Early in the morning, the captain asked the driver to harness the ox cart.
"I heard that the two educated youth are coming today. Go to the county town to pick them up!"
He whispered again: "Be careful on the road and see if these two people are reliable."
There are too many secrets in the brigade. I just hope two honest and capable educated youth can come.
Li Xiucheng came over pushing his bicycle.
"I'll go with my fifth uncle." He goes to the county town for work and leaves early every day.
"That's perfect. You go and take a look. I won't go. I have to deliver a message to the captain of Caijia Village today."
If you want to take someone else's residential land for no reason, you should at least give them a heads-up in advance.
Li Xiucheng said readily: "Okay, let me take a look first!"
He also hoped that the people who came would behave themselves. Otherwise, it would be so troublesome! No matter what, he had to go back and tell Jiaojiao to be more restrained recently.
In the county town, a group of people stood at the entrance of the train station. These were newly arrived educated youth.
Two men came over carrying luggage.
One of them asked in a familiar voice, "You are all educated youth, right? Which brigade are you going to?"
An educated youth smiled politely and said, "I'm going to Zhoujia Village. Are you also an educated youth? I didn't see you guys on the bus just now..."
"We're not in the same compartment. Why, are you all in the same compartment?"
As they were chatting, Mengzi from Zhoujia Village came over and asked, "Who are you from Zhoujia Village? Come over here!"
"Me, me, me!" The young man who just spoke quickly raised his hand.
"And me!"
"Where are the educated youth from Heyan Brigade?"
"Here! Here, here!"
"People from Lujia Village are here, come and gather!"
…
Wang Jiacun's driver and Li Xiucheng slowly approached. There were only two young men left in the station square.
"Going to Wangjia Village?" Li Xiucheng asked.
The two young men nodded quickly.
Li Xiucheng looked him up and down and asked, "Where are you from?"
The familiar man smiled and said, "We are from Pingjing. Are you the captain of the brigade? We will rely on you from now on!"
Li Xiucheng looked them up and down before slowly saying, "Oh, I'm not the captain. I'm just an errand boy."
The smile on the familiar face froze for a moment, then he laughed again: "No wonder! I was wondering why the captain was so young! Hahaha."
Li Xiucheng looked at another person, who smiled shyly at him.
"Wu Hua, Li Jun. Come with Uncle Wu!"
The driver glanced at his pipe from the tree and said slowly, "Put the luggage on the cart and follow us."
Wu Hua and Li Jun's faces froze. "Follow them?" Other brigades with four or five people could ride in ox carts, but there were only two of them, and they had to follow?
Wu Hua flattered, "Master, it will take quite a while to walk back to our Wangjia Village brigade, right? How about we walk in one go and rest in between?"
The driver thought for a moment and said, "Alright. Let's go!"
Li Xiucheng frowned as he watched the two educated youths walking away.
Wu Hua is sociable but seems a bit frivolous. Li Jun, on the other hand, is quiet and reserved, but it's hard to tell what he's thinking.
In short, neither of them is the type to be trusted. I hope we can live in peace in the future!
In Wangjia Village, there was an old lady in the village chief's home. This old lady was the martyr's relative that the county chief had mentioned earlier.
The county magistrate sent people here early in the morning in order to arrange things before the educated youth arrived.
The old lady was weak and leaned against the head of the bed.
"I've heard from the county magistrate that you're a hero's mother! Even though you've lost all your children, we're all your children! You can live here with peace of mind. You don't have any children, and my old man has passed away, so we can just be a family. I'll call you mom, and you can just call me the third kid!"
The old lady forced a laugh: "You are already so old, and you are still the captain. It's not appropriate."
"Hey! What are you talking about? It's not too much for an old mother to call her own child anything!"
The captain's wife brought in a basin of water, wrung out a handkerchief deftly, and wiped the old lady's face.
"Just listen to him. You will be the old lady in our family from now on! We are all your juniors! If you look down on me in the future, you can beat and scold me as much as you want!"
The old lady's mouth moved slightly twice, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Oh, it's my fault, my fault!" The captain's wife quickly slapped her mouth.
The old lady held her hand, tears streaming down her face: "It's none of your business. You guys... are so kind!"
The captain's wife laughed and said, "You're wrong, he's really fierce when he scolds people!"
The captain glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense!"
The two of them were flirting with each other, and the old lady looked at them with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips.
When the two educated youth arrived at Wangjia Village at noon, everyone in the team knew that Haiyang's great-grandmother had been brought here and would never return to Haiyang's home.
The arrival of the educated youth brought a bit of liveliness to Wangjia Village. Everyone came to take a look and thought there was nothing special about them. They felt that this educated youth was not as energetic as the young men in their own team!
And it doesn’t look like they are very good at studying. They are probably not as good as the children studying in Wangjia Village!
Wu Hua and Li Jun received a few scattered applause, and then the captain ordered the two families to take them back.
"The educated youth camp hasn't been built yet, so you'll have to bear with it and stay here for a few days. When it's finished, you can move in."
"As for food these two days, since you've just arrived, you've received a ration subsidy. Each of you should start with 30 kilograms of corn bran, 20 kilograms of dark flour, and 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes."
"If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me! Let's adjourn!"
Wu Hua and Li Jun were taken back by Dashan and Xiaoya's families.
These two families shouldered a heavy responsibility. Before entering the door, Dashan's father and Xiaoya's father looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
Look at ours!
