For some reason, Xia Jun felt an inexplicable sense of vigilance when she saw Song Yingwan.
Xia Jun tried hard to suppress this strange feeling and smiled: "We are all going to Beicheng. It would be better if we could be assigned to the same place."
"Well, we can take care of each other then." Tang Xiaotang frowned.
The train didn't arrive at the station until noon the next day. Song Yingwan almost vomited because the train smelled mixed and there was no ventilation.
The train only went to the city, but they also had to take a bus to the county, which was another period of excitement.
Fortunately, Song Yingwan didn't bring much luggage, so he could still bear it, but he was also very tired. Those who brought big and small bags were the ones who suffered the most, but there was nothing they could do about it. They were all poor these days, so they could save money if they could. Just to save money, I brought everything I could from home.
When they arrived in the county, all the educated youths gathered together first, then went to the commune together, and then waited for the various brigades in the countryside to pick them up.
The captains of several brigades gathered together and muttered and didn't know what they were talking about. They were the village chiefs of each village. After waiting for the boss for a while, no one came. Song Yingwan was a little impatient when he saw the man on the train. The round-faced girl moved over slowly.
"Hello Song Zhiqing, I'm Tang Xiaotang, we were in the same carriage just now." The little girl bent her eyes and had slight dimples on her face when she smiled, which made Song Yingwan's mood brighter.
"Hello, I remember you." After Song Yingwan came, she felt the sun was too strong, so she found a shady place to stay. She just saw this little girl standing there alone, and she didn't say anything when she saw anyone. Smile at people.
Song Yingwan didn't expect that she would come to him. She happened to be a little bored here alone. It would be nice to have someone to talk to, not to mention being away from home, having one more friend could help each other.
Tang Xiaotang felt a little uncomfortable standing there alone. After all, she didn't know anyone here. It was the first time that she was so far away from home, and she couldn't go back in a short time. She still felt a little sad, even though she was smiling on the surface. of.
But when she turned around, she saw the girl in the same carriage as her. Tang Xiaotang still remembered that her name was Song Yingwan, and felt that she had an inexplicable attraction. As soon as he saw her, she made people feel calm and gentle. Tang Xiaotang started from the first moment. I remembered her immediately.
"I wonder where we will be assigned?" Thinking of this, Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh.
Song Yingwan shook his head, "I don't know either, it depends on the situation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the captains were finally willing to come over. After they arrived, they started ordering people without any nonsense. Song Yingwan already knew where he was assigned, so he was not in a hurry. Tang Xiaotang seemed very nervous. From time to time he stood on tiptoes and looked around.
After the people were settled, each brigade did not waste any time and called the educated youths to get on the bus and go back.
They were quite destined. Tang Xiaotang and Song Yingwan were also assigned to the same place. There were a total of seven female educated youths, including Xia Jun on the train, and another female educated youth named Qu Xiaoling, who came from Haicheng. .
There are five male educated youths. One of them attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared. He was wearing a white shirt, suit pants, and leather shoes. When anyone spoke to him, he would smile warmly and appear modest and gentle. Although this kind of man is in They are everywhere on the modern Internet, but they are still rare in this era. Song Yingwan certainly likes to appreciate beautiful things, but he is very peaceful inside.
Song Yingwan accidentally caught a glimpse of Qu Xiaoling's eyes dropped to the side. Although Xia Jun looked calm on the surface, her cheeks were slightly red and her eyes would look away from time to time. When she looked at Tang Xiaotang, her face was also flushed, but her eyes were still clear. .
very good! He had almost wiped out all the female educated youths, and Song Yingwan somehow felt that the future of educated youth would not be peaceful.
"Let's go, get in the car quickly. There is still work in the fields. I don't know what the little kid is doing here?" the captain shouted in a rough voice. His face was evenly tanned and full of wind blows. Traces of sun exposure.
Song Yingwan quickly pulled Tang Xiaotang, who was still dazed, picked up his things and walked over, saying hello, "Hello, captain, I will need more care from you in the future."
The captain felt strangely comfortable hearing these words, thinking that the kid from the city was nice to talk to, but couldn't work well, couldn't carry it on his shoulders, and couldn't lift it with his hands.
The captain nodded, pointed to a donkey cart and said, "Hurry up and get on the cart. You can rest for a while if you go back early."
Other educated youths also followed, and when they saw the car pointed by the brigade leader, their faces were not very good-looking, and the male educated youth who stood out from the crowd also frowned.
When Qu Xiaoling saw this kind of car, she immediately showed disgust and said, "This car is so dirty, how can we ride in it? I just bought new clothes. Really, if I knew I was coming to pick us up, I couldn't get a better one." Car?"
Although others felt a little inappropriate after hearing this, they did not refute it.
As soon as the captain heard this, his face immediately turned dark. His already dark face was now darker and darker, "Do you want to sit down or not? If not, just walk back. I really thought you were here to enjoy yourself. It would be nice to have a car." If you want this or that, why don’t you go to heaven?”
Although the captain was speaking to all the educated youth, he was speaking to Qu Xiaoling. Naturally, Qu Xiaoling couldn't accept being lectured in front of so many people. Her face turned red, feeling embarrassed and angry.
After the captain finished speaking, the educated youths did not dare to speak anymore. After all, they were on someone else's territory, and no one wanted to stand out.
But after all, we can't really let them walk back. With their small bodies, they can't reach the place even after dark. How can they still work?
"Are you leaving yet? If not, just stay here," the captain shouted.
When Song Yingwan heard this, he quickly took his things and got on it. He was just kidding, he would be a fool not to sit in the car while he had it!
When Tang Xiaotang saw that Song Ying had gone in the evening, he also sat in, and they squeezed into the very back.
When the other educated youths saw the two of them sitting on it, they didn't care whether it was dirty or not, so they hurriedly climbed up.
Qu Xiaoling saw that the people who were shouting just now were all sitting on it. She was angry and annoyed, but she had no choice but to stamp her feet and climb up.
They wandered on the donkey cart for more than an hour and finally arrived at Liujia Village. It was now around two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Most of the villagers were working in the fields. The brigade leader was known to all the villagers, and of course his own donkey. Seeing that the donkey cart was full of men and women, he guessed that the brigade leader was picking up educated youths again. When they came back, they all stretched their heads and looked around.
Aunt Jin, who happened to be assigned to the village headland today, could see it most clearly. She looked at these new educated youths, all of them were fair and tender, looking weak and sluggish, thinking that there would be a lot of free rice this year. Yes!
Aunt Jin gave birth to three sons herself, and her sons were all capable of doing the work, so she became very aggressive in the village. She shouted at the top of her voice: "Captain, why are you taking in so many people? What our village does all year round is not enough to feed ourselves." .”
The captain was already in a bad mood, and he didn't want these educated youths to come. When Aunt Jin complained, he became angry, "You lousy bitch, do you think I'm willing to accept it? You have the ability, and I, the captain, will give it to you." You do it!”
The educated youths in the car had never experienced such treatment. Seeing that these people disliked them so much, their faces didn't look good for a while, and they felt a little angry in their hearts.
Although Aunt Jin is normally domineering, she dared not say a word when the captain got angry. She had no place to vent the evil fire in her heart, so she vented her anger under her hands, pulling out grass and seedlings without distinguishing between friend and foe.
Seeing her bad behavior again, the captain yelled harshly: "Jin Dahua, if you don't want to do this, go back. You won't get any of your work points today."
As soon as Aunt Jin heard about the work score, she immediately felt guilty and stopped moving her hands. These days, the work points are food and money. Who can have trouble with food? Although the three sons are capable, they can't cope with the large family. There will still not be enough food at the end of the year.
Because of Aunt Jin's appearance, the villagers I met on the road just said hello to the team leader. As soon as I entered the village, the donkey cart arrived at the educated youth point. After a while, it was called the educated youth point. In fact, it was after the lonely old man in the village passed away. There was no one living in the house. After the educated youth went to the countryside, the village paid for it and took some rest, so it became an educated youth spot.
There are three rooms in the Educated Youth Point, which are surrounded by walls, leaving only a door for entry and exit. The yard is quite large, but with so many people living there, the yard seems too small, even if it is facing the gate of the yard. It is a main room. Educated youths usually gather here to eat. There is also a big table in the main room. There are two rooms on both sides of the main room. The female educated youths live in the east, and the male educated youths live in the west. The rooms of the female educated youths are facing each other. As for the kitchen, it's not big and can accommodate about three people.
When Song Yingwan and the others saw this house surrounded by earthen walls, they didn't know what to say. Houses made of earthen bricks like theirs were rare in the city, but in the countryside, even in a commune, they couldn't find a few houses with blue bricks. house.
So these new educated youths were hit hard!
Song Yingwan had some understanding of the living conditions of this era. Although what he saw with his own eyes was a bit different from what he imagined, it was still within an acceptable range.
The captain just went to call two old educated youths to come over and help clean up the new arrivals. When he came back, he saw these people standing stupidly at the door, thinking that not only were these people not good at work, but they also seemed to have no brains. , I don’t know where all the good food in the city went?
"Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you doing standing here? Do you still want to sleep tonight?" The captain clasped his hands behind his back and looked at them not far away.
Just as he finished speaking, two more people followed, a man and a woman, with dirt on their hands. They must have just returned from the fields.
The woman came forward, her face was red from the sun, she had a haircut similar to that of a later generation student, but the length was shorter. She looked very steady and said with a smile, "Hello, I am an old educated youth from Liujiacun. Xu Xiuyu.”
Another male educated youth also came up to say hello, "Hello, I am Zhang Guoan, and I am also an old educated youth here."
"Come and enter the house! From now on, we can live together so that we can take care of each other." Zhang Guoan said as he walked in, and Xu Xiuyu also quickly helped the lesbian carry the luggage into the house.
Song Yingwan's luggage was relatively small compared to others, so he moved it in by himself without asking for help. Xia Jun, who was traveling with her, had quite a lot of things packed in large and small bags. The luggage alone was enough to keep her busy for a while. The male educated youth was very strong and moved very quickly. In a short time, he had finished moving all the things. The white shirt might have belonged to Xia Jun, a lesbian. There were too many, so I went over to help.
"Comrade Xia, let me help you."
Just when Xia Jun felt her arms were sore, a pair of slender and strong hands appeared in front of her eyes, and then she heard a gentle and touching voice in her ears. When she looked up, she saw the face that made her blush and her heart beat.
She blushed, smiled sweetly at him, and whispered, "Okay, thank you."
