Chapter 38 The last wishes of the unfortunate father and daughter in the 60s 17

Comrade Gu Changan became a stay-at-home kid. In the eyes of the older villagers, old Comrade Gu was "weak and fragile", and young Comrade Gu was no less so.

Comrade Lao Gu did not allow Comrade Xiao Gu to go out to work, and everyone understood that Lao Gu's family did not need Xiao Gu's work points, so it didn't matter whether he went to work or not.

In his sophomore year, he devoted himself to rural construction. His job was to plow the fields. The ox pulled the plow and the man held the plow. The man and the ox ran wildly in the fields.

The crowd of onlookers in the field were shocked. They realized for the first time that cows were easier to use than tractors.

The big buffalo just can't talk, otherwise it would have scolded them, "It's no big deal to watch the fun, it's your turn to run two laps and try."

Although it is the production team's cow, it also has cow rights, right?

Did it want to run away?

No, it is involuntary.

I wonder what that wicked guy behind him did to him?

It can't control how much it moves, and it's going to tire itself to death.

The ten-work-point work was completed by Daer in less than an hour. The aunts and sisters in the team secretly made up their minds to recruit Daer as their son-in-law.

It would be a shame not to bring home such an all-round son-in-law.

Da Er became the ideal husband for all the unmarried girls in the brigade. His reputation spread beyond the Qinghe Brigade, and everyone in the surrounding area knew him.

The Gu family's yard is almost being tricked by matchmakers. Chang'an is afraid that some crazy women will appear and that Da Er will be tricked, so he reminds him every day before he goes to work.

If Da Er was a normal person, she wouldn't mind finding a wife for him, but he is not a normal person, and she can't harm the girl.

Her sixth father said, "They don't have any romantic feelings and won't be moved by any woman. If one day a woman does make them fall in love, that's God's will. We just need to prepare a dowry for them then."

"Shouldn't it be a betrothal gift?"

"Do you want to help them raise a wife and children?"

Changan shook her head. She herself wanted to live off her husband, so how could she possibly help Dashu and his friends support their wives and raise their children?

Chang'an's worries were not unnecessary, as a girl fell into the river that every girl had to cross during her sophomore year.

"Help! Help! Help!" The girl was splashing in the river, and the sophomore was watching on the shore. He wondered how long it would take her to splash onto the shore.

The girl is in the river and is extremely anxious. Please come down and pull me out.

Seeing the girl sinking into the river, the sophomore turned and ran, "Someone fell into the water, come and save her!!!"

girl:???

When it was time to get off work, he shouted and everyone going home would go to the river first.

The man who went into the river to rescue the girl was a gentle-looking male educated youth.

The girl came to her senses, saw clearly who had saved her, and cried bitterly. She almost died, but the man who saved her was not the one she wanted to marry.

Her mother slapped her twice angrily and said, "You little bitch, don't you look at the road when you walk? You fall into the river on such a wide road."

Then she hugged her and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, mom is here."

Da Er went home as early as when he saw someone going into the river to save someone. He couldn't understand the girl's train of thought. She was risking her life.

If no one came to save her, he would not let anything happen to her. He just wanted to teach her a lesson, hoping that after this near-death experience she would learn to take care of herself first.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the year when the time-traveling girl goes to the countryside.

There were educated youth coming here every year, but only one returned to the city. She was the female educated youth who wanted to get in touch with the Chang'an family. She was taken back by her family after only two months in the countryside.

There were eight educated youth in this group, more than in the past. The Youth House was too small for them to live in, so the team leader called the villagers to a meeting in the threshing ground, hoping to arrange for the educated youth to stay in the villagers' homes to build firewood.

It would cost money to expand the Youth League Home, and the cadres unanimously opposed it. They thought it would be better to save the money for the expansion and distribute it to the villagers.

If the educated youth did not want to go to the villagers' homes to build firewood, they could pay for building their own houses.

The team leader held a loud speaker and shouted, "The Youth House cannot accommodate so many people. Families with more spacious housing will arrange for an educated youth to share the fire. That's the way it is. Those families who are willing to share the fire with the educated youth should step forward and choose someone."

He gave the initiative to the villagers and did not let the educated youth elect the villagers.

Most of the villagers were unwilling to do so, and some of them could not even accommodate their own families, so they did not participate in this matter.

The villagers generally had a bad impression of the educated youth. They thought they were spoiled and arrogant, which was the image that the educated youth had fixed in the villagers' minds.

So no villager was willing to take the educated youth back, but there was an exception. The Shen family had three empty rooms, and Old Mrs. Shen wanted to rent them to the educated youth.

"I have three empty rooms. Who of you would like to live with me? Let's make it clear first. You have to pay rent."

Old Mrs. Shen waited for a long time but no one paid attention to her. She felt a little embarrassed and left with a cold snort.

It was impossible to live there for free, so she would rather let the house gather dust.

The family conditions of this group of educated youth were not very good. Seven out of the eight were not favored at home and went to the countryside to replace their younger brothers and sisters.

Their family won’t give them any support, and their parents ask them to send food back home. They really can’t afford to live in a house that requires rent.

Maybe the time-traveling girl Xu Xiaoyu has better financial conditions. Her sister is Xu Dayu and her brother is Xu Leiyu. She is the second child in the family. Her parents did not ignore her and were pretty good to her.

Xu Xiaoyu was bold enough to trade on the black market and save some money.

She fell in love with the house next to the Youth League Home at first sight and was very disdainful of other people's houses in the brigade.

She always thinks that she is the heroine, and with the aura of the heroine, she doesn't need to live in a shabby house.

No one from Changan's family came to the meeting. If they were, they would definitely spit on her face. Did she really think she was a dish? Not everyone who travels through time is the protagonist. They could be just a passerby.

The captain saw that no one had been arranged to go out and scratched his hair in annoyance.

The accountant suddenly had an idea and stepped forward to remind the team leader in a low voice, "Old Xie, isn't there a thatched hut near the cowshed? If we repair it, it should be able to be lived in. The hut is wide enough and can be separated into two rooms."

The captain hesitated. He knew that the thatched house was shaky and crumbling. "Isn't this unsafe?"

"Of course it's not safe to live like this. Can't we just call a few people to fix it?"

"Okay, you arrange it, and make sure it's safe."

"I'll go right away," the accountant found five or six young men in the crowd, took tools and went to repair the thatched hut.

The team leader called out lazily, "The educated youth will take a rest in the team headquarters. Your accommodation will be arranged later. Now the meeting is adjourned."

Xu Xiaoyu caught up with the team leader and put forward his request, "Team leader, I want to live with the fellow villager next door to the Youth League Home. Please make the arrangements. I can pay for the rent and food."

"He has a large family, it's not convenient to share a meal, and there's no place for you to stay." The team leader refused without even thinking about it. Based on past experience, this pretty female educated youth who had no clear understanding of herself was either greedy for Lao Gu's family or greedy for Lao Gu's house.

"You didn't even ask, how do you know they don't want to?" In her opinion, rural areas at that time were very backward, and they would be very happy to have a little extra income.

Just like the old lady just now, wasn't she here to collect rent? Could it be that the captain had a conflict with that family?

Seeing her changing expression, the captain didn't understand what she was thinking about. He ignored her, picked up the tools and went to the field. The captain also wanted to earn work points.
