This is a joke.
We come here to receive rural education, not to lose our lives. Who would dare to live in such a risky place?
"Captain, do we have a safer place to stay? A thatched house will do."
"We don't have thatched houses here." Captain Sun looked hesitant. "Speaking of safety, a stone cave is the safest, but it belongs to someone else. I can't make the decision."
"Stone kiln? What is a stone kiln?"
"Building cave dwellings with stones and then filling them with soil is not only safe but also warm, but the cost is very high."
"How high?"
"One hundred and twenty yuan for a cave."
"Can we build it now?"
"able."
Hearing that it could be covered, Li Chen's eyes lit up and he almost agreed directly, but he held back and said, "Captain, we want to discuss this. Can you wait a moment?"
This is different from a water cellar. One water cellar is enough, so he can make the decision alone. However, a stone kiln is equivalent to a house. One is definitely not enough. He must discuss with others how many to build.
Seeing that he really had this idea, Captain Ge and his son gritted their teeth.
How much money did you bring?
Seeing the captain nod, Li Chen walked over with his three companions and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any ideas about the stone kiln?"
"It must be built." The Liu Yunxiao brothers quickly expressed their opinions.
Xiong Xue said, "I can live in a cave."
Li Chen didn't respond, but turned to look at Liu Yunxiao. "Let's build two stone caves. The men can live in one, and Xiong Xue can live in the other. We can split the cost equally. What do you think?"
"No problem, but the cost won't be split between the two of us, it'll be split between the three of us."
After saying this, Liu Yunxiao patted Liu Yunqin on the shoulder.
Xiong Xue could accept the previous things, but she really didn't dare to accept this one, so she waved her hands and refused, "No, no, you guys live in the stone cave, I'll live here."
Liu Yunxiao glared at her and said unhappily, "You live here alone. Even if you are bullied, we won't know about it. If something happens, it will be too late to regret. Besides, this place is too unsafe. If you are really buried in there, it will be difficult to survive.
Just obey our arrangements and live with us. If you feel bad about it, you can do more housework for us in the future."
Xiong Xue stammered, "But, but..."
"No buts," Liu Yunxiao said firmly, "Brother Chen, go talk to the captain. Leave Xiong Xue to me."
Li Chen knew that this guy was good at dealing with Xiong Xue, so he confidently pulled Liu Yunqin to Captain Ge and said, "Captain, we have agreed to build two stone kilns. The sooner the better."
The captain's expression was very complicated. "As long as nothing unexpected happens, it can be built in ten days."
Li Chen could still accept this, so he smiled and said, "I need your help to find someone again. I'm really sorry to bother you. Should I give you the money directly or what should I do?"
"I'll bring a chef this afternoon. Just give him the money."
At this moment, the team leader suddenly remembered something and asked, "You are planning to build a new kiln. Should the grain and vegetables be delivered here today, or should we take some to eat first and store the rest at the team headquarters and send them over there when it is finished?"
For those who go to the countryside, a one-time subsidy of 45 kilograms of food rations per month for half a year will be provided, and vegetables sufficient for the winter will also be distributed.
These things will be delivered to the brigade headquarters today and then distributed by the brigade headquarters.
There are four people on Li Chen's side, and the amount of food and vegetables added up is not small. It is troublesome to move them around, so the team leader asked this question.
Li Chen pondered for a moment and chose the second option. "First, give us twenty days' worth of rations, and store the rest at the team headquarters."
"Okay." After answering, the team leader instructed, "In our area, there's basically nothing to do in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar. People don't go to work in the fields until after the New Year, so you don't have to think about going to work for now. Use this time to clean up your house, especially firewood. Make sure you collect more, otherwise it won't be enough."
Li Chen was very relieved. After hearing so much bad news, there was finally some good news.
Seeing that he understood, the captain took out three keys from his pocket and handed them to him. He then asked several people to carry the things out of the car, and then left with his son.
Li Chen opened the three doors one by one and moved the things into the cave in the middle with Liu Yunqin.
As soon as the two of them finished moving, Liu Yunxiao came over with Xiong Xue.
After entering the cave and seeing what was inside, Liu Yunxiao couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust on his face.
In fact, it is reasonable to dislike it.
Because the walls inside are also bumpy, but the situation is better than the outer walls.
The cave is about four meters wide, three meters high and six meters deep. In such a large space, there is nothing except a kang at the innermost part, so it looks empty.
At this time, Li Chen said, "I just looked, the three caves are in similar conditions, except that the cave on the far right has an extra stove, a clay pot, and some firewood. Now let's talk about how to live there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Xue quickly replied, "I live on the right side. It's convenient for me to light a fire and cook every day."
Li Chen and his two friends rarely cook at home, and sometimes they don’t even want to eat the food they cook. Now that someone has taken the initiative to take on this task, they are so happy that they naturally won’t object.
Then Liu Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "I'll take Yunqin to live in this room."
"Okay." Li Chen nodded and repeated what Captain Ge had just said.
Liu Yunxiao said that he would take his younger brother out to collect firewood in the afternoon, and try to collect enough firewood as soon as possible.
