Chapter 180 The Educated Female Youth of the Time 5
After spending some time together, Liu Dajun had already felt Chu Yuan's generosity, so he was not surprised that she wanted to rent a house.
There was a male educated youth in the village who came from a well-off family and also rented a house.
With this previous experience, Chu Yuan faced much less resistance in renting a house.
"Before, the landlord's house in the village had been empty. Later, a male educated youth couldn't stand the noise in the educated youth camp, so he paid to rent one of the houses. If you want to live there, you can rent the other one. Then we can just build a wall to separate the two of you."
"Okay, brother Dajun, please take me to have a look when you return to the village. If it's suitable, I will rent it."
At the time of speaking, five more educated youths had joined the tractor. They all carried a lot of things in large and small bags, and soon filled up the space in the truck bed.
Fortunately, Chu Yuan arrived early and sat in the seat closest to the inside.
After everyone was present, the tractor started up: "Everyone sit down, let's go to the post office to pick up the package."
When everyone heard that they would go to the post office, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from their clothing and appearance, they all looked well-off, and their families would have sent some luggage over.
Little did he know that Liu Dajun originally wanted to return to the village earlier, but when Chu Yuan said that he had a package at the post office and wanted to send a letter to his family to report his safety, he decided to take a detour.
There's nothing wrong in accepting someone's cigarettes and meat buns and giving her a favor.
After getting the package, the group went straight back to the village. The other people who were picked up in the car got off halfway, and only Chu Yuan was left until the end.
Baiyun Village.
The aunts and ladies at the entrance of the village were talking when they heard the rumbling sound of a tractor.
"Oh, the new educated youth have arrived, go and have a look."
The villagers didn't have much entertainment activities on weekdays, so the arrival of a new educated youth quickly attracted their attention.
It was also a coincidence that Chu Yuan came at an inopportune time. It was the time when every household had finished dinner and had nothing to do.
As the crowd watched, the tractor drove directly to the door of the landlord's house at the end of the village.
Chu Yuan looked at the large blue brick and tile house in front of him and felt very satisfied.
At this time, a nosy aunt began to ask: "Why don't these new educated youth go to the educated youth center?"
Someone nearby responded, "You forgot who lives in there now, Qiao Zhiqing. I guess this girl will live here too."
Liu Dajun dispersed the crowd gathered at the door and knocked on it: "Qiao Zhiqing, are you home?"
Qiao Xun had heard the noisy noise outside while he was in the house. When someone called his name, he hurried out to open the door: "Brother Dajun, what's going on?"
"Today a new educated youth came and wanted to rent a house here, so I brought her to have a look."
Qiao Xun glanced at Chu Yuan, looking a little embarrassed: "Brother Dajun, I'm afraid it's not a good idea to have a young intellectual living here."
"Why are you afraid? I can find someone to build a wall between the two of you tomorrow. It will only take a few steps."
After all, it was a house in the village, and Qiao Xun had no choice but to let the person in first.
As soon as Chu Yuan entered the door, she began to look around the layout inside. As expected of a landlord's house, the rooms were very bright. She immediately fell in love with the one on the far left, which seemed to be unoccupied.
Just as she thought, Qiao Xun lived in the room on the far right, and the remaining two rooms were empty.
Chu Yuan quickly decided that she wanted to live here. The rent of ten dollars a year was just a drop in the bucket for her.
It's a pity that the house hasn't been cleaned up yet and it's getting late today, so she can't live here for the time being.
So Chu Yuan still came to the educated youth site, where at least there was a bed where he could sleep for one night.
The old educated youth at the educated youth site were not welcoming to the newcomer. Only the person in charge, Zhang Qiang, came out to greet her, but he just gave her things and brought them into the house before leaving.
Looking at the empty space on the kang, Chu Yuan wiped it with a rag and took out a sleeping bag under the cover of the package.
She was just staying here temporarily, so there was no need to spread out the bedding.
The two female educated youth nearby saw this novel thing and couldn't help asking: "What is this you laid?"
Chu Yuan only said that this was made by her family and it was more convenient to spread it out when sleeping.
The two nodded. It was indeed very convenient. One of the female educated youths said a little embarrassedly: "Can I see how you do this?"
Chu Yuan nodded. Since she could take it out and use it, it meant that this thing would not have any flaws. Besides, it was just an ordinary sleeping bag and the manufacturing process was not complicated.
"Thank you. My name is Zhang Ya. What's your name?"
Once the conversation started, the communication among them became smooth and they all introduced their names.
Zhang Ya is an older sister among the educated youth. She has been here for 4 years.
Another female educated youth is called Xu Jiajia. She just came last year and seems to have a simple personality.
When they learned that Chu Yuan was only staying here temporarily, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the room was small to begin with, and it would be a bit crowded if another person lived here.
Without the competition for interests, the attitudes of the two became much more friendly. Chu Yuan took the opportunity to ask a few questions about work and obtained some information.
Baiyun Village makes a living by growing wheat and corn, and there is also a peanut field at the end of the village.
When Chu Yuan arrived, all the crops had already been planted and now all that was left was watering, fertilizing and weeding.
Xu Jiajia's job was weeding, which earned her six work points a day, while Zhang Ya was assigned to fetch water, which earned her eight work points a day.
Those who really couldn't work, such as the educated youth Qiao who had moved out, would join the children in the village in picking grass for pigs. They could earn three work points for picking two baskets of grass for pigs.
Chu Yuan was quite curious about his future neighbor and began to ask about him indirectly.
The two old educated youth both looked regretful when they talked about him.
This educated youth Qiao was good-looking, tall, and a high school graduate. As soon as he arrived in Baiyun Village, he was noticed by the secretary's daughter.
It was a pity that he was all show and no use and he fainted in the field on his first day at work.
The village chief quickly called a tractor and sent the man to the town hospital. The doctor diagnosed that he was not sick, just weak.
Nothing happens when I don't work, but I feel dizzy when I start working.
The village chief had lived for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a person. He was worried for most of the night and sent him to collect grass for pigs with the children.
The secretary saw that this educated youth Qiao was a gigolo and refused to agree to his daughter's request no matter what. He found a man from the next village and married her to him.
Although Qiao Zhiqing could not work, his family was relatively well-off, and he could still eat well and dress well with three work points a day.
As time went on, many people started to set their sights on him. One of them was Liu Li, a female educated youth from the next room, who pestered her at the educated youth site every day.
This made Qiao Zhiqing so annoyed that he moved out at his own expense.
