Chapter 11 is here, and the only way to keep warm is to shiver!
After regional discrimination, Mingdai was unilaterally kicked out of the group chat.
She leaned against the window in a daze, staring blankly at the scenery passing by outside the window.
The other three were chatting animatedly.
Mingdai listened to it for a few seconds and found it very funny.
Fang Rou wanted to get rid of Qi Zhijun, her childhood sweetheart, without losing a bootlicker.
In his words, on the one hand, he brought up Qi Zhijun's identity as a child of a military and political family to attract Liu Yan's attention, and on the other hand, he hinted that Qi Zhijun and he were childhood sweethearts and good brother and sister.
The main idea is that I won't marry you, but you have to continue to lick my idea.
But it really is an old lady climbing Mount Tai, it’s so high!
After talking for a while, the three of them were exhausted. Qi Zhijun took the initiative to offer to get some hot water for the two of them. Seeing Mingdai in a daze, he thought it would be a shame to forget her, so he asked, "Comrade Mingdai, do you need me to bring some hot water?"
Ming Dai came back to her senses and shook her head woodenly: "I'm not thirsty, I didn't say so much."
Qi Zhijun's face froze, he nodded awkwardly and left.
What does this mean? Do you think he talks too much?
At first, I thought she was young and good-looking, so I wanted to take care of her, but I didn't expect her to be so unkind!
Well, not every girl is as cute as Xiaorou!
Thinking that he had run away without permission today, his family should have known by now that he had gone to the countryside with Xiaorou, and he didn't know why his mother was making a fuss at home.
He really didn't understand why his parents, who always followed the policies closely, were so opposed to him going to the countryside.
A weak girl like Xiaorou applied to go to the countryside on her own initiative, so why can't he, a tall and strong man, do the same?
After all, in their hearts, they were not as promising as their eldest and second brothers. When they made a career in the country, they would know who was the best son among them.
Because Mingdai looked very dull and her words were not pleasant to the ears, they did not speak to her for the next five days and four nights.
Two more educated youth got on the bus in the middle, but their destination was different from theirs, so they got off halfway.
In the end, it was the four of them who arrived at the railway station in Songshi County, Heilongjiang Province.
Five days and four nights of hard sitting completely extinguished everyone's enthusiasm for supporting the mission to go to the countryside.
Fang Rou looked at the desolate scene outside, but she was very excited, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Brother Cheng! Here I come!
The car stopped now and everyone was in a much better mood. They stood up and moved around, took out their luggage from the shelves, and walked out with their bags, big and small.
Mingdai was not in a hurry. She planned to wait until there were fewer people before getting off the bus. Fang Rou had the same idea and sat there without moving.
Qi Zhijun had been following Fang Rou, and he didn't stand up either.
Liu Yan diligently helped Qi Zhijun and Fang Rou take down the boxes, and she was exhausted after taking her own.
Fang Rou then stood up, said thank you lightly, and walked out.
The next moment, Qi Xiaogou caught up with two boxes, not paying any attention to the big sack of Liu Yan behind him.
Liu Yan gritted her teeth and quickly followed, carrying her large sack.
Mingdai then slowly stepped onto the iron rack under the seat, dragged down her big bag, and carried it out.
As soon as we got off the train, the wind from Heilongjiang Province gave us a wake-up call.
Mingdai couldn't help shaking as she carried the bag on her back. Fortunately, she was wearing thick clothes, otherwise she would have been frozen like the others.
A group of quails were waiting at the train station, with someone shouting nearby and people from various communes reading out their names.
Mingdai listened carefully for a while and found the people from the Red Flag Commune.
When I went over, Fang Rou and the other two were already there, talking to the people from the commune.
The people who came from Hongqi Commune this time were the deputy director and a tractor operator, and the tractor they were going to take back was parked behind them.
The deputy director was wearing an officer's uniform, his voice distorted from the cold, as he read out the names of the educated youth from the list.
Soon Mingdai heard her name and came forward carrying the package.
Then she saw the obvious disgust in the eyes of the deputy director and the tractor operator.
Yes, she now looks like a young girl who has not grown up. She is obviously not cut out for work. The country folk jokingly call such people "people who come here to eat idle meals" and naturally despise her.
She didn't care and remained silent, hiding behind the tractor operator to avoid the wind, but she didn't miss the hint of sarcasm in the eyes of the original heroine.
Haha, you are noble, don’t tremble!
Finally, all 23 educated youths from Hongqi Commune were counted and loaded onto the tractor. They had to hurry back before daybreak.
Mingdai quickly got into the car and hid in the corner behind the driver's seat. She stuffed the package under her butt, pulled out a thick blanket, wrapped herself tightly, curled up into a ball, and did not move.
She moved quickly, and the people who came up behind her were busy looking for seats and did not notice her movements.
Like her, Fang Rou was also prepared.
She didn't need to fight for a seat, as Qi Xiaogou had already secured one for her and warmly invited her to come up.
The other people whose seats were occupied had some opinions, but seeing how the two were dressed, they didn't dare to say anything.
Fang Rou went over and instructed Qi Xiaogou to help her take out a hoodie from the box and put it on neatly.
People just watched and thought she was too coquettish.
Soon, they no longer thought so.
The tractor was not driving fast, but the wind was strong!
The deputy director who was wearing an officer's uniform just now also put on a thick cotton jacket.
The remaining people in the car began to think of ways to deal with the situation. They spread out their own quilts and put them on themselves, which made them feel a little warmer.
Those who don’t have a quilt, or whose quilt is on the way, like Liu Yan, can only rely on shaking themselves to keep warm.
She looked at Qi Zhijun pitifully, hoping that he would take off his military coat and give it to her.
Unfortunately, Qi Xiaogou was only thinking about Fang Rou and didn't even look at her.
Finally, she had no choice but to empty the contents of the sack and put it on her body, which made her feel a little more comfortable.
Finally, they reached the commune before dark.
It was too late today, so the commune let them stay in the guesthouse for one night. Tomorrow morning, the brigades will come to pick them up.
Regardless of the fact that these people were frozen like dogs and their legs were numb and they couldn't stand up, the tractor driver rushed them off the vehicle like ducks.
He has to return the car before he can go home, he can't be late.
The others were fine, but Liu Yan had a pile of her things, the sack was still on her body, and her hands and feet were numb from the cold, so her movements were slow.
The tractor driver kept swearing and urging her, which made Liu Yan's eyes red. In the end, she had to rely on the help of several people who got off the tractor later to load the things back.
Qi Zhijun had already followed Fang Rou out of the car without even looking at her.
Mingdai got off the bus early and stood obediently with the crowd.
For someone like Liu Yan, if you help her, she will feel that you look down on her.
Sure enough, she got off the car with red eyes and her head down, without even a word of thanks to the two female educated youth who helped her.
The deputy director was also shivering with cold. He took them to the guesthouse, gave them some hasty assignments, and left trembling, leaving the quails in a mess.
The fat lady in the guesthouse was still handing out keys impatiently, telling them to hurry into the room and not block the door.
Fortunately, no other leaders came to stay at the guesthouse at this time, so they were able to get a bed each.
There are two teams of men and women, and they line up to get the keys in order, four people in a room.
Mingdai was in the front of the line and soon moved into the first room with the other three female educated youth.
Because there were so many people, the hot water could not be distributed, so each room was given only one thermos.
Mingdai lived in a room with three other educated youth who came from different places. They distributed the water equally among themselves, with each person getting some hot water to warm their stomachs and some left over for washing.
Fang Rou was not so harmonious. She and Liu Yan were assigned to the same room, while the other two people lived in the same place. They had a conflict over the distribution of hot water.
Fang Rou sat on the bed without saying a word. It was all up to Liu Yan to fight against two people alone. She successfully took down half a bottle of hot water, which made the two people opposite her very angry.
Liu Yan was useless in getting water and gave it all to Fang Rou.
So Fang Rou became the only person who washed her feet tonight.
Of course not Ming Dai.
Not only did she wash her feet, she also soaked them for 10 minutes. If she didn't want people to suspect she had hemorrhoids, she would have wanted to take a bath before coming out.
It’s so damn cold!
