Chapter 151 The Dwellings of Female Educated Youths
There were originally more than a dozen female educated youths in Qianchuan Forest Farm. After Sun Yunpeng and others had their incidents, the forest farm said that it would send all the educated youths from Songjianghe back.
When the families of several female educated youth from Songjianghe saw this situation, they simply tried to get their daughters away.
Whether it's arranging a job or a marriage, no one wants their daughter to suffer or be in danger at the forest farm.
Among the local female educated youth in Qianchuan Forest Farm, Tang Fengying married Gao Haining.
Some of them either married into other forest farms or got engaged, so they stopped coming to the educated youth team.
So now there are only five or six female educated youth left in the educated youth team. Forget about the women's logging team.
"By the way, Uncle Wang just told me that he wants to assign Qinglan to the inspection team as a timber inspector."
Sheng Xiping suddenly remembered this matter and mentioned it to his mother.
"Inspector? That's a good job. It's much better than going up the mountain with you guys to cut down and carry timber."
Zhang Shuzhen was quite pleased to hear this.
"Your Uncle Wang is on Qinglan's side, he specially found her a slightly easier job."
Due to changes in the job situation and needs of the forest farm, every year at the beginning of the winter harvest and transportation season, the production team needs to allocate or supplement timber inspectors, which are commonly referred to as timber gauge inspectors.
The employment opportunities in the forest farm are very limited, with many physically demanding jobs available, and there are actually not many positions suitable for female employees.
The job of a timber inspector is considered one of the easier jobs in the work team.
Therefore, in most forest farms, female employees are given priority for the position of inspector.
Actually, being an inspector isn't exactly a desirable job.
In the Changbai Mountain forest area, the temperature drops to minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius in winter. The female inspectors wear thick winter clothes, leather hats, and scarves, and they have to measure the temperature in the freezing cold. It is quite a hardship for them.
However, compared to other physically demanding jobs, this is a very easy job, and the pay is not low.
Moreover, if an inspector performs well, they can take further exams and be promoted to the technician level.
Logically speaking, Zhou Qinglan was just an educated youth sent to the forest farm and was not qualified to be an inspector. The forest farm had too many female employees to accommodate her.
However, Wang Jiachuan has a good relationship with the Sheng family, and Zhou Qinglan has a high school diploma, which is sufficient for her needs.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the organization decided to let Zhou Qinglan learn measuring from her master and temporarily treat her as a temporary worker, waiting for an opportunity to recruit more workers so that she could become a permanent employee.
With Zhou Qinglan's intelligence and dedication, she will be able to complete her apprenticeship in no time.
As long as she works hard, she will be given priority consideration when there are job openings in the future. This is for the future and to make long-term plans.
“Qinglan is going to get the measurements taken, she doesn’t need to stay on the mountain, right? So she’s still living in the collective household?” Zhang Shuzhen suddenly remembered this.
In the collective household area, all the male educated youth went to the mountain area to set up camp for logging, leaving very few female educated youth.
The collective household's house is so big, and it's close to the back mountain. Only a few girls live there. Not only is it a hassle to cook, but we can't guarantee their safety either.
This forest farm is so large, and there's also the Dajianchang village next door, with a total population of 1,500 to 1,600.
With so many people, of varying character, who dares to say there aren't a few bad ones?
What if some man with ill intentions sneaks off to the collective household?
There are only a few girls. What if something unexpected happens to them?
"Yes, I was just thinking of discussing this with my family."
"Mom, do you think it would be alright if Qinglan, Li Xue, and Wang Lin came to stay with us?"
Sheng Xiping had already considered this matter, but he hadn't had time to discuss it with his family yet.
Of the female educated youth from Songjianghe, only Zhou Qinglan, Li Xue, and Wang Lin remain in Qianchuan.
Other locals from Maekawa can go home to live, but the three of them have nowhere to go.
Sheng Xiping's idea was that since the West Room was currently vacant and Sheng Xiping and Sheng Liancheng would have to go up the mountain to live for more than three months, it would be better to let Zhou Qinglan and Li Xue live in the West Room.
Zhou Qinglan and her colleagues work on the mountain during the day and return to their homes at night, so it doesn't interfere with anything.
Zhang Shuzhen cooked and lit a fire on the kang (heated brick bed) in the west room.
Otherwise, the west room also needs to be heated. If a house isn't heated, it won't last long and will suffer from frost damage.
Anyway, Zhou Qinglan is about to get engaged to Sheng Xiping and will be living in the Sheng family home, so no one can say anything about it.
With Zhang Shuzhen looking after them, no one dared to bully the two girls.
"Okay, that's great, I really like girls and girls."
Qinglan is sensible and capable. I've met Li Xue and Wang Lin, and they're both quite nice.
Then let's do it this way. You should tell Qinglan to have them move over as soon as possible.
"Don't live in the collective household anymore, it's a long way from the forest farm." Zhang Shuzhen was naturally delighted to hear this.
"Okay, then I'll go tell Qinglan to have them pack their things and come stay here."
Seeing that there was nothing for him to do at home, Sheng Xiping nodded and went straight to the collective household.
On the collective household side, the male educated youth were all packing their belongings.
On the other hand, the female educated youth whose families were local were already thinking about moving back home.
Zhou Qinglan, Li Xue, and Wang Lin were left sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), unsure of what to do.
Zhou Qinglan is fine; if things don't work out, she can stay at the Tang family's place.
But those two female educated youths can't go with them. They used to live in other employees' homes, and it's not easy for them to go back now.
Sheng Xiping knocked on the window from the outside, "Qinglan, come out for a moment."
Inside the room, the girls exclaimed in surprise and looked at Zhou Qinglan with great interest.
Everyone in the forest knew that Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan were dating. They had already met each other's parents and were just waiting to get engaged and married.
