Chapter 16 Educated Youth of the 7s 16
The captain reluctantly took the big bag from Xu Wenjie's hand, and the group came next door to the village chief's house.
The courtyard wall is made of stones and bricks, and is separated from the village chief's house by a wall. When you enter the door, you can see that the floor is paved with stones and cement, which is clean and tidy. In the middle is a place for eating and entertaining guests. There are two rooms on the left and right. The kitchen is a separate room on the left side of the yard. There is also a shed next to it to store firewood. The toilet is built in the backyard.
Yuan Xi chose the room near the kitchen. He Liang was next to him, and the Xu family brothers and sisters were on the other side.
The house was clean and cleaned. As soon as Yuan Xi put his luggage away, he suddenly didn't know what to do. It seemed that he didn't need to pack it at all.
Yes, the village chief's house must have been cleaned up.
Just as the village chief came in, Yuan Xi opened the box and took out the gift Grandpa Wang had given him, an envelope.
"After all these nonsense, it's not like that old boy doesn't know that I'm illiterate. Yuan Xi, please read it and see what Old Man Wang wants to say to me."
The village chief said he was disgusted, but the smile never stopped on his face.
"Grandpa Zhou, there is no letter in it. Grandpa Wang said that you must be impatient to read the letter, so he asked me to bring a message asking you when you are free to go to the capital and watch the flag raising together."
Yuan Xi looked at the arrogant little old man, his eyes turned red after hearing this, and opened the envelope with a little trembling hand. Inside was a photo of Uncle Wang's family.
"I knew he was playing tricks on me."
The village chief muttered, looking at each photo carefully.
He cried, but I still pretended not to see him. The old man also wanted to save face.
Yuan Xi turned around and pretended to pack his luggage.
"Dad, why are you crying?"
The captain walked in with a large package (sent by the Chen family in advance) in both hands.
Yuan Xi paused and looked at the captain with eyes full of indescribable feelings.
Don’t tell the truth when you see through it, understand?
The captain obviously didn't understand, so he even leaned over and said, "Dad, why are you crying like this after looking at these two photos?"
"Hey, this is Uncle Wang, he's quite energetic."
"Snapped."
After another big blow to the back of his head, the captain finally calmed down.
He cautiously glanced at his father, whose eyes were red.
Yuan Xi always felt that part of the reason was that he was angry.
There was silence in the room, and Yuan Xi took the initiative to take the package from the captain's hand, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
"Hey, it's all trivial. I'll help you."
The captain also felt a little guilty and tried to escape reality by being busy.
"Humph, you look like a bear." Looking at his son busying himself, the village chief said nothing more.
With the help of the brigade captain and village chief, it was done in about ten minutes.
Because he had to go to work in the afternoon, the village chief didn't stay too long. He explained some things and invited Yuan Xi and three others to have dinner at home. The father and son went to the village committee office together.
There are only four Yuan Xi left in this courtyard.
After everyone finished cleaning up, they gathered again in Yuan Xi's house.
"This house is much better than the educated youth spot, and it follows Zhan Yuanxi's light."
Xu Wenjie is not stupid. If it weren't for the village chief's relationship, he wouldn't have even thought about it. It's not like there aren't other empty houses in the village.
"There is nothing missing in the house. I just looked at the kitchen. It seems that it has not been used. There is a lot missing."
He Liang was more concerned about eating and drinking, and he also had a talent for cooking. After learning it a few times, he seemed to be decent. The few people on the train agreed that they would work together and He Liang would cook.
As soon as he finished cleaning the house, he went to the kitchen for a walk.
"Please count up what is missing. We will buy whatever is missing in the afternoon."
Yuan Xi is not very good at this aspect either. Professional matters are left to professionals. In this regard, he listens to He Liang.
Today is the first day. The newly arrived educated youth do not have to go to work. They still have one afternoon at their disposal and will officially start work tomorrow.
"Ah, then we have to walk for more than an hour. Why don't we buy a bicycle? It will be more convenient in the future."
Not only Xu Wenhui thought so, but no one present wanted to walk.
Yuan Xi didn't want to walk either. Riding a bike was so nice, and he had some ready-made ones in his space, so he could just take them out and use them. Then I thought about it, the bicycle still needs to be stamped at the Public Security Bureau. He took it out of thin air without a receipt. I don’t know if it will be stamped by then.
Not wanting to cause trouble for himself, he had tickets and money, so he went with the group and bought one together.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and it was obvious that they were all people with money and votes.
"I need to buy a pot, a kitchen knife, and seasonings for the kitchen. I also need to buy two water tanks... and finally there are grains." He Liang talked a lot.
If nothing else was said, it sounded very professional. The three novices in the kitchen did not dare to speak and listened quietly.
When He Liang finished speaking, Yuan Xi remembered the last thing about food without remembering anything else.
"New educated youths can borrow a certain share of grain from the village and pay it back with work points. Just now, the team leader said that if you want to borrow grain, you can go to the village committee to see him in the afternoon."
Yuan Xi did not want to borrow food, and he was not lacking in this. This policy was obviously for those educated youths whose families were not wealthy. Besides, rather than spending money to buy it, he was more worried about paying it back with work points. He had a clear understanding of himself that he might not be able to pay it back if he earned work points, so he might as well buy it directly from the villagers with money.
He is also rich now. Not counting other things, the cash he got from signing in alone is more than 100,000, and he can spend a lot of money on food.
He Liang and the others did not consider borrowing food from the village and shook their heads after hearing this.
"We can exchange some with the people in the village. If it's not enough, we can go to the black market in the county to buy some. Leave this to me, I'm familiar with it."
Xu Wenjie patted his chest and took over the matter.
"Okay, if you can exchange other things in the village, you can exchange them in the village. If you don't have them, go to the county supply and marketing cooperative."
He Liang made the decision.
"Gulu~"
Yuan Xi held her stomach a little embarrassed.
It’s been a long time since we gathered in the morning. It’s already past lunch time and I haven’t eaten much.
The sound seemed to turn on some switch.
"Gulu~Gulu"
"Gulu~"
One after another, the stomachs of several people began to growl.
Now no one was laughing at anyone, they all changed positions in a tacit understanding, took out the snacks and biscuits, put them on the table in the living room, and took a few bites together.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a knock on the door.
Xu Wenjie ran out to open the door with a piece of biscuit in his mouth, very positive.
The captain's wife held a basin with steaming dumplings in her left hand and a thermos bottle in her right hand.
"I am the captain's wife, you can call me Aunt Guihua."
"It turns out to be Aunt Guihua, come on, come on, please rest and let me get it."
Xu Wenjie's social skills were excellent. The few steps from the door to the living room made Aunt Guihua very happy.
"I know you haven't eaten yet, so I made dumplings today. I'll bring you some to try the dumplings made by my aunt. I'll keep these snacks and biscuits for later."
Of course it was impossible to put them away, and the dumplings could not be eaten for free, so they all stuffed snacks for Aunt Guihua.
"Auntie, the dumplings you make are so delicious."
"Yes, how is this stuffing made? It's so fragrant."
“It tastes better than the ones made in state-owned restaurants in Beijing.”
"..."
Give me a compliment and praise that the army is online.
