Feng Baoguo agreed with Zhang Tingting's idea. Besides, even if the door was locked at night, it wouldn't be a big problem to just get up early in the morning and open it.
However, as the person in charge of the educated youth settlement, he still needed to listen to other opinions before making a decision.
So he spoke again, saying, "I think Zhang Zhiqing's opinion is very good. Do you all have any other opinions?"
The educated youth settlement already had a lock on the main gate, so all they had to do was nail a door latch on the inside of the gate.
Naturally, no one objects to something that requires neither money nor effort.
Although Yang Wanqiu was unhappy, she wisely kept quiet.
She did want to say that it was inappropriate for an outsider like He Chaoyang to live in the educated youth settlement, but she had just suffered a loss at Chen Shuning's hands, so she only thought about it and didn't dare to say it out loud.
She wanted someone else to bring it up, but unfortunately, Chen Shuning was usually good at handling people.
Occasionally, they would cook something delicious and send some to the old house. Besides, the two of them are now boyfriend and girlfriend, so naturally no one would bring up He Chaoyang.
Seeing that no one objected, Feng Baoguo continued, "Since no one objects, then it's settled. The door will be locked at seven o'clock every night and opened at seven o'clock in the morning. If anyone has any special circumstances, come and find me."
That's enough about the gate for now. There's one more thing: the matter of how to deal with Zhao Qianjin.
I heard from the brigade leader that as long as the Zhang family doesn't pursue the matter, the brigade doesn't plan to report it. If it is reported, Zhao Qianjin and Widow Zhang will probably both be sent to the farm for labor reform.
After all, if this matter were reported, it could very well affect the brigade's selection as an outstanding brigade this year.
Newcomers may not know this, but the veteran educated youth all know that if our brigade is rated as an outstanding brigade, it will benefit each and every one of us.
Last year, our brigade was recognized as an outstanding brigade, so we earned one more cent per work point than other brigade.
So this concerns everyone's interests. The brigade leader means that we all should keep our mouths shut and not talk about this outside. Do you all understand?
Apart from Yang Wanqiu and Zhao Qianjin having a slight emotional entanglement, everyone present had no grudges against each other, and no one would do anything that would harm others without benefiting themselves.
You should know that although one work point is only worth one cent, people like Feng Baoguo who are used to doing farm work can earn up to ten work points a day.
This way, you can earn an extra 10 cents a day, which adds up to 36.5 yuan a year. Plus, during the busy farming season, you can earn more than 10 work points a day, so there's nothing to say about it, and everyone agrees.
There wasn't much else to say, so Feng Baoguo made some polite remarks and then adjourned the meeting.
He Chaoyang had been keeping an eye on the situation outside, and when he heard voices coming from the backyard, he hurriedly came out.
Seeing that people were indeed returning from the backyard one after another, he hurriedly walked to the front yard.
It's almost ten o'clock now. The little girl is already injured, and if she doesn't rest properly, how will she heal?
At this time, He Chaoyang didn't know that his little girl wouldn't go to sleep until 11 o'clock every day. Of course, when He Chaoyang found out later, there was nothing he could do but stay with her.
The next morning, Chen Shuning, who was already used to waking up early, opened her eyes promptly before six o'clock.
In the past, she would have stayed in her warm bed for a while, put on her headphones and watched TV for a bit before getting up.
However, she had to get up to make breakfast for He Chaoyang today, so she didn't linger in bed and got dressed immediately.
After lighting the fire, I first threw the pork ribs, yams, and other ingredients into the pot, added water to make soup, then put the steamed buns that I had prepared in my space last night on top of the soup pot to steam, and then started frying the meatballs.
After frying the meatballs, Chen Shuning thought for a moment, then mixed a bowl of vegetarian filling, fried a bowl of vegetarian meatballs, and washed a few sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces, and fried them.
I packed some vegetarian meatballs and fried sweet potatoes and went to the front yard. At this time, apart from a few people in the back yard who usually stayed in bed, most people were up.
So Chen Shuning limped to the old house in the front yard first, and before he even entered the house, he saw Feng Baoguo chopping wood at the door of the old house.
Seeing that Feng Baoguo had already chopped quite a lot of firewood at his feet, Chen Shuning greeted him with a smile: "Brother Feng, you're really hardworking. You've chopped so much firewood so early in the morning?"
Hearing Chen Shuning praise him, Feng Baoguo was also happy. He quickly stopped chopping wood, afraid that some wood chips might fly at Chen Shuning.
He said with a smile, "I'm not early at all. Comrade He is much earlier. He went into the mountains with a machete as soon as I opened the gate this morning."
As soon as Feng Baoguo said this, Chen Shuning's expression changed immediately. He muttered disapprovingly, "This guy is really something. He's still injured, and he's going into the mountains to chop firewood so early in the morning. Does he have a death wish?"
He Chaoyang has been there since yesterday, and there is no sign of any injury on his body. So, apart from Chen Shuning, no one in the educated youth settlement knows that he is injured.
Besides, the way he carried Chen Shuning around the front and back yards, who would have thought he was injured?
Upon hearing Chen Shuning's words, Feng Baoguo became anxious and hurriedly asked, "Comrade He is injured. How serious is it? Don't worry, Xiao Chen, I'll go to the mountains to look for him."
As Feng Baoguo was talking, he was about to go inside to get some clothes when He Chaoyang pulled two dead trees into the yard.
Seeing this, Feng Baoguo quickly stepped forward to help, while also complaining, "Comrade He, look at you, you're injured, why are you still going into the mountains? If Xiao Chen needs firewood, we'll help her haul it a couple of times."
