A few days passed in this uneventful manner. One day, just as Chu Tian and Chu Jun were about to leave the brigade headquarters, they were stopped by Captain Sun.
Seeing this, Chu Jun wanted to leave first, but Captain Sun waved his hand and said, "Chu Jun, it's not a big deal. You can wait for Chu Tian to come together."
After saying that, he looked at Chu Tian and said, "Chu Tian, come with me to pick someone up tomorrow morning..."
Chu Tian understood and nodded, "I understand. I will come to the brigade headquarters early tomorrow morning."
Captain Sun said "Hmm," and signaled that they could leave.
On the way home, Chu Jun looked at Chu Tian in confusion, "Oh my God, the captain said to pick someone up? Who? The leader?"
Chu Tian strode towards the old Chu family, explaining as he walked, "The educated youth assigned to each brigade by the regiment..."
It was no secret that we were receiving educated youth, so when Chu Jun asked, Chu Tian answered honestly.
Chu Jun was stunned. "Sent-down youth? Our brigade is going to have educated youth too?"
Chu Tian smiled and said, "Brother, you are wrong. All the companies under our Red Flag Corps will have educated youth..."
Chu Jun said "Oh", but then felt something was wrong and asked in confusion, "But why did the captain ask you to come along to pick someone up?"
Chu Tian thought for a moment, touched his chin, and smiled narcissistically at Chu Jun, "Maybe the captain thinks I'm a good-looking brother, and wants to use me to save face?"
Chu Army, "..."
Although Chu Jun had a speechless expression, Chu Tian was not exaggerating. Recently, the three of them had eaten a lot of delicious food in private. Their cheeks had grown some flesh, and they had applied some skin care products, which made their faces, which were not very rough to begin with, look a lot more handsome.
And because the original body's foundation was good, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge, it is said that beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Chu Tian's skin is not bad, and his bones are even better. In addition, he is 1.83 meters tall...
Chu Jun was stunned by his brother's narcissism, but after taking a closer look at Chu Tian's appearance, Chu Jun had to admit that in the entire 7th Company's 4th Production Team, his 4th brother was indeed the best looking...
The next day, Chu Tian got up before dawn and said to Yao Xiujuan, who had woken up with him, "The temperature has dropped again recently. If you can stay at home, then don't go out. I told Daya yesterday to bring breakfast and lunch to you and your mother. If you're hungry, just make a bowl of milk powder and eat these biscuits..."
"Today I'm going to the city with the team leader to pick up the educated youth. If it's early, I'll go to the city supply and marketing cooperative to see if I can buy an iron pot and a stove. If I can, I'll bring back some food and we can cook in the house..."
Recently the meals of the old Chu family have been getting worse and worse. The thin porridge before was still enough to make people feel about 40% full after being stirred evenly, but the thin porridge now is just watery after being stirred evenly, and can't even make people feel full after drinking it. Chu Tian himself doesn't care. He has disposable gas tanks and gas tank stoves in his space, so he can often enter the space to cook for himself. However, Yao Xiujuan is a pregnant woman, and Wu Ya is a young child who needs nutrition. How can they go hungry and full every day?
So, I still have to cook a little...
In fact, it is because many of the fast foods in Chu Tian's space are not available in this era, and Chu Tian dare not take them out casually...
Oh, life is so hard!
Yao Xiujuan nodded, put the scarf she had put on him before back on his face, and repeatedly told him, "Brother Tian, be careful on the road and come back soon."
Chu Tian resisted the urge to hug her and kiss her, and nodded with a smile, "I know."
When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, Captain Sun was already there. He didn't have time to greet Chu Tian. Seeing that everyone was there, he hurriedly set off.
There was no way out as time was running out. They didn't go directly to the city to pick up the people, but had to go to the regiment headquarters to draw lots first, and then set off with the rest of the team to the city to pick up the people.
Chu Tian cursed inwardly. Isn't this just a hassle? It's only 20 to 30 kilometers from the company to the city, but now it's over 40 kilometers from the regiment headquarters. Isn't this just looking for trouble? All this trouble, just to draw lots? Isn't this nonsense? If we have to draw lots, why didn't we draw lots at the last meeting?
After hastily drawing lots, Captain Sun returned to the carriage with a dark face, clutching the slip tightly. He said to the carriage driver, Sun Weiguo, "Weiguo, quickly follow our company's brigade."
"Why···"
Seeing that his father looked unhappy, Sun Weiguo did not dare to ask any more questions, for fear that his father would vent his anger on him. He quickly drove the carriage behind the carriage of the third team of the seventh company.
Chu Tian asked doubtfully, "Captain, what's wrong?"
Captain Sun has always liked Chu Tian, especially since Chu Tian helped him think of ways to arrange for the educated youth in the future. When he heard his question, he sighed heavily.
"My luck wasn't very good. I drew the note of fifteen people..."
Chu Tian wondered what was going on and started to console him, "Captain, there are already sixteen groups of fifteen people among the twenty-one groups. So, it's just one more person, isn't it? What's the big deal? After all, releasing fourteen cows is the same as releasing fifteen cows. It's okay."
Captain Sun couldn't help but laugh, then he sighed heavily, "But among this herd of cattle, there are nine cows and six bulls."
“····”
The corner of Sun Weiguo's mouth twitched as he was driving the cart. He thought to himself that his father really cooperated with Brother Tian's words, what with the bull and the cow!
Chu Tian was surprised. "So many female comrades? Are there many female comrades in other teams?"
Captain Sun impatiently took out his pipe and started puffing. "There are quite a few of them. Most of this group of educated youth are female, with relatively few males. It is said that originally the majority of the men who came on the same train were female, but many of them were going to the southern and northern Xinjiang to open up wasteland. Those places are much more difficult than here, so most of the men were sent to open up wasteland..."
Chu Tian was shocked. "So, the male and female comrades who stayed behind have a serious imbalance in the gender ratio?"
"yes."
Captain Sun nodded, paused, and then angrily patted the shaft of the cart, saying, "Even if there's an imbalance in the gender ratio, other brigades don't have as many female comrades as we do. They basically either have an equal number of men and women, or they have one more than other brigades! Unlike our 7th Company 4th Brigade, we have three more! It really piss me off..."
"Tell me, what can we do with so many female comrades? There aren't many girls in our own team who are particularly good at work. How can these girls from the city be good at it?"
Captain Sun became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He wished he could replace all nine female comrades with male comrades.
Chu Tian looked at Captain Sun's disgusted expression, suppressed his smile, and quickly comforted him, "Captain, you can't say that outside. The Chairman has said that women hold up half the sky. You can't look down on female comrades..."
