Seeing that Fu Weidong had almost finished eating, Fan Xiaofan used a handkerchief she always carried to wipe his mouth.
She found it somewhat amusing, thinking that she couldn't really be considered a "sent-down youth"; by today's standards, she was a low-level worker who had transitioned from rural to urban status.
"No, my brother and I came to the provincial capital for some business, and now that we're done, we're going back to Qingcheng."
People were quite enthusiastic at this point. With the pretentious Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yi siblings gone, everyone got along fairly well.
The train slowly arrived in Qingcheng early the next morning. Fan Xiaofan remarked that the speed was comparable to that of a snail. The jeep had traveled for most of the day, while the train had taken more than a day.
Having been confined to a cramped space for so long without being able to move around, it was fortunate that it was a sleeper berth, allowing her to stretch out a bit. Otherwise, Fan Xiaofan felt that she would probably be too exhausted to move when she got off the train.
She led Fu Weidong away from the train station, unaware that in another carriage, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yi, a brother and sister, also got off the train. The two looked exhausted and didn't want to talk, and they were disgusted by the smell on them.
"What's wrong with Dad? Why did he suddenly want us to go to the countryside?"
Jiang Yi felt that she was living a good life in the city, so why did she want to come to the countryside? When she heard that some of her classmates had gone to the countryside, her father comforted her, saying that he would help her use his connections to stay in the city.
Jiang Cheng didn't even want to speak anymore. He had been sitting stiffly for so long, and he had never felt so uncomfortable before.
At this point, he had no mind to comfort his sister. He forced himself to cheer up and said, "I wonder if the people who are supposed to pick us up have arrived yet?"
Jiang Yi is no longer the stylish woman she once was. After Fan Xiaofan splashed water on her head, her makeup was ruined.
After spending so much time in the crowded carriage, and with her hair all greasy, she didn't have any other thoughts. All she wanted was to take a shower; she couldn't stand looking like this.
Jiang Cheng scratched his head in frustration and said, "But if we leave now, the people who are supposed to pick us up won't be able to reach us, and we don't know how to get to that place..."
Jiang Cheng suppressed his temper and comforted his sister: "We'll prepare water for you when we get there."
"I don't care, I don't care, I need to take a shower now... I can't stand it for even a second longer, and is it even possible to take a shower in that village?"
Jiang Cheng had no choice but to take the letter of introduction to a nearby guesthouse.
Grandpa Niu was sent by the village chief to pick up the educated youth who had come over. His arm was sore from holding up the sign, but as soon as everyone had left and it got dark, no one came over.
He was a little confused. Weren't the two newly arrived educated youth supposed to be on today's train?
As it was getting late, he had no choice but to go to the commune. The commune staff confirmed, "Is it today's train?"
Grandpa Niu was also a little worried and asked, "I hope nothing bad has happened. I've been waiting there all day and no one has come."
In fact, most of the educated youth who were assigned here were arranged by the commune to stay in the guesthouse, and then the villages would come to pick them up. But this time there were only two new educated youths, so Xiangyang Brigade could just pick them up and take them away. Who knew that something would go wrong.
For a moment, the people of the commune and Grandpa Niu were a little panicked. The person was fine, but they couldn't find him. What should they do?
I called the provincial capital and learned that the two of them had indeed taken the train here.
The train wasn't delayed or had any problems, so how did the person just disappear?
They immediately began a chaotic search for people.
