Lu Chuan jumped down from the driver's seat. His hands were almost frozen. Even with the fur gloves on, he felt that his hands could not bend.
Lu Yong wiped the frost off his face with concern, poured a glass of water from the kettle and handed it to his brother.
Lu Chuan drank a large glass of water and finally felt better. The flesh on his thighs and calves was burning with pain.
They are all frozen, ah!!! I have suffered so much.
Zhou Guoliang lifted his hat, lay on the snow, and reached out to pry open the hole.
Lu Chuan hurried over and patted him on the shoulder: "Let me see what's going on!"
Everyone was extremely anxious and silently made way for them.
Lu Chuan took out a small shovel from the toolbox in front of him and dug it hard a few times.
He heaved a sigh of relief and said to everyone, "It's nothing, there's just a pit, and someone threw some rocks in front of it.
I'll start the car later, and you guys push hard from behind."
"become!"
"Comrade Lu, please go to the front and start the car."
Everyone put the packages in their hands on the truck and stood at the back of the truck bed, ready to go.
Lu Yong was speechless when he saw this scene. These educated youth had no common sense at all. Even after so many years in the countryside, they were still not as good as them in terms of work.
He quickly said to Zhou Guoliang: "Zhou Zhiqing, a few of you push from this side, and four of you push from the back.
Be careful to stay away from the tire, otherwise you will get yourself into trouble."
"Oh, okay!"
The female educated youth also rubbed their hands and pushed hard.
It was hard to push the tractor across the big pit, and everyone was exhausted and out of breath.
Niu Liye’s station was closest to the tires.
My body was splashed with mud and snow, and even my face was cold.
He sighed helplessly, grabbed a handful of snow and wiped it on his body, which was considered a simple cleanup.
The moment they got on the bus, all the educated youth were thankful: "Fortunately we left today. Look at how heavy the snow is. If we went tomorrow and encountered this kind of situation, we wouldn't even have a place to stay."
"Who said it wasn't? The road was smooth when we came here yesterday, but today a big pothole suddenly appeared. Isn't this harmful?"
"That's right. We have so many people. If one person was driving a tractor and got stuck here, what would we do?"
Lu Yong listened to everyone's words, his eyes flickering.
When his brother went back, wasn’t he alone?
What if something happens at that time, what will happen to their family?
Lu Yong turned his head to look at Qiao Qianqian who was standing beside him. Qiao Qianqian had obviously thought of this as well, so she reached out and held Lu Yong’s arm: “The mountains are blocked by heavy snow now, and there’s nothing to do in the village, so let’s not go back.
Stay in the county town for a few days, and our family will pay for it."
Lu Yong sniffed and clenched his wife's hand: "Okay!"
When we arrived at the state-owned hotel, there was a lot of noise at the entrance.
Everyone then realized that quite a few people had already come to stay with small packages on their backs.
"The people at the door are probably the educated youth from another brigade. They are trying to figure out how to live there more cost-effectively!"
One female educated youth said: "Four of us sleep in one room, so each person doesn't spend much money."
"I think it's more appropriate for two people to share a room. After all, we still have to review tomorrow. If there are too many people, our mood will be disturbed."
"Two people in one room, we stay for five days, it will cost dozens of dollars, who can afford it?"
Zhou Guoliang and Niu Liye looked at each other. Behind them, there were still scattered people rushing towards the state-owned hotel.
If it's any later, there might not even be any rooms left.
The two looked at the people behind them and whispered, "Let's not worry about anything else and just run inside when we get to the gate.
To save money, let's share a room with four people. If we go too late, the room will be sold out. "
There were some educated youth behind them who wanted to ask something, but when they saw their serious expressions, they shut their mouths silently and followed the two men closely.
Zhou Guoliang pretended nothing had happened and walked towards the gate of the state-owned hotel. As soon as he passed the group of people, he ran into the state-owned hotel with big strides.
The educated youth behind him also threw the packages in their hands to the ground and rushed out quickly.
Lu Chuan stood there pitifully, packing packages for everyone.
When the educated youth from another brigade saw this scene, they were shocked and looked surprised.
I was thinking that these people might be crazy. They were already at the door of the state-owned hotel, why were you running there?
Is there anyone who can’t snatch it from you…?
Someone is robbing...Oh my god! The educated youth from that brigade let out a howl and ran towards the state-owned hotel.
The people who were walking slowly towards this side in the wind and snow not far away, when they saw this scene, they tensed up, took big strides, and ran over.
Zhou Guoliang put everyone's letters of introduction and identity documents into his bag, and as soon as he walked to the front desk, he put the bag on the table.
"Hello, book a room."
The receptionist at the state-owned hotel was clearing away the clutter on the table and sorting out the keys.
Zhou Guoliang was afraid that something might go wrong, so he took out two pieces of dried meat from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the receptionist.
"Comrade, it took us more than two hours to get here. We are so cold. Could you please open a few rooms for us as soon as possible?"
