When he asked his son to help the new educated youth move their luggage last night, he never expected that his son would actually come today.
Feng Aiguo naturally loved his youngest son, but he was spoiled by his wife and spent his days doing nothing, which he found hard to accept.
But looking at his son standing beside him now, he felt somewhat gratified. At least he was a kind-hearted person. It didn't matter if he was a little lazy on weekdays; it wasn't like the family couldn't afford to support him.
The brigade leader coughed softly and began asking each educated youth their name.
Their area wasn't particularly wealthy to begin with, and the courtyard originally prepared for the educated youth was already too small to accommodate them.
There are eight educated youth in this group, and some of them will inevitably have to stay with other people's families.
Of course, they wouldn't let the educated youth stay for free; their food rations would also be stored at that family's house.
Previously, some educated youth were willing to share meals with the villagers, only needing to contribute a little grain, which made things easier for them.
After all, those educated youth lived in the same courtyard, and cooking and washing dishes were assigned to each other.
However, each household in the village has a large population, and sometimes it is inevitable that some quarrels will occur with the educated youth who are sharing the village.
With these thoughts in mind, the brigade leader said, "The educated youth compound can't accommodate so many people. Some of them may have to stay at the homes of people in our village."
“I’ve helped you choose a few households. If you don’t want to live in the educated youth compound, come to my place first.”
The educated youth looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
They were all new to the village, unfamiliar with everything, and didn't know anything about their character. It was naturally safer for them to live together with a group of educated youth.
Liu Yin was the first to walk up to Feng Aiguo.
She pointed to Feng Wenyun standing next to the middle-aged man and asked in a sweet voice, "Can I stay at his house?"
This stumped Feng Aiguo, as he had never intended for the educated youth to live in his home!
His family doesn't lack anything right now, and they don't expect to get anything from the educated youth. Besides, his wife might not be willing to suddenly have another person in the family.
Feng Aiguo pretended to think for a while, after all, he had been through it before and had some experience now.
These pampered young ladies from the city valued their image the most when they first arrived here.
Girls are easily embarrassed, and if he rejects her too quickly, she might be ridiculed by her peers, and it wouldn't be good if she cried every day.
However, if he stays here for a while, he won't have to worry about so much.
The brigade leader sighed inwardly. In fact, he really didn't want so many educated youth in the village.
They're inefficient at work and cause a lot of trouble!
Just as Feng Aiguo was about to pretend to think it over and was about to refuse, he heard a familiar voice in his ear.
"Of course you can stay at my house. I happen to have a spare room."
Feng Wenyun didn't even glance at the middle-aged man standing next to him, and replied to Liuyin before the brigade leader could speak.
His father has been silent for so long, so he probably won't agree to let the educated youth live in his house.
But that won't do!
So her name is Ye Liuyin, the man thought to himself, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his face.
He knew the families his father had chosen last night. Educated youth would receive work points and grain when they went to work in the fields, so Feng Aiguo, as the brigade leader, selected some families with good character but even more difficult circumstances.
As for those educated youth who actively wanted to team up with the villagers, the brigade leader wouldn't care.
In Feng Wenyun's opinion, those families all had men of marriageable age, and besides, Liuyin was also beautiful, so it was too unsettling.
He was also certain that Liuyin wouldn't want to share a room with someone else.
"Thank you then." Liu Yin smiled gently and raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair that had fallen beside her cheek.
Her graceful movements captivated Feng Wenyun, making her heart pound.
The captain glared at his troublesome son, wanting to ask him, "Where are there any empty rooms left in the house?"
But he found that the other person wasn't even looking in his direction; their eyes were fixed on the pretty educated youth. This sight made the brigade leader frown.
The moment he saw his son's expression, he felt uneasy. What if he had taken a fancy to this new educated youth?
Even the brigade leader had to admit that this new educated youth named Ye Liuyin was indeed beautiful, delicate and gentle, and somewhat out of place in their Red Star Village.
But what's the use of being pretty if you can't lift anything with your hands or carry anything on your shoulders, and you won't earn much per cent?
My son is lazy to begin with. If he marries a wife like this, how can he expect her to serve him?
Moreover, with his personality, why would anyone be interested in him?
Feng Aiguo shook his head inwardly, but didn't refuse again; he needed to at least let the other person experience some setbacks.
Two male educated youths then went to stay at people's homes in the village.
Chu Yan and Zhang Zhaodi had no interest in that, so they just stood aside and waited to go to the educated youth compound with the others.
Although 003 thought the luggage given to Liuyin was already very little, it was a lot compared to the other educated youth around them.
Seeing how attentively Feng Wenyun was helping Liu Yin carry her luggage, Chu Yan mentally scorned him.
To be honest, she had seen many people fawn over Liu Yin along the way, but she had never seen anyone so eager.
Others who want to help at least ask a question, but he just rushes in without even trying.
Chu Yan was speechless at Liu Yin's behavior. She thought Liu Yin was some kind of delicate young lady, but she was willing to follow a country bumpkin!
She was somewhat puzzled that Liu Yin would actually take the initiative to stay at someone else's house, but that was just right, Chu Yan thought to herself.
