Wan Xinyu, realizing what Jiang Yunshu meant, quickly stepped forward and stuffed his bag of brown sugar into Guo Feng'e's hand: "Auntie, we will inevitably trouble you in the future, so just keep it."
"Okay then. Come to my house if you have any problems in the future." Seeing that the two of them were giving the gifts sincerely, Guo Feng'e no longer refused. She accepted the gifts with a smile, went back to the kitchen, made a few bowls of tea, and brought them to the inner room.
It is called tea, but in fact it is just tree leaves picked from the mountains, dried and soaked in water. It has a bitter taste with a hint of sweetness.
Jiang Yunshu got straight to the point and said, "Team Leader, we'd like to move out of the educated youth camp. Do you have any vacant houses in our team? We could rent them."
Du Shouquan pondered for a moment and said, "You have seen the situation of our team. The team members are so poor that they can't even eat enough, let alone build a house. Our team really doesn't have any extra empty houses.
If you really want to move out of the educated youth camp, you can spend some money to live with the team members and eat with them. However, I don't recommend this, because after all, you will be the one who suffers."
“What if we build the house ourselves with our own money?”
Jiang Yunshu just didn't believe that a living person could be suffocated to death by urine, so she had to move out of the educated youth center.
Du Shouquan said, "Of course you can, but after you leave, your house must be left to the team. After all, the homestead is the team's property, and I have to be responsible for the team members."
Jiang Yunshu said readily, "You can leave it with the team. After all, we can't take it away."
"Okay, building a house will cost a lot of money. Do you have enough money? If you do, I can allocate a residential plot for you right now."
Jiang Yunshu hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain, how much will this cost? I want to be mentally prepared."
"If you two are staying here, there's no need to build such a big house. Two rooms and a kitchen would cost about a hundred yuan. The team members don't need any wages, so you just need to provide them with food and drink."
Jiang Yunshu hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, Captain, you misunderstood. He is him and I am me. We build separately."
When a single man and a single woman live under the same roof, something bad is bound to happen, not to mention the rumors that can kill people.
Besides, it would be inconvenient for her to use the space if they lived together. The reason why she insisted on moving out of the educated youth site was to keep the secret of the space from being discovered.
Wan Xinyu looks careless on the surface, but he is actually very smart. She can't be careless.
Wan Xinyu, who had been acting as a background figure, finally spoke up: "Captain, let's build it separately."
Du Shouquan, who understood the two, said, "In this case, we can build a house and a kitchen, and I'll find someone to build a toilet for you. Sixty or seventy yuan will be enough."
Jiang Yunshu got goose bumps all over her body when she thought of the open-air toilets at the educated youth camp. When she built the house, she would definitely renovate the open-air toilets so that at least they would have a roof.
Otherwise, when it rains, the toilet will become a soup of feces.
Jiang Yunshu said, "Then I'll have to trouble the captain to pay more attention to it."
"These are all trivial matters. You wait here for me. I'll get the team's homestead map and you can see where to build the house."
After Du Shouquan finished speaking, he stood up and left. Only Jiang Yunshu and Wan Xinyu were left in the room, staring at each other.
Wan Xinyu looked at Jiang Yunshu pitifully and pleaded, "Jiang Zhiqing, when we build the house later, can I be closer to you? I'm unfamiliar with the place and I'm scared. I can cook, fetch water, and chop wood."
Jiang Yunshu glanced at Wan Xinyu's thin and frail body and thought that what he said about fetching water and chopping wood was nonsense, but considering that he was a descendant of the imperial chef, she still agreed.
Wan Xinyu was happy, and Du Shouquan also came back with a homestead map in his hand.
Finally, Jiang Yunshu chose the right corner of the brigade, which was far away from the educated youth point. There were not many households nearby, but there was a small river.
"Jiang Zhiqing, this place is too remote. It's not safe for you two young people to live here. Why don't you look for another one? I think this place is pretty good."
While Du Shouquan was speaking, he pointed to the position that satisfied him and showed it to the two of them.
Jiang Yunshu looked in the direction of the finger, and when he saw that it was only a hundred meters away from the educated youth point, he immediately shook his head.
"Captain, it's still the one I chose before." Jiang Yunshu said and turned to look at Wan Xinyu behind him: "Which one do you choose?"
"I'll build it next to you." Wan Xinyu was afraid of being left behind, so his tone was as firm as possible.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, the captain didn't say anything more, so the location of Jiang Yunshu and the others' house was decided.
The construction of the house is scheduled to start in two days. We will try to complete it within these few days. If it is delayed, it will be the summer harvest.
Summer harvest and autumn harvest are the two busiest periods for farmers, so busy that they can make people exhausted.
Before leaving, Jiang Yunshu thought about going to the county town the next day, so she quickly asked Du Shouquan for a day off. Du Shouquan knew that they had just arrived and had not yet bought all their things, so he was very considerate and granted them one more day off.
Du Shouquan reminded: "After two days, you must come to work obediently and not be lazy."
Jiang Yunshu patted his chest and assured, "Captain, don't worry, we won't be lazy. We will work hard and earn work points."
It is impossible for her not to be lazy. In this life, she just wants to live a peaceful and stable life as a salted fish who eats and waits for death.
