Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 49 Living Next Door to the Boss
Xu Qinghuan didn't say anything. Yu Xiaomin smiled awkwardly and changed the subject, "Did your aunt go to the commune to buy or sell things?"

"A few eggs, traded for soy sauce!" Liu Cailing's eyes rolled and moved to Xu Qinghuan. "What are you doing here in our village, a young educated youth with such appearance? You can't carry anything with your shoulders or hands. Did your family send you money?"

Xu Qinghuan ignored him.

She continued, "You had quite a few educated youth here before, but they can't do the work anymore. There are quite a few young men in our production team who are good at work. My son Hu Qiang is a good worker and can handle any job..."

The tractor suddenly accelerated and jolted twice. Xu Qinghuan quickly grabbed the horizontal bar on the tractor. Liu Cailing was almost thrown off. She screamed in shock and cursed, "Xiaowu, how are you driving? I almost lost my life!"

Jiang Xingye glanced at her sideways. Liu Cailing didn't dare to say anything and shut her mouth. Finally, she had some peace and quiet.

The tractor stopped at the entrance of the brigade headquarters again. The man was dissatisfied and said, "Xiao Wu, please move the tractor a few steps forward. Are you worried that these two female educated youth will have to walk too much? They are so young, they are not as strong as my old aunt."

Jiang Xingye didn't say anything. He just turned off the tractor and walked away with his long legs.

Liu Cailing kept talking and chased Jiang Xingye for two steps. "Hey, Xiaowu, did you get into a fight again? Look at your clothes, why are the sleeves halfway down?"

Xu Qinghuan felt guilty, so he put the basin on his head, pretending to be a turtle, and quickly ran into the educated youth site.

The old educated youth were still working, and the other new educated youth were not at the educated youth site. Xu Qinghuan and Yu Xiaomin washed up and went into the city. They were exhausted and had no time to paste the walls, so they decided to take a nap first.

They slept until around four o'clock. Someone started coming back one after another, waking the two of them. Xu Qinghuan recovered for a while on the kang, and just as he was about to get up, he heard Chen Dewen calling out from outside, "Xu Zhiqing, Yu Zhiqing, are you there?"

Yu Xiaomin quickly got up and replied, "I'm here."

Chen Dewen said, "Then you two get up, we're going to get the food back."

Xu Qinghuan also got up and tied her hair into two loose pigtails. Yu Xiaomin saw this and was filled with envy. "Huanhuan, how did you braid your hair? It looks so beautiful."

"Wait until you come back, I'll teach you, it's very simple."

There is no girl who doesn't love beauty.

Yu Xiaomin said happily, "Okay!"

It was just the time to get off work. Three men and four women were walking in the team. They were handsome men and beautiful women, especially Xu Qinghuan, who was like a fairy who walked out of a painting. The eyes of the passing members were almost glued to her.

Xu Qinghuan frowned slightly. Chen Dewen and the other three male educated youths tacitly surrounded her to block out those curious, surprised, or obscene gazes.

When Lu Nianying saw this, she was so jealous that she went crazy.

She bit her lips tightly, but had to admit that no matter in appearance or figure, they could not compare with Xu Qinghuan.

Each person was given 30 kilograms of food, 10 kilograms of which were fine grains but cornmeal, and 20 kilograms of which were coarse grains, 10 kilograms of which were black flour and 10 kilograms of which were buckwheat flour.

Black flour is made from wheat bran. It is so rough that it scratches your hands and is irritating to the throat when eaten.

Seven people weigh a total of 210 kilograms.

Xu Qinghuan was asked to carry 30 kilograms of food and walk nearly 400 meters. It was not that she could not move it, but that she did not want to move it.

Fortunately, there was a cart in the warehouse, and Chen Dewen asked to borrow it. The group put their grain on the cart, and Chen Dewen pulled it, while Zheng Siqi and Dai Yifeng helped push it on each side. Although they had never done farm work before, they worked together to transport the grain to the educated youth site.

Chen Dewen was sweating profusely. Duan Qingmei heard the noise and came out with a watering can. "You haven't been to work all day, and now you're here to get food. We've already cooked the meal, but there's no share for you today. You can cook it yourself if you want."

After saying that, she glared at Xu Qinghuan fiercely, turned her head, swung her pigtail, and went into the house.

Several people looked unhappy.

Xu Qinghuan said nothing as he brought down his own food cart. He said, "You male educated youth helped haul the food over here, so we female educated youth can return the cart!"

"That's fine!" Chen Dewen didn't hesitate and asked Xu Qinghuan, "Do you want me to help carry it in?"

"No need, leave the cart here first, Xiaomin and I will go return it!"

She doesn't like to owe favors to others. Since she has gone to the countryside, she will do whatever she can by herself and doesn't want to take advantage of others.

The two went to return the cart, and on the way back they ran into the team leader, who called out to Xu Qinghuan, "Where have you been?"

"After receiving the food, let's go return the cart." Xu Qinghuan asked, "Captain, have you made any progress on the housing issue?"

The captain said, "I was just about to talk to you about this. They're willing to rent the house, and the rent is cheap, one dollar a month. What do you think?"

Xu Qingyue was overjoyed and quickly took out twelve yuan and gave it to the captain. "I'll rent it for a year. Do I need to write a contract or something?"

"Write one. Come with me to the brigade headquarters and I will write you a note." The brigade leader took the pipe in his hand and walked towards the educated youth point with it on his back.

The captain deliberately took a detour and when passing by Jiang Xingye's house, he pointed to the landlord's house next door and said, "Look, this is the house. It's quite large and several people live in it. It's been repaired every year, but no one lives in it.

If you move in, I will arrange for someone to repair the roof, doors and windows for you."

"Great!" Xu Qinghuan was also caught off guard. She didn't expect it to be such a house, with a proper brick and tile structure, and a very high wall made of stone. The door was a bit old, but it looked quite sturdy.

You can't see what's going on in the yard from the outside, which makes people feel safe.

The people next door heard the noise and came out. Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye exchanged glances, but he quickly looked away and walked over to call the captain, "Uncle."

Jiang Baohua smiled broadly when he saw Jiang Xingye, his face wrinkled with laughter. "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Jiang Xingye was quite obedient in front of Jiang Baohua, but still cold and indifferent.

"Come home and eat. Don't skip meals." Jiang Baohua glanced at Jiang Xingye's shoulder and pulled up his half-torn sleeve. "You didn't fight with anyone today, did you?"

"Ah."

Jiang Xingye glanced at Xu Qinghuan out of the corner of his eye. She was quite embarrassed. She really didn't mean it. Could she atone for her sins?

Fortunately, Jiang Baohua didn't say much, but instead said, "Xu Zhiqing wants to rent your house for one dollar a month. Here's twelve dollars. Keep it and write a receipt for him later."

"Ah, no, no, no thanks, no thanks." Xu Qinghuan didn't dare ask the boss to write a receipt, but his reaction was a bit too intense, which inevitably made people suspicious. He hurriedly said, "I think the money is not much, plus that, I believe in Comrade Jiang's character."

Jiang Xingye was indeed a little surprised, with a flicker of doubt in his dark eyes. However, Jiang Baohua, hearing people praising his nephew like this, immediately felt that this young educated youth had good taste. "Our Xiaowu, apart from other things, is a man of his word. There is no doubt about that. However, please write a receipt!"
