When Zhao Xiangdong rode his bike to the commune, he saw five people, including an elderly man standing there with luggage. He felt a little strange.
Are the educated youth who went to the countryside now middle-aged? Has the city become like this?
Zhao Xiangdong touched his head and walked into the educated youth office.
"Old Wang, are the people outside from our team?"
"Old Zhao, you're here. This is your team's name list." Officer Wang opened a drawer and took out a list and handed it over. "This is your team's name list. Take it back after you've counted it. It's getting late."
Zhao Xiangdong opened the list and looked at it. He only saw four people on it. He asked curiously, "Aren't there only four people on it? Why are there five people outside? Who is the extra old man? Why is he standing in our team with his luggage?"
"That person?"
Secretary Wang tilted his head to look outside, then moved his bench mysteriously to Zhao Xiangdong's side and whispered:
"Let me tell you the truth. It was our director's friend, the vicious stepmother of Gu Xingzhou, who just got married in your brigade. She came with the young lady next to her. During her time here, I noticed that she was quite fond of the young man next to her."
"These two people are definitely here to cause trouble. Before the director left this morning, he specifically told me to tell him when Xu Hongxia comes. You have to be careful."
Secretary Wang gave a reminder and then moved back to his original position.
"I see. I was wondering why you asked me to tell the director. The director and the others were a little excited when they heard someone coming. So that's what's going on. Okay, you mean the vicious stepmother? Then I know what to do. Comrade Gu is an outstanding comrade in our team. Anyone who bullies Comrade Gu is a bad person. Let's go!"
Zhao Xiangdong went out with the list in his pocket and read it with a serious face. After signing in, he got on his bicycle and said, "Okay, follow me now. We still have more than ten miles to go."
After saying that, he started the bicycle and rode slowly forward.
The educated youth looked at each other, sighed, and felt a little unhappy, but they walked slowly.
Xu Hongxia was furious on the spot. She had waited here for so long, but they were asked to pick up their luggage and walk back by themselves.
He threw the package in his hand to the ground and shouted angrily:
"You ride a bicycle and we walk like this? Are you kidding me? How can we walk like this?"
Zhao Xiangdong, who was riding in front, was frightened by the noise, but he continued riding without stopping.
Well, he is here to cause trouble as expected. This person is hard to get along with. He gets angry and makes a fuss as soon as he arrives.
He put on a straight face, turned around and shouted, "How do we go? Use your two legs to walk. You can walk or not. Those who don't want to walk will be sent directly to the northwest. Those who want to walk, hurry up and follow me."
All the other educated youth lowered their heads, with the complaining expressions on their faces and all the unhappiness in their hearts gone. They picked up their luggage and trotted up, following closely behind, not daring to say a word or show any dissatisfaction.
Xu Hongxia was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she was yelled at like that. She was still dazed. When she came to her senses, she wanted to go crazy. Gou Lijuan grabbed her arm and started to coax her.
"Hongxia, let's not rush. Breathe in and out, relax, think about your brother Gu, think about this is where you will stay for the next six months, he is the captain, he is the leader, life will be easy if you get along well with the leader, auntie has taken all your luggage, give it all to me, let's walk faster so we can see your brother Gu earlier."
Gou Lijuan was frightened. She was really afraid that Xu Hongxia would give up at this critical juncture. She reached out to take over all of Xu Hongxia's luggage, and finally said something in a low voice.
"Don't bother with those peasants. They can only act like a bunch of idiots in the countryside. They are nothing in our capital. Just let them go and deal with them when you return to the city."
"Okay, then you carry it. I won't bother with a peasant."
Xu Hongxia knew that when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, otherwise you will have to suffer in the future. The most urgent thing now is to meet Brother Gu as soon as possible and get married.
Xu Hongxia figured it out and followed behind with empty hands. But Gou Lijuan had a hard time carrying a lot of luggage. Looking at Xu Hongxia who really didn't care about anything in the front, she rolled her eyes several times and kept cursing in her heart.
Especially after walking for a long time and still not reaching the destination, she was physically and mentally exhausted. How could her not-so-young body, which had been pampered for so long, endure it? Gou Lijuan felt as if her hands and feet were not her own.
She looked up and saw a country bumpkin riding a bicycle leisurely in front of her, and her heart almost vomited.
I can't go on like this, I'll die of exhaustion on this road.
Gou Lijuan took a deep breath, walked up to Zhao Xiangdong with a smile on her face and spoke in a flattering manner.
"Comrade Captain, I see your back seat is empty. Can you help me check in some luggage? I really can't carry it. Could you please do me a favor?"
"You need to put your luggage there." Zhao Xiangdong glanced at her, and seeing her nodding with a bright smile, he shook his head decisively and refused, "No, the car is not mine, I can't make the decision, you should carry it yourself."
Gou Lijuan's smile was frozen on her face. She wanted to curse but was afraid of getting beaten up in this desolate mountain area, so she had to hold her anger and walk away. In her heart, she added Zhao Xiangdong to the list of people she cursed.
Xu Hongxia watched everything from the side and not only did not help, but also laughed at her, making Gou Lijuan really want to throw away the luggage in her hands. However, when she thought about the future of her son and daughter in her hands, she could only be a turtle and endure it.
Zhao Xiangdong took a quick glance and secretly laughed in his heart.
You deserve it for bullying Xingzhou.
