The next day, the whole Zhaojia Village knew that a new person was coming to the village.
Or they are intellectuals from big cities who help them build the countryside.
"I don't know what to build here?" a villager asked doubtfully.
Others also praised, "Do you think they can farm?"
"Is that possible? Otherwise, why would we come here?" a villager replied, but his tone still contained some doubt.
"Tsk, that's hard to say. People in our village don't work, let alone the people in the city, who are all students!" said a villager nearby angrily.
Hearing this, the others looked at him, and that man pouted, looking a little lacking in confidence.
"You're not wrong. Besides, what can a bunch of school kids really do?"
Everyone continued to work. As for who the man was talking about, they knew it, but what good would it do even if they knew? They could still carry the person over.
Su Xia at home was also looking forward to it, and even calculated the time, thinking of going to see it in person.
The village team leader and secretary, Zhao Dazhu, some driving ox carts, some riding bicycles, and several others set off after breakfast. The train arrived at nine in the morning.
The few people were not in a hurry and walked slowly towards the county town.
What was quite coincidental in the county town was that Chen Jianguo also came back today. He didn't call or send a telegram.
It was a sudden surprise. He was on the train, but he had a sleeper berth. For people like them, it was convenient to buy tickets and they could go wherever they wanted.
Sit in the seat by the window and watch the scenery passing by quickly.
For the first time, Chen Jianguo felt at ease. He used to be in a hurry, and every time he was not resting, he missed his family. Today he could finally take a good look at them.
There are so many people on the train, including the departure station and the transfer station. They are all dressed beautifully, carrying military green backpacks, and some even wear hats, dressed like soldiers.
Walking through the crowd, through the crowd, and then across the entire carriage, it is a beautiful scenery.
Some of them were curious, some were expectant, and some were worried. Each of their young faces showed their longing for the future. The people in other carriages looked thoughtful.
Looking at these young people, I don't know what they are thinking, but no one says anything, and some even keep their distance.
Along the way, I listened to a group of young people singing songs about the motherland, talking about their ideals, and reciting quotations.
I really hope time goes by faster and the station appears immediately.
Chen Jianguo, who was in the sleeper car, was also eagerly waiting, hoping that the station would stop soon. What he was most looking forward to now was to know what kind of expressions his wife and children would have when they saw him.
Su Xia calculated the time, dressed the second baby, put him in the stroller, and thoughtfully put on the sunscreen.
"Come on, mommy will take you for a walk!" Su Xia's excited tone also infected Erbao, who kept waving his two fists and babbling in response.
"Mom, are you okay? Why are you so slow? You went out and came back again!" Dabao yelled and ran back like a cannonball.
Su Xia looked at the impact cannon in front of him and looked to the side with disgust.
In fact, Dabao has the same fair skin as her, but because he has been running outside all summer, he doesn't like to wear a hat, sun-protective clothing, and even doesn't like to apply sunscreen. Now he is like a walking Li Kui.
Dabao ran to Su Xia and saw that his mother disliked him again. He shrugged and said it didn't matter.
"Mom, let's go. Didn't you want to watch the fun? Why are you so slow?" After hearing Dabao's words, Su Xia could only roll her eyes.
"Look at you, you can't even wear a hat. You're getting darker than the pigs at home!"
Su Xia locked the door and let the three geese out when she came out. She would come back after they had eaten their fill.
Goose, goose, goose--
A burst of goose cries startled Erbao so much that he opened his eyes wide and waved his fists faster.
Dabao chased the big geese out directly. There were three big geese with their wings spread wide, and Dabao running behind them. Erbao was so happy that he kept bleating.
While pointing his finger forward, he looked at Su Xia, who saw Dabao running over.
I didn't have the heart to preach at all. Facing Erbao's expectant eyes, I said unhappily, "Let's go somewhere else today. I'll see you when you come back!"
Erbao seemed to understand. He put down his fingers, withdrew his gaze, and looked forward.
Dabao walked beside Su Xia, but this time he didn't run.
The mother and daughter walked through the village together and greeted the villagers warmly when they met them.
When Captain Zhao and his group arrived, they saw many ox carts and people waiting.
There were even government officials. Captain Zhao, after seeing this, casually explained, "That's the newly established Educated Youth Office. These educated youth can go to them for anything!"
The secretary nodded. Zhao Dazhu, who was standing beside him, was smoking a pipe and didn't care about other people's eyes at all.
At around nine o'clock, a loud roar woke everyone up, and heads were everywhere at the door of the carriage.
Chen Jianguo, carrying a large backpack, one in each hand, also queued up. The only advantage he had was that there were fewer people there.
After all, who were the few people sitting on the sleeper berths? Chen Jianguo's heart was pounding, and the heat in his eyes was as strong as the sun outside.
"Captain, it seems we're here!" The secretary reminded the captain who was squatting on the ground smoking that he had to consider his image.
"Why are you in such a hurry? We still have to wait for the division after we get here!" Captain Zhao was not in a hurry at all. He was originally looking forward to it and thought that the higher-ups were doing this for rural development.
Captain Zhao was still thinking that they would not starve to death every year because they had enough food, but they had no money. He thought that these people were all educated, high school students or even college students. This was not right. Before his dream could come true, he was poured a bucket of cold water by the people in the county.
What can a bunch of kids do?
"Don't push, don't push, line up one by one, those who say their names step out, and then follow the captain who is assigned to the village!"
.....
There was a loud shouting coming from the front. It sounded like the voice was being shouted at the top of its lungs. Chen Jianguo also heard it. He looked over and found that they were all a group of young people, many of whom even looked like children.
I was wondering why there were so many people, when I saw the person in front of me helplessly picked up the loudspeaker and started shouting.
Hearing about the educated youth going to the countryside, Chen Jianguo's eyes couldn't help but become sharp, staring straight at him, and sighed in his heart. No wonder the leaders had been worried and even started to make arrangements for them in advance.
Chen Jianguo was really grateful at this moment. This advance arrangement was the best and most suitable for him.
Then he turned around and walked forward. As for the appointment, he would wait until tomorrow. Now he was just thinking about going home to see his wife and children.
Zhao Dazhui, who was waiting for the arrival of the educated youth in Zhaojia Village, took a casual glance and couldn't help but widen his eyes. He wiped his eyes, then waved his hands frantically and shouted loudly.
"Jianguo, here?"
The others were shocked by the shout and looked over. They saw a man with a backpack and a bag in both hands. They all curled their lips and turned away.
I thought he was an educated youth I knew from the village, but when I saw Chen Jianguo's appearance, I realized that he was not. Didn't I see that those educated youth were even more immature than the kids at home?
Captain Zhao and the secretary also looked over and their eyes widened.
Chen Jianguo also noticed the people from his village, and saw that it was the team leader and secretary, Uncle Zhao, and hurried over.
"Captain, Secretary Uncle Zhao, what are you doing?"
Chen Jianguo asked the three people, but he guessed that they should come and pick someone up.
The three people from Zhaojia Village were curious about Chen Jianguo.
"Jianguo, are you going home? Taking another vacation?" Captain Zhao asked curiously, as he had quite a few big bags.
Chen Jianguo smiled and nodded, but he didn't tell the truth. He said he would tell the truth after his work was stable.
"Well, I came to visit my family. I'm not busy at the moment!"
The three of them were not curious about what Chen Jianguo said, and thought that Su Xia had come in a hurry when she gave birth last time. This time she came back specifically to see the child more.
"That's right. Your second baby is so plump and white now. You have to come back to see him!" Zhao Dazhu said, and looked at Jianguo with satisfaction.
Chen Jianguo's eyes softened, and he stood there, chatting with a few people. Most of the time, the three captains talked about family matters.
In this way, Chen Jianguo knew almost everything before he got home.
"Captain Zhao, these are the educated youth assigned to your village. I hand them over to you!"
During this long period, Chen Jianguo stood quietly aside and turned to look at the young people standing there.
