Chapter 19: On the way to the countryside (I)
The next morning, before Lu Xiaoxiao woke up, she heard someone knocking on the door. She hurriedly put on her clothes, put the quilt into the space, and took out the original owner's quilt. When she arrived at the door, she heard Aunt Zhang's voice asking her to open the door.
When Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door, she saw Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang coming in with a bag. Seeing that she had just gotten up, they asked her to wash her face first.
Aunt Zhang took out two buns and an egg from the bag, put them on the table, and went to help Lu Xiaoxiao pack her quilt.
Lu Xiaoxiao had basically packed everything yesterday except for the quilt. After washing her face, she came back and started to eat the breakfast brought by her aunt. After she finished breakfast, Aunt Zhang had also packed the quilt. During this time, Zhang De turned off the stove and went to check other places to see if there were any problems.
After seeing that everything was ready, Lu Xiaoxiao handed the keys to Zhang De and asked them to help look after the house while she was in the countryside.
Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhang De went to the post office together to mail some things, but left behind a box with wheels and a backpack the size of a schoolbag.
In fact, there is nothing in the box and the backpack. They are just used to cover up the truth. The reason why she took these two things is that she can use the box to take out some things in the future, because others don’t know what is in your box.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the train station, she saw the person in charge of this group of educated youth going to the countryside. It happened to be the older sister she had signed up with that time. When she saw her coming, she smiled and greeted her.
After a while, Aunt Zhang and the older sister started chatting together. While chatting, Aunt Zhang did not forget to ask the other party to take care of her on the way.
While everyone was chatting, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the people who were going to the countryside. There were five women and nine men, a total of fifteen people including her.
Some of them were wearing brand new military uniforms, some were wearing plaid skirts, and some were wearing patched clothes. It was really a sharp contrast! When the group of people saw her looking at them, they also began to look at her, whispering to each other, with different expressions.
Not long after, the train arrived. Lu Xiaoxiao followed the team to get on the train. Aunt Zhang handed her a bag and said it was food she had prepared for her on the road. She told her not to go hungry and to be careful on the road.
Zhang De said that when you see your Uncle Wang, don't be polite. Tell him directly if you need anything. Your father took good care of him back then. After he is settled, send a telegram back to let him know you are safe.
Lu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and told them that she would definitely do it.
When she got on the train, Lu Xiaoxiao found her seat under the guidance of the person in charge. She put her suitcase away and sat down to rest.
After a while, people came to her side and opposite her. They were two women and one man, all from the same group of people who went to the countryside. She could see that the three of them knew each other, and sure enough, they started chatting soon after they sat down.
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly heard the girl in the plaid skirt opposite her ask her name. Although Lu Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to her, she still answered: "Lu Xiaoxiao."
When the other party saw that she answered, he asked her in a familiar manner why she was going to the countryside at such a young age. He just saw your uncle and aunt coming to see you off. Did your parents not want you anymore and made you go to the countryside without even coming to see you off?
The woman sitting next to the girl in the plaid skirt said after hearing what she said: "Of course it is, otherwise which parents would let such a young child go to the countryside."
Lu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she almost laughed when she heard the two of them singing the same tune. Could it be that these two people had problems with their brains?
Before she could fight back, the leader came over and said, "What are you two talking about? Xiaoxiao's parents are heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect the country's scientific research achievements. They are martyrs. At a young age, she devoted herself to the construction of the motherland under the influence of her parents. She has a high level of awareness. You should all learn from her."
When the two women heard the eldest sister say this, their faces turned red and they dared not say a word.
Only the man said, "Don't worry, sister. We will definitely learn from Comrade Lu Xiaoxiao and contribute to the construction of China."
When the eldest sister heard what he said, she nodded in satisfaction and left.
When the two girls saw the eldest sister leaving, one of them muttered in a low voice, "What's the big deal? If she goes to the countryside, she might even be a burden to others."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard her say that, she completely ignored her. She closed her eyes and planned to take a rest for a while. She got up too early today.
