Starting from the Year 1960

Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...

Chapter 518 The Arrival of Educated Youth

In fact, this is normal. Using a loudspeaker saves time and effort, so this is the way to pick up people.

The same is true in other regions.

Soon no one got off the car. There were more than 20 people standing behind Li Xu and the other man, most of them were men, and most of them were women.

Li Ping handed the loudspeaker to Li Xu and took out a pen and paper from his pocket to check the names of the people.

After making sure everyone was present, the two men led them towards the car.

As they walked along the road, Li Xu asked, "Which province are you from?"

"Shaanxi."

Wow, this place looks familiar.

The people who went to the countryside came in batches according to their provinces, which means they were all from Shaanxi.

Li Xu asked again, "Is there anyone from Zichang County?"

"Yes." Two voices sounded at the same time.

Seeing that there were indeed people coming from Zichang County, Li Xu was happy, "Come on, come on, come and tell me about your place."

Apart from briefly describing the local situation in the first letter he sent, Li Chen never mentioned it again.

It's not just him, almost everyone who went with him was like this.

So sometimes the Li family members are quite curious about the local situation.

The owners of the voices were a man and a woman, who seemed a little reserved when they came to Li Xu's side.

Li Xu spoke first, "What are your names?"

The man replied, "My name is Hong Qi, and her name is Jiang Yan."

"That's a good name. By the way, have you two known each other before?"

"Yes, her dad and my dad are colleagues and good friends. We kind of grew up together."

Li Xu joked, "Childhood sweethearts, what if you two are assigned to different places?"

Hong Qi glanced at Jiang Yan and whispered, "Before we came here, someone told us that if we were assigned to different places, we should find someone who could help us solve the problem."

Hearing this, not only Li Xu, but even Li Ping was stunned.

The person who could say this to them must have come from Tang County.

The most important thing is that there are not many people who dare to say this.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ping asked hesitantly, "Is the person who said this to you surnamed Li or Liu?"

"Ah?" Hong Qi and the other two were shocked. "How did you know?"

"Apart from them, no one else dared to say this. If I'm not mistaken, you chose Tang County because of this person, right?"

Having said that, Li Ping stopped just as they were about to reach the car and continued, "We're here. Let's talk later."

Then he and Li Xu asked everyone to get on the car, leaving only Hong Qi and the other two behind.

The cab couldn't accommodate so many people, so we just finished talking before leaving.

As for the others, they were already exhausted from traveling these days. After getting on the bus, they closed their eyes and began to rest, not caring about the time wasted at all.

Of course, even if they care, they dare not say it...

Li Xu continued the previous topic, "Tell me, who asked you to come here?"

Hong Qi and Jiang Yan exchanged a glance, and then Jiang Yan asked, "Are you so interested in our county because your relatives and friends are among those who went to the countryside?"

"right."

"There's a driver named Li Xu in your county supply and marketing cooperative's fleet. He also has family working in our village. Do you know him?"

Li Xu: ...

Li Ping: ...

It's more than just knowing each other, we are so familiar with each other that we can't be more familiar.

After a moment of silence, Li Xu said, "I am Li Xu. Is the person who asked you to come Li Chen?"

Hong Qi and the other man said in unison, "Are you Li Xu?"

"I'm Li Xu."

"Who taught you how to drive?"

This question startled Li Xu. "Liu Gang, it seems I was wrong. The person who asked you to come here is Liu Yunxiao."

It was obvious that these two people wanted to confirm their identities through a question and answer session, which was also set up by the person who asked them to come.

It is impossible for Li Chen to set the answer to the question as Liu Gang, so it can only be Liu Yunxiao.

Seeing his answer, both of them were quite surprised and nodded repeatedly, "Brother Liu asked us to come here. He said that if we encounter any difficulties here, we can come to you."

Li Xu understood Liu Yunxiao's meaning after a moment's thought, so he scolded him with a smile, "This brat, he's beating around the bush when he speaks. I'm sorry to ask you to go directly to his father, but you have to ask me to convey it."

In Tang County, there are few things that can stump Liu Gang.

To be honest, if something is difficult for him, it won’t be of much use to ask Li Xu for help.

Since he can do it, Liu Yunxiao will definitely not bother Li Xu, an outsider.

So he hoped that when these two people encountered difficulties and came to him, Li Xu would be able to convey the matter to his father.

Or in other words, if Liu Gang is unwilling to take action, he hopes Li Xu can help persuade him.

Hong Qi and the other man understood a little and looked embarrassed.

Li Ping asked, "How did you get to know Yunxiao? Did he ask you to bring anything?"

"He knew our father first, and then he knew us. He asked us to bring a few letters with us, but it's inconvenient to take them now. I'll find them for you when we get there."

"Who met your father first? What kind of job does your father do?"

"He's a street office clerk in charge of the market. Brother Liu often goes there to buy things, so we got to know each other."

"I didn't expect we were in the same business as each other." Li Ping said with amusement, "I remember Yunxiao and his team seemed to be quite far from the county town. How could they still go shopping there so often?"

Hong Qi answered seriously, "Yes, Brother Liu is a good husband. In order to nourish his wife, he would go out to collect meat and other nutritious products even when he was not working. But now it's much better. My father and Uncle Jiang will buy the food regularly, and Brother Liu will go to get it after work."
