"Alright! Hurry up and return the money to Yi Zhiqing. For your safety, Yi Zhiqing voluntarily lived in that shabby house in the backyard and even paid for its repairs himself. Hurry up and return the money. If you don't have the money, I will give Yi Zhiqing the full share. The full share will be equal to the amount you owe."
Fang Qingshan said to Yi Xiaoqiu again, "Bring the account book here, and we'll resolve this matter today."
He is busier than anyone else every day, but when this happens, he can't just ignore it. He has to hurry up and solve it.
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded and turned to go into the house.
Alas, she was really unlucky before. Why didn’t she meet the captain to help her with this matter?
Yi Xiaoqiu thought about it again. Even if she had relied on the captain to get back the money she was owed, she would definitely not be able to protect him because of her unlucky, weak and vulnerable appearance.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have died so many times.
Captain Fang’s appearance now is just in time.
Fang Qingshan was from the army, and his temper calmed down a bit after he came here. After reading the account book that Yi Xiaoqiu took out, his face turned black as charcoal, and his anger rushed to his head.
A bar of soap, a needle and thread, some cloth, money, notes, and all sorts of other things were loaned out, all in new condition. The dates and reasons for the loans were clearly written in the account book.
These people borrow everything and never pay it back!
He suppressed his anger and pointed the account book at several people. Qian Donglai and the others were so scared that they shrank their necks.
"Do you acknowledge these accounts?"
Fang Qingshan had been on the battlefield and killed people, so when he got angry, most people couldn't stand it.
Several people nodded repeatedly like quails.
"Yes, we all admit..."
How come Yi Xiaoqiu even remembered to borrow needles and thread? This is too...
Several people vomited to death, shocked and scared.
"Just acknowledge it. I'll give the account book to the accountant. Once the money is settled, I'll give your money directly to Yi Zhiqing."
Several people were shocked again. With so much money divided into two parts, would there be any grain left to distribute at the end of the year?
But they didn't dare say it.
Yi Xiaoqiu also thought of this. If you push someone too hard, they might end up doing something desperate. "Captain, let's convert that money into cents. They probably won't get much food by the end of the year. How about asking them to pay back some of the money?"
Several people woke up as if from a dream and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we will pay you back. If it's not enough, we will deduct more points."
After that, several people hurried back to the house to get the money.
It is much more cost-effective to get food with cents than to buy it with money!
Qian Donglai paid back 20 yuan, Liu Xiaoping paid back 100 yuan, Gao Xiaowen paid back 78 yuan, and Guo Caifeng took 50 yuan.
Oh wow, they are all quite rich!
I asked them to pay back the money several times before, and they were always poor.
Alas! Yi Xiaoqiu died three times for this money, which had become a knot in her heart. This time, she finally got the money.
The four of them paid back more than two hundred and forty yuan, and less than half of the money and belongings were still left.
Yi Xiaoqiu curled her lips and said, "I knew that everyone is united and helping each other is a good spirit."
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't care how ugly their faces were. He turned around and looked at Fang Qingshan with gratitude. "Thank you for your help, Captain Fang. It's just that I will be living alone in that house from now on. I feel a little guilty. I decided to pay for it and claim it. I will never take advantage of our company!"
Fang Qingshan nodded. This kid had a high level of consciousness. "Okay, the house is old and shabby, so 15 yuan is enough. I'll also give you the five mu of wasteland behind it to use as a vegetable garden."
"Thank you, Captain Fang." Handing over 15 yuan, Yi Xiaoqiu smiled sweetly, and his thin, yellow and somewhat gloomy face suddenly became much more lively.
"Okay, I'll stamp it for you and call a few people to come and fix the house. You don't have to go to work today. Once the house is fixed, you can move in as soon as possible. This is also for your safety."
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded. This arrangement was absolutely perfect!
As soon as Captain Fang left, Qian Donglai and the others changed their expressions. They threw and hit the things in their hands, glared at her from time to time, venting their dissatisfaction.
As a result, when Qian Donglai turned around, seven or eight tall and strong men carrying tools walked into the educated youth site, and they immediately restrained themselves a lot.
"Yi Zhiqing, which house do you want to repair?"
Yi Xiaoqiu waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the backyard."
Qian Donglai clenched his fists and looked at the few people fiercely as they entered the backyard.
The expressions of Guo Caifeng and several other female educated youth were not much better.
Lin Dongyan sneered at the side, "Humph, you've already registered with the captain. You'd better restrain yourself from now on. The Youth League Office has news that a new batch of educated youth will be arriving at our Youth League site in a few days. Not all of them are as easy to bully as the educated youth in the past."
The small house in the backyard is not big, only about 20 square meters.
"Brother Gao, I have two ideas for this house. Build a wall two meters from the entrance to divide the house into two rooms, and shovel out the blackened dirt on the ground."
Gao Dazhuang and the others nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Yi Zhiqing, this house is small. We will make it beautiful in a day."
Yi Xiaoqiu smiled gratefully, "Thank you, brothers!"
Although the house repair only takes one day, Yi Xiaoqiu has to prepare lunch. Fortunately, there is a canteen, so she just needs to deliver the food to the canteen.
But there is not much food left, so we have to go to the Liu family next door to ask Sister Wang to exchange it.
Yi Xiaoqiu took this opportunity to exchange for more food and secretly send it to the cowshed.
As soon as she saw Ji Shu's physique, she knew that he ate a lot. Life in the cowshed was not easy, and she could definitely help him by sending him food.
Yi Xiaoqiu took the money and entered the Liu family yard.
Only Old Lady Liu and granddaughter Liu Xiaoqin were weaving straw mats in the yard; everyone else was asleep.
"Aunt Liu, you are busy. I want to exchange some food with you."
Aunt Liu stood up, clapped her hands, and pulled Yi Xiaoqiu into the house.
"What do you want to exchange? How much?"
"Do you have rice? I'll give you 30 jin (approximately 100 kg) of it. I'll also give you 30 jin (approximately 100 catties) of cornmeal and 30 jin (approximately 100 catties) of flour."
Aunt Liu's face was full of smiles, but she secretly thought that this girl didn't know how to live. "Rice is 30 cents a pound, cornmeal is 10 cents a pound, and white flour is 50 cents."
"Okay, I'll change it." Yi Xiaoqiu took out a stack of money and counted out 27 yuan.
"Auntie, I'll take some first and come back later for the rest."
Yi Xiaoqiu packed 20 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of cornmeal, and 20 kilograms of flour and headed towards the cowshed.
It was only morning and there were not many people hanging around in the company. Yi Xiaoqiu successfully arrived outside the cowshed with the food.
"Ji Shu!" She shouted from the bushes not far from the cowshed.
In the cowshed, Ji Shuyan had changed into clean clothes, packed his things, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone outside calling "Ji Shu". It took him a while to realize that they were calling him.
Ji Shuyan walked out of the cowshed and looked around before he saw a vague figure in the grass not far away.
He walked past and looked at the man hiding in the grass. "Are you kissing me?"
Yi Xiaoqiu looked up and saw a tall, handsome man with a righteous aura. Who was he? He didn't know him.
"I'm looking for Ji Shu."
Ji Shuyan coughed and said, "Ahem, I am Ji Shu." He was not in a position to reveal his real name, so he just told Yi Xiaoqiu a random name.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked at the person in front of him with suspicion. He had almond-shaped eyes that were slightly sharp, a high nose, and strong and stylish facial features. This face was undoubtedly the best.
Ji Shuyan wore a military green vest on his upper body and a pair of military green trousers on his lower body. He wore a leather belt around his slim waist, showing off his long legs. He looked lean and stylish, with an upright posture and a righteous demeanor.
Yi Xiaoqiu always thought that men wearing vests were vulgar and loser, but after seeing the man in front of her, she realized that she was narrow-minded. The man had a good figure and a good-looking face, and even if it was a loser vest, she could still wear it sexy and stylishly.
The man carrying the dung bucket just now was not a single person at all.
Even though he's handsome, he wants to cheat her out of her food, no way!
"Sorry, I haven't seen you and I don't know you." Yi Xiaoqiu shook his head and looked towards the cowshed again.
Ji Shuyan glanced at the grain bag behind her and laughed angrily.
Shouldn't he be happy that his disguise was so successful?
In the morning, he helped the teacher fetch water to flush the pigpen. He didn't want to be seen, so he disguised himself. Now, when people come to thank him, they don't even recognize him.
He touched his nose and whispered, "By the creek, jump into the water and commit suicide."
Yi Xiaoqiu's eyes suddenly opened wide.
He saw it.
"I... I was sleepwalking." Yi Xiaoqiu stuttered.
"Well, sleepwalking, what are you talking about?" Ji Shuyan nodded seriously.
Yi Xiaoqiu only now remembered that she had not told the other person's name.
"My name is Yi Xiaoqiu, an educated youth from the Seventh Company. Thank you for saving me." Yi Xiaoqiu subconsciously introduced himself and took out the food behind him and handed it to him.
Ji Shuyan looked at the food in front of him, and the thought in his mind popped up again, "Ahem... Thank you for accepting it, you don't have to take these food."
"This is just a little gift from me, please accept it! I think you should need it." With such a big body, he must be able to eat a lot at every meal!
Although Yi Xiaoqiu didn't understand why this person had changed so much before and after, he couldn't just ignore the grace of saving his life.
A trace of guilt flashed across Ji Shuyan's face. "Ahem... If you really want to thank me, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Yi Xiaoqiu's eyes lit up, "What's the matter?"
