When Xu Zhiyi arrived at the gate of the commune, there were already many educated youth waiting there carrying large and small bags.
Xu Zhiyi saw someone at the gate of the commune counting the educated youth from An County. She walked over and said, "Hello, comrade. I'm Xu Zhiyi, an educated youth from Xiangyang Village."
Wang Li found Xu Zhiyi's name on the list and checked it.
I couldn't help but look at Xu Zhiyi a few times. During this period, Xu Zhiyi's little face finally didn't look sick anymore. The palm-sized smiling face and tender skin, but she looked a little lonely. Maybe it was because she was still young. If she grew up a little, she would be a delicate beauty.
Wang Li sighed secretly in her heart.
"People from Xiangyang Village go there. Someone from the village will come to pick you up later." Wang Li pointed in a direction.
"Okay, thank you, sister." Xu Zhiyi thanked her sweetly.
Wang Li was quite happy. She was now in her thirties, and there was still such a young girl calling her sister. She immediately developed some good feelings for Xu Zhiyi.
Xu Zhiyi walked towards the waiting point in Xiangyang Village. What a coincidence, several familiar faces from the train were waiting there.
The round-faced Gan Tiantian and her companion Fang Kai, and that nerdy guy who never put down his book on the train? I didn't see the other talkative girl, so I guess she wasn't assigned to Xiangyang Village.
Xu Zhiyi walked over and stood not far from them. There was no shade, so he could only wait under the scorching sun.
The scorching sun made people very irritable, and some people in the educated youth group began to complain.
"Why haven't you come yet? How long do we have to wait?"
"Really? I didn't know they were waiting to pick us up earlier."
Although most of the educated youth did not speak, their expressions were not very good.
After waiting for almost an hour, there was finally movement on the dirt road.
People appeared one after another driving ox carts, and the educated youth from several villages were taken away, leaving only six educated youth from Xiangyang Village.
After waiting for another half an hour, someone finally arrived in a bullock cart, which really made the educated youth look forward to it.
The old man driving the car, wearing a straw hat, stopped in front of the educated youth and asked, "Are you from Xiangyang Village?"
"Yes! Yes! Uncle, we are all educated youth from Xiangyang Village." Someone couldn't wait to take over the conversation.
"Then hurry up and come up." Looking at the large and small bags of luggage, the old man said impatiently.
The educated youth piled their luggage on the ox cart and sat on it side by side. After Xu Zhiyi and others got on the ox cart, the old man cracked the whip and the ox cart slowly left An County and drove towards Xiangyang Village, where the educated youth were looking forward to building the rural area.
A breeze blew along the way, and the wheat in the wheat fields was green and lush, with waves of wheat in the wind. The educated youth who grew up in the city had never seen such a scene before. They all looked at it with curiosity and excitement, without any sign of being impatient while waiting.
I don't know who started it, but everyone started singing at the same time.
Bathed in the brilliant sunshine,
With lofty ideals in mind,
We, the educated youth who went to the countryside,
Swear to unite with the workers and peasants,
Let youth shine.
......
Although Xu Zhiyi can't sing, she still feels happy listening to them.
The old man herding cattle just curled his lips and complained inwardly, "Wait a few days before you work and see if you can still be full of energy."
The happier the educated youth were in the beginning, the more miserable they were later.
The ox walked slower and slower, mainly because there was a lot of luggage and six people on the ox cart, and the ox was tired.
The old man felt sorry for the cows and asked them to get off the car and walk.
The educated youth were somewhat dissatisfied. They had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the place, so no one objected. At most, they complained a few words in their hearts.
At the beginning, everyone could keep up. After walking for almost an hour, except for Xu Zhiyi and Fang Kai who didn't react much, everyone else slowed down.
Some people fell behind one after another, so the old man stopped in front to wait for them, and let them get on the ox cart. It took more than ten minutes before they arrived at Xiangyang Village.
The old man drove the ox cart into the village, and saw two men walking towards him.
The people who came were Yang Baoguo, the village chief of Xiangyang Village, and his youngest son, Yang Jianjun.
The educated youths took their luggage and got off the bus. The driver looked at the village chief and said, "Baoguo, I've brought the educated youths back. I'm leaving now."
Without waiting for the village chief to speak, he drove off in his ox cart. He was busy sending the ox to the cowshed. He had been walking all afternoon and the ox was exhausted.
"Okay, Uncle Yang, you've worked hard. I'll treat you to a drink when you have time." Yang Baoguo didn't care.
"Hello, educated youth comrades. I am the village chief of Xiangyang Village. I will let Jianjun take you to the educated youth site later. You should pack up first and then go to the village committee to collect your own rations." The village chief spoke to them directly and clearly.
The educated youth had no objections, but those who were tired from all the hard work went to the educated youth site under the leadership of Yang Jianjun.
After walking for a while, we saw a thatched house made of mud bricks and a weathered wall with some mud falling off. When we walked inside, there was still a large open space. In the corner there was a small vegetable patch with some vegetables, fruits and melons planted.
It was already the end of the working day, and several educated youth were collecting firewood in the yard. One of them heard footsteps and looked up to see the village chief coming in with several young people carrying large and small bags.
"Jianjun, what's the matter with you coming here?" The male educated youth walked up and greeted him.
"Su Zhiqing, these are the educated youth who have gone to the countryside. You should settle them down here. After they have packed up, they can go to the village committee to collect their own rations." Yang Jianjun said.
Su Cheng looked at the educated youth who came in, and he knew what was going on. He turned around and went to the kitchen to call Xie Tang who was preparing to cook. "Xie Tang, the female educated youth are here. Take them to their rooms."
The woman being called had a bright and generous appearance, a sallow complexion, and was quick and efficient. She left the kitchen and approached the waiting educated youth in the courtyard. She smiled and said, "Welcome, I'm Xie Tang. I've been an educated youth here for five years. You can call me Sister Tang."
