Chapter 540: I love hearing this 540

Lin Tang had no idea that her grandnephew’s ambition had swollen to the point where he couldn’t even see its shadow.

Following the villagers, she stopped at the Knowledgeable Youth spot.

It was her first visit since the Knowledgeable Youth dwelling was completed.

Li Jiancai walked in the front, opening the gate to the courtyard.

The Knowledgeable Youth residence was built at the edge of the village, not too far from the grain drying ground.

It was a relatively new courtyard.

It was surrounded by earthen walls.

The courtyard was quite large, with two main rooms and another room that was a kitchen.

The rooms were made of mud and stones, with thatched roofs.

They looked a bit damp, but not shabby.

"This is where the brigade has arranged for you to stay. Male comrades in one room, female comrades in another, the smallest one is the kitchen."

Perhaps because they had seen the dilapidated houses in the village along the way, the Knowledgeable Youth had significantly lowered their expectations.

Discovering that the living quarters prepared by the brigade were quite new, they were both surprised and delighted.

Yu Feiyang set down his luggage, his expression relaxed.

He said gratefully with a smile, "Thank you! Thank you, Deputy Captain Li."

He had not expected the Shuangshan Brigade to build houses for them, and he was even more excited about his future life.

Even the bitterness of feeling abandoned by his family dissipated quite a bit.

The other Knowledgeable Youths also thanked them in turn.

"Thank you for the trouble the brigade has taken!!"

"Thank you, we will definitely work hard on construction and not cause trouble for the brigade."

...

Li Jiancai waved his hands.

"It’s not my doing, it’s the brigade’s decision. The house was built by everyone together."

He definitely wouldn’t claim credit for others’ work!

Yu Feiyang, being the eldest, had naturally become the spokesperson for the seven Knowledgeable Youths.

"Is that so, then thanks to all comrades. It’s an honor for us to come to the Shuangshan Brigade."

Before they arrived, they had been worried about being rejected by the locals, or not understanding the local dialects in such a small place. They had not expected everything to go so smoothly.

This place is really nice!

The members of the Shuangshan Brigade loved hearing these words.

Of course, their brigade was indeed great, the best!

They wanted to show off some of the brigade’s accomplishments, but remembering that the Captain had warned them not to gossip, they immediately swallowed their words.

Seeing that all the villagers in the brigade had gathered here and the newcomers couldn’t rest or tidy up, Li Jiancai gestured with his right hand.

"Let’s all go back now, don’t block the doorway here. There will be time to meet later. Let the Knowledgeable Youth comrades tidy up first."

Seeing there was nothing more to watch, the villagers present started to leave.

Lin Tang followed behind Li Xiuli, walking at the very back.

Suddenly, Chen Wanwan’s voice arose.

"Comrade Lin!"

Lin Tang wasn’t sure who the person behind her was calling, and since she was quietly speaking with Lin Zhicheng, she did not look back.

She continued to walk out unhurriedly.

Seeing Lin Tang not looking back, Chen Wanwan put down her luggage and walked quickly towards the doorway.

"Comrade Lin in front, the most beautiful female comrade there."

Li Xiuli thought her daughter was the most beautiful girl in the world.

Hearing this, she naturally looked back.

Turning her head, she found Chen Wanwan already standing in front of Lin Tang.

"Comrade Lin, I’m new here and don’t understand many things. I have some matters that I’d like to trouble you with. Are you available?"

Up close, she discovered just how pretty this country girl was.

More beautiful than any movie star she’d ever seen on a poster.

Lin Tang raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked, "What is it?"

Her eyes and eyebrows were exquisitely shaped, and her facial expressions brought an animated beauty to her picturesque face.

Beautiful!

Chen Wanwan was almost dazzled by that face.

She pinched the palm of her hand to suppress the impropriety that she could hardly contain.

"We’ve just arrived and the room is empty. If we want to prepare and arrange the room, what should we do?"

They had seen the room. It was stark and bare.

The beds were large and communal, with not a hint of privacy.

They needed tables, and cupboards as well.

Being a man, Li Jiancai wasn’t as detail-oriented.

He hadn’t thought about these things.

Hearing Chen Wanwan’s request, he realized his own shortcomings in his work.

Thinking that Lin Tang was a meticulous girl who could probably think of things he hadn’t considered, he asked.

"Tangtang, do you have time?"

Lin Tang guessed what Li Jiancai meant and nodded, "Yes, does Uncle Jiancai want me to stay and help settle in the Knowledgeable Youth comrades, right?"

Li Jiancai smiled and said, "You can’t hide anything from you. Will it be possible?"

Thinking that she didn’t have anything urgent to do next, Lin Tang readily agreed.

"Okay, leave it to me."

She was always willing to help out, as long as it wasn’t someone causing trouble.

Li Jiancai thanked her, "Then I’ll trouble you with this."

Then, he walked away with everyone.

Lin Tang looked around the Knowledgeable Youth spot and thought that the environment was actually quite nice.

Chen Wanwan and another female comrade named Wu Yingqiu quickly tidied up the room.

There were no tables, cupboards, or chests in the room, so there was nowhere to put their things.

As Chen Wanwan tidied, she asked, "Comrade Lin, do you have someone here who can make chests?"

Lin Tang had guessed she would ask this, "Yes, you can ask the other comrades how many they need. I will arrange for the things to be brought over later. A chest is three yuan, and a wardrobe is five yuan."

The price she quoted was not expensive and was quite reasonable.

The Knowledgeable Youths needed large items, which meant getting wood from the mountains, which was quite troublesome.

She presented clear pricing without intent to deceive.

To avoid being accused of profiteering, Lin Tang had earlier had her uncle report her father’s status as a carpenter to the commune.

So now, the situation of Lin Lu taking on carpentry work was officially on record with the brigade.

He would do carpentry work for the brigade for free, but the majority of the earnings from private work went to himself.

She wasn’t afraid for people to know.

Chen Wanwan had some money in her pocket and didn’t find it expensive, so she immediately agreed, "Alright, I’ll go ask next door."

As soon as she finished speaking, she headed to the next room.

In no time, she was back.

When she returned, several male Knowledgeable Youths followed behind her.

Yu Feiyang said, "Comrade Lin, we heard from Comrade Chen that you can make stuff. Can you make a desk?"

They planned to pool money together to have a desk made as there were no tables in the room and that wouldn’t do.

Lin Tang replied, "Sure, a long table is five yuan, chairs are extra."

The long table was something she thought of on the spot after seeing the room where the Knowledgeable Youths were staying.

She envisioned a long type of table that could hold items as well as be used for reading and writing.

It should be space-efficient and practical.

Yu Feiyang was delighted with her answer, "We’ll take one long table. How much for chairs?"

"One yuan each for chairs."

Chairs could be made using leftover material from other tasks, so the price wasn’t too high.

After discussing for a bit, the male Knowledgeable Youth let Yu Feiyang speak on their behalf.

"Comrade Lin, we need five chests, a long table, three chairs, and two wardrobes."

Lin Tang quickly did the math in her head and said, "That comes to a total of thirty-three. I need to take half as a deposit. You understand, right?"

Yu Feiyang was impressed by Lin Tang’s ability to calculate the price on the spot.

Was this really just a country girl?! She was incredible.

He understood her point about the deposit and took out sixteen yuan and fifty cents to give to Lin Tang.

"Here’s sixteen yuan and fifty cents, please take care of everything, Comrade Lin."
