Chen Shengli took it and when he saw the fingerprint on it, he looked at Chen Ye meaningfully. Chen Ye scratched his head and smiled foolishly, knowing that this fingerprint could not be hidden from his grandfather.
"You're quite smart, girl. With this, even if things don't go well with Boss Chen, we can still register your household registration under my name first, and then make it independent after a while. It'll just be a bit more troublesome."
"However, you can tell the villagers first. Just say that before the two old men died, they were afraid that you would bring trouble to their two sons, so they wrote this to you in advance. That way, the villagers won't be too curious about why you moved."
Not to mention saying that Ye Zi is heartless and was adopted by Uncle Chen in the hope of a better life. Rumors must take the initiative to benefit their side.
"As for the house you built, if the villagers ask about it, just say I lent you the money to build it so that it can be your dowry in the future. Don't say you built it with your own money."
Otherwise, the villagers might not know how to treat Ye Zi. It would be unpleasant to hear that he had money to build a house but no money to pay for his grandparents' medical treatment and medicine. But Ye Zi was different from him. He was a man and it was okay for people to say a few words to him.
But Ye Zi is a little girl, and a bad reputation will be a big hindrance to her future.
"Hehe, that's what I thought. We think alike."
"What kind of house do you want to build? How about building one like mine? There's enough room for more people."
Chen Ye shook his head: "That won't do, little grandpa, don't forget that we still have educated youth in our village."
"With so many people coming here, the living space is already too crowded. If I build a few rooms, won't people come to stay here?"
"I don't want to cause myself that trouble, so I'll just build two rooms, one for the kitchen and one for living. Without the rooms, naturally no one will miss my house."
"That's fine. Then build a bigger room. When you want to divide it into two rooms later, you can just partition it inside. How about a cellar?"
"Of course we do. How can we store winter vegetables in Northeast China without cellars?"
"Okay, then I'll take care of it. Do you have any other requests?"
"It's gone, but as long as there's a place for people to live, it's fine. I'm just afraid that if I don't build a house soon, I'll have nowhere to live."
"No, you can live here first and then move in once the house is built."
"Go back and pack your things and leave them with me first. By the time you come back, I think the house will be almost ready, so it's just the right time to move in."
"There's nothing much to pack. I don't dare take anything from that house. There are just a few clothes that are in tatters. I'll clean them out when I get back."
"When are you planning to leave?"
"Just these two days."
"Okay, if you tell me when you leave, don't forget to ask the captain for a letter of introduction. Ask for a few extra and keep them separate. It would be troublesome if you lose them."
"I see."
"Then little grandpa, I'll go back and pack my things first."
"Hurry up and move in tonight. The old house is in such a state that I'm afraid it'll collapse when the wind blows."
"Let's do it tomorrow. It's too late today. I'll move in early tomorrow morning." Without Old Mrs. Chen to make trouble, she also wanted to move out of the shabby house as soon as possible.
The house was very cold in the winter and very hot in the summer. The cracks in the wall were huge and the northwest wind blew into the house. She was too lazy to clean it up because she knew it would be a waste if she didn't live there for long.
Chen Shengli looked at the little girl walking away. This child has been steady since she was young. Although she is young, she is very thoughtful. This child does not need anyone else's help to make decisions. She can plan her future by herself.
Chen Ye walked slowly towards the old house. When she was almost at the door, she saw two people standing at her door, as if waiting for her.
Chen Ye...
Chen Lao Er is really something? I don’t even know what to say to him, why is he so impatient?
Chen Ye didn't even pause. The two people at the door were delighted when they saw Chen Ye coming back: "You are Comrade Chen Ye who lives here, right?"
Chen Ye nodded and opened the door: "Come in and talk." She had never seen these two people before, but they looked like educated youth from the village.
There were two people, a man and a woman. Judging from their appearance, they were not brother and sister. They were wearing white shirts and green military uniforms, and there was not a single patch on their jackets. They should come from a well-off family.
Their skin looks quite fair. They should be newly arrived educated youth. The last batch came during the autumn harvest last year.
After an autumn harvest, the guy became darker and looked no different from the villagers, but he didn't have such fair skin.
Chen Ye pointed to the small stools scattered on the ground and said, "You guys can sit anywhere." She also pulled a small stool and sat down.
A man and a woman looked at each other, pulled over a small stool, and carefully checked whether there was any dust on it before sitting down carefully. Chen Ye saw this and secretly curled his lips. What are you so particular about? I wonder if you are still so particular after the spring plowing.
Chen Ye didn't speak first. Since these two people were looking for her, shouldn't they tell her the purpose of looking for her first?
Because Chen Ye was a girl, the girl started talking to Chen Ye: "Hello, my name is Zhou Peipei, his name is Xu Boxue, we are both educated youth from Hai City."
Chen Ye nodded to indicate that he understood, meaning, "And then, you continue."
Zhou Peipei didn't notice the envy in Chen Ye's eyes and was a little unhappy. The educated youth from big cities had a natural sense of superiority, as if they were high above and superior people. They, the rural people, should look at them with envy and jealousy, only then would they be happy.
"We arrived at our Fengshou Brigade five days ago. As you know, there are too many educated youths at the educated youth camp, so the living quarters are very crowded."
Chen Ye shook his head: "I don't know, I've never been to a youth training camp."
Zhou Peipei choked, her expression becoming even more unhappy. "Then I'll be frank. Comrade Chen Ersheng sold this house to us this morning. We came here to ask when you'll sell it to us."
Fengshou Village is a big village, so naturally there are many people and there are really no empty houses. The two of them couldn't stand the environment in the educated youth center when they came here, so they wanted to move out and live on their own, but they couldn't find a suitable house.
I happened to be out for a stroll today and heard some villagers gossiping. They said that the two old people in this family had passed away, leaving only a little girl. However, they estimated that the little girl would be driven out by her own uncle, so this house happened to be vacant.
Although it's a bit unpleasant that someone died in this house, it's better than living together with so many other people. She has a lot of valuable things, and she doesn't want any of them to be lost if she's not careful.
Besides, the more people there are, the more trouble there will be. They have already had several arguments with others in the past few days.
