Chapter 5 Youth Educated Point
"Why do we have to carry our luggage there by ourselves? It's so heavy!" The voice was delicate.
As Chen Zhu walked forward, he saw a girl wearing a red dress with floral patterns and small leather shoes, pouting and talking to the man holding the sign.
"Your island is so poor, you don't even have a car? It's so far from here to the boat, how can I possibly carry it? I'm an educated youth, you can't do this to me!"
The man holding the sign became annoyed by the noise.
"The mules on the island are seasick. Can't you just mail your stuff? Why do you have to carry it yourself? If you have any complaints, go talk to your boss!"
"You..." The girl was so angry that she stomped her feet and walked reluctantly into the group of educated youth.
Chen Zhu stepped forward.
"Hello, my name is Chen Zhuyi, I'm here to report."
Chen Zhuyi did not make herself look ugly. She just stood there and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh, okay. I'll look for your name... I found it. Go line up. We'll leave when everyone is here." The man's voice subconsciously slowed down.
Chen Zhu turned around and walked into the team. The girl in the red dress stared at her appearance with jealousy in her eyes. After looking her up and down at her clothes, her expression improved a little. Then she turned her head away with disdain and stood alone proudly.
Chen Zhuyi stood in the group of educated youth and observed the people around him.
There were three women and five men in total. In addition to her and the girl in the red dress, there was another girl standing in the corner with her head down.
The heights and builds of the gay men varied greatly, and Chen Zhu roughly took note of them all.
After waiting for a while, a man and a woman came, and everyone was there. The person holding the sign led a group of people to the ferry to board the boat and go to the island.
The other side.
Huo Jinzhi and Shen Zhuyi said goodbye and sat in the car.
"Brother Huo! Shen Zhiqing is so handsome. I have never seen anyone so handsome."
Huo Jinzhi did not respond, but he agreed in his heart that Chen Zhuyi was indeed the woman with the most delicate features he had ever seen.
Ma Yang had long been accustomed to Huo Jinzhi, known as the "Ice Officer", being silent, and he continued to admire Chen Zhuyi's beauty.
"When I first saw her, I thought she was a fairy from heaven! Whoever marries Shen Zhiqing in the future will probably wake up laughing in the middle of the night. However, Shen Zhiqing is so beautiful, the man who can match her is at least someone like you, Brother Huo..."
Ma Yang stopped talking abruptly, and tried to make excuses in a panic.
"Brother Huo, I..."
"It's okay, I'm not that sensitive. We still have a long way to go, I'll get some sleep."
After Huo Jinzhi finished speaking, he turned his head and leaned back against the chair, closing his eyes. In a place where no one was paying attention, his brows and features were shrouded in a bit of gloom.
It takes three hours to get from Tongshi to Moon Island.
The waves were bumpy, and Chen Zhuyi almost vomited out all the bile in his stomach before he arrived.
There are mules when you get off the boat, but they can't hold people, only luggage.
Chen Zhuyi only had a small bag, and her luggage was at the express delivery point, so she would need to pick it up later.
When we arrived at the educated youth site, a middle-aged man was already waiting there.
"I'm the secretary of this island. You can just call me Uncle Chen. I'll be responsible for allocating your work from now on. Since you've just arrived and don't have any food, here are 100 kilograms of coarse grains. Each of you will receive 10 kilograms. This is a loan from the brigade. You can pay it back with work points later."
There was a large sack on the ground, filled with coarse grains.
After saying that, Uncle Chen pointed to the dilapidated thatched hut at the back and said, "This is where you will live in the future. There are two rooms, and you can divide them among yourselves. Today is your first day here, so you don't have to work. Pack up your things and go to bed early. Someone will call you to work tomorrow."
After saying this, Uncle Chen left.
After they left, the ten educated youth walked into the thatched hut.
The two rooms were the same size, with several beds placed inside. They must have been cleaned and repaired before they came. There was no obvious dust on the floor, and some holes had been patched up, so it looked quite tidy.
Most of the educated youth were not dissatisfied, as this was much better than they had expected.
The man and woman automatically separated and went into the room to start cleaning. Chen Zhuyi chose the bed on the inner side, picked up the rag and prepared to clean up before going to get the package.
A sharp voice rang out.
"What kind of place is this? It's so shabby and dirty! And how can I eat coarse grains? I only eat fine grains at home. And this bed is so hard, I'm sure I'll get bruises."
It was the girl in the red dress. Everyone on the boat had already introduced themselves to each other by her name: Huang Cuicui, from Beijing.
I knew he was a troublemaker even at the train station, and he didn't stop talking on the boat, always complaining about this and that.
Chen Zhuyi ignored her and continued to wipe the bed.
The girl named Liu Zhaodi, who had been keeping her head down and not saying anything, did not respond either. Instead, the short-haired girl Ye Xumei spoke last.
"Why did you go to the countryside if you're so capable? Wouldn't it be better for you to continue enjoying yourself at home? I've been displeased with you since we were on the road. We're all here to help build our country at the grassroots level, so we're all prepared to endure hardships. And why didn't you complain when the secretary was here just now? Now you're unhappy again."
Huang Cuicui's face turned pale and blue in an instant, but she had nothing to refute. She could only glare at the short-haired girl fiercely, then slowly picked up the rag with her orchid fingers, her brows furrowed so much that she could pinch a fly to death.
"Can anyone help me clean up my bed?" Huang Cuicui wiped it a few times, curled her lips and threw the rag away: "If you can clean up my bed, I can give you eight... fifty cents!"
Chen Zhuyi had already tidied up the bed. She stood up and prepared to go out to find Commander Lu and then go to the express delivery point to pick up something.
Just as she turned around and took two steps, a figure quickly passed her and walked in front of Huang Cuicui.
It’s Liu Zhaodi.
"I can take care of it for you!" After saying that, she glanced at Chen Zhuyi nervously, as if she was afraid that she would steal her business.
As soon as Chen Zhu realized what she meant, he laughed in his heart and walked outside without stopping. He could still hear Huang Cuicui's voice from a distance.
"Clean this up!"
After asking along the way, Chen Zhuyi found Commander Lu's home.
Commander Lu was her father's former comrade-in-arms and also the person Wang Youwei mentioned he knew. He took out cakes and big red dates from the space in advance and raised his hand to knock on the door.
“Here I come!”
A little person ran out, stood in the yard and looked at Chen Zhuyi, his round face like a bun full of confusion.
"I don't know you. You're not from the island. Who are you?"
Looking at the little girl who called him grandma, Chen Zhuyi smiled.
"Hello, I'm a new educated youth, my name is Chen Zhuyi, and I want to see Commander Lu."
At this time, another aunt came out of the room. Upon hearing what Chen Zhuyi said, she quickly opened the door and said, "You are the girl that Youli mentioned! Come in! I am your Aunt Lu. Your Uncle Lu is in the room. He thought it was another villager coming to talk about trivial matters and didn't dare to come out."
Chen Zhu understood and handed the basket to Aunt Lu.
"Aunt Lu, please accept these. Uncle Wang asked me to bring them to you."
Aunt Lu originally planned to refuse, but after hearing that it was prepared by Wang Youli, she accepted it.
Following Aunt Lu into the house, Chen Zhuyi stood outside Commander Lu's study. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly heard a name.
"There's no rush for Huo Jinzhi's matter. Didn't the doctor say it's not absolutely impossible? There's still hope! Don't push the child too hard!"
