"Let's go!" Cheng Guozhong pointed to the carriage he was driving nearby and said to Xu Zhixin, Lu Pinjie and Zhu Yong.
"Put all your luggage on board, and get on the cart. I was worried that there were five of you, and the combination of you and your luggage would be too heavy for the horse to pull. I had to let you walk to the team, and let the horse pull the luggage... I didn't expect that only three of you came, and two didn't come, so the horse could pull both the luggage and the people."
"Speaking of the two people who didn't come, is Zhou Jiajia's injury serious? It seems like it will take a long time for her to heal. After she recovers, she will come to report to the team!" Cheng Guozhong asked.
He had already learned from the Youth League Office that Zhou Jiajia was injured while boarding the train and asked her boyfriend Yu Guojun to take him to the hospital for treatment.
"…The injury is quite serious. I don't know how long it will take to heal. The comrades from the Youth League Office said they would call our Youth League Office and ask them to find Zhou Jiajia and Yu Guojun and ask them to come within a certain time."
Lu Pinjie hesitated for a moment and decided to be kind enough to help Zhou Jiajia, saying that her injury was a bit serious. Not to mention that her injury was just a broken skin and some bleeding, which was not serious at all. There was no need to go to the hospital. She could just bandage it casually, or even find some cloth or paper to block the wound, and the bleeding would stop soon. This prevented the captain from being disgusted with her and thinking that she was making a fuss and being a spoiled girl.
Although Zhou Jiajia was indeed making a fuss, she was a spoiled brat.
If they were asked to come within a deadline, they would still come. Yu Guojun was fine, as the room for the male educated youth was not so crowded, and two or three more people could live there without any problem. But the room for the female educated youth was really crowded, and it was estimated that they could barely accommodate Xu Zhixin and Lu Pinjie, and there was no room for another person. If Zhou Jiajia came, I was afraid there would be no room for her.
So annoying!
Cheng Guozhong sighed in his heart. What he had said before about the lack of accommodation for the female educated youth in the Youth Camp was not a lie. There were only two rooms for the female educated youth, and each room was not big. But with twelve educated youth living in them, it was really crowded.
But if we think of a way, and move them around a bit, and squeeze them in, it shouldn't be a problem to accommodate Xu Zhixin and Lu Pinjie.
As for Zhou Jiajia, let's wait until she comes. There's no point in getting upset now, it will only add to your troubles.
Xu Zhixin and the other educated youth did not notice that Cheng Guozhong was troubled. Their attention was all on the carriage, and they were staring at it with curiosity.
It seems that this province is indeed wealthy, so the brigade can afford horses and carriages. In the novels and TV dramas I read before, when the brigade came to pick up the educated youth, they all drove ox carts, and a few had donkey carts. This is the first time I have seen a horse carriage.
But horse-drawn carriages are good, horses run much faster than cows and donkeys. Cows are the worst and are very slow.
Xu Zhixin raised the corners of her lips slightly.
"Xiao Xu, where is your luggage? Why are you standing here without moving? Go and get your luggage and put it on the carriage." Cheng Guozhong saw that Zhu Yong and Lu Pinjie were moving their luggage onto the carriage, but Xu Zhixin did not move at all. She just stood there motionless, staring at the carriage. He frowned slightly and called out.
"I don't have much luggage, so I just brought this bag and this water bottle." Xu Zhixin said.
"What! You only brought this schoolbag and water bottle?!" Cheng Guozhong exclaimed, with an expression of disbelief.
Other educated youths all brought large and small bags, and they were eager to move their homes here, but this girl only brought a schoolbag and a water bottle, without even a set of bedding. What was she thinking?
Is she a fool?
"How are you going to live with just these two things? Don't you know that when educated youth go to the countryside, it means they have to build a new home there, and they need to bring a lot of things..."
"I know. I only brought these two things because I planned to buy other things like bedding from the supply and marketing cooperative after I arrive at the educated youth point. This way I don't have to carry a bunch of things on the train and it would be troublesome to carry them up and down." Xu Zhixin said immediately after hearing Cheng Guozhong's reproachful and scolding words.
