The next day, Li Qiulan and Bai Jiansheng got up while it was still dark outside. They checked Bai Ruozhen's luggage one last time and went to make breakfast. Bai Jiansheng asked, "Are the steamed buns not put in yet?"

Li Qiulan slapped her brain and quickly took the key to open the cabinet, took out the steamed buns and stuffed them into her luggage.

Looking at the mountain of luggage, Li Qiulan asked, "Can she carry so much?"

Bai Jiansheng was also skeptical, but if he didn't take these things to the countryside in the middle of winter, he would freeze to death.

"Take her with you first and send her to the train. I heard that the commune will send a car to pick her up after she gets off the train. We will definitely be able to get her to the village." Bai Jiansheng was determined to do this. In fact, he had another consideration. If it really didn't work, he could just find a few boys at the station to help.

Li Qiulan did not object to his decision and made the final decision.

Li Qiulan was busy making breakfast again. She heated up steamed buns and fried a plate of pickles. She also made a white flour pancake for Bai Ruozhen and boiled a few eggs, stuffing them all into Bai Ruozhen's schoolbag.

At this time, Bai Ruozhen and Bai Liqiang also got up. Li Qiulan said, "Liqiang, don't go to school today. Come with us to see your sister off."

Bai Liqiangba had no choice but to go to school, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Bai Ruoyun took Bai Lishan, who was reluctant to leave, to school. Bai Ruoxin sat there without moving and had no intention of seeing Bai Ruozhen off. Li Qiulan and her husband and Bai Liqiang took Bai Ruozhen's luggage, and Bai Ruozhen followed with an army green schoolbag on his back.

If she wants to come back after this separation, it will probably be around the Chinese New Year. Bai Ruozhen looked back at the place where she had lived for more than ten days, feeling both relieved and reluctant. She glanced at Bai Ruoxin and smiled slightly, which successfully earned her a big eye roll.

Bai Ruoxin watched her walk away and almost jumped up with joy. She finally left. That was great.

This year's group of educated youth going to the countryside is now the first, and the next batch will graduate from their second year of high school in the summer. There weren't many people at the station to see them off, so the Bai family followed the instructions on the notice and found their leader.

When they arrived, there were already several young people who were going to the countryside waiting there. Almost all of them had their families to see them off, but it was obvious that they were all older than Bai Ruozhen.

Seeing this, Bai Jiansheng and Li Qiulan felt even worse. No family wants their young children to go to the countryside. Usually, they let the older ones go, but their family...

Bai Jiansheng felt a little sad and felt particularly sorry for Bai Ruozhen. He took out a cigarette he had bought a long time ago but hadn't been willing to smoke and handed it to the team leader, "Comrade, my daughter is young, please take good care of her on the way."

The team leader was also a student, having graduated last summer. He was only about seventeen or eighteen now, named Li Ming. He glanced at Bai Jiansheng and was about to say, "Why are you being so pretentious?" But then he saw Bai Ruozhen following behind him and changed his tone. "Uncle, don't worry, I'll take care of it. Bai Ruozhen, right? I've got it in mind. I'll take care of anything on the way."

There were twenty people on this trip to the countryside: fifteen men and five women. They weren't going to the same place; some got off the bus halfway. Bai Ruozhen, for example, was going quite far, going to the last stop. Li Ming was chosen to lead the group simply because his destination was also Yancheng.

There were seven people going to Yancheng, three men and five women.

Everyone got to know each other briefly and prepared to get on the bus.

Li Ming came over to help very attentively, "Hey, you are such a small girl, how can you carry it? Leave it here, I'll do it." As he said that, he picked up his luggage in his left hand and used his right hand to take Bai Ruozhen's luggage.

But in addition to the bedding that Bai Ruozhen was carrying with great difficulty, he also had three large bags full of things. Even if Li Ming took one, there were still two left.

Bai Ruozhen naturally would not refuse the help that was available, and when Li Ming wanted to use her, she just politely asked him for help.

But what about the other two?

Bai Ruozhen was just getting worried when two more men came over and said, "We'll help you get it."

So someone took the other two large packages.

Bai Jiansheng had originally planned to send the person to the car, but after seeing the situation, he decided not to do so.

Watching them get on the bus, Bai Jiansheng said to Li Qiulan with satisfaction, "Young comrades nowadays are really enthusiastic."

Li Qiulan nodded. Yes, seeing that her daughter was weak, he took the initiative to help. He was really a good comrade.

So the couple completely ignored the fact that the other two girls were struggling to carry their luggage without anyone helping them.

Bai Ruozhen was curious about everything. In fact, when she first arrived at the station, she was amazed by the long iron box. She knew from the original owner that this was a train and that one could go to a very far place after getting on it, so she thought it was something similar to a carriage, except that it was very spacious inside.

The journey took almost twelve hours, and they arrived in Yancheng at midnight. However, as educated youth sent to the countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants, they couldn't use sleeper berths; they all had hard seats. However, the Youth Affairs Office was considerate of them, packing all twenty of them into one carriage, head to head, so they could look after each other.

There were twenty people and only five girls. Normally, the five girls should be very popular, but what made the four girls angry was that all the men were like wolves seeing sheep and were circling around the youngest one, Bai Ruozhen.

So angry.

As soon as Bai Ruozhen got on the train, she was greeted with two unfriendly gazes. Bai Ruozhen looked over and saw that they were two little girls who looked a little older than her. It seemed that these two girls were not very friendly to her when she got on the train just now.

She's just a stranger, she hasn't offended anyone, so why is she so hostile to him?
