How is Li?
When they left, she forgot to tell Li Hao that she didn't know the way.
So what to do now?
Zhou Yian thought for a while and looked at his watch. It was only ten o'clock.
She decided to cut grass for the pigs for a while longer, just in case Li Hao came back. If he didn't come back before 11 o'clock, she would find a way out by herself.
I'm going back a little late today, and I wonder if Song Songbai will be worried.
Zhou Yian was thinking about this and that.
"Zhou Zhiqing, are you okay? Let's go down together." Li Hao also suddenly appeared with a backpack on his back.
"Where have you been?" Zhou Yian breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm cutting grass for the pigs over there," Li Hao replied. She had just come over to take a look and saw Zhou Yian was still cutting grass, so she took a basket away and then came back. "Zhou Zhiqing, you don't have to wait for me next time."
Zhou Yian felt embarrassed and said, "I don't know the way."
"Well," Li Hao became happy instead, feeling that he was still somewhat useful. "Then I'll show you the way this afternoon. Just call me when the time comes."
"Okay, thank you then." Zhou Yian also comforted herself that no one is perfect. If she walked this road a few more times, she might get to know it. Isn't it normal not to know the road the first time?
"I'm quite familiar with this mountain. I'll know where the wild fruits are in the autumn," Li Hao said, gradually becoming more familiar with the place. "Then I'll take you to pick them."
Zhou Yian was surprised, "That's great, I didn't find any fruits last autumn." Of course, it was also because they went up the mountain too late.
Fortunately, Li Hao came back to take a look.
Zhou Yian went to the pigpen first, put down a basket of pig feed, and earned one work point.
It was a little late when we got back, and Song Songbai was already cooking.
So virtuous and self-aware.
He lived up to her evaluation of him as a good husband and father.
Zhou Yian couldn't help but go forward and hug him from behind. He satisfied most of her imaginations of home.
——
Cutting grass for pigs peacefully.
That day, they were suddenly notified that the educated youth were about to arrive. As the representative to welcome the educated youth, Ge Qiuze politely asked her and Song Songbai if they would go to pick them up.
Although he really wanted to go, seeing Song Songbai's expression, Zhou Yian gritted his teeth and said no, "This ox cart can't accommodate everyone, so you should just take it over."
Ge Qiuze went alone with the old man driving the ox cart.
Ge Qiuze was waiting at the door of the bus station. He didn't know who would be getting off this time. He hoped that there would be no troublemakers.
A bunch of people came out.
"Gejiazhuang, the educated youth from Gejiazhuang gather here." Ge Qiuze shouted.
A group of young boys and girls in Zhongshan suits came over.
Ge Qiuze could only see one person.
She was wearing a beige sari skirt, with long braids hanging down to her waist. She had a gentle smile, and even the sunlight shining on her made her look shy.
Ge Qiuze went up to them and asked, "Are you the educated youth sent to Gejiazhuang to work in the countryside?"
Xu Luyao nodded, "Yes, we all are. My name is Xu Luyao."
"Hello, Comrade Xu. I'm the one sent by Gejiazhuang to pick you up. My name is Ge Qiuze." Ge Qiuze was excited but his expression remained calm.
Hu Yue was unhappy. She took Xu Luyao's hand and said, "Comrade Ge, why didn't you say hello to us? You just said hello to Comrade Xu."
Ge Qiuze took out the list and checked it. "Liu Yang, Zhang Guoan, Xu Donghui, Qian Tu, these men are all here, right?"
Everyone who reported their names nodded and called out, and Hu Yue secretly resented it.
"Lesbians, besides Comrade Xu Luyao," Ge Qiuze felt that even the name was so quiet and artistic, "there is also Hu Yue, who cares."
Ge Qiuze looked around and said, "Since we're already here, let's put the luggage in the car. We can only walk back."
Their ox carts were not very big and there was a lot of luggage, so people couldn't get on, and they didn't want to tire the oxen.
Hu Yue frowned, but she also knew that going to the countryside was not a life of luxury. "Luyao, can you bear it?"
Xu Luyao was also a little hesitant, "I don't know, let's try it first."
Hu Yue didn't force it. "Then you must tell me if you are tired. I think Comrade Ge is very kind to you. Maybe he is willing to let you get on the ox cart."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Luyao glanced at Xu Donghui and shook her head.
Hu Yue also glanced at Xu Donghui, her heart in turmoil, but she gave Xu Luyao a meaningful smile, "I know, I know, I won't say anything more."
Ge Qiuze watched the whole scene and had some thoughts in his mind. He thought that there would be more troubles at the educated youth point.
It took a long time to walk along the way, and Xu Luyao gradually felt tired and walked slower and slower. She never expected that the first thing and the first setback when going to the countryside would be walking.
"Luyao, are you tired?" Hu Yue turned to Ge Qiuze and said, "Luyao is tired, can you take a rest?"
"Comrade Xu, are you tired?" Ge Qiuze also asked, and everyone turned around to look at the two girls.
Xu Luyao didn't know what to say.
Xu Donghui also said, "Since Comrade Xu is tired, let's take a rest first."
Zhang Guoan refused to agree. "We are following the great Chairman's instructions to develop the countryside. How can we complain about such a small road? How can we develop the countryside then?"
Along the way, he had long been fed up with this spoiled city girl. She insisted on drinking hot water and her lunch box was always filled with braised pork rice. Now she even had to shout when she walked a few steps. She was truly a capitalist lady.
As a revolutionary, he couldn't stand it at all!
"Since Comrade Xu didn't say he was tired, let's go." Ge Qiuze also said.
Hu Yue also smiled and said, "We should carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue. Then Luyao, you should persevere for a while."
Ge Qiuze sighed, she is still a delicate and ignorant young lady.
"There are two comrades in front of your educated youth compound who have volunteered to go to the countryside," Ge Qiuze explained to them. "These two comrades have already forged a revolutionary friendship under the witness of the Chairman and us. If you have any questions, you can go to the village head or ask them first."
"Then we have two seniors." Hu Yue followed.
"The educated youth compound was built with their resettlement funds. Since there are no extra houses in the village, we'll arrange for you to live there."
"Don't we have resettlement fees?" This time it was Xu Luyao who asked.
"They haven't been sent to the village yet. There are a lot of educated youth from all over the place this time," Ge Qiuze replied seriously. "So you need to get along well with them. They have a place to live and a kitchen. But since they're married, they won't cook with you. How to arrange it then is up to you."
"These two days are for you to settle in. You will start work the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Yian stood at the gate of the educated youth compound and saw a group of people coming back, some black and some white.
As she expected, Xu Luyao was there!
