Chapter 10 Inquiring into the Situation
As soon as he left, Li Yingying, who had been crying, stood up again, stretched her neck and said to Li Ruolan, "Where did you find this guy? Why is he so fierce? You don't know, he almost beat an old lady to tears just now."
Li Yingying applied eye drops to Deng Minghao.
Before anyone else spoke, Guo Xiaoya spoke up, looking at Li Yingying with a mocking expression: "It's someone else's seat, if they want to give it up, they can give it up, if they don't want to give it up, they won't give it up, why do you have to say anything?
You want to flirt with someone, but you get rejected and get angry. You dare not say it to their face, but after they leave, you start to talk behind their backs, saying, "You are not only ugly, but also have bad intentions."
Li Yingying didn't expect Guo Xiaoya to scold her in person, and she was completely stunned.
Li Ruolan did not expect that Guo Xiaoya seemed to be quite jealous of evil. She didn't know why she was portrayed as such a bad person in the book in the end. Maybe she was blinded by jealousy at that time.
Li Ruolan opened the lunch box she brought with her, revealing the plump dumplings inside. She picked one up with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, she looked at Li Yingying, whose eyes were wide open, and said indifferently, "Oh, what does it have to do with me? He didn't hit me."
Then he smiled gratefully at Guo Xiaoya and ignored Li Yingying.
Li Yingying's eyes turned green as she stared at the dumplings in Li Ruolan's lunch box. She had only eaten dumplings a few times since she was a child. They smelled so good!
The others also took a look and then took out the dry food they brought with them and started eating.
Liu Kunming had a meat pie, while Zheng Fanghua and Zhou Shengnan had the best dish, which was the braised pork packed from a state-owned restaurant.
As soon as they took out their lunch boxes, the fragrance spread far and wide, attracting all the attention in the carriage.
Qin Wan also took out the dumplings she had made and started eating.
Li Yingying looked at this and that, swallowing her saliva one after another. Finally, with red eyes, she took out a steamed bun and chewed it in her mouth.
Soon Deng Minghao came back and took out a box of dumplings and started eating.
After another two or three hours, Liu Kunming, Zheng Fanghua, Zhou Shengnan, and Qin Wan all went to the toilet. They used White Rabbit milk candies as a reward and asked Deng Minghao to watch their seats.
These four people seemed pretty good at the moment, so Deng Minghao agreed.
Li Ruolan sat there without moving and was fed four milk candies, which tasted milky and delicious.
Soon, Xu Tao and his friends also started going to the toilet one by one, taking turns to help people find seats. But when it was Li Yingying's turn, no one was willing to help.
But in the end, it was a male educated youth who helped Li Yingying. After Li Yingying came back, she stuck to that male educated youth. The male educated youth looked desperate and refused to help her the second time.
Li Yingying's seat was taken by an old man in his sixties. After Li Yingying came back, she looked at the male educated youth with an accusing look on her face, but the male educated youth simply ignored her.
The train officially arrived in the Northeast at ten o'clock in the morning on the third day.
After getting off the train, they heard someone shouting "educated youth" or something like that, so Deng Minghao carried their luggage and walked over with Li Ruolan.
There were quite a lot of educated youth going to Qianjin Village in Ping'an Town, about thirty of them, and the town drove two tractors over.
Qianjin Village is a large village with several brigades, so there are many educated youth assigned to it.
Looking at the tractor and then at the muddy dirt road, Li Ruolan had a look of rejection on his face. He also rode a tractor when he was a child.
I was young at that time and just thought it was fun, but everyone who has ridden it knows that the most unbearable thing about walking on this kind of dirt road is the numb and painful butt.
Deng Minghao was the first to get on the bus. He put the luggage at the front of the bus and quickly pulled Li Ruolan up to sit on the luggage.
In order to conceal their presence, their luggage was packed heavily, but it was filled with quilts and cotton clothes, so it was still very comfortable to sit on.
But even so, when they arrived at Ping'an Town, Li Ruolan still had back pain and felt like she was about to fall apart.
It's still some distance from the town to Qianjin Village, but this time they were not so lucky. There was no car, so they could only walk there.
The captain of each team was waiting here with an ox cart. Li Ruolan and his team went directly to report to the captain of the Victory Team, and then put their luggage on the ox cart.
Li Ruolan took advantage of the fact that she hadn't set off yet to quickly stretch herself, then went to the restroom with Qin Wan and Zhou Shengnan. After coming back, she drank a few sips of spiritual spring water, and then she felt relaxed and her body didn't hurt so much anymore.
Deng Minghao also took a few sips.
As for the others, it was not so good. When they heard that there were no cars to take, their faces turned green.
Especially Li Yingying, she almost cried.
There were eleven people assigned to the Victory Brigade this time, including the male and female protagonists, the supporting actress, and the couple, as well as Zhou Shengnan, Zheng Fanghua, Liu Kunming, and two others, Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun, who were sitting in other carriages.
Li Ruolan took a look at the two men and found that they were tall and strong, with straight backs. They did not look like ordinary people, but more like soldiers.
As if they had noticed Li Ruolan's gaze, the two of them looked towards Li Ruolan.
Li Ruolan smiled at them and looked away.
"Does it look good?" Deng Minghao said sourly.
Li Ruolan: “…”
"What are you doing? I just thought those two men looked like soldiers, why are you jealous?" Li Ruolan looked at Deng Minghao, who was feeling jealous, with amusement.
"Even soldiers can't look. You can only look at me." Deng Minghao waved his hand domineeringly, and when no one was paying attention, he put his arm around Li Ruolan's waist, then quickly let go.
Li Ruolan nodded: "Yes, yes, I'll do as you say."
After everyone arrived and the luggage was put away, the team leader Wang Dayou drove the ox cart forward slowly, and Li Ruolan and the other eight followed.
Deng Minghao walked beside Wang Dayou, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and took out a match to help him light it. He also smoked one himself, and then Li Ruolan rolled her eyes.
Li Ruolan doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. Although Deng Minghao smokes, he is not addicted to it, so Li Ruolan doesn't care much about him.
"Captain, we've just arrived. What's the situation of the team like? Can you tell us about it?" Deng Minghao asked.
The team leader laughed twice, took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Don't worry, our team has been rated as an advanced production team in the past two years. Every year, we can get meat at the end of the year. As long as you work hard, you won't starve."
The Northeast doesn't have much of anything but land, so one centimeter can be exchanged for a lot of food, at least more than other places.
Here, six or seven work points a day are enough to support yourself. If you get full work points, you will not only get food but also some money at the end of the year.
Deng Minghao smiled, nodded, and praised him a few words.
"What about where we live? There are eleven of us. Can we each have a room?"
The team leader shook his head and said, "There are only six rooms in the educated youth camp. At the beginning, there were only four rooms. In order to welcome you, we quickly built two more rooms, one for the men and one for the women."
