"Thanks."
Xiang Nuan didn't refuse either. They were college classmates. The original owner had always had a crush on him, but he didn't seem to be that interested. However, they were still quite familiar with each other.
"Hold on tight, the road is not easy to walk on."
Yan Mancang gave some instructions and then left the commune, whipping his horse.
When the carriage got on the country road, Xiang Nuan felt like her lungs were about to be shaken out, and Yang Bin felt equally uncomfortable.
Just when the two were about to give up, the carriage finally stopped in front of an adobe house.
Yan Mancang jumped out of the car and introduced the two people, "We are here. This is our brigade headquarters. You two are the first group of educated youth to work in our brigade. The conditions in the brigade are limited, and there is no place for you to live in for the time being. More people will come in the next few days. When the number of people is almost enough, the team will find a way to get a few houses for you to use as dormitories.
Xiang Zhiqing, please live in my house for the time being. Besides my wife and I, there is only my five-year-old daughter in my house, and there is an empty room.
Yang Zhiqing, you can live at Accountant Zhang's house. There are not many people in their family, only two sons, so it will be convenient for you to live there."
Yan Mancang made careful arrangements, trying to make their stay as comfortable as possible, so the two naturally had no objections.
Just as he finished speaking, a short bald middle-aged man walked in from outside. He had a serious face and did not look as kind as Yan Mancang.
Yan Mancang saw him and shouted, "Old Zhang, these two are the new educated youth, Xiang Nuan and Yang Bin. I have told them that educated youth Yang will live in your house first."
Zhang Qingshan nodded, and a smile appeared on his serious face as he approached. "Welcome, both of you. I am the accountant of our team, Zhang Qingshan."
"Hello, Accountant Zhang."
The two greeted each other politely.
"You just arrived. According to the requirements of the higher-ups, we will first allocate some rations to you. We will deduct them after the grain is distributed next year..."
Yan Mancang explained some more things and took Xiang Nuan home first.
The journey from the brigade headquarters to Yan's house took more than ten minutes, and Xiang Nuan found it very painful because she was surrounded by people and watched like a monkey in a zoo.
"Is this the educated youth from the city? She is indeed a city girl. Look at her little face, so white and tender, like a peeled egg."
"You're talking nonsense. People in the city don't have to work in the fields. How can they be like us?"
"Tsk, you said this girl has skinny arms and legs, she looks so boring, can she do the work? I don't know why the higher-ups sent them here, they are just causing trouble!"
"Shut up! If you could understand what the higher-ups mean, you could be an official!"
…
The villagers' chattering could be heard all along the way. When they were almost home, Yan Mancang smiled and explained, "Don't bother with them. They don't have any bad intentions. They are just curious."
Xiang Nuan smiled and nodded, indicating that she didn't care.
"My home is ahead. You must be tired after all the hard work. My wife should have prepared dinner. Let's eat and rest when we get home."
"Okay, thank you, Captain."
Yan Mancang pushed open the gate and shouted into the yard, "Xita's mother, there are guests!"
"Why!"
Soon the door was opened from the inside by a middle-aged woman with short hair.
