Chapter 1266: Going to the Countryside 7
Feng Qingxue squinted her eyes and watched the young man running towards her. He was walking with his back to the light and she could not see him clearly.
The young man came up to her breathlessly, "Auntie, Auntie, do you still recognize me?"
Is he an acquaintance? Feng Qingxue exclaimed, and carefully identified him for a moment, "Are you Xing Yushan? Why are you here? Are you here alone? Where are your elder brother and younger brother?"
"Auntie, Auntie, you recognized me! You were dressed differently than that day. I was so sorry that I didn't recognize you at first." Xing Yushan jumped up and down with joy. "I went to the countryside to make a living, and I had to stay in the capital, otherwise I wouldn't be able to survive. Besides, he has been promoted from an apprentice and doesn't need to go to the countryside. My brother heard from people in the factory that Wanglou Brigade is the best rural area, and he registered with the old leader. He begged many people to assign me here."
The more he spoke, the happier he became. He said with great joy, "I must write to my brother and tell him about this happy event! I'm so glad I went to the countryside, otherwise how could I have seen Auntie and Xibao? Yes, where is little Xibao?"
"Xibao went out to play." Feng Qingxue answered the question and looked at him for a moment, "How old are you this year? Did you go to the countryside?"
He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, not much taller than when I saw him two years ago.
When times were tough for them brothers, they once left the capital and went to the surrounding villages to beg for food, so they knew the conditions in the villages well.

Looking at the childish and happy expression on Xing Yushan's face, Feng Qingxue said softly, "Since you said so, go and learn how to work from the old educated youth. Work harder and be more observant. Come to our house for dinner when you are free some other day."
Xing Yushan coughed and whispered, "My age on my household registration is two years older. I am sixteen this year. But I am very capable. Auntie, please don't underestimate me. I will listen to Captain Wang and work hard to have food to eat."
"Thank you, Auntie. We have food to eat." Xing Yushan was worried that he would take up the Lu family's food rations.
The Wanglou Brigade is so nice. They gave them food yesterday, including dried sweet potatoes, corn grits, wheat bran, sweet potato flour, etc., totaling 25 kilograms, enough for a month. Although they are coarse grains, they can fill their stomachs.
Feng Qingxue didn't continue talking about this topic. "Go quickly, don't delay, or else people will be unhappy."
The child, who was only fourteen years old, came all the way to the countryside alone.
"Well, Auntie, I'm going!"
After he finished his work, he went to dig wild vegetables. He saw a lot of wild vegetables. He asked the team leader and told them to dig as they pleased.
Feng Qingxue sighed softly, and turned back to remind Wang Zhengguo or Wang Dachun to carefully inquire about the ages of these educated youth and assign farm work to them according to their ages. A fourteen-year-old child should not be allowed to do adult work, as this would affect his development and pose great risks to his health.
When Xing Yushan returned to the team of educated youth, someone immediately asked him how he knew Feng Qingxue.
"When I was in the capital before, I had no food to eat. My brother and I were almost starving to death in the heavy snow. It was Xibao and his grandfather who gave us food. Later, something happened in our family and we were starving again. I met Auntie and Uncle Lu, and they helped me once. I didn't expect to meet Auntie here. It turns out that this is Xibao's hometown!"
Xing Yushan was beaming with joy as he spoke. Today was the happiest day of his life.
Next, they weeded the wheat. Xing Yushan bent over and pulled out the weeds very vigorously. He could tell the difference between wheat and weeds, but the six educated youth who came with him could not do it. After bending over for a while, they stood up and beat their waists, complaining bitterly.
