She and Tang Xiaomin looked at each other. Most people would think that a house where someone had died was unlucky.
"I'm fine, how about you?"
Tang Xiaomin hesitated for two seconds and nodded.
"I have no problem with that either, what about you!?"
Tang Xiaomin hesitated for three seconds. She said she didn't want to be here alone at all.
"That's fine with me. We can split the rent."
Secretary Zhao didn't expect that these two female educated youth were so brave.
"Okay then, I'll take you two there."
The team leader gave them their rations, put his hands behind his back and left with Secretary Zhao and the others.
Everyone watched the two female educated youth come and go, looked at each other, and the educated youth site returned to its original state.
Li Hongmei frowned as she watched them leave, and stomped her feet as she thought of something, went into the house, got her things, and left.
Jiang Manman and her friend followed Secretary Zhao to a house at the east end of the village.
The house is not big, with a small courtyard surrounded by a fence outside.
“There is a private plot in the yard where you can grow some vegetables.
Over there is a kitchen, a living room and a sleeping room.
There is also the old doctor's pharmacy, but there is nothing left in it.
The toilet is over there, next to the wall.
It's been uninhabited for just over a year, you can clean it up and move in."
Jiang Manman and Tang Xiaomin looked at each other and each took out a dollar to give to Secretary Zhao.
Secretary Zhao wrote them a note.
"Okay, you guys should pack up. You just arrived today, and you will have to start working like the villagers early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you, Secretary Zhao. By the way, is there any carpenter in our village? I want to make stools, tables and chairs."
Who could blame this former old doctor for having such an empty house? There wasn't even a kang mat or a pot, let alone tables, chairs, or benches. They didn't exist.
I heard her ask Secretary Zhao:
“We can get it from Liu Neng’s family in the village, but it’s the busy farming season now, so we have to wait for a few days.
You can go to the county, where they sell ready-made ones.”
He looked over to the yard next door and shouted:
"Zhou Ye, if you have any extra benches or tables at home, bring a set over for the new educated youth to use.
I saved your life!"
When he shouted, Jiang Manman turned around and found that the yard next to her, separated by a fence, was actually the home of the man in the river.
I turned around speechlessly and saw that Zhou Ye had changed his clothes. He was combing his short hair with his hands and walked out with his long legs.
Just happened to meet Jiang Manman's eyes.
He was stunned for a moment and then turned to look at Secretary Zhao.
"Secretary Zhao, why did you bring these two educated youth here?
Isn't this a youth training center? "
Secretary Zhao gave him a displeased look.
"The Youth League Center can't accommodate so many people. They rented Doctor Wang's house. They will live here from now on. Please take care of them."
"What? She's going to live next to me?"
Jiang Manman was speechless. Is it okay if she doesn’t want to rent it now?
Secretary Zhao rolled his eyes at him.
"What happened to living next to you?
The female educated youth once saved you. I heard that you still owe her 20 kilograms of rice. She happens to live next door to you, and they don’t even have a pot here.
Let them cook a meal at your house."
After that, he turned to Jiang Manman and said:
“You can go to the county this afternoon to buy some firewood. After you start work tomorrow, you can only take one day off a week.
That's it, I'll go back now."
As soon as Secretary Zhao left, Jiang Manman turned around to clean up the house, and saw Li Hongmei coming over here.
They thought that Li Hongmei was here to see them.
Unexpectedly, Li Hongmei went towards Zhou Ye's yard.
