Chapter 15: Talking to the Captain about Building a House

Seeing the two people provoking her, Su An was also blunt and directly said,

I locked my closet, how does it bother you? Did I say you are thieves? Do you have to jump out and object?

Or do you just want to steal things, so you don’t want us to lock it?

Zhang Liping and Wang Zhaodi’s faces suddenly turned red with anger, How could we want to steal your things, don’t accuse people casually.

That’s right, you are guarding against us, why don’t you tell us?

Su An rolled her eyes directly, Since you don’t miss our things, it has nothing to do with you if we lock it. We lock it for safety, so that we won’t lose things and can’t explain it, which will affect the harmony among us educated youth.

Li Chunping, the elder sister, helped to say something fair, Su An is right, it doesn’t bother us if they lock it, so that we won’t lose things and can’t explain it.

Seeing that Li Chunping was speaking for Su An, Zhang Liping and Wang Zhaodi didn’t know what to say. But Zhang Liping stared at Sun Xinxin’s locked closet and felt a little unwilling.

She had just seen that Sun Xinxin had brought a lot of good things with her from the countryside, including milk powder and malted milk.

If Sun Xinxin hadn’t locked the door, she wouldn’t have been noticed if she occasionally drank some of her milk powder and malted milk. Now that it’s locked, it’s hard for her to do so.

The other old educated youths saw Zhang Liping’s reaction. They all thought that Su An and Sun Xinxin were really smart and knew how to be on guard, otherwise Zhang Liping would have been keeping an eye on them.

Zhang Liping usually liked to take advantage of small things, and these old educated youths had all suffered losses, but it was not easy to remind Su An and Sun Xinxin about this.

The two of them locked the door on their own initiative, so they didn’t need to remind them to be on guard.

The old educated youths went out to work not long after they rested. The new educated youth didn’t have to go for the time being.

Wang Zhaodi saw that Su An and Sun Xinxin had bought straw mats and wardrobes.

Although she was reluctant to spend money, she couldn’t live without wardrobes, so she had to go out and buy them.

After Wang Zhaodi left, Su An asked Sun Xinxin to go with her to take some things and go to the home of the team leader Wang Weihua.

They had to tell the team leader about their plan to go out alone to build a house. Since they were looking for help, it would not be good to go empty-handed.

In addition, the two new educated youth had to be taken care of by the team leader.

Why should they expect others to take care of you without giving you some benefits?

If it weren’t for Su An’s leadership, Sun Xinxin wouldn’t know how to do these things. Now Sun Xinxin is Chunchun’s little follower. She does whatever Su An does.

The two came to the team leader’s house with things, but the team leader had gone out to arrange the division of labor for the team members and had not returned yet.

Seeing the two educated youth coming, the team leader’s wife Tao Dani received them warmly.

Hey, two new educated youth, why are you here? Is there something wrong? My husband is not at home. If you want to look for him, you will have to wait. I’ll ask the children to call him back.

Su An said to Tao Dani, Auntie, we are not in a hurry. We will wait for the captain uncle.

Tao Dani saw that Su An and Sun Xinxin were both very polite, completely different from the other new educated youth, and she had a better impression of them.

Okay, then you sit down.

Before Su An and Sun Xinxin sat down, they handed the things they brought to Tao Dani.

Tao Dani looked at the things they handed over. Wow, Su An gave two packs of Daqianmen, two bottles of white wine, and a pack of brown sugar.

Sun Xinxin also gave a pack of milk candy, a pack of brown sugar, and a can of malted milk.

The things these two gave were the best things in the countryside. Especially the brown sugar they gave, it really touched Tao Dani’s heart. Their eldest daughter had just given birth to a child at her husband’s house, and women in the confinement period needed brown sugar to replenish their qi and blood.

However, Tao Dani politely refused the things sent by Su An and Sun Xinxin, saying, What are you doing? Why did you send so many good things? Take them back quickly.

Su An said, Aunt, we are all educated youth who have just gone to the countryside. We are unfamiliar with the place here. We may have to trouble the captain to take care of us. This thing is a little gift from us. Please accept it, aunt.

Sun Xinxin didn’t know what to say, but she just nodded and agreed with Su An.

Tao Dani pretended to be polite, but finally accepted the things.

Two young educated youth, if you have anything in the future, just tell your aunt, don’t be polite.

Su An and Sun Xinxin both agreed with a smile.

Tao Dani, who had received the benefits, treated Su An and Sun Xinxin more enthusiastically. She quickly poured hot tea for them, and then urged the children at home to call Wang Weihua back.

Wang Weihua came home after arranging the tasks for the team members in the afternoon. Seeing Su An and Sun Xinxin, he thought that the two new educated youth had encountered something.

Tao Dani pulled Wang Weihua aside and told him about the gifts they had just given.

Hearing that Su An and Sun Xinxin had given gifts and Tao Dani had accepted them, Wang Weihua frowned, How could you accept the things they gave me? Isn’t this forcing me to make mistakes?

Tao Dani snorted, Don’t raise this matter to this level. The two new educated youth didn’t ask you to do anything with backdoors.

They just said that they had just come to the countryside and hoped that we would take care of them more. Isn’t this a convenient thing?

Our Fang’er just gave birth to a child and needs brown sugar. Accept their things and I will send them to Fang’er.

What? As a father, don’t you feel sorry for your daughter?

After being told this by Tao Dani, Wang Weihua said helplessly, Okay, as long as you don’t force me to make mistakes, it’s okay to do things that I shouldn’t do.

It’s just taking care of Su An and Sun Xinxin a little more, which is not difficult. When I go back to do farm work, I will arrange some easier things for these two kids.

In fact, even if Su An didn’t come to give gifts this time, Wang Weihua had a good impression of her and was willing to help more in the future.

After talking to Tao Dani, Wang Weihua came to Su An and Sun Xinxin to ask if they had anything to ask him.

Su An also stated her purpose very directly.

Captain, I think the educated youth site is too crowded. It’s a bit crowded for eight people to live in one room, and there are many inconveniences in life. I want to ask if we can move out and build a house to live in separately.

Wang Weihua naturally knew the situation of the educated youth site, but after Su An finished speaking, he frowned,

It’s not impossible for you to live alone, but the money for building the house cannot be paid by the team, you have to pay for it yourself.

Our Yutou Village Production Team is not rich, and the team has less money, so we can’t help you educated youth who went to the countryside to build houses.
