Du Xiaoying saw that it was getting late and reminded them, "Hold on tight, everyone. The road is very bumpy."
"Oh my god, what is that?"
"Corn, it's really tall..."
As a group of educated youth were looking around curiously and sizing up the farmland on both sides of the road, they arrived at the educated youth site amid exclamations.
The team leader had come early and was waiting. Seeing the man jump off the tractor with agility, a smile appeared on his usually serious face. "Guoliang, I came back with your wife today."
"Yeah." Song Guoliang nodded with a smile, his black eyes following the thin figure, his thin lips slightly curled.
Du Xiaoying jumped out of the car and introduced the new educated youths who were carrying large and small bags beside her: "This is the leader of our brigade. The educated youth center you will be staying at in the future is in the back."
"Hello, Captain!"
Team leader Zhao Lei looked at the fair-skinned and well-mannered educated youth, sighed, nodded, and pointed to the two young men and women beside him. "These are the leaders of your educated youth camp, Comrades Liu Ming and Zhang Yun. If you have any questions, you can go to them first."
....
Du Xiaoying looked at the sighing captain and felt a little amused. She said hello and drove the tractor back.
"Mom and Dad, you're back."
Hearing the sound of the tractor, San Ya hurried out and pushed open the gate.
Du Xiaoying winked at the man.
Song Guoliang curled his lips, jumped off the tractor lightly, picked up his three daughters, and said softly, "Hold them tightly."
Du Xiaoying waited until her daughters were seated and held on firmly before she drove the tractor into the yard and parked it safely in the shed.
After the couple unloaded the three children and the bicycle from the car, Du Xiaoying asked, "Where are your eldest and second sisters? Haven't they come back yet?"
"Mom and Dad, we're back~"
The two sisters put down their backpacks with sweat on their foreheads, ran into the house, grabbed some boiled water and drank it in big gulps.
Erya noticed what his father took out of his pocket and asked curiously, "Dad, what is it?"
Song Guoliang waved the bulging thing in his hand, which had been unpacked, and said with a smile, "Newspapers and photos sent by reporter Zhang from the Municipal Daily."
The two sisters' eyes lit up, and Erya hurriedly shouted outside, "Mom, Dad brought back the reporter uncle's newspaper and photos~"
The mother and daughter have been talking about this every night before going to bed recently, and I rushed in immediately after hearing it.
"Where, where?"
....
Song Guoliang looked at his wife and daughter's heads put together, his eyebrows smiling and his thin lips slightly curved.
A black and white family photo came into view.
In the photo, the man's face was tense and solemn. If you didn't know him, you would think he was going into battle to kill the enemy, with a murderous aura around him.
The sisters also pulled their mouth corners stiffly. It was more like they were grinning than laughing, and their movements were very stiff.
Du Xiaoying couldn't help laughing out loud.
Daya's face turned red with embarrassment.
Erya scratched her head and grinned with some annoyance.
Sanya, Siya and Wuya pursed their lips and smiled secretly.
Song Guoliang's expression remained normal, except for his red ears, which betrayed his embarrassment. He coughed lightly and pointed to the picture of his wife driving a tractor in the newspaper. "Wife, look."
Du Xiaoying looked at the black and white newspaper. She held the steering wheel with her hands, concentrating and smiling, giving people a feeling of prosperity and positivity. She couldn't help but straighten her body with pride.
"Comrade Du, as the first female tractor driver in Urumqi, not only encourages us to work harder..."
Listening to the man's low and pleasant voice reading the contents of the newspaper softly, the smile on her lips grew uncontrollably wider and wider, almost reaching her ears.
"Mom is awesome~"
Facing the sparkling eyes of the father and daughter, Du Xiaoying blinked and said, "Ahem, keep working hard in the future!"
The family happily read that small section of the newspaper over and over again, before putting it down with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
Du Xiaoying folded the newspaper neatly and said, "I must keep this newspaper. When my daughter gives birth to my grandchildren, I will tell them about how great their grandmother was when she was young."
Daya blushed, stamped her feet, and ran out in embarrassment.
"Hey, big sister is shy~"
.....
After dinner, Song Guoliang watched Daya and Erya learning to ride bicycles at the gate of the yard.
Daya and Erya can now pedal their bicycles half a circle independently, but they are not very good at turning, so they have to stop and push the bicycle every time.
"Come on, big sister~"
"Come on, second sister~"
Siya and Wuya danced with joy to cheer for their two older sisters.
San Ya was studying seriously with her notebook in her arms, her expression focused, not disturbed by any outside noise at all.
Du Xiaoying was both relieved and distressed, "Saya, don't push yourself too hard. Relax a little bit."
Sanya looked up, smiled and shook her head, "Mom, when I learn to read, I feel very happy and relaxed."
Du Xiaoying was speechless. She didn't expect San Ya to love learning so much.
When she thought about how she had delayed her daughter's education in her previous life, she felt both pain and guilt in her heart. She whispered, "Okay, Sanya, if you like it, I'll support you. In the future, as long as you want to learn, I'll pay for you to go to college and learn more."
San Ya smiled and didn't take her mother's words to heart. Although she was only ten years old, she knew that there was no college entrance examination now, otherwise there wouldn't be so many educated city youth assigned to the village. Some of the educated youth who went to the countryside a few years ago even married the villagers and had children.
Du Xiaoying didn't know what her daughter San Ya was thinking. She just wanted to make a lot of money. Even if her daughter went abroad to study in the future, she would support her wholeheartedly.
Although she didn't think there was anything good about foreign countries, she looked down on those who worshipped foreign things and thought the air abroad was fragrant.
"Xiaoying, it's your turn."
"Coming~" Du Xiaoying hurriedly got up and ran over.
Song Guoliang said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, I will always hold you, just try to keep your balance."
Du Xiaoying nodded heavily. She was not tall and could only reach the ground by tiptoeing when sitting on the bicycle.
"Here I come~"
Song Guoliang sat on the back of the bicycle, maintaining his balance steadily with his two feet, and steadied himself every time he was about to fall.
After deliberately staggering back and forth a few times, Du Xiaoying rode her bike a long way this time, cheering excitedly.
"Let's go~Let's go~"
"Wow, Mom is amazing. She learned it so quickly."
Song Guoliang was secretly surprised to see how quickly his wife mastered riding a bicycle.
I had a strange feeling in my heart, as if...his wife knew how to ride a bicycle before.
Hearing the girls' cheers and applause, Du Xiaoying couldn't help blushing.
She knew how to ride a bicycle in her previous life, and this life was just a legitimate reason for her to ride a bicycle.
The new educated youth who had just received rations from the brigade happened to be passing by the village entrance and heard the noise from afar.
“I didn’t expect there would be bicycles in the countryside.”
"Great! It will be much more convenient for us to go to the county from now on."
