Chapter 2 Xiaohe Brigade
Fang Xiaoli didn't know what to do. After hearing what Chen Yi said, she could only keep silent.
After the person above finished speaking, Chen Yi took two steps forward and said, "Director Jin, right? Hello, I'm Chen Yi. I'd like to ask, Fang Xiaoli and I are from the same street, and we've been friends since we were young, can we be assigned together?"
Hearing this, Director Jin was obviously unhappy. He had already made the decision, why should he change it?
Chen Yi also noticed that he was unhappy, and continued, "Director Jin, we are both female comrades, and it is not easy for us to take care of each other here. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, don't make it difficult."
At this point, if the other party is obviously unwilling, you have to speak out about the bad decision.
Making things difficult for others is the same as embarrassing them in public.
Especially leaders who make decisions, they are more controllable and don’t like others to oppose them.
Hearing this, Director Jin's expression softened. After a moment's thought, he said, "Okay, since you two are both female comrades, let's just forget about it. Fang Xiaoli will go to the Xiaohe Brigade, and Comrade Xiao will go to the Shanhe Brigade."
He swapped Fang Xiaoli with someone else, and that was the end of it.
The other one is also a lesbian, and we are all unfamiliar with this place, so it doesn’t matter where we go, it’s all the same.
Fang Xiaoli was so happy that she held Chen Yi's hand and kept smiling foolishly.
"That's great, Chen Yi, you're awesome." She didn't expect it would work, but it was better this way.
Chen Yi smiled and said nothing. She was willing to keep Fang Xiaoli by her side, not afraid of being discovered to have replaced her, because this little girl was thick-skinned.
And I know the original owner's situation, so I can ask him if I have any questions in the future.
It's always better to have someone familiar than to be alone.
The two of them sat on the ox cart of the Xiaohe Brigade. The old man driving the cart put on gloves and looked at them with disdain.
"They are all young girls this time, what can they do?" He sighed and said, "I am Li Qinglin, the captain of the Xiaohe Brigade. I will tell you about the situation on the way."
Chen Yi and Fang Xiaoli sat obediently on the wooden boards of the ox cart. Because this was Northeast China, it was freezing cold and the wooden boards were also very cold.
Fortunately, she was wearing thick cotton pants and a thick cotton jacket, otherwise she would have frozen to death.
Wang Limei didn't cheat her with the clothes and belongings, probably because the person had already left, so she gave her some good things.
It seems like I don’t have to worry about it anymore?
On the way, Li Qinglin talked about the situation of Xiaohe Brigade. There are more than one hundred households in the brigade, which is quite large. Some brigades have only more than twenty households.
There were already ten educated youth in their brigade, and most of them were men, eight young people, so two female comrades were assigned this time. He just complained but did not object.
The gender ratio of educated youth in other brigades was similar, and in some cases it was even 50-50.
You have to know that no matter how incompetent a man is, he can still do more than a woman, so he likes male educated youth to come.
The ox cart had been swaying for more than half an hour, and Fang Xiaoli couldn't help but ask, "Captain, aren't we there yet?"
It was too cold that day and she could hardly bear it.
No matter how thick the cotton-padded jacket is, it cannot withstand the cold wind.
Chen Yi also felt very cold. The sky was getting darker and darker. It was just after four in the afternoon and it was already dark.
I still saw the time from the commune house. It was already four o'clock when we set out.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, and soon snowflakes began to fall.
"We'll be there in half an hour, so just be patient. It hasn't snowed in the past two days, and you're unlucky. The temperature has dropped today." Li Qinglin replied and continued to drive.
Fang Xiaoli pursed her lips and looked at Chen Yi, "Are you cold? There is a scarf in my luggage bag, take it out and put it on!"
She was wearing a hat and a scarf, but she still felt very cold.
But Chen Yi only wore a hat, without a scarf, and her little face was red from the cold.
I was so excited looking at the scenery just now, but this time I was so cold that I came back to reality and found that the person next to me was so frozen.
Chen Yi shook her head. She had everything in her space. When she was collecting supplies with the scumbag team, she had found several factories and shopping malls.
I wouldn’t say it has everything, but it has everything you need for home and travel.
Moreover, she was sitting behind Li Qinglin, and the wind was blocked.
Why not use a ready-made tool?
After a long bumpy ride, they finally saw the outline of the house.
When I got closer, I found that almost every house had no lights, and some of them had dim lights.
Li Qinglin parked the car in a large yard. There was a row of houses on this side, which looked quite large.
"Get off the bus, we've arrived at the educated youth point." He helped carry the luggage, as the two of them had quite a lot of stuff.
"The captain is here." At this time, one of the doors was opened and several people walked out.
The one in the front was a man in his thirties. “Captain, the kang in that room has collapsed, and we don’t know how to fix it.”
"The kang collapsed?" Li Qinglin was stunned for a moment, then followed the man into the house to take a look.
Sure enough, the kang had collapsed in half, and there was still a smell of burning fire in the room.
The tables and chairs were clean, only the kang was broken.
"What should I do?" Li Qinglin frowned in frustration.
He turned around and asked, "Wang Jin, is there any room in the other rooms? Let's deal with it first."
Wang Jin was the man in his thirties. He shook his head and said, "It's only room for one person."
The two female educated youth definitely could not sleep with the men, but the rooms for the female educated youth were all for two people. Now there were three people in one room, and there was another room for two people.
Originally it would have been just right for two people to live here, but three would have been too crowded, and four was definitely out of the question.
Li Qinglin thought for a moment and said, "There is a house in Hexi, but it has not been lit for a long time. Even if it is lit today, it may not be warm. Who of you two will go?"
"I'll go! I have a lot of quilts and can resist the cold." Fang Xiaoli raised her hand. She brought two quilts, otherwise she wouldn't have so much luggage.
One is a ten-pound quilt and the other is a five-pound quilt. As long as you don't sleep outside, you'll be fine.
Chen Yi held her back and said, "I'll go. Xiaoli, you can squeeze in with them. I don't like sleeping in a crowded place."
This is the truth.
And she had just arrived here and couldn't sleep because she had too many things on her mind.
It's nice to be alone and have some peace and quiet.
Fang Xiaoli didn't know what she was thinking and thought she was taking care of herself, so she almost cried.
"Chen Yi, no, you only have one quilt!" She also didn't want Chen Yi to suffer from the cold.
The two people stayed here and argued with each other.
Chen Yi frowned and said seriously: "Uncle Fang told you to listen to me, do you want to listen?"
Uncle Fang is Fang Xiaoli’s father, and he usually takes good care of the original owner. This is what Fang Xiaoli told her.
Fang Xiaoli probably never dreamed that the words she said to Chen Yi would be used to force herself today.
After hearing this, she did not insist this time and asked Chen Yi to bring her own quilt, otherwise she was afraid that Chen Yi would freeze to death.
"Oh, no need. There are quilts over there." Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Li Qinglin quickly sent someone to Hexi.
It's so late, and he still wants to go home to eat and sleep.
