"Lin Jianxue?"
When Liang Bin read the name, he subconsciously raised his eyelids and scanned the crowd.
"Hey."
Liang Bin's gaze fell accurately on the girl who was carrying two large suitcases and standing alone at the edge of the crowd.
The girl just nodded slightly and didn't rush forward like the others.
After Liang Bin read out the last name, he looked up and scanned the area again. There were ten people, not more, not less, just right.
He scratched his hair which was stiffened by dust, and looked at the group of young people in front of him - the men were tall and thin, the women were delicate, and their faces were sallow. They looked like bean sprouts in a greenhouse, which would fall over if the wind blew.
He sighed silently in his heart: [Alas, ten more mouths! Look at these frail little chickens, as clean as steamed buns fresh out of the pot. They are not fit for work at all! They are only here to cause trouble!]
[Children in the city are precious. Can they really use their strength to work in the fields? They cry and scream for their parents, yet the team still provides them with good food and drink.]
However, even if he complained in his heart, as a production team leader, how could he say no to the task imposed by his superiors? He could only hold his nose and accept it.
"Okay, everyone's here!" Liang Bin stuffed the list into his pocket, waved his hand, and nodded towards the Dongfanghong tractor. "Everyone, grab your luggage and get ready to get on! We still have a long way to go!"
As he spoke, he jumped onto the bed behind the tractor first, then turned around and began to help the educated youth move the large and small packages and bedding rolls onto the car.
The male educated youth could still use their own strength, but the female educated youth seemed to be struggling.
Liu Liwen's bedding roll was particularly large, and Zhang Ruichen had to work very hard to help her get it on.
When Lin Jianxue came to see her, Liang Bin paused for a moment because of her two conspicuous large suitcases.
He jumped off the truck and walked in front of Lin Jianxue, his eyes lingering on her for two more seconds.
Having received several groups of educated youth, Liang Bin has some judgment on people.
The female educated youth in front of me was completely different from those other young people who were noisy, confused or excited.
Her appearance was truly eye-catching, the kind of beauty that wouldn't look out of place in a big magazine in town, but what caught his attention even more was her overly quiet temperament.
After four days and nights of bumpy train ride, most of the educated youth looked pale and tired, but apart from a hint of fatigue between her brows, she had clear eyes, stood straight, and exuded an indescribable calmness.
She doesn't look like a young girl who has just graduated and is full of uncertainty about the future. Instead, she looks like... someone who has experienced something.
"Comrade, your suitcases?" Liang Bin withdrew his gaze and pointed at the two suitcases.
Lin Jianxue had already bent down and picked up the handle of a suitcase with one hand, her movements neat and quick.
"Thank you, Captain. I can do it myself." She said calmly.
Liang Bin watched her hand over the two suitcases easily, and then he stood on the truck bed and took them steadily. He was stunned for a moment.
This girl looks thin, but she is quite strong.
Lin Jianxue then stepped on the edge of the tractor and climbed onto the truck bed nimbly.
After she stood firm, she nodded slightly to Liang Bin again: "Thank you for your help, Captain."
After saying that, she did not rush to occupy the relatively comfortable edge position in the truck bed, but walked to her two suitcases, gently patted the dust on the top of the suitcases, and then sat down casually.
The height of the box is just right, so it can be considered a temporary "seat".
The other educated youth also got on the truck one after another. Ten people plus their luggage filled the relatively spacious truck bed.
"Hold on tight! Hold on tight!" Liang Bin shouted, jumped back into the driver's seat, and started the tractor skillfully.
At the beginning, the atmosphere in the truck was quite lively.
Several young educated youth, especially the boys, were full of curiosity about this "communication tool" unique to the countryside and discussed it chatteringly.
But as the tractor drove out of the county town, the surrounding scenery began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The high-rise buildings turned into low bungalows, the asphalt road turned into a bumpy dirt road, and further ahead, there was no decent road at all, only a bumpy gravel road that could barely accommodate cars.
The population on both sides of the road is becoming increasingly sparse, replaced by endless fields that are just beginning to recover.
In early April in northern Xinjiang, the permafrost had just melted, exposing the black soil, which exuded a damp and fresh scent.
In the fields, one can already see some villagers who have gotten up early to work, bent over, apparently turning the soil or raising rice seedlings.
The tractor's shaking became more and more violent, and the educated youth in the truck bed gradually calmed down.
The initial curiosity and excitement were replaced by the all-too-real desolation and simplicity before my eyes.
Looking at the increasingly dilapidated houses and smelling the mixed scent of soil and farm manure in the air, many people showed an expression of surprise and tension that was difficult to conceal on their faces.
Do they really want to take root, live and work here, on such a seemingly barren and desolate land?
Lin Jianxue remained calm throughout.
She sat firmly on her suitcase, letting her body sway with the ups and downs of the tractor.
Her eyes calmly swept across the fields and villages outside the window, without much emotional fluctuation.
These days, it is no longer a new thing for educated youth to go to the countryside.
When the tractor rumbled into the village, the villagers working in the fields just looked up, then lowered their heads and continued to work on their own things.
In their eyes, these kids from the city were just passers-by who added to the burden of the team.
After an unknown amount of time, when the tractor finally slowed down and stopped at a relatively flat and open area at the entrance of the village, the educated youth in the truck bed almost fell apart.
"It's flooded! Shuguang Village is flooded! Get out of the car!" Liang Bin turned off the engine, jumped out of the car, and shouted at the top of his voice.
The educated youths climbed down from the high truck bed with grimace in their eyes as if they had been pardoned, their legs feeling weak when they touched the ground.
Lin Jianxue was the last one.
After sitting in one position for a long time and riding the bumpy road, her waist was a little sore.
She held her aching waist with one hand, slowly stood up and prepared to get off the car.
She stood on the truck bed and glanced around casually.
The entrance to the village is very open, with large tracts of farmland not far away.
Her gaze, inadvertently, gently swayed in the direction of the ridge of the field.
Then, there was a slight pause.
I saw a man and a woman sitting lazily on the edge of a field not far away.
The woman had her back to this side, and her face could not be seen clearly. She seemed to be saying something.
And that guy...
The man was facing sideways towards her, squatting on the edge of the field, holding something yellow in his hand, and stuffing it into his mouth in big mouthfuls.
Um?
Lin Jianxue's gaze fell on the man's broad and slightly thin back.
That man squatting on the ridge of the field eating steamed buns...why does he look...a little familiar?
