Yuanliangmaochuan constitute the landform of the Loess Plateau.

After Niu Erdan's tractor had been driving on the loess road for about ten minutes, the terrain became uneven.

Sometimes the slope is too steep and the horsepower is insufficient to climb up, so two male comrades have to go down and help push it.

The further they went, the closer they got to the ravines they had seen when they first left the county town, and the depressed the educated youth felt.

It seems that traveling will be a bit inconvenient in the future.

There were two bicycles in Qin Hanshu's space, one belonged to Hu Dayong and the other to Yang Aizheng.

We can find an opportunity to use Yang Aizheng’s women’s bicycle.

It would be better to just sell Hu Dayong's bike, since it just takes up space anyway.

Another half an hour passed, and a river appeared in sight.

The plain between two mountains is called "Chuan", and the river flows through the "Chuan".

Niu Erdan turned around, pointed at the bend in the river, and shouted, "That's Haowan Village, our village."

Haowan Village is now called Haowan Village Brigade. It is built on a river, close to the water source, with a large plain area and many paddy fields. It is the village with the best geographical location in the entire commune and is also known as the "Rice Village".

After hearing what Niu Erdan said, the educated youth all turned their heads to look over.

The plains in the river valley are lush and green, and their reflection in the river makes the calm water surface look like a piece of emerald green.

There are large tracts of farmland on the east bank of the river. The millet is heading at this season, and it is a vibrant yellow-green color.

Beyond the farmlands are villages where humans live.

Hundreds of households are scattered among the ridges leading away from the plains, scattered and densely packed. From a distance, one can only see yellow mud walls.

Suddenly, a moving, winding white line appeared in everyone's sight. When they looked closely, they realized it was a group of sheep.

The whole picture suddenly became more vivid and lively.

A beautiful scene comparable to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River appeared on the Loess Plateau, which lifted the spirits of the educated youth.

It's even more exciting to think that that's where they will live in the future.

Ma Chaoyang climbed onto Lin Zhiheng's shoulders and stood up, shouting in high spirits: "There is a vast world with a lot to do! Haowan Village, here I come——"

As soon as he finished shouting, the tractor bumped violently, and he almost fell on Lin Zhiheng. Lin Zhiheng pushed him away in disgust, causing others to laugh.

The village seemed not far away from them, but it actually took them nearly an hour to get there.

The man named Gao Ming seemed to be dizzy from the tractor. As soon as he got off the tractor, he lay on the side of the road and vomited with a pale face.

Zhang Kangmei glanced at him sideways and said disdainfully: "With your physical fitness, how are you going to do farm work in the future? Don't hold us back as educated youth."

Jin Bo explained: "He is an active worker in school. He is always eager to do any work, and he does it quickly and well. However, he suffers from transportation sickness and has vomited several times on the train."

Zhang Kangmei made a "tsk" sound, rolled his eyes and walked away.

This unfriendly look made Zhao Ru very worried and said to Qin Hanshu: "She doesn't look easy to get along with at all. Don't be assigned to the same dormitory with her."

Qin Hanshu said casually: "It doesn't matter if she gets the share, just ignore her."

Zhao Ru nodded worriedly and sighed, "It would be nice if I could live with you."

Qin Hanshu didn't say anything. She wanted to live alone no matter what.

But they were overthinking it, there were no dormitories to be divided at all.

They are the third batch of educated youth in Haowan Village. The first batch of five people came here two years ago, also from the capital. The second batch of two people, from Yizhou, came here only last year.

The first group of five people were arranged to live in a fellow villager's home until today.

The conflicts between the educated youth living in their fellow villagers' homes and the original residents had long been fully exposed, and no one was willing to let the educated youth live in their home anymore.

Therefore, the team vacated two of the three cave dwellings in the team headquarters to accommodate the second group of educated youth.

The team leaders have not yet given a solution to the accommodation problem of Qin Hanshu and his group.

Originally, they were going to go to Niuwang Village on the plateau. However, Niuwang Village agreed at first, but at the end they cried because a large area of ​​crops in their village had dried up this year and the harvest was about to fail, so they could not accept the educated youth.

The commune then temporarily assigned Qin Hanshu and seven others to Haowan Village.

At this time, the brigade's party secretary and accountant were still in the cave discussing how to accommodate them.

Several educated youth were waiting in the courtyard under the scorching sun.

Zhang Kangmei seemed to have no patience. After turning around twice anxiously, he put his hands on his hips and shouted towards the cave office:

"We should have arranged the accommodation before we came here! Why did they suddenly adopt Buddhism? Moreover, we have been discussing it for so long and there is still no result! How can such an inefficient leadership team lead everyone in agricultural production?!"

The others exchanged glances, admiring Zhang Kangmei's fearlessness.

In the future, whether they want to visit relatives, go back to the city, or even go to the county town, they have to apply to the team. It is no exaggeration to say that their fate is controlled by the team.

It's so hot, don't you have any complaints in your heart? It's just that no one says it out loud.

Sure enough, Zhang Kangmei's loud "criticism" made the branch secretary and the accountant come out soon.

The Party Secretary of Haowan Village is called Zhou Chang'an, who is about fifty years old, very tall, and looks quite handsome and gentle. He is said to be the most educated person among his peers in the village - he attended a private school for three years.

The accountant’s surname is Niu, and he is Niu Erdan’s older brother. He looks very young, probably only thirty years old at most.

The secretary's attire was nothing special. He wore a white coat with a double-breasted collar, the same loose wide-crotch trousers that everyone in the village wore, and thick-soled cloth shoes.

The accountant was dressed much more decently, in a white shirt and black pants, with two pens in his shirt pocket, a pair of black-framed glasses on his nose, and a serious face.

He looks quite like the school's principal.

As soon as Accountant Niu came out, he cast his eyes precisely on Zhang Kangmei and said with a serious face, "Were you the one who just spoke?"

Zhang Kangmei puffed out his chest and said bravely, "It's me!"

Accountant Niu opened his mouth to lecture him, but was stopped by the branch secretary.

Secretary Zhou was very kind and said, "It's because we didn't do our job well. Please forgive us. So, tonight, you can spend some time with the two educated youths in the team. Tomorrow I will gather all the educated youths for a meeting."

After saying that, Party Secretary Zhou asked Accountant Niu to go to the field and call back the two educated youths who were living in the team headquarters.

Half an hour later, the two educated youth came back, a boy and a girl.

Adding up the number of people, there are only four lesbians here, so it's no problem for them to stay together for the night.

There were five men on the other side, and they were all big, so they definitely couldn't fit on one kang. Fortunately, the weather was hot, so they could sleep on the floor.

This female comrade from Yizhou is called Zhang Yao. She has a round face and fair skin. She is not very tall and has a very straightforward personality.

She opened the door quickly and welcomed Qin Hanshu and others into the cave.

As soon as you enter, a cool breeze hits you in the face, making you feel refreshed both physically and mentally.

Qin Hanshu got goose bumps on his arms due to the sudden cold air.

She rubbed her arms and sighed, "I heard that cave dwellings are warm in winter and cool in summer, but I didn't expect it to be so cold."

Zhang Yao smiled and said, "Yeah, I have to cover myself with a blanket even when I take a nap during the day."

While talking, Zhang Yao was also helping others carry their luggage.

The small cave was suddenly so crowded that there was almost no room to step.

Zhao Ru muttered, "The team won't let the four of us live together in the future, will they?"

Zhang Yao also looked worried. She was very comfortable living alone in a cave, but she didn't want to squeeze with others.

Qin Hanshu was not too worried.

The branch secretary had arranged the accommodation issue by himself, but today he called Accountant Niu to discuss it.

What does an accountant do? They manage the accounts, and building a dormitory requires money.

The team must be planning to build a new kiln to use as dormitories for them.

This is a good opportunity to take advantage of, so I can spend my own money to build a cave dwelling.
