Chapter 24 The House is Built
Every year, each production brigade will be evaluated for excellence, and the outstanding production team will receive more grain than other production teams.
It cannot be said that Shengli Brigade is an excellent production team every year, but it will be awarded the title once every one or two years. Moreover, the momentum is good this year, so perhaps it can be rated as excellent.
But if the police were really called in, the matter would become a big deal. During the year-end performance appraisal, other production teams would definitely regard this incident as a stain on the Victory Brigade, which would definitely affect the evaluation.
Since the last six months, the team leader has been telling them that they must not affect the evaluation of excellence. Li Baoguo, as a point leader, an official of neither high nor low rank, has naturally been nagged as well.
If the educated youth camp really got to the point where the police had to be notified, the captain would definitely want to skin him alive if he knew about it.
Moreover, he was about to marry the daughter of Accountant Wang. If the marriage was ruined because of this matter, he would definitely not agree.
Thinking of this, Li Baoguo stared at Li Yingying, Wang Mingzhu and Zhang Baoer fiercely.
“You may not know the captain’s temper. If you attract the police and ruin the team’s evaluation, he will definitely send you all away at all costs.
If the educated youth were to return home after committing a crime, they would never come to such places again when they went to the countryside. They would definitely go to some remote and poor areas.
By then, you will not be able to fill your stomach even if you get a full centimeter every day. I advise you to apologize quickly and pay the money to settle the matter. Otherwise, if the matter gets out of hand, you will definitely not end up well. "
Li Yingying didn't know about these things, but Wang Mingzhu and Zhang Baoer had also been at the educated youth center for two years. When they first arrived, they had seen other educated youth commit crimes and be sent back.
I heard that the conditions in the countryside where they went later were extremely poor and they didn't have enough food to eat all year round.
Although it was a bit tiring to stay in the Victory Brigade, a female comrade could support herself with seven or eight work points, and at least she would not go hungry.
But if you go to other places, the grain harvest will not be enough every year, and no matter how many work points you earn, you will still go hungry.
Wang Mingzhu and Zhang Baoer knew how powerful they were and wanted to slap themselves in the face. They blamed themselves for talking too much and blamed Li Yingying even more for speaking first.
"I know I was wrong and I'm willing to compensate, but I really have no money. Can I use work points to pay it off? We'll calculate the work points at the end of the year, and I'll give you 50 points." Wang Mingzhu was the first to speak.
Although Zhang Baoer was reluctant to give up the 50 work points, she had to reluctantly give up and agreed to use the work points as compensation.
Only Li Yingying kept crying without saying a word. But now everyone knows that Li Yingying likes to cry for no reason, so no one wants to pay attention to her anymore.
Li Baoguo said impatiently: "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry! Don't you think it's unlucky? How do you decide to compensate me?"
Do you want to take money or work points to compensate? We all have to go to work tomorrow, and we don’t have time to waste here with you.”
Seeing that no one spoke for her, Li Yingying had no choice but to say that she would use her work points to pay for it, and then she went back to her room and lay on the kang and cried.
Wang Mingzhu and Zhang Baoer went back to cook. Deng Minghao put the marriage certificate back, then went out with a dark face and did not come back until dinner time.
Li Ruolan asked him where he was going.
"I went to find the captain, told him what happened today, and asked him to speed up the construction of the house for us.
The team leader said that the earth bricks have been purchased and construction will start tomorrow, and asked us to quickly find Carpenter Zhao to customize the beams, wooden doors and windows.
I will go find him tomorrow at noon when I get off work. Let's quickly build the house and move out. I really don't want to stay here at all."
There were many people at the educated youth site at that time, and Deng Minghao spoke in a low voice, so many people heard it.
Xu Tao also came over: "Then let's go together tomorrow. It's time to finish our beams, doors and windows."
Deng Minghao nodded: "Okay, let's go together, and don't forget Qin Zhiqing."
Li Baoguo looked at the figures of several people gathered together, his eyes flashed. He didn't expect that the three foundations that had just been laid next to the educated youth site turned out to be their houses.
During the meal, several old educated youth asked about the house in some way or other, and Deng Minghao and the others said what they needed to say.
"My wife and I are already married, so we naturally cannot live with you anymore. The night we arrived, we went to the captain's place to ask for a house to be built.
It's just one room and a small yard. The captain said it would cost 40 or 50 yuan. If you want to live alone, you can build it yourself."
Xu Tao's reason is almost the same as Deng Minghao's. He and Guo Xiaoya are also going to get their marriage certificate.
Finally, everyone's eyes were on Qin Wan. Qin Wan said, "I just hate someone and don't want to live with her, so I want to move out and live on my own."
Many people looked at Li Yingying, and then continued to eat thoughtfully. However, a few male educated youth looked at Qin Wan with a meaningful look.
Qin Wan naturally noticed it, but she didn't care. She stayed in the mountain all day today, and her supernatural power would probably break through to the first level in no time.
By then she would have the ability to protect herself. Even if someone dared to take advantage of her, Qin Wan would be able to make sure that person would never return.
What happened at the educated youth point today was covered up. No one in the village knew about it. However, the people at the educated youth point began to isolate Li Yingying.
Li Yingying has red eyes when she goes to work and leaves work every day, hoping to attract a flower-guarding angel to help her.
Unfortunately, there is less work in the fields now, so many of the young and strong laborers in the team have been withdrawn by the team leader to build houses for Li Ruolan and others.
Unfortunately, Li Yingying's current lovable look is shown to people who cannot appreciate it. Since no one can appreciate it, naturally no one will pay attention to her.
Qin Wan would leave work early every day after earning 7 work points, and then go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms and collect some firewood.
In fact, she was all trying to improve her abilities as quickly as possible. Li Ruolan knew that she was doing this, so she didn't stay with her all day and let her have her own space.
What Li Ruolan didn't know was that every time Qin Wan went up the mountain, she would almost always meet Lu Yunxiao. Sometimes Lu Yunxiao would give Qin Wan some special treatment, and the two of them got along pretty well.
Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao would also finish work early and then go for a walk in the mountains to dig some wild yams or something. Deng Minghao had a good aim and always got something every time he went up the mountain.
Sometimes when they come across dead wood, the two of them will store the wood in the space and prepare to use it as firewood after the house is built.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September, and Li Ruolan and her family's house was finally built. However, it was not yet habitable. The kang had to be burned for a few days to dry the entire house before people could move in.
It cost forty-eight yuan to build the house, plus the beams, doors and windows, the two large cabinets with four doors customized by Li Ruolan, and the like of tables, chairs, benches, and chests of drawers, it cost nearly thirty yuan in total.
