Chapter 186 Building houses for educated youths

With many people, there are naturally many conflicts.

There are now sixteen educated youths in the educated youths’ camp, nine male educated youths and seven female educated youths.

The female educated youths are fine, with three people in one room and four people in another, and women are relatively petite, so they can still live comfortably.

The dormitory for the male educated youths, which is occupied by five people, has more conflicts.

It is nothing more than the hard work in the farm, and some people have poor hygiene habits, making the whole house smelly, and then there are differences in living habits, etc.

In order to keep warm, the windows built in the educated youth camp were originally very small, and the ventilation was not very good, so conflicts came out.

When they heard Lu Baoguo say that another batch of educated youths would come next month, they all felt that it was no longer possible to live here.

So, Ma Jianmin brought several representatives, including the grandson of the senior official, to negotiate with the brigade to see if they could build two more dormitories.

Lu Baoguo and Lu Qingan were also very worried when they heard that another batch of educated youth would arrive next month.

These educated youth were really not very good at work. They had to train for a year or so before they could become proficient. Even if they were proficient, they could not earn many work points, just enough to make a living. Only a few could earn work points above the brigade average.

But since they had arrived at the brigade, they certainly could not watch them starve to death. They had to be given rations per head, which was equivalent to the brigade supporting them.

"What do you think we should do if so many educated youth are assigned here every year?" Lu Baoguo was in charge of agricultural production, and he knew best how the educated youth worked.

Lu Qingan was also worried. Judging from the situation, there would be quite a few educated youth assigned to the village in the past few years.

With dozens of people living together, there would definitely be many conflicts and it would be difficult to manage them.

If something happened to people here, their brigade would be responsible.

The two were still discussing how to make arrangements when they saw Ma Jianmin bringing a few educated youth over.

As soon as Ma Jianmin stated his needs, Lu Baoguo frowned and said, "Ma Zhiqing, the Zhiqing site in our brigade is one of the best in the entire commune. Not only is it newly built, it's also very spacious." "

Each room was originally built to sleep six people. How come it's not enough?"

"Some families in our brigade have seven or eight people, and the kangs they sleep on are not as wide as the ones in the Zhiqing site." "We

are all revolutionary comrades. It's fate that we live in the same Zhiqing site. We should help each other more, sympathize with each other, and be less individualistic." "

Team leader, it's livable for now. When the new batch of educated youth arrives, we can still squeeze in. But for the next batch, there won't be room for them. It's impossible for everyone to sleep close to each other," said Ma Jianmin.

Lu Baoguo took a puff of cigarette and said, "When we really can't sleep, we will think of a way. This house can't be expanded. When we built this new dormitory, our village cadres were also under pressure. If we expand it again, the members will not approve it."

The brigade's funds are also limited. Building two large dormitories will cost at least more than 100 yuan. This money is enough to subsidize the lonely elderly in the village for several winters.

"Captain, what if we pay for it ourselves?" someone asked.

They also asked around and found that some educated youth in other brigades paid for building small houses for themselves.

Lu Baoguo and Lu Qingan looked at each other. They had just discussed that if there were too many people, they could encourage the educated youth to build their own houses.

Lu Baoguo pretended to be entangled, "It's not impossible, but we can only build it next to the educated youth site for easier management."

"How much does it cost to build a house?"

"It depends on how big you build it. If it's just a single room, the adobe house is about 40 yuan. But you have to make it clear that the housing site of this house still belongs to the brigade. When you are still in the brigade, the house is yours, but when you leave, the house belongs to the brigade." Lu Baoguo said.

Other brigades also operate in this way.

"Okay, no problem. Let's go back and discuss it, and report to you tomorrow." Ma Jianming and his people came and left quickly.

They had discussed it at the educated youth site. It was probably impossible to ask the brigade to allocate more funds to build dormitories. Their original intention was to build a room for themselves or one or two people with good relationships, so that they would have a private space and would not have to squeeze with others.

They were also worried that the brigade would not agree if they said they would build it separately, so they took a detour. Now that the goal had been achieved, they hurried back to discuss it.

They also measured that the land next to the educated youth site could only build six single rooms of 20 square meters at most. If they could build together and connect them in a row, the estimated cost could be reduced. When

several people went back to talk about the matter, Ma Xiaojuan immediately expressed her opinion that she would build one room, the grandson of the senior official would also build one room, and Ma Jianmin and another old educated youth would build one room together, and three rooms were built immediately.

Jiang Yue also wanted to build one, but she was unsure for a moment, so she secretly asked Ma Xiaojuan: "Sister Xiaojuan, do you think I should build one too?"

"If you have money, build it. I estimate that there will be more and more people in the future, don't let there be no space when you want to build another one."

After a while, another male educated youth asked for a room, and now there were only two rooms left.

Jiang Yue was a little anxious, so she quickly asked for one too.

It was just a little embarrassing that when she came, she was afraid that someone would steal her money on the train, so she only brought 30 yuan. She spent a lot of money on buying things before, and now she only has more than ten yuan left.

The money her mother sent her has not arrived yet, and it is estimated that it will take two days, and she doesn't know if she has to pay it immediately.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yue decided to borrow money from Su Mo later, and return it to her immediately after receiving the money.

In the evening, Jiang Yue went to Su Mo's house to find her.

Although Jiang Yue knew roughly where Su Mo lived, it was her first time here. After entering the house, Jiang Yue exclaimed: "Sister Su Mo, your house is really good, and it is not worse than those in the city." Of course, it is incomparable to the villa she lived in before.

People with such good fortunes are good wherever they go.

No wonder her mother often said that people need to accumulate good deeds to be blessed.

It must be that Grandpa Su did a great good deed, so his descendants can turn danger into safety even if they encounter a disaster.

Su Mo handed Jiang Yue a cup of sugar water with a smile, "This was built before my husband and I got married. What do you want from me today?"

"Sister Su Mo, I want to borrow some money from you." Jiang Yue told her about building a house, "I'll pay you back as soon as my mother sends me the money."

Su Mo was a little worried that Jiang Yue would tell others about her affairs, but it has been more than a month and no news has come out. It seems that she is a tight-lipped person.

"Okay, how much do you want to borrow?" Su Mo asked, hoping that this girl was a good person.

"Just lend me thirty. They said it might be around forty yuan, and I still have ten or so."

Su Mo went into the room and took out thirty yuan to give to Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue thanked her gratefully, and before leaving, she said to Su Mo, "Sister Su Mo, do you have any grudges with that educated youth Chen Lan? She always asks me about your family."

"But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything that shouldn't be said."

"Okay, I know, thank you for keeping it a secret for me." Su Mo said.

I didn't expect Chen Lan to be so interested in her.
