Wanyang took the candy in her hand, walked up to the group of children, threw her luggage on the ground, and put on a kind smile on her face.
"Children, do you know how to get to the village brigade?" she said, revealing the candy in her hand.
Those children were dressed in rags. Children in this era were basically free-range and dirty. When they saw the candy in Wanyang's hand, their eyes shone: "I know, I know! We will take you there."
.”
With that said, a group of children picked up the luggage on the ground and began to lead the way.
Wanyang and Xiang Lijuan were not polite and followed behind, all the way to the village brigade.
The building of the village brigade consists of two large tile-roofed houses. The exterior of the house is made of mud bricks. As soon as you enter the door, you will find a courtyard with two towering trees on both sides. The tree trunks are covered with wisteria. In such a hot summer, it looks particularly impressive.
Greenery.
However, in this age, Wanyang is not in the mood to appreciate flowers, plants and trees.
When she saw the children leading the way, they were all staring at the candy in her hand and their mouths were almost watering. She was not stingy and gave them two pieces each.
The children got the milk candy and ran away in a hurry.
But one of the boys, who was wearing the shabbiest clothes, looked like he was about ten years old. He was lingering on the spot and looked at Wanyang with some embarrassment: "Sister, can you give me another piece?"
The little boy may also know that it is not good for him to do this, so he quickly explained: "We have an older brother and a younger brother in our family. Two yuan...two yuan is not enough."
Seeing how sensible they were, Wanyang couldn't help but smile: "Okay!" After saying that, she took out another piece from her pocket and handed it to him.
The little boy was so happy that he stared at Wanyang with a pair of big round eyes full of hope.
Wan Yang saw that he looked a little cute, so she couldn't help but reach out and touch his head.
"Sister! Sister, thank you!" The little boy looked excited when he saw his head being touched.
"It doesn't matter!" Wanyang smiled: "This candy is not given to you for free. Can you help my sister find the captain of your village? Just say that there are two new female educated youths waiting for him in the village brigade."
"No problem!" The little boy nodded vigorously, turned around and ran away.
When there was no one around, Xiang Lijuan sat down on the luggage and snorted: "You haven't changed, you are still the same as before. You are still stupid and rich. The few toffees you just shared are half a catty, right?"
!”
When Wanyang heard this, she ignored her.
When she first arrived, it didn't matter if she lost some small things in the village. She didn't like sweets anyway, and she could quickly give the people in the village a friendly impression.
As for telling Lijuan that she is stupid and has too much money, it is not unfair at all.
The original owner had a fixed pocket money every month. He used to be reluctant to eat or spend it, so he would buy gifts for Xiang Jianping and send them to her every month. Occasionally, in order to please Xiang Lijuan, he would buy some gifts for her.
"Hey! Why don't you say anything?" Xiang Lijuan and Wanyang ignored her and became anxious.
Wanyang ignored her this time.
Seeing that Wanyang ignored her, Xiang Lijuan stood up, walked to Wanyang, and bumped her with her shoulder.
"Ouch." Wanyang's whole body fell to the side when she hit her like this.
Xiang Lijuan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly grabbed Wanyang's arm to avoid being thrown into the mud.
Wanyang rubbed her arms, raised her head and glared at her.
Xiang Lijuan didn't care, and still looked at Wanyang with a smile: "Hey! Wanyang, I find it comfortable to look at you like this. You don't know how much I hated your dog-legged behavior before."
Wanyang was full of negative thoughts towards her again. This girl looked bad, but she wasn't bad, but she was a little too straightforward when she spoke!
Just as she was about to speak, an old man wearing a straw hat and a racer vest walked in with a sickle.
Seeing that they were two girls, the uncle even put his sickle back and said, "Are you two new educated youths? I'm really sorry, girl. The village is busy harvesting wheat right now. I forgot to pick you up at the entrance of the village."
"It's okay! I guess you should be the captain." Wanyang put down the hand that was rubbing his shoulders and went up to say hello: "Captain, hello! We are educated youths who were just brought in by the instructor. We just got off the train this morning. My name is Wanyang.
.”
"Hello, captain! My name is Xiang Lijuan."
"Hello! I am Li Ergui, the captain of Shanghe Village. The Educated Youth Institute has already arranged accommodation for you. I will take you there to clean up first. After lunch, I will ask my family to take you to know our village."
Although Li Ergui didn't show much enthusiasm for them, he didn't dislike them like the uncle who drove the car.
On the way to the Educated Youth Home, I helped them carry their luggage.
…
There is no one in the Educated Youth Court now, everyone has gone to work.
The yard is not big, but it is relatively clean, and the house is very simple.
There are two tile-roofed houses and a kitchen. Wanyang was mentally prepared before coming. Now that the conditions are not good, he would definitely sleep in Datongbu when he was an educated youth.
Xiang Lijuan was not happy when she saw this environment. She seemed not to stick to small details, but after all, her family conditions were good. She had been in a room by herself since she was a child. How could she suddenly get used to the earthen walls and pits here.
"Just take out your bedding and put it on the kang. Originally, there were two female educated youths in our village. One of them got sick and returned to the city a few days ago. As for how you sleep at night, you girls have to discuss it yourself." Li Ergui looked at this.
Two girls with delicate skin and tender flesh are worried.
I thought: If the two boys come here, they can still do some work, but what can the girls do if they are not strong enough?
"Okay, sorry for the trouble, captain!"
Wanyang thanked him and moved his luggage into the house.
"Okay, you two can clean up here. I have something to do, so I'll go to the fields first." After the captain finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Xiang Lijuan has been frowning since she saw such an environment: "How can I sleep like this!"
"You've come here, you can't regret going back! Fortunately, there was only one female educated youth living in this house before. A cousin of mine who went to the countryside came back during the Chinese New Year and said that in the countryside, seven or eight female educated youths crowded into one small house.
.”
Seeing that the girl was not a nuisance, Wanyang comforted her with words, then took out his own bedding, unfolded it and placed it on the kang.
Xiang Lijuan saw that Wanyang was so active, so she didn't dare to lag behind.
When Wanyang came in, he saw a well in the yard. The two of them packed up their bedding, took a washbasin to the bottom of the well, got some water, and scrubbed it.
Wanyang thought that she would go to the village after dinner, so she changed into a white shirt, military green pants and military green rubber shoes.
This is the most fashionable dress in this era, and it is also the only one that the original body can wear. Wanyang really can't wear other colorful clothes when going out.
The blue shirt she was wearing when she arrived was found in Wan's mother's wardrobe.
Xiang Lijuan is a daughter of a high-ranking official. She also has green army pants, rubber shoes, and a white shirt.
Seeing that Wanyang's clothes looked good, she didn't take out hers and put them on.
At noon, the educated youths came back and got to know each other. Wanyang and Xiang Lijuan took the initiative to hand over food stamps and had a hot meal.
After meal.
Li Ergui's daughter-in-law came to the Educated Youth Institute and wanted to take them around the village.
