The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Suddenly, a slender hand reached over, holding half a tortilla. "It's broken, not dirty."

To be honest, looking back from the perspective of people decades later, this really is not clean in any way.

The man took it out from nowhere, but held it in his hands. He didn't know how long it had been since he washed his hands. At least there wasn't enough water on the train for people to wash their hands. The pancake wasn't very fresh. At least it had been sitting there for a day and a night. In the hot summer, it had a bit of flavor.

But for a person who is thin, has low blood sugar, and has stomach pain due to hunger, it is no less than a "panacea".

Qi Feifei took it without hesitation and smiled: "Thank you!" There was a sincere light in his eyes.

He took out a dime from his pocket and handed it over.

"I don't have a ticket. Can I give you a dime?"

The man wants to say: It’s given to you, no need to pay.

But my current situation is also extremely difficult. The educated youth will have food to eat when they arrive at the production team, but I don’t know what will happen to me! I reached out and took the ten cents: "Thank you!"

Qi Feifei responded with a grateful smile and slowly gnawed the steamed bread. It was really hard. The craftsmanship of the person who made the steamed bread was really not good!

Qi Feifei complained in her heart while glancing at the man out of the corner of her eye.

He was about forty years old, with long and messy hair, fair skin, a high nose bridge, clear lip lines, a slightly large mouth, slightly upturned corners, large ears, and a pair of glasses. He looked elegant and dignified. There was a bruise on his forehead, which made him look out of place.

The clothes have been washed to a white color and are a little dirty.

Qi Feifei didn't like chatting with others for no reason, and the man had no intention of taking the opportunity to get close to her.

Both of them fell silent and did not communicate anymore.

Qi Feifei no longer paid attention to the man. She slowly ate the steamed bread while thinking about what to do next.

The summer in Northeast China is very short. The weather becomes cold in late September, and then it is autumn harvest time, and the field freezes before threshing.

She had to prepare her winter clothes before the autumn harvest, but she would have no time once the harvest season started.

She doesn't want to suffer from the cold in this life. The days with blisters on her hands, feet and ears are too hard to bear!

In her previous life, it was her mother-in-law, Aunt Liu, who saw her working with her bare hands, which were frozen, stiff, red and swollen.

Out of pity for her, they made her a pair of cotton hand gloves (the kind with only the thumb separated and the other four fingers together).

He also gave her an old cotton waistcoat from his youth.

In this life, she didn't want to marry Liu Gui again, nor did she want to owe Aunt Liu any more favors.

Since you already know the living environment in Northeast China, you need to prepare in advance.

In her previous life, she had always lived in the mountains, and her greatest survival skill was mountain running.

The place where she joined the team was deep in the mountains. It was convenient to collect mountain products, but not convenient to sell them.

She needed to find a way to turn the mountain products into money or supplies.

Well, since you want her to be reborn, why not let her do it before going to the countryside?

I could have made some preparations and not been so passive. Now I have nothing. I have nothing!

The train clanged along, and all she could think about was “making money, making money…”

After being delayed again and again, the train finally arrived at the station at around two in the afternoon.

As Qi Feifei walked out of the station with her luggage, she saw Officer Liu standing on a Red East tractor and shouting, "Youth from Yanjiang Commune, youth from Yanjiang Commune, gather here..."

There were already several male educated youth on the bus. Qi Feifei walked over and one of them jumped off the bus and helped her lift her luggage up. Another male educated youth wanted to pull her up, but she failed and climbed up by herself by stepping on the wheels.

Not far from their car, there was a Jiefang truck parked to pick up the families of employees of the Third Line Factory.

Soon the car was filled with men, women, young and old, all carrying large and small bags, making a lot of noise and chaos.

A young man, not very tall, but with a loud voice.

Busy running back and forth, helping to put things away and reminding people of safety issues.

"Everyone sit down, everyone find a place to sit down, the road is bumpy, sit tight, it will be terrible if you fall down on the road."

"There are so many people, so we all squeeze together. We are all from the same factory, so we can take care of each other."

"Comrade, hold the child."

……

A young girl with a round face, almond-shaped eyes, thin lips, fair skin, bangs, two big braids, a plaid dress, and carrying a suitcase.

It stands out among the gray, black, blue and green.

As soon as the girl appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.

The young man jumped out of the car as soon as he saw the girl and ran over to take the girl's suitcase.

I don't know what he said, but he led the girl to the passenger seat of the Jiefang car.

As soon as the girl got into the car, people in the back car began to whisper and talk.

Qi Feifei couldn't hear what they were talking about, but she guessed it was related to that girl.

On the educated youth side, five female educated youth and one male educated youth came.

Secretary Liu began to call out names: "Liu Guihua, Wang Zhaodi, Meng Yong, Wang Xiliang, Cai Xueju... Zhang Chunxiang, Zhang Chunxiang?"

Seeing that no one answered and there were few people at the exit, Officer Liu said, "You guys wait here, don't wander around, I'll go meet her. When she comes out, we'll rush back."

Then he jumped off the bus and walked towards the exit.

There were not many people at the exit at that time. I told the ticket inspector and he let him in.

After walking about thirty meters in, I saw a girl with two braids hanging in front of her chest. She was carrying a suitcase in both hands and moving forward. Her forehead was covered with sweat and her bangs were wet and stuck to her face.

Officer Liu hurried over and asked, "Are you Comrade Zhang Chunxiang, the educated youth who went to work in the Yanjiang Commune?"

Zhang Chunxiang stopped, stood up and panted, and smiled, "Yes, yes, I am. The luggage is too heavy, and I can't lift it. I'm sorry for the delay."

Secretary Liu picked up her luggage and said, "Let's go, everyone is waiting." Then he walked out quickly.

Zhang Chunxiang quickly trotted after him: "Thank you, thank you, comrade."

Secretary Liu strode forward and said, "We are all revolutionary comrades, no need to thank me."

Soon the two men arrived at the Dongfanghong tractor, and Officer Liu immediately threw the luggage into the carriage.

He said to Zhang Chunxiang: "Comrade Zhang Chunxiang, get in the car."

He turned to the co-pilot and said to the tractor driver, "Hurry up and leave. It's very late today. The village heads are still waiting at the commune to pick us up. Hurry up."

As soon as the male educated youth pulled Zhang Chunxiang onto the tractor, the tractor started moving.

It was such a bumpy ride that I wished my butt could be split into eight pieces.

Zhang Chunxiang was weak to begin with, and her face turned pale at this moment. She sat next to Qi Feifei, wanting to cry.

Qi Feifei felt like laughing in her heart, as she was the same in her previous life, crying along with her.

Alas! I am still too young to know that this little bitterness is just a small appetizer.

After my face became numb from shaking, I finally arrived at Yanjiang Commune before the sun set.

Everyone jumped out of the car, and finally we arrived, and everyone wanted to cheer!
