The next day, when the female educated youth woke up, they saw some of the male educated youth sitting in their seats listlessly, and they knew who was on guard last night.

So, under the leadership of Xia Zhiyan, they asked the awake male educated youth to look after the luggage and went to fetch water. After everyone hurriedly washed up, they helped the male educated youth fill his thermos with hot water.

On the way back to the train, Xia Zhiyan saw that all the female educated youth were there and suggested giving the male educated youth some candy or something to replenish their energy. After all, they had guarded our luggage last night.

Everyone agreed. Although Bai Wanting didn't have any candy, she knew how to be grateful, so she said to Xia Zhiyan:

"Xia Zhiqing, I don't have any candy in my luggage. Can I buy you some? Then it will be easier for you to thank me."

"No need. There are only five male educated youth among us. If each of us gives one candy, it will only be five candies. I'll give you yours!" Xia Zhiyan said after thinking for a moment.

It was indeed my own inconsideration. After all, everyone's conditions were pretty good, so I ignored Bai Wanting's conditions. But Bai Zhiqing's performance just now made me very satisfied. Although his conditions were not very good, he was grateful.

They don't take it for granted that they can't give out candy, and instead thank you when you want to buy some with money. This shows that this person has good character and is worth helping out! (???)

What the eldest sister Xia Zhiqing could think of, the other two female educated youth also thought of and followed suit:

"Yes, yes, it's not a big deal, just a piece of candy. It's okay. We are all a team and we should help each other. If you don't have it, we will help you. Don't take it to heart and don't think too much about it. It's not that you don't want to show your appreciation. As long as the thought is there, that's enough!

Since Xia Zhiqing has decided to help you give candy to the male educated youth this time, let's give them some extra food during dinner later! ??( ? )??

If you really feel bad, you can give us some dried sweet potatoes while we chat later. They are so sweet."

Bai Wanting felt warm at heart as she listened to everyone's responses. Although she envied the other three educated youth, she miraculously didn't feel jealous. She just felt incredibly lucky to have met them.

Although they have good conditions, they are not arrogant or domineering at all, and they also think about themselves. So I must get along well with them and remind myself in my heart that I must never have any inappropriate thoughts.

In this harmonious atmosphere, hot water was successfully delivered to the male educated youth's table, along with a few White Rabbit milk candies.

The male educated youth felt very happy when he saw this. He felt that his hard work of staying up all night to watch over the girl was worth it. He took the candy and put it in his pocket without hesitation. After thanking the female educated youth, he asked her to look after the luggage while the male educated youth went to wash up. Well, since they only needed to wash up and didn't need to get hot water, they returned to their seats very quickly.

When everyone returned to their seats, they saw that some of the male educated youth were catching up on their sleep, so they did not have noisy conversations like yesterday, but just rested quietly.

Lin Sitian thought that from what she had seen so far, these seven people were quite good, both in character and in other ways. It was now 1974, and the Gaokao would only be three years away from its resumption.

Then we will stay at the educated youth point for three years. If they can still maintain their original intentions during these three years, I can also persuade them to read books with me. After all, the restoration of the college entrance examination cannot be said openly, and we can only help them make progress together secretly.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, her consciousness sinking into the space to check the vegetables and fruits she had planted. As expected, the growth speed of the space was fast. The vegetables she had planted had begun to emerge and looked pleasing to the eye.

Vines began to grow around the fruits and vegetables, so he began to work in the space, weeding the vegetable patch and fruits and finding sticks to secure the vines.

In this way, everyone sat in silence until lunchtime, when the male educated youth had almost finished their rest.

Lin Sitian used her shoulder bag to take out two big red apples from the space. These apples were just soaked in spiritual spring water when she was weeding in the space. I hope it will have some effect!

So she distributed the apples to the male educated youth and said, "Wang Zhiqing, you worked hard last night and stayed up all night. The rest you just had should have been just a little sleep. Take these apples and share them. Replenish your energy. This is a little gift from us women. Thank you for your care!"

After saying that, he took out two oranges from his bag and gave them to the female educated youth, saying that they could eat together.

When everyone saw that it was given by the sweet and lovely little girl, they accepted it without much hesitation. The same was true for the female educated youth. The three female educated youth all thought that the girl looked very young.

She was so cute, so I treated her like my own little sister and accepted her, thinking of taking good care of her in the future.

Everyone was happily eating and chatting when a cheerful voice interrupted their conversation: "Hey, we're eating!"

Everyone who heard the sound turned their heads to look at the source of the sound. They found that it was the flight attendant from last night, followed by the two police officers from last night. They all stood up. Looking at the reactions of the crowd, one of the police officers said:

"Don't be so nervous. Eat and drink. Sit down. Your leader, please come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."

After saying this, a person stood out from each side. After seeing them stand out, they said:

"Come with me." He then reassured the others, "Don't worry, it's a good thing. They will be back soon. Have a good meal."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this. The two educated youth leaders also followed the public security comrade who had spoken out of the carriage. The remaining public security comrade and the crew member stayed there and talked to the rest of the people to help them relax and wait for them to come back.

Everyone here was chatting happily, but Xia Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing, who had walked into the exclusive compartment where the crew lived, were still nervous even though they said it was a good thing.

The public security officer took out a silk banner and two certificates from the drawer and said to the two responsible persons in front of him:

"Hello, my last name is Li, you can call me Comrade Li. This is the honor the organization has given you. The two thieves last night were a group, and thanks to your help, we were able to catch their accomplices in other carriages. Therefore, the organization has decided to give the eight of you a collective banner of honor.

This banner is a symbol of your solidarity and mutual assistance, and the certificate is a sign of your courage to act in the face of righteousness, punishing evil and promoting good. I hope you will continue to work hard."

After that, he stuffed the silk banner into Wang Zhiqing's hands and handed the certificate to Xia Zhiqing. After handing over the honors, he took out 50 yuan from his pocket and said to them:

"The organization has learned that the eight of you are all sent to the countryside from the same place. This 50 yuan is a reward for you! In addition, you will be given two bicycle tickets, one for each male and female educated youth, when you arrive at the countryside. This will make it more convenient for you to get around."

After saying this, Officer Li divided the things into two parts, gave 50 yuan to Wang Zhiqing and two bicycle tickets to Xia Zhiqing.

In this way, the two educated youths followed Officer Li back to the carriage in a daze. After seeing Officer Li coming back, the train attendant and another officer said goodbye to him and the rest of the people and left the carriage together.

The two educated youths who were overwhelmed by the surprise were left behind. The first one to react was Wang Zhiqing. Wang Wenxiang excitedly said to everyone:

"This is a collective award given to us by the public security comrades. They hope we will continue to work hard. This silk banner belongs to the eight of us, and there is a certificate of merit for the male educated youth and another for the female educated youth. We will discuss the other awards privately."

After saying this, Wang Wenxiang paused and looked at Xia Zhiqing, while Xia Zhiyan also fell silent. They both nodded silently and said nothing more. After all, bicycle tickets were a scarce commodity, whether in the city or the countryside. It was hard to get one, and mentioning one was a risk of being noticed. And 50 yuan was no small sum.

Everyone was inspired by the banner and two certificates, and cheered. The other passengers in the same train compartment also looked at them with envy. At this time, those who had any thoughts gave up their thoughts. After all, it was an infinite honor, and with the approval of the police, who would dare to mess with them?

After the excitement, it was decided to place the silk banner with Wang Zhiqing, and the certificate was placed in the luggage of Wang Zhiqing and Xia Zhiqing respectively.

While putting away his luggage, Wang Wenxiang took out a pen and paper from his bag and wrote on it:

"There is also a 50 yuan reward and two bicycle tickets. We will share them after we get off the train." He handed the notice to his companions one by one. Although everyone who saw it was very excited, they also knew why Wang Zhiqing did not say it at the time and chose to write it down one by one on paper. So they kept silent about it, but they could not hide the joy on their faces.

After seeing this, Lin Sitian felt much more comfortable about life in the countryside. After all, these were two bicycle tickets awarded by the public security comrades.

In this way, even if we buy a bicycle, others will not make a big fuss even if they are jealous, after all, there are public security comrades behind us.

Furthermore, the commune and the team leader of the Xiangyang Production Brigade will definitely be notified of any awards and medals. Even though the team members may not be there yet, the honor will have reached the team first. The people in the team should be very kind to them. Then, when the time comes, we can give them some credit. You'll have a very leisurely life!
