The next day when Xu Manman came out of the space, she was still a little depressed.
According to convention, newcomers are given a day off. It is the busy farming season now, but the four newcomers cannot help much even if they go to work, so the village chief’s leave was still given.
Xu Manman went out to work and didn't see any new people in the yard. She guessed they hadn't gotten up yet.
Fortunately, they had a day off today, and everyone had come here this way, so no one was idle enough to wake them up.
In the morning, when the village chief finished assigning tasks to each team and arrived at the educated youth site, these people were still sleeping soundly.
At first he thought everyone had left, and planned to go find Lin Zhiqing to explain. Just as he was about to turn around, he met Zhao Xin's eyes as he yawned and pushed open the door.
Liu Daming frowned, "Just got up?"
"Ah? Yeah."
"What about the other three people?"
"Xia Zhiqing is still sleeping, and the two female comrades... I don't know."
"Go wake him up." Since the two male educated youth were still there, the female educated youth probably didn't go out either. He went to the house on the left and knocked on the door, and sure enough, he heard the sound of transmission inside.
"Who is it?!" The voice was vague and a little impatient, and you could tell from the voice that the person was still asleep.
"Me! Village chief, please get up quickly. I have something to tell you."
Liu Daming waited in the yard for almost a quarter of an hour before the four people finished cleaning up.
He has dealt with more trivial matters in recent years, and his ability to cultivate his energy has improved, so this skill will not make him lose his temper.
He explained the business, "You have just arrived in the countryside, and the village will lend you rations. When you start working and earn work points, we will deduct them from the rations. Now come with me to the village committee to collect them."
When it came to the issue of food, the four people didn't want to experience the feeling of being hungry, or lose face and borrow from others. They had their own rations and were confident, so they all followed the village chief obediently to the village committee.
In fact, Liu Daming prepared the food after he picked up the educated youth yesterday. Since he didn't see anyone coming, he thought of coming over today to inform them.
After taking out the grain bags and watching the four people sign in the accounting office, he was about to ask them to leave when Li Min spoke up, "Village Chief, I'm not used to living with others. Are there any empty houses in the village?"
Li Min was unwilling to give in, but this time she didn't mention changing the house assigned to her by the educated youth. She must have listened to Xu Manman's suggestion.
"Yes, Village Chief, I also want to live alone. Is there any vacant house in the village?" Xia Tiangao said after Li Min.
Liu Daming: What was supposed to happen has finally happened, but the housing issue is really not that simple. "There's not enough housing for every household in the village. Where are the empty rooms? Don't you have a storage room at your educated youth camp? If you clean it up, who will live there?"
Both of them looked embarrassed when they heard this. They had also looked at the backyard. The utility room was very close to the bathroom and toilet. It was damp and smelly, and it was not habitable at all.
"Then can we ask them to exchange the house? There are ten rooms, and they occupy them all. As seniors, it wouldn't be too much for them to exchange one or two for us," Li Min finally insisted.
Liu Daming waved his hand. "They signed a deed and paid rent for the house. Unless they're willing, even I can't ask them to give it up."
They came to look for him after a whole night, which must mean that the educated youth did not agree. Even if he was the village chief, he could not force them to give up their houses.
"I can increase the rent." Li Min increased the weight.
"That's not the case. They signed a contract with the village first, and we can't go back on our word."
"Can....."
Seeing that Li Min wanted to speak more, the village chief interrupted her and said, "How about this, I'll ask for your help when the time comes to see if there's anyone in the village willing to let you stay. But if you do, you'll have to pay rent."
In fact, the houses of the educated youth were the best houses in the village. After all, they were the houses of the landlords. They were made of blue bricks and large tiles. Each room was so spacious.
If everyone hadn't wanted it, the house wouldn't have been divided, and the educated youth wouldn't have lived in it.
This is also the reason why the rent of houses in the educated youth camps is so high, and it is not lower than the rent in the city.
When he first booked the rent, he thought no one would want to rent it. Unexpectedly, not only are all the houses rented out now, but people are even vying for them.
Knowing that there was no hope of finding a house at the educated youth camp, he would be willing to borrow a room from a villager. "Okay, then please ask the village chief for help."
Liu Daming nodded and was calculating in his mind how many families could squeeze out their houses. Considering the safety of the educated youth site, some families were not suitable. As for the other two, he would have to go and ask them in person when the time comes.
After the four people carried the food back, they still decided to go to the commune. They needed to make a living and they were short of many things.
Fortunately, they came here by ox cart, so they didn't need to ask anyone for directions. They just walked towards the commune together.
