"We drank at the Commune Office."
"Oh, I see." The woman nodded and lifted the hair that was wrapped in gray cloth to her ears.
Uncle Li asked his eleven-year-old son to tie the ox rope. He dusted off his hands and came over to greet Chu Yanyan and the others. Pointing at these honest people, he said, "These are the villagers who are responsible for receiving you."
"Hello, uncles."
The farmers in the fields nodded dryly.
"This is Uncle Nine from the team, Li Shixin. He has a wife and three children, but one of them is away in the army and hasn't returned. The bridal chamber they built is currently unoccupied. You can choose to live with Uncle Nine and his family. Aunt Nine is a bit quiet, but very friendly."
"Well, we have two children. How old are they? I'm just worried that they won't have enough food to eat." Chen Feiyang, a tough-looking male educated youth, spoke up, scratching his head a little embarrassedly as he spoke.
Li Shixin smiled, revealing his hard teeth: "The older children in my family are in their teens, and the younger ones are still playing in the mud. There is definitely enough food, and the commune provides it." As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Uncle Li.
Uncle Li nodded: "Uncle Jiu is a little wrong."
"Then I'll go with Uncle Jiu." Chen Feiyang said with a grin.
"Okay, okay, kid, where is your luggage? I'll help you move it."
"Here are mine, please."
“…”
After dealing with one, Uncle Li continued to introduce the other three people. Pointing to an old man with gray hair, he said, "This is the eighth master of the team, Li Dengdan. He has two grandchildren at home. His son and daughter-in-law went to the city to make revolution. They are usually not at home. The grandfather and his grandson are the only ones in the village house."
Zhang Na, the baby-faced educated youth next to Chu Yanyan, raised her hand and said, "I'll live with Eighth Grandpa's family. I really like children."
Uncle Li nodded and pointed at a sturdy man in his thirties with tanned skin. "This is Uncle Li Fanggui, the Eighteenth. He has a wife, three children, and an elderly parent. His house is big, but it's a bit far away."
Chu Yanyan was waiting for everyone to finish choosing. He chose the last one, but the system said, "Yanyan, you chose this person. His home is very close to the target's home."
Jiang Tiantian listened and nodded. She looked at Chu Yanyan, who was standing aside in a trance, and called out, "Comrade Chu, what do you think?"
Chu Yanyan came back to his senses and looked at his Eighteenth Uncle: "I'll go live at his Eighteenth Uncle's house."
"Yeah, okay."
Li Fanggui immediately asked Chu Yanyan: "Comrade Zhiqing, where are your things? I'll help you carry them."
Chu Yanyan walked towards the oxcart, took down his luggage, handed it to the uncle, and said politely, "Excuse me, Uncle Eighteen."
"It's okay." Li Fanggui answered honestly with a simple look on his face.
In addition to the package in her hand, Chu Yanyan also had a suitcase for things like quilts and clothes.
Li Fanggui, carrying a suitcase in one hand and a lantern in the other, looked at the handsome, bright-eyed educated youth from the city and said, "I'll take you to my home."
"Well, please lead the way."
Before Chu Yanyan left, he heard Jiang Tiantian's voice: "Uncle, which house should I stay at?"
Uncle Li's voice came: "Live in my house."
"Oh, so that's it." Jiang Tiantian said.
Chu Yanyan turned her head to see Jiang Tiantian's luggage being taken in by Uncle Li, then turned around and followed Li Fanggui towards the road ahead.
His mission is important.
Walking forward along the dirt road, there are many mud houses built on both sides of the road. As you walk by, you can smell the aroma of food coming from the mud houses.
The commune in Zhushi Village is only open for lunch. Breakfast and dinner are prepared by yourself.
The smell made him hungry. He hadn't been able to eat during the whole journey in the car. Now that they stopped for a while, his stomach started to protest and he wanted to eat something to fill his stomach.
In order to cover up her stomach growling, Chu Yanyan's shoes rubbed against the muddy road, making a scraping sound.
Li Fanggui, who was walking in front, thought Chu Yanyan was tired and said, "There's still some distance to go, comrade, don't worry."
Chu Yanyan raised his head: "Oh, no hurry." He was just a little hungry.
