Chapter 4: Living separately
Fang Chengxin pointed to the tractor parked nearby and said, "Get on board. We'll set off once everyone is seated."
"Thank you." After Jin Changfeng thanked him, he got on the tractor first and asked Zhao Jianguo to hand him everyone's luggage. He put the luggage in place and then extended his hand to Wen Xi, "Comrade Wen, come here, I'll pull you."
He was a great military comrade, so Wen Xi didn't think too much about it and just reached out his hand. Jin Changfeng held Wen Xi's cool little hand and pulled Wen Xi onto the tractor.
Jin Changfeng was so happy when he held Wen Xi's hand. Her hands were so soft and smooth, as if they had no bones. But as soon as they got on the tractor, Wen Xi let go of his hand, which made him feel lost. He really wanted to keep holding her hand.
Everyone got on the tractor and waited for a while. Several educated youth arrived. After Fang Chengxin called the roll and made sure that everyone was present, he got on the tractor and drove everyone away.
There was too much luggage on the tractor and there was no place to sit, so everyone could only stand on the tractor. The cold wind blew in our faces, along our necks, making our chests feel cold. The wind also blew into our noses, making it difficult to breathe.
Suddenly, Wen Xi was surprised to find that the wind seemed to have stopped and breathing was not so difficult. When she looked up, she saw Jin Changfeng standing in front of her, blocking the biting cold wind for her.
Wen Xi was just about to say thank you to him when she was suddenly bumped from behind by someone, causing her to fall forward and into Jin Changfeng's arms.
Jin Changfeng quickly reached out to support Wen Xi, and when Wen Xi stood firm, he asked worriedly, "Comrade Wen, are you okay?"
The road condition is bad, but you can't blame others. After all, everyone can't stand steadily, so it's normal to sway back and forth.
Wen Xi shook her head. "I'm fine. How about you? Did I hurt you?"
Jin Changfeng really wanted to say, you didn’t hurt me, you hit my heart, but he was afraid of scaring her, after all, today was the second day they knew each other.
After that, everyone tried to stand firmly, curling their toes into their shoes and trying to hold on to the tractor tightly with their toes, for fear of such an embarrassing thing happening again.
Half an hour later, the tractor stopped in the courtyard of the commune office building. Everyone got off the tractor, feeling their legs weak, and complained one after another.
There were already several ox carts waiting in the yard, all of which were sent by various production teams to pick up the educated youth.
Jin Changfeng put down Wen Xi's canvas bag, went inside for a while, and then came out. From the upturned corners of his mouth, it can be seen that he was in a good mood at the moment.
Fang Chengxin took out the list of educated youth from the Youth League Office and called out their names first. When he found that someone was missing, he drew a cross on the list.
After that, the assignment began. Wen Xi, Shen Jiaojiao, Jiang Yue, Song Lan, and Zhou Bai were all assigned to the Harvest Brigade, just like in their previous lives. Fang Chengxin handed the list to the captain of the Harvest Brigade and said to Wen Xi and the others, "This is Captain Qian of your Harvest Brigade. You guys go with him!"
Captain Qian immediately saw Jin Changfeng and Zhao Jianguo, who were carrying canvas bags and following the five educated youth. When he was about to say something, he saw Jin Changfeng shaking his head at him, so he did not waste any time.
Jin Changfeng and Zhao Jianguo put everyone's luggage on the ox cart, and then the two of them went aside to talk.
Zhao Jianguo patted Jin Changfeng's chest and said, "Changfeng, you are not really in love with Comrade Xiao Wen, are you?"
"Yeah." Jin Changfeng admitted briefly, and then looked at Wen Xi with a smile in his eyes, "Don't say anything when you return to the village, otherwise don't blame me for punishing you."
Zhao Jianguo smiled innocently, "This kind of happy event must be announced by you yourself. I will definitely not say a word more."
Jin Changfeng gave Zhao Jianguo a threatening look. If he didn't keep his word, then don't blame him for being rude.
After calling the roll, Captain Qian looked at everyone carefully, made sure he remembered them, and then said, "Our Fengshou Brigade is not far from the commune, and it will take less than two hours to get there. It's still early, so we have to wait a while before going back. If you need to buy anything, you can go buy it now. If you don't want to buy anything today, you can come and buy it tomorrow."
Song Lan said hurriedly, "Captain Qian, I'll go to the post office to pick up the package. Captain Qian, please wait for me for a while."
Captain Qian nodded and said, "Go!"
"Thank you, Captain Qian." Song Lan thanked him hurriedly and turned to leave. Zhou Bai felt embarrassed to stay with three girls, so he caught up with Song Lan and planned to help her later.
Captain Qian looked at these five tender and cute children. Although he was not very happy in his heart, his unhappiness disappeared when he saw how well-behaved they were.
It doesn't matter if they can't do things, as long as they don't cause trouble. This is the only requirement he has for them, but the young people who came before couldn't do it.
Shen Jiaojiao happily hugged Wen Xi's arm and said with a smile, "Xiao Xi, it's great that we can be assigned to the same place."
Wen Xi nodded thoughtfully. Everything else was fine, but if she went there, she would meet those people from her previous life. Then...
Wen Xi shook his head and decided not to think about these things anymore. He would just deal with the enemy as they came and block the water as they came. No matter how bad the situation got, it would not be as miserable as in his previous life.
Then Wen Xi opened his smallest canvas bag, took out six whole-grain steamed buns, put them in an oil paper bag, and put ten White Rabbit milk candies in it. He came in front of Captain Qian and secretly stuffed them into his pockets.
"Captain Qian, I'm Wenxi. Some people from my neighborhood went to the countryside, so we have more or less some understanding of what's going on there. The educated youth came from all over the country, with different living habits and languages. It's easy for conflicts to arise when there are too many people, so we want to rent an empty house in the team, live there by ourselves, and start our own fire. I wonder if there's an empty house in the Harvest Brigade?"
When Captain Qian saw the steamed buns inside, he wanted to refuse, but he swallowed his saliva helplessly and said, "There are indeed two extinct houses in the village that you can live in. As long as you are not afraid, you can choose a house to live in when you get to the village."
"Thank you, Captain Qian. We will buy the house directly. If we go back home in the future, we will return the house to the village. We would also like to trouble Captain Qian to help us with the formalities." There were too many people in the educated youth center, and they had to sleep in large dormitories. There was no privacy at all. I suffered a lot when I lived there for two years in my previous life.
Now that she has a sign-in system, how can she prepare for her own meal if she lives in a crowded place?
She only wanted to give special treatment to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue; everyone else had nothing to do with her.
Seeing this girl being so sensible, Captain Qian was also satisfied. "Comrade Wen, don't worry. I promise to help you with everything. If you have any problems in the village in the future, remember to come to me or your aunt."
