Reborn in the red age

Chapter 31 What are you looking at?

The train arrived at the station at night. Qingfeng Li got off the train carrying large and small bags. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he felt a dizziness in his mind, and he felt as if the ground was shaking.

Qingfeng Li calmed down and knew that this feeling was due to riding on the green train for several days. His body had adapted to the rhythm of the train, and he could recover within a day after getting off the train.

Putting down the large and small bags in her hands, she helped Hu Jiabao take down her luggage. This girl brought a lot of luggage, two large packages and a small bundle. If Li Qingfeng didn't help, Hu Jiabao is quite busy.

Helping Hu Jiabao carry a large package, the two walked out of the platform together, found the reception point of the Educated Youth Office at the station, and took out their own Educated Youth Certificates to explain the situation.

There are not many railway lines these days. The train cannot go directly to the county town where I go to the countryside. It stops directly in the city. The bus station is also closed at night. I can only stay in the city for one night and wait until tomorrow. Take a bus from the bus station to the county seat.

After the staff at the reception point verified their identities, they took the two of them to the guest house next to the station and gave each of them a bed.

When he arrived at the guest house room, Qingfeng Li, who had been on the train for several days, really didn't have the energy to chat with the other residents in the room. He simply washed up, lay down on the bed and fell asleep with his head covered.

After breakfast the next day, the two of them, accompanied by the staff at the reception point, went to the bus station to catch a bus to the county where they went to the countryside.

"No, comrade driver, are you sure you want me to sit in this seat?"

After buying the ticket at the bus station, Li Qingfeng stood at the front of the bus, looking at the luggage rack on the roof and fell into deep thought.

The driver jumped out of the driver's seat window, looked up at the space specially reserved for Qingfeng Li on the luggage rack, and nodded: "Yes, that's your place. Come on up, we're ready to leave."

With these words, the driver patted Qingfeng Li on the shoulder and jumped back into the cab through the wide-open window.

After looking at the driver who urged him to get in the car, and then at Hu Jiabao who was almost squeezed out of shape, Qingfeng Li sighed deeply and slowly climbed to the roof of the car through the ladder on the car body.

"Comrade educated youth on the roof of the car, hold on to the luggage rack. Don't fall. I'm about to leave." The driver stuck his head out of the window and shouted at Qingfeng Li. Black smoke filled the air, and the bus slowly drove forward with a groan.

The bus quickly drove out of the city and swayed forward on the dirt road in the suburbs. Qingfeng Li's body swayed with the body of the car and he held on to the luggage rack for fear of accidentally being thrown off the roof of the car.

Several times when he passed through a big pothole, Qingfeng Li's buttocks were lifted off the roof of the car. If he hadn't gritted his teeth and grabbed the luggage rack, he might have failed.

What made Qingfeng Li uncomfortable was not only the swaying car body, but also the dust in the sky. There were no concrete roads these days, all were dirt roads, and the sky was filled with loess as soon as the car passed by.

As long as Qingfeng Li opened his mouth on the roof of the car, he would be filled with a mouthful of sand, which made Qingfeng Li extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, someone got off the car midway. After five or six people got off the car, the driver asked Qingfeng Li to get off the roof and squeeze into the car.

Qingfeng Li, who was squeezing into the car, suddenly felt that the roof of the car was not bad. Has it ever happened to a car full of people with their feet dangling in the air?This horse can catch up with the morning rush hour of Sijiu City in later generations. Where did so many people come from?

In this summer, there is no air conditioning in the car. The smell of human sweat, various miscellaneous smells, and the strong smell of gasoline are mixed together. It cannot be described as sour and refreshing.When the car stopped in the county, Li Qingfeng was okay, but Hu Jiabao, a sweet girl with a round face who loved cleanliness, was so exhausted along the way that she stumbled to the grass on the side of the road and started vomiting.

Qingfeng Li stayed where he was looking at the luggage, and did not go forward to pat her on the back or anything. He felt uncomfortable in his stomach. If he had seen the things she vomited in the past, maybe the person vomiting on the other side of the grass would be someone. It became two.

When Hu Jiabao came back after vomiting, Li Qingfeng was shocked when he saw her face. The girl was already pale, but now she was even paler. There was no color on her face, and she looked as sickly as a female ghost.

After thinking for a while, Qingfeng Li took out the kettle that Mother Li had given him before from his shoulder bag: "Hu Jiabao, I have water here. I haven't drunk it yet. If you don't mind, you can drink some."

It was so difficult to go to the toilet in the train. Qingfeng Li could do without water. For more than three days, he still hadn't drank the bottle of cold water that Li's mother gave him.

Hu Jiabao hesitated for a moment, smiled and shook his head, but did not pick up Qingfeng Li's kettle.

This result was within Qingfeng Li's expectation. Girls of this era were different from those of later generations. Qingfeng Li did not force it. He shrugged and put the water bottle back in his satchel.

After resting on a bench at the bus station for a while, and after Hu Jiabao regained some strength, the two of them started on the road again carrying large and small bags.

The reception point at the train station notified the local Educated Youth Office in advance. As soon as they left the bus station, they got on the three-wheeled motorcycle that came to pick them up and went straight to the Educated Youth Office.

After the two people reported to the local Educated Youth Office with their IDs, they were led by people from the local Educated Youth Office to meet Zhu Xihong, the captain of the Qingshan Brigade, who had been waiting at the Educated Youth Office early to pick them up.

The captain of the Qingshan Brigade is a dark and thin old man who looks to be in his 50s. Li Qingfeng actually doesn't know how old he is. In their generation, one generation has suffered the hardships of three generations, and they all look older.

The captain was quite kind to the two of them. Seeing Hu Jiabao's weak face, he said repeatedly: "Girl, get on the bullock cart and have a rest. It's been really hard all the way here."

When the two followed the captain to the bullock cart, there were already two people waiting on the bullock cart. They were also a man and a woman. It seemed that they had arrived long ago.

"You are all educated youths who came to our brigade this time. The two of them arrived yesterday, one day earlier than you." Upon seeing this, the brigade leader quickly introduced the four of them.

The two men on the oxcart, the man is called Wang Weimin and he is from Sijiucheng. He is tall, thin and very energetic.The girl is a local northeastern girl from Black Province, her name is Ma Wenhui, she has two pigtails, she is very heroic, and she can be considered a beauty, but her skin is not that fair, and she has a completely different style from Hu Jiabao.

The four of them got to know each other briefly, sat on the bullock cart together, and prepared to wait for the captain to return and set off.

While waiting, Ma Wenhui was probably bored. Under Qingfeng Li's dumbfounded gaze, she took out an old-fashioned cigarette pot from her bag and started smoking.

Perhaps noticing Qingfeng Li's gaze, Ma Wenhui put down her cigarette rod, stared at Qingfeng Li and said, "What are you looking at?"
