The sky gradually darkened, and the cries of animals could be heard from the mountains from time to time, which was eerie and desolate. The few people stopped complaining about being tired and quickly followed.
Ningxia felt like she was walking around in circles in the mountains, like she was walking in a maze. The trees were still the same trees, the soil was still the same soil, but the man in front of her seemed to have his own GPS navigation system.
Not until everyone's feet lost feeling did they finally see a narrow path leading to the outside.
The members of the brigade stopped and looked at these people who suddenly appeared. This place was completely different from the rural area in Ningxia's memory. Rows of mud houses were densely packed together.
There are rows of adobe houses with straw roofs, occasionally interspersed with a few houses built with stones. The most conspicuous are the brick and tile houses, which are obviously the wealthy families in the brigade.
It was just time to get off work, and the team leader took them to the team's assembly point. Everyone saw that the team leader had brought the educated youth back, and it was obvious that he had something to say to them, so they all gathered together.
There were only a few people coming and going in the team, and suddenly a few new faces showed up. Everyone was very curious, and without the team leader shouting, they all ran over as if they were looking at a monkey.
"Look at that guy in front. Why is he so fair and tender? He looks just like the steamed buns made with leavened dough at home."
"What kind of man is that? He should be called a comrade. He's uneducated. Besides, what's the use of a man so white? It's obvious that he's good-looking but useless." Some men in the team were dissatisfied and looked at Xu Hengzheng with disgust.
Those women have no taste and just like this kind of pretty boys.
"Oh my God, look at that person at the back. Is that a person? Could it be the female demon that followed us down from the mountain?"
"Man Zhujia, what nonsense are you talking about? What about demons and ghosts? Down with all the monsters and monsters. Be careful with your mouth." Before anyone else could say anything, the captain scolded.
"She looked up, her eyes moved, and it was a person. Oh my god, was she looking at me? She was looking at me. Why does she look like this? We are all born by the same parents, with the same nose and eyes, so why are we different? It's so unfair."
The group of people from Ningxia felt like they had gone deaf and remained silent as they watched these people pointing fingers at them.
"Okay, we've met the people. These are our new educated youth this year. Welcome everyone." Seeing that everyone was talking more and more outrageous, the team leader quickly changed the subject.
No one seemed to hear what the captain said. Except for the children who were laughing and clapping, the other team members were still looking at Ningxia and the others.
The others didn't matter, at most they were just there to watch the show. The team leader was secretly worried when he saw the excitement of some of the young men in the team.
"Okay, everyone, go back. We'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future. Come with me to the educated youth camp first. I have some things to tell you."
"I know you're concerned about food, so I'll send it to you shortly. However, this food is on loan from the brigade and must be returned later. Also, tomorrow is a day off, and I'll go call you. If you have anything you haven't bought, go to the commune as soon as possible. The next day off won't be until half a month later. Your educated youth leader will take care of everything else."
The captain ignored the curious looks of the team members, fearing that they would say something strange again, and hurriedly took the group away.
The team leader took them to the educated youth site and left.
The educated youth point was located in the center of the entire brigade, and it was a rare brick and tile house. A few people felt relieved. Later they learned that this was the ancestral temple of the Heishan Brigade.
Later, all these were banned, and those that needed to be demolished were demolished, leaving only one empty house. Until the educated youth went to the countryside, the team leader decided to turn it into an educated youth site.
At this time, the educated youth living here had also finished work. They knew that new educated youth would be arriving today, so they were all waiting in the yard.
It was not until they saw the team leader bringing the people in that they came out one by one to welcome the newcomers. When they saw the people from Ningxia, the old educated youth at the educated youth site were stunned.
They knew the team leader well. How could he bring back such a group of people? None of them looked capable of working. In the past, those he had brought back could at least earn six work points.
The captain has always been a good judge of talent, and he is a very capable person. Why did he fail this year?
The captain, who had a keen eye for talent, had no words to express his suffering.
"Wang Zhiwei is the person in charge of your educated youth. If you have any problems, go to him. I will go back and distribute food to you." The team leader obviously didn't want to get along with them and left in a hurry.
The educated youth looked at each other, and each of them felt very uneasy.
"Welcome, please come in first." Wang Zhiwei looked at the faces of several people and his eyes flashed.
"I'm the educated youth leader. The team leader will tell you about the brigade's affairs. I'm responsible for our educated youth affairs. There are two rooms in the educated youth camp, one for men and one for women. Each room has two large bunk beds. You can decide how to divide them up."
"The most important issue is food. The educated youth camp has finished its meal today, so you'll have to worry about your own dinner. Starting tomorrow, you'll have to hand in your food according to the rules. To be fair, you'll eat whatever you hand in, no matter how much you hand in."
"There wasn't much work to do at the educated youth camp. The female educated youth collected firewood, and the male educated youth carried water. We all worked together to pick up the vegetables grown at the educated youth camp, and we took turns cooking. And after the autumn harvest, everyone had to go collect firewood for the winter."
Wang Zhiwei repeated everything he could remember, but he was worried when he saw that these people obviously didn't listen carefully. From the looks of these people, he could tell that they were not honest, and their youth league site would be even more lively in the future.
"I don't want to sleep in a bunk bed. I always have my own room at home. Is there any house for one person here?" Ningxia was worrying about how to get a room of her own when she heard Zhang Yining ask the question she wanted to hear most.
