Chapter 169 You really don’t know how to enjoy it
The seven educated youths assigned this time include two locals, two from Beijing, and the remaining three are from Tianjin, Shanghai and Han. It’s no wonder that this time they are not on the same train or on the same railway line. Of course, there is no way to get on the same train.
After everyone introduced themselves, it became less awkward. It was probably because this group of intellectuals were a little older and therefore more mature, and there was no such thing as yin and yang.
The captain continued, "Our production team has single rooms and double rooms. Single rooms cost one yuan a month, and double rooms cost one yuan a month. You two girls can discuss living together."

Seeing that there are more and more educated youths, if they all want to live in single rooms, there are simply not enough single rooms. It seems that we have to seize the time to build another row of single rooms. There will definitely be educated youths coming later.
"Comrade Xia." Xiao Tiantian called Xia Chan.
Xia Chan knew that Xiao Tiantian wanted to ask whether it was reliable for her to live with Yuan Bingbing. It seemed that Xiao Yunfan had told their siblings about Xia Chan, which meant that they all knew about Xia Chan.
Xia Chan nodded gently. Yuan Bingbing was a very upright person, and they could take care of each other even if they lived together.
Seeing Xia Chan nodding, Xiao Tiantian said to the captain, "Captain, if Yuan Zhiqing agrees to live together, then Yuan Zhiqing and I will live in a double room, so that each of us will only have to pay seventy-five cents a month. Just pay the rent.”
Yuan Bingbing also nodded, "Okay."
This Xiao Tiantian is nineteen years old and does not look naive. She should not cause trouble to herself. The two of them live together and can take care of each other.
There are five male educated youths left, living in pairs. Only Xiao Fengfeng lives in a single room. If he lives in a double room, it will be inconvenient to take care of his sister. If he is away, his sister enters his room and talks to another man. It is not good for educated youth to be alone in a room.
Seeing that this group of educated youths were so sensible, the captain was relieved. He was really pissed off by the previous groups of educated youths. He couldn't live peacefully and had to cause some trouble.
If it weren't for the ability of Xia Chan in the production team to win the favor of Secretary Mo, their Yong'an production team would have been blacklisted by Secretary Mo.
In the evening, the tractor drove into the brigade leader's house. The brigade captain asked Aunt Lin to cook for everyone. Then he took the educated youths to the brigade headquarters. He first arranged rooms for them and received the first month's rations, and then took them to the educated youth home. point.
After entering their respective rooms and putting down their luggage, they went to the captain's house for dinner.
Xia Chan had already rejected Aunt Lin's proposal to stay and have dinner with her and went home. She still had some "bought" things in her basket. What if she didn't go home early and let these things go stale?
As soon as Xia Chan entered the house, Xia Qi took the basket on her back. Xia Chan said suspiciously, "Brother, have you not eaten yet?"
Xia Qi did not answer, but asked, "Why did it take so long this time?"
"The two trains arrived at different times, so I waited a little longer." Xia Chan went to the kitchen to fetch water and washed her hands and face to cool herself down. Although the temperature was still a bit low at night in June, she was busy outside. It's been a day and it's still a little hot.
Afterwards, Xia Chan took out the fresh meat from the basket and handed it to Xia Qi, "Brother, hurry up and cook the braised pork and stew the dried bamboo shoots! I bought it at noon. Fortunately, it doesn't smell bad."
This time, she was accompanied by the captain. After she took out the things, she did not hide them in the space again. She was afraid that the captain would find out the clues, so she hid the meat in the backpack for several hours.
Xia Qi went to the kitchen, grabbed a few handfuls of dried bamboo shoots, soaked them in warm water, and then began to cut the meat into large pieces, like pieces of mahjong. Xia Chan, on the other hand, is packing the things in her backpack in the room. It may be because it is June, which is the peak season for strawberries and cherries in the 21st century. It may also be because these two fruits are sold directly from the place of origin, so during this period, The strawberries and cherries in Cross Mall are very cheap.
A box of strawberries costs five yuan, and one box is exactly one pound. They look clean and tidy.
The same goes for cherries.
Xia Chan took advantage of the bargain and placed an order for a thousand boxes each, planning to sell them directly in winter when there is a shortage of fruits. The ripe colors of strawberries and cherries are very beautiful, and they will definitely be sold out as soon as they are taken out.
Now we are on the line with the county black market. If we sell it to the county black market at the end of the year, we should be able to make more money!
Today, Xia Chan took out five boxes each of strawberries and cherries, because she had many brothers and they had big appetites, so she took too little and probably wouldn't be enough to eat.
Cherries last longer than strawberries, so Xia Chan saved the cherries for tomorrow and ate the strawberries today. She took the strawberries to the kitchen and washed them with water. Xia Qi saw them and said curiously, "This is red, it should be Berry?”
"Yes, this is a strawberry, which is different from the raspberries and strawberries picked in the mountains." Xia Chan picked off the leaves on the strawberry, stuffed one into Xia Qi's mouth, and asked with a smile, "How is it? Isn’t it particularly delicious? ”
"It smells good, but a little sour." Xia Qi frowned.
"Hmph, you really don't know how to enjoy it. Coffee is bitter, chocolate is bitter, and strawberries are sour." Wash it, put it on a plate, and put it on the dining table.
Eat some fruit before or after a meal to relieve greasiness.
Soon Xia Qi made braised pork and bamboo shoots. Since there were a lot of bamboo shoots, she filled a whole basin with braised pork and bamboo shoots. After that, everyone sat down to eat together. After a while, you all eat a little more. If you eat a dozen each, it will be almost gone.”
The brothers originally wanted to keep it for Xia Chan to eat slowly, but if this thing is not put away, it is better for them to eat it than to put it away. Anyway, the money at home is kept in the drawer, and Xia Chan can take the money at any time if she wants to eat. purchase.
Even if all the money in the drawer is used to buy food, they won't say a word.
Who makes them rich?
This is their confidence.
Moreover, by cultivating her sister into a bad habit of spending money lavishly, those stingy men will not be able to deceive her in the future. Xia Chan will definitely look down on men like them who are older brothers.
They don't want their sister to marry into someone else's family and support someone else's family.
They can't control other people's girls, but their girls should live a life of freedom, carefree, and no restrictions. As long as she is happy.
The five brothers and sisters ate the fragrant braised pork and bamboo shoots while eating the sweet and sour strawberries. Not to mention they enjoyed themselves a lot.
