Chapter 17
Su Xi was a little hesitant about whether to drive Chen Jun away. After all, everyone is an educated youth from the capital, and it is not good to isolate him.

Hearing what Chen Jun said, she immediately said without hesitation: "Chen Jun, we decided to fire with five of us."

"Whether you eat by yourself or with the old educated youth, it's up to you."

She thinks it's better to stay away from this kind of person who always puts a label on others and is on the line. She thinks it's better to stay away and avoid contact with them.

In this day and age, there are quite a few people who like to make small reports.

Chen Jun was very angry, "Okay, okay, you people form cliques and form small groups—"

"Shut up!" Susie interrupted him, "Don't take your hat off, we just don't like you and don't want to start a fire with you!"

Chen Jun gritted his teeth, "If you are together, people like you? Who cares about being with you? I don't believe it. I, Chen Jun, can't eat without you!"

He turned around angrily and left, Susie watched him enter Chen Changqing's room, and said in a deep voice, "Pay attention to this person in the future, especially don't talk nonsense in front of him, this person doesn't look old, he is engaged in political struggle Very good."

Everyone knew it was great, so they nodded.

Su Qian asked Yuan Gang, "You went to the captain again later, what did he say?"

Yuan Gang said: "Fortunately, I went to ask. Captain Xu asked us to go to the tool room at six o'clock tomorrow morning to pick up farm tools, and then go to work."

Susie thought for a while, "Let's go, let's get the letter of introduction and report to the captain first, and then ask about the private plot. We also have to ask him about the cooking stove."

Susie and Zhao Tingting went into the room and found the letter of introduction, and Susie came out with a flashlight.

At this time, it was already dark, and the mountain road was full of potholes, making it difficult to walk.

Qiao Mu took the flashlight and walked ahead, Yuan Gang led the way beside him, and several girls followed.

It was almost pitch black all around, and only when we passed by the house of the fellow villager could we see a little dim light.

With one deep foot and one shallow foot, he finally reached Captain Xu's house.

Captain Xu’s house is a few green brick and tile houses, and the courtyard door is wide open. Several people walked into the courtyard of Captain Xu’s house. Yuan Gang opened his voice and shouted, "Is Captain Xu at home?"

A woman in the room poked her head out, "At home, at home, come in."

Several people entered the main room, and Xu Changgui came from the next room.

Xu Changgui looks more than 50 years old, somewhat similar to Uncle Xu, after all, they are brothers.

Captain Xu waved his hands, "A new educated youth? Everyone sits down."

As soon as everyone sat down, another man in his 30s came out from the next room. Seeing so many people in the room, he muttered, "Why are there so many educated youths assigned? The rations in the team are not enough. This is really true. !"

The man went out unhappy.

Susie and the others were very embarrassed.

If you think about it, the number of fields each production team has is fixed. If the population increases, the arable land does not increase, which is equivalent to taking food out of the mouths of the villagers to feed them.

Xu Changgui waved his hand, "It's my son, he doesn't have a clue, so please ignore him."

Su Qian thought to herself that you might as well not explain it, which means that the words are true, but they should not be said.

The captain's daughter-in-law Liu Hongying came in with a few cups of tea, finally breaking the embarrassment.

Everyone got up to take the teacups, and when it was Susie's turn at last, Liu Hongying stared at Susie several times, "Hey, this girl looks good, she seems to have seen it somewhere."

Xu Changgui nodded, "When I took a quick look at it, I thought it was kind-faced. I felt a bit like someone, but I couldn't tell when it came to my mouth."

Liu Hongying slapped her thigh suddenly, "Isn't this a bit like your sister-in-law!"

Xu Changgui looked at Su Qian again, "If you say that, it's true, just a bit like a sister-in-law."

Liu Hongying stared at Su Qian for a while, and then went out with the plate.

Su Qian didn't take their words to heart, first showed Xu Changgui the letter of introduction, and then said: "Captain Xu, we want to apply for some private land to grow vegetables."

Xu Changgui took out a pack of economy cigarettes, took out one, knocked the cigarette butt on the table a few times, leaned close to the oil lamp and took two puffs to light it.

He frowned and let out a puff of smoke, "It stands to reason that we should give you some private land to grow vegetables, but there is no land in the team now, so where can I get you some land?"

Su Qian said: "I see that behind the collective educated youth, there is still a small piece of land that is vacant. Besides, on the hillside over there, maybe a little bit can be opened for a vegetable plot."

In the house where they live, there is an open space behind the window, and the mountain behind it.

Xu Changgui took another deep puff of his cigarette, "I even forgot, that is the land left by the two educated youths who left before, and I can give it to you."

"However, there are rocks on the other side of the hillside, and the vegetable fields cannot be opened."

Susie nodded, "Then let's see if we can plant something on the side of the hill."

Xu Changgui waved his hand, "It's up to you, it's just two points of land for one person, this standard cannot be exceeded."

"By the way, everyone has eaten? Are there any difficulties in life?"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"

Xu Changgui smiled, "It seems that the difficulty is quite big, let's talk about it, if the team can solve it, we will try our best to solve it for you."

Everyone looked at Su Qian, and Xu Changgui also looked at Su Qian.

He felt a little strange, this female educated youth seemed to be the youngest, how could she be the master?

Susie had to clear her throat, "We need to start a stove, and we need pots, pans, and bowls to start a fire, and we have to buy them."

"By the way, we still have to make wardrobe tables and chairs. I wonder if there is any carpenter in the team?"

Xu Changgui shook his head, "Beat the stove—"

"It's busy farming, how can I have the time to do that."

He pointed at Qiao Mu and Yuan Gang, "Hey, aren't these two young men? It's easy to make a stove, just get some stones and mud."

Susie looked at Qiao Mu, who nodded, "I'll try tomorrow."

Xu Changgui continued: "You guys want to open the cabinets, but there is a carpenter in the team, I don't know that he is not free recently, I will take you to his house and ask."

Just as Liu Hongying came in with another plate of peanuts, she looked at Su Qian, "Do you want to break the furniture?"

Su Qian nodded, and Liu Hongying disapproved, "Oh, when will it be used?"

"It may take ten and a half months to build a wardrobe, and it needs to be painted before it can be used. It has to be painted over and over again. There is no painter in our team, so we have to go outside to find a painter."

"Carpenters and painters will cost a lot of money!"

"Let me see, you might as well ask around the village to see who has cabinets and chairs that are not needed. They are broken, and it doesn't take much trouble to buy them and repair them. The main thing is that they can be used immediately."

Susie felt that what she said made sense, and nodded with a smile, "Thank you, auntie, then I'll buy it."

Liu Hongying sat down with a smile on her face, "No thanks, no thanks, I think you have a kind face, so I'm afraid you will suffer."

"I'll also inquire for you when I go to work tomorrow to see who has unused items."
