As usual, Su Huazhu and Song Luoshu sat outside the gate of the educated youth center after dinner to rest while waiting in line to wash.
Unexpectedly, Song Luoyun, who had gone out to find friends after dinner, suddenly came back.
After seeing Su Huazhu, he excitedly gave her such explosive good news.
"real?!"
Really? !
Su Huazhu couldn't help but get excited. Before she went to the countryside, her mother told her that she would be sent to a production team nearby.
Except for the Dashan Village production team where she was, the other nearby production teams were located between these two.
She waited and hoped every day. After going to the countryside, she did not dare to complain about being tired or suffering, because she had grown up and did not want to worry about her parents anymore.
"Cousin, I just went to talk to Baihu, and then I heard what you said."
After Song Luoyun arrived here, he made friends with several people who were about his age in the production team, in order to inform them and find out whether Aunt Qiao and the others had arrived.
"Did you guys say anything else?!"
Su Huazhu was very excited, her eyes were red, and she didn't know what had happened to her parents, her elder brother and his wife, and her two nephews. She didn't know if they were beaten or scolded, or if they had enough to eat.
I don't even know if my two little nephews were scared? !
"Nothing much was said, except that a family came."
Song Luoyun didn't dare to ask more questions. After hearing the news, he only asked one question and didn't dare to say anything more.
Because our identities are sensitive, and we are afraid that asking too many questions will arouse suspicion.
"Xiao Luo, Xiao Shu, I want to find a chance to go and see if this is my home these days."
Su Huazhu was already impatient. If it wasn't for the lateness of the night, she would have wanted to run over to verify it.
"Cousin, let's get ready first. It's our turn to cook tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, we'd better set out before daybreak. It's not safe to travel at night, and we are not familiar with the terrain here. It's safer during the day."
Song Luoshu and Song Luoyun had no objection at all, and they all gave Su Huazhu suggestions. They also wanted to meet Aunt Qiao and her family, and hoped that Aunt Qiao and her family were doing well.
The Su family is good, which means we are good. The brother and sister knew very well that only when the Su family was well, they would live a better life.
Moreover, since going to the countryside, the brother and sister both felt that life here was much better than staying in Beijing.
In particular, Grandpa secretly told us that Aunt Qiao gave our family a sum of money, so many supplies, and enough food to last for a long time. My sick brothers and sisters at home have recovered, and my aunt has given them some medicine. We no longer have to worry about having no money for food and medical treatment.
This time when I went to the countryside, I received 200 yuan of resettlement allowance from the Youth League Office. Grandpa asked ๋ to take all of it, but ๋ was unwilling and finally took only 130 yuan. I took so much money, but it was all for my sister. If we don't have enough food, we can buy it. Or if you are sick or something, you still have to pay for medical treatment.
"Then we'll set out before daybreak tomorrow."
Su Huazhu couldn't wait any longer, but she didn't know whether to leave right away or make some preparations.
"I'll ask how to get to Baigou Village tomorrow and how far it is from here."
Song Luoyun's words were quite detailed, so I didn't dare to ask too much just now for fear that someone might hear something. Now that I was going to find Aunt Qiao and the others, I had to ask around.
"Okay, you pay attention."
The three of us had just finished discussing when Lian Ailian's voice appeared at the door behind them.
"Xiao Su, Xiao Luo and Xiao Shu, stop chatting. It's your turn to wash up."
Lian Ailian had some good feelings towards these three young educated youths who were honest, honest and had a good background in the production team, and was willing to take care of them.
"Sister Lian, here I come."
Su Huazhu and the other three responded, stopping the previous topic. They spoke very quietly, not worrying about being overheard.
"It's still very cold outside, what are you guys talking about?"
Lian Ailian didn't understand why the three of them liked to go outside every day to chat in the breeze. It was so cold in the educated youth center that they still had to burn the kang in the house to keep warm.
"Sister Lian, let's discuss earning work points. Xiao Luo wants to earn six centimeters, but I still want four. Xiao Shu is still young, so three centimeters is enough for her."
Su Huazhu smiled and explained why they avoided talking to her. Anyway, no matter whether she believed it or not, they believed it.
"Three centimeters a day is not enough to earn a year's food rations. At least five work points are barely enough. But Xiaoshu is really too young, and he works too hard. It's really bad for his health."
Lian Ailian knew that these three cousins โโwere very united, she had noticed it a long time ago. Among the three, Su Huazhu has the best conditions, but she takes good care of her cousin Song Luoshu.
"Yes, so we plan to take it slow. We will get used to the new environment first, and we are not in a hurry to see how capable we are."
Before going to the countryside, her mother summarized some experiences and lessons for her. Su Huazhu felt that it was better to proceed steadily and slowly. Only after she had adapted well would she know how much she could do.
No rush.
Anyway, we still have money in our hands, and we don't have to worry about not having enough food for at least the next two years.
Lian Ailian didn't expect that this young girl who just graduated from high school would say such words. Her attitude was very good, neither hurried nor slow, and she had very thoughtful ideas. She couldn't say such words without confidence.
In all the years she had been working in the countryside, this was the first time she had seen such a calm and composed female educated youth.
"Yes, we will do whatever our cousin tells us to do."
Song Luoyun and Song Luoshu, brother and sister, also said in unison behind them. They were not like other educated youth who were worried about going to the countryside, nor were they like them who disliked the countryside.
Early the next morning, Su Huazhu, Song Luoyun, and Song Luoshu got up an hour early.
The educated youth had already packed breakfast for the next morning and put it in the kitchen the night before. Su Huazhu and Song Luoshu turned on the water and fire, and then placed everyone's lunch boxes one by one on the rack in the pot to steam.
Song Luoyun fetched water from the well in the yard and put it into the water tank, and then went to chop firewood.
About half an hour later, the educated youth got up one after another. After everyone washed up, breakfast was ready.
After finishing breakfast, everyone washed their lunch boxes, packed their lunch rations, and then put them in the kitchen.
At noon, Su Huazhu and Song Luoshu left work half an hour early and hurried back to make lunch for everyone.
It got dark early in the afternoon so they didn't have to leave work early, but as soon as the whistle sounded, she and Xiaoshu rushed back to the educated youth site to cook for everyone.
After completing the task of taking turns cooking, Song Luoyun also found out the route to Baigou Village.
So, that night the three of us went to bed early. Before dawn on the next day, Su Huazhu, Song Luoshu and Song Luocheng quietly got up and set out.
