"Next one, from Shengli Commune, Yujiang County: Chen Qiangwei, Si Yujue, Han Qianshan, Xu Hongli, Wang Xiaomai..." The people from the Youth League Office called out forty people in a row.

Chen Qiangwei took the lead, carrying the luggage and walking towards the truck.

Wang Xiaomai was carrying one on his back, one on his shoulder, and a bag hanging around his neck. He followed Chen Qiangwei closely with all the bags.

Seeing this, Si Yujue and the other two didn't care to be surprised and followed with their luggage.

On the train, everyone just told each other about the province and city they were going to the countryside, without specifying which county or commune they were going to. I didn't expect that they were so compatible.

Chen Qiangwei took Wang Xiaomai's quilt and threw it onto the truck. When she was about to throw in the second package, she remembered that there were pots and pans inside. She used the force to lightly jump onto the truck and reached out to Wang Xiaomai.

Wang Xiaomai happily handed the pots and pans, uh, no, the packages to Chen Qiangwei, and then climbed onto the truck using her hands and feet.

Other educated youth also arrived one after another.

The male educated youth helped the female educated youth put their luggage on the bus first, and only got on with their own luggage after the female educated youth had gotten on.

There were so many people that there was no place to stand. Many people sat on the quilts. Forty people filled the truck so tightly that there was no space at all.

At seven o'clock in the morning, a large truck took the people to the Youth League Office of Shengli Commune and left.

The Youth League Office was not open yet at this time. Looking at the closed door, the Youth League members looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

In the end, everyone simply followed Chen Qiangwei's example, squatting or sitting at the foot of the wall of the Youth League Office, waiting patiently.

Chen Qiangwei already knew that Wang Xiaomai didn't bring any food with her, so she handed a hard pancake to Wang Xiaomai and forced him to take it with her eyes.

This is a two-pound flour pancake. My aunt originally wanted to make it all white flour pancakes, but considering that it would be too conspicuous, Chen Qiangwei asked my aunt to take out a pound of corn flour and make it into two-pound flour pancakes.

Wang Xiaomai was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. Along the way, she ate two steamed buns, a pancake and two eggs given by Sister Weiwei (which made Xu Hongli's eyes turn red).

Wang Xiaomai has already regarded Chen Qiangwei as her savior and has made up her mind that if they can be assigned together, she must take good care of Sister Weiwei.

Chen Qiangwei stuffed the biscuit into her mouth and took a bite, almost breaking her front teeth: "Fuck, it's harder than a rock!"

Chen Qiangwei glanced at Wang Xiaomai who was eating with gusto: "Don't you feel hard?"

Wang Xiaomai looked up: "No, it's much better than the food at home." All she ate at that house this month was steamed corn bread and boiled water.

Chen Qiangwei was impressed. She found a teacup, poured half a cup of hot water into it, and soaked the cake in it. At least it was edible.

Xu Hongli looked at the interaction between Chen Qiangwei and Wang Xiaomai and curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

She and Chen Qiangwei sat side by side all the way, and Chen Qiangwei never shared a bite of food with her. Instead, she took good care of Wang Xiaomai, a newbie.

After a long wait, time finally arrived at eight o'clock.

"Wow, you're here so early. I guess everyone must be waiting anxiously." Director Wang from the Youth League Office of Shengli Commune saw dozens of people sitting or squatting against the wall, so he quickly opened the door and divided the people into groups without even having time to drink tea.

Shengli Commune had eight production brigades, namely: Feiyue Brigade, Xinhe Brigade, Xinxiang Brigade, Shangling Brigade, Changling Brigade, Mowu Brigade, Qilitun Brigade, and Huaihua Brigade.

There were forty educated youth, just enough to make a brigade of five. The brigade leaders didn't have to fight to the death over "I have one more and you have one less".

Director Wang held a list in his right hand and put his left hand to his mouth like a trumpet: "Everyone, be quiet. The teams will be here to pick you up soon. I'll assign you locations first.

Leaping Team: Liu Dani, Wang Da, Li Meimei..."

Chen Qiangwei noticed that the names of the first thirty-five people had been called, leaving only her, Wei Sijue, Han Qianshan, Xu Hongli and Wang Xiaomai.

The five people looked at each other, thinking that this was too much of a coincidence.

Director Wang swallowed, moistened his throat, and continued, "The remaining five who weren't named will go to the Huaihua Brigade. Do you understand?"

The educated youths responded sparsely: "I understand."

Director Wang didn't care about their reactions. He considered his task complete after calling the roll. He leisurely returned to his office, crossed his legs, and drank tea from his enamel cup.

Soon, several brigades arrived one after another to pick up the educated youth, some driving ox carts, some driving donkey carts, and some driving horse carts.

The person who came to pick us up seemed to be used to this job. When he arrived at the gate of the commune, he shouted, "Comrades from the educated youth team of XXX, come out quickly, let's go!"

In less than an hour, only Chen Qiangwei and four others were left at the wall of the Youth League Office. Unable to resist the sleepiness, they fell asleep during the long and boring wait.

Among those present, four came from Beijing and took a train for three days and three nights. Even Wang Xiaomai, who boarded the train midway, had been on the train for a day and a night. Everyone was so tired that they could just fall asleep anywhere.

After waking up, Chen Qiangwei looked at her watch. It was already half past ten, and the people from the Huaihua Brigade still hadn't arrived.

Several people looked at each other. It seemed that the Huaihua Brigade wanted to give them a warning. It seemed that their days would be difficult in the future.

Han Qianshan knocked on the door of the Youth League Office and said, "Director Wang, the people from Huaihua Brigade haven't arrived yet. What do you think?"

Director Wang looked relaxed: "Don't worry, we'll be there soon. The road to Huaihua Brigade is a bit far, so you guys wait a little longer."

Chen Qiangwei and others: ...

Chen Qiangwei felt like a thousand divine beasts were racing in her heart. God damn it, it's a bit far. Is it a bit far to be two hours later than the last team that arrived?
