Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073: New Educated Youth

The meeting was scheduled for nine o’clock, and Peng Chong was at his wit’s end, but it was assigned from above, and there was no choice but to accept it.

He bluntly announced and then started reading the list. Li Yungui glanced at the ten people standing beside him, then looked at the fifteen people beside Wang Shulin and thought about the advantages of a small village.

It was obvious to spot the differences in those three young individuals.

Li Yungui sucked on his teeth; none of them looked honest.

He really didn’t want such people, but he couldn’t make the decision.

”Director Peng, why does Li Family Village only have ten people? Every time they’re the smallest group?” Tang Manyin was very dissatisfied.

Li Yungui thought, Tang Manyin has gotten off lightly; it seems there’s still time to wander around Tangjiazhuang.

”Li Family Village’s population is just that, and there’s a limited amount of land.”

Peng Chong explained again, holding back his anger.

Li Yungui quickly added, ”If any village neighboring Li Family Village is willing, they can give us two thousand acres of land, and then I’ll accept your village’s educated youth from now on.”

With just one sentence from Li Yungui, immediately no one jumped out to make a fuss.

”Also, I don’t want Tangjiazhuang’s land for free; I’m afraid it won’t be managed. The grass in the fields is taller than the crops.” Li Yungui didn’t leave any face for Tang Manyin at all.

Wang Shulin burst into laughter right away; wasn’t that just like Li Yungui said?

Tang Manyin gritted his teeth in frustration on the side. However, what was said was indeed true, leaving no room for rebuttal.

But Xing Xiangzhang heard their conversation; everyone had already taken the educated youth home, leaving only Tang Manyin behind.

Very seriously, he told him, if he couldn’t manage well, he would be replaced.

Tang Manyin was extremely irritated; whenever he ran into Li Yungui, there was never anything good.

However, looking at the township chief’s expression, he also knew that those above were already very dissatisfied with him. So he walked with a long face, followed by the thirteen educated youth, all of whom were in despair.

Originally they had dreams of dedicating themselves to rural life in the countryside, but the further they went, the more desolate it became, engulfed in regret.

To run into such village cadres, and hearing that the wild grass is taller than the crops, they knew that endless labor awaited them.

Li Yungui still instructed the ten of them to load their luggage onto the ox cart, and he led the old partner along, with these ten young people following behind.

It was already eleven in the morning, the hottest part of the day, but there was no choice; they couldn’t wait for it to cool down, could they? Even if they had such thoughts, Village Chief Li wouldn’t agree.

This time among the ten people, there were six boys and four girls. The two lonely girls kept their distance from the group.

Two of the four girls paired together. No one spoke along the way, they were all discouraged.

The boys were slightly better and didn’t seem unapproachable.

Wang Menglin had no heart to speak anymore. Is this the ”good place” Jin Erlin talked about? Ridiculous! There’s no village ahead or shop behind, and she will have to live here?

She originally was the pampered daughter of the family, but her mother’s health was poor, and she passed away when she was ten.

Her dad brought home a mother and daughter within a month; the girl only months younger than herself was obviously dad’s child.

For Wang Menglin, it was a complete shock.

Fortunately, her grandpa and uncle were capable, so her dad presumably didn’t dare to bring people home or talk about leaving her mother.

Her uncle directly took her away, and she only saw her dad once a year during New Year’s.

But her uncle and grandpa faced some issues this time and directly sent the three of them away.

Her cousin and cousin came along, making her feel slightly better, otherwise, she’d absolutely refuse to come.

Thinking that the man didn’t even come to see her go to the countryside and only sent a thousand yuan and some tickets.

At that time, she really wanted to burn it all, but her cousin stopped her. After all, there’s no need to quarrel with money.

However, she also won’t let him have it easy; she directly sent a letter of accusation, so she’s not afraid he can live carefree.

Tao YanZhen noticed her cousin’s anger and patted her arm.

Wang Menglin slumped her shoulders; now she had no choice but to live here for a while.

However, her uncle said arrangements were made on this side; Jin Erlin built a new house for the three of them, and it’s all tidied up.

Because the old ox moved slowly, and Li Yungui cared for them, it took more than an hour to get home.

He directly took them to the educated youth point.

”Alright, there are only separate dorms for males and females here, you arrange yourselves.”

Xu Chunshan, you cook for them, let them claim their rations in the afternoon.

”Village Chief Li, our relatives have already arranged a place for us.” Tao Chunhe hurriedly spoke.

”Yes, a house has already been built, with three kids, who are they?”

The three stepped forward.

”Alright, eat first, and I’ll come over to take you there later.”

”Village Chief Li, no need, we’ll go directly back.”

Li Yungui looked at these three who were so unapproachable and helpless; they weren’t willing. You can’t force a cow to drink by holding its head down, can you?

”Alright, Xu Chunshan, take care of those seven, you’re all educated youth, be united and friendly.”

”Yes, Village Chief Li, I’ll go cook immediately.”

Li Yungui set things up here, with no mood to watch them get to know each other, he couldn’t recognize anyone. Only the three left an impression.

The seven moved their luggage, led by Yan Shuping into the house.

Shen Youjun took five male educated youth into the house.

Tao Chunhe and the other two followed Li Yugnui to the house built by Jin Erlin.

Wang Menglin felt somewhat better seeing this house. Amid the low thatched houses, this house stood out like a crane among chickens.

Li Yungui took out the key, with a new lock and two keys, directly handed it to Tao Chunhe.

”The keys are here, you keep them. I’m not going in, arrange yourselves, pick up your rations at the brigade headquarters at two in the afternoon.”

”Thanks, Village Chief Li.”

Li Yungui waved his hand, led the ox cart to the livestock barn, and didn’t go home for lunch but gave the old partner water, filled with hay, and then went home.

The family awaited him for lunch because Cheng Lin who was playing outside knew his dad returned.

Today’s lunch at home was leek and shrimp skin stuffed steamed buns with dough made from mixed grains.

After getting home, Li Yungui gulped down a big bowl of cool water, feeling comfortable. The kids were waiting for him to eat.

”Dad, I saw those ten educated youth. There’s nothing different about them.”

”Cheng Lin, keep your distance from them and Hongling.”

”I know, we can’t play together anyway.”
