"Okay, thanks," he said, putting the money and tickets into his bag, or rather, into his spatial storage. Then he picked up a few baskets with a carrying pole and left.
At this moment, Hu Zi, who was standing next to Geng Qiubo, said, "Brother, should I take some men and take her out?"
"No need. The fact that she can produce so many eggs at this time means that the person behind her is no ordinary person. We'd better avoid trouble, or we won't even know how we died."
"Okay, I'll do as my brother says."
I bought a train ticket back to Fusong County yesterday. The train departs at 7:00 AM, and it's only a little past 5:00 AM now. I had nothing to do, so I wandered around the train station for a while. When I saw that the state-run restaurants were open around 6:00 AM, I quickly bought 10 large meat buns and ate them as I entered the train station.
I waited at the train station for almost an hour before the train finally arrived. This train was delayed by about 40 minutes.
The train departed around 8 o'clock, so it wouldn't arrive in Fusong County until after 1 o'clock. Fortunately, this wouldn't keep Grandpa Huang waiting too long. We didn't encounter them on the train this time, but when we found our seats, someone was already sitting there.
"A single spark can start a prairie fire. Excuse me, comrade, could you please move aside? You're sitting in my seat."
"The future is bright, but the road is tortuous. I'm sorry, comrade, I'm a sent-down youth from Beijing to Fusong County. Could you please let me go? It's too far from Beijing to Fusong County, and I didn't expect the train journey to be so tiring."
"Nothing is difficult if you put your mind to it. Comrade, if you're tired, don't go to the countryside as an educated youth. We are the new generation of Chinese sons and daughters, how can we be afraid of hardship and fatigue?"
"Me, me"
"Where there is oppression, there is resistance! Excuse me, comrade, you're sitting in my seat, and this is my ticket."
"You, Yuanyuan, you'd better move aside. This comrade is right, that person did indeed buy a train ticket, and it's a seat ticket at that."
"Yes, Ruan Yuanyuan, you should move aside. I'm so sorry, comrade. We've come all the way from Beijing. Yuanyuan wasn't feeling well, so she took your seat. Please forgive her."
"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is exhausted, we attack. Comrade, please understand, this seat is not mine. The ticket I sold clearly indicates that it can be used from Tongshi to Fusong County, so this section of the journey is mine."
After hearing this, no one knew what to say next.
Sitting in my seat with my eyes closed, I wondered if it was just a coincidence that the woman who had saved the seats, Ruan Yuanyuan, was someone I knew!
But then again, she's changed so much, and she didn't even recognize me? It's understandable, even though I grew up in the military compound, I didn't play with the other kids there, and I started school earlier than them and didn't repeat a grade.
Take Ruan Yuanyuan for example. We went to school together. I started first grade when I was six, and she started when she was eight. If I remember correctly, I was almost graduating from high school when I left Beijing, and she was just graduating from junior high school. She didn't pass the junior high school entrance exam after graduating from elementary school. I think she took it two or three times before she passed! Could it be that she went to the countryside because she didn't pass the high school entrance exam, or for some other reason?
Sitting on the train to Fusong County, I finally understood.
Most of the people sitting in this carriage were educated youth sent to the countryside. From their conversation, it was clear that Ruan Yuanyuan liked a male educated youth named Bai Jiaming, while this male educated youth was always trying to win over a female educated youth named Chen Xi.
Ruan Yuanyuan stared at Chen Xi, the educated youth, with resentment. After looking at her closely, she realized that Chen Xi was indeed prettier than Ruan Yuanyuan and the other educated youths.
However, this educated youth surnamed Chen didn't seem to like the educated youth surnamed Bai. Instead, Chen Xi would steal glances at Li Mingqiao, who was sitting not far away, and would blush from time to time.
After figuring this out, I realized their relationship was complicated enough. I hoped they wouldn't be assigned to my brigade, otherwise things would get really interesting.
After getting off the train, I saw a lot of people at the station. The people rushing to catch their train were none other than the captain and Gu Yunpeng. I quickly went over and asked, "Captain, what do you mean by this?"
"Didn't we get a notice that another batch of educated youth have arrived? They just happen to be assigned to our brigade this time. You've come back from Tongshi, haven't you?"
"You're back. Captain, when are we leaving?"
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"I finally managed to get into the city to visit the supply and marketing cooperative. Otherwise, with the autumn harvest just around the corner, I wouldn't feel comfortable asking for leave, would I?"
"Okay, go ahead. They'll need at least an hour or two to finish their meeting, roll call, and assignments. There's nothing for you to do here. Go ahead, it'll be at least two hours before you get back. Go take care of your business first."
"Alright, Captain, I'll wait for you at the city gate then."
"good"
It's not time to go to work yet, so I went to the state-run restaurant and bought 10 large meat buns. I also learned that they had a serving of braised pork and braised fish that they hadn't sold yet, so I bought those too.
Seeing that it was almost time, I quickly went to collect my two months' allowance, exchanged it for grain, bought some things at the supply and marketing cooperative, and headed towards the city gate. I really didn't want to have too much interaction with these educated youth.
But to his utter surprise, when the brigade leader arrived with the educated youth, he saw Ruan Yuanyuan, Bai Jiaming, Chen Xi, Li Mingqiao, and the person sitting next to Ruan Yuanyuan talking to him in the crowd. What was going on?
When the brigade leader saw me, he said, "This is Li, an educated youth from our brigade. You can ask her if you have any questions."
"Uncle Captain, there's no need for that. I haven't been in our brigade for very long either. Besides, it wouldn't be fair to these educated youths to make my demands, would it?"
"You're right, not everyone can complete 6 work points in half a day. I'll find someone else to lead them."
"yes"
Just a few hours ago, these people had experienced the consequences of their verbal sparring, and they also didn't understand the captain's temper, so they didn't dare to say a word, whether they were talking to the captain or not.
I didn't pay any attention to it, but I didn't expect that the team leader would misunderstand and think that these five people were honest people. But after they started working, they found that they had been proven wrong.
When they returned to the production team, they saw Chen Junjie and his companion just finishing work, and asked, "Are you two going into the mountains?"
"yes?"
"Then wait a moment, let's go together."
"OK"
