Chapter 18 Arrival

Nothing happened along the way after that. They all got off the train exhausted physically and mentally. They breathed in the fresh air outside and felt like they were alive again.

Because the train arrived in the morning, they did not need to stay in a guest house. Instead, they went directly to the bus station to take a bus to the county seat, and then transferred to the town.

Although Wen Xin was mentally prepared for the current traffic speed, he was also exhausted. In the past few days on the train, I almost felt like my feet were no longer touching the ground, and I didn’t feel at ease. Even if I went out to play on a hard seat before, I never had such a long time.

Thanks to the warm-heartedness of most people nowadays, a few people asked about how to get to the bus station, and someone enthusiastically gave them directions. When they arrived at the bus station, the five of them took their letters of introduction to buy tickets.

Nowadays, you need a letter of introduction to buy tickets and accommodation, otherwise it will be difficult to prove your identity.

When we got in the car, there was another chaos of war. The space in the car is not big and there are many passengers. There was no place to put their luggage. The people in the car were carrying everything, and Wen Xin even saw someone holding a live chicken. With the passengers and their luggage, the small space was so packed that there was almost no room to stand.

Because we got on the bus late and were dragging so much luggage, a few people didn't get seats and they all stood crowded in the bus.

After traveling for such a long time, they were sleepy, tired, and hungry. The smell in the car was mixed and unpleasant, and the road was bumpy. As the car moved, the girls felt dizzy and sick, and their faces turned pale.

After finally getting off the bus, several people vomited wildly on the roadside, almost vomiting out their bile. I didn't eat much on the train, and now I can only vomit out some sour water no matter how uncomfortable I feel. My stomach was churning and my mouth was bitter.

As the only boy inside, Lin Kai felt okay and not so uncomfortable. He looked at the status of the girls and spontaneously looked at the luggage of the five people.

Wen Xin, who felt better after vomiting, looked at her minimal luggage and felt even more grateful to herself for wanting to be lazy. Otherwise, it would be so uncomfortable now, and I would have to drag so much luggage, I would be exhausted.

Wang Yumei has the most luggage, two big bags, a bag on her back, and a bag in her hand. Now she is staggering when she walks.

Zhang Yingying didn't carry much, just a big bag and a bag on her body, and it was still difficult to walk now.

Zhao Wanqing was holding a bag in her hand and a bag on her back, and her walking was not easy.

Comrade Lin Kai also has a lot of luggage and cannot spare any time to help others carry their luggage.

Wen Xin also carried her luggage and walked forward with a look on her face.

In fact, Wen Xin herself has little strength. In my previous job, I made a living by coding at home and didn't do much exercise, so my physical strength was very average. After passing through, this body is stronger than before. I don’t know if I can get used to it when I start working.

The five of them changed stations and took the bus to the town.

After all the hard work, I got to the local Educated Youth Office and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After arriving, the relevant procedures must be completed first, and the food relationship must be reversed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no food to eat.

After they were done, they saw someone waiting for them with a bullock cart outside.

After asking, he found out that the man was the captain of Linjiacun, the Ping An Brigade. He looked to be in his fifties, quite dark, and his face was covered with traces of time. A pair of hands are covered with calluses, and he looks like a hard worker.

In this day and age, especially farmers, life is difficult, they cannot make a lot of money, and they still have to do hard work. I heard from the elders in the family that it is very difficult to eat enough. It was difficult for Wen Xin to imagine such a thing before. After all, in contemporary times, society is developing rapidly and is completely different from now.

"I am the captain of Linjia Village of the Ping An Brigade. You put your luggage on the oxcart and let's rush back as soon as possible." The captain saw them coming out and greeted them.

Several people nodded quickly and introduced themselves. Then they put their luggage on the cart and climbed on.

Seeing that they were all seated, the captain began to drive the cattle slowly and leisurely.

Nowadays, cattle are rare animals, they are used as labor force and must be taken care of carefully.

Maybe it was because he was too tired, or maybe because the road was not so bumpy and uncomfortable, Wen Xin fell asleep in a daze.

This time I slept very comfortably, and when I woke up, I was woken up by Zhao Wanqing next to me. When I woke up, my eyes were confused, my brain was groggy, and I couldn't figure out where I was.

Zhao Wanqing looked at Wen Xin's confused look and found it very cute. She smiled and said, "Wen Xin, we are almost at Linjia Village."

"Ouch, okay." Wen Xin reacted when she heard this.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, there were many children waiting for the bullock cart to come back. As soon as they saw people, they gathered around to watch the fun. They are still full of curiosity about the educated youth from outside. But I didn’t see much of the adults, they were probably all busy at work. Who has the time to pay attention to the educated youth?

In the first few years when the educated youth went to the countryside, people in the village were still very curious and wanted to see the difference between the people in the city and the farmers in their fields. But after seeing it too much, I feel that they are all the same, with two eyes and one mouth. After that, when more people came, they lost interest and thought that the educated youth were coming to compete with them for food.

Some people are disgusted when they hear that they are still going to be educated youths. They all felt that these educated youths were delicate and did not know how to do any work, and they despised them as rural people. But the village also allocates food to them, so they cannot starve to death. It is not cost-effective no matter how you think about it. It makes them even less interested in seeing educated youth.

The captain sent them to the entrance of the village and asked a few people to get out of the car with their luggage.

"You guys take your luggage and I'll take you to the Educated Youth Institute." After saying that, the captain handed the cow to the man waiting and asked him to take the cow to graze first. He was tired today. Today's cows are more delicate than humans.

Several people took their luggage and followed the captain to the Educated Youth Institute. Most of the places we passed along the way were dusty. The houses are basically mud houses, and there are very few brick houses.

Not long after walking, we arrived at the Educated Youth Courtyard. The Home for Educated Youth looks quite big from a distance, and is a brick building. It is a very good house in the village.

When they arrived at the door, the team leader said, "This is the House for Educated Youth. It was a house left by the rich man in the village. Now that it is under construction, it will be used as a House for Educated Youth."

After hearing this explanation, Wen Xin understood. No wonder Qingyuan looks good. This house can probably only be used as a home for educated youth. If it is allocated to the village, how and to whom it will be allocated are all problems. After giving it to the educated youth, plus the subsidies given to the educated youth from above, and giving some money to the villagers, naturally everyone at home has no objections.

Wen Xin was very happy that Tofu could live in such a nice house.

After entering the door, there are two rows of houses, each row has six rooms, two large rooms in the middle, and two small single rooms on both sides, each with a public kitchen and toilet.
