Chapter 366 New and Old Educated Youth
There are now nine male educated youth and seven female educated youth.
In comparison, the living quarters for the female educated youth are relatively spacious.
The male educated youth were not crowded either. After all, the kangs in the countryside were very large. A kang took up an entire wall, and people slept next to each other. Even if ten people could not sleep on one kang, at least eight could.
The largest number of male educated youth now lived in a room, with five people in one room, which was more than enough.
Besides, in the production team, in order to save firewood, it was common for the whole family to sleep on one kang in winter.
Compared to them, the educated youth were really much better off and too extravagant.
Xiao Dashan said, they were all grown-ups, so what was the point of living on the same kang? It also saved him from having to light the kang in the other room.
But it didn't matter, they would go collect firewood by themselves anyway, so he didn't need to worry about it.
"How you live and who lives with whom is up to you to decide. Guo Chenggang, as an old educated youth, you should explain it to them. You old educated youths will be the ones leading the new comrades in the future! I have also taken back your subsidies. This is the money. I have put it here for you."
"But there is one thing we must say first. This is the resettlement fee for you educated youth. Each person will only receive this once. You must plan carefully how to spend this money, so that you don't end up spending more than you earn."
"Also, our production team spent a lot of labor and materials to build the house for you. Not to mention the labor, you have to pay for the materials. The total is 100 yuan. There are 16 of you now. If you divide it among each person, the money is not much, 6 yuan and 25 cents per person. Do you have any objection to this?"
"Since you have no objection, let's talk about the next thing. If you think this house is too crowded, we can help you build a few more rooms. It will only take two or three days to build a few houses before the busy farming season starts. But you still have to pay for the construction of the houses. It's up to you whether to build the house or not."
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. You can make your own arrangements. As for the food for the new educated youth, Guo Chenggang, you can bring your people to the granary to collect it later."
After Xiao Dashan finished making the arrangements, he turned around and left, leaving the group of educated youth who had come looking at each other in bewilderment.
How come this is different from what they thought? Guo Chenggang looked at their faces and felt amused, but also a little sad.
Thinking back to when he first came, he was even more confused than them!
Now they are considered to be in a good situation, at least there are a few old educated youths to lead them, so they can avoid many detours! Guo Chenggang has been the principal for a while, and his eloquence, courage and leadership ability are no longer the same as before.
He cleared his throat, smiled and explained the situation here to the new informants. After he had said everything he could and should say, he stood up and said, "We can talk about everything else after we get back. Let's get the food back first!"
This is of utmost importance, so naturally no one raised any objections.
When they went to collect food, Guo Chenggang brought the newly arrived educated youth with him, just in time to help them get familiar with the road, even though it was already dark outside and they couldn't see anything in the dark.
In the evening, in order to welcome the new educated youth, Guo Chenggang and the old educated youth prepared a fairly sumptuous dinner.
This richness comes from adding more fine grains to the pancake.
