Chapter 482: The Lazy, Fair-skinned Youth and the Hardworking, Strong Laborer (5)
The lazy, fair-skinned educated youth and the hardworking, strong laborer (V)
The educated youth site here has two large rooms and a small kitchen, it's very simple.
Usually, the male educated youth lived in one room and the female educated youth lived in the other. In the kitchen, everyone cooked and ate together after paying their rations.
So when Dong Cai was driven back to the educated youth site from his fellow villagers, everyone wanted to make things clear with Dong Cai and ask him to hand over his share of grain first. In the first few days, they thought Dong Cai should know the rules and be more self-disciplined, but they didn't expect that after a few days, Dong Cai didn't move at all.
Sun Yingying was the one in charge of cooking in the kitchen. She was a little puzzled when she saw Xu Meng coming back empty-handed.
"Brother Xu, didn't you go to ask Dong Cai for food? Why did you come back empty-handed? Didn't he give you any?"
Xu Meng opened his mouth but said nothing.
"...I'll talk to him about the food issue later. He doesn't seem to be in a good mood right now."
"not in a good mood?"
Sun Yingying thought about it and gossiped in a low voice.
"Could it be that he heard that the fellow villager who used to live with him now has a new educated youth living in his house? But if you ask me, he deserves it."
Xu Meng was not very clear about this matter, "How do you say it?"
"What do you mean? Brother Xu, you don't know yet?" Sun Yingying saw that he looked confused and quickly explained to him.
"You know the fellow villager who let Dong Cai live in, right? The Song family had an accident this year. Their parents passed away a few days ago, and I heard that Dong Cai seemed to have lost his temper with them a few times. I don't know why, but after a few incidents, the fellow villager seemed a little sad. Besides, Dong Cai didn't care about the family's parents, and kept making trouble. The fellow villager couldn't stand it anymore and kicked them out."
She couldn't help shaking her head as she spoke.
If she were to say, Dong Cai is just not grateful for what he has.
Is there any educated youth in their educated youth center who doesn’t want to live with his fellow villagers?
Of course I want to.
Not only was living with the fellow villager more comfortable than living in the educated youth center, she also heard that the fellow villager's family did not even charge Dong Cai for his food rations but just provided him with three meals a day.
Several times, she saw her fellow villagers cooking meat at home. Dong Cai sat at the table and ate just the meat without taking anything else, and the fellow villagers didn't say anything.
Not to mention, who doesn’t know that Dong Cai’s work points were all earned with help from his fellow villagers?
If she were to say, if she could live with a fellow villager's family, she would mourn for a month if their parents died.
How can there be someone like Dong Cai, who not only does not comfort his fellow villagers but also insists on acting arrogantly at this time? Who does he think of himself?
It's not just Sun Yingying who thinks so, many people who know the situation also think so.
This is what Luo Feng, the production team leader in Shangsan Village, thought.
"Xiao Ning, have you thought it through? Do you really want to let the new educated youth live in your house?"
Song Ning asked Lance to put the luggage at home, and then brought people to talk to the captain.
It is possible to live in a fellow villager's house, which is not too big or too small, but you still have to make a report.
After hearing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but pull Song Ning aside and say a few more words.
"Hasn't that educated youth suffered enough for you? Are you going to let another educated youth into your home?"
His dark and thin face was full of disappointment.
Others may not know about Song Ning's family affairs, but how could Luo Feng not know?
He didn't want to agree when Dong Cai and Song Ning came over, but Song Ning was so coaxed by the educated youth that he stayed in his house for two days. He had no choice but to give in.
The results of it?
After Dong Cai moved in, he had everything provided for him all day long. Even going to the fields was like a show. He just did nothing but be lazy all day long.
On the contrary, the Song family was very kind to people, buying them meat and candy. He also heard that Dong Cai asked other people's mothers to help wash his clothes.
Listen, is this true?
As a result, this kind of guy didn't help at all when the Song family got into trouble. He didn't even come to see the two elders of the Song family for the last time on the seventh day. It can be seen that this educated youth from the city is heartless.
"Captain, this is different."
Song Ning scratched his head and looked back.
Lance immediately stepped forward, took out two cigarettes and stuffed them into the captain's hand, then rescued Song Ning from his clutches with a warm smile on his face.
"Song Ning, my fellow villagers and I have already discussed it. I won't live here for free. I will use my work points to pay the rent, which is two yuan a month. I won't touch the house."
cigarette?
Where did this new educated youth get these good things?
Luo Feng wanted to return it, but he hadn't smelled the smell of good cigarettes for a long time.
His stomach was churning with cravings, but he couldn't resist and accepted it.
"You said you pay two dollars a month?"
Collecting is collecting, doing the work is doing the work, he needs to make it clear.
Lance looked at Song Ning and moved him slightly behind him.
"Yes, I lived in the youth training camp if I was assigned a place to live, but why should I live in my fellow villager's house for free? I thought since I was staying at my fellow villager's house, shouldn't I pay rent?"
He paused deliberately, revealing a puzzled expression. "Is it wrong for me to do this? Although we should work together and make progress together, I didn't contribute money, effort, or money to help my fellow villager build his house. I can't just take advantage of my fellow villager for nothing, right? Wouldn't that make me a parasite? This won't do."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Feng's eyes became sharp.
"That's right. We can't become those termites. You're right."
He looked at Lance with admiration, "You are a new educated youth with a high level of ideological awareness. Not bad."
Song Ning just stood there in a daze, watching Lance talk to the captain for a few words, and then the captain sent them out with a relieved and happy look on his face.
"Okay, it's settled. Song Ning, Lance is a progressive young man with ideas and ambitions. You should communicate with him more often in the future."
What else can Song Ning say?
I could only nod and say yes.
After crossing the clear road, Song Ning felt much more relaxed after bringing the person home.
His house was not small. His parents lived in the east, he lived in the west, and there was another room in the back where Dong Cai lived.
"It turns out that only the back room can be lived in. The educated youth in the front lives here."
Song Ning pushed open the door of the back room and was greeted by a choking smell.
Song Ning: “…”
Lance: “…”
Song Ning slammed the door shut. "Let's go look for another house. This one is not suitable for living."
He usually didn't go into Dong Cai's room, so how could he know that Dong Cai could live in such a horrible state? And the smell was really bad, like feces and urine. Didn't Dong Cai take his own toilet with him when he left?
In an instant, Song Ning's previous filter about Dong Cai's identity as an educated youth was completely shattered.
He even broke down a little.
If he had known that Dong Cai was such a dirty guy, he would never have fallen for Dong Cai even if all the men in the world were dead!
