Chapter: 43 The Delicate Zhou Rongrong

However, the educated youth had to prepare their own meals, and two people lived in one room.

Du Shanshan first asked Lin Weiwan to share a room with her, and Zhou Weinan naturally asked Shen Shili to share a room with her.

Wang Ping walked to Zhou Rongrong with her luggage, her round face slightly chubby, “Zhou Zhiqing, let’s share a room.”

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Lin Weiwan got up early, cleaned up, took out a two-grain corn cake from her backpack and ate breakfast with cucumber pickles.

Du Shanshan used two pieces of milk candy to exchange for six cucumber pickles again. The two of them had breakfast with hot water.

“Lin Zhiqing, there are so many people, can we get a seat?” It was also the first time that Du Shanshan saw so many people squeezed into a bus. She felt that it was difficult for her small body to squeeze into the bus.

Lin Weiwan looked at the crowd standing nearby. There were at least 40 or 50 educated youths carrying luggage who went to the countryside. It seemed that they were all going to Mixian County.

He turned around and handed the two luggage bags to Du Shanshan, “You follow me up, I’ll go grab a seat.”

The two hit it off immediately. Lin Weiwan was carrying a luggage roll on his back, so it was naturally easier for him to squeeze in with only one luggage bag.

Du Shanshan had little luggage to begin with, only a small luggage roll and a slightly deflated luggage bag, so she didn’t feel the weight of the two luggage bags Lin Weiwan handed to her.

Seeing the two doors of the bus open, Lin Weiwan rushed in first. He was strong, so he rushed in faster. As soon as he got on the bus, he found an empty seat in the middle and sat down, and he kindly saved a seat for Du Shanshan.

When Zhou Rongrong and Shen Shili got on, the seats were already full. Shen Shili saw the empty seat next to Lin Weiwan and pushed Zhou Rongrong over.

“Lin Weiwan, go in and let Rongrong sit.”

“This seat is taken.” Lin Weiwan looked at Du Shanshan behind them and waved to her.

“Lin Weiwan, are you shameless? How can you occupy two seats? You must give up this seat.”

Shen Shili started to scold. The bus left in the morning and it took most of the day to get to the county. It would arrive after three o’clock in the afternoon, which meant that those who didn’t have a seat would have to stand for more than eight hours.

“Are you deaf or blurry? This seat is for Du Shanshan, get out of here.” Lin Weiwan pushed the two people away and pulled Du Shanshan, who had squeezed behind Shen Shili.

He moved his whole body inside and let Du Shanshan sit down. Everyone is used to this kind of seat grabbing and seat grabbing. Who let the bus be so few and the road long? Even if you don’t have a seat, you have to squeeze in.

When the door was closed, the smell in the car suddenly became complicated, with the smell of chicken manure, stinky feet, and sweat mixed together.

Lin Weiwan, wearing a mask, felt that he didn’t want to eat for the whole day.

Fortunately, when he packed his luggage in the morning, he secretly replaced all the food in the luggage bag into the space. Otherwise, the smell would definitely be mixed after squeezing in the car for a day.

On the way, they stopped for a 15-minute break. The driver ate a box lunch. Lin Weiwan and Du Shanshan took turns getting off to relieve themselves and came back reluctantly. They took two corn cakes and ate a little.

Du Shanshan pulled a towel out of her luggage bag and wrapped it around her mouth and nose at Lin Weiwan’s suggestion. That was better.

Zhou Rongrong’s face turned green at this time. The two roosters that the aunt brought up next to her had diarrhea, and unfortunately they all fell on her shoes.

Shen Shili felt sick. Under Zhou Rongrong’s tearful attack, he bit the bullet and took paper to wipe Zhou Rongrong clean.

However, the more frustrating thing was that there were too many people and they couldn’t even bend down, so the two had to give up.

When the bus stopped at Mi County, the door was opened and the people on the bus squeezed down with baskets on their backs and luggage.

Lin Weiwan and Du Shanshan got off and ran a few more steps forward to breathe fresh air. You asked why they didn’t open the window while driving.

Opening the window will make your face full of dust. You can’t even open your eyes.

There were already a lot of oxcarts waiting to pick up people in front of the station.

Lin Weiwan followed everyone and walked towards the Youth Educated Office with a sign.

“I’ll call out the names to see if everyone is here.” The middle-aged man took out a list from his jacket pocket.

On the list, there were more than 50 educated youth who came to the countryside in Mixian County.

“Everyone is here, bring your luggage and follow me to the Youth Educated Office. The cars of the various communes are parked there waiting.”

“How far do we have to go? I really can’t walk anymore.” Zhou Rongrong stood all the way, and now her waist and legs are sore. Most of the luggage was carried on Shen Shili’s back.

The man looked back at Zhou Rongrong with an unknown smile, “We’ll be there in ten minutes.”

He said, and led the large group forward without looking back.

At the gate of the Youth Educated Office, five oxcarts were parked in a row.

Each driver had a sign with the name of his own brigade. Some squatted or stood and chatted.

“Okay, we’re here. If you have any problems in the future, you can tell your team leader or village chief. If you really have any difficulties, you can come to the Youth Educated Office to solve them. We, the Youth Educated…” The man stood at the door and said a bunch of polite words before ending.

Lin Weiwan carried her luggage according to the assignment and walked to the third oxcart with the words “Dongsheng Brigade” on it.

The uncle driving the oxcart looked to be about 40 years old. There were several patches on his gray cloth shirt. His face was dark from years of hard work, with several deep wrinkles and a face full of tiny black spots.

Chen Dasheng counted the number of Youth Educated standing in front of his car. Ten people were just right.

“My name is Chen Dasheng. The village asked me to pick you up. Put all the luggage on the oxcart. We have to get to the village before dark.”

Lin Weiwan quickly put the luggage in the middle of the oxcart. Zhou Rongrong and Cui Hongying had already jumped on the oxcart and sat on one side.

Chen Dasheng looked back and frowned, “What are you doing? Put the luggage on the car, and you all get off and walk.”

Zhou Rongrong’s face turned pale when she heard this, “Uncle, I’ve been standing for a whole day since I came here by car, and now I really can’t walk anymore.”

“Uncle, let’s go, let the female comrades take the car back, they really can’t walk anymore.” Shen Shili took out a handful of candy from his bag and put it in Zhou Dasheng’s pocket.

“What are you doing? The ox cart can’t carry people. The luggage of ten of you is already very heavy. What if the ox gets tired and sick? Get off quickly.”

Chen Dasheng directly pushed back Shen Shili’s hand holding the candy. He hated these educated youth the most. They were so spoiled and ran to the countryside to snatch food from them.

“Uncle, I… I really can’t walk anymore.” Zhou Rongrong blushed and started to cry softly.

“If you can’t walk, find a way yourself. Why are you so delicate coming to the countryside? If you can’t do it, go back quickly. If you get on the car, then other people’s luggage can’t be put on. If you all agree to carry yourselves back, I won’t say anything. There is only so much space in the oxcart, you can do it yourself.”

Chen Dasheng felt annoyed when he saw the crying female educated youth. If it weren’t for the fact that the driver, Old Li, sprained his ankle, he wouldn’t have come to take on all this trouble.
