Chapter 346 Construction
The evening is naturally a reunion carnival.
The entire Fang Village is now populated by Ning Yuan and his group of friends, plus more than 20 female educated youth.
Therefore, there is no such thing as everyone storing their own food.
The female educated youth who had been with Ning Yuan in Fu'an Township had long understood Ning Yuan's abilities and character, so they had no resistance to joining the gang directly.
As for the female educated youth in Fang Village, there is no need to say much about their original lives. They are grateful to have such conditions now, so they have no objections.
In other words, the dozen or so female educated youth from the two villages of Zhong Yuemin and Zou Cheng were still a little worried.
There were so many people together, more men than women, and they were all young people of similar age.
There is no plan or anything, and they are really worried about running out of money.
However, after Zhong Yuemin and Zou Cheng spoke to these female educated youth, they hesitated for a moment and then handed over their rations.
Zhong Yuemin said to them, "You all came here, so why don't you trust us? We are all one, and we won't starve alone!"
These female educated youth also made the same mistake when they thought about it.
Besides, what’s the point of them saving food for themselves? What if the men eat all their food and come to snatch theirs? They won’t be able to resist!
Just let it be, don't try to get yourself out of it, it's more reassuring to just "go with the flow".
After storing all the food in a large house in the center of the village, Ning Yuan also took the excuse of counting supplies to take out some food and other things from his space and put them in this room.
There was wine and meat in the dinner that night, and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks very much.
A new beginning always gives everyone some confidence and hope.
After eating and drinking and cleaning up the place, Ning Yuan took Zhong Yuemin, Zou Cheng, Zheng Tong, Fatty Fan and other close friends to the big house of the Fu family father and son.
The atmosphere was lively in the evening and everyone drank some wine, but due to the limited amount of wine, several people were still sober.
As soon as he entered the room, Fatty Fan jumped onto the bed.
Ning Yuan and the others also sat down by the bed or on chairs.
Zheng Tong boiled a pot of water in the outer room and poured a cup for each of his brothers to help them sober up.
Then everyone turned their eyes to Ning Yuan.
They all knew that there must be something to say since they called everyone here.
And it must not be a small matter. For big matters, we hold small meetings, and for small matters, we hold big meetings. Everyone understands that!
After taking two sips of hot water, Ning Yuan put down the cup and spoke to Zhong Yuemin, Fatty Fan and the others.
"Brothers, we have finally gathered here. We will be living here for quite some time, so I think we need to run this place well!"
Ning Yuan certainly knew when they would be able to return to the city, but could he say that now?
It is impossible for him to really make such a low-level mistake as, "Comrades, we have entered the second year of the eight-year war of resistance!"
Therefore, at this moment, we can only be vague and spend a lot of time to lay the groundwork.
Zhong Yuemin and the others also strongly agreed with Ning Yuan's words, and nodded frequently.
They don't even know how long this grand event will last.
Zhong Yuemin nodded and replied to Ning Yuan.
"We brothers have unconditional trust in you. If you have any ideas, just tell us directly. We brothers only have two words: do as we are told!"
Zou Cheng and Zheng Tong also nodded.
Fatty Fan was about to jump off the bed, thinking of sitting closer to Ning Yuan.
Zou Cheng saw that his movements were too strenuous, so he pushed him back onto the bed.
Ning Yuan continued to speak to them.
"Then let me tell you what I think. First, we must grow some of our own food. At the very least, we need to ensure self-sufficiency. We can't just rely on hunting to survive. After all, this kind of thing is not very stable!"
"That's no problem. The large piece of land east of the village can be used to grow crops. And although our village is surrounded by deep ditches on three sides, there's a water source in the back mountain. Irrigation and other things are no problem!"
For Zhong Yuemin and Zou Cheng, Fatty Fan was quite familiar with the overall situation of the village.
So when Ning Yuan said this, he immediately followed up.
"Yes, we need to open up the land east of the village. The climate here is much better than in our old city. Growing some rice and wheat is no problem!"
"The second thing is the issue of our accommodation. Although the house is big enough for everyone to live in now, since we plan to stay here for a long time, we can't just make do with it!"
After Ning Yuan finished talking about food, he started talking about accommodation.
In a person's life, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four most important things, and none of them can be compromised!
When this matter was brought up, Zhong Yuemin and the others all felt the same way.
These guys are different from those alley urchins.
When we were in Beijing, we all lived in large courtyards, with three or four bedrooms and a living room. They were spacious, bright and very comfortable!
But since moving to the countryside, a large group of people have been huddled in just a few houses.
It’s not that they dislike each other or anything. They are all brothers, how can they dislike each other?
He just felt uncomfortable living there. There was nothing he could do before so he didn't say anything, but now they are the ones in charge.
If you continue to treat yourself like this, it would be a bit unreasonable.
So, after Ning Yuan said this, Zhong Yuemin and his brothers raised their hands in agreement.
Zheng Tong adjusted his glasses and continued asking.
"Then what are you going to do? I've looked at all the houses in this village. There's no neat horizontal or vertical arrangement. They're all built haphazardly. If you want to tear them down and rebuild them, it's going to take a lot of effort!"
Zheng Tong likes to study the old building complexes in the old city, especially those that have not yet expanded to the third or fourth ring roads.
The inner city is arranged horizontally and vertically, with streets and alleys in an orderly manner.
This kind of thing, no matter how it is demolished or modified, is very convenient for planning, and will not affect the access to and exit of surrounding houses.
But what is going on here?
The houses are connected to each other, and many places have become dead ends.
Once that house is demolished, the houses inside will be blocked and unable to get out.
That's why Zheng Tong asked this question.
Ning Yuan nodded and then said.
"I've thought about this too. With housing being so tight right now, we can't just tear down the existing house and rebuild it!"
"Look, let's clear a piece of land near the old Jingou in the back mountain and build a row of houses there. It's also close to Jingouzi, which makes it convenient for us to mine!"
Zhong Yuemin was not listening carefully at first, until Ning Yuan mentioned the gold mine, he immediately reacted.
