Chapter 358 The Headache Captain
Zhou Mingxuan was not angry even though Zheng Pengcheng yelled at him to shut up.
In order to avoid giving Zheng Pengcheng a chance to argue, Zhou Mingxuan turned to look at the team leader, "Team leader, can you help me find a quiet place away from the educated youth site to build a house?"
The captain glanced at Zheng Pengcheng and understood what Zhou Mingxuan meant, "Okay, no problem.
When you go to the brigade headquarters to handle the formalities and borrow food, I will take you to choose a residential plot.
But I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while before we can build the house.
Now is the busy time of spring farming, and I cannot spare any manpower to build your house. It is estimated that it will take until the end of this month to arrange it.
For the next one or two months, you two should rent a single room.
When you go to the brigade headquarters to handle the formalities, you will complete the procedures for renting and building a house at the same time, and pay the money for building the house first."
"Okay, no problem," Zhou Mingxuan agreed readily.
The captain looked at Zheng Pengcheng and Chen Jiaojiao, "What are your plans?"
"Captain, I can just live in the big bunk bed.
Since we are here to build a new countryside, we must share the joys and sorrows with the villagers and cannot just live in a single room for the sake of comfort." Chen Jiaojiao said.
Hearing her words, Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun, who lived in a single room, rolled their eyes.
If you don't have money, you don't have money. Why are you looking for high-sounding excuses?
Let's see how you can share the joys and sorrows when you go to work in the fields.
It seems that this Chen Jiaojiao is another troublesome person. When Da Li, Feng Chunyan and Liu Zhaodi come back, I have to have a good talk with them and tell them to be careful of Chen Jiaojiao.
After all, this person will live in the same dormitory with them in the future.
And this guy named Zheng also needs to tell them what Zhou Zhiqing said so that they can be prepared.
At this time, Zheng Pengcheng was thinking hard about how to refute Zhou Mingxuan's words.
Although the things Zhou Mingxuan said were known to everyone in the Beijing Military District compound, he had never thought that his family had done anything wrong.
But now that he has arrived in a new place, without the support of his family and a group of lackeys surrounding him all day long and doing things for him, he feels a little alone.
He had originally planned to establish a good image for himself here so as to win over some people to work for him, but he didn't expect that Zhou Mingxuan was so useless and exposed his past as soon as he arrived.
What if other people listened to Zhou Mingxuan's instigation, stayed away from him, and refused to accept his solicitation?
The plan was disrupted and Zheng Pengcheng was a little at a loss.
Seeing Zheng Pengcheng lost in thought and not answering the captain's question, Zhou Wenbing hurriedly asked again,
"Zheng Zhiqing, are you going to build a house to live in alone?"
To be honest, after hearing what Zhou Mingxuan said and seeing that Zheng Pengcheng did not deny it, Zhou Wenbing didn't want to let such a person live in the educated youth camp.
I want him to build his own house and live in it.
However, his hopes were dashed.
Zheng Pengcheng replied, "I can just rent a single room."
According to the Zheng family's plan, Zheng Pengcheng's going to the countryside was just a formality, and he would join the army in a year or two.
If he could get rid of Zhou Mingxuan here, or even use it to leverage the Zhou family, he might spend less time in the countryside, so he didn't plan to spend that money to build his own house.
After all, I don’t know how long I can live here.
"Okay, then Xia Zhiqing and Zhang Zhiqing, you two take Chen Zhiqing to the room with the female educated youths.
The three male educated youth went to the left and each chose a single room to settle down.
I'll give you one day tomorrow to buy things, and then you can start work with the others the day after tomorrow morning."
"Zhou Zhiqing, I told them about the situation in the village. I'm afraid they didn't remember it. Please tell them again.
Once they are settled, you can bring them to the brigade headquarters to see me, borrow food, and go through all the formalities."
"Okay, Captain," Zhou Wenbing replied.
Knowing that the team leader would go to pick up the educated youth in the afternoon and asked Zhou Wenbing to return to the educated youth point before four o'clock, Liu Jingxue left the space at four o'clock in the afternoon and used her spiritual sense to investigate the situation in the village.
Before the captain entered the village, her spiritual sense discovered him first.
Liu Jingxue's spiritual sense saw clearly everything that happened at the educated youth point.
To be honest, after hearing about the troubles facing Zheng Pengcheng and the Zheng family behind him, Liu Jingxue felt a little resentful towards the Zhou family.
With such a person following him, why did they arrange Zhou Mingxuan to the Red Star Production Brigade?
They were so sure that Zheng Pengcheng would not discover the relationship between Zhou Mingxuan and Old Wu, and would not discover that Zhou Mingxuan had any dealings with the people in the bullpen.
If Zheng Pengcheng found out, everyone in the bullpen would be implicated.
Are they asking Zhou Mingxuan to come and take care of the old man, or to cause trouble?
I hope Zhou Mingxuan will be more sensible and not contact the people in the bullpen and not come to the bullpen before dealing with Zheng Pengcheng.
After the team leader returned the ox cart, he went to the team headquarters.
“The new educated youth have been brought back.
How many people are here this time?" Secretary Xu asked when he saw his old partner coming in.
The captain replied, "Four, three men and one woman."
"Oh, our production team is quite lucky this time, as we have so many male educated youth assigned to us.
This should be a good thing, why are you still looking so unhappy?" Secretary Xu asked curiously.
"What's good? I'm afraid we're in trouble this time," the captain sighed.
Secretary Xu asked in confusion, "Where did this come from?"
The team leader then told Secretary Xu about the group's performance on the road and what Zhou Mingxuan said at the educated youth site.
“Originally, I was glad that the three people who came were male educated youths, who were in good physical condition and thought they should have no problem doing the work.
Now, after hearing what Zhou Mingxuan said, two big troubles have come.
The families of these two people were not on good terms with each other, and Zhou Mingxuan was framed by Zheng Pengcheng and sent to the countryside, so the two of them were bound to fight.
The Zheng family are all that kind of people. They follow suit and do the same thing as his family, reporting and framing others.
If the two of them start fighting, other people might be implicated.
This way, our production team can have peace of mind."
Secretary Xu frowned, "It's just like you said, big trouble has come.
Why is our production team so unlucky?
In the past, there was always a guy named Xin who was oppressing us. Finally, his past was exposed and he was shot. We thought that our production team could finally live a stable life.
Now, there are two more such people.
These two people are from Beijing. Judging from their tone, they seem to be from prominent backgrounds and their families are quite powerful.
Why don't you go somewhere else, but come here and fight with us?"
"Who says it isn't?
Judging from what Zhou Mingxuan said, their coming here was all manipulated by the Zheng family."
"It sounds like the Zheng family isn't a good group of people, just like the Xin family.
But the one with the surname Zhou seems more decent."
"I don't care who is good or bad, who is right or wrong, these have little to do with us.
I just hope they can be quiet and not disrupt the peaceful life of our production team." The team leader gritted his teeth.
“The man named Zheng is probably from that faction. We need to warn those people in the bullpen.
Lest Zheng find anything unusual and report us again." Secretary Xu reminded.
"You are right to remind me, I will go find them and talk to them later.
Let’s spread the story about the Zheng family that Zhou Mingxuan mentioned, so that the villagers can be on guard against this Zheng family and keep an eye on him to prevent him from doing anything bad.”
"That's a good idea, let's do it."
