When the tractor arrived at the village, it was almost dark. The team leader Qin Dajiang was waiting at the village entrance.
"Welcome, comrades. I am the captain of the Tianba Brigade. It's getting dark and cold, so I won't waste any more time. Please pick up your luggage and follow me. I will take you to the educated youth camp. It's a bumpy ride in this cold weather, so it's better to settle down and rest early. As for the rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Zhou Shikang frowned. "Captain, what are the accommodation conditions like at the educated youth camp? I've never shared a room with anyone before, and I don't want to share a room with anyone now. I wonder if you can arrange for me to live in a room on my own?"
This made other people look at Zhou Shikang sideways, as if wondering where this rich young man came from?
The team leader said, "Comrade, the new educated youth, you have come all the way here and I believe you have some understanding of the conditions here. You have responded to the national policy to support rural construction, and we sincerely welcome you.
In order to welcome you, the members of our Tianba Brigade have shown absolute sincerity and spent time and effort to build a dormitory for you.
Many of our villagers' houses are on the verge of collapse, but we still pooled our strength to build the Youth Home.
I understand that it is not easy for you to leave your hometown, but please also understand our difficulties.
The current conditions cannot satisfy this comrade's wish to live in a single room."
Zhou Shikang glanced at the scenery that the Tianba Brigade could see, frowned and said, "I know your place is poor, and I don't ask you to provide the best food. I just simply want a separate and independent space. Captain, this request should not be difficult to meet, right?
As far as I know, every educated youth who went to the countryside received resettlement allowance.
Building a few mud houses like that shouldn't cost much, right?"
This remark successfully inflamed the good-tempered Qin Dajiang. "Comrade, are you saying that we village leaders secretly embezzled your resettlement fees?"
Zhou Shikang: "I didn't say that. I just said the resettlement fee was enough to build a few mud houses."
The team leader sneered and said, "I have heard of resettlement fees, but I have never seen them. If you don't believe it, you can go to the commune or the Youth League Office to ask in person.
By the way, it also answered the doubts in my mind: why has our village been accepting educated youth for several years, but we have never seen resettlement fees?
Also, the conditions in our village are such that it is impossible to live in a single room. If you don't want to live in a dormitory, you can find a way yourself.
