Chapter 45: Pain
If you move out, where will you live?
When Jiang Panyu was twisting the hemp rope, he asked the aunties in the village and learned that it takes a lot of money to build a house in the countryside.
Apart from anything else, you'll need to ask someone to help you with the foundation repair!
If you want to build a house with adobe instead of blue bricks, you can't do it yourself and have to hire someone to do it. Even if you don't pay them, you still have to provide food for them to eat.
Moreover, it is cold in the northern province, so you have to have a kang, for which you have to use blue bricks, and you have to use tiles for the roof!
Then, when you eat by yourself, you always need pots, pans, and utensils. When you add it up, if you live alone, you need at least dozens of dollars to live a basic life.
Jiang Panyu had some money. Before she went to the countryside, she received a subsidy from the educated youth center. She spent half of it and had a few dozen yuan left. In addition, she also spent some of the 100 yuan reward from the melon-eating system last time. So she had a total of more than 100 yuan in her hands.
The money was enough to build a house, but she felt a little painful when she had to spend the money on it.
Because she will not live here for the rest of her life, only for a few years at most, and she will definitely leave when the college entrance examination is resumed in the future.
It’s painful to think about leaving dozens of dollars here like this, and she can’t tear down the house and take it away.
But if she lives in a youth cadre camp, she can only do this secretly. If she does it for a short time, others won't notice it, but if she does it for a long time, it won't be good if others see her doing it secretly.
And according to what Jiang Panyu had inquired, it is estimated that there will be more educated youth arriving at the educated youth site next year.
When there are too many people, things become complicated. What’s more important is that there are not many empty rooms in the educated youth center now, and I don’t know what to do when the time comes!
Jiang Panyu thought about this matter for several days, and Tan Yanlu was also thinking about moving out.
Because she didn't have much money, she was thinking about ways to make money, and her golden finger needed a private space to be used. The educated youth were talkative, and the slightest disturbance would make it known to everyone. How could she dare to use her golden finger here?
Therefore, Tan Yanlu must move out of the educated youth site, and as soon as possible, because all the money she has spent since she went to the countryside is the subsidy for the educated youth.
Because she comes from a wealthy family, she has been accustomed to spending money lavishly since she was young. Now facing financial difficulties, she can only find other ways to make money.
I don’t know if it’s the effect of the protagonist’s halo, but Tan Yanlu’s ability to act is not only amazing, but also very efficient. Jiang Panyu was still thinking about this matter and figuring out what to do.
Tan Yanlu found Jiang Panyu and asked her if she wanted to move out together.
Jiang Panyu then realized that Tan Yanlu had even found a place to live, which was the house of Aunt Wu, a five-guarantee household in the village.
Aunt Wu was also pitiful. She married when she was young and gave birth to three sons and one daughter. However, due to famine, three of her children died, leaving only one son, who she managed to raise with great difficulty.
However, her husband died of illness, and life was already difficult for the widow and her son. Aunt Wu worked very hard to raise her son.
When Aunt Wu's son grew up, he went out to join the army, and Aunt Wu enjoyed those few good years.
The good times did not last long. Aunt Wu's son died on the battlefield, leaving behind only a little granddaughter. Aunt Wu's wife soon remarried, and the granddaughter was sent back to the village to be raised by Aunt Wu.
The village applied for a five-guarantee household for Aunt Wu, and with the addition of a pension left by her son's sacrifice, the two of them were able to live their lives again.
Aunt Wu's house has two rooms. One is where Aunt Wu and her granddaughter live, and the other is the room for Aunt Wu's son.
Because this room was originally used by Aunt Wu for her son to get married, the room is spacious, and the earthen kang, walls and other things inside have been newly repaired, so it is no problem to live in it for ten years or so.
After asking around for a while, Tan Yanlu finally set her eyes on the vacant house in Aunt Wu's house.
It is spacious enough and can be divided into two rooms. With her own private space, she can do many things.
Putting aside other things, given the situation at Aunt Wu's house, no one would dare to bully them.
The two female educated youth lived in Aunt Wu's house, which was equivalent to having the protection of the Wu family.
Moreover, Aunt Wu’s house is not far from the granary. There are more than a dozen families living around it. There are also two dogs in the granary to patrol, so the safety factor is very high.
Two girls don't have to worry about safety when living outside.
Jiang Panyu was very moved after hearing this. She also knew Aunt Wu. Everyone in the Gossip Sisters Group said that Aunt Wu was a kind person. If she could live in her house, that would naturally be good.
Even if the rent is a little higher, it is still cost-effective. It is better than building a house yourself for a few dozen dollars and then leaving it in the countryside and not being able to get it back!
Jiangtanyu was naturally very happy to do so, so she and Tan Yanlu discussed who to find as a middleman to talk to Aunt Wu and negotiate a settlement.
Finally, the two men discussed it and decided to ask the aunts from the gossip group to help mediate. They are locals, and it should be easier if they come forward.
The aunts did not disappoint Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu's expectations. After taking half a bag of brown sugar from them, they quickly convinced Aunt Wu.
In fact, Aunt Wu was originally unwilling to rent the house to the two female educated youth because it was her son's room.
If the room is kept, there will still be traces of my son, but if the room is rented out, there will be no trace of him at all.
Aunt Wu was unwilling to admit that her son was gone.
But what Yang Guiying and Chen Lamei said made some sense. They are now orphans and widows, so they should always consider their granddaughter's future.
Renting out the house can bring in some income, and this money can be saved for future use.
After all, Aunt Wu is now over 50 years old. She suffered a lot when she was young and has been suffering from minor illnesses and pains for many years.
The granddaughter was still only a few years old. It was uncertain whether Aunt Wu could survive until her granddaughter grew up. She had to plan for the child's future now.
After thinking about it for two days, Aunt Wu finally agreed to rent the house to Tan Yanlu and Jiang Panyu, but she had other conditions.
In addition to paying rent, Jiang Panyu and her family also had to tutor Aunt Wu's granddaughter, teaching her to read and write.
Because there is no primary school in the village, children in the village have to walk for more than an hour to go to town to go to school.
Ever since she lost her son and husband, leaving only a little granddaughter, Aunt Wu has taken special care of the child and takes her with her wherever she goes.
It's ok for the little girl to play around in the village, but Aunt Wu would be worried if she was left alone to study in the town.
The important point is that she is short of money. Although her son left her a pension, Aunt Wu has spent most of the money on medical treatment and medicine over the years, as well as raising children, and has been living beyond her means for a long time.
Aunt Wu thought about it and came up with this idea.
Zhiqing means educated youth. It should not be difficult to teach a child primary school knowledge.
If this were possible, she would save a lot of tuition fees and could also save some rent. Her granddaughter would be able to grow up under her eyes, and Aunt Wu wouldn't have to worry.
