Oh, by the way, isn't there an empty warehouse in the brigade headquarters?" Roger said excitedly, "It's the one where Su Zhiqing and his wife used to live. Why don't we go ask the brigade leader if he can rent it to us?"
"I asked the team leader a long time ago, and he said he could rent it to us, but we couldn't have a kang in that room." Xiang Guoqiang spread his hands helplessly, "The temperature here is minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius in the winter. If there is no kang, we will freeze to death."
After hearing this, Roger let out a long sigh.
Their family conditions are pretty good and they both have their own rooms at home.
It’s really hard to get used to living with so many people now.
They don't mind doing heavy work, and grown men are not afraid of exerting strength.
But it is really difficult to change the living habits formed since childhood in a short period of time.
The two men ate biscuits and went to the brigade headquarters. They had to go to the warehouse to get tools first, and then go to the fields.
Puppy Egg was skipping towards this side with the two boys.
When they saw Xiang Guoqiang and Luo Jie, they greeted them with a smile, "Xiang Zhiqing, Luo Zhiqing, are you going to work?"
The two smiled and nodded, then asked Guoqiang, "Goudan, where are you going? You can't go up the mountain, it's dangerous."
Goudan felt a little unhappy when he heard him calling him by his nickname.
But thinking about the snacks he had been given, he said politely, "Xiang, we are not going up the mountain. We are going to play with Chenchen. Our family knows about it."
Luo Jie asked him, "Goudan, is Chenchen's home at the foot of the mountain?"
They had never been up the mountain before and only remembered that there were one or two families living at the foot of the mountain. They were afraid that the two children would run around, so they asked one more question.
Xiao Gou Dan smiled and nodded, "Yes, Chen Chen is the child of my Uncle Han. We have a very good relationship and are good buddies now."
"Okay, go play."
Watching the three children running towards the foot of the mountain, Xiang Jianguo and Roger went to the brigade headquarters.
When they were getting the tools, they happened to meet Goudan's grandfather Han Youlai.
Xiang Jianguo asked with a smile: "Uncle Han, I just ran into your little dog Dan. He and his two children went to the foot of the mountain. Did you know?"
"I know. He told his family when he left." Han Youlai said with a smile.
Then he asked them, "Xiang Zhiqing, Luo Zhiqing, where are you assigned to work today?"
Xiang Guoqiang said, "Uncle Han, the captain asked us to go to the south to pick corn."
"That's great. Let's go together. I'm also working in the South today." Han Youlai had a good impression of Xiang Guoqiang and Roger.
I heard from my dad some time ago that the two educated youth were very polite and gave him and Goudan snacks, and asked them to look after them while the family was working.
On the way to the field, Han Youlai asked them if they were used to being here.
Xiang Guoqiang and Roger sighed and told them about their accommodation problems.
"Uncle Han, we are not afraid of hardship, but there are too many people in the Youth League House. We don't get enough rest at night, and there are many conflicts among us. This morning, the two female Youth League members who cooked got into a fight again. They didn't even get to eat, and the bowls were smashed."
Han Youlai felt that these young people were just bored, but he couldn't interfere in other people's affairs.
He just smiled and said, "It's not easy for you kids. You've come all the way here to join the production team, but the conditions in the countryside are like this. I'm sorry you've been wronged."
"Uncle Han, this place is pretty good. The villagers are friendly and the team leader is fair. We are lucky to be able to join the team here."
Xiang Guoqiang complimented the man first, then said helplessly: "It's just that I have been a light sleeper since I was a child. I want to rent a house and move out to live alone, but I haven't found a suitable one after looking around."
Han Youlai liked these two young people very much. When he heard that they wanted to rent a house, he immediately asked enthusiastically.
"What kind of house do you want to rent? I know everyone in this village. If you trust me, I'll go ask for you after work."
The two men's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Xiang Guoqiang immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Han, your family has taken good care of me and Luo Jie since we came here, so of course we trust you."
He thought for a moment and said, "As for the house, we want to find a quiet place. It doesn't matter if it's a little smaller, but it's best if it has its own door and yard."
"Oh, a private house with its own yard? That's hard to find." Han Youlai was embarrassed when he heard it.
He thought the two just wanted to rent a house, so he wanted to find a family in the village with good character and simple living conditions and make room for them.
Who would have thought that they had such high requirements. Not only did they want a private door and yard, but it also had to be quiet. There was no such house in the entire brigade.
Although Xiang Guoqiang and Luo Jiezao were a little disappointed, they still smiled and said, "Uncle Han, it's okay. If we can't find a suitable one, forget it. We can just live in the Youth Educated House. We should be able to get used to it after a while."
Han Youlai was about to nod when he suddenly thought of something. He happily said to the two of them:
“I remember there was a dilapidated adobe house at the foot of the mountain. When Zhenyu was repairing the house last time, he cleaned up the roof.
Go ask the team leader if you can rent that house. Then you can buy a door and build a kang. It's better than renting a house in the village. Besides, there are only two families living there, so it's quiet."
The two looked at each other and asked excitedly, "Uncle Han, which foot of the mountain are you talking about?"
"It's a little past your Youth League Home. Aren't there two families there? There's an adobe house not far from them. You can go take a look first. If you think it's suitable, then go find the team leader."
Han Youlai thought about it and reminded the two, "It's very close to the mountain over there. If you decide to live there, I'm afraid you'll have to build a higher wall."
