Grandpa Niu nodded. This kid may be a bit off-key, but he's not a bad person.
Several educated youths arrived, looking somewhat awkward and apologetic, and apologized to Grandpa Niu: "We've kept you waiting..."
Grandpa Niu waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. As long as you get there safely."
However, judging from this group of educated youth, apart from Ai Mingyuan, they were probably all children from ordinary families. At first glance, their clothes were similar to those of the people in their village, and their personalities were also evident. They were clearly a little scared but tried hard not to let themselves be disliked.
These people briefly introduced themselves to Grandpa Niu, who then asked everyone to put their luggage on the oxcart. The oxcart was almost full in no time, and then it couldn't accommodate so many people...
Grandpa Niu told them to discuss it themselves.
Others have eaten a lot of salt, so they won't become bad people.
In the end, the boys were still embarrassed, but they didn't know how far it was, so they discussed with the two female educated youths that they would sit and if they couldn't walk anymore, they could take over.
The oxcart swayed and wobbled forward, followed by a shy young man who had been sent to the countryside. He mustered his courage and asked the old man about the village.
As he drove the oxcart, Grandpa Niu said, “Once you enter our village, you’ll be living in a paradise. You all need to work hard and not try anything funny. At least you won’t go hungry.”
In those days, it was common for people to go hungry all over the country. When the educated youth heard this, they immediately felt a surge of energy.
A place where you can get enough to eat is a good place.
The journey was fine at first, but just when I was about to give up and consider abandoning my pride to switch places with the female educated youth on the oxcart, Old Man Niu finally spoke up: "We've arrived..."
It was almost dusk.
When they arrived at the village entrance, Fan Yunyan was riding his bicycle home. He greeted Grandpa Niu warmly, "Grandpa, are you going to pick someone up?"
Grandpa Niu responded and called to Fan Yunyan, "Go find the village chief, I'll take them to the educated youth settlement."
"Eh..."
Fan Yunyan readily agreed, and riding his bicycle—a birthday gift from Fan Xiaofan—he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A young woman on the oxcart couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness! Isn't that a multi-speed bicycle? Grandpa, people in your village ride these? That's amazing..."
The others' eyes lit up as well.
Immediately, the trust level with Grandpa Niu increased even further, as he told Grandpa Niu to be good and not go hungry.
Grandpa Niu proudly raised his chin: "That's nothing. Our village even has tractors, that's impressive..."
Fan Yunyan rode his bicycle to the village chief's house and called out at the door, "Village chief, the new educated youth has arrived. Uncle Niu has taken him to the educated youth settlement."
The village chief, who was carrying a bowl of rice, responded and said, "Alright, I won't eat anymore. I'll go check out the situation first... You can take me there..."
"Then let's go... I'll go with you in a bit, but I want to let my wife know first, so she won't worry and get impatient waiting for me..."
Fan Yunyan muttered.
Village chief Li Dafu's lips twitched: "Oh my, it's really rare to see someone so indulgent with their wife... A man needs to stand up for himself... How can a woman be indulged? Look at our village, who's like you, I heard you stay home all day cooking and doing housework..."
Fan Yunyan chuckled: "Village Chief, if you keep saying that, I'll tell Grandma Village Chief..."
