"Let's all sit down." Yu Jiahui said to Song Cenyue and others. The other passengers who had come to watch the fun had already returned to their seats.

After Song Cenyue, He Xiaolu and Xu Xiaopeng nodded, they sat back in their seats with Yu Jiahui.

"Do you want some candy? I have some White Rabbit milk candies here." Xu Xiaopeng suddenly looked like he remembered something. He reached into his trouser pocket and took out a few White Rabbit milk candies. He put one in front of each of Song Cenyue, He Xiaolu, and his cousin, then he kept one, unwrapped it, and threw it into his own mouth.

"It's the White Rabbit Milk Candy. The White Rabbit Milk Candy is so delicious." When He Xiaolu saw the White Rabbit Milk Candy, her eyes lit up. She reached out eagerly to take the White Rabbit Milk Candy in front of her, opened the candy wrapper, took out the milk candy and put it in her mouth.

Mmm, it's delicious! This toffee tastes so good!

He Xiaolu has always liked eating sweets, especially White Rabbit milk candy. Unfortunately, her family is not well off. White Rabbit milk candy is the most expensive of all candies. She doesn't have money to eat it often, which makes her very craving for White Rabbit milk candy.

Now when I suddenly see White Rabbit Milk Candy, I am naturally very happy, a little anxious, a little carried away, and not afraid of being laughed at.

Song Cenyue and Yu Jiahui's cousins ​​were both considerate and did not laugh at He Xiaolu. Song Cenyue picked up the White Rabbit milk candy in front of her and opened it to eat, thinking that seeing that He Xiaolu obviously liked the White Rabbit milk candy very much, she could find an opportunity to take out the White Rabbit milk candy that she had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative and treat her to a few.

Of course, we also have to give some points to Yu Jiahui's cousins. After all, they have always been very friendly and helped her out of kindness before.

Nothing happened afterwards, but there were a lot of educated youth in the same carriage, each of them very representative of that era, full of fighting spirit, passion, and they liked to sing red songs.

"Comrades, let's sing a song!" A female educated youth stood up and said, and then she took the lead in singing: "The people's commune is good, the people's commune is good! We poor and lower-middle peasants are determined to follow the revolutionary path pointed out by the Chairman..."

"We, the poor and lower-middle peasants, are determined to make our journey! One big and two public, collectivization, we will persist to the end and never waver..." Xu Xiaopeng showed excitement on his face, and immediately opened his mouth to sing along.

"Generation after generation has made new revolutionary contributions, and the red flags are flying everywhere..." Immediately, other educated youth were inspired and started singing along. Soon, many educated youth in the carriage started singing along.

"The Chairman's thoughts are in command, and the Chinese people are full of fighting spirit..." He Xiaolu and Yu Jiahui actually started singing along.

"Following the Chairman's revolutionary line, we run towards the goal of communism..." Everyone in the carriage started singing, even the passengers who were not educated youth were infected and started singing along, except Song Cenyue who did not open her mouth to sing along.

Song Cenyue found that someone noticed that she was the only one in the carriage who didn't sing along, and was looking at her, which made her feel a little pressured.

I feel like I have to sing along, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be treated as an outsider. The most important thing is that I'm afraid if I don't sing along, it would be bad if someone thinks I have opinions about the song and doesn't think so, and puts labels on me. I heard that people are often put on the spot and get into big trouble at times like this.

Fortunately, I have some impression of this song. I remember it. It's like "People's Commune is Good", one of the popular red songs of this era. I remember the lyrics...

The lyrics to be sung next are...

"Together we are running towards the goal of communism... The people's commune is good, one big and two public, collectivization, persist to the end and never waver... Revolutionaries of every generation learn from Yugong, and let the red flag fly everywhere..." Song Cenyue opened his mouth and started singing.

"Comrade Song, you sing so well, your voice is so beautiful..." He Xiaolu showed a surprised expression and called to Song Cenyue.

"Comrade Song, you sing really well, your voice is so beautiful! I didn't expect you to be such a good singer!" Xu Xiaopeng also showed an astonished expression and praised loudly, staring at Song Cenyue with admiration in his eyes, and it was obvious that he liked Song Cenyue more.

"Comrade Song, you have a really good voice. You sing really well! Your voice is so beautiful!" Yu Jiahui also praised highly.

Others followed suit and praised Song Cenyue. Some even praised her so much that she felt embarrassed. She felt shy for the first time. "You are too kind."

There have never been so many people praising her before... But her voice is really good, her singing is clear, melodious and very pleasant to listen to, like the sound of nature. Even though she was just singing casually without any skills, it still sounded beautiful, pleasant, and even charming.

"Comrade Song, you sing so beautifully, why don't you give us a solo of 'Sesame Blossoms Higher and Higher'? What do you think?" The female educated youth who took the lead in singing suggested enthusiastically to Song Cenyue.

"Okay! This is great. Comrade Song, please give us a solo of "Sesame Blossoms Higher and Higher"!" Xu Xiaopeng nodded twice with excitement and immediately agreed.

Others followed suit and asked Song Cenyue to sing, but Song Cenyue waved her hands and said, "I can't do that. I don't know how to sing 'Sesame Blossoms Higher and Higher'. I don't even know the lyrics. I can't sing it..."

"I think this comrade sings very well, and she obviously knows how to sing 'The Sesame Blossoms Higher and Higher'. Let's ask her to sing it for all of us!" She pointed at the female educated youth who was to perform a solo and also designated a song, and then she applauded her.

The person sitting next to the female educated youth, who seemed to be her companion, also asked her to sing and applauded her. Seeing this, several other people who liked to make trouble also applauded her and asked her to sing.

"Since everyone wants to hear me sing so much, I'll show off my skills and sing a song for everyone," said the female educated youth with a smile.

Seeing that she agreed to sing, a hint of disappointment flashed across Xu Xiaopeng's eyes. Rather than listening to her sing, he wanted to listen to the goddess in front of him, Song Cenyue, sing. He felt that Song Cenyue's singing voice was better than hers.

But such words, of course, cannot be said out loud.

"The people's commune has beautiful scenery, with terraces winding around the mountainside, grain as golden as a mountain and cotton as vast as an ocean... The red flag of Dazhai is flying everywhere. The Chairman is leading well, the light of the Party shines in our hearts, and the members' lives are so happy... Just like the sesame blossoms, the sesame blossoms grow higher and higher..."

The female educated youth sang loudly. Her voice was high and full of passion, which was very contagious. Several educated youths followed her.

Song Cenyue looked at them, thinking about what they were singing, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Alas...

Judging from their appearance, it is obvious that they do not know the real situation of the commune. They think that the commune is as good as the songs say, with mountains of grain and seas of cotton, and bumper harvests...

But in fact, according to the news I have seen in modern times, as well as TV dramas and newspapers, crops in this era often have poor harvests because of the lack of fertilizers, pesticides and other pesticides. Therefore, many farmers grow their own food but cannot get enough to eat, and some people even starve to death.

Should we make this known to them, tell them, and give them a shot of inoculation so that they can understand the true situation of the so-called communes and production teams and be mentally prepared so that they will not be disappointed or even despair afterwards?

But what if they don't believe it and even accuse me of deliberately discrediting the commune and production team, saying that I have opinions about them and oppose the existence of the commune and production team?

"Um... do you know the situation in the countryside? Do you know what the real situation of the communes and production teams is like? My cousin who went to the countryside two years ago wrote to me and said that the situation in the countryside is not as good as advertised. The communes and production teams are actually quite poor. The grain harvest is poor every year, and the team members live a very difficult life."

Just as Song Cenyue was hesitating, she suddenly heard someone speak boldly. She looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was a male educated youth.

Everyone looked at the male educated youth. There was a hint of nervousness on his face and panic in his eyes.

"I know!" said the female educated youth who sang "Sesame Blossoms Higher and Higher" earlier, and everyone in the carriage looked at her.

"My father used to work in the countryside. He used to be the director of a commune. Because of him, I stayed in the countryside for two years and I know what the countryside is like. I know that the communes and production teams are not as good as advertised. In fact, the communes and production teams are quite poor. The harvest was poor every year and the team members lived a very difficult life..." said the female educated youth.

"But my father said that it is because the countryside is poor and the communes and production teams are not as good as advertised that we need to go to the countryside to help the farmers build, accept the challenges of poverty, and lead the farmers to become rich. The countryside really needs young people like us who are knowledgeable and cultured...

And my dad said that we young people should endure more hardships while we are young, which can hone ourselves well. We need to step out of the ivory tower and know what the outside world is like, especially what the vast rural areas of our country are like. At least we can know what crops are like and how the rice we eat is grown...

Isn’t there a slogan encouraging educated youth to go to the countryside, which goes: Step out of the ivory tower, go to the grassroots, and let educated youth go to the countryside!

Many of my classmates don't know how rice is grown, and don't know what rice looks like. I think they should go to the countryside to see, become farmers, and learn how rice is grown and what rice looks like. What do you think? "Guo Meiqi continued, smiling at everyone as she said the last sentence.

"Well said! This lady comrade said it very well... You are right! Your father is right too! It is because the countryside is poor, the countryside is hard, and the farmers live in poverty that we need to help them build the countryside and bring them wealth. We can also train ourselves and learn from the farmers...

Didn’t the Chairman say that educated youth really need to go to the countryside and receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants? We should learn from the poor and lower-middle peasants.” A male educated youth said loudly, standing up and clapping, and the others followed suit, with several of them looking excited.

"Just like that female comrade said, we eat rice every day, so we should at least learn how to grow rice from our fellow farmers, know how rice is grown, and understand what rice looks like! Don't always be ignorant of what rice looks like and how it is grown." Another male educated youth stood up and said while clapping.

Many educated youth nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere was very good.

"In fact, no matter how hard life is in the countryside, no matter how difficult it is for educated youth to go to the countryside, our revolutionary martyrs suffered more. The revolutionary martyrs had a hard time. Back then, the revolutionary martyrs made a 25,000-mile Long March, climbing snow-capped mountains, crossing grasslands, with little food and water, and with pursuers behind them. That was the real hardship, the real difficulty...

How many revolutionary martyrs died along the way, but did they give up? No. Did they retreat? No. They continued to advance and struggle for our country and our nation, sacrificing their lives and blood. Only then did they save our country and our nation, and let us have what we have today!

We should learn from the revolutionary martyrs and not be afraid of hardship or difficulties. The harder and more difficult it is, the more we should face it head-on and work hard to help farmers build the countryside and help them get rich. Only in this way can we make our journey to the countryside worthwhile!" A male educated youth wearing glasses and looking gentle and refined stood up and said.

"Tang Hanwen, what you said was very good and absolutely right! Let's applaud him!" Guo Meiqi obviously knew the male educated youth and liked him. A hint of admiration flashed across her eyes. She praised him and applauded.

The others immediately applauded, and many people praised Tang Hanwen.

Song Cenyue also clapped her hands twice and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

I wonder if they will still think this way after they arrive at the place where they are sent to work in the fields every day, and do not have enough to eat, and live a hard life for a while.

But it’s good that they have such ideas now!

It would be better if you can still think this way after you have been sent to the countryside to work, work in the fields every day, and not have enough to eat, and live a hard life for a while.
