The entire team now doesn't consider the deputy county magistrate a cadre.
Ren Xiuzhen: “…”
Times have indeed changed. The deputy county magistrate lived in the village, just like ordinary people. This was simply impossible in later times.
Tao Siqi took this well. The city party secretary there often rode a 28-inch bicycle to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, smiling and greeting everyone he met. Other city leaders were similar, living like ordinary people.
Ren Xiuzhen asked, "Sister Yuying, Director Yan has been transferred here. Who will be the director of women's affairs in Liushu Village?"
"Me. I'm the women's director of Liushu Village now."
Ren Xiuzhen: “…”
Yan Yuying continued, "Since you two are the women coming this time, I'll be the one to pick you up. It will be easier for us to communicate. If it were a male educated youth, Director Zhao would be the one to pick you up. Director Zhao is the brigade's director of public security and Director Yan's husband. He's still in the brigade."
Ren Xiuzhen said, "I've seen that the educated youth assigned to the brigade are either two men or two women, never one man and one woman."
Yan Yuying smiled and said, "You're quite observant. That's indeed the case. This arrangement is to help you educated youth build friendships and adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible. Just like you and Siqi, two women of similar age, you can chat as soon as you meet. If you want to ask me anything, just ask directly, and I will answer directly. Last year, there were two male educated youth in our brigade, and this year there are two female educated youth. Overall, the number of men and women is about the same."
Ren Xiuzhen nodded. So that's how it is.
Tao Siqi asked, "Sister Yuying, where are we going to live?"
"There are educated youth settlements, one for men and one for women. Previously, they all chose to live together in the settlements. If you want to live alone, that's fine too. The brigade has vacant houses and can provide them free of charge. You receive a housing allowance, and the brigade will be responsible for helping you solve your housing problems. Don't worry about that."
You can go to the educated youth camp first and then consider living alone if you don't want to. The female educated youth who came before were all willing to live together. At first, the place wasn't big enough, so they preferred to squeeze in. Later, it was expanded, and now it's big enough for us."
Tao Siqi said: "I live with everyone. I came to join the team because I wanted to experience collective life."
Yan Yuying smiled and said, "The female educated youth work together very well. They help each other, give in to each other, and encourage each other. They are doing a great job."
Ren Xiuzhen didn't say anything. In her previous life, she had lived on campus. There were four girls in the university dormitory, and they all had a lot of conflicts. Someone's alarm clock rang too often, someone's phone call was too loud, someone took too long in the bathroom... They were all problems. She didn't quite believe that there were no conflicts in shared accommodation.
But she could also see that Tao Siqi really yearned for it, and what Yan Yuying said was very sincere, and it didn't seem like something she had made up.
She asked, "Hasn't anyone ever lived alone?"
Yan Yuying shook her head. "No. The first female educated youth to come here was called Qian Gaoyun. She had a carefree personality. To put it nicely, she was simple; to put it bluntly, she was a little silly. Gaoyun herself said so. She was the only one at the time. Our Director Yan, who was still the Women's Director of the brigade at the time, saw through her character at a glance. She was worried about her living alone, so she arranged for her to live with a pair of sisters in our brigade and asked them to take care of her.
Unexpectedly, it later became a routine. A center for educated youth was developed based on their home, and when the house wasn't big enough, they added several more rooms. Now, the older sister is employed at the county pharmaceutical factory, and the younger sister is deputy director of the county animal husbandry bureau. Their home has completely become a center for educated youth.
