Chapter 14

In her previous life, Mo Yutong heard her Mr. Yan talk about how far it was from Jing City to Ming County at this time. When she heard it at first, she didn’t take it seriously, thinking that it couldn’t be that far.

But when she took a train for more than 20 hours and a bus for another 8 hours to reach the county town, she realized how far it was.

Moreover, according to what other educated youth who went to Tongzi Commune to work in the countryside learned from local people, Tongzi Commune is still an hour and a half bicycle ride away from Ming County. Most importantly, there is no car from the county seat to Tongzi Commune, so the members can only take the commune’s ox cart to go to the county seat.

In other words, if they wanted to go to Tongzi Commune, they would either have to walk on the yellow mud and gravel road for at least three hours, or they would have to go to the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative and squeeze into a ox cart with other members for three hours.

When he heard that it would still take three hours, Mo Yutong looked up at the sky and said, “Brother Li, why is your home so far away?”

But Mo Yutong only sighed for a short while, and a raging fire began to burn in her heart again. It was a deep love that could not be extinguished even by a long journey.

“Shouldn’t someone come to pick us up?” A tall and thin girl carrying a huge bag said with sweat on her forehead and slightly panting.

“The Chairman said: Comrades in rural areas everywhere should welcome them. We have come to the vast world to temper our red hearts, and they should welcome us.” A skinny young man held the frame of his glasses with his right hand, clenched his left fist in front of his chest, and raised his chin, speaking excitedly.

Mo Yutong, who was not far from the young man, saw his excited look, silently pulled the straps of his backpack, and moved a little further away from him.

If it weren’t for Brother Li calling us, who would live in the same commune with this fool!

“Yes, they must welcome us, otherwise we will go to the Youth League Office to complain and ask them to severely punish this crime that disrupts the educated youth’s going to the countryside.” Another young man clenched his right fist and smashed it hard on the palm of his left hand, echoing indignantly.

What the hell? Mo Yutong was dumbfounded, looking at the young man as if he were a patient who had escaped from a mental hospital, and continued to retreat to the side.

There are too many patients and she is a little overwhelmed.

The day before yesterday, she went to the Youth League Office to learn about the relevant policies and read some related reports in the newspaper.

I know that two years ago, a local revolutionary committee held a public trial to protect educated youth who went to the countryside and severely punish criminals who disrupted the movement of educated youth. A group of criminals who disrupted the movement of educated youth were killed or sentenced.

However, those people were convicted of violating laws and disciplines because they beat up educated youth, molested and insulted female educated youth, and forced and deceived them into marriage. It is not serious enough to just come and pick them up!

What kind of self-satisfied species are these? Aren’t they tired after shaking for hours? They can still be so energetic. Mo Yutong really admires them.

“Sorry for being late. Are you an educated youth from Tongzi Commune?” A middle-aged man wearing a straw hat jumped off an ox cart and walked quickly towards the crowd.

“Hello uncle, we are the educated youth going to Tongzi Commune. Are you here to pick us up?” Mo Yutong raised her pale face which had not yet recovered, stood in front of the middle-aged man and asked with a smile, as her small leather shoes stepped on the ground.

“Well! Get in the car!” The middle-aged man looked at the pretty girl in front of him with a smile on her face, and his tone couldn’t help but soften a bit.

“Okay, uncle, my name is Mo Yutong.” Mo Yutong didn’t act pretentiously and quickly turned to the back of the ox cart and prepared to climb up.

But when she saw the tall carriage, Mo Yutong was dumbfounded. It was a bit high! How could she climb up?

“I’ll pull you.” A tall young man walked out of the crowd, kicked his legs and jumped, easily landed on the carriage, then turned around and stretched out his hand to Mo Yutong.

“Thank you!” Mo Yutong, who had received too much cultural shock in his previous life, didn’t think it was a big deal. He simply put his hand into his palm, then pushed his legs against the edge of the car board and stood steadily in the car with the force.

“Hello, I’m Ma Xinguo, from Anshi, Sichuan Province.” Ma Xinguo extended his hand to Mo Yutong again.

“Hello, Mo Yutong, I’m from Beijing.” Mo Yutong looked at the righteous man in front of him and couldn’t help but think of his sixth brother Mo Xinyao. This man had the same military aura as his sixth brother, which made people feel trustworthy immediately.

“Everyone, hurry up and get on the bus. Don’t delay, otherwise you won’t be able to reach the commune before dark.” The middle-aged man said unhappily as he looked at the others who were hesitating for a long time and couldn’t get on the bus.

“Pull me up quickly.” The tall and thin girl carrying a big bag was left at the back. She stretched out her hand to ask for help from the people on the car, but her eyes were clearly looking towards the innermost part of the car.

Mo Yutong was a little confused at first, but when she saw Ma Xinguo next to her stand up reluctantly, she seemed to understand something.

However, after the girl was pulled into the car by Ma Xinguo who had finally squeezed to the back of the car, she didn’t even say thank you, perhaps because she was too tired or something, and she sat down in Ma Xinguo’s original seat.

This is a bit… Before Mo Yutong could express his opinion, he got a roll of the eyes from the girl for no apparent reason. She cursed, “Bah! Vixen, shameless!”

Is he talking about himself? The inner universe in Mo Yutong was on the verge of exploding. Suddenly, she blinked and smiled sweetly, “Sweeping Away All Monsters and Demons” emphasizes the need to break free from the old ideas, culture, customs, and habits that have poisoned the people for thousands of years, created by all the exploiting classes.”

“You…” The tall and thin girl was stunned, her face turned pale, and her pretty face seemed to have a more pitiful look. Then she looked at Ma Xinguo aggrievedly.

However, Ma Xinguo, who was forced to sit at the outermost seat, didn’t even glance at her. He just carried his luggage and looked into the distance silently.

Nowadays, people are very sensitive to the inexplicable ambiguity between men and women. The slightest movement can make people talk about it for a long time, let alone a drama involving two women and one man, which makes everyone even more excited.

However, most of them were discerning and knew that the fair-skinned girl sitting in the innermost part was of some importance, so they naturally wouldn’t say anything behind her face. However, they still couldn’t help but secretly glance at her out of the corner of their eyes, and then ponder in their hearts the excitement that they couldn’t tell anyone.

Mo Yutong wasn’t interested in what those people were thinking. She turned around with her backpack in her arms and said to the middle-aged man sitting in front of her, “Uncle, we’re all seated.”

The ox cart began to move slowly. Outside the county town, there were mountains that stretched as far as the eye could see. At first, the educated youth were still chatting and laughing while introducing themselves to each other. But after an hour, most of them were pale from being shaken.

Mo Yutong was no exception, but when she thought of Mr. Yan who was getting closer and closer to her, she felt extremely excited, and her rippling eyes were full of shining stars.
