The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 19: The Educated Youth

Fang Xuhua returned to the educated youth station with a heavy heart. Seeing that the house was empty, he suddenly remembered that after the commotion this afternoon and the fact that there was no work today, everyone had gone to the county together.

He was originally supposed to go as well, but he was called by the team leader for a meeting. Thinking about what the team leader had said just now, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

Fang Xuhua had been in Dashan Village for four years now, always working diligently and earnestly.

As the leader of the educated youth station, he had always taken good care of the newer educated youths, and the relationship between the educated youth station and the villagers had always been harmonious. His role as the leader had been relatively easy. However, ever since those two female educated youths arrived, trouble seemed to follow them everywhere, and gradually, the villagers began to harbor grievances against the educated youths.

Xu Yue and Tian Juan, two educated youths from Beijing, were quite attractive, and naturally, the unmarried male educated youths were somewhat intrigued by them.

Fang Xuhua also took extra care of them, but ever since these two female educated youths arrived, they had complained about the food being unpalatable and the work being too hard. They would often slack off during work and get the young men from the village to help them. Once or twice was fine, but over time, the villagers began to have opinions about the educated youths, leading to frequent disturbances.

Today's incident was also caused by Xu Yue and Tian Juan complaining that the female dormitory was too small to live in. Anyone could see that they were deliberately causing trouble. Previously, seven people lived there comfortably. In the past two years, two female educated youths had married villagers, so it was impossible that five people couldn't fit.

Having been in this village for so many years, Fang Xuhua knew well that the atmosphere in Dashan Village was the best. The team leader was fair and just, the villagers were very kind, and on top of that, the county party secretary was from this village, so many resources were tilted towards this village.

He didn't want the educated youth station to be reassigned.

It seemed that he needed to deal strictly with the two female educated youths. If worse came to worst, he could report them. If they didn't want to live peacefully, they shouldn't drag others down...

By the time everyone from the educated youth station returned from the county, it was already dark. Finally, after stopping work for two days, those who lived nearby chose to go home, while most of them went to a state-owned restaurant to have a good meal.

When they returned to the educated youth station, they saw their leader sitting in the yard with a grim face. The male educated youth who lived in the same dormitory approached and asked, "Leader, what's wrong? Why didn't you go to the county in the afternoon?"

Fang Xuhua coldly glanced at Xu Yue and Tian Juan, saying, "The team leader talked to me today. If you want to live in a bigger house, pay for it yourself or negotiate with the villagers to rent together."

Tian Juan was stunned. She glanced at Xu Yue, and under her gaze, she spoke up, "Why? The team leader should build the house for us."

Fang Xuhua gave her an amused look. "Why should the team leader build a house for you?" After saying this, he was about to go inside.

Tian Juan wasn't willing to give up. She shouted, "We are urbanites sent by the state to support rural construction. If he doesn't even give us a decent place to live, how are we supposed to build the countryside?"
