Bai Guoguo had no idea how big a mess he had caused, and he just happily took the train back.
Before getting on the bus, I bought two pounds of red sausage on Qiulin Road. I used two pounds of meat coupons and a little over one yuan, which was an extremely cheap price.
Although Yang Xiaoyong had not received his salary yet and was short of money, he still bought half a pound to try it.
After being squeezed on the train for more than ten hours, Bai Guoguo and Yang Xiaoyong finally returned to the familiar Huixian Railway Station.
After getting off the train station, I squeezed on the bus for more than an hour and arrived at Hongqi Commune.
That’s not all. Each person bought two buns at the state-owned restaurant to fill their stomachs.
After a short rest and more than two hours of walking, Bai Guoguo and Yang Xiaoyong finally returned to the Red Star Brigade.
"Phew, I feel like I've walked the entire journey of my life. I'm finally almost there!"
Finally seeing the willow tree at the entrance of the Red Star Production Brigade village, Bai Guoguo was so excited that he almost cried.
God knows, it turns out that it is so hard to make a debut in this era!
When I went there, someone took me there, so I didn't feel tired. But when I came back and had to walk by myself, I realized how difficult it was.
"Yeah, I didn't expect to have to walk for so long. My legs are about to break."
Yang Xiaoyong also came from the city and had never walked such a long distance before.
As the two got closer to the village entrance, several elderly people who played with their children under the big willow tree every day saw Bai Guoguo and Yang Xiaoyong.
"Aunt Liu, do you think those two are Xiaobai and Yang?"
Grandma Li poked Aunt Liu with her hand and asked.
"Where are they? Let me see. Oh, it's really Xiaobai and the other educated youth back. I heard they went to help us sell mountain products. They even asked Aunt Gao to weave a lot of baskets for them. Are they back after selling them?"
When Aunt Liu saw that the people coming were Bai Guoguo and Yang Xiaoyong, she slapped her thigh excitedly.
The cadres in the team had said before that if the mountain products were sold, they, the old people, would have jobs.
Sorting and packaging mountain products, or drying vegetables and mushrooms are all fine tasks. They are all light work.
The work is not hard and the work points are quite high, so these old guys don’t have to eat idle meals and suffer from bullying.
So the old people under the big willow tree could no longer sit still and rushed towards the two people.
The children were startled and found that their sister Xiaobai had returned. They rushed over shouting with joy.
This little white sister is very generous. As long as they behave themselves, she will give them candy.
"Sister Xiaobai, Sister Bai, you're back?"
The one who rushed the fastest among them was Xiao Huzi. After the little guy recovered from his fever, he grew a lot taller.
"Hey, Xiaohuzi, kids, I'm back. Hello, grandpa and grandma, uncle and auntie, what are you going to do?"
Bai Guoguo saw the little ones rushing towards her, followed by several old people, and she quickly stopped.
"Sister Bai, Sister Bai, look at me, I miss you so much."
Little Tiger hugged Bai Guoguo's thighs and jumped for joy.
"Sister Bai, there's me, there's me, we miss you too."
"Yes, yes, we miss you too."
Lanhua, Yingzi, Gangdan and Tiedan were not to be outdone and all shouted that they wanted Baiguoguo too.
Although the other children had eaten Bai Guoguo’s candy before, they were not very familiar with him and followed behind him embarrassedly and laughed foolishly.
"Hahaha, you are all good kids. Sister will treat you to some candy." Bai Guoguo was so happy to see so many children liking her.
She took out a handful of fruit candies from her bag and gave one to each of them.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to give more, but candy is expensive these days. Giving too much will arouse suspicion, and some people will take her as a sucker.
So she only gave these children candy once or twice.
However, little Tiger often came to play with her, so he was favored more and was given a lot of cookies, candies and canned food.
Just as she was distributing candy, the old people came over.
"Xiaobai Zhiqing, Yang Zhiqing, how are things going? Have we sold all our mountain products? Do we old guys have work to do now?"
Grandma Li asked with eager eyes and hope.
"Sold out, all sold out. As for the work, we will announce it on the radio when the time comes. Everyone, wait for the news!"
Bai Guoguo did not keep the people in suspense and answered the old people's questions with a smile.
These old people just want to have something to do to prove that they are not just eating for free.
"Haha, yes, yes, everyone, don't worry, our trip will go smoothly this time."
It was the first time that Yang Xiaoyong faced so many elderly people’s eager eyes, and he felt embarrassed and just kept smiling foolishly.
The old people were overjoyed when they heard the exact news and praised the two young people.
Some even wanted to introduce them to potential partners, which frightened the two of them so much that they said goodbye briefly and rushed back to the educated youth compound.
After being out for a few days, both of them felt smelly and had to go back to wash up before reporting to the team.
A group of little kids watched the two people running away and laughed.
