Chapter 46 Moving
Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu discussed it and felt that this matter was not impossible to agree to.
Because elementary school at that time was a five-year system, and because of the current environment, the content of elementary school textbooks was actually not complicated, so the two of them were still able to handle the task together in terms of both literature and martial arts.
Even if there are some parts in the textbooks that they don't understand, there are so many educated youth in the educated youth center, and you can just pick one to ask for advice. It should be no problem to teach a child primary school courses.
However, they have to discuss with Aunt Wu in advance how long and how much they will teach. After all, no matter how well they teach, it is impossible for them to issue a graduation certificate to the little girl from the Wu family on behalf of the school!
Finally, with the help of the aunts, Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu negotiated terms with Aunt Wu. They only needed to teach the little girl from the Wu family elementary school courses.
By then, even if the little girl studies at home and skips grades, she will have to go to the fifth grade so that she can take the entrance exams for junior high school and high school.
But that is all a matter for the future. For now, they just need to make sure the little girl from the Wu family understands the primary school curriculum.
In terms of renting a house, the biggest convenience that Aunt Wu gave them was that she would help them divide the house into two small rooms, giving them one room each.
But if they want to cook themselves, there is only one stove, which is on the porch of the house. It can only be shared by the two of them. Or if they want to work together, it is fine. Aunt Wu doesn't care.
There is also a kang in the room, but it is burned alone and is not connected to the stove outside, so it consumes more firewood.
In addition, there is a well in the yard. Aunt Wu said that they can use it at will and they don’t have to fetch water from the well anymore.
The toilet is not far from the house, just a few steps through the porch. Aunt Wu loves cleanliness, so she keeps the toilet clean and odor-free.
The rent is also shockingly cheap, only 50 cents per person per month, and 6 yuan per year. It is now the winter of July 4th. If they live here until the college entrance examination is resumed in 1977, the rent will only be more than 20 yuan.
The rent for two people is more than 40 yuan, which is almost enough for the little girl from the Wu family to go to junior high school.
Jiang Panyu felt that this was still very cost-effective. It was cheaper than building a house by himself and did not require too much effort.
Jiang Panyu and his friends only need to bring their luggage, food, firewood, vegetables, etc., and prepare pots, pans, and utensils before they can move in.
After both parties agreed on the terms, Aunt Wu went back to clean up the empty room, which would take at least ten days.
Tan Yanlu discussed with Jiang Panyu when to move, as it was already mid-October.
By the time Aunt Wu finished cleaning up, it was almost the end of the month. Tan Yanlu wanted to move in as soon as possible, but Jiang Panyu felt that the house had been uninhabited for too long and it would be better to burn it for a few days first and then move in after the moisture was gone.
It won’t be just a few days earlier or later, but they have to make it clear to Li Gaoyang in advance.
After all, they have been doing a lot of manual labor recently, and they also paid for firewood, various dried vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
After deducting what they consume, we should also set aside a portion for them.
Li Gaoyang was very surprised: "You want to move out, is it because someone in the educated youth camp bullied you?
Or are you not satisfied with the work I assigned to you? If it is about this aspect, we can sit down and discuss it carefully.
If someone bullies you, you can just tell them directly. I, the head of the household, am not just a figurehead. ”
Jiang Panyu quickly shook his head and explained, "Of course not, it's still pretty good to live in the educated youth camp, but we heard rumors that there will be more educated youth coming next year.
Our youth cadre camp is not very big. If more people come, I’m afraid there won’t be enough accommodation.
No matter how we arrange things, we are most afraid of conflicts, so we are thinking of moving out so we can have some peace and quiet. ”
Tan Yanlu also nodded in agreement: "Comrade Li, we really don't have any other intentions. We just want to hide away for some quiet time. Please don't misunderstand us."
What else can Li Gaoyang say? Now that things have come to this, there's no need for him to stop them.
So how to distribute things is not difficult. Just distribute according to work. If you do more, you get more, and if you do less, you get less. When the math is done this way, everyone is satisfied.
Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu finally decided to move there in November after this month so that they would have more time.
Next they had to buy some pots, pans, and utensils. It’s not that the supply and marketing cooperative didn’t have them for sale, but there were no industrial coupons, so they couldn’t buy them even if they wanted.
Later, it was Yang Guiying who showed them a clear way and asked them to find Yang Laoba, a five-guarantee household. Although he was a carpenter, he had a relative who was a clay craftsman who knew how to make clay pots and sand pots. Jiang Panyu and her family had only two people to eat with, so they could use this clay pot to cook and make soup.
As for the ladles and basins, you can just ask Yang Lao Ba. He knows how to hoop wooden basins and barrels, so these are a piece of cake for him. In the absence of industrial coupons to buy iron pots, you can only make do with this.
As for other large furniture like tables, chairs and benches, the aunts do not recommend them to buy them. The scrap yards in town often have discarded furniture that others don't want. Some of them are still very good and can be bought at very low prices and then repaired and used again.
Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu both thought this was a very good idea, so they planned to put up with it for the time being and go to the scrap yard in town to take a look when they had time.
Of course they couldn't hide the fact that they were going to move out of the educated youth site from others.
The female educated youth were all very happy. Zhao Xiuzhu was happy that Tan Yanlu was finally no longer an eyesore among the educated youth. So, could she develop a relationship with Lian Xiuran?
Chen Shilei was probably happy that Jiang Panyu was no longer there to bully her, and she didn't have to sleep by the door anymore. She was really thankful!
Li Yunying and Chen Xiaoxue were probably happy that their sleeping area would be more spacious!
However, most of the male educated youth were not very happy about it. After all, Tan Yanlu was really pleasing to the eye. People are visual animals, and everyone has their own ideas!
But it is their freedom to live in the educated youth center or not, and no one can force them to stay.
In this way, before the end of the month, Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu packed up their things, and had already negotiated the distribution of firewood and dried vegetables with the people at the educated youth site.
The two of them moved to Aunt Wu's house little by little. Several educated youth also came to help, including Xiu Ran.
Then, Jiang Panyu discovered that the things Lian Xiuran moved were all Tan Yanlu's. It was amazing. When their things were put together, how did he know which ones were hers and which ones were Tan Yanlu's?
Is this the attitude of taking it to heart or not taking it to heart? Men are really realistic!
