When we arrived at the town government, the whole yard was noisy and the yard was already filled with donkey carts and ox carts.
The government worker was holding a loud speaker and shouting at everyone to line up. It was a very cold day and he was so anxious that sweat was coming out of his nose.
I didn't pay attention for a moment and let the coachmen enter the yard.
The noise of people and the braying of donkeys and cows made it sound like a vegetable market.
In the end, the angry staff simply stopped shouting and let them shout on their own to see when they would stop.
The staff also felt helpless.
Some of these educated youth arrived the night before yesterday, some arrived yesterday, and some just arrived this morning.
The educated youth assigned to a village came from all over the country.
The superior leader said that once everyone has arrived, they should let the villagers take them back together, so as to avoid having to come back and forth from time to time.
This does make things more convenient for the villages under their jurisdiction, but it makes life difficult for the staff.
You have to arrange accommodation and meals for the educated youth who arrive early, right?
These young men and women from the city have too much to do.
Sometimes they complain that this is not done well, and sometimes they say that the arrangements there are unfair. Especially with some female comrades, I wonder if you think they are high-ranking officials who have come to the countryside to conduct an inspection.
Liu Changshan and his son looked at the noisy people in the yard and tactfully did not go in. They just stood outside the door waiting.
The people in the courtyard were noisy for a long time, but when they saw that no staff came out to preside over the work, they gradually quieted down and started looking for someone in charge.
"Why aren't you talking? Aren't you all very capable? If you can do it yourself, why don't you just ask us for help?"
The staff stood on the steps looking at the people below with displeasure.
After waiting for a long time and seeing that no one was shouting anymore, he opened the book in his hand and read: "The head of Shangkanzi Village, please come forward."
An old man with a dark face raised his hand and squeezed to the front: "I, I am."
The staff member glanced at him and then continued, "Li Xiaohong, Jia Yuanfang, Meng Qi, Liang Dongyuan, follow the head of Kanzi Village."
In the quiet crowd, four young men carrying large and small bags and holding things in their hands squeezed to the front of the crowd.
As the staff waved their hands and told them to leave quickly, the arrangements for the educated youth in the village were completed.
Liu Changshan and his son were outside the yard, listening to the noise inside.
He noticed that the number of educated youth assigned to each village was similar.
The village with the most has 7, and the village with the least has 4.
Moreover, there are more girls than boys among the educated youth.
At first glance, most of them have long braids.
As far as Liu Changshan is concerned, his village doesn't want any female educated youth.
He felt a bit of a headache when he thought of those delicate girls in the city.
The girls in the village are all very tough. They have grown up with them and know what kind of people they are.
When working, it is better to assign tasks to different people.
But he was really unsure about these young educated youth girls.
If I say something light or serious, what should I do if he starts crying again?
Just when Liu Changshan was worried, his name was finally called.
"Hey, hey, here, here!" Liu Changshan quickly ran in with his arms raised.
"Wang Zhiqiang, Li Jianwen, Hu Lili, Zhang Yumei, Liu Xiaoting, the five of you follow him."
As the staff read out the names, two men and three women walked out of the group of educated youth.
Looking at these five young men and girls with childish faces, Liu Changshan smiled and nodded at them, then raised his hand and asked them to follow him.
Before he could even take two steps out, a delicate voice rang out from behind: "What about my food? I can't carry it."
Liu Changshan looked back and saw a little girl who was the best dressed among the five people raising her hand to signal him.
It turned out that the government had already distributed their food rations for the next month, and wanted them to take them back directly.
The little girl who was speaking was called Hu Lili.
Judging from his clothes, you can tell that his family conditions should be relatively good.
Everyone else's clothes had patches on them to varying degrees, but her clothes, although somewhat faded, were a complete set without a single patch.
Liu Changshan had no choice but to wave to his son who was watching the donkey outside the yard: "Weiguo, come in and help them carry the food."
When Liu Weiguo heard his father calling him, he first settled the donkey cart before walking in.
The government gave each of these educated youth a cloth bag, each bag containing 45 kilograms of food rations.
There are cornmeal, sorghum rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. You can choose them yourself or mix them together. Anyway, just make sure you have 45 kilograms.
Many people choose cornmeal because, for the same weight, cornmeal can be eaten for a longer time, which means it is more filling.
Liu Weiguo walked up to Hu Lili, who was raising her hands, and picked up the bag of noodles at her feet with one hand.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the bag at the feet of the female educated youth next to him, and he picked it up as well.
Seeing this, Liu Changshan had no choice but to take over the flour bag of the remaining female educated youth.
The group finally squeezed out. Liu Changshan and his son asked the educated youth to unload all their things onto the donkey cart and then find a place to sit.
Li Jianwen took the lead in greeting Liu Changshan: "Uncle, I will trouble you from now on."
Liu Changshan liked this polite young man very much: "No trouble, no trouble, you are all the pillars of the country, and coming to our mountainous place can be regarded as adding bricks and tiles to our country."
Liu Weiguo raised his eyebrows at his father, he didn't expect that his rough and rough father could speak so elegantly in public!
What he didn't know was that the town had called all the village heads to the town the day before to hold a special meeting and training for them.
The content of the meeting mainly talked about the current national policies, why these city kids have to go to the countryside, how to treat them, how to arrange them, etc.
What Liu Changshan said was also learned from the meeting.
While loading the truck, Hu Lili was holding a large backpack.
Wang Zhiqiang was a bit honest and seeing that she was struggling, he kindly offered to help her put it in the car.
But Hu Lili glanced at him from head to toe, lowered her eyelids and said indifferently: "No need, I can get it myself."
Wang Zhiqiang, who was rejected, seemed not to notice Hu Lili's disdain, and cleared a space on the donkey cart: "Put it here, it's too much trouble to carry it."
Hu Lili was a little impatient with his inability to tell the difference between the two. "My bag is full of pastries, I'm afraid it will be crushed."
Upon hearing that it was an expensive pastry, Wang Zhiqiang finally shut up.
Everyone else sat a little further away from Hu Lili, for fear of touching her backpack.
If the pastries are broken, they can’t afford the compensation!
