The next day, there was a big event in the team and the whole team needed to be gathered together to discuss it.
That is the question of where the newly arrived educated youth will live.
In the past two days, they had been sleeping in a bed with two other educated youth. The male educated youth lived in a large bunk bed, which was a former warehouse that had been renovated. The situation for the female educated youth was better, as each person had a separate bed, but it was still very crowded. In addition, the female educated youth had a lot of things to do, so there was no room for beds in the room.
We have to wait until after the autumn harvest to build the dormitories, which is still a few months away. We can’t keep crowding like this.
The team leader and the secretary decided to let the family with an empty house in the team receive one person first, which is what the team next door did.
But there are not many vacant rooms in this house. Many brothers have to squeeze into one room after getting married, and they pull a curtain in the middle to separate them. Whoever wants to do that at night, the other couple will go out and wait until the one inside is done before coming in.
Seeing that all the families were worried, the secretary did some ideological work on them one by one. Finally, he said that whichever family took the initiative to receive the guests would be subsidized with a few kilograms of food coupons by the team every month.
Now some people were tempted and started to think that the plan was not cost-effective. The educated youth would live in his own home and eat with the rest of the family.
Lin Miaoyin wanted to take the initiative to bring the female educated youth who liked Meng Yuanzheng to live with her. The two of them would see each other every day and would definitely spark love. Then she could get a divorce smoothly, Meng Yuanzheng wouldn't have to interfere in the relationship between the male and female protagonists, and the female educated youth wouldn't have to turn evil. Everyone would be happy.
But when she told Meng Yuanzheng that her home was also planning to host an educated youth, Meng Yuanzheng looked at her strangely.
"You really intend to do that?"
"Why are you looking at me like that? The educated youth are responding to the country's call to support socialist construction. It is our responsibility to ensure their living standards. Besides, my father is the team leader, and I also support my father's work." Lin Miaoyin said with a smile.
"No." Meng Yuanzheng turned his head away with a cold expression.
"Um?"
"I don't agree."
Lin Miaoyin was about to ask why, but suddenly she saw a woman walking towards her. It was Zhu Wanqin.
"Sister Miaoyin, Brother Meng." Zhu Wanqin said with a smile.
Lin Miaoyin stopped and glanced at Meng Yuanzheng, "Your sister?"
Meng Yuanzheng gave her a puzzled look in return.
"Otherwise why would I call you Brother Meng? It's so affectionate. I thought you became brother and sister when I didn't know." She curled her lips.
Isn't that what the folk song says? Sister, you sit on the bow of the boat, and I, your brother, walk on the shore, and we love each other so much - what a leisurely thing.
Meng Yuanzheng didn't even look at Zhu Wanqin twice, and he only remembered her appearance by a 50% or 60% margin. He didn't know when he became very familiar with her.
Now everyone could hear Lin Miaoyin's hostility. Zhu Wanqin's face was a little stiff. Her soft eyes moved around Lin Miaoyin and Meng Yuanzheng's faces and asked carefully: "What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"
Lin Miaoyin...
"No, we have a good relationship, how could we quarrel." She said with a fake smile, "Go in quickly, they are arranging your accommodation. If you go too late, you can only stay in the worse ones."
"I was just listening. By the way, I heard that you have an empty house. Can I live in your house..." Zhu Wanqin asked shyly, and stroked her braids with her hand. She looked innocent and seemed to really expect Lin Miaoyin to agree.
The original work also mentioned the allocation of accommodation for the educated youth. At that time, Lin Miaoyin's family did not come to live with the educated youth.
Seeing Lin Miaoyin hesitate, Zhu Wanqin said, "I brought food coupons and meat coupons. If it's not enough, my family will send me some. I won't eat for free."
Before Lin Miaoyin could speak, Meng Yuanzheng next to her said, "Our house leaks and there are often snakes. We can't live there."
Zhu Wanqin's face turned pale.
Lin Miaoyin said quickly, "Yes, yes, we killed a snake that crawled onto the bed the day before yesterday. It was poisonous."
"Ah?" Zhu Wanqin froze.
"The feng shui of our place is bad. It attracts snakes, insects, rats and ants. You'd better not come and live here." Lin Miaoyin said in a sincere tone.
At this time, a female voice interrupted, "Wanqin, have you found your fellow villager's home?"
A woman dressed like Zhu Wanqin came over and extended her hand in a friendly manner, "Hello, I'm Xu Liwen, and I'm from Shanghai like Wanqin."
Lin Miaoyin stretched out her hand to shake hers while thinking, isn't this the female educated youth who came to live in her house that she wanted to seduce?
"Hello, my name is Lin Miaoyin, his name is Meng Yuanzheng, welcome to the Niutouwan Brigade."
Lin Miaoyin let go of her hand, and Meng Yuanzheng also shook hands with Xu Liwen. Both sides maintained a very friendly and normal attitude, and no one looked at each other twice.
This is interesting, because in the original work, the four of them formed a huge love triangle.
She and Xu Liwen like Meng Yuanzheng, Meng Yuanzheng likes Zhu Wanqin, and Zhu Wanqin likes the male lead, wow~
"Wanqin, what's wrong with you? You look a little unhappy." Xu Liwen asked.
"It's okay. Maybe the sun is a little too strong. Have you solved your accommodation problem?"
"I have found a fellow villager. He looks honest. His family is helping me move my luggage. It's right over there." Xu Liwen pointed to the roadside, where a young man was carrying a suitcase and a net bag containing washbasins and other things, an aunt was holding a bedding roll, and a child was carrying a large canvas bag.
Lin Miaoyin was speechless. Looking at the attitude of this family, it was obvious that they just wanted to please Xu Liwen. Getting her food coupons was just a small thing. The real purpose was probably to find a city wife for their son. But Xu Liwen didn't understand and really thought that they were hospitable.
This family was the one where Xu Liwen lived in the original novel. Naturally, their plan failed.
Now the plan to invite Xu Liwen to live with him has completely failed.
"Okay, then you can follow me. Just call me if you need help." Zhu Wanqin patted Xu Liwen's hand and said.
Xu Liwen left happily. Lin Miaoyin said, "Go in and take a look. There won't be any places left."
"Hmm..." Zhu Wanqin was a little absent-minded.
"Come on, come on, I'll take you there."
She was willing to do anything to keep Zhu Wanqin away from Meng Yuanzheng.
Actively pulling the other party into the crowd, Secretary Li saw them coming and said while busy registering, "Zhu Zhiqing, where did you go just now? Why don't you see me? There is only one family left now. If you have no objection, you can book it."
Zhu Wanqin's eyes fell on the name of the householder in the book and she remained silent. Lin Miaoyin asked for her, "Secretary Bai Bai, which family is this?"
"It's the Jin family." Secretary Li said.
The Jin family is the male protagonist's family. It seems that the trajectory of fate still follows the original work.
Lin Miaoyin suppressed her inner joy and said, "The Jin family is great, they are nice people, and their house is quite big."
The secretary nodded. "Yes, if you have no objection, then it's settled."
After he registered, he called a young man and a little girl who were not far away to come over.
"Jin family boy, come and help Zhu Zhiqing carry his luggage."
The author has something to say: I admit that the heroine is a bit bitchy, covering her face. Of course, she is also very conflicted at this time, but things will get better later. Please look forward to the hero's efforts.
