But no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't figure it out, so they simply ignored it and continued to follow the ox cart with difficulty.
Li Lin walked while observing the surrounding environment.
Actually, there is nothing to observe. There is land on both sides. It is summer now, and everything is green as far as the eye can see.
The road under my feet is black soil, which is bumpy and not flat at all. If I don't watch the road, I can easily sprain my ankle.
After about two hours, Zhang Jun finally said something that instantly cheered everyone up: "The team is at the intersection ahead, everyone should work harder, get there early, and rest early."
Hearing this, Li Lin raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was almost six o'clock. No wonder her stomach was growling with hunger.
Then he put down his hand and followed the ox cart into the team.
At the entrance of the village, I saw many children wearing only jackets and with bare buttocks playing in the mud together.
When they saw them coming over, they just glanced over here and continued playing.
"We're here." Zhang Jun parked the ox cart in front of a row of mud houses surrounded by fences.
Behind him was a courtyard with a row of blue brick and tile houses, and he shouted twice into the courtyard.
The work got off early today. The female educated youth who was cooking in the kitchen heard the shouting and came out.
"Is Zhao Zhiqing here? That's great. I'm bringing the new Zhiqing in." Zhang Jun led them inside and said, "The mud house in front is a big bunk bed. There's one room for male Zhiqing and one for female Zhiqing. One is a warehouse and one is a kitchen."
"Captain, I see there is a house in the back, can we live there?" Liu Lan looked at the mud house in front of her with a flash of disdain in her eyes, then she looked at the big blue brick and tile house, and then she asked Zhang Jun with satisfaction.
"Sure." Zhang Jun finished speaking, and before Liu Lan could smile, he added, "One dollar a month, and if you pay annually it's ten dollars a year. There are single rooms inside, you can go and take a look."
When Liu Lan heard that she had to spend money, her face suddenly darkened and she remained silent.
The resettlement fee she received for going to the countryside was 50 yuan, half of which was kept by her family. Now she only had 25 yuan in her pocket.
If I live in a single room, I will have to buy pots, pans, and utensils, which is not cost-effective. I'd better not live there.
Then, thinking that Li Lin had decided to live in a single room, he looked at Li Lin with an unbalanced heart and said, "Li Lin, we both came out of the staff housing complex together, why don't we rent a single room and live together? Then we can take care of each other."
When Zhang Jun heard this, he looked at the girl in surprise. He didn't expect that the two were still together.
But if they were together, why didn't they walk together, but instead walked with another girl?
"Bullshit, I think you want to live with Linlin because you are not at ease." Hu Yingying didn't wait for Li Lin to speak, and directly retorted: "You secretly signed up for Linlin to go to the countryside, and Linlin hasn't come to settle the score with you yet. Now you want to live in the same room with Linlin again. I think you are dreaming."
Zhang Jun frowned when he heard the little girl swearing.
After hearing what the little girl said, he not only relaxed his brows, but also looked at Liu Lan sharply.
Liu Lan was horrified by the captain's gaze and quickly lowered her head, not daring to speak again in an attempt to reduce her presence.
"Okay, go and check out the house. I have something else to talk about later." Zhang Jun urged them to go check out the house. After he finished talking, he had to go to the fields.
"I'll go right away. I'll go right away."
