The car stopped, and Fang Yu and Lei Chun were already waiting by the roadside.
Xu Mei immediately shut up and didn't mention it. Although she knew Fang Yu and Lei Chun, she wasn't very familiar with them, and she wasn't close enough to talk to them about their true feelings.
The two of them squeezed together, but fortunately they were not fat, so they squeezed into the passenger seat together.
If Hua Zhao was driving today, he would have accommodated them, but today it was Liu Ming who was driving. There were several other people accompanying the children, and Hua Zhao was the only one here.
He was the only one left and he had to follow.
Fang Yu and Lei Chun started chattering after getting in the car. They hadn't seen Hua Zhao for several months.
A few people arrived at the place laughing and joking all the way.
Hua Zhao was really happy to have invited her best friend out to play, and she was even happier when she brought along the cute little Shenxing who looked like a plush pendant, and looked at his cute smiling face.
The agreed location is a village at the foot of the mountain, with houses made of stone. From the perspective of future generations, this is a unique "ancient village", and this small village is worth visiting.
But the most important thing now is to settle down.
Several people walked towards the village chief's house.
Ye Li said that Teacher Tao contacted the village chief and arranged accommodation.
Otherwise, there would be no hotel in this deserted mountain.
However, Ye Li's car is not as good as a private car and they haven't arrived yet.
The village chief had been waiting for these students who were full and had nothing to do. Hearing that Hua Zhao was together, he didn't doubt it. He just thought they were teachers and came first in a small car.
He took people to a large stone courtyard.
The yard is quite large, more than two acres, and has two rows of stone houses.
"Is this a primary school in the village?" Hua Zhao asked.
Tao Lan's relationship wasn't very good either. She thought he could arrange a B&B for everyone, but he arranged for them to stay at a fellow villager's house, but in the end he arranged for them to stay at school?
This is going to freeze people to death.
"No, this was the former educated youth spot." The village chief said, "The educated youth have all left, so this place is empty."
There are only about thirty households in their village, and no one has an extra kang to accommodate dozens of people.
It’s not enough to install just a few in one house.
How can those college students in the city take a fancy to their crumbling earthen kang? It’s not disgusting.
The most important thing is that no one has extra bedding. If you kindly give it to others, you will have to freeze. In such a cold weather, freezing all night is no joke.
Besides, these city dwellers will definitely dislike their quilts.
The village chief had already led a few people to a door. When he pushed it open, he felt hot air hit his face.
There was actually a woman burning a kang in the house. When she saw Hua Zhao and his party, she smiled shyly, then quickly burned the last bit of grass, swept the floor clean, and then quietly went out.
"Teacher Tao told me a few months ago, and we started cleaning up the house. This kang will be burning all winter, so I guarantee it won't get cold!" said the village chief.
Hua Zhao was a little surprised. Tao Lan had the energy to direct them?
She looked around the room. Not to mention, it was quite clean.
The earliest educated youths who joined the team lived in the homes of fellow villagers. They ate and lived together and paid for their meals.
Then there were many contradictions.
Later, a policy was issued to establish educated youth centers, so that educated youths no longer live and eat with fellow villagers, and conflicts were reduced.
The establishment of educated youth centers is a policy and the state pays for it, so the ones built are generally better.
For example, while others live in mud houses, the educated youth can live in brick houses.
Although the outside of the house in front of me is made of stone, the inside also has cement walls, plastered with lime, which is clean, airtight and very warm.
Only then did Hua Zhao give up the idea of returning home.
If this was school, she really couldn't live there.
Several people looked at other rooms. This dormitory is divided into male and female dormitories, with one row south and one row female.
Each room is the same size, with five or six people sleeping on a single bed.
Hua Zhao chose the cleanest room.
"Well, there are chickens in the village, which cost ten, ten yuan each, and eggs, which cost 2 cents each, and milk! They cost 1 yuan a pound, as well as rice, noodles, vegetables and so on..." The village chief looked at
Hua Zhao stuttered and said.
Hua Zhao smiled, she understood why Tao Lan was able to boss them around. Apart from the small accommodation fee, it turned out to be profitable.
But this is all as it should be.
"Then let's eat chicken stewed with mushrooms tonight. Let's start with two chickens and a pound of mushrooms, right?" she asked the village chief.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The village chief was immediately overjoyed.
Good guy, I really want 10 yuan! And I only eat two in one meal without bargaining, what a waste of money...
But anyway, it was not his family that was defeated, so he immediately went out happily and prepared to go.
The income from one meal is the income of their family for half a year, and dozens of students will come soon for three days of food and accommodation!
Teacher Tao is right, he really gave their village a way to make money.
Hua Zhao shook his head and laughed. It has been open for three or four years, but the wind is too far away to reach these poor mountains and ravines.
Moreover, in 1982, their village may have just implemented household responsibility system, had just got out of the big pot, and was very poor.
I would be extremely happy if I could make dozens of dollars a year.
But Tao Lan was able to do this, pick a suitable village, and start planning a few months ago, which surprised her.
This time, she wanted to take a good look at this person.
She didn't know why, but she couldn't forget his... face since the last time she saw him.
