Xiao Yichen said, "Captain, of course we understand this."

"We can return to the city, and the house will of course belong to the brigade, but Captain, we built this house with our own money, and I won't allow anyone to live in it without our permission."

"The captain said. Don't worry about this. As long as you spend your own money to build the house without your consent, of course no one will live in it."

Xiao Yichen asked. "Captain, how do you calculate the wages for building a house? Also, I want to build a brick house. Do you sell bricks here?"

"The team leader said that when we build houses here, we ask people from the team to help. If you don't have food, it's 50 cents a day, and if you don't have food, it's 70 cents a day. As for that brick, we definitely don't have it in our village. We need a permit from the government to buy it."

"Tomorrow morning I will mark out a place for you. You can take a look and see if you like it. If you like it, we will start construction tomorrow."

"There must be Xiao Zhi in the county town. You have a way. You can go to the county town to take a look."

"Okay, Captain, I'll figure out the brick issue myself. So when can we start construction? We want to move out of the educated youth camp as soon as possible."

The team leader said, "After I finish the meeting tomorrow morning, anyone can start the work. There is a girl in our village who will also start building her own house tomorrow."

"You two are really destined to be together. You have already chosen a day. The girl just broke up with her parents and grandparents, so she built her own house."

When Xiao Yichen heard that there was a girl of this age in the village who had the courage to break off relations with her parents and grandmother, he wanted to know what kind of girl she was. This was completely different from knowing the girls in the village.

The captain said, "You just got a day off tomorrow, you know that, so you can prepare everything you need. You are not allowed to take leave every other day when you start working."

"You just arrived. Go to the accountant tomorrow morning to get your food. This is what the team has loaned you. You all know that you will have to pay it back from your union when the time comes."

Gu Beihuai said. "Captain, these old educated youth you mentioned have told us everything," Xiao Yichen asked, "Captain, can we go to the forest behind?"

The captain said, "Of course you can go to the forest behind, but big animals like wild boars and bears must be handed over to the team. As for pheasants and rabbits, you just keep them by yourselves and don't show them to others. Everyone will turn a blind eye. And you are definitely not allowed to go into the deep mountains, otherwise the team will be held responsible if something happens."

"Well, Captain, we know what you said, Xiao Yichen said. Captain, when we go to work, can you assign us some easier work? It doesn't matter if the work points are a little less, and you don't have to worry about us not having enough food to eat. If there is really not enough, we can buy it with our own money."

The captain measured the two men's clothes and knew that they must be male workers from the capital who came out to experience the world. Judging from their temperament and clothes, they were not short of money. The captain tapped his cigarette holder and said, "Okay, I'll find some easy work for you later."

Xiao Yichen said, "Then I'll trouble you, Captain. We won't disturb you from resting. Please accept these little things. The Captain said, take them back quickly. What are you going to do with them? It would be bad if others saw them."

Xiao Yichen said, "Don't worry, Captain. No one will watch us when we go out. We will even avoid the people at the educated youth center. No one will gossip about us."

The two of them left after they finished talking, without caring what expression the captain had when he looked at those things. The captain was indeed stunned. He didn't expect these kids in the city to be so generous when they spent money. These good things probably couldn't be bought in their town.

Good wine, cigarettes, milk candy, and brown sugar White Rabbit milk candy, this... this, it’s not because you have never seen the world, it’s just that these things are too good, like these things you usually can’t buy without tickets.

After everyone left, the captain's wife, Hu Guiqin, came out at this time. She looked at the things on the table and said with wide eyes, "Boss, these city kids are too generous."

"The captain said, 'You see, the clothes these two are wearing are just like rich noblemen from a painting. They don't look like they are working in the countryside. They are so handsome, and their skin is whiter than the girls in our village.'"

The captain said, "Looking at the way these people are dressed, plus they are so rich, I think our village will be in turmoil again. You know what kind of people there are in the village. Seeing that they are rich, they will probably try to take advantage of them and sell off their unpresentable daughters."

"Bah, boss, I'm not the one who is belittling the people in our village. They don't even know what kind of character they are. Are they worthy of the nobles from the city? Maybe they won't even look at them."

"Look at the new female educated youth, they are all wearing skirts and small leather shoes, and they are dressed up to look fancy. Their skin is white with rosy and smooth. They are nothing like the ones in our village whose skin is like charcoal, pockmarked, illiterate, and big and strong."

The captain said, "You, I'm just saying something, why are you so excited? Besides, can those people just covet the nobles from the city whenever they want?"

"I think you will end up losing more than you gain. You should be more sober and use the right lid for the right pot. Don't covet things that don't belong to you. With such good conditions, of course you should find someone who is a good match for you."

The captain said, "You have to keep an eye on our daughter. I won't allow her to be too ambitious. Besides, given our family's conditions, it would be a miracle if those educated youths in the city really like our daughter."

Hu Guiqin said, "Don't worry, I will definitely choose a good girl. Although I am illiterate and can't read a few words, I am still quite good at judging people. Some of those educated youth are just superficial and can't be trusted at all. If we really marry our girl to someone like that, wouldn't that be a disservice to her?"

"Yes. I'm glad you know. I was just reminding you because I was afraid you might get carried away. You want to find a good in-law for your daughter. Besides, are those high-ranking families in the city so easy to get into?"

"It's better to find someone who knows you well and is down-to-earth and hardworking. At least you don't have to worry about being abandoned one day. In the past, those educated youth married girls from the village and then just walked away. Such things have happened before."

"If something like that happens, how will that girl live?"
