Cheng Fangyuan drove the ox cart in front, and Song Tangcheng didn't care about these confused people, and pulled Song Tanglan to follow the ox cart.
Su Tao, Sun Jianhua and the other two looked at the pile of things on the ox cart and thought that this was a very normal thing. They had just seen other groups carrying their own luggage on the road.
Ignoring the people behind me, I just followed the pace of the person in front.
The five educated youths behind him completely forgot that they were grateful to the other person for taking them to the supply and marketing cooperative, and now they started complaining.
"What? I was just complaining. Is it necessary to get so angry?"
Tian Yulan was still favored at home, and everyone around her had flattered and tried to please her since she was a child. Now she was just complaining, but was pointed at and scolded by others, and she felt a little aggrieved.
But she always liked to pretend to be weak in front of gay men, so now she looks like she has been wronged.
Li Meifang, her little follower, also hated her expression, but to please her, she chimed in, "That's right, we've been on the train for five days and are exhausted, and now we have to walk back to the brigade."
Another woman also said, "Stop complaining. The important thing is to leave quickly. If you offend the people in the village, they will make things difficult for you, and your life will definitely be difficult in the future."
After saying that, she didn't care about the two troublesome female educated youth and just followed the footsteps in front. She didn't want to walk either, but what else could she do?
Didn't you see that the other groups were all walking? Does complaining mean they can get a ride?
The two male educated youth who were originally standing next to them had been silent. Now, faced with this situation, they just looked at each other, ignored the two people who were still complaining behind them, and followed the female educated youth in front.
Although they had not walked such a long distance, they did not want to stay and feed the wolves.
The two female educated youth who were originally complaining at the back had no choice but to follow the team when they saw that they had all left. They didn't know the way back to the village.
Song Tanglan noticed the movement behind her and looked at her second sister next to her with some curiosity.
Seeing her quirky appearance, Song Tangcheng said helplessly, "You always gossip about everything. This is normal. When we first came here, we were like this too. The person who came to pick us up was the captain, and the captain was even more fierce!"
"Second sister, is it really okay for you to say that about your father-in-law?" Song Tanglan was just feeling a little bit curious at first, but she didn't expect to feel speechless after hearing her say that.
"Hahaha, don't worry, father-in-law can't hear you."
The atmosphere in Captain Cheng's family is very good. The captain never puts on airs at home and is afraid of his wife. Many villagers in the team tease him about this.
Su Tao and the other two were not far away from the two of them, so they naturally heard what they said. They all looked at Song Tangcheng in a daze.
I didn't expect her to be so bold that she even dared to tease a high-ranking official like the captain.
In their understanding, the team leader is in charge of the entire team. If you offend the team leader, you will be in trouble. These are the experiences told to them by people who have gone to the countryside before.
"Second sister, you've let yourself go a little too much. Please control yourself."
Song Tanglan was afraid that she would reveal something new, so she reminded her immediately.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How's things at home? Is everyone okay?"
"Everything is fine. My parents are in good health. My eldest brother, his wife, and my third sister are all the same. But my youngest brother knew I was going to the countryside and kept crying and asking me not to leave."
When Song Tanglan thought about the 10 days she stayed at home, she would stick to him as soon as he came back from get out of class, and even skipped her usual favorite outings.
"I knew that my younger brother would not be able to bear to leave you." Song Tangcheng knew the situation of her family. Her younger sister and younger brother had always had a good relationship. Her younger sister had spoiled him since he was a child and would secretly bring him any delicious food.
Otherwise, my younger brother wouldn’t have been so fat when he was a child. Fortunately, he grew taller slowly later, otherwise my family would have been worried.
Song Tangcheng did not ask about her younger sister going to the countryside. She knew that now was not the time to ask.
"Yeah, he even said he wanted to come to the village to play during the holidays!"
"Let him come. We have a place to stay at home anyway. Why didn't I hear him say he would come to the countryside to accompany me during the holidays when I went to the countryside before?"
Song Tangcheng teased with some jealousy.
"Second sister, aren't you the one who annoys him the most? He's afraid that you'll beat him up."
"Hahaha, you're the only one who spoils him. If it were me and my third sister, we would have beaten him up long ago."
Song Tangcheng and the other person were chatting for the first half of the journey. In the second half, the female educated youth were obviously unable to walk anymore, and even the male educated youth were walking slower and slower.
They hadn't even reached halfway yet, and Cheng Fangyuan saw that this wasn't going to work, so he said with disdain.
"You two female educated youth who are the last to leave will go up and sit for 10 minutes, and then another female educated youth will take turns sitting for 10 minutes, and so on. Don't waste time here. You haven't even walked halfway!"
Cheng Fangyuan's words made the two female educated youth who were originally walking reluctantly at the back quickly walk forward and sit on the ox cart. They no longer mind that the ox cart is dirty. They just walked for so long and were really tired and hot.
Although they only rested in the car for 10 minutes, they didn't mind.
Song Tanglan and Su Tao still had some physical strength, but their legs were still a little sore after walking for so long, but they had not reached their physical limit.
Song Tangcheng was used to living in the countryside, so he didn't feel tired from this short journey.
The male educated youth didn't dare to say anything. After all, they were men. How could they have the nerve to compete with the female educated youth for seats?
The group followed this path for half an hour and were about to reach the village.
However, the group of people were too tired to walk anymore. Cheng Fangyuan had no choice but to stop the team, let them rest for 10 minutes, and then continue on their journey.
Song Tanglan had been walking for so long that he felt a burning pain in the soles of his feet. He wondered if blisters had formed. Although he rested on the ox cart for 10 minutes, those 10 minutes were nothing compared to the rest of the journey.
He found a place to sit down and rest with Song Tangcheng, took out his water bottle, took a sip of water, and then handed it to Song Tangcheng next to him.
Song Tangcheng didn't bother to be polite with his younger sister. He picked up the cup and started drinking water.
When he stopped, Song Tanglan felt his calves were a little sore, so he reached out and pinched them.
"Tired?"
"Uh-huh."
"You have to exercise more in the future. Working in the fields is even harder!"
Song Tangcheng couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought of his younger sister who would have to start working in the fields the day after tomorrow. Even though he asked his mother-in-law and sister-in-law to help take care of her, he still had to go to the fields with them.
"It's okay, sister. I'm just not used to it for the time being. It will be fine once I get used to it."
Song Tanglan looked at her second sister who was massaging her other leg and couldn't help but say comfortingly.
"That's what you say, but working in the fields is never that easy."
As Song Tangcheng spoke, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. What had happened at home that required his younger sister to go to the countryside at this critical moment?
