Chapter 8 Don't Want to Cry
This special train for educated youth has two destinations.
One is Heilongjiang Province where Yi Chichi is about to arrive, and the other is a farm on the border of Inner Mongolia.
The train could not go straight and had to detour to Qiqihar to drop off the educated youth heading to the farm before continuing on its way.
In the 1970s, the train speed was 60-80 kilometers per hour, and the total distance from Lincheng to Qiqihar was about 2,000 kilometers.
Oh my god, I can’t calculate it. I’ll feel desperate if I try!
It felt like her lower body would disappear if she sat down on this train.
Yi Chichi calculated the time with a bitter face. The sweet girl with round face, big eyes and dimples sitting opposite her with red eyes from crying sniffed, "Cry if you want to. It's your first time to go away from home. No one will laugh at you."
Yi Chichi: "..." I don't want to cry. It is Yi Jing and the others who should be crying now.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Youth League Office should have gone to my home to deliver the notice.
Thinking that Yi Jing also had to go to the countryside, the little man in her heart danced a happy hula dance, but her face did not show any calmness. She hummed, "Thank you for your concern."
Not a single extra word.
The sweet girl's eyes suddenly softened, "You are stronger than me. By the way, my name is Pu Yu, and I was assigned to the Construction Corps. What about you?"
The Construction Corps is a good place. There is a salary, about 20 or 30 yuan a month, which is not a low income even in the city.
Yi Chi Chi felt envious, but smiled without showing it, "My name is Yi Chi Chi, and I'm an educated youth who went to the countryside to work in a production team."
"My name is An Hao, and I was assigned to the forest farm."
Someone started a conversation, and the girls, who were immersed in the sadness of leaving home, were instantly diverted and began to talk one after another.
They were all young girls in their teens who were full of beautiful expectations for the future. Since the carriages were separated for men and women and everyone was of a good nature, everyone got along quite well.
We could help each other look after the luggage, and we didn't encounter any human traffickers or petty thefts, and we arrived in Heilongjiang Province smoothly.
Then, the food supply on the train ran out.
Just when Yi Chichi and his companions were feeling dizzy and dizzy from hunger, the train arrived in Qiqihar and they received food supplies.
A batch of bread was donated by the people of Qiqihar.
The taste is not that great, but it fills the stomach.
Yi Chichi didn't complain and ate with relish.
An Hao, who was sitting next to her, was a girl with white and neat teeth, slender and tender fingers, and well-dressed.
She is a bit spoiled, and has never suffered any hardship since childhood, but she is not a bad person.
She took a bite and then wrinkled her face and whispered, "This bread tastes terrible."
It's dry and astringent, and has a bad taste.
"Even if it doesn't taste good, you have to eat it. It's better than going hungry."
Yin Meiyun, who has a youthful hairstyle, said earnestly, "If you really can't finish it, you don't have to eat it, but you can't throw it away. It won't be a waste if you save it and do a favor at the forest farm."
An Hao said "oh", and seeing Yi Chi Chi eating with relish, she nudged her with her elbow, "Chi Chi, do you like this bread?"
dislike.
But there is nothing I can do if I don't like it. In this day and age, being able to have enough food to eat is happiness. I really can't stand being picky.
Furthermore, the education she received since childhood did not allow her to waste food.
"It's okay. I need to eat something, or I won't have enough energy when I get there."
"Why would we need to exert ourselves when we're already here? Can't we just take a car and follow the people who came to pick us up?"
Pu Yu blinked her big round eyes, looking innocent and cute.
“May have to walk.”
Yi Chichi said succinctly, "Not every brigade has a tractor. I'm new here, so I can't fall behind and leave a bad impression on others."
It will be detrimental to integrating into the larger environment.
Sing the song that suits the mountain.
Since you have moved to the countryside, you must have good vision if you want to live a comfortable life.
The girls present were all smart people. After hearing her words, they ate the bread silently.
After swallowing the last bite of bread, An Hao patted her stomach and muttered quietly, "Actually, I found it was quite delicious after eating it."
Yi Chichi and the others smiled and said nothing.
The temperature in Heilongjiang Province has dropped in late September, and it is so cold that I can't sleep at night.
Fortunately, it will arrive tomorrow morning, so I just have to wait a little longer.
The train finally arrived at its destination at around eight o'clock the next morning.
Following a series of loud calls for assembly, Yi Chichi and his companions got out of the car with their luggage.
"Chi Chi, we are about to separate. I really don't want to leave you."
The one who was speaking was Pu Yu. The girl was a real sweetie, and what was even more valuable was that she was cheerful and loved to laugh.
He is well versed in the ways of the world and has a good sense of propriety.
Yi Chichi likes her more than the somewhat spoiled An Hao.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Maybe the places we are going to are not far away."
Pu Yu sighed, "I hope so."
As a result, when they arrived at the diversion point and asked the cadres who came to pick them up, they found out that the construction corps, forestry farm and farm where Pu Yu and her colleagues were located were more than 100 kilometers away from Kaoshantun where Yi Chichi was going, and the nearest was more than 40 kilometers away.
The hope of meeting and visiting each other was completely dashed, and everyone could only exchange addresses and go their separate ways.
She carried her luggage and walked out along with the crowd.
The train station was packed with people and the sound of horns was constant.
Yi Chichi spent a long time distinguishing among the noisy voices before he heard someone shouting, "The educated youths who are going to Bao'an County, please report here!"
Five minutes later, she stood at the charge point of the Youth League Office of Bao'an County.
The person in charge of the Youth Office registered and checked the names, looked at the paperwork, and pointed to the military green Jiefang car behind, "Go wait in the car."
So, the exhausted Yi Chichi got on the Jiefang bus bound for Bao'an County.
There were more than thirty educated youth on the bus, and since everyone had not arrived yet, it could not leave for the time being.
It was too noisy and I couldn't sleep, so I could only chat and ask each other about what was going on.
Bao'an County has farms, forestry farms, and a construction corps, and most of the educated youth on the train were going to these three places.
Only Yi Chichi and a little girl named Zhou Qiuyu are from Kaoshantun.
Perhaps because they were going to the same place, Zhou Qiuyu automatically classified herself and Yi Chichi together and switched seats to sit next to her.
Seeing Yi Chichi looking at her, she smiled ingratiatingly.
This girl has an ordinary appearance, which can be called pretty, but her advantage is her pair of eyes.
Clean, with clear black and white, it looks flattering and agile like a deer in the woods.
Yi Chichi smiled at her and said, "Close your eyes and take a rest."
"good."
The child was also well-behaved. Upon hearing the sound, she picked up her small bag, leaned against Yi Chichi in the carriage, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
After a few breaths, he started snoring. His sleep quality is enviable.
Especially when the car started, the road was so bumpy that one felt like flying out, but she didn't wake up, which made people even more enviable.
The car shook for more than four hours and finally arrived in Bao'an County.
After getting off the bus and changing buses, they finally arrived at Baoan Commune at around two o'clock in the afternoon on a tractor that was even more bumpy than the Jiefang bus.
This time there was no need to change buses. Yi Chichi took Zhou Qiuyu to Kaoshantun station and met Liu Chengqi, the captain of Kaoshantun, who came to pick them up.
Seeing the two little girls standing in front of him, the captain frowned.
