Su Tao was carrying two large packages and a small package, walking briskly, and from time to time she would pay attention to Song Tanglan behind her.
Seeing that she had walked for such a long time without even taking a breath, Song Tanglan suddenly felt that she was so weak. Su Tao was not much taller than her, but she was much stronger than her. The comparison was hurtful.
Sun Jianhua and Yu He had a lot of luggage, and they felt embarrassed to ask others for help.
The tractor of Ganhe Commune was just outside the station, and they were met by the commune secretary and the armed forces department.
The tractor was packed with people and luggage. After Su Tao put her own luggage on, she helped put Song Tanglan's luggage on as well. The two of them sat on their own luggage, holding their own small bags.
It feels a bit uncomfortable to curl up my legs, and even if I want to change the position, I can't squeeze them apart.
"Lanlan, do you think we'll be assigned to the same team later?"
"I don't know either. It would be great if I could be assigned to the same team as Taotao."
Since she came here, it was rare for her to have a good friend to play with. Song Tanglan was reluctant to part with her because there were really not many people who could play with her.
"It's okay. I'll be secretly thinking about being assigned to the same team with you. Maybe it will come true!"
Su Tao whispered in her ear.
Song Tanglan was also touched by Su Tao's cuteness, but the two of them talked about it in secret because it was really not the right time to say such things.
After all, it would be terrible if people accused me of feudal superstition.
The train arrived in the morning. It was said that it would take two hours to get from the county town to the commune below by tractor. After arriving at the commune, I had to go to the brigade and then to the production team below.
Originally, the two were still chatting in whispers, but I don’t know who started it on the tractor, but they suddenly started singing:
"Learn from Lei Feng's good example, be loyal to the revolution and the Party, be clear about what you love and hate, and never forget your roots. Be firm in your stance and strong in your fighting spirit..."
As soon as the people on the tractor at the back started singing, the people in the front also started roaring, not to be outdone. No matter how many people there were, they couldn't keep up with their rhythm.
But because of their unwillingness to give in, everyone relied on shouting, the rhythm became more and more chaotic, and many people could not keep up.
"What's that song? It's like ghosts howling and wolves howling. It's better to stay quiet."
Su Tao really couldn't stand the devilish sounds around her destroying her ears, and couldn't help but complain to Song Tanglan beside her.
"Maybe he's just venting the frustration of the past few days!"
Song Tanglan couldn't stand their evil voices and covered her ears with her hands early on.
Liu Guoqiang, who was driving the tractor, chuckled a few times: "These kids in the city are really strong. After sitting on the train for so many days, they still have the energy to sing and don't even feel tired."
Next to him sat Lu Ping, an officer from the commune's armed forces department. He was wearing a well-fitting Mao suit, leaning back with his arms folded. He raised his eyelids and said,
“I hope I can be as motivated as I am when I go to work.”
But they all knew that was impossible.
These young people in the city either complain about the poor food or the poor living conditions. When they go to work, they either get sick or injured.
When the grain is distributed at the end of the year, they are still complaining about it. They are really looking for trouble.
I guess there wasn't a single member of the production team who didn't despise them. They said they were coming to the countryside to support rural development, but they couldn't carry anything, and they relied on their ability to read and write, like they were looking at someone with their eyes on top of their heads.
It's not like he hasn't seen educated youth like this before.
The two groups of educated youth who came to the team before had not been heard from for a long time. He thought that no one would come again, but who knew that so many of them would suddenly come.
There are six brigades under Ganhe Commune. With so many educated youth, each brigade will probably get a lot, and their team probably won't be able to escape.
Thinking of my friend's instructions, I didn't know which girl was Song Tanglan.
Although Song Tanglan was not very carsick, the smell on the train was really unpleasant and she felt very uncomfortable on the train.
I thought I would be free after finally getting off the train, but unexpectedly, I got on the tractor again while I was catching my breath.
Compared to her listless look, Su Tao seemed more energetic. She was now looking at the surrounding environment with a bright look.
The tractor rumbled out of the county town. It was a very bumpy journey that made my heart and lungs hurt.
The educated youth who were singing loudly at the beginning could no longer sing due to the bumpy ride, and all of them looked pale.
She actually fell asleep on the way. Fortunately, Su Tao woke her up when they got off the car. She shook her head and soon woke up.
He quickly took his luggage off the car and stood beside the queue with Su Tao, waiting for the commune officials to assign them a place.
