Surprise! Traveling through the book and going to the countryside, eating melons and watching plays
Chapter 8 Only one person and one piece of luggage can be boarded
Zhang Weiguo had been traveling for several days in a row, carrying a large amount of luggage on his shoulders and in his hands. His steps became heavier and heavier after walking for a while, but for the sake of his pitiful face, he gritted his teeth and finally shouted.
"Uncle Village Chief, please stop the car and wait for me."
The village chief and the cart driver continued walking forward as if they didn't hear anything. Seeing this, Zhang Weiguo hardened his heart and didn't care about his face anymore. He dropped his bag and ran to the front of the ox cart to stop it from going any further.
"What's wrong with you? Are you trying to save your life? Aren't you afraid that we won't be able to stop the cow and it will push you out?" The village chief and the old man were busy pulling the reins to stop the cow. The village chief stared at Zhang Weiguo and said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I really can't carry the luggage. Can I put it up there?"
"Then ask that female comrade to come down. Anyway, only one of the luggage and the person can be left behind."
Zhang Weiguo looked at Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan had a look of aggrieved and weak expression on her face, as if she would burst into tears the next second as soon as he said that. He had no choice but to look at Shen Xiyan again.
"Shen Zhiqing, why don't you come down and walk for a while? There are three of us taking turns sitting here, so it's time for the next person to take over. This will give Zhang Yan a chance to sit for a while longer."
"Did I agree? You are making your own decisions. Even if Shen Zhiqing comes down, I will sit there. How can it be her turn?" Lin Ru said to Zhang Weiguo unhappily.
"you……"
"Okay, Zhang Zhiqing, I'll help you carry your luggage. We'll be there in a little while."
Jiang Chenxi pulled Zhang Weiguo to where he put his luggage. After someone shared the burden, Zhang Weiguo didn't say much, but looked at Lin Ru with some indignation, wondering why this cute girl who looked so soft and tender could be so selfish, overbearing and unreasonable!
Zhang Yan sat there all the way with peace of mind. Lin Ru and Shen Xiyan took turns sitting there, which was fine. However, Zhang Weiguo and Jiang Chenxi were anxious and followed the ox cart with sweat all over their faces.
You know, although it was already October, the weather was still very hot at noon. The two of them walked for more than an hour before they reached Wangjiatun.
When they arrived outside the educated youth center, the village chief called out, "Wang Zhiqing, the new educated youth have been brought back. Please help settle them down."
"By the way, you guys go to the brigade headquarters this afternoon to collect this month's food rations. This is loaned to you by the team first, and you will pay it back at the end of the year after you start working with your work points. You can take a day off tomorrow, and you can go to the county town to buy anything you need, and then go to work with everyone the day after tomorrow morning," added the village chief.
"Village Chief Wang, you go and do your work. Leave this to me!" Upon hearing the voice, a tall and thin man with a scholarly air came out.
"My name is Wang Zixuan. I'm the person in charge of the educated youth site. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me." He then helped to move the luggage off the ox cart.
After the village chief and the old man saw that all the luggage had been moved down, they drove away.
"Everyone else at the educated youth site has gone to work. I'll come back at noon and introduce you to each other. On the left is where the female comrades live, with three people living there now. On the right is where the male comrades live, with two of us living there including me. That small room is the kitchen, and that shed is for storing firewood. This vegetable patch was planted by us old educated youth together, and you can exchange with us if you want to eat. There's also a cellar in the yard for storing vegetables for the winter. We also have convenient access to water, with a well in the yard. These are the basics, and you can ask me if you have any questions." Wang Zixuan helped carry the luggage and introduced as he walked.
"This is the girls' dormitory. You can just go in. There are kangs for sleeping here. You can arrange your own positions and you will know after you go in and take a look."
"Comrade, come with me. I know that new educated youth are coming, so I have specially cleaned the place in advance. You just need to tidy up a little and you can move in."
Zhang Weiguo was so tired that he didn't care whether it was dirty or not. He reluctantly put his luggage into the room and sat down on the kang to rest. Although Jiang Chenxi was also tired, he still said thank you first, then found a stool in the room and sat down.
After Lin Ru and the others entered the room, they saw a large kang. A straw mat was laid at the head of the kang and a kang cabinet was placed there. The rest of the space was empty. The empty space looked quite clean, probably because someone had cleaned it in advance.
"I'll choose this place. I like being close to the window. It feels bright."
Zhang Yan looked at the remaining seats and quickly chose one near the window. After seeing this, Lin Ru secretly gloated in her heart and said, "Guess why they didn't choose this seat? Don't they know that the air near the window is good and the sunlight is plenty?
That's because it's cold in the Northeast in winter, and there's no double-glazed glass now, so the north wind blowing in is enough to make you feel uncomfortable, and the sun shining in in summer is enough to heat you to death.
Lin Ru didn't want to sleep next to Zhang Yan, so she chose the end of the kang, and Shen Xiyan slept between them. They wiped the kang with a rag, thinking that they would have to go to the village to change the straw mat and kang cabinet. Shen Xiyan saw that Lin Ru was a little dazed.
"Lin Zhiqing, do you need help?"
"No, I was thinking of going to the village to exchange for a straw mat, a kang cabinet, a wash basin, etc."
"Is that so? Then I'll go with you later." Shen Xiyan said that she also needed these things.
"Okay, let's go after lunch."
Around noon, the other educated youth came back, and now everyone was there, and everyone introduced themselves to each other.
Among the three female educated youth, the one named Liu Yuanyuan is the most likable. She has a round face and a round body, which matches her name well. She has two dimples when she smiles, which makes her look very cute.
One of them is called Wang Shuxia, who seems to be the image of a caring older sister in the book. She often comforts the heroine when she is sad, and after the heroine moves out, they eat together.
But now they are no longer the images in the book, but real living individuals standing in front of me, so as I get to know them slowly, I will know whether they are like what is written in the book.
The other one is called Zhao Fang, who has big eyes and looks like a smart and capable person.
In addition to Wang Zixuan, the person in charge of the educated youth site, there is another male educated youth named Zhao Cheng, who looks very honest and simple, and does not seem as reassuring as he looks in the book.
The newly arrived educated youth had not yet received the food distributed by the village, so they could only borrow from the old educated youth.
The steamed bread and stir-fried vegetables I had for lunch had such a pure taste. I can’t lose weight actively in modern times, but I can lose weight passively here, woo woo woo…
It seems that I have to speed up to get some seeds. I can go to the county town tomorrow and get some wheat and rice seeds. I also need to get some chicks, ducks and piglets.
A house must be built, otherwise the secret will be easily exposed. By the way, Shen Xiyan built her own house in the book, but no one knows when it was built.
After finally finishing the meal, I went to the village chief's house with Shen Xiyan to ask where I could buy what I wanted.
"Is the village chief's aunt home?" I followed the route I asked for and found the village chief's house. I saw that the door was open, so I thought someone was home.
"I'm at home. Hey, this is the new educated youth who came today. He's so handsome! My last name is Wang, so you can just call me Aunt Wang."
"Hello, Aunt Wang. We just arrived and don't know anything. I would like to ask you where we can exchange for straw mats, kang cabinets, wooden basins and other things?"
As Aunt Wang spoke, she brought out two bowls of water and placed them on the table.
"Aunt Wang, how did you know we wanted to drink water? Thank you!"
As he spoke, Lin Ru took out a pound of brown sugar that he had prepared in advance and put it on the table. Shen Xiyan also hurriedly took out a pound of rock sugar and put it on the table.
Seeing the things on the table, Aunt Wang quickly picked them up and put them back into their hands.
"What are you doing? You are embarrassing your aunt. If your village chief uncle finds out, he will definitely scold me. Take it back now!"
"Aunt Wang, this is the hard work fee for your help in the introduction. It's for you. Even if the village chief knows about it, he can't say anything. Please keep it quickly."
Hearing this, Aunt Wang said no, but her hand unconsciously took the thing back. It was true that supplies were scarce these days, and brown sugar was a rare nutritious product in rural areas.
"You have found the right person. I know our village very well. The best carpenter is Carpenter Sun. But he is a poor man!"
