Zhao Xiaomei was nearly livid. She'd already been fuming over being transferred to a mountain village in Heilongjiang Province after being returned from the better-off Xing Brigade, and now this bitch had torn her skin apart in public, exposing the very thing she'd tried so hard to hide. So what was the point of her transfer? With red eyes, she looked at a young man who'd been so caring and clearly interested in her all the way. Now, he was standing far away from her, looking at her with a cold, even slightly disdainful expression.

Zhao Xiaomei was so angry that her whole body was shaking. The finger she pointed at Song Yun also trembled non-stop. "You are so vicious. You actually threw such dirty water on me. Do you know that your nonsense like this can kill people? How can I face people in the future?"

Song Yun sneered, "How are you going to face people in the future? Does it have anything to do with me? You are allowed to accuse others of murder, but you don't allow them to fight back with facts? You are really shameless."

Seeing Zhao Xiaomei on the verge of collapse after being slammed by Song Yun's words, the leading cadre, having seen enough of the drama, finally stopped playing dead and started scolding her: "Alright, what's the point of all the fussing here? You're educated youth, not shrews. Hurry up and grab your luggage and follow me. If you miss the bus, you'll have to pay for your stay at the guesthouse."

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly picked up their luggage and followed the leading cadres to the bus station diagonally opposite the train station. From the provincial capital to the city, they could only take a bus, then take a bus from the city to the county town, and then take an ox cart or tractor from the county town to the assigned commune and brigade. The journey was really complicated.

Song Yun didn't even look at the shaky Zhao Xiaomei, and walked away with her brother and the team leader.

The other educated youth did not want to get involved with Zhao Xiaomei, so they picked up their luggage and left quickly.

There were also two soft-hearted female educated youth who saw Zhao Xiaomei's pitiful appearance. After hesitating for a moment, they stepped forward to help her carry some things and asked her to go with them.

After hurrying as hard as they could, the group finally caught the bus to the city. By the time they changed buses twice and rushed to the county town, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ten educated youth, nine men and seven women, were all assigned to one commune, namely Huaixi Commune. Eight of them were assigned to Zouyang Village, which also belonged to Huaixi Commune, and the other eight were assigned to Qinghe Village.

Of the seven female educated youth, four were assigned to Qinghe Village. Song Yun and Zhao Xiaomei were also assigned to Qinghe Village for some unknown reason.

Zouyang Village sent a tractor to pick up the people, and one tractor took away all the people and their belongings, which made the eight educated youth from Qinghe Village very envious.

"Okay, stop looking and put all your luggage on the ox cart. The other party's tractor won't turn back to pick you up." The team leader Liu Qian who came to pick up the people shouted to the young and weak educated youth in front of him.

This is so frustrating! Eight more have been sent here. The educated youth camp is almost full. A few male educated youth are fine; they can at least do some work, but these female educated youth are each thinner and more frail than the last. They can't even lift anything with their shoulders or hands. What can they do? The bachelors in the village are afraid that seeing these female educated youth from the city will cause trouble again. It's just a constant nuisance. It's so annoying.

The male educated youth were no less troublesome. The young girls and wives in the village also liked to hang around these male educated youth, and they had caused a lot of trouble in the past.

There is also an eight-year-old kid!

Although Captain Liu already knew that a little kid would come to the countryside with his sister, he didn't know the specific reason. Now that he met him, of course he had to find out.

"Comrade, is this boy your brother?" Captain Liu walked up to Song Yun and asked when he saw the educated youths letting him pass.

Song Yun nodded. "It's my younger brother, he's eight years old. There are no adults at home, and no relatives I can leave him to. I have to go to the countryside, so I had no choice but to bring him with me." Seeing the captain's brow furrowing, Song Yun continued, "But don't worry, since I dare to bring him to the countryside, I am confident that I can take care of him and will not take up any resources from the team. I will also take care of his rations myself and will not cause any trouble to the team."
