Chapter 26 Arrival at the Production Brigade (Part 2)
After everyone had introduced themselves, they started to arrange the rooms. There were two rooms for the women. The kang in each room could sleep three people. The three girls occupied one room.
There were four people in Lu Xiaoxiao's group. She saw that besides her, the other three girls were standing together. It was obvious that they were going to live together. The boys' side had two large rooms and a small room which was just enough for them to live in. Now she was the only one who had no place to live.
This situation seemed very pitiful to her, but it was actually exactly what she wanted. Uncle Liu saw that things were like this and told them to pack up first. After they had packed up, Zhang Zhiqing took them to the team to get food.
After Uncle Liu finished speaking, he took her and Wang Gang to the captain's house.
Uncle Liu went to the captain's house and told him the situation. The captain thought about it and let her live in his house first, and then build a house in the spring of next year with the resettlement fee given by the higher authorities.
After hearing what the captain said, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Gang.
When Wang Gang saw Lu Xiaoxiao looking at him, he understood what Lu Xiaoxiao meant, so he looked at the captain and said, "Captain, my name is Wang Gang, and I'm Xiaoxiao's uncle. This time I came mainly for her. This child's situation is a bit special. Her parents just died not long ago. At such a young age, she couldn't listen to the advice and wanted to learn from her parents and contribute to the country, so she signed up to go to the countryside.
I only found out about this later, so I came with her. I just saw that the youth camp was full, and it was impossible to build a house in the heavy snow. Living here for a long time is not a problem, so I wanted to ask if there was an empty house in the village so we could buy it. Xiaoxiao is going to stay here for a long time, so I thought it would be more convenient to buy a house. After all, she is young and can't get along with the people in the youth camp."
The captain thought about what Wang Gang said, then he tapped his pipe and said, "There is a house in the village, but the location is not very good at the foot of the mountain. It was the house of an old hunter. The old hunter fell to his death and the house has been empty ever since. When the house was built, because it was at the foot of the mountain, solid materials such as stone were used, just in case something came out of the mountain. If you want, I'll take you to have a look."
Lu Xiaoxiao was delighted when she heard the captain's words, and then she immediately looked at Wang Gang.
Wang Gang seemed to be very satisfied with the house the captain introduced, so he said, "Then I'll trouble you, captain."
Led by the team leader, Lu Xiaoxiao and Wang Gang came to the house at the foot of the mountain. The house looked really nice from the outside. The courtyard wall was made of stone and was about 1.5 meters high. Due to the passage of time, the courtyard gate was gone.
Walking into the yard, Lu Xiaoxiao saw an earthen house. The house was in good condition except that the roof was gone. There were three rooms in the house: one was a bedroom, one was a living room, and the other was a kitchen. There was nothing in it except a kang and a stove.
The front yard is not big, only about 100 square meters, and the ground is paved with earth bricks and is very flat. The most surprising thing is that there is a well, which makes it very convenient to use water in the future.
The backyard is smaller than the front yard, only about 50 square meters. It looks like it was used to grow vegetables in the past. There is also a toilet in the corner, but the wood used to build it has fallen down, leaving only a wooden barrel underneath, which allows people to recognize it as a toilet.
After Lu Xiaoxiao saw the house, she decided to buy it. Wang Gang also thought that the house would be great after some renovation, so he went to discuss it with the team leader.
In the end, the team wanted the house for 180 yuan. Since the resettlement allowance for those who moved to the countryside was 120 yuan, she only had to pay another 60 yuan and the house would be hers. Since it was too late today, the formalities would have to be handled tomorrow.
