Chapter 232 The Taciturn Head of the Doting Wife x The Delicate Little Educated Youth 3

Sister Zhang took Aunt Qiao to register, and then brought her to the house for the educated youth to live in.

It was a small courtyard with three rooms and a toilet that was drafty on all sides.

This house seemed very simple to Aunt Qiao, but Aunt Zhang said, "This house was newly built two years ago. Last year, there were only a few educated youth living here, two girls and one boy."

Aunt Qiao opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister Zhang, are the three educated youths last year plus the six educated youths this year all squeezed into this yard?"

"How could that be possible?" Sister Zhang shook her head, smiled and said, "Last year, the educated youth, the women who got married and the men who married into the family, all found partners from our Qiaogou Village."

"Please clean up first, it's getting dark."

"By the way, it might be a bit cold tonight, I'll have someone send two stoves here tomorrow."

"But be careful. Every year, people die from stove suffocation."

Aunt Qiao nodded, saw Sister Zhang off, and then entered the southernmost room.

The room was not big, with only a kang, a table, and a somewhat shabby closet against the wall.

Because it was too cold, Aunt Qiao did not prepare to wash. One reason was that there was no hot water, and the other was that it was inconvenient to get water. The old-fashioned well type required hand pumping.

He took out a quilt and a mattress from his luggage, spread them all on the kang, and took out two cotton jackets, preparing to deal with it for the night and think of a solution the next day.

"Oh," Aunt Qiao sighed and began to complain in a disappointed tone.

"Tongzi, other hosts have everything they want, either a rich girl or a princess."

"But for me, nothing goes smoothly. If I didn't have a husband, I wouldn't do this stupid task of yours."

[Hey, host, you are destroying the bridge after crossing it. Otherwise, I, your son, would have been reincarnated many times.]

Aunt Qiao curled her lips and didn't want to bother with this jerk anymore.

'Boom boom boom'

[Host, be careful. Ask who it is before opening the door.]

Aunt Qiao was shivering with cold. She walked to the door and asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

"It's me"

"Brother Xu?" Aunt Qiao said as she opened the door.

Xu Hanzhang was holding two quilts in his hands, and his arms were also busy, with a lunch box hanging on one side and a thermos hanging on the other.

Seeing Aunt Qiao's lips turning purple from the frostbite, she said with some concern, "You just came from Beijing. The weather here is much colder than in Beijing. I'm afraid you don't have enough quilts, so I'll send you two quilts first."

"Eat this meal while it's hot."

Aunt Qiao was so touched. Although her husband in this world was a man of few words, he still loved her as always.

"Thank you, Brother Xu. If it weren't for you, I don't know how I would have gotten through this evening."

Xu Hanzhang pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll go back first. You don't need to wash your lunch box after you finish your meal. The well water is frozen now."

After seeing Xu Hanzhang off, Aunt Qiao opened the lunch box and saw the steaming dumplings.

Over there, Li Jun and his companions huddled on the shelves, too frozen to speak.

The driver, Brother Zhang, glanced at them and shook his head, saying, "You city people are just too cowardly. You are holding us back. It's just a short distance, so why would you freeze like this?"

Li Jun was wrapped in a military coat, hiding his legs inside. He was so angry when he heard what Brother Zhang said.

"Don't underestimate us. We were just not prepared. We didn't know it would be so cold in Chunshi."

Zhang Qiaoyan lowered his head and blew a breath into his hands, then rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Zhang, how long will it take? I really want to go inside and warm up for a while."

Brother Zhang glanced at Zhang Qiaoyan and said, "Since you are listening, I have to tell you in advance, don't expect to be warm when you enter the house. You came here on your first day, and there may not even be a kang. Go back and fill your stomach with the food you have on you, and go to the Youth Office early tomorrow to get your things."

Several people slumped their shoulders instantly. Li Jun regretted it even more. He should not have come here if he had known this would happen. This place is not good at all.

Aunt Qiao was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a commotion in the yard. Then Zhang Qiaoyan and Liu Xuefen walked in without even knocking on the door.

When Liu Xuefen saw Aunt Qiao sleeping so comfortably on the kang, she looked at her with disdain and said, "Hey, go to the south room and sleep. Sister Qiao'er and I will sleep here. You can leave the quilt here too."

Aunt Qiao became furious all of a sudden. She got out from under the quilt and sat on the kang, looking down at Liu Xuefen.

"Who do you think you are? I am your mother. Why should I treat you like that?"

When Liu Xuefen saw that Aunt Qiao, who was so weak, actually dared to talk back, she immediately became angry and reached out to pull Aunt Qiao off the bed.

Aunt Qiao is not a pushover either. She raised her foot and kicked Liu Xuefen in the face. As for the consequences of beating someone, Aunt Qiao said that she would have her fun first.

As a result, all three of them were invited to the Youth League Office. This time, not only the Youth League Office staff but even the village chief was shocked.

The village chief was an old man in his fifties, and was obviously a farmer. His face was full of wrinkles, making him look like someone who was not easy to deal with.

"You girls look so quiet, how come you guys learned how to fight?"

Liu Xuefen had two black circles around her eyes and a wound at the corner of her mouth, while Qiao Jinjin had messy hair but no scars on her body.

Zhang Qiaoyan was fine. Apart from her clothes being a little messy, she had no injuries on her body.

Zhang Qiaoyan stood up aggrieved and bowed to the village chief. "I'm sorry, we didn't mean it. It was just too cold in the room and I got a little angry."

The village chief tapped his pipe on the table, thought for a moment and said, "You are new here, and the noise you are making so late at night is disturbing."

"If you don't get along, you can rent a house from someone in the same village who has a vacant house, so you can have someone to look after you."

"I have an empty room at home. I can rent it to you. The rent is five yuan a month and the kang is ready."

Zhang Qiaoyan's eyes lit up, and she was the first to speak, "Village Chief, I'm willing to rent it. Can I move in today?"

Liu Xuefen was a step late, but when she saw that it was Zhang Qiaoyan, she gave up the idea of ​​competing with her. She just thought that since Zhang Qiaoyan moved out of the Youth League Office, then brother Li Jun would be hers.

The firm voice of "Village Chief" sounded from outside the door, and Xu Hanzhang walked in in the cold.

"Hey, Xu family kid, didn't you just come back today? Why are you here to see me so late?"

Xu Hanzhang was relieved to see that Aunt Qiao was not injured. "It's okay. I just wanted to tell the village chief that there is an empty house in my house."

The village chief saw Xu Hanzhang looking at Qiao Jinjin from time to time, so he knew what he meant. He said with a smile, "It would be great if you have an empty house. The houses allocated by the Youth League Office are indeed a bit shabby, but you still have to ask these girls if they are willing to rent a house. After all, it still costs money."
