Chapter 503: Chapter 504 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 21_1

Shen Jie merged into the crowd and noticed that there were not as many people as she expected, "I remember it seemed like there should be more people at the exit."

Shen Jie wasn’t entirely sure either, looking at Feng Dan with a puzzled expression. The latter nodded, "There were a lot of people."

How come there are only so many now? Although there were at least a hundred people, it still shouldn’t be just these.

Huo Lei and Zhao Yu also visibly noticed the decrease in people. What’s going on?

"Could it be that someone read a list?" Zhao Yu thought about the matter of dividing into squads, it couldn’t be just a one-time announcement, there could be people with the same names, it should have been a posted notice.

Just as they were about to look for a list, someone stopped them, "No names were called, they just divided people on the spot."

The person’s face was full of envy, "Those who came early were assigned to squads close to the site."

The person regretted after thinking, "If I had known this is how it was going to be, I really should have run faster."

At least not ending up in the back, but seeing that there are still people who just arrived, he felt fortunate to be assigned to Squad 8, which was not bad already.

Ah, dividing like this? Shen Jie’s first reaction was, isn’t this a joke?

Who divides like that? Zhao Yu was also a bit angry and was about to say something, but was pulled back by Huo Lei.

Huo Lei gently shook his head at his friend. Although everyone here were recent graduates and seemed nice, you can’t judge a book by its cover; who knows the details about the others.

Zhao Yu couldn’t help but exhale in relief. Things had been too peaceful these days; he didn’t even realize he needed to be slightly cautious.

"Right, why hasn’t anyone come to divide us into squads?" Since it was about dividing upon arrival, why was there no one sorting squads now?

The look given by the person was pitiful, "The person in charge had to leave early due to some affairs, because you newcomers are for the newly-created Squads 11-15."

"It’s said to be five squads, but because the soil quality is good there and there are not many places suitable for building houses, the accommodation will be built together."

"After getting there, we’ll divide into squads." The person paused, as there was no way to change the overall situation, mentioning some details in advance was fine.

"I heard the houses there aren’t completely built yet; many are just straw huts."

As he was about to say more, the vehicle to take them to their squads arrived, and people swiftly moved toward the truck with their luggage.

Watching the agile movements of the person, "One might regret later, if only I had been quicker in the beginning, I definitely could have been in the first squad." Shen Jie was certain the person was not lying.

The others didn’t expect Shen Jie to remain so calm after hearing those words.

"Xiao Jie, the houses aren’t built yet, we have nowhere to live, don’t you worry?" Feng Dan couldn’t believe they encountered such an issue.

"Is worrying useful?"

"Also, I believe the farm will definitely work hard to build houses for us, trying to finish by October."

The winter in the Northeast is no joke, and if by that time they were still sleeping in straw huts, it would be a big problem.

"Some things, the leaders are more anxious about than us, and I know that straw huts are cool in summer and warm in winter."

Brick houses are good, they won’t constantly have things falling from above like straw huts, but they can’t achieve the comfort of being warm in winter and cool in summer; they are only structurally solid.

"Plus, we can at least try to get assigned to the same squad." Shen Jie was concerned about this aspect.

After Shen Jie’s words of reassurance, Feng Dan immediately felt a lot better, "Right, at least we are in the same squad."

Zhao Yu agreed repeatedly, nodding. The things he was worried about before didn’t matter anymore; he was happy.

The four of them rested for a while at the site and then boarded the truck, setting off toward the place where they would be striving for the next few years.

The truck seemed to drive on roads adjacent to crops, and one could visibly see fields of lush green crops and mountains nearby and in the distance.

This excited Shen Jie; in everyone else’s eyes, they were just mountains, but to Shen Jie, they were treasure troves waiting to be explored.

Too bad she didn’t know how to hunt, otherwise an occasional hunting trip up the mountain could at least improve their diet a bit.

The look on Shen Jie’s face caught the attention of the others, and Zhao Yu whispered into his friend’s ear, "I would bet this girl is definitely thinking about delicious food."

After traveling with her for so long, they had seen countless times how Shen Jie gazed at food.

Huo Lei actually shared the sentiment but still stopped Zhao Yu from continuing.

"Don’t you also think about delicious food?" Ever since he learned they were coming to the Northeast, Huo Lei didn’t know how many times Zhao Yu had bragged to him.

Constantly talking about how they would hunt in the mountains to improve their meals after arriving in the Northeast, he had heard it countless times.

Now seeing him tease Shen Jie like this, Huo Lei felt his friend might be kicking against the pricks.

Zhao Yu thought he was speaking in a whisper, but he forgot that, worried about not being heard over the truck’s speed, he ended up speaking louder than intended.

Shen Jie overheard Zhao Yu’s whisper, and of course, she took note of it mentally.

Knowing Zhao Yu was a good and helpful person, it was just that sometimes what he said could be a bit upsetting.

It didn’t matter, Shen Jie thought, even if they weren’t in the same squad in the end, they would at least be in the same living quarters.

She didn’t believe she wouldn’t find a chance to retort; huh, as if he didn’t love eating himself.

Seeing Shen Jie’s indignant look, and then looking at his friend who seemed oblivious, Huo Lei could guess that unless his friend didn’t fall into Shen Jie’s hands, there would be no sweet fruits for him to eat.

But to remind him of such a thing, Huo Lei wouldn’t bother, especially as he thought it might be good for his friend to suffer a little bit.

Having lowered their expectations, when they got off the truck and saw many straw huts, they weren’t too disappointed.

Of course, there were brick houses that were built, just not many; many were merely at the foundation stage.

"There are also brick houses that are built." It wasn’t just one kind person; there were many who enthusiastically shared the situation with the new squads.

The current situation was already many times better than what everyone had anticipated.

"It’s just not known whether we can move in." Someone mentioned softly while carrying their luggage.

At that moment, a middle-aged man walked over, "Hello everyone, my name is Guo, and I am currently the squad leader for Squads 11-15."

Since it was a newly cultivated area and missed spring planting, the squad’s goal for this year was to construct the houses and other basic infrastructure.

As for the crops planted in the fields, they were all vegetables and other crops with short growth periods so as not to waste the newly reclaimed land.
