Chapter 75 Going to the Countryside
"Don't worry about things here, Xiao Zhao. I'll have to trouble you to make a few more trips over there. By the way, isn't your Xiao Zhang pregnant for several months? Is she getting enough nutrition? I have a lot of malted milk powder and other things given by others. You can take them back to nourish Xiao Zhang's body."
As he spoke, Director Li took out several cans of malted milk and a few bags of milk powder and handed them to Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi accepted it without any hesitation. This matter involved some big things, and people would feel uneasy if he didn't accept it.
"Then Director Li, I'm going to work first. If you need anything, please feel free to come to me."
Zhao Yi took his things and prepared to go downstairs.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Once everything is settled here, I'll have to trouble you to run a few times to help bring some things to the countryside. It would be too conspicuous if you carry them all at once."
Director Li smiled.
After saying that, he waved his hand.
After Zhao Yi left, Director Li walked towards the general office.
After chatting with Director Tu for a few minutes, he returned to his office.
After packing for a while, the two of them took the gifts to the home of the director of the Youth League Office.
Nowadays, sending educated youth to the countryside is a big deal, involving many families in the city. Basically, every family in the city has children who need to join the team, and it is not that they can go wherever they want. There are also special cases, such as the application letter from the commune that requires educated youth to go there.
A week passed quickly, and the educated youth from the city also rushed to the station in groups. Many parents sent their children to the station and whispered with tears in their eyes, and these young people aged 17 or 18 also waved goodbye to their parents and embarked on the journey to a foreign land alone.
There were very few educated youth going to the countryside nearby, so they didn't have to rush to the train station.
Just take a bus to the county town where you are assigned to report to the Youth League Office.
Fang Yan and Zheng Tao came to the bus station accompanied by their parents and took a bus with Zhao Yi to Shanyang County.
After the three arrived in Shanyang County, Zhao Yi took them to the county's Youth League Office to report.
After a short while, the procedures for the two were completed, and the grain supply was transferred to the Linkou Commune. The three of them did not wait for the people from the Linkou Commune to come and pick them up, but directly took a tractor to the Linkou Commune.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw Li Dequan standing at the gate of the commune with a smile on his face. He had been going to the commune every day these days just to find out when the educated youth would arrive.
The tractors that the commune used to pick up the educated youth had already arrived at the Youth League Office, but those educated youth had to take the train to the district, then take a special bus from the district to Shanyang County, and then report to the Shanyang County Youth League Office to get a certificate before they could finally wait for someone from the commune to come and pick them up.
That batch of educated youth would not be able to reach Linkou Commune until at least the evening, and would have to stay there for another night. The ox carts from various brigades would not come to pick them up until the next morning.
"Xiao Yi, these two are Comrade Fang and Comrade Zheng, right?"
Li Dequan looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
Zhao Yi nodded.
"Hello, comrades. I am Li Dequan, the captain of the Wangou Village Brigade. Welcome to our Linkou Commune to support the construction. I have been waiting for you here. Come on, I will take you in to get the certificate and transfer the food relationship to our brigade."
As he spoke, Li Dequan led the two men into the commune office. After a while, the three of them came out with new certificates. Li Dequan pulled out the ox cart and the three of them rushed to the village.
Li Dequan's ox cart did not go directly to the educated youth compound, but came to the Wangou Village Primary School.
Zhao Yi looked at the two newly built earthen-walled houses next to the primary school and a smile appeared on his face, but he didn't point it out. This must be the dormitory that Li Dequan built for the two of them by asking the strong laborers in the village to work overtime.
These two people don't have to go to work in the future, they just need to substitute for classes. Of course, everyone has to work in the fields during the double harvest season, but they have to report to university before the double harvest season. The school starts just before the double harvest season, so of course they have to work in the fields for several days in spring.
Zhao Yi helped carry the luggage into the room. The two beds in the room seemed to be newly made by the carpenter. Although they were simple wooden beds, they could still be seen to be new. In addition to the two beds, there was also a new lock on the door.
There is also a square table in the room with a kerosene lamp on it.
"The kitchen is next to it, and the school toilet is not far in front. I'm worried that you might be afraid to go to the toilet at night, so I bought a flashlight at the commune. If the flashlight runs out of battery, come to me and I'll help you buy batteries at the commune."
Li Dequan introduced the two people's future dormitory with a smile.
Apart from the iron pot and cooking ingredients, almost everything is available. The base of the kitchen is even filled with firewood. It seems that Li Dequan has really put a lot of thought into it.
After the introduction, the two did not stay long. The brigade school was right next to the brigade headquarters, and the brigade playground was at the entrance. Many people came here at this time, all to see who would live in the house that the villagers had built with overtime work. Unexpectedly, it was two newly arrived educated youth.
I don't know what's wrong with the team leader. They are just two educated youths, who can't even carry anything, but they care more about the commune leaders than they do about the leaders of the commune. They harnessed the ox cart to the commune at dawn, fearing that they would miss the chance to pick them up.
"Captain, let Li Fang and my sister-in-law come with me. You should have prepared the letter of introduction. It has been arranged for them to work as temporary workers in Xiaojing's garment factory. Once they get the recommendation letter from the university, they will be regular employees."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"I'm ready. I've been ready for a long time."
As they were talking, the two of them walked to Li Dequan's house. At this time, Li Fang looked at Zhao Yi and smiled embarrassedly. She had already packed her bags and was ready to leave at any time.
"Xiaoyi, take these to Zhang Jing to nourish her body. Since it's just me and Lao Li at home, we won't be able to eat much."
Wu Lan picked up a basket of eggs and asked Zhao Yi to take it away.
"Then I won't be polite, Captain, Director Wu, we will go and report first. I will come back to inform you after they are settled. You will also need to take good care of this place."
Zhao Yi said.
When Zhao Yi said taking care of two people, you know who he was taking care of. If you take good care of their children, they will take good care of your children.
"Don't worry, I'll ask them to come over for dinner today. Let them eat at home during this period. When they learn how to cook, I'll lend them the extra iron pot to cook."
Wu Lan said with a smile.
Li Dequan drove a ox cart to send the three people to Shanyang County, and then followed Zhao Yi to the district. After thinking about it, he bought a ticket and followed him to the district.
Two hours passed quickly.
Director Tu and Director Li were still at the station waiting for the good news that Zhao Yi would bring back.
"These two must be the new comrades. We have been waiting here for a long time. Go and report to the dormitory first. We have already arranged for you."
Tu Jiao saw Zhao Yi leading two female comrades out of the station at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Li Dequan was right behind him, and he felt much more at ease when he heard this.
"This is Comrade Li Dequan, the team leader of our Wangou Village. This time the team needs to purchase some things, so we came to the district temporarily to purchase."
Zhao Yi hurriedly introduced again.
