Traveling through the 60s, living a life of wealth and prosperity

Chapter 143 Settlement
Heilongjiang Province is vast and sparsely populated, so the distance between the commune and the production brigade is not close.
In addition, most of the rural areas in this era were dirt roads, and there were no seats in the back of the tractor.

People and luggage were crammed into the carriage, swaying back and forth as the road bumped.

This kind of road condition can make even people who don’t get carsick feel carsick.

The new educated youth were a group of young people who had not experienced much hardship in the city. They had not washed themselves on the train for several days and their bodies were sore.

When they took the tractor back to the brigade from the commune, the new educated youth vomited out the food they had eaten on the train, along with the stomach acid.

The smell on the body is inevitably a bit strong. Wang Yuanchao has also experienced this and is more involved in these things.

Moreover, these new educated youth were not like time travelers, so their ideas before going to the countryside were inevitably naive.
I thought the rural scenery was infinitely beautiful, so I either went hunting in the mountains or went fishing in the water.
As a result, when everyone went to the countryside, they found that there was no pastoral beauty at all. It was all poor. Even more than half of the people in the Red Flag Brigade lived in blue brick and tile houses.
For these young people coming from big cities, this place is still considered a remote and poor place.

At this time, after experiencing the excitement of traveling far away, the new educated youth arrived at the real countryside. Each of them was like an eggplant hit by frost, listless and dispirited.

Secretary Zeng and the team leader noticed that the newly arrived educated youth were not in good condition, so they walked over and said:

"Hello, fellow educated youths. I am the branch secretary of the Red Flag Brigade. My surname is Zeng.
This is the captain of our Red Flag Brigade.

We welcome all the educated youth to come to our Red Flag Brigade and use their knowledge and abilities to help us build a new socialist countryside. "

After hearing Secretary Zeng's introduction, the new educated youth responded listlessly:

"Thank you for the welcome from the Party Secretary, the Team Leader, and all the rural folks.
There is a vast world in the countryside with great potential.

Since we have signed up to go to the countryside and are determined to take root in the countryside, we will naturally contribute our own strength to the construction of a new countryside."

When Secretary Zeng heard the words of the young man in military uniform, his eyes lit up.
"Well, the country needs ambitious young people like you.
Come, come, this is Comrade Wang Yuanchao, an educated youth from our Hongqi Brigade. He will also be the head of our educated youth site in the future.

Later, Wang Zhiqing will lead you to get familiar with the Zhiqing point and introduce you to the specific situation of our Red Flag Brigade.

I hope that all the educated youth can quickly adjust their mentality and quickly integrate into the life of our Red Flag Brigade."

Secretary Zeng was disappointed when he saw the group of new educated youths who were listless and crooked. They were nothing like Wang Yuanchao when he first arrived at the Red Flag Brigade.

But when I heard the words of this new educated youth in front of me just now, which had the same tone as Wang Yuanchao's, I had more expectations for this group of educated youth.

After Wang Yuanchao saw Secretary Zeng finish introducing himself, he also stood up from Secretary Zeng's side, stood straight, and said to the new educated youth with a smile as if bathed in spring breeze:

"Hello, fellow revolutionary comrades from all over the world,
I am Wang Yuanchao, an educated youth from Hunan Province.

The revolutionary youth have ambitions in all directions, taking root in the countryside and in the frontiers.
Go to the countryside, change the world, and build a new socialist countryside.
The Red Flag Brigade welcomes everyone. Come, take your luggage. I will take you to the Youth League Point and settle you down.

We will hold a welcome party later so we can get to know each other."

After saying that, Wang Yuanchao signaled everyone to pick up their luggage and walk towards the educated youth site.

Wang Yuanchao knew the behavior of the educated youth and would not be as polite to them as Secretary Zeng and the others. He would not pamper them from the beginning and help them carry their luggage.

The new educated youths behind them panicked when they saw Wang Yuanchao, the senior educated youth, turned around and left. They quickly looked for their luggage on the tractor bucket, took it down, put the big and small bags on their backs, and followed Wang Yuanchao to the yard of the educated youth station. The situation of each new educated youth was different. Some of them had less luggage and could just carry it on their backs.

Some educated youth had a lot of luggage, large and small, and it was impossible to move them in one trip.
However, the villagers of the Red Flag Brigade now generally have a good impression of the educated youth, and they have taken the initiative to help these educated youth.

Wang Yuanchao and the other educated youths behind him moved their luggage into the yard and stood in position.

The elegant man said on the steps:

"Comrades, this is the educated youth settlement where you will live from now on.
It is a newly built courtyard of our Hongqi Brigade. Although it is a mud-brick house, it has not been used much, so it is in very good condition.

In the middle of the yard is a public rest area. There is a well for everyone to use water.

On the left side of the yard, there is a room which is the boys' dormitory. There is a big kang in the room, which is convenient for everyone to sleep. The boys can put their luggage in and settle down first.

There is also a room on the right side of the yard, which is the girls' dormitory. It also has a large kang. Girls can put their luggage in it and settle down first.
I will wait for you here for half an hour. After half an hour, we will hold a welcome party together. I will tell you in detail about the situation of our Red Flag Brigade and what our educated youth need to pay attention to.

All right, everyone, hurry up and get settled."

After that, the new educated youth began to settle down in their rooms according to Wang Yuanchao's instructions.

In the men's dormitory, the new educated youth looked at the dusty room and the long, straight, heated kang. Such simple conditions made everyone's faces turn very ugly.
"Brother Jianguo, are we going to live here every day from now on?"

"Hey, Aihua, since we are going to the countryside as educated youth, we must be prepared to endure hardships. It's okay if the conditions are a little tough. Our parents crawled on the grass and slept on graves. At least we have a kang to sleep on.
It doesn’t make sense that children like us from the compound can’t even endure this little hardship.”

"Oh, that's not right, Brother Jianguo, wasn't that Wang Yuanchao also an educated youth?

Why didn’t he sleep at the educated youth camp?

Look, there is no one else's stuff in this room."

"Oh, yes, Aihua, you are still careful.
Aren't we going to the welcome party later? Let's ask Wang Zhiqing later."

"Okay, we just got here, let's get to know the situation here first, and then make plans for the next step."

"Well, we were totally unprepared this time. The old man hurriedly dropped us off in this mountainous area in the northeast. It seems that our family is really in danger this time.

Oh, I hope the old man and the others are okay."

"Brother Jianguo, don't think too much. We have so many old men and comrades in arms from both families, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
After all, it's just a fight for position, it won't cost anyone's life."

"Well, it's hard to say. We should behave ourselves now and not let others find loopholes in us."

"We have all fled to the countryside, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"
