Chapter 3 Protecting them with all our might



He rarely takes vacations, but this time he's officially on a two-month break. If he can use this vacation to find a girlfriend, that would be great.

Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were too nervous to respond and both looked at Wen Xi. Wen Xi was a little depressed. She seemed to be the youngest of the three, so why were they all relying on her?

The other party were soldiers who defended the country. It was because of them that everyone could have a peaceful life. Wenxi admired and was grateful to them, so she politely replied, "We are going to the countryside in Dongfang Commune, Kaiming County. As for which production team we will be assigned to, we don't know."

Upon hearing this, Jin Changfeng couldn't help but feel excited. "We're also going to the Eastern Commune. Let's travel together! I see you have a lot of luggage. We didn't bring much. We'll help you with your luggage in a bit."

As he spoke, he tapped Zhao Jianguo's toe with his own, and Zhao Jianguo nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we don't have much luggage."

When did Jin Changfeng become someone who meddles in other people's business?

He always had a cold face towards both men and women, as if they owed him hundreds of dollars. But now he's being very attentive to three women, even offering to carry their luggage. I wonder which one he's really interested in.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jianguo turned to look at Jin Changfeng and saw that his gaze was on Wen Xi. He understood everything. So this was the kind of girl Jin Changfeng liked. She was indeed very beautiful.

Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but chuckle to himself, never expecting that Jin Changfeng would like this kind of thing.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Jianguo. May I ask your names?" Zhao Jianguo had no interest in Wen Xi, so he was direct and not afraid that Wen Xi would see through him.

"Comrade Zhao, hello. My name is Shen Jiaojiao. I'm from Yanjing and I'm going to Dongfang Commune in Kaiming County to work as an educated youth." Zhao Jianguo's attitude was very easygoing, and he seemed quite gentle, so Shen Jiaojiao felt less nervous. After speaking, she took Wen Xi's arm and said with a smile, "This is my classmate and friend, Wen Xi."

"I am Jiang Yue, from Jinshi. I also went to Dongfang Commune in Kaiming County as an educated youth."

Song Lan and Zhou Bai, who were only separated from Jiang Yue by an aisle, heard the self-introductions and stood up to introduce themselves as well. They were then greeted with enthusiastic applause, which made them feel proud.

After everyone introduced themselves, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Then Zhao Jianguo started sharing some things that he could share, which made the atmosphere on the train very lively, and everyone began to chat enthusiastically.

Listening to the group of people around her chatting in a jumbled mess, Wenxi turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. As she looked, she closed her eyes amidst the conversation.

The next morning, just after six o'clock, the train announcer began broadcasting that the train was about to arrive in Kaiming County, asking everyone to prepare their belongings and get ready to disembark.

Wen Xi opened her eyes groggily, rubbed them to wake herself up, then stood up and reached for the canvas bag on the luggage rack.

However, a pair of hands reached over her head and took both canvas bags from the luggage rack, placing them on the floor between the two rows of seats.

Wen Xi turned around and saw that it was Jin Changfeng. She smiled and thanked him, "Comrade Jin, thank you."

"You're welcome." Jin Changfeng smiled faintly. Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, not expecting that someone who looked so cold and hard would actually smile.

Then Wenxi squatted down and pulled out the two military green canvas bags that were stuffed under the seat. She carried four large suitcases and one small suitcase by herself.

If it weren't for her two younger brothers seeing her off at the train station, she wouldn't have been able to bring so much stuff on board.

When Jin Changfeng saw Wen Xi drag out two more canvas bags, accompanied by clattering sounds, his lips twitched involuntarily. Could she have brought all the pots and pans with her?

How did she, such a thin little girl, manage to carry so many things onto the train?

Fortunately, he ran into it.

The train swayed and came to a stop at the station. Everyone crowded off the train with their large bags and small luggage. Wenxi and her group waited until there were hardly any people left in the carriage before getting off.

Jin Changfeng carried three of Wenxi's four large canvas bags, Zhao Jianguo carried one, and Zhao Jianguo also carried one for Shen Jiaojiao. Song Lan and Zhou Bai helped Jiang Yue with her luggage.

Three girls followed behind, carrying the smallest duffel bag.

In those days, the only trains were green-skinned trains. This group of educated youth who went to the countryside sat on the train for four whole days. Their bones were about to fall apart. When they got off the train, their legs were trembling, as if they had climbed a mountain for a long time.

Winters in Hue Chau province aren't too cold, only a few degrees below zero, but when I got off the train, the cold wind still made me shiver.

Shen Jiaojiao pulled Wen Xi's clothes tighter, "Xiao Xi, you're not fully recovered yet, so you still need to be careful."

"Dongfang Commune, educated youth from Dongfang Commune, come this way!" A young man in a suit was waving a sign and shouting loudly by the wall opposite the train station.

Everyone hurried toward the man. Jin Changfeng put down his luggage, stretched his wrists, and asked, "Comrade, we're also going to the Eastern Commune. Can we come together?"

Upon seeing that they were two great military comrades, the person in charge nodded and said, "Okay, but you'll have to wait a little while."

"It'll be fine in a little while," Jin Changfeng said with a smile.

Everyone put their luggage on the ground and then plopped down on it. They were all exhausted. After such a long train ride and carrying such heavy luggage, even the boys were finding it hard to bear.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one else was coming this way, the young man knew that there were no more educated youths. He said, "Hello, fellow educated youths. I am Fang Chengxin, the person in charge of the educated youth office. Please come with me to the educated youth office to confirm your assigned location."

So everyone picked up their luggage and followed behind Fang Chengxin.

Shen Jiaojiao took Wen Xi's arm and said with a worried look, "We still need to assign locations? Does that mean we'll have to separate? Xiao Xi, I don't want to be separated from you. We've known each other for so many years. In unfamiliar places, we can look after each other. I'll be scared if we're separated."

Wen Xi patted Shen Jiaojiao's hand and said, "Don't worry."

In their previous life, they were not separated, but were assigned to the same production team, so this time would naturally be no different.

In her past life, among so many people living together in the educated youth settlement, the three of them had the best relationship, supporting and taking care of each other. Wenxi was a grateful person; they had all helped her in her past life, so in this life, she naturally had to do her best to protect them.
