Chapter 11 Arrival at the Victory Brigade
Li Ruolan interrupted at this time: "Uncle Captain, if we don't want to live in the educated youth camp, can we pay for building a house ourselves?"
The captain looked back in surprise, and took a closer look at Li Ruolan. His eyes twinkled, and he smiled and said, "Of course you can. You can build a house near the educated youth site, but you have to pay for it yourself, and after you leave, the house will belong to the village."
Li Ruolan nodded: "Is that so."
Listening to the conversation between Li Ruolan and the team leader, the educated youth behind them all looked thoughtful.
Li Ruolan had just looked carefully and knew that Zheng Fanghua and Zhou Shengnan's families were definitely rich. On the train, they ate either braised pork or meat patties, and also ate apples and walnut cakes.
Liu Kunming's family should be slightly inferior, but he should have some money.
As for the male and female protagonists and the supporting female characters, they are all born with no shortage of money.
There is no need to talk about Li Yingying. She has been eating steamed buns every day for the past three days and definitely cannot afford to build a house for herself.
As for Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun, they were dressed quite well and were soldiers, so they were not the only ones who wanted to move out and live alone.
Anyway, no matter what others think, she and Deng Minghao will get a marriage certificate after they are settled. After marriage, they will be husband and wife and naturally live together. The educated youth at the educated youth site will not say much.
After that, Li Ruolan stopped talking, but Deng Minghao was very interested and talked to the captain about all sorts of things.
Deng Minghao is a social thug who can talk to anyone. Later, the captain looked at Deng Minghao with more and more kind eyes, and told Deng Minghao to call him Uncle Wang.
Deng Minghao was not polite either and kept calling him Uncle Wang.
The other educated youth listened to the two people talking all the way. Everyone else was quiet, and sometimes they would interject a few words. In this way, the group walked for an hour.
Li Ruolan originally thought that Guo Xiaoya would be the first one who couldn't stand this kind of suffering.
After all, Guo Xiaoya is a real little princess. She has never suffered any hardship since she was a child, except for the hardships she encountered in her previous life. But no one expected that Guo Xiaoya would come through it all without saying a word.
Although her face was pale and she was covered in sweat, she followed Xu Tao closely and did not fall behind. Xu Tao also supported her all the way.
Looking at the backs of the two people supporting each other, Li Ruolan suddenly had a feeling that perhaps in this life, Xu Tao and Qin Wan might never be together.
Among so many people, the first one who couldn't bear it anymore was Li Yingying. The cloth shoes she wore were torn, and after walking such a long way, her feet were rubbed and bleeding.
Finally, Zhou Shengnan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I have a pair of Jiefang shoes that I've worn a few times. Do you want them? I'll sell them to you for two yuan."
A new pair of Liberation shoes would cost at least five or six yuan, but Zhou Shengnan had worn them a few times and they only cost her two yuan, which was a very fair price.
Li Yingying hesitated for a long time. She didn't want to buy it, but she only had this pair of shoes. If she didn't buy it, she would have to go to work barefoot tomorrow. Finally, she gritted her teeth and bought Zhou Shengnan's Liberation shoes.
After changing their shoes and walking for nearly an hour and a half, they finally entered the Victory Brigade.
Looking at the endless mountains at the end of the village and the houses at the foot of the mountains, Li Ruolan curled the corners of her lips and smiled. They would spend the next few years here.
As of now, this place is still good, at least the scenery is nice.
The educated youth point was in the southwest corner of the village, a bit remote, and the nearest household was about two or three hundred meters away.
Li Ruolan and the others were asked to take their luggage off the car. The team leader called out a few times at the door, and then a man walked out of the educated youth site.
The man was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with dark skin, tall stature, and a mouthful of white teeth when he smiled.
The man smiled and said, "Hello, welcome to the Shengli Brigade. I am the head of the educated youth camp. My name is Li Baoguo. Come in quickly. I will take you to where you will live."
The captain said, "I'll leave them to you. I'll go back first." After saying that, he drove away in the ox cart.
After he left, the eleven people carried their luggage and entered the educated youth site.
A large square courtyard with five main rooms, a kitchen in the middle, and two rooms on the left and right where the educated youth lived. However, the rooms were a bit small and probably couldn't accommodate many people.
Probably to provide them with a place to live when they arrived, a wing room was built on the east and west sides of the yard, and the wing rooms were quite large.
Lesbians live in the east and gays live in the west.
"There are still eleven people in our educated youth camp, six men and five women. The space in the main hall is small and only three people can sleep in one room. They have all gone to work and have not returned yet.
There are exactly eleven of you. Five men will live in one room, and there are six women. One of you will have to live with the old educated youth. You can discuss among yourselves and decide who will live there. "
Li Ruolan had read the original novel and knew that none of the old educated youth were easy to mess with. She didn't want to live with them, so she immediately carried her luggage and went into the east wing. Qin Wan also hurriedly followed with her luggage, followed by Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua.
Li Ruolan walked into the room and saw an earthen stove as soon as she opened the door. Behind the stove was a fire wall, and behind the fire wall was an earthen kang. Apart from these, there was nothing else in the room.
After getting off the train and taking a tractor, Li Ruolan walked for such a long time. She was very sleepy and just wanted to take a rest. She didn't think too much about it. She just got on the kang, picked a place and started cleaning.
Qin Wan, Zheng Fanghua and Zhou Shengnan were a little tired, but seeing Li Ruolan cleaning, the three of them looked at each other and also pushed themselves to clean up their own spaces despite their tired bodies.
The last person to enter the room was Li Yingying. Li Ruolan knew what was going on after just one look. It seemed that Guo Xiaoya had gone to sleep with the old educated youth.
She probably avoided Qin Wan because she didn't want to see her. Well, the female lead and the supporting female lead were living together, and who knows what might happen, so it would be better for them to separate.
After Li Yingying came in, she sat on the luggage without moving, staring at Li Ruolan and the others with red eyes.
After Li Ruolan and the other three had spread out their bedding and folded and put away the quilts, Li Yingying spoke softly.
"I'm really tired. Can you help me clean up? I can't even lift my legs and my feet hurt so much!" Li Yingying looked aggrieved.
Qin Wan didn't even raise her head. She took off her shoes and lay down on the kang and closed her eyes. She hadn't slept for a long time and she was so tired that she was almost dying!
Li Ruolan ignored Li Yingying and went to bed. Who wouldn't be tired? Who wouldn't have sore feet? She didn't have the time to help her make the bed.
Zheng Fanghua and Zhou Shengnan also rejected Li Yingying.
