What about others? Patched cotton jackets and large crotch pants. These should be the craftsmen invited, that is, technicians.

There are also some female students wearing military uniforms or dressed like Lin Xiaoxing. Judging from their figure and temperament, they are probably from the art troupe of the factory.

In addition to those who crowded in to sign up, there were also family members like Lin Yutong waiting aside.

Even the whole family came here.

At this time, people had no idea of ​​eating from the public family. They only knew that if they followed them to the city, they could earn a living. It was better than farming in their hometown.

While Lin Yutong was standing, a tall and fat woman came over and greeted Lin Yutong: "...Sister, are you here with your man too?"

My man?

This title is... vulgar, but appropriate.

"Well." Lin Yutong responded loudly: "I came with my man. What about you? You came with me too?"

"No way." The man said, "As soon as I heard that he came to the city to work as a worker, my father immediately sent me to his house. His family was not happy... Damn it! I want to fly high.

Huh? It's a dream. I stayed at their house first, and then... followed her all the way. I still don't believe that she can send me back."

Why does it sound like this little wife is more tiger than Hu Niu?

Lin Yutong smiled along with him and stretched his head to look at the registration place. He was eager to know how this was arranged when the Fourth Master came back.

The little daughter-in-law laughed: "What's wrong? I just left my eyes and now I miss your man?"

This guy is full of dirty talk.

Lin Yutong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to talk, he heard the person behind him shout: "Hu Niu, is that you?"

Ouch! I still can’t get rid of this tiger girl’s name.

As soon as he turned his face, he saw Qian Siyuan standing not far away with a look of surprise on his face, "Is it really you? Where is the fourth child! Oh my god, I found it." He carried something.

He ran over, "Hurry up! Hurry up! Keep up! We're almost there."

Who is this called?

Looking up, isn't this Cheng Meini?

"You...you guys?" Lin Yutong pointed his finger between the two of them, "You two?"

"Isn't this the original engagement?" Qian Siyuan looked a little embarrassed, "She had to come with me."

Cheng Meini still looks like a beauty, but her clothes are indeed not as bright as before. Her clothes have also been patched, and she has become a dusty country girl. In addition, she has been driving all the way, and she is in embarrassment.

No. And because of various unpleasant things with the Lin family, I only raised my eyes when I saw Lin Yutong, and then lowered my eyelids.

Qian Siyuan put the things away and said to Cheng Meini: "You and Huniu stay here. I'll go and sign up first." As he walked forward, he muttered, "Oh my God, there's nothing like this.

Where do so many people live?”

This is what Lin Yutong wants to know.

Where do all these people live?

The fourth master was the first to come back. Seeing a man walking this way, the sultry wife asked: "Hey...is that your man?"

Lin Yutong nodded: "Yes! He is my man."

I have heard the Fourth Master call me anything, but I have never heard Tongtong say "my man" or "my man". When he came over, he said in a very meaningful way: "Your man is back."

To Lin Yutong's shame: "Hurry up and tell me how to settle down!"

Are you still embarrassed?

Seeing that there were outsiders, Fourth Master stopped teasing him and pointed to the vast grassland: "Those with family members can find a way to build a dormitory by themselves. Those without family members, there are eight people in a class, so they can find a way to find a dormitory by themselves."

"

ah!?

Fourth Master pointed to a relatively high place: "Did you see it? That's the dormitory area! Let's go."

Lin Yutong put away the pained expression on his face and chuckled: "Does that mean we have to build the factory dormitories ourselves?"

"Work hard and be self-reliant." Fourth Master pointed to the huge slogans on both sides, "Let's go and start everything from scratch. Hurry, let's try to pick a good place. I can't live here for a year or two."

It's really possible.

If you want to build a house, you should first build a factory. As for a place for people to live? What's the hurry? What's the point of having to suffer a little?

Lin Yutong thought this area was big at first, but now walking all the way, I just feel like I am looking at the mountains and running to death. There is a plateau at the top, and there are more puddles and swamps at the bottom. Since there are people living here, of course I have to choose a high place.

Got it.

It was easy to climb up, and there were quite a few people there.

With the advice of a kind person, the two of them first went to the material loan office to borrow tools, such as shovels, hoes, machetes, and the like. Then they could start work.

But what kind of house should we build? This is a question.

Digging a cave?

Some people do this, but Fourth Master is not prepared to do this. Both of them have lived in cave dwellings. They both know very well what kind of soil quality and soil layer can be used to dig cave dwellings. The fourth master knows the soil layer in this place.

I don't think it's very safe.

As we walked further, we saw that there were still people digging underground, hoping to dig a nest and cover it with dry grass, reeds, etc. to keep it warm in winter and cool in summer.

But you have to dig down at least two and a half meters. Can it keep it from getting wet?

Just by looking at the swamp in the distance, you can tell that the groundwater here is abundant. It must be wet down there.

You can't do this either.

The only thing that can be done is to build a shack.

It was difficult to even move my feet in the small shack, and my family couldn't bear the grievance.

If we want to take a ride, let’s take a good one.

It’s not easy to build a good one. There is a lack of wood around. At most, there are shrubs as thick as a child’s arm. And if you build a shack, you don’t have a bed. You have to sleep on the ground. This doesn’t seem to be too big compared to cave dwellings and underground dens.

difference.

After comparing, cave dwellings and underground nests are actually more reliable. At least there can be an earthen platform reserved inside for use as a bed.

Once the cave dwelling collapses, it must be buried in the soil. As for the underground cave, at least it has a self-built roof, so no one can be killed.

Lin Yutong said: "There is a moisture-proof mat in the mattress, so it's okay."

Then dig a nest in the ground.

It takes strength to dig a nest in the ground.

The fourth master refused to let Lin Yutong do it, so he said, "Go and cut some reeds, twist some hemp rope, and come back to weave mats."

That's right! Today's conditions require nothing. If you just make do with a shack, you can certainly get by, but if you want to be sheltered from the wind and rain, you have to spend some effort.

I was given a week to settle in, and I was given a month's salary of 20 yuan and 50 cents as settling-in expenses.

It sounds good, but what can you do with this little time and this little money?

Not to mention time, if it can’t be done, it won’t be damaged? Just squeeze it and you’ll get it.

But what about this money? If you use the money to buy a home, can you buy everything on that day? But this little money also includes the living expenses for this month? If you do the math, you will know that there are not many things you can buy.

Besides, who would be willing to spend money to clean up a nest in the ground?

You have to do it yourself.

In fact, cutting reeds, twisting hemp rope and making mats is not an easy task, it is also very trivial and time-consuming.

But you still have to do it!

Okay, put down your things, take the machete and use it as a sickle, and go cut the reeds.

On the edge of the depression below, there are thin, long and extremely tough reeds. Lin Yutong was not the only one to come up with this idea. There are many people who have thought of this. The newcomers didn’t know anyone.

They were all talking randomly. One person asked: "You are here too." The other person answered: "Can you come? Who knew this place doesn't even have a place to sleep."

Lin Yutong answered the same question a few times, and then someone shouted: "Sister, I've found you."

It turned out to be Biao's daughter-in-law who had spoken to her before. She responded: "Here we come. There are quite a few reeds here. Let's work together?"

"Okay!" The daughter-in-law said, "I borrowed a trolley and came over, and we can do it together." She ran over in a few steps and said, "Do you think we are destined to be together? My man just found a suitable place, but I walked to the side and

Look, isn’t that your man who’s doing the work? Oh, I’m so lucky, you girl, your man is really handsome.”

There were a few good-natured laughs all around.

This person spoke in a very loud voice, and she didn’t know what she was laughing at. She laughed a few times and then said: "We will all be neighbors from now on. You can call me Mrs. Zhang or Guilan. My husband's name is Zhang Baozhu..."

…”

A woman standing nearby said to her, "Then I'll call you Zhang Baozhu's family from now on!"

"Sure!" Guilan responded, laughing, and now she was chatting with someone again.

After waiting for a while, Lin Yutong heard someone ask Guilan: "Whose family does that little daughter-in-law next to you belong to? She's so handsome."

"Her husband is from the security department." Guilan introduced Lin Yutong with great enthusiasm, "You can call her from Jin Laosi's family, or Huniu."
