Chapter 17 The Captain’s Disdain

It took a long time for the female educated youth to come out of their room, and everyone walked to the branch under the leadership of the two educated youth captains.

Yang Xiuying and Hao Hongmin's eyes were red, and they looked like they had cried.

But now everyone's mental and physical strength has reached their limit, and no one notices their situation.

Otherwise, if the beauties were crying, there would be some rash young man who would say some fair words to them.

Of course Han Li's health was fine, but at this time he chose to follow the public and not be treated like this meaningless extra dog.

"Village Chief Zhao, Captain Liang, and Zhang Huiji, you are all here. Let's bring the new educated youth to advance some food supplies."

When he arrived at the branch and heard the greetings from the two captains, Han Li discovered that the village chief, the brigade captain, and Hui Ji, the three giants in the village, were all there.

Village chief Zhao Shengli was sitting on a chair smoking a dry cigarette, and Hui Ji Zhang Dagang was sitting on the side with a smile on his face.

Only the captain, Liang Ziqiang, looked at them impatiently, as if they were a burden.

"It takes so long to drag, dilly-dally, divide the beds, and put down the bedding, what else can you do?"

"When you're here, don't waste time and come over quickly to sign the paperwork. It will be calculated as a ration of 35 kilograms per month for each of you."

"There are still more than two months of autumn harvest, so the brigade asked you to advance three months' rations."

"No matter what, I can make you hold on until it's time to share the food. If you can't hold on to the waste, just find a way on your own."

"After the autumn harvest, your work points will first be paid back to the grain advance, and you will be allocated as much grain as you can with the remaining work points."

"If you feel that there is not enough food at this time, you can use money to buy some, but you only have this opportunity once a year."

"This is why our Shanghe Brigade has this condition, giving you the opportunity to exchange money for food."

"The neighboring Zhonghe Brigade and Xiaohe Brigade do not have this condition at all. The educated youths do not have enough food and have to go hungry."

"I also know that you educated youths have money but don't have enough work points to go to the county town to buy food."

"But no matter where you are speculating, it is a crime to get caught. I will never intercede for you."

"Let me say it again, as long as we work hard and work hard in our Shanghe Village production brigade."

"You may be short of meat in your life here, but you will definitely not be short of food."

"Even if you want to eat fine grains, it's not impossible, as long as you have enough work points and money."

When everyone hears this, those from well-off families, such as Yang Xiuying, Hao Hongmin, etc., start to feel happy in their hearts.

They didn't expect that after going to the countryside, they could eat fine grains freely. This was simply better than the conditions at home.

But Han Li knew that things were definitely not that simple. If it were true, Aunt Liu would have told him when he was in the county town.

At this time, some people began to ask how to exchange for fine grains. If conditions allowed, they could definitely get some and mail them home.

Liang Ziqiang said a few more words at this time, which was like pouring cold water on them.

"What are you thinking? All the money you are asked to advance is coarse grains."

"If you want to eat fine grains, wait until after the autumn harvest to see how many work points you have. If you don't have enough work points to buy fine grains, you won't even buy them."

"Captain, how many work points do I need to buy fine grain?"

Liang Ziqiang: "You can buy it if it costs more than 700 work points. If it costs less than 700 work points, the price is 3:7."

"One hundred kilograms of grain can buy up to twenty kilograms of fine grain. This is a strict rule that will never change."

"But if you have more than 700 work points, you are not subject to this restriction. You can buy all the work points into fine grain."

"But you must first ensure that these fine grains can last you until next autumn harvest, otherwise you will only be hungry."

After hearing this, everyone made a mental calculation: three months, ninety days, and 700 work points.

They have to earn almost 8 work points a day to buy fine grain, although they don't know how difficult it is to earn 8 work points.

But that's not how the account was calculated. The 700 work points must first be repaid for the three months' rations advanced to them by the village.

They have to ensure that they can eat the rest until next year, which makes them feel completely cold.

Don’t think about eating refined grains regularly before next year’s autumn harvest. If you want to eat refined grains after next year’s autumn harvest, you have to work hard to earn work points.

"Captain, how many work points can one person earn per day?"

Liang Ziqiang: "It depends on you. Different things you do have different work points."

"The work points for heavy physical labor will be more, and the other work points will be less."

"No matter what tasks you do, there is a maximum of 10 work points per day, whether it is light or heavy physical work, you will have the opportunity to get the full 10 work points."

"The team will be followed by a dedicated scorer, and as long as you complete your work to a qualified level, you will receive corresponding work points."

"But each person can only get up to 10 work points a day. Once you're done, you can move around freely."

After listening to the team leader explain clearly the work situation, everyone started to sign the paperwork.

Han Li was the last one to sign. After signing, he made his request while the three giants were present.

Other villages have either village chiefs or brigade captains. If you need anything, you can just go to one person.

The special situation of Shanghe Village is the separation of powers caused by the three families in the village with big surnames.

If he misses this opportunity, he may have to visit three stores in a row later.

"Village Chief Zhao, Captain Liang, Zhang Huiji, I heard that our village supports educated youths in building their own houses. Is this true?"

"If it's true, I plan to build two small houses by myself,

When Han Li asked this question, everyone's eyes were focused, especially Yang Xiuying and Hao Hongmin.

As soon as they entered the house of the Educated Youth Yard, their hearts went cold, and when they got to the separate bunks, they were very angry.

People in the south are very concerned about their privacy, and they have to use spare sheets to cover their places.

As a result, they were criticized by everyone in the house, and they were almost called the eldest ladies of the ZB family.

If they could build their own houses and the price wasn't too expensive, would they still need to be so angry?

The three giants of Shanghe Village looked at each other, and Village Chief Zhao knocked on the tobacco bag in his hand and said.

"In principle, educated youths are allowed to build their own houses, but there is one thing I need to tell you in advance."

"You have the final say on how the house will be built. As long as you have enough money, you can build five large tile-roofed houses."

"This house will always belong to you while you are in the village. If you leave one day, it will belong to the village."

Build five large tile-roofed houses? There aren’t many five large tile-roofed houses in the entire AA County, right?

You would only do something like this out of your wits, and the room is too big and it would be troublesome for you to clean it up yourself.

All Han Li wanted was an independent and free space where he could have some small meals and improve his life.

When winter comes, he can heat the room as much as he wants, letting him enjoy the winter alone with peace of mind.

Of course, it's okay to have a girl come over to talk to you during the long winter, but it all depends on fate.
