Red Flag Commune
At this time, Li Xiangyang, the village chief of Ping'an Brigade, who was squatting at the gate of the commune, was chatting with people from other brigades.
"I don't know what the educated youth sent down this time will be like, and I don't know if they can work...the double harvest season is coming soon." As he said this, he handed a cigarette to the captain of the Qingshan Brigade next door.
The captain of the Qingshan Brigade took it and took a sip:
"I think it's really ridiculous. They are all city kids who can't do anything. You still expect them to work? I'll be lucky if they don't cause any trouble."
Thinking of those trouble-making educated youth in their team, they would make a big fuss about nothing, and they were incompetent at everything they did and had nothing left over!
He sighed, pointed to the sky and continued, "Hey, Old Li, what are those people up there thinking? They said they want scholars to build the countryside, but aren't they here to farm? They can't even farm well, and it's just a mess!"
"Old Liu, be careful with your words!" Old man Li regretted talking to him. This guy was a man of few words. What if the news got out and implicated him? He didn't want to join the Revolutionary Committee at his age.
"What? What did I say wrong? If we want to farm, we have to rely on the old hands. What can green hands do?"
At the end he added: "He is still a greenhorn from the city!"
Even so, new educated youth are assigned to rural areas every year, and it is unclear whether they are here to support the countryside or to bring harm to it.
According to him, the city couldn't afford to support so many people, so they were sent to the countryside to be raised...
Old Li felt sympathetic, but he didn't dare to say that there was something wrong with the policy above. He could only squat under the wall and sigh with the other people in the brigade...
What can I do? Nothing!
There's no point in complaining. I just hope I'll be luckier this year so I can give them a few decent ones that can work in the fields.
At worst, he can assign a few less troublesome people, who won't be like those educated youth in Qingshan Brigade who love to stir up trouble. He doesn't want to follow them around and clean up their messes every day!
While they were talking, Old Man Li saw several men and women running towards his tractor. He tapped the pipe in his hand and said to the old man beside him, "Okay, I'm here. I have to go back soon. You guys should leave early too. There's a lot of work to do in the fields. Hahahaha."
Everyone was sour: It's just a broken tractor, what's so great about it!

"Han Muchen, Lu Wensheng, Shen Lingling, Lu Hao, Bai Qian?"
Old man Li, wearing a brand new blue cloth shirt, was drawing on a piece of paper and a pen. When he saw five educated youths running towards him from afar, he began to call out their names. However, his mouth smelled strongly of corn. Fortunately, Lu Wensheng and the others could understand him.
"Yes, yes, it's us."
"Hello, sir. I am Han Muchen. These are Lu Wensheng, Shen Lingling, Lu Hao, and Bai Qian."
"Hello, comrade uncle!"
Everyone greeted the old man and walked forward a few steps with their luggage. After the old man confirmed that it was the educated youth, he took a pen and made a few gestures on the paper. Lu Wensheng saw him tick the names of several people, then folded them up and put them in his pocket.
When Old Man Li looked up and saw that everyone was still staring at him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes:
"Why are you standing there without getting in the car? Why do you want an old man to help you get in?"
After saying that, he was the first to climb onto the tractor. Hey, their brigade was the only one in the surrounding area that had a tractor. Just look at the envious looks of those old guys!
These kids are lucky to be assigned to their team...
After he sat down in a heroic and confident manner, he ordered the driver in front of him with a look of disgust: "Erzhuzi, go down and help them carry the luggage. You are such a grown man, but you don't have any manners at all." No wonder he can't get a wife.
"Hey, Third Uncle. I'll be right there..."
The young man named Erzhuzi got off the tractor to help everyone move their luggage, and he didn't forget to greet everyone: "Hello, comrades, my name is Li Erzhu, and I'm a tractor driver from the Ping An Brigade.
The person in the car is our village chief, Li Xiangyang. If you have any problems, just look for him. "
Lu Wensheng and his companions hurriedly thanked him, saying that they had to be humble when they were on someone else's territory.
Li Xiangyang, who was in the car, heard his nephew trying to promote him, and couldn't help but want to curse him as a little bastard. He was busy enough just doing the official business in the village, and with all these educated youths, this little bastard thought he was going to die, right?
He urged unhappily, "Hurry up and get in the car, there is still work to do in the fields!"
After everyone got on the tractor, Li Xiangyang did not delay any longer and immediately directed Li Erzhu to go back. Since it was noon, they had to make arrangements for the new educated youth.
Lu Wensheng just sat down, looked at the sun, and then obediently took out a large piece of cotton cloth from his pocket. He covered his head and face without paying attention to the surprised looks of the crowd...
Shen Lingling asked in confusion: "Shengsheng, why are you wrapping yourself in a piece of cloth in such hot weather?"
Lu Wensheng: "Oh, I'm afraid of the sun."
She didn't want to explain, everyone would know once she started running.
Shen Lingling always felt that it was not that simple, so she took out a shirt from the bag and held it over her head, following suit.
Bai Qian looked at the two's actions with disdain, stroking her hair and mockingly said, "Ugly people are more likely to do weird things!"
She shouldn't cover up such a pretty face.
Lu Wensheng ignored her, thinking that God would teach her how to behave in the future.
As the rumbling sound rang out, Li Erzhu sat in the driver's seat, carrying the crank under everyone's envious eyes.
Hey! You know what, this Erzhuzi is pretty good looking...
He was just a little bit stupid. Li Xiangyang stood in the truck bed and shouted:
"Set off!"
Li Erzhu started the tractor and drove away.
"Is this thing voice-controlled?"
Ha ha ha ha
Lu Wensheng had the opportunity to experience a convertible car of this era. Accompanied by gusts of dust and rumbling black smoke, he quickly wrapped the cloth around his face tighter.
Halfway through the journey, everyone finally understood why Lu Wensheng had to wrap up his head and face. The rustling sound of the dirt was simply fatal, and it kept hitting people's faces!
Bai Qian couldn't laugh now. She was very annoyed and thought that Lu Wensheng was deliberately making fun of her. She knew it would be like this but he didn't remind her. He must have done this to her because he saw that Brother Muchen liked her.
Lu Wensheng: Heaven and earth are my conscience! She is really drunk. How did this guy's strange brain circuit come about?
Ma Yingjie also realized at this time that he had nothing to cover his head and face. He opened his big bag with a hard heart and directly stuck his head in it. It was better to suffocate to death than to eat dirt.
…
What kind of people are they!
Han Muchen was afraid that he would suffocate to death, so he took out a piece of old coarse cloth from his bag and put it on together with him. This guy was pretty good after getting along with him all the way, and he wanted to protect his little friend.
Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling looked at each other and saw the strong fire of gossip in each other's eyes.
Bai Qian: I’m so angry! They are isolating me again!
She was reluctant to take out her skirt and had no extra fabric, so she could only look at the four people's "Arab" looks and feel angry.
