With more people, there will naturally be more conflicts.
There are currently sixteen educated youths in the Educated Youth Point, nine male educated youths and seven female educated youths.
It's okay for female educated youths. There are three people in one room and four in one room. Women are relatively petite, so they can live in open spaces.
The dormitory where five people live in the male educated youth's dormitory has more conflicts.
It's just that they are tired from farming, some people have poor hygiene habits, which makes the whole house smell bad, and then there are different living habits and so on.
In order to keep warm, the windows originally built in the Educated Youth Point were very small and the ventilation was not very good, so conflicts arose.
When they heard that Lu Baoguo said that another group of educated youths would be coming next month, they all felt that this was untenable.
So, Ma Jianmin took several representatives, including the grandson of the senior official, to fight with the brigade to see if two more dormitories could be built.
Lu Baoguo and Lu Qing'an were also very bald when they heard that another group of educated youths would be coming next month.
These educated youths are really not very good at work. They have to practice for a year and a half before they are proficient. Even if they are proficient, they don't earn many work points, so they can barely make ends meet. There are very few who can earn more than the average work points of the team. Not much.
But everyone has arrived in the brigade, and they must not watch people starve to death. They must be given food per head, which is equivalent to the brigade supporting them.
"You said, what should we do if so many educated youths come here every year?" Lu Baoguo is in charge of agricultural production, and he knows best how the educated youths work.
Lu Qing'an is also worried. Looking at the situation, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of educated youths in recent years.
When dozens of people live together, there will definitely be a lot of conflicts and it will be inconvenient to manage.
If something happens when people come to their place, their brigade will be held responsible.
The two were still discussing how to arrange it, when they saw Ma Jianmin bringing a few educated youths over.
When Ma Jianmin explained his needs, Lu Baoguo frowned and said, "Ma Educated Youth, our brigade's educated youth spot is one of the best in the entire commune. Not to mention the new one, it's very spacious."
"Each room was originally built to sleep six people, so why is there not enough sleep?"
"There are families in our brigade, with seven or eight people in a family, and the beds they sleep on are not as wide as those of educated youths."
"We are all revolutionary comrades, and we live in the same educated youth spot. That is fate. We should help each other more, sympathize with each other, and be less individualistic."
"Captain, we can live in it now. When the new batch of educated youths come, they can barely squeeze in. But when the next batch comes, there will be no place to live. It's impossible for everyone to sleep close to each other." Ma Jianmin said .
Lu Baoguo took a puff of cigarette and said: "If we can't sleep by then, we will think of a way. This house cannot be expanded. When this new dormitory was built, our village cadres were also under pressure. If we expand it, the members will Can’t pass.”
The brigade's funds are also limited. To build two large dormitories, it costs more than 100 yuan at least. This money is enough to subsidize the lonely elderly people in the village for several winters.
"Captain, what if we pay for it ourselves?" someone asked.
They also inquired about other brigades where educated youths spent their own money to build small houses for themselves.
Lu Baoguo and Lu Qing'an looked at each other. They had just discussed that if there were too many people, the educated youth could be encouraged to build their own houses.
Lu Baoguo pretended to be entangled, "It's not impossible, but it can only be built next to the educated youth spot to facilitate management."
"How much does it cost to build a house?"
"It depends on how big you build it. If it's just a single room, the adobe house will be about forty. But to be clear, the homestead of this house still belongs to the brigade. When you are still in the brigade, this house belongs to you. But if the people leave, this house will belong to the brigade." Lu Baoguo said.
Other teams also operate in this way.
"Okay, no problem. Let's go back and discuss it, and report to the team leader tomorrow." Ma Jianming and his people really came and left quickly.
They had discussed at the educated youth point that it was probably impossible for the brigade to allocate more funds to build dormitories. Their original intention was to build a dormitory for themselves or two people who were well-connected, so that they could have a private space without having to talk to others. squeeze.
They were also worried that the brigade would disagree if they said it would be built separately at first, so they took a detour. Since the goal was achieved, they quickly went back to discuss it.
They also measured it. On the land next to the educated youth point, if a single room of 20 square meters could be built, only six rooms could be built at most. If they can be built together and everyone is connected in a row, it is estimated that the cost can be reduced further.
When several people went back to talk about the matter, Ma Xiaojuan immediately expressed her position that she would build one room, and the grandson of the senior official also wanted to build one. Ma Jianmin and another old educated youth built one together, and immediately left with three rooms.
Jiang Yue also wanted to build one, but she couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she secretly asked Ma Xiaojuan: "Sister Xiaojuan, do you think I should build one too?"
"If you have money, just build it. I estimate that there will only be more and more people in the future. Don't want to build it again and there will be no space left."
After a while, another male educated youth asked for one room, and now there were only two rooms left.
Jiang Yue was a little anxious and quickly asked for a room.
What's a little embarrassing is that when she came, she only brought thirty yuan for fear of being stolen on the train. She had spent a lot on shopping before, but now she only had a dozen yuan left.
The money her mother sent her hasn't arrived yet. It will probably take two days, and she doesn't know if she will have to pay it immediately.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yue decided to borrow money from Su Mo later and pay her back as soon as she received the money.
In the evening, Jiang Yue went to Su Mo's house to look for her.
Although Jiang Yue roughly knew where Su Mo lived, this was her first time here. After entering the house, Jiang Yue sighed: "Sister Su Mo, your house is really nice. It's not as good as it is in the city." Of course, with her, The bungalow I lived in before was incomparable.
People with good fortune will do well wherever they go.
No wonder her mother often said that only by accumulating good deeds can one be blessed.
Grandpa Su must have done great kindness, so even if his descendants encounter disasters, they can still avoid dangers.
Su Mo smiled and handed Jiang Yue a glass of sugar water, "This was built by my lover before she got married. What do you want from me when you come here today?"
"Sister Su Mo, I want to borrow some money from you." Jiang Yue told her about building a house. "When the money my mother remits to me arrives, I will pay you back immediately."
Su Mo was originally a little worried that Jiang Yue would tell her story, but it had been more than a month and no news had come out. It seemed that she was also a strict talker.
"Okay, how much do you want to borrow?" Su Mo asked, hoping this girl is a good one.
"Just lend me thirty yuan. They said it might cost about forty yuan. I still have about ten yuan."
Su Mo went into the room and took thirty yuan to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue thanked her gratefully, and before leaving, she said to Su Mo: "Sister Su Mo, do you have any issues with that educated youth Chen Lan? She always asks me about your family's affairs."
"But don't worry, I didn't reveal anything to her that she shouldn't have said."
"Okay, I understand, thank you for keeping it a secret for me." Su Mo said.
I really didn't expect Chen Lan to be so interested in her.
