Lu Mian was probably used to being lectured by her family, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with what her family was doing. Instead, she happily packed her bags and went to the countryside.
Then, Lu Qingyan came over.
"Everyone, wake up! We're almost at Lushui Village. After we get off the bus, we'll have to take the commune's bus. Go to the toilet now, wash your faces, and wake up so that we don't look too tired when we meet the commune's reception staff."
A woman with two braids reached out and patted the people around her, waking them up from their daze.
They say it's almost here, but in reality, we still have to wait a while.
About half an hour later, the train slowly pulled into the station. Because it was a small station along the way, the train only stopped for ten minutes, and the twenty-odd young men and women with Lu Qingyan hurriedly pulled their bags off the luggage racks.
Lu Qingyan was sitting on the inside seat when a tall man with a square face and a crew cut reached out and pulled off a green canvas bag, tossing it to her.
"Comrade Lu, hurry up and catch up. The train's stop time is too short. We need to squeeze off quickly." This person was Zhao Guoan, a junior high school classmate of the original owner. They hadn't had much contact before, and only knew each other as this person.
Now that the seats on the train are next to each other, and they both came from the same junior high school, Zhao Guoan thought that since he was a man, he would take extra care of the original owner.
Their destination this time was Heilongjiang Province, the northernmost part of China, and the time... Lu Qingyan shivered as she got off the car. It was winter, and it was really cold here.
Looking up, I saw a person holding a large sign next to the platform, which read: "Welcome to the Red Flag Commune, educated youth!"
Lu Qingyan knew that those were the people who had come to pick them up.
There were quite a few people who came. Basically, there were two people guarding each car, and the person in charge was holding a crumpled piece of paper and reading out names, which was how they assigned people.
There were quite a few people who came this time, but even if it was just one place or one commune, it would be divided into several production teams.
With twenty or thirty people assigned, basically only three or four people could go to a production team.
Lu Qingyan was lucky; she wasn't grouped with the woman who had argued with her before. Instead, she was with Zhao Anguo, Liu Yi, and a young man with glasses whose name she didn't know.
The carriage that came to pick them up was actually just two horses pulling the front, with a flatbed cart in the back that was usually used to haul grain and goods, and to transport rice during the busy farming season. The only difference was that there were wooden handles nailed to the sides, about the height of an adult man's palm, so that people could hold on and not fall off. It was probably a rare opportunity to enter the city, as it was almost completely filled with things.
The two people sitting on the front of the carriage were the driver and Captain Guo from Green Water Village.
Captain Guo, with his yellow teeth, smiled at the group of educated youth and said, "Welcome to our Green Water Village! The young people who came this time are really energetic."
The group didn't seem to mind, and after exchanging a few words with him, they got into the car.
"It's going to snow. It'll be dark and the roads will be difficult to travel. Kids, hold on tight!" The driver, wearing a sheepskin coat, called out as he turned around and cracked his whip.
Everyone was taken aback, and no one had the mood for idle chatter anymore.
Before arriving here, many people may have had fantasies about development and construction, but once they actually get here, most of them feel fear and uncertainty.
Of course, some people are filled with ambition for that land and yearn to make a name for themselves here.
