"It's hard for our team too!"
"Our team is more difficult!"
The four captains started a heated discussion about who was more difficult than who.
Before they could reach a conclusion, they saw a dozen young men and women with different looks and clothes coming over. Their eyes looked at the signs in the hands of several captains.
At this time, the leaders of the commune also rushed over.
"These are the educated youth who are going to the countryside to aid in construction this time." Director Liu introduced to everyone, "Everyone is welcome!"
The educated youth responded with sparse applause from several brigades sent to pick them up.
What does educated youth mean?
When the first batch of educated youth went to the countryside, everyone was excited and happy, thinking that these educated youth would definitely inject new strength into their rural areas.
But facts have proven that only a very small number of educated youths can put their knowledge into use and devote their lives and blood to the construction of rural areas. Most of the educated youths gave up the idea the moment they saw the rural environment.
As batch after batch of educated youths went to the countryside, everyone's mood also changed.
Today's educated youth are a burden to all brigades. With the work-point system that distributes work according to work, who wants to support idle people who can't work?
The educated youths are keenly aware of everyone's rejection of them. Several female educated youths are timid and sensitive, and their eyes are red now.
"I miss my mother."
"I want to go home."
Several female educated youths hugged each other, tears welling up in their eyes.
They traveled a long way to Liu County, and they regretted it from the moment they stepped off the train.
Is such a dilapidated and backward place really suitable for people to live in?
Xia Qingqing pulled Xu Chenghai's sleeve tightly, pretending to be worried and scared.
In fact, she had no troubles in her heart. Compared with the place where she lived back then, staying in Liuxian County was still good! Why not arrange for Xia Yao to go to a poorer and more backward place?
Xia Qingqing gritted her teeth and calmed down. According to the information Su Linlin revealed in her letter before, she and Xia Yao were in Qingshui Brigade, and among the four brigades, Shangyang Brigade had the best conditions!
Thinking of this, Xia Qingqing made up her mind.
She must go to Shangyang Brigade!
Fortunately, the Xu family had already made arrangements. If nothing else happened, she and Xu Chenghai would definitely go to a brigade with better conditions.
Xia Qingqing is confidently waiting for the announcement of the final list.
Several brigade captains argued with dark faces for several minutes. Finally, captain He was secretly happy and led Xia Qingqing, Xu Chenghai, and a few plainly dressed female educated youths to the bullock cart of Shangyang brigade.
After his observations over the past few years, the better off the educated youth are, the more unlucky they are! They don't care about the work points at all! They can't do any work at all!
Only ordinary educated youths from ordinary backgrounds will work hard for a mouthful of food.
Originally, he was unwilling to take Xu Chenghai, but the commune leaders had told him before that he should pay special attention to Xu Chenghai.
After looking at Xu Chenghai's gentle appearance, Captain He sighed inwardly.
He doesn’t look like a capable person! On the other hand, Xu Chenghai's partner, the female educated youth named Xia Qingqing, seemed to be a good worker at first sight! Be strong!
Captain Zhou had a stinky face, and there were female educated youths standing around him.
They were all in relatively good condition, wearing fine shirts and long skirts, and a pair of small leather shoes.
Oh no!
Captain Zhou sighed in his heart: "How can these little girls do farm work!"
At this time, Lu Jing came over.
The moment they saw Lu Jing, all the female educated youths' eyes lit up.
Especially when she saw Lu Jing walking behind Captain Zhou, the female educated youth assigned to the Qingshui Brigade was even more surprised.
"He's so good-looking! I don't know where he is from an educated youth!"
"Seeing as he is very familiar with the captain, he must be a powerful one!"
They generally have a strong mentality, and their eyes are almost shining when they stare at Lu Jing.
Captain Zhou coughed and said, "Lu Jing, go buy a few things for me, and then you can take another team's ox cart back."
Lu Jing's face is a disaster, but we can't let him have contact with other female educated youths. What if he changes his mind? Although that little girl Xia Yao has many evil ideas, she is kind-hearted and smart and capable. How can these female educated youths compare to her!
Captain Zhou thought he had figured it out, but after he said this, Lu Jing still didn't leave.
"What are you doing here?"
"Don't worry about you."
Lu Jing replied, and Captain Zhou glared at him: "Do I still have to worry about you? You should leave quickly!"
The regret in his heart! If he had known there were so many female educated youths, he wouldn't have let Lu Jing come to the county with him!
"Captain, don't you think there are too many female educated youths coming to our brigade? There are still more than twenty young men in our brigade." Lu Jing whispered, "There are too many female educated youths, there is no guarantee that they will not appear. What an accident, they are going to the countryside to do construction work, so we can’t harm them.”
As soon as Captain Zhou heard this, he immediately became nervous.
He rolled his eyes and immediately called out to the captains who were about to leave.
"Wait! This is inappropriate!"
Captain Zhou walked quickly to the commune leader and whispered a few words.
The commune leader's face turned ugly, but he still nodded.
"Captain He, Captain Chen, Captain Fang, please wait!" Director Liu shouted loudly, "We still have to renegotiate the distribution of educated youth."
"These male educated youths, go to Qingshui Brigade."
"These female educated youths, go to the Chatou Brigade."
The three female educated youths and one male educated youth who were originally assigned to the Qingshui Brigade were reassigned to one female educated youth and three male educated youths.
Among them is Xu Chenghai.
Because other brigades were unwilling to replace educated youths who looked capable of working, Xu Chenghai was the first choice to be replaced because he was so gentle.
When Xia Qingqing saw that Xu Chenghai had been transferred to the Qingshui Brigade, she immediately grabbed Xu Chenghai's hand.
"Brother Chenghai!" Xia Qingqing almost burst into tears, "I'm scared, can you stay with me?"
Her voice weakened and she held onto Xu Chenghai's hand tightly.
That's the Qingshui Brigade! Xia Yao is there!
Xia Qingqing gritted her teeth, unwilling to let Xu Chenghai go to the Qingshui Brigade no matter what, even...even if she went to the Qingshui Brigade!
Thinking of this, Xia Qingqing wanted to speak.
But Yang Xuan, who had been pestering Xu Chenghai on the train, spoke up: "Xia Zhiqing, this is an organizational distribution, and it is the fairest. If you change at your request, it will be unfair to other comrades."
Yang Xuan happens to be the only female educated youth assigned to the Qingshui Brigade.
Xia Qingqing could see Yang Xuan's coveting of Xu Chenghai at a glance. She bit her lower lip and still refused to let go of Xu Chenghai's hand.
She had an ominous premonition.
But everyone around was watching. Xu Chenghai wanted to save face the most, so he forcibly broke off Xia Qingqing's hand.
"Qingqing, be obedient." Xu Chenghai could not tolerate Xia Qingqing's refusal, "I will go find you when you settle down."
Xia Qingqing was filled with panic, but Xu Chenghai, Yang Xuan and others were already chatting and laughing, following Captain Zhou to the village.
She stared at the backs of the people leaving, her eyes turning red.
Captain He shuddered involuntarily when he saw this scene.
This does not look like an educated youth that is easy to get along with...
Xu Chenghai was a little disgusted when he saw the bullock cart, but thinking about his parents' instructions, he pinched his nose and prepared to get on the bullock cart.
Yang Xuan struggled to carry her suitcase, and Xu Chenghai helped her pick it up and prepare to put it on the bullock cart.
At this moment, the handsome young man who had been silent until now spoke.
"No one can sit in the bullock cart, and no luggage can be put on it."
When Yang Xuan heard this, a hint of displeasure appeared on her pretty face: "Why? You guys brought the bullock cart here, weren't they meant for us to sit in?"
"We went to the countryside to build rural areas, how could you do this to us?" Yang Xuan stamped her feet angrily and accused Lu Jing.
Yang Xuan is good-looking. According to past experience, she only needs to lose her temper in a delicate manner, and a man will naturally agree to her.
Who knew that the handsome young man in front of him didn't even raise his eyelids: "The bullock cart is the most valuable property of the brigade, and it cannot be used to pull you."
"If you can't even walk back to the brigade, let alone build the countryside."
After Lu Jing said this coldly, he looked behind a few people and raised his hand.
"Brother Lu!" Chen Zhou came over, sweating profusely, dragging the sack. "There are several more bags of what you want!"
He glanced at the ox cart and gave Lu Jing a thumbs up: "Fortunately, you and your Captain Zhou had the foresight! Who would have thought that these things alone would be so heavy!"
What was inside was stuff that Captain Zhou asked someone to get for raising chickens. Even Lu Jing didn't know what was inside.
These sacks were loaded onto the bullock carts, and there was no room left at all.
Yang Xuan was so angry that her face turned red.
Xu Chenghai frowned: "How can you treat lesbians like this?"
"How can you talk like this?" Chen Zhou immediately retorted, "Women hold up half the sky! We lesbians never lose to gay men! The pacesetters of our brigade are all lesbians every year!"
"If you can't do it, you can't do it. You're making excuses for yourself." Chen Zhou looked at Yang Xuan with disdain.
Yang Xuan was trembling all over. She never expected that all the men she met in this rural place were all coquettish things!
Captain Zhou finished speaking to Director Liu with a smile on his face.
After seeing several sacks piled on the bullock cart, I laughed so hard that my eyes disappeared.
"Okay, okay!" Captain Zhou patted Chen Zhou's shoulder, "When our team is done with this period of time, I'll invite you over for a drink!"
As he spoke, he cracked his whip.
This is to drive the bullock cart back to the group.
In Captain Zhou's eyes, there was no idea that the educated youth would work as a bullock cart to return home.
This cow is even more precious than the pig! Piglets can be bought every year, but cows are not available every year!
