If you ignore Zhang Yining's occasional antics, the journey was relatively peaceful.

After three days and two nights of travel, apart from the initial enthusiasm, no one had the energy to care about each other and everyone became listless.

After the train arrived at the station, Ningxia struggled to move her things towards the exit.

No one cared about anyone else, everyone was carrying bags like they were fleeing.

People were crowding and stepping on each other, and the train station was full of people.

There is a reception point for educated youth just outside the platform. This is a temporary station set up by the county educated youth office.

All educated youth were under the jurisdiction of the county. After they were dispersed to various brigades, any matters had to go through the commune first, and then the commune would report to the county.

Finally, the county sent people to investigate again. If the educated youth were wronged, they had no way to file a complaint. Once they went to the countryside, they were like lambs to be slaughtered.

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Here everyone is treated equally and everyone has to rely on themselves.

After all the educated youth who came to the county to work in the countryside gathered and reported, the county educated youth office organized them to go to their respective communes.

There were about eight or nine hundred educated youth queuing up to register, a huge crowd.

Fortunately, the peak period of going to the countryside has passed, and the number of people is not too large. They quickly dispersed, with only dozens of people assigned to each commune, and only a few people from the commune to each brigade.

The staff of the Youth League Office distributed the registration forms for joining the queue.

Dozens of people were assigned to Longjiang Commune.

These people will be dispersed among the various brigades, and which brigade they will be assigned to will be decided by drawing lots at that time.

With the help of the bus attendant, Ningxia put away her luggage and found a seat by the window.

She now has headaches, back pain, leg pain, and body aches. She just wants to get there quickly and have a good sleep.

Those who get on first can grab seats, while those who get on later can only stand. It's okay when the bus is not moving, but when it starts, there is a strong smell of gasoline, and the road is uneven and bumpy, Ningxia feels like he is dancing at a disco on the bus.

The smell of gasoline, the fishy smell of vomit, the sour smell of sweat, all kinds of smells filled the car. Ningxia also vomited. Now no one disliked anyone else.

The car drove for more than two hours, and Ningxia could only breathe the fresh air outside the window to survive.

After arriving at the commune, everyone collapsed on the ground and didn't want to move.

The head of the educated youth in the commune came out and frowned with a headache when he saw this group of pretty girls from the city.

Every time the team picked people, it would take a long time to make a fuss. Even if it was just drawing lots, if they got a stronger one, they would be overjoyed, but if they got a weak one, they would not stop until the whole place was turned upside down.

With this group of people coming every year, the commune leaders lose a lot of hair every year.

Looking at the group of people from various teams surrounding him, he said, "Let's make a deal first. Whoever draws the lot gets it. No shirking is allowed. Whoever shirks the lot will lose their spot in the advanced team this year."

The person in charge had said it beforehand, and the men were afraid to say a word. If they were rated as an advanced brigade, not only would they receive various subsidized grains, but last year's advanced brigade was also rewarded with fertilizers.

With the help of chemical fertilizers, grain production has doubled. Last year, every household in that brigade received a lot of grain. Who wouldn’t be jealous?

For this reason, no matter what the classification is, as long as it is an individual, all the teams agree.

"Wang Weitian, Zhang Kangcheng, Xu Hengzheng, Chen Yaoyao, Ningxia, Zhang Yining, Cai Xiaoya, the seven of you go to the Black Mountain Brigade."

The person in charge pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and said to them.

"I am Wang Gensheng, the captain of the Black Mountain Brigade. Come with me." Wang Gensheng now only wants to fight with the person in charge.

After thinking about it, I joined the advanced team and finally gritted my teeth and accepted it. None of these people were strong.

A grown man, whose face was paler than that of an unmarried girl, Wang Gensheng was so disgusted that he couldn't bear to look at him.

Look at the girl wearing a skirt next to me, with a look of disgust on her face. Hey, you despise me, and I despise you too.

This female educated youth is okay, she looks white and plump, she must be energetic. That one is a little thin, but looks pretty healthy.

Huh? What the hell is this? It looks like a goblin, and there's really no one assigned to it? If I take this back, will the team still be safe?

What advanced brigade? Can't he just give it up?

Although Captain Wang Gensheng argued with reason, he finally returned dejected.

"Put your luggage in the car and follow me." Wang Gensheng accepted his fate. The commune director said that this year they would apply for two more piglets for their brigade as compensation.

"Didn't they say they had a tractor? Why don't you drive the tractor to pick us up? Can this cow pull us?" Zhang Yining looked at the dirt on the cart and felt very resistant.

"A tractor? I want one too. You can apply for it. I'll drive it to pick you up wherever you go."

"Who else said this car is for you? It's good enough that it can hold your luggage. Don't tire out this old ox of mine."

Wang Gensheng looked at Zhang Yining unhappily, patted the cow, and left without looking back.

Whether they want to follow or not, can they still go back?

Zhang Yining looked incredulous. No one paid any attention to her except Zhang Kangcheng who was waiting there. Finally, she gritted her teeth and caught up with the main group.

Ningxia had grown up in hardship no matter what life he had, and he had climbed many mountains in his later life. He walked shakily for more than an hour.

The mountains in the distance were shrouded in fog, as if suspended in mid-air. After circling the entire mountain, a group of people stumbled along, looking at the road that seemed to have no end in sight. Ningxia was very panicked. Is it so remote?

The words "poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people" come to my mind. The more remote the place is, the less people understand the law. Their thinking is trapped in the small mountain village, and reasoning is not as effective as using fists.

There are many such cases in later generations, let alone in the 1970s?
