When Xiang Liguo heard Tan Dingguo call his name, he grumbled in dissatisfaction, then went forward, threw his bundle onto the oxcart, and scrambled onto it.
Cao Dajiang and the consultant were behind, letting the two girls get on the car first, and then they climbed up.
Chen Daohui was at the bottom of the pack. When he got on the bus, the consultant reached out to pull him up.
He didn't even look at it; after getting on the bus, he sat silently in the corner.
The consultant didn't say much and simply withdrew his hand.
Miao Qing snorted indignantly, after all, Chen Daohui's ignoring of her earlier was really embarrassing.
Once Tan Dingguo saw that all six educated youths had boarded the cart, he cracked his whip, and the oxcart slowly began to move forward.
Miao Qing saw Tan Dingguo's oxcart in front of it and greeted him softly, "Comrade, hello, my name is Miao Qing, I'm from J City."
How far is Xishan Village from here?
Tan Dingguo tilted his head and glanced at her. She was a fair-skinned young girl who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. She had two braids hanging on either side of her ears.
"I am the village chief of Xishan Village. My surname is Tan. You can call me Village Chief Tan or Uncle Tan."
This is the county seat. It takes about eight or nine hours to walk to Xishan Village.
"The oxcart is a little faster, don't worry, it'll definitely get to the village before sunset."
Miao Qing's eyes widened when she heard that it would take so long.
We just had lunch, it's a little past 12. If we get to the village before sunset, we'll have to sit on this oxcart for at least several hours. How can my butt take it?
The consultant didn't find it too far, which is better than other villages.
"Uncle Tan, we've come here to learn, so you'll have to teach us properly."
Hearing the consultant's polite words, Tan Dingguo waved his hand repeatedly.
"All I know is farming, I don't know anything else."
We just heard that you've come to help with construction in our village, and we're very happy to welcome you!
Then, we'll all learn from each other, hahaha…
Hearing that Tan Dingguo was easy to talk to, Cao Dajiang and Xiang Liguo perked up and asked him about the situation in Xishan Village.
Only Chen Daohui and Jin Ling remained on opposite sides, neither of them uttering a sound.
Chen Daohui didn't want to talk at all, while Jin Ling was too timid to speak.
However, after talking for a long time, Tan Dingguo had managed to extract a lot of information about them, but they had only heard some superficial details.
Even without Tan Dingguo explaining, one could easily discern this information simply by observing it in the village.
Later on, their buttocks felt numb, and they lost all interest in asking questions.
Tan Dingguo had already gotten most of the information about these city kids, and seeing that they weren't asking any more questions, he was happy that he didn't have to deal with it anymore.
Just as Tan Dingguo had predicted, they arrived at Xishan Village just before sunset.
After receiving a notice that some educated youth were going to the countryside, Tan Dingguo asked Fu Hongxing and then called the village officials to a meeting.
The plan is to arrange for them to stay at the old village head's house. The old village head lived alone when he was alive, and after his death, the village held a funeral for him, so naturally the house became the property of the village.
It would be perfect to tidy it up a bit now and make it a place for those educated youth to live.
The oxcart went directly to the old man's house. The house had been cleaned, but there were no bedding or anything else; the educated youth had to provide it themselves.
