During the time when Xu Nanxing was preparing to go to the countryside, Li Yan was actually the busiest.
According to current policy regulations, each educated youth who goes to the countryside will be provided with a quilt of cotton wool, 2 jin of cotton, 23 chi of cotton cloth, and a single-person gauze mosquito net free of charge.
These supplies are fine for other places, but they are definitely not enough for the Northeast where the temperature is minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.
He also bought a lot of cloth coupons and cotton coupons and made her a quilt weighing ten kilograms.
Two sets of work clothes were made for her, and two new pairs of shoes, gloves, socks and hats were prepared.
I also prepared a new enamel basin and kettle for her. Since the industrial tickets could only be used locally, I had to buy them for her to take with her.
I also gave her 200 yuan and told her to keep it safe, and to write back when she got to her destination. I would send her things every month.
He also gave her a lot of instructions, and she listened patiently.
Xu Nanxing couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so he had to secretly put spiritual spring water in when he boiled water and helped cook every day.
It’s no wonder that after drinking the spiritual spring water for a few days, the health of Li Yan’s family of three has improved a lot!
On the day of going to the countryside, Li Yan prepared a lot of things for Xu Nanxing, so even Director Wei came to help carry the luggage.
Director Wei wore glasses and looked refined and elegant, not like a factory director, but more like a scholar or professor. Director Wei was usually very busy, and treated Xu Nanxing with the same kindness as his own children.
This time when Xu Nanxing went to the countryside, he helped carry things for her like any other elder.
There are a lot of people coming and going in the train station!
There were many educated youth who went to the countryside with them, with large and small bags of luggage, and even more people coming to see them off, so people were crowded together.
train
Because the train didn't stop at the station for long, Xu Nanxing was afraid of missing the train. After getting the train ticket, she took advantage of her petite body and nimbly moved through the crowd and got on the train in a flash.
I found my carriage and seat accurately, opened the carriage and waved,
"Aunt Li! Here! Here!"
When Li Yan saw this, she immediately handed the luggage in through the car window one by one.
This is basically how trains are these days. Because stops are short, many people pass their luggage through the windows, and some even climb onto the train directly through the windows, all for fear of missing the train.
Sure enough, not long after the luggage was handed over, Li Yan had just given a few instructions when the train started moving.
Xu Nanxing had no choice but to wave at the window until he could no longer see her. The other educated youth in the car did the same.
They were all teenagers, facing separation for the first time. Some of them burst into tears, while others who were affected also shed tears silently.
The atmosphere in the carriage was tense. A middle-aged man in a Lenin suit walked in with a serious face. He said, "You are the educated youth who responded to the great man's call to go to the countryside to build the country! Why are you crying? Listen to each of your chests! Everyone, sing 'Unity is Strength' with me! Ready, sing!"
"Unity is strength. This strength is iron, this strength is steel, harder than iron, stronger than steel. Fire at the fascists, let all undemocratic systems perish, shine brightly towards the sun, towards freedom, towards the new China..."
As the familiar song sounded, everyone slowly started singing along!
The originally depressed carriage suddenly became excited!
No wonder, when this person came in just now, singing was heard from the carriage in front. It turned out that it was specifically to ease their emotions!
Seeing that the educated youth in this carriage were no longer depressed, the man walked to the next carriage with satisfaction.
"You are the educated youth who responded to the great man's call to go to the countryside to build the country! Why are you crying? Listen to each of your chests!"
Not long after, singing was heard from the carriage behind.
...is very responsible.
Within the time it took for one song to pass, everyone in the carriage shook off their previous depression and became lively again.
They all started introducing themselves and asking each other where the other was going to the countryside.
Trains of this era all have two-seater seats.
Next to Xu Nanxing sat a girl with a noble appearance, and opposite her sat two boys, one wearing glasses and looking very refined, the other thin and handsome. These three people should know each other, as they were all wearing new clothes, so they should come from well-off families!
Good luck!
"Comrade, where are you going to cut in line?" asked the boy with glasses opposite.
Xu Nanxing didn't react for a moment.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the other party continued, "My name is Li Xueyu!" and pointed to the boy next to him, "His name is Song Tingyi!"
"The one next to you..."
"My name is Zhang Luyao!" the girl next to her rushed to say.
When Xu Nanxing heard their names, his heart skipped a beat.
It can’t be such a coincidence!
Li Xueyu didn't notice her expression change and continued, "Yes, we are all from the same compound and know each other! We are going to Gaojia Commune in Gaoyang County, Liaoning Province to join the team! Where are you going to join the team?"
Gaojia Commune!
What a coincidence!
Xu Nanxing is also from this commune!
My heart couldn't stop beating fast.
He managed to calm himself down and replied, "My name is Xu Nanxing. Like you, I also went to Gaojia Commune to work in the countryside!"
Someone from the other side of the aisle also said, "We are both from Gaojia Commune!"
"I'm from Yuanping Commune, Gaoyang County!"
…
It seems that the educated youth in this carriage are basically going to the same county.
When I was away from home and didn't know anyone, I knew that the people around me had all gone to the countryside for the same purpose. Although they might not be from the same brigade, I couldn't help but communicate with each other.
Xu Nanxing didn't want to talk to anyone else, he was only thinking about the names of the people next to him.
