An Ran was stunned by the enthusiasm of the captain's wife. Seeing the captain's wife bring her some water, she took it, took a sip and put it down.
Auntie, I came to see the captain's injury. I wonder if the village doctor has changed the bandage on him?
The captain's wife led her into the house and said as they walked: The village doctor can only do some simple things and dare not deal with such a big wound. I wanted to go find you, but your uncle Tian didn't let me, saying that you were scared last night and asked you to rest more.
The captain walked into the room and sat against the wall. Seeing An Ran coming, he said to his wife: Didn’t I tell you not to go? An Ran took over and said: Uncle Tian, it was not Auntie who asked me to come. I came here on my own. First, I came to see your wound, and second, I have something to trouble you. After that, she took out some brown sugar and handed it to the captain’s wife.
She continued: Auntie is giving this brown sugar to uncle to drink. Please accept it, or I won’t say anything.
The team leader asked: An Zhiqing, just tell us if you have any problems. We will definitely help if we can.
An Ran wasn't idle either. While tending to her wound, she recounted what happened that morning. "Uncle Tian, I see there's a house next to the educated youth site. I'd like to move there. Whether it's for rent or for sale, I'm fine with it, as long as I can move in."
After a moment's thought, he continued, "Uncle Tian, don't worry about my safety. You saw my skills last night, so I can definitely protect myself." Also, I'm alone now, with no family at home. I want to have my own home here, not get into endless conflicts with a bunch of people. I'm not afraid of trouble, but I don't want to cause it. I'm afraid of trouble. I just want to live a peaceful and stable life here."
The captain's wife said, "Old man, just let the educated youth An move in. They're all in the educated youth compound anyway, so if anything happens, they can hear and help. There's no need to crowd them together. That Liu Zhaodi is never one to settle down, and that Wang Zhaodi, even though she smiles at everyone she sees, I just don't think she has good intentions."
The team leader didn't object. His wife was right. They were all in the Youth League Home anyway. Anran wanted to live on her own and was willing to spend money. The team could also increase its income, which was not a bad thing.
Thinking of this, the team leader said: An Zhiqing. An Ran interrupted the team leader and said: Uncle Tian, you can call me An Ran, or Ran Yat, just don’t call me An Zhiqing, it sounds weird.
The team leader was not pretentious. Ran Yatou said: "The rent for that house is five yuan a year. If you buy it, it's one hundred yuan. When you return to the city, the house will still belong to the village. So, do you want to rent or buy it?"
An Ran thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Tian, I'll buy it, but could you please help me find someone to fix up the house, repair the kang and door, and build a stove? I don't care about cooking, I don't have a place to cook here, and it's not convenient to be at the educated youth camp. I can pay them more. Another thing is, if I buy this house, if another educated youth comes to live here, they won't be able to live in my house."
The team leader agreed. Since they had bought their own house, how could they arrange for the educated youth to live in their home? He nodded and said: Don't worry about this. You bought the house, and no one will be arranged to move in until you leave the village.
Then he said to his wife: Old woman, go and call the accountant and the village chief to come home, bring the seal and sign the document.
The captain's wife turned around and ran away. Anran took out the money and prepared it. She took out another fifty yuan and handed it to the captain and said: Uncle Tian, I don't know how much it will cost to repair the house. You take this money first. When the house is repaired, give me the rest.
The team leader took it, held the money and said: Don't worry, Ran, I'm not busy now. After the documents are signed, I will let my eldest son take people to repair the house.
Anran nodded, feeling very happy. She could finally live on her own. Not only could she enjoy delicious food, but she also had her own independent space. It was so great...!
Soon the village chief and the accountant came to the Tian family and signed their names on the document. Anran took the document and said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Tian, Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Zhou. I'm sorry to trouble you three. I won't bother you anymore and will go back first."
The captain's wife invited her to dinner, but she refused and ran away for fear of being left behind. The three grown men laughed. The captain's wife asked, "Am I scary? Why are you running so fast? It's like I want to eat someone."
The village chief said: It’s not that you are scary, sister-in-law, I can see that this girl doesn’t like to take advantage of others.
The team leader also said: That’s right, although this girl is cold, she is a good child, polite and natural, straightforward and not annoying, and she is not someone who takes advantage of others...!
An Ran didn't expect that she would receive favorability just for buying a house. If she knew about this, she would probably laugh...!
Another child was found and asked where he could exchange furniture. The child got a piece of candy and happily took Anran to exchange furniture.
Anran came to the door, knocked on it and shouted: Is Uncle Zhao home?
A deep and powerful voice came from the yard: You're at home, just come in.
An Ran pushed open the door and walked in. A man in his fifties was sitting in the yard eating. An Ran politely said, "Hello, uncle. I'm a newly arrived educated youth and I want to buy a cabinet." Uncle Zhao liked this polite girl very much. You know, city people look down on country people. When they see country people, they treat them as if they are dirty. It's rare for city people to be so polite to them.
