Chapter 11 Good Comrade

Back in the carriage, several people continued to sleep.

Perhaps because of the common troubles, the relationship between the few people became much closer the next day.

Qiao Mu no longer refused the pears Tian Xiaohui handed over, and Qiao Mu would sometimes participate in whatever topic everyone talked about.

Talking and laughing all the way, the difficult journey seems to be easier.

At around [-]:[-] am on the fifth day, the train that was [-] hours late finally arrived at Sibei County, Guangxi Province.

Half of the more than 100 educated youths were assigned to Sibei County, and the rest were assigned to another county in Gui Province.

After getting off the train, some of the fifty or sixty educated youths looked around, while others looked blankly.

An educated youth said loudly, "Why is no one coming to pick us up?"

A conductor next to him laughed when he heard this. These educated youths from the city are so delicate, "Are you still waiting for someone to pick you up? Go to the educated youth to do it yourself!"

"Oh, by the way, it's still early, and the Educated Youth Office has to go to work at eight o'clock."

After hearing what the conductor said, Susie greeted Tian Xiaohui and the others, "Let's go out first, find a place to eat and have a rest."

Yuan Gang and Tian Xiaohui followed Su Xi without hesitation. Tian Xiaohui suddenly found that Qiao Mu who was standing next to them hadn't followed, turned around and shouted, "Qiao Mu, let's go, what are you waiting for?"

Qiao Mu hesitated for a moment, then followed with strides.

Yuan Gang took Tian Xiaohui's big box and carried it in his hand, Qiao Mu also took the box from Susie's hand without making a sound.

Susie and Tian Xiaohui carried their bedrolls, and it was easy to carry their travel bags.

There are no buses in the small county town, but fortunately the place is not big. After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, Susie found a "Sibei Hotel" by the roadside.

The big hotel is just a few big tile-roofed houses. Several people went in and sat down with big bags and small bags. One of them bought a bowl of shredded pork noodles for [-] cents. Qiao Mu and Yuan Gang also ordered two flatbreads.

After filling their stomachs, a few people inquired, and soon found the Educated Youth Office.

The Educated Youth Office is located in the county government compound. There are several one-story houses. The doors have not been opened yet, and there are already many educated youths from the capital who came over in the same car outside.

When it was almost eight o'clock, a middle-aged lesbian with short hair came over, first opened the green mailbox on the wall, took out a few letters and newspapers, and then took the key to open the door.

An educated youth leaned over at the door, "Hello comrade, we are educated youths from the capital."

The short-haired lesbian put the newspaper letter under her arm, pushed open the door and went in, "Don't worry, everyone, I'll handle it for you when I get to work."

Just as I was talking, another young lesbian with two long braids came riding a bicycle.

Ah Zi with short hair behind the desk, told that long-haired braid, "Xiao Zhu, please read their letter of introduction and make arrangements."

The girl with long braids agreed bluntly, "Don't squeeze, give me the letter of introduction first, then wait over there, and I will arrange for you after verification."

Susie also handed in the letter of introduction, and Tian Xiaohui grabbed Susie's clothes, "Cissy, I'm a little worried, what if we don't get assigned to the same production team?"

In her heart, Su Qian also hoped to be separated with Tian Xiaohui and Yuan Gang. Everyone is familiar with it, and it will be convenient for anything in the future.

Seeing that the short-haired lesbian was opening the letter, she whispered to Tian Xiaohui, "When you stopped at the station last night, you bought the roasted chestnuts. Give it to me."

Tian Xiaohui loves to eat snacks, so she buys whatever delicious food she sees along the way, and went to bed without eating much after buying it yesterday.

Tian Xiaohui thought that Su Xi wanted to eat, so she found it out of the travel bag.

The candied chestnuts were packed in a paper bag, and Susie took it. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly walked to the desk of the short-haired lesbian, and put the bag on the table casually.

The lesbian looked up at Susie, and then at the paper bag on the table.

Susie smiled and said in a low voice, "Hi comrades, we educated youths come from the same school and want to be assigned to a production team, is that okay?"

The lesbian smelled the aroma of roasted chestnuts, and said calmly, "What's your name?"

Su Qian said: "Four people, Su Xi, Tian Xiaohui, Yuan Gang, Qiao Mu."

The lesbian looked at Susie in surprise, and then at the letter in her hand, "It's you!"

Susie glanced at the letter, although she couldn't see the words on it, she reckoned it was a letter of commendation.

The letter came in a timely manner. It was estimated that the marshal handed it to the postman when it arrived at the station, just in time.

The attitude of the lesbians immediately became enthusiastic, "No problem, four people, right? I'll arrange a production team for you."

She immediately took out the material paper and pen from the drawer to write the letter of introduction, stamped it with the official seal, and distributed 50 yuan per person and [-] catties of Guizhou food stamps.

Susie held the letter of introduction, "I don't know your last name yet?"

The lesbian smiled: "My surname is Zhang, you can call me Comrade Zhang."

Susie nodded, "Thank you, Director Zhang, I will come to see you next time I have a chance."

Director Zhang has also received many educated youths over the years, and it was the first time she met such a young girl who could do things, she smiled and nodded at Susie.Then he shouted to the long braid in front, "Xiao Zhu, Su Xi, Tian Xiaohui, Qiao Mu, and Yuan Gang have already been assigned to the croissant production team. Don't repeat yourself."

The educated youths in the room all looked at Susie and the others.

A male educated youth with a crew cut said, "We came first and handed in the letter of introduction first, so why should we give them something special?" Then several people agreed.

There is also a female voice who said, "Of course she is special, she is the child of a high-ranking official."

Susie glanced at the place where the voice came from. A tall and thin girl, seeing Susie looking over, she quickly avoided her eyes.

When Director Zhang heard this, he stood up excitedly, "Special?"

"These little comrades caught the thief on the train, found the murder weapon on the thief, recovered the property losses of the people, and protected the lives of the people."

She vigorously raised the letter paper in her hand, "Comrades from the Railway Public Security Bureau, all letters of commendation have been written!"

"Such good comrades, what's wrong with us handling them first?"

Everyone was silent. Many educated youths were in the same carriage as Susie and they knew about their catching thieves.

The guy with the crew cut who said that Susie was special lowered his head in shame, and the tall, thin girl tried her best to hide behind others.

Director Zhang turned to Su Qian with a smile on his face again. Someone said that Su Xi was a child of a high-ranking official just now, but she heard it, and she said enthusiastically: "Now the autumn harvest, the production team is very busy, and no one is here to pick you up. You can go through it yourself."

When the Going to the Countryside Movement just started, the various communes responded to the call, and when they heard that there were educated youths coming, they enthusiastically sent people to greet them, and some exaggeratedly beat gongs and drums.

Now the educated youths are coming in batches, and each additional person will have an extra mouth to eat. Who has the enthusiasm to welcome them.

Thinking about her heavy luggage, Susie couldn't help but smile, "Director Zhang, is there a bus to go to the croissant production team?"
