So when you're at work, you all need to work hard. Our Qingshan Brigade doesn't tolerate idlers. Being late, leaving early, or slacking off will all result in a deduction of work points.
Of course, if you don't have enough food, you can buy it. If any of you feel that you are not eating enough or that your family can provide subsidies, and you don't want to work hard, I won't force you.
But when the grain is distributed at the end of the year, don't come crying to me if you don't have enough to eat.
If you have any other questions, you can ask Comrades Feng Baoguo and Liu Shumei. They are the persons in charge of your educated youth settlement. You can contact them if you need anything.
After Shen Baogen finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Meng Xiaohui and Sui Yuanchao to follow him.
Unexpectedly, all the newly arrived educated youths followed in a flurry, leaving the old man bewildered. He was about to ask them if they had anything else to say.
Then Li Anbang, who had been the most talkative person on the journey, spoke up.
"Uncle Captain, it's like this, we don't need to pack our luggage yet, we'll be going to the brigade headquarters to get our food soon anyway."
Rather than having to go to the brigade headquarters with you halfway through packing, it's better to wait until we've received our rations and then pack everything together.
We're quite curious about what the single rooms are like, so we'd like to come with you to take a look. We're not sure if that's alright?
Shen Baogen had originally thought that if there were many people renting single rooms, he would consider building a few more.
Given the current situation, the number of educated youth coming to the countryside is only increasing, while very few are returning, so the houses still need to be built.
The houses had to be built anyway, and building single rooms was obviously more cost-effective than building large communal sleeping areas, since single rooms could generate income for the village.
So when he heard that everyone wanted to see the single rooms, he didn't stop them, but instead happily led them to the backyard.
As the old man had predicted, those few who were initially hesitant about renting single rooms in the car were finally appeased.
Seeing the single rooms in the backyard, which were clearly much better than the dormitory-style rooms, I regretted not being able to snag a single room.
Especially after the brigade leader took them to see Gu Xinyi's room, several people immediately surrounded Shen Baogen, asking if the village could build a few more single rooms, as they all wanted to rent them.
At this moment, the old man said somewhat hesitantly, "Building a house is no small matter. I can't make the decision on my own. Let's convene a meeting with the other cadres to discuss it when we have time."
The educated youths were disappointed by this answer and followed Shen Baogen to the brigade headquarters to collect their grain, looking dejected.
As each person looked at the small bag of food in their hand, their fear and discomfort in the unfamiliar environment were amplified.
The numb old educated youth and the bewildered new educated youth were all present. On this night when the new educated youth arrived, which should have been lively, the entire educated youth compound was unusually quiet.
