The next morning, at the gate of Yongchuan Commune.
A huge crowd of people was crowded outside, everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles, and the scene was bustling with activity.
When Ning Xiyue arrived in the town, she was separated from the Youth League team. Of course, she was forced to separate because there were too many people and she was squeezed out when she squeezed into the crowd.
It is no less difficult than catching the train during the modern Spring Festival travel rush.
Ning Xiyue finally squeezed to the entrance of the commune, but was dumbfounded when she arrived. She thought there were enough people outside, but she didn't expect there were even more people here. There was not a single gap for her to squeeze in to see what was going on.
Unable to squeeze in, Xiyue gave up.
He muttered to himself, "Alas, there are too many people here. I'd better not go in. I'll wait here. I'm sure I can see my second brother."
Ning Xiyue found a deserted corner diagonally opposite the entrance of the commune, took out a brick from her bag and put it on the ground, turned it into sofa mode, sat on it leisurely, and watched people coming and going in front of her.
She saw many familiar faces, all aunts and uncles in the team. Some were trying hard to squeeze in, while some smarter people didn't try hard and would be carried in by others by standing in the crowd.
Of course, this was very uncomfortable, and Ning Xiyue didn't want to squeeze in. After sitting down, she didn't want to get up. The back massage function on the brick was so comfortable.
Others just thought she was sitting on cold bricks, but in fact she was sitting on a virtual massage chair, enjoying the massage of the bricks. No one present was more relaxed than her.
If she wasn't afraid of being thought to be mentally ill, she would even want to close her eyes and enjoy it, then take out the kettle to drink some health tea.
But it was still possible to restrain one's expression, drink tea from the kettle, and eat something.
Ning Xiyue, a man of action, did what she said. She took out the water bottle slung across her body, opened it and took a sip. With her other hand, she took out a piece of chocolate that Comrade Ji had sent her and ate it. She caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye and quickly stood up and waved.
He shouted, "Second brother, here."
Ning Qingyuan had seen his sister sitting in the corner a long time ago, holding a kettle in one hand and a piece of chocolate in the other, sitting there comfortably watching the crowd. He was still wondering when he would be spotted, but she saw him the next second.
They were indeed brother and sister. As if they had telepathy, he subconsciously looked towards this corner when he left the commune, and he really saw his sister.
Ning Qingyuan walked over with a smile on his face and teased, "Sister, you've chosen a good seat. It's quite enjoyable to sit here. You've even had the chocolate. Now, should you take out the mung bean cakes next?"
Ning Xiyue took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and handed it over, while adding jokingly: "It's not impossible if Second Brother buys me some mung bean cakes."
"Okay, then let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some mung bean cakes so you can sit down and eat as much as you want." Ning Qingyuan didn't give in at all and took out the money from his pocket and shook it.
Ning Xiyue picked up the bricks on the ground, dusted them off and put them in her bag. Then she followed her second brother and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
On the way, Ning Xiyue curiously asked about the situation inside the commune. It didn't matter if she didn't go in, but her second brother had gone in and knew the situation inside very clearly, which was equivalent to her going in.
"Second brother, how is it? What's going on inside?"
"It wasn't a big deal. Everyone was filling out the registration forms. Some commune officials who couldn't write helped, so it was a bit slow. That's why it was so crowded later."
Ning Xiyue clicked her tongue and said, "I'm not asking you that. I'm asking if you've noticed how many people have signed up for your position."
"Well, I didn't pay much attention to it, but I know a piece of news inside." Ning Qingyuan looked at Ning Xiyue in suspense.
Ning Xiyue urged him as he wished: "Hurry up and tell me."
"Aside from the miners, other logistical positions should be filled by people from our team and yours. Every aspect of coal mining has a significant impact on the surrounding residents. This can be considered a benefit for both our teams."
After hearing this, Ning Xiyue knew what this meant. This meant that the main competitors were the people from their two teams, so the competition would be relatively small.
After hearing this news, Ning Xiyue didn't care anymore. There was nothing else she wanted to know. She just waited for the exam to reveal the results.
Ten days later, all the registered candidates went to the town middle school to take the exam, and the results were announced on the spot.
Ning Xiyue and all the other people from the Youth League went to the town middle school. Those who took the exam went in to take the exam, while those who didn't sign up stood at the door and waited, their main purpose was to join in the fun.
Liu Yao stood at the door, pacing back and forth anxiously, looking inside from time to time.
"Xiyue, Mengmeng, you said Sister Guifang and Ye Chu have been in there for such a long time, why haven't they come out yet? I saw many people coming out, but my cousin didn't see them either."
Ning Xiyue and Wang Mengmeng, who were called, sat comfortably under the shade of the tree. Each of them sat on a small chair with a backrest, leaning lazily, drinking tea and eating melon seeds.
The small basket hanging between the small chairs where the two people sat was already half filled with melon seed shells.
Wang Mengmeng waved at her while eating melon seeds. "Don't worry, come and sit down and rest for a while. Have a drink of water. You're not tired, but I'm tired just watching you walk around."
Liu Yao walked over and sat down. After taking a sip of water, she looked at Ning Xiyue and asked curiously, "I understand Mengmeng isn't anxious. Xiyue, aren't you anxious too? Your brother hasn't seen anyone either."
"Why rush? There's no point in being anxious. Whatever the outcome is, it will be. We'll know when the time comes. It doesn't matter whether you're selected or not. The important thing is to participate. You have to learn to stay calm."
Ning Xiyue grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in Liu Yao's hand: "Come, eat the melon seeds, or there will be none left if you don't eat them now."
Then she looked at Wang Mengmeng and said, "The melon seeds are delicious this time. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some later."
Wang Mengmeng took a melon seed in her hand and looked at it carefully: "It tastes better than before, and the size is bigger. I'll buy some more later and eat them while chatting at work in a few days."
"That's a good idea."
The two of them sat there comfortably, eating melon seeds and chatting, which made Liu Yao calm down. She followed suit and leaned back in her chair, eating melon seeds: "Forget it, I don't care anymore. You are right, I need to stay calm and eat melon seeds."
"That's right. Nothing can compare to living a comfortable life." Ning Xiyue handed the kettle to her: "Here, take your kettle. These melon seeds are delicious, but they consume too much water."
The two-person team that was playing badly thus became a three-person team. While they were sitting on chairs eating melon seeds and chatting, they waited for the person to come out.
Ning Xiyue raised an eyebrow and looked at the people walking towards the door: "Look, they came out together."
