what Captain Zhao said.
"Okay, then can you tell me where the village chief's house is?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
"The village chief's house is very eye-catching. The only red brick house in the village is his house." Chen Xi naturally understood what the other party said.
It seems I need to prepare some gifts.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi decided to clean up himself first.
Seeing this, the other party also left Chen Xi's room.
But what I was thinking in my heart was, this little dwarf is quite troublesome. It doesn’t matter if a grown man lives in a shabby house!
Chen Xi began to clean up the room and see if he could handle these things himself.
In the end, I found that as a southerner, I really couldn't understand the principle of this kang, so I had to find a bricklayer from the village to do the work.
As for the roof, it’s okay and I can handle it myself.
Don’t look at Chen Xi like this, she could do any job in her previous life.
There is no other way. With a useless husband at home who only knows how to make trouble when he comes home, she must learn to do everything.
She knows how to do this job of flipping tiles.
