Soon, just as he had feared, Gu Yunyang was wearing a red flower on his chest and was pulled along to take a picture.
Gu Yunyang looked somewhat resigned to his fate, but in the end, he still managed a smile.
Otherwise, he worried that others would question whether he was truly committed to going to the countryside.
These are not the most difficult years yet.
But he was also afraid that others would bring up his past mistakes.
After finishing all that, Gu Yunyang finally boarded the train with his bag and net, and found his seat.
"This trip will take several days. I remember when I was in college, high-speed rail was already common. This is even slower than the old green train."
He remembered hearing his senior classmates say that the green train from his hometown to the capital took no more than 20 hours, and at most 30 hours.
Back then, you could still buy sleeper berths.
Now?
Seemingly not wanting Gu Yunyang to overthink things, a lot of people soon gathered around.
Gu Yunyang noticed a girl carrying luggage over. Although he looked thin, he was actually very strong.
I reached out and helped the other person put their things on the luggage rack.
"Thank you. My name is Han Xue. I'm going to work in the countryside in Guangdong Province."
This is the starting station, so there's no need to introduce yourself as being from the capital.
Furthermore, there's no need to mention anyone's background, nor is it necessary.
Judging from the other person's clothes and demeanor, Gu Yunyang could tell that the other person came from a good family.
Gu Yunyang also lent a hand to the others.
Helping one person is helping, helping a group of people is helping.
Helping only one person can easily draw criticism.
At this time, the relationship between men and women was still quite tense. Gu Yunyang had no intention of being attracted to her and thought it best to avoid suspicion.
"Hello, I am Guo Tiejun, and I am also going to Guangdong Province."
"Hello, I'm Zhang Jie, and I'm also going to Guangdong Province."
"Hello, I am Yang Aiguo, and I am also going to Guangdong Province."
Suddenly, everyone around started introducing themselves, and it turned out that everyone was going to Guangdong Province.
Han Xue smiled and said, "This carriage is probably full of people going to Guangdong Province. But it's different when you look at the communes below."
Gu Yunyang nodded and introduced himself: "I am Gu Yunyang. I was sent to the Baishi Commune in Guangdong Province as part of the rural work program."
As for which brigade I will be assigned to, that hasn't been decided yet; we'll have to wait until later to make a more specific decision.
However, Gu Yunyang took the initiative to go to the countryside and used some connections to determine his destination.
He mainly goes back to his biological parents' home.
With Gu Anning's connections at the time, this was achieved smoothly.
Looking back now, Gu Anning must have regretted it.
I wonder how he's managing his life these days.
There is no mandatory requirement for them to go to the countryside; they are encouraged to do so voluntarily.
So those who sign up at this time are either from the same background as Gu Yunyang, and are forced by their families to sign up "voluntarily".
The others all came to the countryside with lofty ideals and good wishes.
Although I feel a little sad about leaving my hometown.
But supported by their lofty ideals, and having met so many like-minded comrades, the group immediately began to talk excitedly.
Judging from their boastful manner, all they talked about was how they would develop the countryside in the future.
Gu Yunyang couldn't bear to discourage them.
In recent years, natural disasters have taught them a lesson.
Once the natural disaster is over, if they are lucky enough to survive, the long hours of arduous farm work will teach them how ridiculous their current thoughts are.
Of course, historically, not all educated youth who went to the countryside gained nothing.
But the vast majority remain mediocre and unproductive.
