234: Why are you all following me?
Yu Jiahui had a toothache:
"When did I become your girl?"
Xu Ying muttered:
"Okay, stop talking and come on, get in the car."
Xu Ying took the mahogany box handed to her by Yu Erye and got on the carriage.
There was no bench in the carriage, but a clean straw mat with a thick layer of wheat straw underneath, so it was not uncomfortable to sit on.
Yu Jiahui was also preparing to climb up.
Yu Xiaoye stood by, looking at the old man and old woman in the carriage, and asked in a daze:
"Um, you all, are you all going?"
Lao Pu looked very proud. After all, he was in charge of driving the carriage. He could kick anyone off but not the driver, so he didn't say anything.
Sai Jinhua laughed awkwardly and said:
"I just tagged along to take a look around the field office."
Xu Ying also quickly agreed:
"Yes, yes, I also want to go to the field office. I have never been to the field office before. I want to see what it is like."
Sai Jinhua immediately took Xu Ying's hand affectionately:
"Yes, I'm familiar with the site. I'll take your mother for a walk, right?"
"Hey, yes!"
The two old ladies were holding hands at this time, as affectionate as sisters, completely forgetting the life-and-death fight they had fought a few days ago.
Yu Xiaoye moved his lips, not daring to say anything, but couldn't help looking at Yu Jiahui and whispered:
"Dad, why don't you just not go?"
Yu Jiahui climbed into the car quickly, sat down firmly, and said confidently:
"My daughter is going on a long journey. As a father, how can I not send her off? Otherwise, my half-day leave will be in vain!"
Yu Jiahui had just sat down when Yu Erye stood by and asked weakly:
"Um, can I also go with you to see Xiao Ye off?"
"cannot!!!"
The four old men and women in the car shouted in unison.
Yu Erye was so scared that he staggered back a step: If you can’t do it, then you can’t do it. Why are you so fierce?
Xu Ying instructed:
"Second brother, you stay here and look after the house. Take good care of the pots, pans, and utensils. If any of them is missing, we won't be able to eat the meal. And you have to take good care of the chicken too. Be careful not to let the weasel steal it. Don't go anywhere else. Just stay at home."
"oh--"
Yu Xiaoye looked at the old men and women in the car and sighed tiredly. It was unnecessary to travel thirty miles!
It seemed as if she had gone thousands of miles away and wouldn't come back for eight or ten years.
Yu Xiaoye silently climbed onto the carriage and sat between the three elders.
As soon as she got in the car, Sai Jinhua touched Yu Xiaoye's head, touched Yu Xiaoye's two braids, and then adjusted Yu Xiaoye's new clothes. She felt that everything about him was pleasing to the eye and pleasing to her.
I can't let it go.
Lao Pu drove the carriage to the door of the front office, where Jia Song was waiting.
When Jia Song saw the car full of people, he was also shocked:
"Oh my God, why are you all following?"
Xu Ying quickly explained:
"Oh, well, Jinhua and I are going to the field office to pick up some soy sauce, so we'll stop by."
"Yes, let's go shopping."
Jia Songcai didn't believe it. He looked at the carriage of people with a mixture of laughter and tears:
"Goodness! If you didn't know, you'd think we were going on a journey of a thousand miles, with all the fuss."
Yu Xiaoye then dared to speak:
"That's right. Everyone else went there on their own, but I was the only one with so many people. They thought we were here to fight."
"It's nothing. We're all going there to give you courage and let people know that we have more people on our side, so that those ignorant people won't bully you!" Sai Jinhua said.
"Yes!" Xu Ying agreed.
Yu Xiaoye knew that he could not persuade these four old men and women, so he had to go and discuss with Jia Song:
"Brother Jia, how about you not go?"
Jia Song glared:
"That won't do. Even if no one else goes, I have to go too!"
Before he finished speaking, Jia Song had already jumped onto the front shaft of the carriage and sat side by side with Lao Pu.
Lao Pu raised his whip:
"drive!"
A group of six people set off towards the field office in a mighty procession.
Yu Xiaoye sat among the group like a rare species, listening to the various instructions given to her by her elders along the way.
Yu Jiahui instructed his daughter:
"Xiao Ye, if anyone bullies you over there, ask someone to tell me that Dad will beat him up!"
Xu Ying continued:
"If your dad is not convenient to beat, I will do it!"
Sai Jinhua said disdainfully:
"By the time you go and beat them up, it'll be too late. Girl, let me tell you, I have a few old acquaintances at the site. I'm going to tell them to look after you. If you need anything, ask them for help. They'll definitely help you for my sake."
Lao Pu in front also turned around and said:
"It's okay. Our company has trucks coming to the headquarters almost every day. At worst, I'll take over all the work going to the headquarters. I'll come once a day and keep an eye on it."
Jia Song listened to these old men and women giving bad advice one by one, and he laughed:
"We don't know whether they're going to fight or do something else—the field office isn't some dangerous place."
After a pause, he continued:
"But I also have people at the headquarters."
Yu Xiaoye:......
We talked all the way and time passed very quickly.
It seemed like we arrived at the central street of the site in the blink of an eye.
From a distance, Sai Jinhua introduced the basic situation of the field office to Xu Ying.
Yu Jiahui was also listening and looking around.
This was actually not the first time the old couple came to the site, but the last time they just stopped by.
That time, when Li Xinchun drove them to the company, they stopped here. At that time, the whole family was nervous about meeting the male protagonist.
I didn't pay attention to what the field office looked like.
I just remember that when I looked around, everything was gray and white.
It's bare and dirty everywhere, and looks very backward.
This time when I looked at it again, it was full of greenery and looked much better.
Perhaps it was because of the change in their state of mind. At that time, they had just traveled through time and had not yet fully integrated into this era and this place, so they always had a trance-like feeling of being outsiders.
After this period of time, they have completely integrated into the farm and have become part of the game, so their state of mind is certainly different.
Looking back now, the venue is still pretty good.
Compared to their remote company, it can be called a "big place".
Their company only had a row of brick houses, with only a few in total. The rest were adobe houses and scattered farmhouses.
The building at the site is much more imposing and tidy.
There are two long rows of brick houses on the north and south sides of the road, and a magnificent hall between the houses.
On the wall outside the synagogue, large characters were painted in white:
[Hard work, pioneering spirit, overall consideration, and selfless dedication]
These sixteen words are the spirit of the Great Northern Wilderness.
Extending to the north and south sides are neatly arranged earthen houses that look like dormitories.
Further out are the courtyards, warehouses, pig farms and other places of each family.
The entire site is roughly the size of a township.
In fact, the director of a branch farm is equivalent to a local township secretary, but his official title and rank are much higher than those of a township secretary.
The companies below are actually equivalent to villages.
It’s just that local villages developed naturally with time and population gathering, while the company was a small village hastily established by immigrants who came to open up wasteland and build a base.
