Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 454, departure

Yang Xiaole left school and returned home.

As soon as she got home, Wang Qiuju asked him anxiously: "Why are you back so late! What do you say about your sister?"

"Don't worry, I just went to school to participate in the school's pep rally."

After Yang Xiaole sat down, he explained, and then said: "We have been contacted over there. My senior brother is there now. He should be able to get the person there. Even if he can't get through, he is familiar with it there. Let someone take care of him. Still no problem.”

After hearing this, Wang Qiuju felt relieved.

Then he looked decadent: "One or two of them are disobedient. What if something happens?"

Except for the last time I went to Northwest China, the children at home have never left my side.

This time there are two, one in the east and one in the west, thousands of kilometers apart.

How could she feel relieved?

Wang Qiuju is not too worried about Yang Xiaole.

Their compound is also about to start, but they are waiting for notification from the street civil defense team to see how it will be handled then.

Just like the sent-down youths going to the countryside, it only takes about ten days from the notification to the start of operations to the arrangement of work arrangements for rear personnel to receive them.

This is prepared for Yang Xiaole.

But logically speaking, Teacher Fang is almost coming back. After all, he is just a junior high school teacher.

I won’t feel homesick for the time being.

"Dig deep holes, accumulate food widely, don't seek hegemony, prepare for war, prepare for famine, and serve the people!"

In the evening, Yang Xiaole said hello and said he wouldn't be back that night, and left directly.

As a "children who can educate well", go to the countryside to study.

The execution is absolutely nothing to say.

Yang Xiaole naturally knew that this would not happen.

It is estimated that not many people will be happy this year.

The most exciting thing right now is Qianmen Street. There is an underground city being built at the bottom, and the people nearby are joining the battle.

The sister-in-law nodded: "Well, dad and your eldest brother have both gone to work. This tunnel needs to be dug, and our compound is about to start."

I guess this girl will feel homesick in a few months.

Arrive at Qu Ying’s home.

When they arrived at the place, Qu Ying was sitting there eating noodles. There was a bowl of noodles opposite the Kang table.

However, he didn't know whether the Production and Construction Corps would train in winter.

In the land of China, as long as you want to do something, the speed is absolutely extremely fast.

However, her family's status is special.

Yang Xiaole looked at the sister-in-law and the three children in the house and asked, "Where are the elder brothers? Have they gone to work?"

Any large-scale unit or factory will have to dig out.

Yang Xiaole also clicked his tongue when he saw this.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded.

Then he thought of something and asked: "Are you going to school? Why are you going to school? You don't want to go, right?"

Yang Xiaole shrugged: "What do you think? We are all going to go there in the future anyway, so you can count them all. I will go over there, and my little sister will be taken care of, and I will get her back as soon as possible."

I have become accustomed to running away often and never coming back.

It is enough to explain the current situation.

Many places have already begun exercises.

It's definitely not the case now. It's the slack time for the farmers, and a group of people went over and had a lively chat.

The people are very nervous.

The little girl who lived in her house before also left. It is said that she went to the countryside with her parents.

This day, the compound was spent in this gloomy atmosphere.

He glanced at the Fang family with the locked door opposite. According to the rules, Fang Mengmeng didn't have to go.

Hearing this, I waved my hands helplessly: "Okay, another one, let's go, let's go! Hey~"

After all, this guy is agile enough.

It was to deal with Lao Maozi's so-called surgical attack.

When the farming season gets busy, I’ll probably give in.

It's probably going to be soon.

In view of the current situation, agencies and units in the Fourth and Nine Cities will basically start digging air-raid shelters in their units or compounds.

However, he could also feel the tension spreading among the people, because no one knew whether a fight was possible.

Yang Xiaole closed the courtyard door and the main room door, walked in, and said with a smile: "You haven't eaten yet!"

Qu Ying smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't that waiting for you? I just made it, eat it while it's hot."

As he spoke, he stroked his hair and started eating.

Yang Xiaole was not polite either.

Shredded pork noodles!
And it was just made.

"Do you have something to talk about?"

Qu Ying took a bite and asked with a smile.

Yang Xiaole took a bite and nodded: "Well, I have something to do. I may have to go to the mountains and countryside in a while to join the queue in the countryside!"

These words made Qu Ying pause for a moment.

He nodded calmly: "I know!"

After saying that, he took a bite of noodles, raised his head and said with a smile: "Give me a child!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about! If you are pregnant in this situation, what will happen?"

Qu Ying heard this and said nonchalantly: "What's the matter? When the time is almost up, I will go to my mother's place to give birth to the child. Anyway, it's okay if I don't tell who the father is."

Yang Xiaole looked at her angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense! The Chinese New Year is just over a month away. I'm already 26. Look at how many people my age in the city are not married. I'm not begging you to marry me."

Looking at Qu Ying's calm words, Yang Xiaole knew that she was not joking.

I'm 23 now after the New Year.

Although Qu Ying has reached her age, her body is naturally very hydrated due to year-round nourishment from well water.

There is no difference from him.

And he was confident that, if nothing unexpected happened, the two of them would be able to live for a long time in the future.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Wait for another two years. When I have enough fun outside, I will come back and get married."

These words left Qu Ying stunned.

There was no calmness just now, as if he didn't hear clearly, he quickly asked: "What did you just say?"

"I said that when I have enough fun outside, I will come back and get married. Marry you~ marry you openly..."

Qu Ying lowered her head when she heard this and continued eating.

But the big teardrops fell into the bowl.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaole sighed.

After thinking for a while, he pretended to be sad and said: "Hey, look at you. I heard that marrying me is so sad. I thought you would be happy! If you don't want to, forget it."

Qu Ying wiped her tears after hearing this.

Her tears turned into a smile, and then she looked up at him angrily: "You're so annoying!"

"Hehe, isn't that right? Wait for me! Although I say I'm not a good person, I won't act irresponsibly."

Yang Xiaole said something and then wiped his tears.

Qu Ying shook her head: "You won't be honest. Don't bring a bunch of dolls with you when you go to the countryside. Then I will probably go crazy."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes.

Seeing this, Qu Ying hesitated and asked, "Then... what should we do with your little sweetheart in Hong Kong?"

This question stopped him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qu Ying snorted.

But she didn't ask anymore. His reaction just now could tell her the answer.

After eating, wash the rice bowl and return to the room.

Looking at the thing in Yang Xiaole's hand, he felt strange: "What is that?"

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Oh, this is a good thing!"

"For what?"

I came over to take a look out of curiosity, but didn't see anything interesting.

Yang Xiaole raised his hand to her and smiled mysteriously: "Come on, I'll tell you what you're doing!"

Qu Ying came over curiously: "What! You're so confused!"

But after hearing what he said, Qu Ying blushed and shouted: "Yang Xiaole, who do you think I am, I won't do it~~"

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this, hugged her and said with a smile, "It's not up to you!"

This woman is too conservative and cannot accept many new things.

But there’s a first time for everything!

Just get used to it.

"Yang Xiaole~~you...wuwu..."

Before he finished speaking, his mouth was sealed.

…………

More than an hour later, Yang Xiaole felt comfortable.

Qu Ying, on the other hand, was hiding in bed, with tears stained on her face, and hitting him from time to time with a jade jade.

"You bastard, who did you learn this from?"

Yang Xiaole chuckled.

comfortable.

I’ll try it next time I go to Hong Kong Island to find Hua Yourong!

"You are getting bolder and bolder now!"

He hugged her, wiped away her tears, and said, "Okay, let's chat for a while. I don't know when the notice will come out. It's probably only in the past few days. I'll explain some things to you!"

I heard him talk about leaving.

Qu Ying didn't struggle, she just felt uncomfortable.

The two chatted there for a long time.

……

The next morning, Qu Ying went to work, and Yang Xiaole woke up from her sleep in no hurry.

There is also a portion of millet porridge cooked in the morning.

After eating, he left.

Back home, someone went to see me off in the courtyard today.

The entire compound was still in mourning.

My sister-in-law and my mother are staying at home with their three children.

When I returned home, I felt a little uncomfortable seeing that Xizi and Xiaoli, who were always chirping, were not at home.

Wang Qiuju looked at him and muttered: "Xizi and Xiaoli are not here, and the family is not very popular to begin with, so why don't you leave home!"

Yang Xiaole chuckled.

Seeing that there was nothing going on at home, he was going to go out to play. Anyway, he had nothing to do.

Didn't go anywhere else.

Instead, he went straight to school.

When we arrived at the place, it was still as lively as before. During this period, students would leave every day.

He had to fulfill his promise to Gu Lan.

When I got to the place, I went straight to the teacher's office.

"Teacher Han!"

After coming over, he looked at the person who was registering in the office and called out softly.

There were several people in the office at this time.

When they saw him, they all smiled and nodded as a greeting.

The most difficult time that year, if it weren't for Yang Xiaole.

It is estimated that several of them must die.

Han Jingxuan was also surprised when he saw him: "What's wrong? Do you want to change the place where you jump in line? I already submitted this form yesterday."

He thought Yang Xiaole regretted it.

It is true that you can change it, as long as you don't stop doing it.

It's just a little troublesome.

Yang Xiaole came over and shook his head with a smile: "No, I have other things to do."

In Han Jingxuan's doubts, he began to say: "It's like this, our school should have quotas for rural production and construction corps, right?"

This matter is not a secret.

So Yang Xiaole didn't hide it. Anyway, he was just here for consultation.

Han Jingxuan nodded: "Well, there are a few, what's wrong? You can go, right? If you want to go, you will definitely be able to pass!"

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "No, I would like to ask if Gu Lan, Liu Heping and Wang Erzhu from our class can come over?"

This is the most formal way to go.

Without this, he has other options.

Han Jingxuan thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, yes, but... this requires the consent of many teachers! And in the end, it needs to be reviewed by the military propaganda team."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said: "I know! That's why I came here to ask. When they were guarding the warehouse behind, they didn't make it difficult for you, and they even covered it for you..."

Although the final decision of the school is still made by the military propaganda team.

But after all, they don't understand Gu Lan's situation, and the teacher knows better.

Under normal circumstances, the candidates they recommend can be approved if there are no problems after review.

After people like Han Jingxuan had their hair removed, they still acted cautiously, but the middle-level people still had the rights.

This was also the reason why he came to Han Jingxuan first.

People like Gu Lan are well-educated and there are no problems with the review, so the only thing left is recommendation.

Han Jingxuan thought about it for a while and said awkwardly: "I can't make the decision on this. It needs the consent of several teachers. The resettlement office also needs to stamp it before it can be passed."

(It’s not called the Educated Youth Office yet!)

"It's okay. If it doesn't work, forget it!"

Yang Xiaole said nonchalantly that if it didn't work, he would use other methods.

Han Jingxuan thought for a while and smiled: "Okay, I'll go ask you. Just wait a moment!"

After that, he walked outside. Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaole nodded and said hello to the people in the class and came out.

After waiting there for a long time, Han Jingxuan came back.

He said happily: "Okay, I have contacted several teachers, and we will make joint recommendations at that time. Whether it can pass depends on whether the leader of the military propaganda team agrees or not."

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this: "Thank you then!"

"Hey, don't be in a hurry to thank me! It's us who should thank you!"

Han Jingxuan said with a smile, then sighed and said, "Those teachers did not agree because of Gu Lan's face, but because of your face, Yang Xiaole."

Rural students go to the XPCC partly because of recommendations from students, and partly because of recommendations from teachers.

Of course, it will ultimately have to pass the review of the military propaganda team.

Nowadays, students themselves are busy thinking of solutions, so they naturally have no time to care about this. All that remains is the recommendations of teachers.

These teachers are scared!

Although there was nothing that could be done about what happened before, these children cannot be entirely blamed.

But it is impossible to say that there is no complaint in my heart.

It just so happened that Yang Xiaole, plus Gu Lan and the others took good care of them at that time, but if it were someone else.

Know what they eat.

Something big is definitely going to happen to that guy.

Yang Xiaole nodded when he saw this: "Thank you then!"

"Hey, you're welcome. It's settled that you jump in line and you won't change it. If you want to change it, just go to the military propaganda team and see if they have queued up the car. If not, there will still be time. "

"It's settled and I won't change it. That's okay, you're busy, I'll go back first."

Yang Xiaole said hello and then left the school.

Since the school can solve it, he doesn't have to think of other solutions.

After coming out, I rode my bike and rushed home.

At this time, the roads were full of teams of educated youth going to the countryside, rushing towards the train station.

There are several special trains departing from Sijiu City every day and heading to distant places.

He didn't care about Gu Lan's affairs anymore.

Just wait for the notification to come down later and he can pay a little attention to it.

But he had to lament the speed at this time!
The people in the compound here haven’t left yet!

The good news with gongs and drums was sent home.

But think about it, this time going to the countryside is unprecedented in terms of its large number of people, the number of families involved, the intensity of mobilization, and the depth of its impact at home and abroad.

"Xiao Le, your notice has arrived!"

As soon as he came in, he heard Aunt Wang shouting to him.

Yang Xiaole parked the car and heard Uncle Wang's voice.

The mother and sister-in-law at the door heard the commotion and came out.

He nodded to Aunt Wang and hurried to the door of the main room.

My mother looked sad.

The sister-in-law, on the other hand, held the notice in her hand with a complicated look on her face and looked at him like this: "Xiao Le!"

Yang Xiaole nodded and took the notice over.

After looking at it, the address was still where I wanted to go.

But the departure time is ten days later.

Then he smiled at my mother who was wiping her tears and said, "Mom, don't worry, this place is right next to my little sister, and my senior brother is right next to me and can take care of me!"

After hearing this, I was relieved: "Really?"

"Really! I specially applied to the school!"

Hearing this, the old lady was confused and said: "But... I heard that there is going to be a war over there. Is it true? Is it going to be dangerous?"

Yang Xiaole shook his head and said with a smile: "There are so many battles to fight! No way! If I can, my senior brother will tell me."

The big ones can't be beaten, and the small ones won't break.

The problem is not big.

I was still a little worried after hearing this.

But there is nothing I can do now. It’s all like this. What can I do? I can only lament: “How come it’s so fast!”

Yang Xiaole also nodded.

Really fast!
This is not surprising.

If transportation wasn't a problem, I'd probably be able to take them all away before the end of the year!

When the family came back in the evening, they all sighed softly when they learned about Yang Xiaole's specific departure time.

After the announcement, everyone knew that this day was inevitable.

Yang Xiaole looked at the depressed people and didn't say anything.

Xizi and Xiaoli are disobedient, otherwise, he has many ways to prevent them from going to the mountains and countryside.

Even Xizi has not completely decided.

Live it!

But he was embarrassed to say this, otherwise he would definitely make the whole family look down upon him.

The next step is to prepare before leaving.

After eating, looking at his elder brother who was about to go out, he called him over alone.

The eldest brother knew that he must have something to explain.

Then he followed him into the house.

Xizi is not here, so he sleeps in this room alone now, but he doesn't come back very often.

After the eldest brother saw him coming in, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaole said directly: "Brother, if I leave, you will be alone at home. When I get there, I will send you a telegram. If you have something urgent, just send me an urgent telegram. Don't worry about money."

"Yeah. I know!"

"Also, I won't leave too much money at home. If my parents want to buy something, just give them money. Sister-in-law, please tell me. Originally, I was going to leave more for you, but it's too much. It’s not appropriate, you keep the money.”

Yang Xiaole handed him the money.

The eldest brother looked at the money and smiled: "Okay, you can take the money yourself. I am not short of this money, your eldest brother! You have always been responsible for the house, so don't worry. I'm here!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and handed the money to him: "Take it! It's not much, just a thousand yuan. This is for emergencies. Besides, it's not like I won't come back."

The eldest brother is now a level 19 clerk and a level 1 clerk.

The salary of 78 yuan, including subsidies, is already more than yuan.

All expenses for food and drink are paid for by the family.

So the eldest brother lived a very prosperous life.

After high-priced products are released, there is basically no shortage of delicious food and drinks at home.

But after all, they already have a family.

There is no need to worry about this little money.

Money is not everything, but having money can solve many daily worries!

After hearing what he said, the eldest brother hesitated and put it away.

Seeing that he accepted it, Yang Xiaole said nothing.

My mother still has at least a thousand dollars in her hand. The problem is that the old couple are reluctant to use this money. No matter how much they give, it will be useless.

Then he explained the situation again.

I told him everything including Dalong’s contact information.

Feeling that nothing was missing, the eldest brother took the child and left.

In the next few days, Yang Xiaole also went to Dalong's place to make arrangements, his uncle's place, and Chen Dalin's place.

Everything that can be explained has been explained.

As for the well water, I naturally would not forget to explain it to my family.

……

Time slowly came to the day of departure.

This morning, Yang Xiaole left his bicycle at home and forcibly refused to be sent by his family, so he came to the school alone.

He couldn't bear to watch the tearful scene.

It's better not to send it.

Others go there to suffer, but he goes there to have fun and experience life, so why is it like this?

I can't tell anyone.

The school was very lively at this time.

Beat gongs and drums.

The radio is playing: The song of sailing on the sea depends on the helmsman.

"Xiao Le!"

When he arrived at the place, he saw Feng Aijun waving to him, accompanied by excited Gu Lan and others.

In the past few days, it has been known that Gu Lan and the others have been agreed to join the Production and Construction Corps.

And just like the people in the class.

They all went to the second division.

The three of them are still in the same group.

But we are not in the same group as my little sister.

Gu Lan looked at him coming over and handed him a big red flower with a smile: "Here, I have prepared it for you a long time ago!"

Yang Xiaole took it with a smile.

Looking at the shy Guan Yingying next to her, she smiled and said, "I heard you went to the northwest?"

Guan Yingying nodded: "Yes, Yan A."

Yang Xiaole smiled, it was not the same train.

"Okay, let's go quickly! Don't waste time, the team going to the Northeast is starting."

Feng Aijun saw that the large army had set off and urged Yang Xiaole.

Hear this.

Yang Xiaole turned around to look and nodded.

"Okay, let's go!"

Hearing this, Gu Lan hugged Guan Yingying and cried: "Yingying, let's go!"

And Guan Yingying was also wiping tears.

After all, we have been together day and night for eight years.

It's impossible to say that we are not sad because we are so far apart this time.

For a time, the audience was crying and laughing.

Most of the people who cried were those seeing off and saying goodbye, and most of the people who laughed were these students.

Yang Xiaole said hello to everyone, went over to register, and set off with the large group.

A large group of people arrived at the train station.

At this time, too many people gathered here at the train station, reluctantly saying goodbye.

Yang Xiaole came to the place with his luggage on his back and saw Qu Ying wiping tears there.

He quickly said hello to Feng Aijun and ran over.

"Didn't I say I wouldn't let you deliver it? Why are you still here?"

Qu Ying didn't say anything, just looked at him.

I wanted to hug the man in front of me, but I gave up in the end. Hugging between men and women these days is a big taboo.

Yang Xiaole doesn't have so many taboos.

At worst, just say they are siblings!
He stepped forward and gave him a hug.

Then he wiped her tears with his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't cry. I have nothing to do over there, so I'll be back! Wait for me!"

"Ok!"

Qu Ying was crying and nodding.

"Xiao Le, let's go and get in the car!"

In the distance, Feng Aijun shouted.

Yang Xiaole turned to look, then turned back and said with a smile: "Okay, stop crying, I'm leaving first! Wait for me!"

Then he turned around and left.

Qu Ying was left covering her mouth and crying.

……

"Hurry up, we're in carriage six!"

Feng Aijun said something to him, urging him to leave quickly.

Yang Xiaole nodded, looked at Gu Lan and the others and asked, "Where are Gu Lan and the others?"

"Oh, they are from the Corps Farm and are in another carriage."

Yang Xiaole hummed and followed the person to the designated carriage.

There was a crowd of people crowded at the door.

"Okay, hurry up! There won't be any seats for a while."

Feng Aijun urged.

Because there were already many boys and girls clambering on the bus.

Yang Xiaole followed up.

These people are all dressed in the same uniform.

He was carrying a bag under a quilt and carrying a net bag in his hand, which contained enamel dishes, lunch boxes and other things.

They collided together and made a ping-pong sound.

"this!"

Feng Aijun grabbed an empty spot in a row and put his things there to occupy the spot.

Yang Xiaole saw this and walked over, put down his things and sat there.

After sitting down, I looked at the noisy carriage.

There were many people in the same class and grade in the carriage.

Everyone was chatting there.

Half an hour later, there were many people at the train windows crying and saying goodbye to their families on the platform.

Accompanied by the whine of the train, the car started.

Full of passionate young people. Heading towards the place where they vowed to take root for the rest of their lives.

PS: I originally wanted to write about the Construction Corps, but I didn’t dare!
