Zhang Weimin didn't buy it at all. "Old Yu, don't you understand the rules?"
"Okay, Zhang Weimin, you've forgotten what happened to Li Chengde from your brigade a few days ago. Since Xu Zhiqing and Jiang Ye are both here, let's go and kidnap Li Chengde. We won't send him to the commune, we'll send him to the Public Security Bureau."
Yu Baoguo left as soon as he said he would, and Xu Nuannuan and Jiang Ye also cooperated very well. Zhang Weimin suddenly got scared and quickly called out to Yu Guobao.
"Old Yu, Old Yu, if you have something to say, please talk it over nicely. Don't hurt the relationship."
"It was you who insisted on ruining the relationship, don't blame me."
Zhang Weimin called Xu Nuannuan and said, "If this gets out, it will be bad for your reputation."
"I'll just be honest and tell the police about him harassing me."
"He didn't do anything to you, so why bother?"
"He harassed lesbians and claimed he didn't do anything. Do we really want him to do something?"
Jiang Ye's gaze immediately shot towards Zhang Weimin, like a sharp knife, stabbing Zhang Weimin and making him shudder.
In the end, Zhang Weimin was defeated. If he really sent Li Chengde to the Public Security Bureau, it would be a much bigger case than Tong Qingmin and Feng Zhiwei stealing corn. He had no choice but to give up the matter, release Tong Qingmin and Feng Zhiwei, and untie their ropes.
Yu Guobao asked him to send the two men back to Qingping Bay.
After Tong Weimin left, Yu Guobao severely criticized Tong Qingmin and Feng Zhiwei.
"Captain, we did pick up the corn on the road, but it was on their side of the road. As soon as we got the corn in our hands, their people came out of the field and said we stole the corn from their field."
In fact, the two of them were assigned to watch the fields over there. The corn cobs were now ready to be cooked and eaten, so they were afraid that someone would steal the corn, so they asked someone to watch it.
Yu Guobao was still furious: "You picked up things you knew belonged to them, otherwise why would they arrest you? I'll fine each of you 50 work points to see if you'll try to get something for nothing again. If we don't stop you this time and they send you to the commune, our brigade will become infamous again, a disgrace!"
But this time he had to thank Xu Nuannuan again. It was Xu Nuannuan who told him about this matter in time and helped him rescue the two people, thus saving the reputation of the team.
"Uncle, if what Tong Zhiqing and Feng Zhiqing said is true, then throwing corn on the road must have been done intentionally by the neighboring brigade in order to ruin our brigade's reputation."
The captain nodded and said, "It's a pity that our educated youth really fell for it."
Tong Qingmin and Feng Zhiwei lowered their heads, looking extremely guilty.
The team leader scolded them without hesitation: "Idiots! If this gets out to the commune, not only will our team's reputation be affected, but you two will never be able to return to the city, never go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, never... Anyway, you won't get any of the quotas that other educated youth may have received."
"Captain, we, we all know we were wrong."
Xu Nuannuan said, "Captain, we have to be on guard against their village from now on."
"Well, I'll find a way to inform everyone." Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Weimin, this villain!"
Xu Nuannuan mentioned that she wanted to move out of the educated youth camp and said to the team leader, "Uncle Captain, I have one more thing to tell you. I think I may not be suitable to live in the educated youth camp. I have a dog, and some educated youth would dislike it. I don't want it to disturb others, so I want to move out. Uncle Captain, can you grant me a piece of residential land? I want to build a house."
"You want to move out, but you're a girl." But when he thought of Xu Nuannuan's fighting ability, he was no longer worried: "Okay, where do you want to build a house?"
Xu Nuannuan told the team leader about the location and said, "I like quietness and want to build a house there."
"Okay, there's some vacant land over there, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Captain."
"Hey, what are you thanking me for? If I really want to thank you, I should be the one thanking you."
"Uncle Captain, I'm not very familiar with the members of our brigade. You have to help me find some bricklayers."
"No problem, do you want to build a brick house or an adobe house?"
"Adobe ones will do."
Firstly, she can live in the same place as the people here, and secondly, she will be leaving here soon, so there is no need to build a brick house.
"Okay, these days our two children and their wives are free, I'll find someone else for you."
Xu Nuannuan looked at Tong Qingmin and Feng Zhiwei: "What are you two willing to do?"
"Yes, yes."
The two of them answered together that they were both short of money, otherwise they would not care about the corn thrown by others.
Xu Nuannuan, the team leader, Tong Qingmin and Feng Zhiwei agreed on the wages. According to the contracting system, they would get one cent for each adobe brick. A room required three or four hundred adobe bricks, which was three or four yuan. Building the courtyard wall required about seven or eight adobe bricks.
The total cost of digging the foundation is two dollars. Basically, two people can finish digging it in one day. The next step is tamping. It requires more strong laborers, but it doesn't cost much.
Xu Nuannuan planned to build three rooms, one for a bedroom, one for a living room, and another for a utility room.
Excluding the labor cost for doors and windows, the wood costs two dollars, and the nails and other miscellaneous items cost about seventy or eighty dollars.
"We need to make the adobe bricks and lay the foundation first. It rained recently, so the soil is wet, which will make it easier to make."
"Okay, Captain, let's get started this afternoon without further ado."
"OK."
The roof of the adobe house also needs to be covered with tiles. Their brigade does not have a brick kiln, so they cannot make bricks and tiles, so they need to buy tiles from the brick and tile factory in the commune.
