Bringing space to the countryside, others eat bran while I eat meat

Soon Shen Ning gave a statement at the local police station. Because the case involved so many children and spanned multiple provinces, it received great attention.

The Jilin Provincial Public Security Bureau had been tracking down the suspect for a long time, but Zhou Laosan and Wang Ge's gang moved from place to place, and had a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness. They didn't expect that this time they would be caught by a young educated youth who looked weak and unable to take care of himself...

The director of the Public Security Bureau of Jilin Province looked at Shen Ning with admiration and patted Shen Ning's shoulder heavily with his big, thick palm, as big as a bear's paw.

"Well done, young comrade. Using yourself as bait is really remarkable for your courage and strategy!

Don't worry, wait until the case is completely closed. I will personally write a letter of praise to your team and present a silk banner to your team!"

Shen Ning's frail body grimaced when he was patted on the face, but when he heard there was a reward, he instantly perked up, smiling with curved eyebrows like a little fox who had gotten an advantage.

In this age where reputation and honor are very important, receiving a banner and letter of praise personally sent by the superiors is not only a reward for the individual, but also an honor for the entire brigade. It will even be included in the assessment bonus points when selecting advanced brigades at the end of the year.

But he said modestly, "You are too kind. Fighting against illegal and criminal activities is the duty of every citizen."

Gu Changgeng looked at her smug little look, his thin lips curled up slightly, and a smile unconsciously appeared in the corners of his eyes, but he soon returned to his usual cold expression.

……

When the train finally arrived in Heilongjiang Province, He Dazhi, the team leader of Hejia Village in Hongqi Commune, was already waiting at the station entrance to pick people up.

As soon as we got off the train, He Dazhi, the team leader of Hejia Village, raised his eyelids and said in a nonchalant manner, "It's cold at night, put on your coats, this is the weather in Heilongjiang Province, you will get used to it slowly."

Fang Heng didn't pay attention to what He Dazhi was saying. He searched the sparse crowd, "Why haven't I seen Comrade Shen Ning yet..."

Strangely enough, he looked for her several times in the carriage these two days but didn't see her. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could she have met with an accident?

The educated youth who were going to other communes had already taken their names and left on tractors or on foot. The team leader He Dazhi and the other educated youth who came to pick them up were also waiting impatiently.

He Dazhi was also dissatisfied that he had delayed so many things in order to help a greenhorn who knew nothing.

Seeing that most people at the train station had left, he couldn't help but speak up, "What's going on? Didn't you all come together? Why is there one person missing? Where are you?"

Sun Miao was also a little panicked. If this matter was really discussed, it had nothing to do with her.

In order to clear herself, she pretended to be calm and said, "Comrade Shen Ning has always been spoiled and has never suffered. She has told me several times before that she doesn't want to go to the countryside. Maybe she was afraid that studying agricultural education would be too hard, so she ran away halfway..."

"Don't talk nonsense, Shen Ning is not that kind of person."

Fang Heng had been dissatisfied with what Sun Miao had done before, and at this moment she felt even more disgusted. She was making random guesses about her comrade without any reason. Didn't she know how much trouble these remarks would bring to Comrade Shen Ning?

“Did they encounter human traffickers?”

Jiang Yuanyuan spoke with some worry, "My mother told me before I left that I must follow the main group and never be alone. Human traffickers specifically target young girls who are alone, and Shen Zhiqing is pretty..."

As soon as the words fell, the impatience on everyone's faces disappeared instantly, and their expressions became somewhat solemn.

He Dazhi tapped the pipe in his hand, his eyes became sharp, and he looked at Fang Heng with dissatisfaction, "How do you lead the team? How can you let that female comrade be left alone? What if an accident really happens?"

Each of them was a worry. Seeing that it was getting late, He Dazhi became more and more melancholy. He didn't like these educated youth from the city. They were all pretentious and troublesome, with high expectations but poor skills. They couldn't even do their jobs properly, and they had to share the village's food rations...

With a sigh, everyone couldn't just stay here forever. After hesitating for a while, they said, "Okay, Fang... Fang Heng, you and Er Qiangzi stay here to get information. If you can't find them, call the police. I'll take these people back to the village to settle down..."

The tractor rumbled along the country road. Although it was only September, the nights in Heilongjiang Province were already chilly.

Several young educated youth wrapped their coats tightly and when they opened their mouths, they were filled with mouthfuls of dust. After more than an hour of bumpy ride, the group finally arrived at Hejia Village. The team leader tapped his pipe and drove everyone out of the car.

"Take your luggage and walk along the path for another half an hour to reach the educated youth point. Go to bed early tonight and gather at the grain drying factory early tomorrow morning. The autumn harvest will be coming soon..."

Sun Miao's face turned green. From what the team leader said, he wouldn't be allowed to rest for a single day and would have to arrange work for him tomorrow.

He looked at his luggage again, two full snakeskin bags and a large backpack, and raised his voice by eight octaves, "Walk over? Are you kidding? We are carrying luggage with us?"

He Dazhi glanced at her impatiently, then looked at the sky. He was in a hurry to return the tractor, so he didn't have time to waste with these people. "Oh, then you can make two more trips, or go to the educated youth camp to find someone to help you."

Sun Miao wanted to say something, but He Dazhi had already started the tractor again. The only response she got was the thick black smoke and the "thump thump" noise coming out of the tractor.

Seeing that the captain really had no intention of taking care of them, the educated youths sighed, picked up their luggage, and walked towards the educated youth point with one foot deep and one foot shallow...

.......

After much difficulty, they finally reached the educated youth site. When they saw two small courtyards closely adjacent to each other, with sparse fences and dilapidated tiled houses, everyone looked unhappy.

Although I had known for a long time that conditions in the countryside were not good and had prepared myself mentally for hardship and suffering, the shock was far less than seeing it with my own eyes.

The old educated youth in the yard came out to greet them, two men and one woman, and the expressions they gave everyone showed both rejection and a sense of sympathy and intimacy.

"You are all new comrades, come in quickly. The male educated youth live in the left yard, and the female educated youth live on the right. It's getting late, and there is still some hot water on the stove. Hurry up and get ready for bed. We can talk tomorrow morning if there is anything else..."

The person who spoke was Chen Jiefang, the eldest brother of the educated youth point. He had been in Hejia Village for nearly four years and was used to the crying expressions of these educated youth. He gave a few instructions and turned back to the house.

This is just the beginning. There will be many more days when I want to cry...
