Zhang Jianjun was a bit easier to talk to; after all, he was a boy and came from a military compound, so he was a bit bolder.
Although he was somewhat worried, it was because his parents and sisters had told him a lot about the difficulties of going to the countryside.
He was somewhat worried, but also longed to break free from his constraints and embrace a new life.
Chen Xiangrong was a girl, and her personality wasn't as outgoing as Zhang Jianjun's.
Therefore, they seem more worried.
Fortunately, Gu Yunyang helped her twice, and she ran into Gu Yunyang, an acquaintance, on the train.
Chen Xiangrong's initial worries eased slightly.
"Where will we be assigned after we arrive at Baishi Commune?" Zhang Jianjun asked the question on behalf of the two of them.
Seeing his expression, Gu Yunyang laughed: "Alright, Brother Zhang. Don't worry, I'll apply to the commune to have you two assigned to our Red Flag Brigade."
However, our Hongqi Brigade was the worst-performing brigade in Baishi Commune. Our arable land area was the smallest in the entire commune, even in the entire city, and in the entire province.
We have a lot of orchards in our area, and Hongqi Brigade is located in a basin surrounded by mountains, making it difficult to get in and out. In short, the conditions aren't great. If you can tolerate these conditions, I'll volunteer to let you go to Hongqi Brigade for rural work.
Anyway, you guys probably aren't very good at farming, so the other brigade leaders will likely agree.
After Gu Yunyang finished speaking, Zhang Jianjun said helplessly, "You're being too disrespectful! Although we've never done farm work before, we'll try our best."
Chen Xiangrong agreed with him, complaining, "That's right, we haven't even gone yet, and you're already looking down on us. Besides, didn't you come from the capital just like us? You've never worked in the fields before, have you? If you can do it, so can we.
Gu Yunyang spread his hands: "That's different. When I got there, I raised cattle in the cowshed. Then I became the brigade secretary. You might not know that the brigade secretary's job is to coordinate work. I don't have to work in the fields myself. I get full work points every day."
ah?
Zhang Jianjun and Chen Xiangrong were both taken aback: "Can we take it?"
Gu Yunyang's expression, as if he were joking, made both of them a little embarrassed.
After making a joke, the atmosphere among everyone became much more relaxed.
The nervousness and fear that Zhang Jianjun and Chen Xiangrong felt when going to the countryside had long since vanished.
At noon, Gu Yunyang took out the lunchbox that Captain Liu had brought for them, which contained braised pork and shredded pork with sweet bean sauce.
Zhang Jianjun and Chen Xiangrong both brought dumplings.
"Come on, let's all eat together. Let's finish the food we brought quickly, or it might spoil by tonight."
In fact, Gu Yunyang wouldn't break if it were placed in the base's space.
However, it's best to keep a low profile when you're out in public.
In the afternoon, everyone took a nap.
That evening, Gu Yunyang treated them to a boxed meal from the train.
Speaking of which, the boxed meals on the train, although they don't taste particularly good, at least they don't cost money, right?
Of course, the price is also very high.
Chen Xiangrong was a little embarrassed, but Gu Yunyang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I've already received my salary. When you go to the countryside, you'll have to earn work points yourselves."
But don't worry, our Red Flag Brigade is surrounded by mountains, and mushrooms grow on the mountains every time it rains.
"I'll take you mushroom picking in the mountains then. We can dry them and mail some home. We can also give some to the supply and marketing cooperative and earn a little extra money."
laugh.
A snicker came from the side.
Gu Yunyang turned around and saw the girl sleeping in the upper bunk next to him.
He was also one of those people who were just using moral blackmail.
Judging from her appearance, she was also an educated youth sent to the countryside.
Gu Yunyang didn't even bother with her. What he could do and what he wanted to do was none of anyone else's business.
He's telling the truth, and whether others believe him or not, he has no obligation to explain.
"Ignore her, let's talk about our own things."
