"Now that everyone is here, let's go back. You can put your luggage on the oxcart."

Tan Zhengmin glanced at the twelve educated youths, his disdain evident in his eyes.

"The luggage is on the bullock cart, what about us? Where do we sit?"

Wen Nuan looked up at Zhang Zhenzhen who was acting stupid, and sure enough, the next second she heard the captain say rudely:

"Where are you sitting? Can you get to the Red Flag Team by sitting on the ground? We didn't come to the countryside to let you enjoy yourself. Our team only has this one old ox, which is much more valuable than you.

It is already a great honor to let it pull your luggage. What are you dreaming of if you want it to pull you? If you can walk, walk. If you can’t walk, it’s up to you! ”

After Tan Zhengmin finished speaking, he didn't even look at the educated youth. He turned around, waved the whip, and prepared to drive away.

The Red Flag Team's first show of strength came just like that.

Although everyone was unwilling to see this, they did not dare to act rashly. After all, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake, not to mention that they were not powerful dragons.

Seeing that all the educated youth followed the ox cart one by one, Zhang Zhenzhen stamped her feet and followed.

There's nothing I can do even if I'm angry. Now that I'm here, it's hard to go back.

The sky was getting darker and darker. The moonlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves and scattered into every corner. In the grass by the roadside, crickets chirped non-stop.

In the quiet night, the only sounds you can hear are the footsteps of the people and the rolling sound of ox carts.

The timid educated youth huddled in the crowd with their arms folded, their steps hurried, fearing that they would be left behind by the Japanese troops.

Wen Nuan had walked the night road countless times before, so she was naturally not afraid of these things. Besides, the educated youth point was about to arrive, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

“Oh…”

Tan Zhengmin stopped the ox cart, and everyone was surprised to find that they had arrived at the gate of a small courtyard.

"We have arrived at the educated youth point. Go home and rest early today. Tomorrow your point leader will take you to the team to collect rations.

The team will lend you this food, and you can use your work points to offset it or buy it with money later. It all depends on you.

This is not the busy farming season. You can have a day off tomorrow and start work the day after tomorrow. If you have any problems that you can't solve internally, come to me.

After dark in the evening, it is best not to walk around casually, especially for female educated youth, and you should also keep your distance when interacting with villagers.

Also, you must pay attention to the time when you are working. You are not allowed to be late or leave early. Work points are related to your future food and clothing. That's all I have to say. Did you hear it clearly? "

"I heard it clearly!"

Everyone answered in unison. Facing such a serious Tan Zhengmin, the new educated youth felt a little nervous.

After all, county officials are not as good as the current managers. In the entire Red Flag Team, Captain Tan Zhengmin can be said to be the highest leader.

“Squeak…”

The door of the educated youth center was opened from the inside, and a dark-skinned man in a gray coat walked out.

"Uncle Tan, thank you for your hard work. These are the new educated youth who came this time. Don't worry, I have already arranged the beds."

"Okay, then I'll leave them to you. I still have to send the cows to the cowshed, so I won't keep them any longer."

"Okay, Uncle Tan, please go back soon. It's so late, my aunt will definitely be worried!"

"You little rascal! Okay, I'm leaving now. Go ahead and do your work!"

"Hey, slow down and be careful!"

"Well, go ahead!"

Not until Tan Zhengmin's back walked away did the man retract his gaze and turn his attention to these new educated youth.

Wen Nuan was standing behind the crowd, and she knew who the man was without even looking.

Sure enough, the next second the man's voice rang out again.

"Hello, comrades. I am Sun Dongxu, the leader of the Red Flag Youth Team. It's getting late. Let's talk tomorrow morning.

Today I will arrange a bed for you first. Please be gentle when you enter the house. The old educated youth are tired after a day's work and are all asleep now."

Everyone nodded, and then followed Sun Dongxu into the courtyard.

The main house of the educated youth center faces south and has a rectangular courtyard with rooms on three sides, which shows that there are not many people living there.

"To the left and right of the main room are the girls' dormitories. There are six of you, three in each room. The seats are reserved. Just go in and make your beds to sleep."

Sun Dongxu arranged the girls first, a total of twelve people, six boys and six girls.

Wen Nuan stood at the end. This time she didn't want to stay in Zhang Zhenzhen's room alone.

Seeing Zhang Zhenzhen went to the house on the right, she carried her luggage to the house on the left.

The girl who was passed by her was stunned for a moment, then turned to the right.

Seeing that all the girls had entered the house, Sun Dongxu began to make arrangements for the male educated youth.

"Both the east and west sides are male dormitories. Two more people can live in the east, and the remaining four can live in the west. You can choose where you want to live!"

Several boys moved swiftly and went to the west without any prior agreement. Zhu Jianjun was among them. The remaining two boys were a little slower in reaction and had to go to the east.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with the east side, except that it's next to the kitchen, so it might be a little noisy in the morning.

Seeing that the male educated youth had also made their choices, Sun Dongxu returned to his bed and prepared to sleep.

Don't underestimate him as a leader. In addition to worrying about the educated youth's affairs, he also had to get up early and go to work like everyone else, but he only received a little more subsidy every month.

As soon as Wen Nuan entered the room, she found that the old educated youth had all fallen asleep. The snoring sounds echoed throughout the room. Although there was no snoring from the boys, it was not to be underestimated.

There was still more than three meters of space in the pavement, which was obviously vacated for them. Wen Nuan didn't like being sandwiched in the middle, so she chose a position close to the wall.

Considering that the old educated youth were all asleep, Wen Nuan gave up the idea of ​​washing up, took out a quilt from her luggage, spread it out, and then prepared to go to bed.

I was a little irritated at first, but gradually I calmed down. After all, I didn't get enough rest on the train, so I fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, the old educated youth all went to work, while the new educated youth were still asleep. It was not until nearly nine o'clock that noises were heard again in the educated youth's center.

The new educated youths got up from their beds one by one and, full of curiosity, began to tour the entire educated youth site.

Behind the girls' dormitory is the vegetable garden of the educated youth center, where the toilet and temporary bathroom are located.

A rustling sound beside my ear woke up Wen Nuan who was sleeping soundly.

When she opened her eyes, Wen Nuan saw the educated youth sleeping next to her getting dressed.

"Ah, did I wake you up? I tried to speak as quietly as possible. Sorry!"

Wen Nuan blinked and then smiled.

"It's none of your business. I'm almost asleep too!"

He stretched out his wrist and took a look.

"Oh, it's already this late. I'm getting up too!"

Wen Nuan said as she also sat up from the kang. The sunlight shone through the window onto the table in the room, making the whole room a little brighter.

The birds outside the window and in the trees chirped non-stop, as if turning on the switch for the day.

It was at this time that I felt warm and took a good look at the furnishings in this room. The room on the right was no different.

As always, each person had a locker. Of course, the educated youth had to buy the locker with their own money.

Toiletries are placed in the washbasin, which is placed in the corner of the wall. There is only a square table and four long benches in the public area.

Wen Nuan looked around and then got dressed and got down from the kang. The packages she brought yesterday were still piled up in the corner. She found the toiletries from them and went out.

There was a water tank in the courtyard of the educated youth camp. The water in it was used specifically for washing. The person on duty would fill up the tank after work in the evening every day.
