The roads these days are truly appalling.
The group of people were jolted and disoriented in the jeep.
Baiyun clung to the side of the cart, looking at the somewhat desolate but open landscape before her, and took a deep breath. "Sister, the air here is so fresh! Much better than that coal smoke smell in the city!"
This road... it's like sitting on a trampoline, my old bones are about to fall apart.
Xi Mufan's face turned pale from the jolting.
Guan Wenru smiled and said, "You're the youngest here. You're an old man. What are we compared to you?"
Bai Yun chuckled, "It's just a metaphor."
Guan Wenru patted her head. "You'll get used to it. It'll be soon. Just hang in there, we'll be there in no time."
Sure enough, ten minutes later, the car finally came to a smooth stop.
Guan Wenru jumped out of the car nimbly and called out to the several figures who were already waiting by the roadside, "Uncle Wang! Auntie! What are you doing here?"
"We calculated the time and thought you would arrive soon, so we came here to greet you!" Che Wang and Lü Amei strode up to meet them with their two children.
Guan Wenru knew that Che Wang's family was taking the lead by personally welcoming the two educated youths.
In this way, members of the brigade who were not very welcoming to educated youth would have to think twice before trying to bully them in the future.
Understanding the Che family's good intentions, Guan Wenru smiled sincerely, "Uncle Wang, Auntie, Brother Zhenxing, Xiaoni, thank you all."
After saying that, she quickly pulled the two people behind her over, "This is my sister Baiyun, and this is Comrade Xi Mufan. We both came to Dahewan in response to the call to settle down."
"Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!" Che Wang's voice was loud and clear as he extended his hand to the two men. "You two are both good young men and good comrades. If you need anything here in the future, just let me know. We're all family!"
Xi Mufan and Bai Yun quickly reached out to greet him.
They then greeted Lü Amei and the Che Zhenxing siblings.
Then Guan Wenru noticed Che Wang's burning gaze fixed on Xi Mufan's face. "Comrade Xi, I heard from the leaders at the commune that you're studying... studying that thing..."
Lu Amei chimed in with a laugh, "Studying medicine! And a university student at that! Old Che, you're so excited you can't even speak properly!"
"Yes, yes, yes! A medical student!" Che Wang slapped his thigh, his face breaking into a huge smile as if he had found a gold ingot. "Oh my God! Comrade Xi! It's so great that you can come to our brigade!"
Not to mention that our brigade doesn't have a barefoot doctor, even our commune's clinic only has one barefoot doctor, who can only treat minor ailments like headaches and fevers.
Our brigade was dozens of miles away from the commune clinic, and we were terrified if we had any sudden illness.
"Things will be so much better from now on! With you in our brigade, we can really solve a lot of problems!"
After saying that, he excitedly patted Xi Mufan on the shoulder.
Guan Wenru then realized why Che Wang had taken the initiative to accept Xi Mufan.
Xi Mufan was a little flustered by his enthusiasm. "Captain, you're too kind. I'm just a student, still learning..."
"So what if they're students? They can read, understand principles, and know what pills look like. That makes them a million times better than us blind people!"
Che Wang was still very excited, "From now on, you're our precious darling! If you need anything, just ask! Zhenxing! Xiaoni! Did you hear that? From now on, Comrade Xi's affairs are our top priority!"
Che Zhenxing smiled helplessly, "Dad, don't scare Comrade Xi."
Che Xiaoni smiled generously at Xi Mufan and said, "Comrade Xi, don't be afraid. That's just my dad's temper. He treats capable people like royalty."
"If you ever need any errands run, just ask my brother!"
Lu Amei smiled and greeted them, "Alright, don't just stand there, come home! Let's talk inside. I've steamed some fine grain buns to welcome the children home!"
These days, using high-quality grains to make steamed buns is a real investment.
The driver was too embarrassed to go, so Che Wang almost had to tow the car and driver there together.
Guan Wenru smiled and told him to come along.
We won't make a difference if we have one more person.
Anyway, she'll definitely bring the food over later.
We won't let the car company suffer a loss.
Since the commander's wife had spoken, the driver had no choice but to go inside as well.
Bai Yun was initially very nervous, but after seeing the Che family's attitude, she felt relieved.
Just as my sister said, the Che family looks really nice.
Che Wang was still very excited and put his arm around Xi Mufan's shoulder.
Seeing this, Baiyun couldn't help but chuckle.
She leaned close to Guan Wenru's ear and whispered, "Sister, this car brigade leader is too enthusiastic. Comrade Xi's face is so red, he's almost as red as Guan Yu."
Guan Wenru smiled and said, "This place lacks medical care and medicine. Having a young educated youth who knows medicine is like seeing a savior. You'll get used to it."
After learning that Xi Mufan is a medical student, even more people will be enthusiastic about him.
He'll get used to it.
Upon entering the Che family's main yurt, Lü Amei warmly invited everyone to sit down, her eyes crinkling with laughter, "Please sit down quickly and eat while it's hot; you must be starving on the journey."
Guan Wenru and the others thanked her in unison, "Thank you, Auntie."
After finishing their meal, Che Xiaoni asked Baiyun, "Baiyun, would you like to stay with us or go stay with Wenru?"
"I'd like to live in the brigade's residence; it would be more convenient."
Guan Wenru and she had discussed this issue in the car earlier.
Baiyun didn't want to disturb her newlywed sister and brother-in-law at the family compound, so she decided to stay in the production brigade without thinking twice.
Guan Wenru thought to herself that she and He Yanzhi were also going to get a divorce.
Since they would have to move out of the family compound anyway, Baiyun decided not to go, and she didn't say much.
