Chapter 541: 541 That female educated youth is crazy, right!!

Lin Tang liked people who were straightforward and easy to get along with.

For a moment, her impression of these sent-down youths improved considerably.

"It’s no trouble, someone will deliver them to you in a few days. You’ve bought a lot, so we’ll give you two extra buckets at that time."

The young people were delighted and broke into smiles.

"Then we’ll thank Comrade Lin in advance."

Lin Tang waved her hand slightly, "No need for thanks."

A done deal didn’t warrant any gratitude.

"Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be on my way."

The seven sent-down youths who had just arrived obviously had issues needing attention.

Chen Wanwan, as if afraid that Lin Tang would leave, grabbed her arm.

"Don’t rush off just yet, at least tell us about the village first. We don’t know anything."

Lin Tang didn’t like being grabbed by strangers and calmly pulled her arm away from Chen Wanwan.

After pondering for a moment, she said, "Have you guys finished unpacking? If so, I can show you around the village."

The sent-down youths felt that understanding the place where they were sent down to work was very important.

Ignoring the luggage they hadn’t yet unpacked, they nodded without any change in expression.

"All good, let’s go," Yu Feiyang said energetically.

Chen Wanwan’s contemptuous gaze swept over him.

Bullshit!

They hadn’t even made the beds, let alone cleaned the kang!

Making nonsense statements!

Lin Tang didn’t pay much attention and said, "Then let’s go."

After walking a few steps, she pointed to an empty space in the courtyard.

"Each household in the village keeps a private plot, you can till this courtyard and then plant vegetables."

All seven sent-down youths were educated urban youth who had never done farm work, let alone farming.

Staring at the dry yellow earth, they were utterly confused.

Chen Wanwan opened her mouth slightly, dumbfounded, "...How do we plant?"

First, you need to clear the land, right?

I don’t really understand.

Lin Tang glanced at her indifferently, "If you don’t know how to plant, go find the village women. They are all experts at growing vegetables, and they will be very willing to teach you."

Feeling that it wasn’t easy for these young people to come here and strive in an unfamiliar place, she offered a few more words of advice.

"Don’t be embarrassed. If there is anything you don’t know, just say it. At most, you’ll get a laugh or two, but that is not as important as filling your stomach."

She knew that the grain subsidy for sent-down youths was meager, and that small amount of grain wouldn’t even fill a young girl.

To feel full, they had to rely on themselves.

Having lived through famine, people understood the importance of food.

To Lin Tang’s kind reminders, they did not feel it was superfluous but instead took it to heart.

"Thank you, Comrade Lin. We understand; we are well-prepared," they said.

Lin Tang thought to herself, you don’t know that winter will come in a while, and life then will be tough.

Food to eat, cotton clothes to wear, firewood to burn... There are many necessities.

Hopefully, they could still say the same thing by then.

Fortunately, the village had income from the Sauce Factory, and by the end of the year, the selling of pigs and herbal medicine should ensure a stable winter.

While her mind was occupied with these thoughts, Lin Tang explained the brigade’s matters to the sent-down youths.

She mostly spoke of trivial things, such as where to fetch water, where the Warehouse was, where the grain-drying area was, and about some people the sent-down youths might often come into contact with... but she did not mention a word about things that were not to be mentioned.

Chen Wanwan and the others gained a relatively clear understanding of the Shuangshan Brigade.

They were especially grateful to Lin Tang.

"Comrade Lin, you’ve really gone out of your way today. Once we’re settled in, we’ll treat you to a meal," Yu Feiyang said.

Lin Tang declined with a smile.

"No need. It’s just what should be done. The Captain has other matters to attend to, so consider me here in his stead to welcome you all," she said.

They are all so carefree, she thought to herself.

Meanwhile.

Lin Fu, having completed the registration with Qian Dilai at the county’s sent-down youth office, brought her by ox cart to the Jianming Brigade.

Upon their arrival at the Jianming Brigade.

The sent-down youths there had already been settled for a while.

They had even begun to pick up cow dung.

The Jianming Brigade had received six sent-down youths, four men and two women.

The four male youths looked unhappy, one female youth was laboring while sobbing, and the other was working quietly.

Lin Fu glanced at the sent-down youths and had a good grasp of the situation.

He sought out the Brigade Captain Liang Zhenhai from Jianming Brigade, and with a smile, said, "You guys work so efficiently, already busy with tasks!"

Liang Zhenhai turned and saw him, his face blooming like an old chrysanthemum with a smile.

"That’s right; we let them start getting used to it."

It was better than letting these sent-down youths have the energy to create trouble and complain about this or that.

Liang Zhenhai didn’t voice his complaints but deftly changed the subject.

"What brings you here? Do you have some profitable venture in mind for us?" he asked half-jokingly, hope flickering on his face.

Lin Fu shook his head, revealing a wry smile.

"Not at the moment, but if there was, would I ever forget you?"

Their brigade seemed prosperous enough, with roads constructed, a Sauce Factory operating, a medicinal field, and well-fed pigs...

But the truth was.

After paying salaries from the Sauce Factory’s income, the portion allocated to each household wasn’t much.

And as for the rest.

The pigs weren’t ready for market yet, and it wasn’t time to sell the medicinal herbs.

They were struggling themselves, let alone having anything leftover for others.

No can do!

Disappointment flashed across Liang Zhenhai’s eyes, but he understood.

Smiling, he said, "It’s okay if there’s nothing. Just don’t forget our brigade in the future."

Lin Fu, relieved to see Old Liang wasn’t holding a grudge, replied confidently, "Don’t worry. I’d forget anyone but you."

After all, they were ’neighbors,’ and they would naturally remember to include them in any opportunity that came their way.

Contented with the assurance, Liang Zhenhai asked, "What brings you here, and who is that?"

He looked toward Qian Dilai, who was hustling toward one of the female sent-down youths.

Lin Fu looked resigned.

"That sent-down youth comrade isn’t fond of our brigade and insisted on coming to yours. So, I’ve just brought her over," he said.

Liang Zhenhai: "?!".

His mind was full of thoughts, "You’ve got to be kidding, right?"

People from Jianming Brigade were falling over themselves to get to Shuang Shan Brigade.

Here was a person who had the opportunity to stay but downright refused.

Must be insane!

The old man’s gaze grew a bit vacant.

"...Really?" he asked uncertainly for confirmation.

Lin Fu sighed, "What else could it be? Do you think I would joke about such a thing?"

Unwilling to deal with an unexpected issue, he wished it wasn’t the case.

He still wasn’t sure how the sent-down youths at Shuang Shan Brigade were being managed, and hoped no problems had arisen.

Liang Zhenhai also knew Lin Fu wasn’t one to bluff.

Even so, it made him believe even more that the female comrade had serious mental issues.

On a second thought.

These were people from other places, ignorant of the local circumstances, and he couldn’t blame them.

Choices were destiny, and he hoped that the female sent-down youth wouldn’t regret her decision in the future.

Liang Zhenhai shook his head and walked over.

After getting the details straight from Qian Dilai and accepting her documents, he said, "Alright then, you can stay."

Each brigade had a fixed number of sent-down youths.

Therefore, Shuang Shan Brigade would inevitably have to take in another person.

Before Lin Fu and Liang Zhenhai could discuss this matter.

The quietly working female sent-down youth straightened up her clothes, washed her hands, and stepped forward to volunteer, "Captain, I would like to go to Shuang Shan Brigade."

Thinking of the dilapidated cow shed where they lived, Zhu Lan’s vision darkened.

She had unintentionally heard one of the villagers mention that Shuang Shan Brigade was a prosperous brigade. Surely the conditions there had to be better than here, right?
