Chapter 18 Youth Point



The silence in the oxcart made the fierceness of the wind and snow outside seem even more pronounced.

No one in the car spoke, and everyone held their cotton-padded jackets tightly.

It's too cold.

The cold wind made my teeth hurt when I spoke.

Lin Anmin was used to seeing the group of young kids in front of him shivering from the cold.

It's very cold here every year, and everyone stays at home during the winter.

I don’t know why a group of educated youth were arranged to come here at this time this year.

This year, this group of people have no work points, so logically they cannot get any food either. It would be better if they could get some food from their village this year.

"Let me tell you something. You educated youth just arrived in the village this year and don't have any work points. Logically, you won't get any food this year, but every family in our village has some surplus food. You can decide how much food you want to borrow this year to last until the new harvest arrives in the fall. I'll take you to borrow food tomorrow."

They had to take on debt as soon as they arrived, and many people in the car had conflicted looks on their faces.

"You are pretty lucky this year. The commune has given you some charcoal. It's tied to the back of the car. You can divide it up among yourselves when you get to the educated youth center. I will only say one thing. If you run out of charcoal, go borrow some from other families. Don't be embarrassed. This winter is freezing to death."

The atmosphere in the car became increasingly silent, and everyone had different thoughts in their minds.

No matter why everyone went to the countryside in the first place, surviving became their first goal after arriving here.

The quiet atmosphere makes people unable to help but doze off.

At least, Lin Yian couldn't resist the urge to fall asleep.

Before getting off the train, she bought herself a complete set of warm clothes - fleece pants, fleece vest, and cotton socks... These were the thickest and lightest clothes in the room, and she put on a big cotton jacket on the outside.

She is definitely the one wearing the most clothes in the car now.

Lin Yian felt like his eyelids were almost glued shut.

Even though his whole body was shaking from side to side with the bumps of the ox cart, Lin Yian couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.

Lin Yian was prepared before going to bed and pulled her scarf up as high as possible.

Her elder brother was sitting on her right, and Jiang Xue was sitting on her left, so she was sleeping on her right side.

Ji Zebai looked at the little girl sitting opposite him with most of her face buried in her scarf, not afraid of suffocating herself.

The little head moved little by little, and finally hit Lin Jiancheng's shoulder directly.

Then

"Hiss, it hurts."

Lin Yian rubbed his forehead. Why is it so hard?

Even though Lin Jiancheng's injuries have not healed yet, his physique is the result of long-term training.

If they collide directly, there is a high probability that the person who gets hurt will not be Lin Jiancheng.

Lin Yian now had a headache and was still sleepy, with red circles around his eyes.

"Jiancheng, stand up straight! Ah Ci, lean on your brother's arm and take a rest. We will be in the village soon."

Lin Jiancheng saw that his little cousin was about to fall asleep, so he lowered his shoulders so that people could lean on him to sleep and feel more comfortable.

But the actual conditions were not taken into account.

Lin Yian quickly shook his head: "Uncle, no need! I can just lie down and rest for a while."

Uncle doesn’t know yet that brother is injured, but she knows.

If this thing is smashed again, it will be very torturous, and I will have to be charged exorbitant prices by unscrupulous merchants.

Lin Yian tugged at Lin Jiancheng's clothes, signaling him to relax and not to keep it stiff, as it would not be good for his injury; he then quickly lay down on his knees and went to sleep.

Ji Zebai looked at the person who was about to touch his knee, and his hand moved slightly.

Well, it looks a bit like the tiger cub that their troops picked up during a training march in the mountains.

It has fluffy fur and a small body, but will mercilessly show its sharp claws when it senses danger.

Ji Zebai rarely felt a sense of curiosity beyond responsibility about the matter that Lin Jiancheng had asked him to do.

Who could have wronged this girl?

"Oh."

The ox cart stopped.

Lin Anmin lifted the curtain, took a look and said, "Get off the car, we are in the village now."

The educated youth picked up their luggage and got off the bus one after another, and Lin Yian, who had just been awakened, subconsciously picked up his luggage and got off the bus as well.

Go, grab a spot...

"Ah Ci, what luggage are you taking?"

Lin Yian almost threw the bag back, but when she heard the familiar name, she remembered that she was not on the subway and no one wanted to snatch her bag.

She asked why the subway was so low.

"I...I was confused after sleeping."

Lin Yian loosened his hand, and Lin Jiancheng stuffed the luggage back under the stool.

"Uncle San will be catching a bus home soon, so go down and meet the educated youth in the village first."

????

"Brother, does this ox cart belong to our family?"

"Yes, Uncle San is good at raising these livestock. He has helped the county veterinary station before, and the commune gave him a reward, so our family is the only one in the whole village that has a cow."

After getting off the car, Lin Yian couldn't help but touch the bull's head.

This is her cow!

No wonder it's so strong, it looks like a good bull!

"Dad, it's too cold for you to stand here, go sit in the car; I'll go meet other comrades, and then we'll go home."

"Hey! Go ahead, Dad is waiting for you here."

Lin Anguo still felt his heart was floating. He still couldn't believe that the daughter he had been longing for day and night had really come back.

Lin Anguo subconsciously touched the bull head next to him.

He raised the cow himself, so the cow is very close to him and it is completely acceptable for him to pat its head.

Lin Anguo is an introverted person, so when he has something on his mind he likes to talk to the cow. As he talks, his hand subconsciously touches the cow's head.

It was not until one day when a bald spot appeared on the ox's head that Lin Anguo changed his habit.

The fur is damaged, which the cow does not like very much, so you can’t touch it!

The cow, who was busy eating grass, had no idea that his love was almost ruined by the breeder.

Lin Yian trotted into the yard of the educated youth site.

Lin Jianmao also got off the car, said goodbye to everyone, and went back to his home in the wind and snow.

The educated youth center in Linjia Village consists of two tiled houses, and next to it is a small compartment for cooking, which looks quite spacious.

"Yian, come in quickly."

Jiang Xue called out to Lin Yian who was looking at the yard. The wind and snow were too strong, and Yian's small body was indeed worrying.

“Here it comes!”

Lin Yian walked into the house. There was a big kang in the house, connecting two tiled houses, with a wall in the middle to separate men and women.

But the temperature in this house is not warm, it's just not freezing.

"Captain Lin, the Youth League site is so small. The men can barely fit in, but the girls don't have that much space. How are the five of us going to fit in?"

The moment Lin Yian walked into the room, a sharp and somewhat piercing voice rang out.

Lin Yian glanced at the kang. There were only two bedding rolls, leaving at most one-third of the space.

However, a lot of the remaining space was occupied by several large bags.

"If we take down the clutter on the kang, we can sleep. Jiang Xue, Xiao Yu, come and help me move all this down so we can spread out the quilt and sleep!"
