Chapter 345 The Poor Educated Youth Forced to Go to the Countryside 17
"Qianqian, how long do you think it will take to get here?"
"It's almost time, didn't the conductor come over to remind you just now?"
"Oh, I hope it arrives soon. I'm so tired from sitting on the train that grass is growing on me!"
As he was talking, a voice came over the train broadcast: "Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at the final stop of this train - Songjiang City. Please prepare to get off the train."
Gu Qian and Xia Fangli were pushed off the train by the crowded crowd, dragging their heavy luggage. As soon as they got out of the station, they saw a simple but conspicuous sign that read: Youth Educators Gathering Point.
The two of them hurriedly dragged their luggage over and, under the guidance of volunteers, found the gathering point in Ping County.
After a while, everyone gathered and got on the bus to Ping County.
After wandering for three hours, we finally arrived at the commune compound in Ping County.
The commune secretary stood in the middle of the yard and spoke: "Welcome to Ping County to support construction. Although the conditions here are difficult, there is a lot of room for development. Now we will assign you to various brigades."
Although he knew which team he would be assigned to, Gu Qian still felt nervous and expectant, not knowing what kind of environment and life he would face.
Then the staff read out the names and the corresponding brigades. When Gu Qian and Xia Fangli heard that they and Xia Fangli were assigned to the Qingping Brigade, they smiled at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to Gu Qian and Xia Fangli, there were two other men and two women who came to Qingping Brigade with them.
When the young people met for the first time, they were all a little strange and curious about each other. They looked at each other, their eyes flashing with expectation and confusion about their future life.
The first person to introduce himself was a tall man with a resolute face. "Hello, everyone. My name is Chen Jianshe, and I am 18 years old."
Then, another slightly more mature boy smiled and said, "Hello, comrade, my name is Hu Junli, I am 19 years old."
Afterwards, the two girls introduced themselves one by one.
Among them, the girl with two pigtails is named Liu Chunyan, also 18 years old; and the girl with short hair and who looks very lively and cute is named Fu Mengping, who, like Gu Qian, is only 17 years old.
Just then, a burly middle-aged man with a cold and serious face walked towards this side.
He said loudly: "First, let me introduce myself. I am Zhao Pengfei, the captain of the Qingping Brigade. On behalf of our entire brigade, I welcome all the new comrades to come and support the construction!"
As soon as Zhao Pengfei finished speaking, applause broke out in front of him.
However, he just waved his hand and continued with a serious look: "However, there are some things that are not pleasant to hear that I still have to make clear in advance."
"This place is different from where you were before. Now that you are here, you have to work. Each of your food, clothing, housing and transportation are linked to work points, and work points need to be earned by you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally lively atmosphere froze for a moment.
Seeing this, Zhao Pengfei knew that his previous words had shocked this group of young people.
So he paused for a moment and then spoke again to ease the atmosphere.
"I know that you are all intellectuals and talents. The conditions in our Qingping Brigade are relatively difficult, but we have done our best to improve everyone's living conditions. I hope that in the coming time, everyone can make their own contributions to the development of the brigade!"
"Good!" Everyone responded with enthusiastic applause.
"Our brigade currently only has one tractor, so we can only take people there first. Everyone, take your valuables with you. I will take you to the brigade first. As for the other luggage, you will have to wait for the next trip."
After hearing what the captain said, everyone started packing their luggage, except Gu Qian, who stood there without moving, carrying a large bag.
All her valuables were in the space, the money and bills she carried with her were also on her body, her bag was filled with her spare clothes, and the boxes and snakeskin bags were filled with some unimportant but necessary sundries.
Seeing such a unique scene, the captain couldn't help but look at Gu Qian twice more.
After a while, everyone got on the tractor and headed towards the Qingping Brigade in the bumpy ride.
Half an hour later, the tractor finally stopped in front of the educated youth compound of Qingping Brigade.
People got off the bus one after another and looked around curiously.
"This is the educated youth compound of our brigade. There are three rooms in total, one for boys and two for girls. Each room has four beds, but currently there is only one bed left in the boys' room and three beds left in the girls' room."
"Captain, what if there are not enough beds?" Hu Junli asked.
"This is what I'm going to say next. Some of the educated youth who came here before expressed their wish to live alone. So the brigade approved money to build a row of bungalows in front, a total of six rooms, and now there are four left."
"Captain, this room shouldn't be free, right?" Gu Qian knew that this room had to be paid for.
The original owner lived in the educated youth compound because he had no money.
"Yes!" The team leader looked at Gu Qian with appreciation and then said, "The team spent money to build this house, so of course we have to charge rent, 20 yuan a year. You can decide where you want to live. Those who want to live in the educated youth compound can go in and choose a bed."
"As for those who want to live in a bungalow, just tell me the number. After I explain everything clearly, I will take you to choose a house."
Gu Qian raised his hand without hesitation and said, "Captain, I want to live in a bungalow."
She has too many secrets and it's too inconvenient for her to live with others.
"Okay, your name is Gu Qian, right..." The captain nodded, and after recording it, he continued to ask, "Is there anyone else who wants to live in the bungalow?"
Seeing that Gu Qian chose the bungalow, Xia Fangli quickly raised her hand and said, "Captain, I, Xia Fangli! I also want to live in a bungalow."
Her parents gave her a lot of money and told her not to save it but to spend it when necessary, so she didn't hesitate at all.
She is the youngest child in the family, so she is favored by her family and loved by her brothers and sisters.
But it just so happened that she graduated this year and reached the age limit, while her brothers and sisters were over the age limit and already had jobs, so she was the only one in her family who could go to the countryside.
"Captain, I also want to live in a bungalow."
"And I……"
"Okay, Xia Fangli, Hu Junli, Chen Jianshe..."
Zhao Pengfei was a little surprised to see so many people choose to live in bungalows.
This house was built more than a year ago, and only two people have moved in.
He originally thought that it was a waste of money, but he didn't expect that this group of educated youth were all rich and they selected all the remaining bungalows in no time.
Damn!
He thought happily: It seems that the team will be able to earn more money this year.
