A look of realization flashed across Cheng Guozhong's face, "So that's how it is... You are really lazy!" Although it was a lazy behavior, the fact that she could come up with this idea also showed that this girl had a good brain.
Before this, no one had ever thought that educated youth would not have to bring a lot of things with them when they went to the countryside. They could just go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy the daily necessities after arriving at the educated youth center. The supply and marketing cooperatives had all the daily necessities.
But it is better to bring them from home, because there are many things you don’t have to spend money or tickets on. If you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them all, you will need a lot of money and tickets, which is such a waste.
Xu Zhixin planned to buy all the things at the supply and marketing cooperative. It seemed that her family was well-off. But judging from the way she was dressed, it didn't look like her family was well-off.
Never mind. Zhu Yong and Lu Pinjie have already loaded all the luggage into the carriage, so we can go now.
We have to get back to the team before dark, we can't delay.
"You three get in the carriage, we're leaving." Cheng Guozhong said as he walked to the front of the carriage. Since he was going to drive, he naturally had to sit in the front.
"Let's sit in the back." Zhu Yong looked at the carriage and thought it would be a good idea to sit in the back, so he said to Lu Pinjie and Xu Zhixin.
Xu Zhixin and Lu Pinjie looked at the back of the carriage and saw that it was wide enough to seat three or four people, so they nodded in agreement.
When Cheng Guozhong looked back and saw that Xu Zhixin, Lu Pinjie and Zhu Yong were already seated in the back of the carriage, he patted the horse's butt and let it go.
The horse soon broke into a trot, but it was steady and not jolting.
"Have you ever ridden in a carriage before? I have never ridden in one. Before I got on the carriage, I was a little worried that it would be uncomfortable. I didn't expect that my worry was in vain. It feels pretty good to ride in a carriage." Lu Pinjie said to Xu Zhixin and Zhu Yong beside him.
Xu Zhixin and Zhu Yong shook their heads together, indicating that they had never ridden in a carriage before.
Xu Zhixin wanted to say that although she had never ridden in a carriage, she had ridden a horse, but when the words came to her lips, she felt it was inappropriate and swallowed them back.
If she said she had ridden a horse, others would definitely be skeptical because people in the city don't raise horses like they do in the countryside. If people asked her where she rode the horse, how would she answer?
"Captain, is the commune far from the Lu'an Brigade? How long does it take for us to get there by horse carriage?" Lu Pinjie turned to look at Cheng Guozhong who was driving in front and asked.
"It's a bit far. It takes about an hour to walk there, but it's faster to take a carriage. It only takes about 20 minutes." Cheng Guozhong replied.
"Twenty minutes, that's quite close. Fortunately, the captain uncle drove to pick us up, otherwise we would have to walk for an hour to get to the brigade... Captain uncle, thank you!" Zhu Yong turned his head to look at Cheng Guozhong, revealing a flattering smile, and deliberately asked the uncle to close the distance.
"Uncle Captain, how many people are there in the Liu'an Brigade? Is it a lot?" Xu Zhixin wanted to know about the situation of the Liu'an Brigade, so she asked and called Uncle Cheng Guozhong, hoping to get closer to them.
"A lot. Our brigade has 157 households and more than 500 people," Cheng Guozhong replied.
"More than 500 people, that's quite a lot. What crops are planted in the fields of Liu'an Brigade? I heard that every brigade has a pig farm, so Liu'an Brigade must have one too. How many pigs are there? Also, may I ask if the work point value in Liu'an Brigade is high? How much is one work point worth?" Xu Zhixin continued to inquire.
Everyone was secretly surprised. Zhu Yong and Lu Pinjie thought that Xu Zhixin knew a lot and actually thought of asking these questions. They had never expected this.
Cheng Guozhong narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Xu Zhixin carefully. This girl is extraordinary!
He has received many educated youth who went to the countryside over the years, but none of them asked these questions. It is obvious that this girl knows a lot.
To live in the brigade, you naturally have to understand the situation of the brigade. If you understand the people, crops, pigs, and scores, you will know the general situation of the brigade.
