Chu Maoshen and Liu Ruolin also cleaned the house, but before they had time to pack their belongings, they were exhausted and didn't even want to move a finger. Seeing that Qiao Mo still had the energy to go swimming, they admired him but also felt envious, jealous and hateful.
Qiao Mo went back to the house to change her wet clothes and prepared to go to the river to wash them. Wu Daming came over with a few people, so she had to stop and call Chu Maoshen and the others out.
Wu Daming saw them standing on the veranda to greet him and felt a bit more favorable towards them. "This is Comrade Shao Lidong, the person in charge of the educated youth site. This is Comrade Changhe, the leader of our Dongshan Brigade. This is Comrade Wu Xinghua, the brigade accountant. These are Comrade Qiao Mo, Comrade Chu Maoshen, and Comrade Liu Ruoling, the educated youth who have come here."
"Hello, seniors. We are new here. Please take care of us." Chu Maoshen said politely and shook hands with them one by one with a hearty smile.
Qiao Mo followed suit, greeting them one by one, and said that he was young and ignorant and would need their guidance in the future.
Although Liu Ruoling was reluctant to deal with farmers, she had to follow the local customs when she arrived in the countryside. Besides, she couldn't offend the team leader and the accountant, so she had to force herself to greet them.
"Welcome to the Dongshan Brigade to participate in the construction. From now on, we are comrades in the same trench. If you need any help, please come to us. This is the food the brigade has advanced to you. You can eat it first." Zhang He's words were simple and clear.
Qiao Mo and others expressed their gratitude, saying that the brigade leaders had solved their urgent problems and that they would work hard in the future to produce more grain.
Seeing their sincerity, Zhang He became more polite. "This is what we should do. Since you've come to our brigade, you're part of it. According to the regulations, each of you can raise a poultry and be allocated two acres of private land. However, there's no existing private land, so we can only allocate a piece of wasteland behind the house. I believe that you are all hardworking comrades, and you will definitely be able to cultivate even this wasteland well."
"Thank you leaders for your thoughtful consideration. With our private plots, we won't have to worry about having vegetables in the future." When Chu Maoshen heard that they could only reclaim land to grow vegetables, his face froze, but he quickly concealed it.
Then everyone went to measure the land behind the educated youth site. The three plots of land, each of two mu, were measured quickly. Chu Maoshen and Liu Ruoling's land were next to each other, and Qiao Mo chose the land on the easternmost side.
After the work was done, Wu Changhe and Wu Jiaxing also said goodbye, only Wu Daming was still talking to Shao Lidong.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qiao Mo went to find Shao Lidong to ask the old educated youth how they ate.
"We come from different places and have different tastes, so we each share a home with our fellow villagers. The three of you are all from Donghai and have similar tastes, so you can share a home together." Shao Lidong was hinting to her that it was impossible to find an old educated youth to share a home with.
"Is that so? I won't bother you two and can cook for myself." Qiao Mo couldn't possibly get involved with the male and female protagonists, so it would be better for him to eat by himself.
"Brother Wu, I want to exchange some vegetables and vegetable seeds. Can I find a fellow villager in the village?" Qiao Mo didn't want to eat all the food, but the person he was most familiar with here was Wu Daming, so he had to ask him for help.
