Seeing that Chen Suhua was completely crazy and didn't plan to live through tomorrow, Shen Yan and Chen Jingyi were a little scared.
Although he was unwilling, he still came forward to apologize to Chen Suhua.
"Chen Suhua, I didn't mean it. I just said that I lost two dollars. I never thought about whether I took it or not." Chen Jingyi said this, and she was quite annoyed with Shen Yan. If Shen Yan hadn't been so nosy, would this incident have happened today?
Qian Jingdan came forward, like a close sister, took Chen Suhua's arm, and said, "Forget it, for my sake, let's just forget about this matter."
Chen Suhua gave her a cold look and pulled her arm out without giving her any face. She was just poor, not stupid.
Shen Yan covered her face, her eyes full of resentment, "This matter is my fault, but, Chen Suhua, you slapped me..."
"I have apologized to you, so this matter will be over only if you apologize to me." Chen Suhua insisted.
Shen Yan pursed her lips and decided to let this little bitch go today. She would have plenty of opportunities to deal with her in the future. "Okay, Chen Suhua, I'm sorry!"
Chen Suhua naturally saw the hatred in Shen Yan's eyes, but she didn't intend to be afraid. She was not someone who could be bullied.
Today it was Shen Yan, Qian Jingdan and Ye Huan's turn to cook, and the three of them went to the kitchen.
The previous kitchen was burned down by a fire, and the roof of the female educated youth's side was also slightly burned by the fire. The roof was covered with thatch, but no one went to sleep on the side near the wall, so the kang became even more crowded.
"The secretary said that a few more educated youth will arrive in a few days, and it will be even more crowded then." Liang Yunyue said, "Alas, I don't have any money. If I did, I would go out and build my own house."
After they come here, if their family doesn't have a way out, they can forget about going back. They don't know how many years they will have to stay here in the future. She is really fed up with this kind of life with a bunch of people crowded in one house.
Chen Suhua sincerely thanked Ji Xia, "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do. Maybe everyone would think I stole the money."
Speaking of which, Chen Suhua was still very angry, even though she won.
Honest people are like this. They try their best not to conflict with others if possible. Even if they win, they will feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. I came here today to ask for your help." Ji Xia said.
Liang Yunyue and Chen Suhua said in unison, "What's the matter? Tell me!"
"My mother is going to live in my father's factory for a while. The house is empty and there is no one to look after it. I mean, do you want to rent my house? Fifty cents a quarter is enough." Ji Xia said.
Fifty cents a quarter, even Chen Suhua was willing to give it out, which could be said to be Ji Xia giving them the house for free.
"This..." Chen Suhua felt it was too cheap, and she was worried that Ji Xia was giving her a benefit.
Ji Xia also knew the situation of Chen Suhua's family. "If fifty cents is too much, you can use dried wild vegetables or mountain products to pay the rent, or firewood."
Ji Xia mentioned firewood mainly because she also needed to burn firewood in the military compound.
Chen Suhua also knew that Ji Xia had misunderstood, "Xia Xia, we are taking advantage of you too much."
Ji Xia heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "It's mutually beneficial! You just need to help me keep an eye on the house. I don't know if anyone is willing to go to the educated youth center. Can you two ask around for me?"
Liang Yunyue said hurriedly, "Are you worried that no one is willing to go? Suhua and I are willing to go. I can also ask if there are any male educated youth willing to go. You should have plenty of firewood and food at home. I think it would be better to find two male educated youth to go."
"Okay, you two, plus two male educated youth. But first, let me make it clear that the house I'm renting out is two trailers in the back. The lighting and orientation might not be very good. There are two separate rooms, one east and one west, with a kang and furniture inside."
Ji Xia reminded him that after all, it was once a big house where the landlord of the village lived. The two trailers were just behind the main house, extending to the north. A wall separated them from the main house in front, with a hall in the middle.
Even if her mother comes back to live with her in the future, it will not affect her mother's independent life. Moreover, with someone at home, she and her father will not be too worried, so that her father does not have to run home in the middle of the night after get off work.
Of course, it would be best if her mother stayed in the city, but her mother, probably because of her family background, was very self-conscious and felt that she was only good at growing crops and was only willing to farm.
"If you're willing, I'll have someone build a stove in the small room at the back, and I'll provide the kitchen utensils," Ji Xia said. "You can also give me some space in the yard at the back to grow vegetables."
"That's not necessary. We already have our own private plots at the educated youth camp. When we move there, we can divide up the private plots here and grow vegetables on our own."
Liang Yunyue was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She and Ji Xia had always had a good relationship. She had visited Ji Xia's house before and knew the layout of her house. The two trailers were not small in size and were spacious enough for two people to live in one.
These conditions are simply too good to be true.
"Then help me find two male educated youth!" Ji Xia instructed, "They must be of good character!"
"Don't leave. I'll help you call someone. You know them. They're Chen Zhigang and Shang Zhikun. It's just them. If it were someone else, Su Hua and I wouldn't be at ease."
Liang Yunyue looked at Chen Suhua, and Chen Suhua didn't hesitate, "Just the two of them."
The stove was just starting to burn, Shen Yan was busy beside the stove, Ye Huan was watching over the stove and putting firewood in, Qian Jingdan was sitting next to them, she had just arrived and didn't know how to do anything.
It was still early for dinner. Chen Zhigang and Shang Zhikun were listening to people chatting in the room where the male educated youth lived. They saw Liang Yunyue show up at the door, called out to them, and they both got up and went out.
The others didn't pay much attention and continued to talk about their own things.
"What's the matter?" Chen Zhigang asked.
"Good news, come here!" Liang Yunyue even walked with a floating look on her face.
It’s not that there were no educated youth who stayed in the homes of their fellow villagers, but there was no family planning at that time, and every household had many children. There were many couples under the age of 30 who had five or six children. Their own homes were extremely crowded, so there was no room for rent.
Besides, it is never a good idea to live under the same roof with someone else's family. In the past, there have been cases where male educated youth had affairs with other people's girls and wives, and female educated youth had their innocence ruined by the men in their families.
Otherwise, the brigade would not have set up a special place for the educated youth to live in, and would have placed them either at the head or the end of the village, trying to keep the relationship as clear as possible.
When the two male educated youth learned that Ji Xia wanted to rent the two rooms in his house to them at a symbolic fee of fifty cents per room per quarter, they felt that it was a perfect match.
"Is this true?"
Shang Zhikun was worried that he had heard wrongly. He really didn't want to live with those male educated youth. They caused so much trouble every day. Recently, He Yaoming was entangled with Ji Fang again. He didn't know whether Ye Huan was also involved with Ji Fang. Anyway, he and He Yaoming were at loggerheads. The two had quarreled countless times and there was no peace.
And the most important thing for him is that the cowshed is not far from Ji's house.
