Chapter 11 Renting a House

After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at the brigade headquarters. There were five large tiled houses in a row. They walked into the middle one, which was about 50 square meters. There was someone working inside. The brigade leader called an old man in his fifties or sixties and said, "Secretary Wang, please register them. All the houses they rent are brick and tile houses." He turned around and asked Tang Yue and the others, "There are still more than a month and nearly two months to the autumn harvest. Do you want to deduct work points for the grain you are distributing now or buy it with money?"

Tang Yue replied, "I buy it with money, how about you?" In the end, they all bought it with money, "Okay, calculate what you want to buy, rice is 30 cents per pound, white flour is 28 cents per piece, sweet potatoes are 10 cents per pound, potatoes are 1.2 cents per pound, and coarse grains are 10 cents per pound

Finally, after discussing, the girls bought 40 catties of rice, 30 catties of flour, 30 catties of sweet potatoes, and 20 catties of potatoes, plus the rent for one year, a total of 87.8 yuan each. The boys bought 60 catties of rice, 60 catties of flour, 30 catties of sweet potatoes, and 20 catties of potatoes, plus the rent for one year, a total of 103.2 yuan each. The secretary wrote them a receipt, proving that from July 20th to July 19th of the next year, the house belongs to them, and they have the priority to renew the house. They put the receipt in their pockets. Tang Yue put it in her pocket and put it directly into the space from her pocket. There is no place safer than inside.

The team leader saw that they bought a lot and lent them a wheelbarrow. Tang Yue couldn't use it and she couldn't feel the weight in her hands. It was more troublesome for her to push the wheelbarrow. Xiao Jun felt that he had lost the opportunity to show his courtesy again. Others envied Tang Yue for her great strength. The team leader and the branch secretary were even happier to see this. To them, someone with strength might become a good farmer.

Back in the dormitory, the male educated youth helped the female educated youth carry the food into the house. Xiao Jun looked at Tang Yue and said, "Yueyue, let me help you carry it in." Tang Yue quickly refused, "No need, I can carry it, it's very light." After that, she quickly carried the food into the house. Xiao Jun was helpless. He felt that his strength was too great and there was no use for him, so he had to carry his own food into the house. After Tang Yue entered the house, she put the food beside the kang.

She had to buy furniture first before she could organize it. She counted the furniture she needed, took the money, took a lock from the space and went out.

She walked out of the house and locked the door, then went next door to ask Zhao Yingying if she was going. "Yingying, the house is empty. I want to go buy furniture. Do you want to go?" "Go, go. Wait for me, I'll be there soon." Zhao Yingying said as she came out of the house and locked the door. "Yueyue, I'll go call everyone. Everyone should buy something." "Okay, I'll wait for you." Zhao Yingying didn't need to shout much, she just shouted in the yard, "Do you want to go buy furniture?" Everyone who heard it responded.

Take the cart first. Xiao Jun saw Tang Yue holding the cart and quickly took it, "Yueyue, let me take it, don't get tired." Tang Yue didn't care about him and just took it when he wanted.

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, they saw the brigade leader locking the door. He must be preparing to go back for lunch. When the brigade leader saw the educated youth coming, he stopped and waited, "I was just about to call you. Come to my house for lunch today. You probably don't have time to cook now." When Tang Yue and the others heard the brigade leader say this, they asked, "Captain, where do you live?" "See the house at the front of the intersection? That's my home. Just follow the road." Tang Yue and the others looked in the direction the brigade leader pointed.
