Xu Yin made do with it all night in the waiting room.

The next day, a team of land reclamation indeed set off from here, crossing the boundless wilderness and over the numerous hills, to open up wasteland in the uninhabited barren meadow.

However, what the wasteland reclamation team convened was actually some junior high school graduates or unemployed youths in the city who could not go to school. Working youths like Xu Yin, who lived in the countryside and registered in rural areas, were not in the mobilization ranks.

It's just that there is no ID card at this time, and the inspection is not as strict as in later generations. The main reason is that there is land to grow in the countryside, and whoever wants to send their children to suffer if they have a bite to eat.

That's not a slogan, just shout it.

It was a real effort to build new villages and cultivate fields on the wilderness where there were no people for hundreds of miles and where wolves sometimes visited. The difficulties encountered during the period were simply unimaginable.

Therefore, Xu Yin's joining made the members of the land reclamation team very curious, but it was limited to curiosity, but they never doubted it. They just surrounded her and asked:

"Comrade, what's your name? I haven't seen you at the mobilization meeting!"

"Comrade, which school did you graduate from? Let's divide into groups according to the school you graduated from."

Xu Yin replied without changing her face: "My name is Xu Yin. I couldn't come to the mobilization meeting because of something, but my heart is always with you! Graduation school? I went to elementary school and junior high school in other places, and I just came back to our county this year. .”

"Ah!"

"There are two surnamed Xu, one is Xu Xiali and the other is Xu Wenfa. You..."

"Tsk! When did that kid become so courageous? How dare he run away from this kind of thing? We used to pull weeds in the dry area of ​​our class, and we all ran away, but he didn't even dare to run away."

The rising sun in early spring exudes warm and bright light, shining on this simple and beautiful small mountain town.

Fortunately, someone did not get in the car and indirectly helped her, thank you!

A girl in the back row raised her hand and shouted "Report": "Captain, I'm Xu Xiali."

register?What roster?

Xu Yin: Congrats!
Last night, I took a lot of materials that are useful in this era but not too eye-catching from the system warehouse:
I added a pair of thick quilts, a set of work clothes worn in the 60s, and a set of old padded jackets, two pairs of hand-sewn cotton socks, two pairs of old marching shoes, two pairs of mille-soled cloth shoes, and Aluminum lunch boxes, enamel jars, toothbrushes, toothpaste, face towels... There are two big packages packed.

Xu Wenfa sneezed all the way, and returned home feeling unexplainable.

A young woman with short hair near her ears saw her with a big bulging luggage bag in each hand, and reached out to help her. Unexpectedly, the luggage was so heavy that it didn't move at all, and she couldn't help sighing enviously. Sentence: "Comrade Xu Yin, you are really strong!"

Xu Yin was taken aback.

"This name sounds like a gay man. Is your father's name used for registration?" The young woman sitting next to Xu Yin smiled knowingly.

Can the luggage not sink?

Xu Yin made an "Amen" gesture in her heart, and sincerely thanked the comrade "Xu Wenfa" who didn't get on the bus.

On the far away platform, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy stared at the tail of the far away train in a daze while holding his luggage, muttering in his mouth: "You can't blame me! The train left before I waited, isn't it?" I deliberately avoided it...you can't blame me..."

"I don't know, I haven't seen it before."

When we got on the train, everyone helped each other to stuff the luggage into the luggage rack, and put the luggage in the aisle if it couldn't fit. Anyway, the entire 17 carriages were members of the reclamation team, and then each found a seat to sit down.

Xu Yin was glad that a comrade named "Xu Wenfa" hadn't come, otherwise she really didn't know how to explain.

At the train station, I thought I had gotten away with it, but I didn't expect there to be a roster.

To be honest, he was really reluctant to go to northern Xinjiang to reclaim wasteland.

"..."

Xu Yin smiled without saying a word, watching them help her find out the reason one sentence at a time, and sighed in her heart: These colleagues can get along!
At this time, the leader of the Yuanshan Land Reclamation Team counted the number of people and saw that 17 team members from all over the county had arrived. He came over and clapped his hands and said, "Everyone line up! The train is coming in soon, we are [-] Compartment, remember! Don’t rush, don’t grab, queue up one by one to get on the train! Don’t leave your luggage behind!”

Xu Yin was sitting on the window seat with her cheeks on her cheeks, curiously admiring the ruined town in the 50s, when the young woman sitting next to her touched her elbow:
"Comrade Xu Yin, the captain asked whose name you used when you signed up? Is your father or your mother's? I didn't find your name in the roster."

"Oh!" Captain Fu nodded, ticked off Xu Xiali's name, and asked Xu Yin, "Then you are Xu Wenfa."

But parents and brothers and sisters all felt that, just going for two or three years, it's not like they can't come back for a lifetime.All those who participated in the reclamation team will be assigned formal jobs after returning.Enduring hard work for a while, in exchange for a piece of comfort, not to mention there is an allowance during this period, what a bargain this deal is!

In the parcel containing the lunch box, there was also a bag of brown sugar, a bag of dried plums, a jar of dried radish, a few catties of dried sweet potato, and mixed coarse grains of millet and brown rice.

There were two boys in the back row, head to head, whispering:
"Did Wenfa come? Did this guy really escape?"

"By the way, this lesbian is a relative of his family?"

"Oh, I see! Is it because of the job transfer of my parents? I have a classmate who is in the same situation as you. In the third grade of primary school, he went to other places with his parents and only transferred back last year."

The team leader Fu Rongxing flipped through the handwritten roster in his hand, squeezed through the luggage with difficulty, and asked Xu Yin:

The train whistled a few times and drove out of Yuanshan County.

"That's no wonder! It's hard for junior high school graduates in our county to get a job right away, and they're all queuing up. You just transferred from another place, so it's really hard to get a job right away."

Xu Yin quickly moved her luggage to her feet.

"Xu Xiali is here!"

Xu Yin looked around the carriage, no one jumped out to claim the name "Xu Wenfa", she nodded slightly, and Fu Rongxing put a tick next to the name "Xu Wenfa".

He also thought it was a good deal, but when he thought of the land where the wasteland was reclaimed, not only was it deserted and life was difficult, but he heard that there were wolves, and he couldn't help being afraid.Several times, I anxiously asked the friends who signed up together: What will happen if you don’t go after you sign up?Will the organization criticize him?

The friends all said they didn't know.

He didn't know either, so he didn't dare not come.

But unexpectedly, on the way to the train station, out of pity, I helped an old man who went uphill to push a heavy cart. After going downhill, he saw that the old man's legs and feet didn't seem to be very agile. At the entrance of the nearby alley, a lot of time was delayed, resulting in missing the train.

For a while, I wasn't sure if this was a good reward for a good man?
