"Oh, this road is really long. It's such a pain to go out to buy anything!" Qian Lailai complained.

"The commune's tractor comes once every two weeks. If you don't want to leave, you can ride it. As for the ox cart, it can't hold so many people. It can only pull things at most. If you want to go out at other times, you still have to walk," Zhao Youtian shouted.

When these educated youth first arrived, they complained that the road was difficult to walk on. But after a while, they had no choice but to slowly learn how to navigate.

"Captain, are there any villagers in our village who have bicycles?" Zheng Xiaolong asked.

Zhao Youtian smiled, "You've asked the right person. In our village, only my family and the village chief have bicycles. But they are our treasures. We won't lend them out unless it's urgent."

Section 8

Zheng Xiaolong had to give up the idea and decided to find a way to buy one, otherwise it would be really inconvenient to travel.

He went to the countryside without telling his family. He had some money, but not enough tickets, and he didn't even have a bicycle ticket.

Li Mengxue put a sanitary napkin in her shoes, so she could walk more comfortably. It was such a long distance, so it was okay to walk it occasionally, but it was uncomfortable to think about walking it often, not to mention the time wasted on the road.

She did have a few folding bicycles in her supermarket space, but she couldn't use them openly.

At most, you can use it when no one is around.

I still have to get a bicycle of this era.

Yi Qingqing was also thinking about this problem. The luggage her mother had prepared for her would soon be sent to her, and it would be a problem as to how she would get it back to the county.

Moreover, I didn’t see any sign-in site in the wild along the way, and the sign-in site in the village is probably not as good as those in the more prosperous counties.

[Found the check-in point at Huangtu Road, Xiangshui Village. Do you want to use 1 check-in point to check in? ]

Just when I thought of this, I saw a sign-in area in the middle of the loess road. What can be signed at the sign-in area on the loess road?

[Sign in at Huangtu Road in Xiangshui Village and get a bicycle ticket]

"!"

What a great thing! I was just worrying about the inconvenience of going out, and now I can get a bicycle ticket by signing in!

She glanced at the system panel.

[Sign-in location at Huangtu Road, Xiangshui Village (resetting)]

It’s not even a one-time thing!

This bicycle ticket has nothing to do with the loess road. Yi Qingqing suddenly realized that her previous understanding was a bit one-sided. There might be some connection between the check-in location and the check-in items, but it was not certain. It would be better to give it a try to avoid missing out on good things.

With this bicycle ticket, she can buy a bicycle next time she goes to the county.

Suddenly I felt that this road was not so difficult to walk on.

Yun Guyuan had been keeping part of his attention on Yi Qingqing, and noticed that she suddenly walked with a bounce, as if she wanted to jump up, and seemed to be in a good mood. He also admired her perseverance, as she was not as delicate as her appearance.

When she saw the rising smoke from the kitchen in the distance, Yi Qingqing's joy at getting the bicycle ticket had almost faded, and her entire attention was on her feet. Although her feet were not rubbed raw, they were very sore.

Sweat mixed with dust stuck to their faces. The clean-cut educated youth now looked a bit dusty after the ravages of this road.

Even the heroine is no exception

Only one person was different.

Yi Qingqing turned her head and looked at the figure whose steps seemed to have been measured. After walking for more than two hours, there was no change.

Before, I thought he looked bookish and thin, and I was afraid that he might not have good physical strength. But after walking more than ten miles, even the second male lead who, according to the book, had eight-pack abs, was obviously tired, but he didn't even sweat a drop, didn't utter a word the whole time, his back was still straight, and his steps were still sharp.

"This is simply inhuman!" Yi Qingqing muttered.

Yun Guyuan looked over.

Yi Qingqing immediately closed her mouth and smiled awkwardly.

Yun Guyuan: You’re laughing so foolishly.

"Okay, we're here. That's the youth cadre site. It used to be the village meeting hall, and it's a brick house," Zhao Youtian said, pointing to a house that was obviously taller than the others.

The house was built on a small earthen slope, with the village primary school behind it.

Although it only has one floor, it is more than one meter higher than ordinary houses and looks quite spacious.

The book says that this meeting hall was built during the criticism and denunciation campaign against landlords, and that it was built using the finest blue bricks taken down from the landlords' homes.

Although it is big, it has few windows and poor lighting. The house is pitch dark even in broad daylight.

Later, when the situation was not so serious, this place became too gloomy and was abandoned. Later, as more and more educated youth went to the countryside and there were not enough accommodation, this place was converted into an educated youth center.

In fact, the interior of the hall was divided into several small spaces using earthen bricks, and some earthen kangs were built.

The only advantage is that it is cool in summer.

Moreover, the space is large enough and divided into many small rooms, so basically everyone can have their own little room.

When Yi Qingqing and her friends arrived at the entrance of the educated youth center, there were quite a few educated youth eating there.

"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhao, come here!" Zhao Youtian shouted.

A boy with a square face and a girl who looked a few years older than them stood up.

"They are new educated youth. You two should take them to settle down," Zhao Youtian said to the two people, then turned around and said to them, "You just arrived and don't have work points. We will still follow the previous practice and lend you some first and return it later. But your batch came early and there is still a long time before the autumn harvest. You still have to find a way to get some food for yourselves. You can use your work points to exchange with fellow villagers, or go to the county to buy it. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be enough. I will send you the food I lent you later."

Several people nodded. Their legs were weak and they could not stand any longer. For a moment, they did not have the energy to think about whether there was enough food.

The Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhao mentioned by Zhao Youtian are Zhou Qiang and Zhao Fang in full. They are the most senior educated youth here. Zhou Qiang has been in the countryside for almost five years, and Zhao Fang has been there for three years.

Yi Qingqing followed them into the house, while Zhao Fang introduced the situation of the educated youth site to them.

"Over the years, some of the educated youth have used connections to return to the city, and some have married villagers or married village girls and moved out of the educated youth center. Now there are a total of eight educated youth living here, five men and three women. The locked houses are occupied by people, and you can choose any of the others.

The lighting in this house is not good, so we took off the tiles on the roof of the alley in the middle. The kang is also in the alley. As for cooking, some of us cook with others, while others cook on their own. We built the stove ourselves. You have just arrived and are still borrowing food. I guess the old educated youth will not be willing to share the room with you, so you have to find a way by yourself. When you go to the countryside, everything depends on yourself. Go and choose a house for yourself!"

Zhou Qiang and Zhao Fang led them through the hall and into the alley they mentioned, then let them choose a place to live.
