"Mom, I'm still young. You can't let him be blind, can you? Factories now recruit educated workers. Do you want me to work in the fields all my life?" Shen Zhihuan rubbed little Weidong's head soothingly, turned his head and looked at Li Qiuhua.
Seeing that Li Qiuhua's expression seemed to relax a little, Shen Zhihuan stood up and moved closer to her, holding her arm and shaking it like a spoiled child, "Mom, I'll be at home from now on, so just let me go!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Li Qiuhua glared at Shen Zhihuan helplessly.
This girl's ideas are getting bigger and bigger.
"Mom, can I really go to school with Xiaopang?" Xiao Weidong showed a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but after a moment, that glimmer of hope sank again, "Xiaopang said that I have to pay tuition to go to school..."
"Little guy, just wait patiently for school after the summer vacation! Don't worry about the tuition fees, your third sister will take care of it." Shen Zhihuan smiled and pulled the little Weidong with a wrinkled face into her arms. She tickled the little Weidong's armpits with her slender fingers, making the little Weidong giggle.
Looking at her children playing around, Li Qiuhua smiled and got up and went into the kitchen.
Since the engagement with the Su family was cancelled, the daughter has become more upright and smiles more often. Compared with the laughter and joy at the Shen family, the sky above the educated youth site seemed to be covered by a layer of dark clouds.
After forcing themselves to smile and seeing Wang Tiezhu off, Chu Ge, Chen Huihui, He Tianming and several other educated youth looked at the muddy yard and the house that was so dilapidated that it couldn't be any shabbyer, with emotions that were speechless.
Although they were prepared for backwardness and determined to face hardships when they signed up, the conditions here are still somewhat different from the backwardness and hardships they had imagined.
"Ugh..." Wang Meili covered her mouth and ran out from the back of the house.
He Tianming walked over quickly, "What's wrong, Meili? Are you feeling unwell?"
He Tianming has two older sisters and a younger sister. He is the only son in the family. Logically, it is not his turn to go to the countryside to work in the fields. However, he insisted on going with Wang Meili. His parents had no choice but to agree.
"That toilet..." Wang Meili pointed at the alley leading to the backyard with a grim expression, and then she started retching again.
Chu Ge looked at his good friend Zhao Zheng with complicated eyes, and walked towards the backyard first. Seeing this, Chen Huihui and several other educated youth hurriedly followed.
When the educated youth saw the so-called toilet which was casually surrounded by bamboo mats and had two wooden boards placed on top of the manure pit, their faces all changed.
When the spoiled Chen Huihui saw some yellow lumps in the pit, she vomited immediately.
Zhao Zheng suddenly rushed out of the female educated youth's yard and ran to the small yard where the male educated youth lived across the wall. After a moment, he turned back with a grim expression, "Same."
Although they were just three simple words, everyone understood what he wanted to express.
Everyone suppressed their nausea and returned to the front yard.
"What if the wooden board breaks?" Chen Huihui's face turned pale.
What if you accidentally slip or miss a step...
Chen Huihui's chest churned again.
"That board looks very strong and shouldn't break easily." Zeng Guangrong, with a relatively calm expression, patted Chen Huihui on the shoulder and comforted her.
Zeng Guangrong's mother died when she was a few months old. Later, her father remarried, and then her biological father became her stepfather. As a burden, she was thrown into the countryside to live with her aunt. It was not until one month before she was sent to the countryside that she was brought back to the city as cannon fodder.
Growing up in the countryside, she can use this kind of toilet with her eyes closed.
These young ladies who have lived in big cities since childhood...
"I don't want to be here, I want to go back." Tian Xiaorou, the youngest female educated youth, had tears in her eyes due to grievance, and her soft and cute voice sounded indescribably pitiful.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Zheng glanced at Tian Xiaorou who was starting to sob with some annoyance.
Now that you are here, can you just leave whenever you want?
If that were the case, he thought, most people would leave without looking back.
"Tian Xiaorou, try to overcome it. You will get used to it after a long time." Zeng Guangrong sighed lightly.
All the educated youth who went to her aunt's village to work in the countryside were like this when they first arrived.
But after a long time, he was just like the villagers, planting sweet potato seedlings in the land that had been fertilized just a few days ago without changing his expression.
"Our fellow villagers have been going through this for generations, so why can't we do it?" Chu Ge picked up the suitcase and walked towards the male educated youth point separated by a wall.
"Chu Ge is right." Zhao Zheng quickly picked up his suitcase and chased after him.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Along the way, we found that there were only a few decent houses in the entire Tenth Production Team. Except for a few newly built large tiled houses, all the other houses were thatched houses made of rammed earth. When we think about it, the few large blue brick tiled houses at their youth training center are still pretty good.
He Tianming glanced at Wang Meili, whose face was still not good. Perhaps Wang Meili noticed his gaze, and turned her head away. Looking at Wang Meili with a look of rejection, he moved his lips, but finally closed them, and went to the next yard with his suitcase.
Seeing this, Zeng Guangrong picked up his suitcase that was placed at the gate and went into the house first.
After a while, the sound of a broom scraping the floor was heard from the room.
Chen Huihui was silent for a moment, tied her long hair with a rubber band, picked up her suitcase and went into the house to help pack.
Seeing Chen Huihui coming into the house to help clean up, Wang Meili hurriedly took out a half-new towel from the suitcase and helped wipe the half-new bunk beds in the room.
Tian Xiaorou, who was crying in the yard, saw several people coming in and out, busy with their own things. No one wanted to comfort her at all, so she stopped talking in embarrassment.
After a long time, the sound of several people making the beds came from the room. Tian Xiaorou bit her back teeth and walked into the room carrying a suitcase with a look of grievance.
When she saw that there was only one seat left near the door, Tian Xiaorou frowned, with flames rising in her eyes.
"Tian Xiaorou, Wang Meili has already wiped your bed for you. You should also make it quickly and have a rest!" Zeng Guangrong saw Tian Xiaorou standing at the door and thought she was still sad, so he hurriedly said.
"Thank you!" Tian Xiaorou lowered her eyelids, wiped her tears, and spoke softly.
Wang Meili, who was taking things out of the suitcase, glanced at Tian Xiaorou, curled her lips, said nothing, and continued to pack the snacks and daily necessities her mother had brought for her.
Chen Huihui, who had already made her bed, lay on it with her clothes on, not knowing whether she was asleep or not.
Seeing that neither of them had any intention of joining in the conversation, Zeng Guangrong forced a smile and said, "Don't be polite. We are all comrades, and it is only natural for us to help each other."
