Chapter 1540 Partial Eyed Mom 16
Yuanchun slept on her stomach for two days and two nights, her neck was sore from all the sleep, and the train finally arrived in Heilongjiang Province.
After getting off the bus, Yuanchun followed the crowd to the exit.
"From the Red Flag Brigade, there are educated youth from the Red Flag Brigade coming this way..."
"The Mitsubishi Brigade is here..."
"I'm from the Red Star Brigade, I'm from the Red Star Brigade..."
There were more than a dozen ox carts parked at the entrance of the station. People next to each ox cart were shouting, and the sound was so loud that it sounded like a noisy battlefield.
Yuanchun had sharp ears and her first glance was focused on the middle-aged man shouting "Red Star Brigade". She curled the corners of her lips, picked up her luggage, and quickly squeezed over.
"Hello uncle, I am Han Yuanchun, an educated youth assigned to the Red Star Brigade."
Song Baoguo saw that it was a skinny little girl, and his face suddenly darkened. "She is so young, she can't even carry a hoe in the countryside, how can she work? Hey... Where is your luggage? Hurry up and put it on the ox cart."
Yuanchun obediently put the suitcases and bags on the ox cart. Before the other educated youth arrived, she took out an oil-paper bag from her shoulder bag and stuffed it into Song Baoguo's pocket. "Uncle, you must have waited for a long time. You must have worked hard. Here are the meat buns I bought from the imperial capital. They will fill your stomach."
Song Baoguo was too embarrassed to eat a child's meat bun, so he was about to refuse, but Yuanchun stuffed it into his pocket and said, "Uncle, I heard that the Red Star Brigade is four hours away from the train station. You must have not eaten dinner. Take it and eat it on the way. I still have a lot here."
At this time, more educated youth came, and Song Baoguo could not take out the oil paper bag again.
However, his attitude towards Yuanchun became a little more friendly.
This child, although not very big, is very capable. Never mind, at most he can just take better care of her in the future.
You can't eat other people's children's meat buns for free.
Soon, all four educated youth arrived.
Three female educated youth and one male educated youth.
Song Baoguo looked at the three delicate female educated youth and sighed. Girls like these could not lift anything with their hands, could not carry anything on their shoulders, and could not even hold a hoe. They would be a burden if they went to the countryside.
But as a village official, he did not dare to disobey the policy from above.
Song Baoguo said, "Hello, I am the captain of the Red Star Brigade, my name is Song Baoguo, I will now check the list of educated youths for today."
"Ji Honghong."
"I am."
"Fang Yan."
"arrive."
"Han Yuanchun."
"arrive."
"Ma Guoliang."
"arrive."
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go."
Song Baoguo harnessed the ox cart, sat on it, and was ready to leave.
Fang Yan screamed, "Captain, we haven't even gotten on the ox cart yet."
Song Baoguo turned around and looked at them. "The luggage on the cart is heavy enough. You should just follow the ox cart. The ox is the treasure of the team. We can't let it get tired."
Fang Yan's face turned pale. "What? We still have to walk. How far is it?"
"Four hours away."
Another scream, "Four hours, and you made us walk there. We must be exhausted to death."
"Captain, please be kind and let us use the ox cart."
"Yes, we have been on the train for two days and two nights. We are exhausted. How can we have the energy to walk?"
"Captain, please, let us use the ox cart."
Song Baoguo's face turned pale. "What are you dreaming about? This cow is the most valuable asset of our brigade. You can tire yourself out, but you can't tire it out. You can't afford to pay for it if it tires out. I tell you, you can leave or not, I'm leaving first."
Song Baoguo really didn't care about them anymore and drove away in the ox cart.
Seeing this, Yuanchun hurried to follow.
Ma Guoliang looked at Fang Yan and Ji Honghong and said, "We should hurry up and catch up. It's getting dark soon. If we are left here in the middle of the night, it will be bad if we run into bad guys."
Fang Yan and Ji Honghong did not dare to be left in this strange place. With red eyes, they trotted to catch up with the ox cart.
Song Baoguo didn't really want to abandon them, so he drove the ox cart slowly on purpose so that they could keep up. But after half an hour, they gradually became panting and could not keep up.
"Captain, I can't walk anymore. Let me sit on the ox cart for a while." Fang Yan sat down on the ground tiredly and refused to move.
At this moment, the sky was gradually getting darker, and darkness was about to come. Song Baoguo said, "If you don't want to be left behind, just hurry up and forget about riding in a bullock cart."
The ox cart didn't stop and kept moving forward.
"Wow, wait for me, I don't want to be left behind." Fang Yan cried in fear, got up and trotted to catch up.
Ji Honghong, who originally wanted to act like a spoiled child and refuse to leave, did not dare to argue when she saw Song Baoguo's tough attitude.
They endured the pain in their feet and the fatigue and followed the ox cart, walking step by step with difficulty. Even though they walked very slowly and their feet were sore, they dared not stop.
Darkness had already arrived, and the air was bustling with the chirping of insects and frogs. However, the three city kids who had never been to the countryside felt uneasy and trembling with fear, so they followed the ox cart closely.
A lantern was hung on the ox cart at some point, fluttering in the wind. It was the only bright spot in the darkness, and the bright spot they were chasing after. The darkness behind them was like a bloody mouth. They dared not fall behind, as if they did, they would be swallowed by the darkness.
The journey was supposed to take four hours, but they took eight hours. They only rested for ten minutes and ate some dry food. Song Baoguo brought a pot of water and shared it with several people.
When Song Baoguo arrived at the educated youth center, it was already two o'clock in the morning. He knocked on the door.
Knowing that new educated youth would arrive today, the leaders of the male and female teams at the educated youth site did not dare to sleep too deeply. The door opened quickly and Song Baoguo said, "You can introduce yourselves. Take down your luggage. I'm going to go back first. Tell me if you have anything to say tomorrow morning."
Then he said to the man and woman who came to open the door, "Chang Zhiqing, Hong Zhiqing, these new educated youths are now in your care. Everything should be done according to the old rules. I'm going back first."
Yuanchun and the others took down their luggage, and Song Baoguo drove away in the empty ox cart.
Chang Qingyang said, "Hello, I am the leader of the male educated youth. My name is Chang Qingyang, I am 25 years old, from Hai City, and I have been working in the countryside for five years."
"Hello, I'm the leader of the female educated youth team. My name is Hong Xiurong, I'm 23 years old, from Shanghai, and I'm from the same batch of educated youth as Chang Zhiqing."
Ma Guoliang nodded and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Ma Guoliang, I'm nineteen years old, and I'm from the imperial capital."
"My name is Fang Yan, I'm eighteen years old, graduated from high school, and I'm also from the imperial capital."
"My name is Ji Honghong, I'm seventeen years old, graduated from high school, and I'm from the imperial capital."
"My name is Han Yuanchun, I'm sixteen years old, graduated from high school, and I'm from the imperial capital."
After everyone was introduced, Hong Xiurong said to the new educated youth, "It's too late today. Chang and I have to go to work tomorrow. I'll make it short and tell you about the rules of the educated youth camp. Our educated youth camp is divided into collective dormitories and individual dormitories. Living in collective dormitories is free, and you eat and live together. The female educated youth are responsible for cooking, and the male educated youth are responsible for diving and chopping wood. They take turns every day. Living in individual dormitories requires a monthly rent of two yuan to the brigade. Individual dormitories have kangs and stoves, and you cook alone."
Chang Qingyang said, "There are only three rooms left in the personal dormitory. If any of you want to live there, I will take you there now. Just give the money to the captain tomorrow."
