"Master, is this bus going to Chaoyang County? The Chaoyang County in Yihe Town?" Zhao Heping wanted to confirm again, fearing that he might get on the wrong bus.
The master grabbed Zhao Heping's arm and said, "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and get on board. The train will leave soon."
Wang Shuning struggled to lift his two large bags into the car. He looked up and saw that the car was already full of people, and quite a few were already standing in the middle aisle.
Most of them are young people, probably coming to the countryside.
After finally putting his things away, Wang Shuning reached out and grabbed the back of a seat.
After the five people got in, four more people came in a few minutes later. Together with the luggage, there was no room left in the car.
The driver closed the door and was about to drive away when two more people ran over.
Someone in the car immediately shouted: "Master, there is no more room, please move quickly."
But the driver opened the door anyway.
Wang Shuning felt like he was in a sandwich and would fall if he loosened his grip.
After the bus left the train station, the old lady sitting in the front selling tickets and collecting money immediately opened the small black bag on her waist and started collecting money one by one.
Originally, the charges were based on the station and distance, but this bus was going to Chaoyang County, so the charges were collected very quickly.
D City Railway Station is the starting station, and Chaoyang County Bus Station is the terminal. It costs 20 cents for one person to ride from start to finish, and it takes one and a half hours.
The car was too crowded, and even with all the windows open, there was no air circulation.
In addition, the road was bad and the bus was shaking and swaying from side to side. Wang Shuning felt more and more uncomfortable with the discomfort in her chest, but she could only endure it. The buses in the 1970s were not equipped with garbage bags for motion sickness like those in the 21st century.
There was only a stained trash can in the corner.
But she can bear it, but others can't.
Two girls sitting on the seats quickly asked someone to bring a trash can over and kept spitting into it. The unpleasant smell filled the carriage.
"Ugh." Wang Shuning began to vomit slightly, but didn't vomit yet.
As more and more people wanted to vomit, the ticket seller immediately asked the driver to pull over to the side of the road.
The moment the car door opened, Wang Shuning immediately pushed away the person standing in front of him and rushed down.
He bent down, squatted at the edge of the grass and began to vomit.
I vomited out all the breakfast and water I had in the morning, along with the acid.
The smell in the car was so strong that many people got off.
Lu Beichu and Zhao Heping stood not far away and watched.
Guo Jingyi and Zhang Meili were patting Wang Shuning's back constantly.
The bus was much more shaky than the train, but Zhao Heping and Guo Jingyi didn't get carsick. I don't know if they were used to vomiting on the train.
After a while, the driver saw that many people stood up and stopped vomiting, so he shouted, "Time is running out, everyone get on the bus."
Because he looked exhausted, a boy gave up his seat to Wang Shuning for the first time.
An hour and a half later, the bus stopped in front of Chaoyang County Bus Station.
After getting off the bus, you can see a whole row of ox carts with signs of various towns on them.
When the five people found the ox cart with the Yihe Town sign, there were only two people on it.
The old man said that there was a car in front that was full and had already left.
After counting the number of people, the coachman took the list and checked the names. He only left after making sure that all the educated youth were going to Yihe Town.
Zhang Meili sat beside the rear wheel and asked the old man, "Grandpa, how long will it take us to get to Yihe Town?"
The old man answered loudly: "One hour."
Wang Shuning covered his eyes. He clearly didn’t walk, but he felt more tired than after walking for a whole day.
Fortunately, I didn’t feel dizzy when riding in the ox cart, and I could also see the surrounding scenery.
There are fields of crops beside the dirt road, and you can see people bending over and working in them.
As he watched, Wang Shuning's eyes began to swell, and he hugged his knees with his hands and buried his head in them.
"Wang Shuning, wake up, we're here."
She opened her eyes drowsily, and it seemed as if she had really fallen asleep just now.
After getting off the ox cart, I found that there were many educated youth standing here, waiting for people from the village committee to come and pick them up.
"You five are all going to Dafeng Village. Captain Niu is there. Just go straight there." The old man driving the car pointed the direction to Wang Shuning and the others.
When the five men dragged their luggage over, Captain Niu was squatting on the side of the road in a daze.
He stood up only when he saw someone coming.
He Daniu stared at the three women and two men standing in front of him, and mourned in his heart, "Bring out all the proofs."
Wang Shuning took out the certificate issued by the street office from her bag and handed it to him.
After reading it, He Daniu waved his hand and said, "Everyone get in the car. We will go back soon. There are still a lot of things waiting for us in the village."
It takes forty minutes to get from Yihe Town to Dafeng Village by ox cart.
When they left, the ox carts from other village committees had not yet arrived to pick them up, so the educated youth were waiting in the large square of Yihe Town Government.
Although Wang Shuning felt strange, he did not ask any further questions.
Instead, Zhao Heping said happily, "Captain Niu, our village has the best conditions in the town, otherwise how could we leave first?"
He Daniu turned his head to look at him, then turned back and continued driving, "Our village is considered average. This afternoon, He Zhaofeng fell headfirst onto a large rock on the ridge of a field when he was leaving work, and his head was cut open. I hurriedly dragged him to the town's health center for treatment, so I arrived earlier than others. Otherwise, I would have to wait until the end of the work day to pick you up."
The smile on Zhao Heping's face faded, "So that's how it is."
The ox cart was shaking violently. If the road from Yihe Town to Chaoyang County could be considered a road, then the road from Yihe Town to Dafeng Village could not be considered a road at all.
There is a big pit on the left and a big pit on the right. There is no flat place at first glance.
The surrounding conditions are even poorer, and even the houses are much smaller and more dilapidated.
After staggering all the way, they finally entered the village. He Daniu asked them to take the luggage down, and he drove the cows aside, tied them up with ropes, and let them eat grass.
"This is the educated youth center in our village. You wait here for a moment, I will go call the village chief." He Daniu waved his hands and walked towards the field.
Not long after, the village chief arrived.
Village chief He Haiming glanced at Wang Shuning, Zhang Meili and Guo Jingyi, and looked at Lu Beichu with the most satisfaction. After all, he was tall and strong, and you could tell at a glance that he was strong and able to work.
The village chief said, "It's like this. The beds in the village's educated youth center are full, so there's no room for the five of you. But don't worry. Before you came, several leaders of the village committee discussed it and decided to let you stay in the villagers' homes."
Wang Shuning looked at the educated youth settlement behind him. The house was quite small and he wondered how many educated youth had gone to work in Dafeng Village.
"Come on, I'll take you to see the house first." The village chief led the way, and the five people walked slowly.
