Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Go home... Gu Nuanyi raised her lips, home!!! I didn't expect that I could have a home in this strange place...

The oxcart was moving slowly. Gu Nuanyi was not in a hurry. She sat on the oxcart and looked at the surrounding scenery. Her heart gradually calmed down.

Gu Zhigao said proudly: "Our Qingshan Commune has a vast area and a sparse population. As long as we work hard and are diligent, we can fill our stomachs. Moreover, our Second Brigade is backed by a mountain and there is a river in front of it. We really live off the mountain and the water. After the autumn harvest, we go up the mountain to pick wild fruits, and before winter we go to the river to fish. I don't know about other places, but no one has starved to death in our Second Commune."

Gu Nuanyi nodded: "Our second team is really great!!!"

Master Gu also nodded: "That's right, Nuan Yi, you can stay here with peace of mind when you come back. Let the team leader arrange some light work for you. We can talk about other things after you get well. You don't have to worry about food. Since your household registration has been transferred back to our second team, you can get per capita rations before the New Year. In addition, if you earn work points, you can also exchange them for some food, or exchange them for money."

"Master Gu, how much is one work point?"

"One work point is 6 cents. In our team, men and women are equal. As long as you finish the work assigned to you, that's 10 work points, which is 6 cents a day, 18 yuan a month, and a year..." Master Gu was a little confused.

Gu Nuanyi continued: "That's 216 yuan a year."

"Yes, yes, you educated people are smarter. This is just for one person. If the whole family works hard, after exchanging the food, each family can get an extra 300 to 400 yuan. They all say that the city is better, but I, an old man, still think that our countryside is better! We don't have to spend money on vegetables and water."

Gu Zhigao: "But Master Gu, people in the city get paid when they work, and their units also give out welfare vouchers. We can't get those vouchers in the brigade, otherwise why would so many people be so eager to go to the city?"

Gu Nuanyi: "Comrade Zhigao, although you get a salary and receipts from your company when you work in the city, you have to spend money to do anything in the city. Even if you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a scallion, you have to spend money. Moreover, the houses allocated by the company are not too big, and the whole family is crowded together. If there are many children, they can't even have their own room. Moreover, most of the time, one person works and supports the whole family. Eating wowo pickles is the norm."

The sound of the tractor startled the three people who were chatting.

Gu Nuanyi turned her head and looked at the speeding tractor with wide eyes. She subconsciously touched her butt. Her butt must be shaking after sitting all the way...

Gu Zhigao explained: "That is also the tractor of our brigade. If we didn't have so many educated youth to pick up this time, we would not be willing to drive it out. Usually we go to the commune by ox cart, and it only takes 40 minutes to get there by ox cart."

On the other side, the educated youth sitting on the speeding tractor also saw the ox cart

Female educated youth Xu Hongying saw two people sitting on the oxcart with a lot of luggage beside them: "Fortunately we were assigned to the second brigade, where we can use tractors. Look, there are still people riding oxcarts."

The female educated youth Yao Shu moved: "The tractor is good, but it's a bit shaking on the butt."

Male educated youth Feng Shan: "Be content with the tractor you have. Some teams have to walk back behind ox carts. It's okay with the bumps, but it's better than walking."

The male educated youth Qin Zeming also said: "Having a tractor means that the life of the Second Brigade is not bad. As far as I know, not all brigades can apply for tractors."

The tractor soon brought 11 educated youths to the second brigade.

The women who were working heard the sound of the tractor and immediately looked up and asked, "Is that the little girl Nuan Yi here?"

The captain's wife Xu Xiumei said: "The tractor is the educated youth we picked up."

"Hey, why are there another educated youth here?"

"There's nothing I can do. It's a rule from above. I don't know how many people will come this time. I hope some of them can do the work."

When they heard the tuk-tuk-tuk sound stop, the aunties who loved to join in the fun immediately ran to the side of the road and saw 11 educated youth getting off the car.

"Wow, there are so many educated youth here this time."

"Five girls and six boys. Oh, the captain is going to be worried again~~~"

"The educated youth who went to the countryside have money anyway, so if they don't have food to eat, they can just buy food. It's just right that we can get more money for the people in our brigade at the end of the year."

"makes sense"

The educated youth helped each other get their luggage off the tractor. Some of them were not used to being watched by so many women and quietly retreated to the back, but there were also some strong people who directly waved and said hello.

Feng Shan was one of the representatives. He smiled heartily: "Hello, ladies! We are educated youths who came to the countryside..."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Since the other person has taken the initiative to greet you with a smile, those ladies should not stand there and gossip.

"This male educated youth is really generous, the others didn't even say a word."

"What's the use of just talking? You have to see if you can do the work."

The team leader Gu Qianjin patted his hands and said, "Let's all go to work."

The captain's wife, Xu Xiumei, asked, "Old Gu, why hasn't the warmth arrived yet?"

"It's on the ox cart. We'll be there soon."

Xu Xiumei nodded: "Well, I'll wait here for a while, and you can bring a few people to help tidy up the yard later."

Gu Qianjin: "I will send the educated youth to the educated youth center and leave"

The 11 educated youths looked at each other.

Xu Hongying whispered: "We didn't see the educated youth named Nuan Yi on the train either."

Ji Shaoming: "Then it is possible that he is not an educated youth. Let's settle ourselves down first and then find out other things!!!"

The 11 educated youths nodded, carried their own luggage and followed Gu Qianjin to the educated youths’ station.

Gu Qianjin called back Du Jiang, the person in charge of the educated youth camp: "He is the person in charge of the educated youth camp. Du Jiang, you can arrange their accommodation! We can still borrow food from the brigade headquarters!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry

Yao Shu: "The captain is leaving now?"

Du Jiang: "Hello, I'm Du Jiang. I'll take you to your accommodation first. Put your luggage down first and we'll talk about what happens next. Male educated youth will live on the left, and female educated youth will live on the right..."

Master Gu drove his ox cart and swayed into the second brigade.

The aunt shouted loudly: "Second Master Gu is back!!!"

Xu Xiumei quickly came to the ox cart and said with a smile on her face, "Nuanyi, right? I am the wife of the team leader Gu Qianjin. You can just call me Aunt Xiumei. Come on, we are home, come down!"

Gu Nuanyi smiled and got off the ox cart with the help of Xu Xiumei: "Thank you, Aunt Xiumei"
