Chapter 166 70 Educated Youth Going to the Countryside 9

Everyone was doing whatever they were supposed to do the next day. Huang Qiuju saw that Cheng Youning was still a little embarrassed and had a bad look on her face, as if she was going to rush to argue if someone said something to her.

Unfortunately, everyone ignored her and went to work after breakfast.

Today it was Su Yan's turn to cook. Usually the original owner would give Liu Mengru some pastries and ask her to help cook them together.

Su Yan had no such idea. Making breakfast was very simple.

Cook the sweet potato porridge, grab a plate of pickles, and mix a cucumber, and that's it.

Liu Mengru didn't wait until Su Yan asked her for help, and she was still a little unhappy.

She had already thought about it. If Su Yan asked her to help this time, she would definitely ask for more benefits, but she didn't know that she wasn't called at all.

When eating breakfast, she deliberately found fault and said: "Yesterday I got up late and steamed steamed buns. Why are there not even steamed buns this morning?"

Su Yan said innocently: "There is not enough flour to make steamed buns. If everyone wants to eat steamed buns, I suggest that each of us raise some money to buy some flour."

Lin Li went to the kitchen to take a look and found that there was indeed not much left. She said, "How about we chip in another five cents each and someone can go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some flour."

Liu Mengru was the first to refuse. She would collect 10 yuan today and 50 yuan tomorrow. How could she have so much money? The total money she brought from home was only 10 yuan. Now she has spent 15 yuan. She still has to save money. By the end of the year, I don’t know how much work points will count.

If you don’t have money, you won’t be able to afford anything you want to buy.

"Is it necessary for each person to chip in so much as fifty cents? Flour is more expensive than eggs?"

"Four is consumed quickly, so it's better to just buy one or two kilograms at a time."

Other educated youths don't have any objections. They eat steamed buns almost every day here, and flour is an indispensable item.

Liu Mengru's objection alone is ineffective, unless she doesn't want to eat, then she doesn't have to chip in.

Everyone raised another five cents, and everyone refused to decide who would buy it.

The current farm work is not heavy, no one wants to ask for leave, and no one wants to lose half a day's work points.

Huang Qiuju was about to say let Su Yan go. Anyway, she only had two work points in the morning. She had few work points, so it didn't matter if she was delayed for half a day.

When Su Yan saw Huang Qiuju looking at her, he knew what she was planning. Before she could say anything, he said directly: "I've made an appointment with someone to cut pigweed together. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she left, not bothering to care who they asked to buy it in the end. At worst, she could wait until the next holiday to buy it, and it didn't have to be done today.

Su Yan was cutting pig grass with Lin Xi and others, and heard Lin Xi and others say that Lu Shengli was back.

"Who is Brother Shengli?" Su Yan asked pretending to be curious.

Several children explained to her in a flurry: "Brother Shengli is the son of our brigade captain. He is a soldier and has now retired."

"Brother Shengli is amazing. He used to be the most powerful person in our village. He caught the most prey when hunting in the mountains in winter."

"My grandma told me that Brother Shengli gets paid every month and is a national breadwinner. Whoever marries him in the future will enjoy the blessings."

"My grandma also said that she still wants to marry my sister-in-law to him."

"My mother said that Brother Shengli is the most handsome boy in our village."

"Me too, me too..."

Su Yan listened to them imitating adults and talking about their family's views on Lu Shengli, thinking to himself that he was indeed a man that Cheng Youning could like.

If he is not good enough, I believe Cheng Youning will not compromise.

Lu Shengli is back, so it shouldn't be far from Cheng Youning falling into the water.

Su Yan asked them again who were in the village, and asked them how many families there were and how many houses there were.

After listening around, she found that no one who met her conditions seemed to be able to take her in.

After handing in the task, Su Yan went to Aunt Wang's house and bought ten eggs, and then took the eggs to the village chief's house.

"Uncle Village Chief, are you at home?"

The village chief's wife saw her coming and quickly greeted her to come in.

Su Yan handed over the egg in his hand: "Auntie, is the village chief uncle here?"

"Su Zhiqing is so polite. You can come as soon as you come. Why should I give you a gift?"

"That's right. The village chief has always taken good care of me. I should have come to thank him long ago."

"Is there something wrong with Su Zhiqing? Your uncle, the village chief, is probably in the fields. If you are in a hurry, I will ask Xiaoman to call someone for you."

Su Yan declined the offer to the village chief's wife, and she felt relieved when she saw that the other party accepted the eggs.

"It's not too urgent. You can just tell your aunt about this first."

"What's going on?"

"It's like this. We educated youths live in a house with five or six people. It's too crowded. I'm wondering if you can grant me a piece of foundation and build two houses to live in. Of course, if I leave our village in the future, this house will definitely be It belongs to the village.”

"Of course you can, but the money to repair the house is not cheap. Are you really willing to pay for the repairs yourself?"

"Yes, why don't you want to?"

"Okay, I'll leave this to Auntie. I'll tell your uncle when he comes back."

"Okay, thank you aunt first."

Su Yan left the village chief's house feeling much happier.

When Su Yan went to work the next day, the village chief called her aside.

The village chief once again confirmed whether she was really willing to pay to build a house and live in it. Su Yan nodded affirmatively.

The village chief didn't hesitate and told her directly the cost of repairing the house.

Also asked where she planned to choose the foundation?

Su Yan had visited the entire village before, and she felt that she should choose a place that was far away from the crowd, but not too remote.

After much deliberation, she decided that the cowshed was less crowded, so she chose a location not too far from the cowshed.

The village chief still felt that it was a bit remote there, and hoped that she would reconsider. A single woman living so far away would be prone to accidents.

The village chief meant well. After Su Yan broke a wooden stick as thick as an arm with his bare hands with a smile, the village chief did not persuade her again.

Besides, there are still a few people living in the cowshed. If anything happens, just shout and the people in the cowshed can hear you.

The village chief is a sensible person and knows that although these people are sent to labor camps, they are really capable people. The villagers avoid these people. It is enough that the little girl from the city is not afraid of them.

"I didn't expect you, a little girl, to be so strong. I told you that you chose this foundation yourself, so you can't regret it."

"I don't regret it. Uncle village chief, can you not tell anyone that the house was built for me? I'm afraid others will be jealous."

"Of course. I'll repair your house just in time before the busy farming season."

"That's a good relationship. Here is fifty yuan. If it's not enough, you ask me again. How much does the brother who comes to help earn per day? You can figure it out, but I don't understand."

"Fifty yuan is only a lot more. Don't worry if you leave it to me. I guarantee that I will get it straight for you."
