Chapter 2: Crowded Youth House
"Look, these two girls look exactly the same. Their little faces are so cute."
"Well, he's quite handsome, but he's too thin, so it's hard for him to have children."
"That's right. No matter how pretty she is, it's useless. She still needs to have a big butt and a round waist. She needs to be able to give birth to a son and not be delayed from working in the fields. That's what makes a good wife!"
In fact, Chen Shiying and her sister are not as thin as they say. Although they have a slim figure, they still have flesh where it should be, but it is not so exaggerated.
"Auntie Wang, you're looking for a wife for your son Erdan again! If you ask me, you should just give up on this idea. She's an educated young woman, there's no way she'd marry your son Erdan!"
"Zhang Erya, put your mother's balls aside, do you believe I will tear your mouth apart?"
Aunt Wang was about to tear Zhang Erya apart with her claws and teeth bared, and the other aunts and grandmas hurriedly stopped her. For a moment, the scene became very lively.
Now it was Zhou Ziwen's turn to watch the show. He knew that with the looks of these two girls, they would definitely be noticed by these aunties and grandmas.
At this time, the sisters Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi were in a state of social death, with their heads buried in their chests, not daring to raise their heads.
This unique welcome method is really eye-opening.
"Okay, you have nothing to do, right? Go away and go home."
Fortunately, Wu Dagang stepped forward at this time to stop this farce.
Wu Dagang was the secretary of the Dabazi Production Team, and he was the one who brought back Zhou Ziwen and other educated youth.
After driving away the villagers, Wu Dagang took them to the Youth League Home.
The Youth House was a residence specially prepared by the production team for these educated youth.
It was the house of a former landlord. After the landlord was overthrown, the house became idle and the useful things inside had long been stolen.
Only some broken walls and ruins are left.
Later, when educated youth went to the countryside, the production team simply renovated this place and turned it into the current educated youth home.
There are only three habitable houses in the Youth League Home now, one for male educated youth and one for female educated youth, and the remaining one is used as a firewood shed.
The rest of the rooms only had a few dilapidated walls, which had been transformed into vegetable gardens by the old educated youth who had come here before, and were now planted with various vegetables.
Of course, Zhou Ziwen and his friends definitely didn’t get any of these vegetables, after all, they were all grown by others with great effort.
"Chen Yang, Liu Lingling, the new educated youth have arrived. Please come out and make arrangements."
Arriving at the gate of the Youth League Home, Wu Dagang shouted inside.
“Here I come, here I come!”
Soon, a man and a woman ran out from their respective rooms.
"Secretary Wu is here. You've worked hard today. Come in and have a drink of water first!" Chen Yang greeted them warmly.
"No, let's get down to business. Just like before, arrange them first, and then go to the branch to ask me for an advance on food." Wu Dagang waved his hand and began to arrange tasks.
"Okay, Secretary Wu, we will definitely arrange for them." Liu Lingling said immediately.
"Okay, let's find some people to unload the luggage first. This huge cart of stuff must have exhausted the oxen." After instructing Chen Yang and Liu Lingling, Wu Dagang said to Zhou Ziwen and the others, "Don't be idle either. Hurry up and unload the goods. Take a day off first to adjust your condition. You will officially start work the day after tomorrow."
"From now on, just follow the arrangements of Chen Yang and Liu Lingling. They are the male and female captains of your educated youth group."
Their team leader was just elected by the village to facilitate the management of the educated youth. He had no power and was just a title that sounded nice.
Soon, with the help of everyone, Zhou Ziwen and his friends finally unloaded their luggage.
Wu Dagang did not stop, but left with the ox cart, holding his pipe in his hand.
The cow is the treasure of the production team, and he has to take it back quickly to rest.
While everyone was seeing Secretary Wu off, Zhou Ziwen observed the faces of these old educated youth and found that they all looked haggard, as if they were bent over by the pressure of life.
"It seems like they're not having an easy time!" Zhou Ziwen thought.
Although he had anticipated life in the countryside, he was still a little speechless after actually seeing the mental outlook of these people.
But he quickly adjusted his attitude. Just because these old educated youth had a hard life didn't mean his life would be as hard as well.
If he didn't have the auto-switch panel, he might not be able to compare with these people, but it would be a bit embarrassing if he couldn't live a good life with the auto-switch panel.
"Welcome everyone to the Dabazi Production Team. My name is Chen Yang, and I'm the team leader for the male educated youth."
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Lingling, and I'm the team leader of the female educated youth team. If you have any questions, you can come to me."
Chen Yang and Liu Lingling introduced themselves respectively.
"There aren't many people in our educated youth camp. There are eleven of us, five men and six women. Now that you've joined us, the size of our educated youth team has finally expanded."
"Now, let's introduce ourselves to each other!"
Chen Yang is quite good at dealing with people, and he was able to build relationships with everyone with just a few words.
Next, everyone started introducing themselves.
"Hello everyone, my name is Song Chengbing..."
"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Tao..."
…
Listening to everyone's self-introductions, Zhou Ziwen took notes carefully for a while, but there were too many people, so he only remembered a few of them. As for the rest, he would talk about them later.
Anyway, after spending a long time together, everyone will naturally get to know each other.
However, he still counted the number of people. There were twelve new educated youth, half of them were men and half were women. Together with the old educated youth, there were a total of twenty-three people.
When there are too many people, problems are likely to arise. In addition, the villagers in the countryside are not very welcoming to these educated youth, so one can imagine what their future will be like.
After a busy day, everyone is tired, especially the newly arrived educated youth. After several days of running around and bumpy rides, they can't wait to collapse on the bed.
Transportation was not so convenient in those days, and they suffered a lot along the way.
"I know everyone is tired. We can talk later. Now let's allocate accommodation first. We have to go to the branch office to get food in advance, otherwise we will starve."
"But these grains are advance payments. You'll have to pay them back with your work points later. I won't go into details here. Just remember this."
Seeing that everyone was very tired, Chen Yang didn't say much. He briefly introduced the current situation and began to take them to allocate accommodation.
The male educated youth followed Chen Yang, and the female educated youth followed Liu Lingling.
Following Chen Yang, Zhou Ziwen walked into the room with his luggage.
As soon as you enter the house, you will see a very large kang.
The kang is full of authentic Northeastern style, with several quilts spread on it and a hole for burning fire underneath.
But it's summer now, so there's no need to heat the kang.
Judging from the current situation, although this kang is quite large, with these newcomers, there are eleven people, and it is still very stressful for them to all sleep on one kang.
The room was also a bit messy, with the luggage of the old educated youth and some daily necessities piled inside, making it look very crowded.
