Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

The car bumped along the road for more than five hours and finally arrived at Fengrao County at six o'clock in the evening, and took them directly to the temporary reception center for educated youth going to the countryside.

The educated youth were all covered in dust and dirt, and their mouths were full of dirt. It was hot, and their faces were covered in sweat. When the dirt was blown away, they all became little clay figures.

Jiang Yan and Dong Shuang were in better condition than others. The scarves they bought on a whim came in handy at the critical moment.

We haven't eaten for several hours, and we are all starving.

"Comrade, can we eat first?"

"Yeah, I'm really hungry."

The people in the Youth League Office quickly organized themselves and said, "Everyone, listen to me. Listen to me first."

The educated youth all fell silent.

The staff member first checked the time, and then said, "Comrades, welcome to Fengrao County."

Although everyone was listless, they all clapped their hands out of respect.

After the applause, the staff member continued: "Our Fengrao County has eight towns, seven townships, and three ethnic townships under its jurisdiction. You are all good comrades from all corners of the country, and you are about to devote yourself to the construction of the countryside, give full play to your strengths, and shed your sweat on the rural land..."

This guy was probably addicted to public speaking. He chattered on and on for a long time, and the educated youths all showed impatient expressions on their faces.

It is not the 1960s anymore. Everyone knows what going to the countryside is all about. No matter how much he talks, who would be willing to go to the countryside to suffer unless it is absolutely necessary?

"Finally, I wish you all a bright future."

As the staff of the Youth League Office looked forward to it, sparse applause broke out.

"Okay, okay, comrades..." He looked down at the time again and said, "It's too late today. Some communes are too far away from the county. It takes several hours to go back and forth. It's not safe to walk at night. Today, we will arrange for everyone to stay in the county for one night. Tomorrow, when you get up early, the leaders of each commune will come to pick you up."

Dong Shuang approached Jiang Yan and whispered, "You've been talking nonsense for a long time."

Jiang Yan smiled but said nothing.

"Our comrades will take you to the guesthouse to rest. Everyone, take your belongings and follow Xiao Hu."

The crowd became agitated. Jiang Yan and Dong Shuang picked up their belongings and followed the team, coming out of the courtyard of the temporary reception office of the Youth League Office. They walked about 300 meters before reaching the main street.

By the time we arrived at the guesthouse, everyone's legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and were too heavy to lift.

The guesthouse only had four floors. The female educated youth lived on the second floor, and the male educated youth lived on the first floor. The standard of this guesthouse was not high. The educated youth lived in a large room that was made by connecting and merging several rooms. There were simple wooden beds inside.

"Why is it a dormitory bed?" Xiao Yan finally entered the room and was dumbfounded when she saw the environment.

"It's good to have a big bunk bed, it's free." A girl wearing glasses was selected as the temporary team leader of the female educated youth. "I just asked, there are single rooms, 2.8 yuan a night, and luxury suites, which have hot water and can take a shower, cost more than ten yuan a night."

Xiao Yan couldn't bear to stay in such an expensive room, even if it was a single room that cost 2.8 yuan a night. Her family was not well off, so they only prepared some food and daily necessities for her, cotton-padded clothes and quilts, but no money or coupons.

Even the more than 200 yuan subsidy for going to the countryside, half of which was taken away by her family, leaving her with only 100 yuan.

This time when she went to the countryside, Xiao Yan had only 120 yuan in total on her, and the 20 yuan she had saved secretly over the years.

There were only a few tickets, and she didn't know how long she would stay in the countryside, so she tried to save as much as possible.

"Captain, I'm just saying that. I don't mean anything else."

The girl pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose and said meaningfully: "You'd better." Along the way, she had seen Xiao Yan's mischief, but she would not get involved in things that had nothing to do with her. But now she is a member of the team, and if Xiao Yan dares to act like a demon again, she doesn't mind dealing with her.

Xiao Yan dragged her luggage into the room, found a place to put it, and quickly occupied a bed.

Jiang Yan had few things, so she quickly helped Dong Shuang put them away.

"It's 6:40 now. I just asked, the guesthouse closes at 8:30. The state-owned restaurant is still open at this time, but the supply and marketing cooperative is closed. Everyone, try not to go out unless necessary. If you have to go out, be back before 8:30 at the latest."

"it is good."

"understood."

Dong Shuang poked Jiang Yan and said, "I'm so hungry, let's go out for dinner."

"Okay." The two men took their valuables with them and hurried downstairs.

When they reached the first floor, Jiang Yan asked the waiter of the guesthouse about the location of the state-owned restaurant and casually stuffed two White Rabbit milk candies into his hand.

"Wow." The older sister's eyes lit up and she praised Jiang Yan for being sensible. This candy was not cheap, so it was just right to take it home and sweeten the child's mouth.

"Turn left and you'll see it in less than a hundred meters. It's dinner time now, so you need to hurry. If you're late, you'll have to wait for a long time."

"Okay, thank you, eldest sister."

The two of them left the guesthouse and headed straight for the state-owned restaurant. They were lucky as there were still seats available in the restaurant when they arrived. Jiang Yan was responsible for reserving the seats, and Dong Shuang was responsible for buying the food.

Dong Shuang always remembered the meal in the train dining car. She was not the type to take advantage of others. She knew that the best way to interact with friends was to give and take, and to reciprocate. Otherwise, even the best friendship would be difficult to maintain.

What's more, Jiang Yan also gave her a gauze scarf, so this meal should be her treat.

Dong Shuang bought two bowls of noodle soup, two sesame cakes, and a plate of pork head sprinkled with chili oil, which tasted delicious.

"I also bought four sesame cakes. We don't have to leave early tomorrow. We might not have food to eat. But we have sesame cakes and water, so we won't be hungry."

After saying this, Dong Shuang laughed smugly.

Jiang Yan gave her a thumbs up and said, "Eat quickly, or the guesthouse will be closed if you're late."

Dong Shuang nodded. She was really hungry and felt like she could eat a whole cow.

One after another, more educated youth came to eat, but since they were not familiar with each other, they just nodded and said hello.

After finishing their meal, the two men took the sesame cakes and left the restaurant, preparing to return to the guesthouse.

Two people also followed out. They walked very fast and caught up with Jiang Yan and Dong Shuang in no time, blocking their way.

It was not yet dark, and people could still be seen on the street. Jiang Yan was not afraid at all. Although Dong Shuang was unsure, he was not scared either. Instead, he loudly asked them, "What do you want to do?"

The slightly taller man quickly said, "Don't be afraid, sister. We are not bad people."

"Yes, we are not bad people." The shorter man also said, "Keep your voice down, we just want to ask if you want the goods."

Dong Shuang pulled Jiang Yan away, "Goods? What goods? We don't want to buy anything."

Jiang Yan thought, could it be that the things on the black market are now unsalable? Why did two people come to solicit customers?
