Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 357: Exposing Zheng Pengcheng's Shortcomings

Zhou Mingxuan was wondering what kind of person Liu Jingxue was, and he wasn't listening to what they were talking about.

Zhao Junhao asked several times, "Mingxuan, what do you think?" but got no answer.

When he turned around, he saw that his good friend's eyes were fixed on one spot, as if he was daydreaming, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Zhao Junhao pulled Zhou Mingxuan's sleeve and said, "Mingxuan, Mingxuan, I'm asking you a question, why don't you answer?"

Zhou Mingxuan was woken up by Zhao Junhao, "Ah, what did you say? I didn't hear you just now."

"What are you thinking about so intently?"

“I didn’t think anything.

So, what did you ask me just now?"

"I asked you where you wanted to live, a dormitory or a single room.

I will listen to you." Zhao Junhao said.

Zhou Mingxuan had already made up his mind to build his own house and live alone, and not mix with the people at the educated youth site.

The letter his grandfather wrote to him also detailed the situation of the educated youth building their own houses.

But Zhou Wenbing did not introduce the situation of self-built houses just now. In order not to arouse suspicion, he asked casually,

"Zhou Zhiqing, just now you mentioned that some educated youth built their own houses and lived outside. Can we educated youth also build our own houses in the village?

Are there any conditions?"

When Zhou Wenbing heard this, it seemed that this man's family was well-off, otherwise they wouldn't have asked to build their own house right away.

“There are no conditions for self-built houses, but female educated youth are not allowed to build houses to live in for safety reasons.

Of course, if it is someone like Liu Jingxue, who can guarantee her own safety, then there is nothing to say."

"Then can we newcomers also build our own houses?" Zhou Mingxuan asked.

The captain at the side answered, "New educated youth can also do this.

The village will rent out a piece of residential land to the educated youth so that you can build houses.

Villagers can also help educated youth build houses, but the labor and material costs have to be paid by the educated youth.

In our village, when we hire someone to build a house, we usually provide a meal in addition to the wages. But for you educated youth, it doesn’t matter. You don’t have to provide meals, but the wages will be a little higher.

You don’t have to pay extra money to rent the homestead. After you return to the city, you just need to hand over the house you built to the village for free, and that will be considered the cost of renting the homestead.”

"So how much does it cost to build a house for one or two people?" Zhou Mingxuan asked.

The team leader replied, "A kitchen, a room, a toilet, a woodshed, a stove, a kang, and a cellar cost only more than 20 yuan.

Of course this does not include the furniture in the house, which will be purchased separately."

"What about adding another room and another kang?" Zhou Mingxuan asked.

"It's probably less than ten dollars more."

After listening to this, Zhou Mingxuan turned to Zhao Junhao and asked, "I don't want to live in the educated youth camp. I plan to build a house for myself.

Do you want to build a house with me and add an extra room, one for each of us, or do you want to find another plot of land and build another house for yourself? "

Zhou Mingxuan knew that Zhao Junhao definitely didn't want to live in the youth training center, so he didn't give him the choice of sleeping in a dormitory or renting a single room in the youth training center.

"I'll build it with you. Let's build an extra room so we can live together."

"That's fine."

Zhou Mingxuan looked at the captain and said, "Captain, please help us make arrangements and build a house for us.

Haozi and I are going to build two rooms."

As soon as Zhou Mingxuan finished speaking, before the captain could answer, Chen Jiaojiao spoke up.

"Zhou Zhiqing, why do you want to live alone? Isn't it better to live in the Zhiqing camp?

Even if you don't want to live with others, you can just rent a single room. Why spend money to build a house?

If you live outside, it will be inconvenient for us to visit each other in the future."

Zhou Mingxuan almost vomited.

"Chen Zhiqing, please be careful with your words and don't cause misunderstandings.

I just met you today and I'm not familiar with you. Why should I associate with you?

Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?

Please respect yourself."

"As for why I want to live outside and not live in the educated youth camp, I'm not afraid to tell you that I don't want to live under the same roof with him." Zhou Mingxuan pointed at Zheng Pengcheng.

He was thinking about how to disrupt Zheng Pengcheng's plan, so that he could not act nice in front of the educated youth and villagers, isolate him, and take the opportunity to plot against him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jiaojiao gave him a chance.

"I won't hide it from you, I have a grudge against Zheng Pengcheng, and it's a big grudge.

I was worried that if I lived with him, something that shouldn't be there would suddenly appear in my room, and then I would be reported and demoted, the whole process."

“I have been working for several months and do not meet the requirements to go to the countryside.

His family and mine have never gotten along well.

Relying on his family's influence, he registered for me to go to the countryside without even taking my household registration book.

My family only found out about this incident when we received the notification from the village. "

"Not only did he send me to the countryside, and to this cold place, he also came here with me.

I don't need to think to know what his plan is.

If I lived with him, I would probably have to sleep with my eyes open at night.

Otherwise, you might end up with your head and body separated one day." Zhou Mingxuan said exaggeratedly.

Zhao Junhao said, "I can testify that Mingxuan told the truth.

Zheng Pengcheng is not a good guy. "

“By the way, you have to be careful when living with him.

This kid comes from a family of scholars and is very good at telling tales and making reports.

Besides, this kid has a petty mindset that comes from his family. If you accidentally offend him one day, you never know how he will deal with you."

There was something wrong in the looks that the people present gave Zheng Pengcheng.

How could Zheng Pengcheng not notice the abnormality of the crowd? He became furious and glared at Zhou Mingxuan fiercely, wishing he could eat him.

Zheng Pengcheng said angrily, "Zhou Mingxuan, stop talking nonsense and ruining my reputation."

"I lied and ruined your reputation.

You dare to swear to the great man that it was not your family who secretly registered the village for me. "

"I admit that I secretly signed you up to go to the countryside, but I didn't do anything else, so I don't admit it," Zheng Pengcheng said.

"Oh, maybe I remembered it wrongly.

Your father and uncle got promoted not because their leaders were reported and had trouble, thus vacating their positions.

Your father and uncle made great efforts in investigating the affairs of their leaders, and thus were promoted.

What’s even more coincidental is that the person who reported it is related to your Zheng family.

It seems that your grandfather was able to make further progress because the person ahead of him was reported.

The person who reported it seems to have a past relationship with your Zheng family." Zhou Mingxuan said doubtfully.

"Maybe I'm old and I forgot.

It shouldn’t be like that.”

I watched the people around me move quietly and away from me.

Zheng Pengcheng roared, "Zhou Mingxuan, shut up."

The goal has been achieved, Zhou Mingxuan said readily, "Okay, okay, I'll shut up."
