When the first ray of sunlight shone through the window onto the bed, Yue Yue slowly opened her eyes.
She stretched and yawned loudly. She looked at the watch on her wrist and realized that she had slept until noon!
Yue Yue couldn't help feeling anxious when she remembered that the captain had given them two days yesterday to familiarize themselves with the environment and purchase items needed for daily life.
She quickly turned her head to look at the bed next to her, only to see that the newly arrived female educated youth were still immersed in sleep, breathing evenly and lightly.
Yue Yue got out of bed quietly, afraid of waking up others.
After getting dressed and washing up, she began to plan her itinerary for the day.
First, she planned to talk to the team leader about building another house.
Because she felt that living with other educated youth would be inconvenient, and since it was not the busy farming season, everyone had free time and could help build the house as soon as possible.
After making up her mind, Yue Yue waited patiently for the captain to finish his lunch.
Taking advantage of this break, she quietly walked into her room and took out the exquisite pastries and two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes that she had bought in advance.
Then, she carefully wrapped these things in a clean cloth and walked towards the captain's house with light steps.
Not long after walking, Yue Yue saw the captain's house from afar.
At this time, the captain's daughter-in-law was bending over and sweeping the ground carefully.
Yue Yue hurriedly quickened her pace and shouted, "Hello! Are you from the team leader's family? I'm a new educated youth, my name is Yue Yue, and I came here specifically to see the team leader. By the way, I'd like to ask if we educated youth can build our own houses?"
When the captain's wife heard the voice and looked up, alarm bells went off in her heart, thinking that another young girl was having bad intentions towards her husband.
But when she saw that the beautiful and graceful female educated youth in front of her had only come to inquire about matters related to the house, she immediately felt relieved.
When she heard the knock on the door, she hurriedly got up, opened the door, and warmly called Yue Yue to come in quickly.
As soon as she entered the door, she smiled and handed Yue Yue a cup of steaming, sweet and delicious sugar water, and also kindly gestured to Yue Yue to sit down and rest first.
Then, Yue Yue carefully placed the gift that had been carefully wrapped on the table.
At this moment, the captain walked out slowly from the inner room. When he saw that it was Yue Yue, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face.
Because this educated youth left a very good impression on him yesterday.
The team leader was seen sitting leisurely on the chair. He skillfully picked up the pipe beside him and took a deep puff.
Then he slowly exhaled the smoke and asked, "You came to see me today, is there something important?"
When Yue Yue heard the captain's question, she quickly stood up and answered somewhat stiffly, "Captain, it's like this. I want to build a small house for myself. As you know, the female educated youth center in our village is now full, and even if the big kang is heated for half the night, it is difficult for the heat to reach the beds at the back. So..."
At this point, Yue Yue lowered her head slightly, her voice becoming increasingly quiet. "So I was thinking about whether I could build a small house for myself so I could live alone. I'm not in good health and I'm particularly afraid of the cold."
After saying these words, Yue Yue raised her head, her eyes full of expectation and earnestness.
The captain looked at the pitiful girl in front of him and couldn't help feeling a trace of pity in his heart.
In addition, the captain's wife beside him saw Yue Yue sending so many exquisite gifts, and she also chimed in, "Boss, you see how difficult it is for that little girl. We should help her if we can!"
The captain frowned and glared at his wife fiercely. Then he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke.
Then he said, "This piece of land! It's collectively owned by the village. If you build a house here, and then someday you leave the village and go back to the city, our village will definitely not give it to you! So! You have to think about this matter carefully and figure it out before you speak."
Yue Yue, who was standing nearby, heard this and nodded repeatedly, indicating that she fully understood the captain's meaning. "Captain, don't worry! I know everything clearly. If the day ever comes that I leave, this house will naturally belong to the village. I absolutely won't have any objections!"
Seeing that Yue Yue was so reasonable, well-behaved and sensible, the team leader couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards her, so he nodded and decided to tell other villagers about this matter so that everyone would know about the situation.
At this time, Yue Yue did not leave the captain's house immediately, but talked with the captain for a while before leaving.
She smiled and said to the captain, "Captain, I won't bother you for now. I'm thinking of going to the mountain to get some firewood to prepare dinner tonight." After that, she turned and left.
Yue Yue walked alone along the winding mountain path. Not long after, she arrived at the cowshed at the foot of the mountain.
It turned out that this was where Gu Changmu's family and eight other people who were sent down here lived.
It was afternoon at this moment and everyone had just finished lunch. Except for Gu Changmu's grandfather who was approved to take a day off due to illness, the rest of the people had already gone to the fields to start working.
