"Uncle, hello, I'm Zhu Qinghao, and this is Si Tian. I'm sorry, the wind was too strong just now, and we were a bit far away, so I didn't hear your voice."
The captain of the Hongguang Brigade was initially getting impatient with the search, but now that two young girls had appeared, and they were all smiling, he couldn't bring himself to get angry anymore.
"It's okay, they'll get on the bus when they arrive. We still need two more, we'll go back once they get here."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
Zhu Qinghao felt that the Hongguang Brigade seemed to be in pretty good condition, after all, they were picked up by tractor.
After Zhu Qinghao got into the car, she quickly slipped the man a pack of the most ordinary cigarettes.
"It's freezing cold outside, thank you so much for picking us up, Uncle. May I ask your name?"
He who takes a bribe is bound to do his bidding; he who eats another's food is obligated to do his bidding.
After accepting the cigarette, the man's expression improved considerably, and his tone softened.
“My name is Wang Fulin, and I am the captain of the Hongguang Brigade. The one driving the tractor is my eldest son, Wang Weiguo. He went out to find two other educated youths.”
We're alright, farmers, we're used to it. It's just that you kids suffer, coming through this freezing weather.
Si Tian nodded secretly, agreeing with what the captain said.
However, she was still aware of the situation and didn't casually chime in to complain about things that weren't her business. She just listened quietly.
"We're fine, thank you for your concern, Captain. We had just gotten off the bus and you came to pick us up in time, so we weren't too cold."
Wang Fulin was very satisfied with Zhu Qinghao's words, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's nothing. As educated youth sent to the countryside for assistance, this is what our brigade cadres should do. Once you're here, make yourself at home. There's no need to be so polite."
Zhu Qing smiled and agreed, then began to inquire about the team's basic situation.
"Captain, how far is our team from here?"
Wang Fulin was in a good mood and was happy to answer some of their basic questions, so that they wouldn't be clueless when they arrived at the team.
"It's not far. It only takes about 30 or 40 minutes by tractor. So our brigade is considered relatively good. Some brigades have to take several hours by bus from the city and then transfer to an oxcart."
"Oh? There's a brigade that far away? We're so lucky to be assigned to the Hongguang Brigade, right? Great, great!"
Si Tian's unintentional remark greatly increased the captain's sense of pride.
"Of course, I'm not bragging, but our team has good conditions, convenient transportation, and the villagers are very hospitable. There's practically nothing wrong with it."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qinghao knew that this place was not the place where the Zhu family had been sent down in their previous life. That place in their previous life was so remote that it couldn't possibly be the Hongguang Brigade.
Hearing this news, she felt much relieved.
In her view, revenge for past life's grudges is not necessarily necessary, but the safety and well-being of her family in this life is essential.
If it really is the same place as in her previous life, she would have to keep a close watch on it at all times to prevent those disgusting people from harassing the women in her family.
Now that we're in a different place, while there's no guarantee that similar things won't happen again, those disgusting people from before are definitely not around anymore.
If anyone here is still eyeing them, she won't be polite.
Zhu Qinghao had even planned that, if necessary, the space would be a good place to kill and hide a body.
