Chapter 85: Settling Down

As soon as the teams were divided, the leaders of each production team immediately began to arrange for them to get on the carriages.

The production team could send a carriage to pick them up, which was already the highest standard of welcoming method sent by the production team.

Of course, that was also because the distance between these production teams was relatively far. If they did not have carriages, they would have to carry the luggage by themselves.

It was estimated that they might not be able to get there before dark.

Jiang Xiaoxiao did not say anything and carried her luggage on the carriage.

He Aiguo helped the two girls carry their luggage along the way.

Fang Peizhong did not come close to her, but got on another carriage directly.

And it was obvious that Fang Peizhong had made friends with other people last night.

There were two male educated youths who helped Fang Peizhong carry the luggage, but this one stood aside and watched like an old man.

It can be seen that the educated youths began to stick together.

But this had nothing to do with Jiang Xiaoxiao.

In fact, their 11th Production Brigade was also called the Red Flag Production Brigade.

The Red Flag Production Brigade was an advanced model in the entire production brigade.

After the carriage had traveled for two or three hours, they had already arrived at the brigade.

When Jiang Xiaoxiao saw the low houses, her eyes still moistened.

She had lived in this place for more than ten years, how could she not be familiar with it?

As soon as the carriage arrived, the production team leader jumped off the car, and other people from the production team, including some old educated youth, came to greet them.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu were assigned to one of the courtyards.

There were eight courtyards in this row, three for female educated youth, and the other five for male educated youth.

The dormitories in Kenqing Farm were generally very spacious, and they were not like other places.

More than a dozen people were crowded in one dormitory, with an average of only six people living in one dormitory.

And their houses were obviously renovated and looked brand new.

Of course, it was impossible to build a new house for them, at most the house was just painted.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu moved their luggage into their dormitory.

This big bunk bed.

This is a unique kang here.

Otherwise, the days in winter would be very difficult.

Because the two of them went in early, Jiang Xiaoxiao deliberately chose the side.

In fact, many people don't like this side.

Because this is the end of the kang, if you burn fire in winter, it's usually not as warm as the head of the kang.

People who are used to living here know that it's more comfortable to live at the head of the kang.

But Jiang Xiaoxiao doesn't like it.

When Jia Shu saw Jiang Xiaoxiao doing this, she immediately moved her bedding to Jiang Xiaoxiao's side.

After cleaning the bamboo mat on the kang, Jiang Xiaoxiao opened her bedding.

The bedding was newly made by her mother, and the quilts were all brand new, and they were all filled with thick cotton.

There was no place to put some of her own small things.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took a look and immediately took Jia Shu out.

While others were still busy packing their luggage, she had already taken Jia Shu to the service center of the production team.

Some basic daily necessities must be bought, such as washbasins and thermoses.

They couldn't carry these things all the way, and they were very easy to break.

The door of the service center was open, and it was crowded with people.

"I want a thermos."

"I want a washbasin and soap."

"I also want a thermos..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu smiled bitterly.

If you want to get in, you need to be strong.

The two looked at each other.

Forget it.

Don't buy anything and squeeze out another person.

Jiang Xiaoxiao changed her mind and pulled Jia Shu away.

"Where are you going? Xiaoxiao!"

Jia Shu staggered as she was pulled by her and could hardly keep up.

"Let's go find someone else to buy."

She had forgotten that the service center had things, but there was another place that also had things.

There is a school here, which has now been converted into a woodworking workshop.

A father and son live there.

They were sent down.

Anyway, their family background is not good, and the father and son are good at woodworking.

They build furniture for all the teams here.

Their skills are actually very good.

Feng Hongqi's original fine woodworking skills are useless here.

But she wants it.

Kang cabinet, wooden basin, wooden washbasin rack, and wooden thermos cover.

His skills are so good that it's scary.

She didn't know it until three years after she arrived here.

After seeing Feng Hongqi, he came to me out of gratitude.

I just realized that this guy has great skills.

No need to take a detour this time.

Jia Shu couldn't go with him.

The two of them came to the school's woodworking room.

This place is remote, and basically no one comes.

Those who work here are all labor reform elements.

So no one feels uncomfortable here.

What if they are accused of something.

They can't clear it up.

People who are undergoing labor reform here basically don't interact with others, and they are in a state of isolation.

The school's gate is locked with an iron chain.

Jia Shu was a little deterred when she saw the gate like this.

Did they break into a place they shouldn't be in?

"Uncle, uncle, is Uncle Feng here?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao shouted loudly without waiting for her to speak.

After a while, a man came out of the gatehouse.

He had a pencil on his ear and a pair of reading glasses.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled happily. Uncle Feng was an old acquaintance of hers, and he had helped her a lot in her previous life.

Although the old man has a stubborn temper, he has a good heart.

"Who is it?"

"Uncle, we are two newcomers to the Youth Service Center. We can't buy what we want there. We asked around and heard that you can do carpentry work here. We want you to help us make something.

We will pay you whatever you want."

Jiang Xiaoxiao said with a smile, not worried about being rejected at all.

Uncle Feng has been obsessed with carpentry all his life, pursuing high-end atmosphere, but after coming here, he has completely become a person who does simple work.

Only he knows the depression in his heart.

"What are you going to do? Let me see if I can do it."

Feng Hongqi is a down-to-earth person.

"Uncle, I want to make a kang cabinet, plus a washbasin, a footbath, a thermos stand and a washbasin stand. I heard that your craftsmanship is well-known here. You can make whatever style you like. I am not picky."

Feng Hongqi became excited when he heard it.

"Really not picky? Aren't you afraid that I will make you ugly and embarrass you when you go out?"

Feng Hongqi didn't know why this girl was so familiar.

She didn't show any restraint when she saw him.

She looked so smiling, as if she had known him for more than ten years.

Whose naughty child is this? Why hasn't her family taught her to be alert at all?

"I'm really not picky! I like whatever you make, but you have to be quick. I have to use this washbasin! It's okay not to wash your face for one or two days, but if you don't wash your face for three or five days, you really can't go out and see people."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was so happy.

"Although you are not picky, I have to be honest in my work. Let me open the door first, and you can come in and take a look. If you think these finished products are acceptable, I will make them for you.

If you think they are not acceptable, you can ask for them. Also, since you let me do it, I will provide all the materials and labor, but the price is not low, one yuan for a washbasin." Feng Hongqi did not show any sympathy for them because they were female educated youth.

The price should be paid!

His craftsmanship is good, and the wood is real. He Feng Hongqi is not the kind of person who fools people.

Of course, you get what you pay for.

He did not mention the money to make it clear, and if someone regrets it later, he will not be able to find a place to complain.

It has happened before. They made the finished products and took them away without paying a penny, and even blamed others.

They slandered themselves for speculation.
