Lin Manman was not willing to share a large bunk bed with others, or to widen the kang and sleep under other people's feet!
The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and she just arrived and it is impossible for her to take leave during the harvest!
Of course, even for the old educated youth, unless they were too sick to get up from the kang, they would not be granted leave during the autumn harvest!
What's more, she was a new educated youth. If she asked for leave during the autumn harvest, the team leader would immediately send her back to the commune's educated youth office!
It is not a good thing to return the educated youth to the office. How can the returned educated youth be good? How can any good production team be willing to accept them? They may be redistributed to some remote corner!
Moreover, Lin Manman still has a good impression of Captain Wang. Although he pushed her out when selecting people today, it was also for the benefit of the production team!
What's more, when riding in the ox cart, the seat behind the ox's butt was originally the team leader's. He gave it to her because he saw that she was young and was afraid that she would fall off due to the bumps, but he himself squeezed with others for the seat at the back. Lin Manman was very grateful for this!
Even though what he said was unpleasant to hear, how could someone who considered the collective interest and took care of her because she was young and weak be a bad person!
So, the issue of sleeping in a large dormitory must be resolved. When she put her luggage away just now, she looked at the size of the large dormitory for the female educated youth. She roughly estimated that based on this size, if the three new arrivals were squeezed in, the width for each person to sleep would not exceed 40CM!
Even if it is widened by half a meter, with three educated youth sleeping under it, each person will only have a few centimeters more space, which is completely useless!
Besides, is it a good thing to sleep with your feet down? Not to mention whether it's cold to sleep by the window, the smell is not good at all!
Don’t think that girls’ feet don’t have a smell. At that time, they all do a lot of physical exertion and everyone is sweaty every day. If you meet two people who don’t pay attention to hygiene, the smell will be sour just thinking about it!
Therefore, the housing problem must be solved immediately, without any delay!
However, the team leader had just lost his temper in the Youth League Home. If she couldn't stop talking at this time, the team leader might get mad at her on the spot. She decided not to get into trouble. What's more, she might not like the person the team leader found. It would be better for her to go to the village and look for someone herself!
Thinking of this, Lin Manman quickly spread out her luggage, then turned around and walked out the door!
Well, whether she can live there or not, she has to reserve a place first. In case she can’t find a suitable place to live, she can’t just come back and live in the kitchen. She doesn’t want to let Zheng Qiuyun get away with it!
Lin Manman slowly strolled around the Minfeng Production Team, observing the conditions of each household as he walked!
The house looked so crowded. Even if she didn't consider it, this family wouldn't have room to take in an educated youth like her!
She doesn't consider those who quarrel. She quarrels every day and won't go anywhere because it's not noisy enough!
Looking at the filthy yard, she didn't even consider that the environment was worse than a pigsty. Forget it, she would rather live with pigs than live with a family like this!
Thinking of this, Lin Manman paused for a moment!
Pigs. Actually, there is really no space in the Youth League Institute, so a pigpen is not out of the question!
Don’t think that pigs in this era live poorly. Pigs at this time have much better lives than humans!
Many families have not yet moved into brick houses, but in order to prevent the pigs from collapsing the pigpens, the pigpens are generally half-brick houses!
Moreover, it is autumn now and the weather is getting a little cold, so the smell from the pigsty is not that serious anymore!
Besides, she doesn't really live there. It's just a pigsty in name only, but it's actually a living space!
Thinking of this, Lin Manman went to the pigpen of Minfeng Production Team!
As soon as Lin Manman arrived at the pigsty entrance, she saw a girl who looked younger than herself, with an apple face, big round eyes, short stature, and a plump figure, coming over and asking:
"Comrade, are you a new educated youth? This is our production team's pigpen. Do you want to come in and take a look?"
Lin Manman nodded and said:
"Yes, I'm a new educated youth. My name is Lin Manman. Can I come in and take a look?"
The girl stepped aside and led Lin Manman in to see the pigs.
"My name is Wang Qingmiao. I usually feed these pigs with Grandma Bai. If you want to see the pigs in the future, just call me!"
After saying this, Wang Qingmiao paused for a moment, thinking that this city educated youth actually liked to watch pigs, really...
When Lin Manman heard her name was Wang Qingmiao, she smiled and said:
"You are the captain's daughter? You are so pretty. How old are you this year?"
Wang Qingmiao was usually praised by aunts, grandmothers, and other people for being pretty and lucky, but this was the first time that a young and beautiful educated youth praised her for her good looks. Wang Qingmiao blushed and said embarrassedly:
"You are good-looking, you..."
Wang Qingmiao originally wanted to say, you are the most beautiful female educated youth I have ever seen, but she was too shy. Wang Qingmiao’s face turned even redder and she secretly glanced at Lin Manman!
Lin Manman was not complimenting Wang Qingmiao. Wang Qingmiao's looks were very beautiful in this era!
As they walked, Wang Qingmiao introduced the situation of the pigpen to Lin Manman.
In fact, there is no need for introduction. This place is not very big. For Lin Manman, who studied veterinary medicine, he knew what was going on at a glance.
Lin Manman noticed a thatched house in the corner and asked Wang Qingmiao:
"Qingmiao, what is that thatched house?"
Wang Qingmiao explained:
"That thatched house was used by Grandma Bai and I to keep watch during the sow's birth!"
Looking at the thatched house, Lin Manman had an idea and asked Wang Qingmiao for permission and went in to take a look.
The little thatched house is not big, only about 20 square meters. There is only a pot for burning fire and a small kang for two people, and nothing else.
Although it was made of dirt, it was kept quite clean, just like the pig pens I had seen along the way, which were all quite clean. It can be imagined that Grandma Bai and Wang Qingmiao were both clean people.
Seeing the environment inside, Lin Manman was even more satisfied. After thinking for a while, he asked:
"Qingmiao, do you and Grandma Bai usually live in this place? Can I stay here temporarily?"
Wang Qingmiao was a little hesitant, but not because she and Grandma Bai usually lived in this house. The sow only gave birth twice a year, and she and Grandma Bai only lived there for a few days a year, so there was no need at all.
She didn't quite understand why Lin Manman asked her. Shouldn't he ask his father about this? The educated youth didn't live in the educated youth dormitory, so her words didn't count!
Thinking that Lin Manman was just like the other educated youths who were trying to get close to her and wanted her to ask for favors from his father, Wang Qingmiao said unhappily:
"Grandma Bai and I don't need this room, but I can't make the decision on your matter!"
Lin Manman could see what Wang Qingmiao was thinking, so she explained:
"If I can borrow this room, I'll go ask the captain. If not, forget it. I'll think of another way!"
Wang Qingmiao was stunned. She didn't expect Lin Manman didn't have this idea. She was just overthinking. Wang Qingmiao felt a little embarrassed and took the initiative to say:
"So that's how it is. I thought... Then Lin Zhiqing, I'll take you home to see my dad!"
