After that, the voice that woke up the whole village every day was no longer Luo Youlong's, but Su Wenian's.
He would read a piece of news from the newspaper every day, and his voice sounded like the morning host on a radio show, which was very nice.
On the day when the educated youth came to report, Luo Youlong and his son Luo Zhongqiang went to Su's house before dawn.
"Are you ready?" Luo Youlong asked, "The car is coming to our village soon."
"It's quick, right away!" The person who spoke was Bai Lu.
She heard that Wen Nian would take a bus to the county to pick up educated youths early in the morning, so she got up in the dark at four o'clock to make steamed buns. Now she finally steamed the steamed buns and hurriedly put them into a brown paper bag.
"Take this with you to eat on the road." Bai Lu said and stuffed another five dollars into his son's hand.
Su Wennian hurriedly refused and said: "No, the captain will buy the ticket. I don't need to spend money. This steamed bun is enough."
"You rarely go to the county town, maybe you want to buy something? Besides, there are many people at the station. If you accidentally get separated from Captain Luo, if you don't have any money, how will you buy a ticket and take the bus back? You'd better bring some money with you.
good."
Seeing her mother's worried look, Su Wennian smiled and said, "How old am I? Are you still worried about me getting lost?"
"In your mother's eyes, no matter how old you are, you are still a child..."
Saying that, Bai Lu touched her son's head and said, "Okay, go quickly."
Su Wenian smiled and nodded, then quickly walked out of the house with a bag of steamed buns and money.
When we arrived at the village entrance, the sun had not yet risen, and the bus to the county seat had not yet passed through Luohu Village.
"You haven't had breakfast yet? My mother made this early in the morning." Su Wennian handed a steamed bun to Luo Youlong and Luo Zhongqiang respectively, and then ate one himself.
Although the steamed buns are oil-free and sugar-free, once you bite into them, your mouth will be filled with the aroma of wheat.
"Wen Nian, your mother is really nice," Luo Zhongqiang said after finishing half of the steamed buns. "It's not like my mother...she's too lazy to get up so early to cook for us. It's such a cold day for us to go out."
At that time, she was still sleeping under the quilt."
"My mother is so nice sometimes, I even ask her to get up in a special way..."
Luo Zhongqiang finished the remaining half of the bun and said, "She cares about you."
After listening to Wennian chatting with his son for a while, Luo Youlong said: "I used to hear that women in the city are lazy, but it seems they are all nonsense. Like Wennian, your mother is very hardworking. She is also good at growing vegetables. She is really amazing!"
"
As he said this, he thought of the educated youth who were coming to the village and couldn't help but said: "I hope the educated youth who came to our village today can get along as well as your family..."
As they were talking, the bus happened to arrive. After they got on the bus, Luo Youlong and the conductor sitting in the first row bought three tickets, and then after going through ups and downs along the way, they finally arrived at the county seat.
The five educated youths from the bus station arrived in the morning, and they are all from the same province.
"Hello, I am a high school graduate from the 68th class of Guangzhou No. 6 Middle School. My name is Liao Feihong."
"I am a high school graduate from the 68th class of Guangzhou No. 6 Middle School. My name is He Wenbin..."
All five of them are boys, and they are students from the same school and the same class, and were assigned together.
Luo Youlong shook hands with them one by one and said happily: "Oh, that's great. You are all high school graduates and educated young people. It is a great honor for our Luohu Village to accept you to join the team."
"Are we going to the countryside by car now?" Liao Feihong asked.
"Well, there are three other classmates who came by train. They will probably arrive in the afternoon. We have to go to the train station to pick them up. Why don't you go to the train station with us and wait?"
After Luo Youlong finished speaking, the tallest Liao Feihong said: "We brought a lot of luggage, and we have to carry it to the train station. It's not very convenient."
"Yes," He Wenbin said, "Can you send us to live in the village first?"
The other three boys listened and immediately agreed: "We want to see what the accommodation is like first. I heard that some rural areas place educated youth in pig pens. The walls are soaked with pig excrement and urine and are sticky. Not only do they have to live there,
In this kind of environment, you have to sleep, take a bath, and cook?”
"Ah?" Luo Youlong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hands and said, "How is this possible? The villagers in our village responded to the call and very much welcome you educated youths to come. It is absolutely impossible for you to live in a pig pen."
Liao Feihong asked: "Do you live with the villagers?"
"Uh, yes, it's like this..."
Faced with the somewhat aggressive attitude of several educated youths, Luo Youlong was trying to organize his words. Su Wenian said: "In order to prepare for the arrival of educated youths, our village is preparing to build a brand-new dormitory for educated youths. In addition to your living quarters, there are also bathing facilities."
Bathroom, and kitchen for cooking.
However, because time is too urgent, this house has not been built yet, so Captain Luo has arranged for you to temporarily live in an empty house that no one lives in. The house has been cleaned for you, so you can rest assured."
When he was talking, Liao Feihong looked him up and down. Seeing that his lips were red and his teeth were white, he didn't look like a farmer working in the fields at all. He couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
"I was a graduate of the 68th class of Jinghai People's Affiliated Middle School. My name is Su Wennian. I went to the countryside three months before you. Now I am the publicity committee member of the Luohu Village Production Team. Captain Luo asked me to pick you up just to let you know.
The current situation in Luohu Village."
Jinghai City People's Affiliated Middle School? Liao Feihong and He Wenbin, the five educated youths, were quite surprised. They didn't expect that Su Wenian came from Jinghai City, and his school sounded very good. It seemed to be a key high school...
"You are actually an educated youth too." Liao Feihong's attitude became more restrained.
He pursed his lips and continued: "Can we go to the village first? The other three educated youths don't know what time they will arrive in the afternoon. If it is too late, it may be dark when we return to the village, and it will be difficult to organize.
Luggage, right?”
Su Wennian thought for a while and said to Luo Youlong: "Captain Luo, I think they have quite a lot of luggage. How about you and Aqiang take them back to the village first? I'll go to the train station to pick up the other three educated youths."
"Are you alone?" Luo Youlong was originally surprised by Wen Nian's calm and unhurried performance just now, and now he was even more surprised, "Aren't you scared?"
Su Wenian smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? I went to the village from the train station before. I've memorized the route. Don't worry."
"But……"
Luo Youlong looked at the pile of luggage on the ground with a troubled expression.
These male educated youths are really serious. Why do they bring so many things with them? Did they move their families here?
"Captain, you don't have to worry about me, I will definitely bring the other three educated youths back to the village!" Su Wenian assured confidently.
Luo Youlong thought that this kid Wennian might be more capable than he thought, so it would be a good idea to let him exercise.
"Okay," Luo Youlong gave the ticket money to Su Wennian, and at the same time told him the time of the last bus in the afternoon, asking him to get back to the village by car before then. "If you don't pick up someone, you can come back by yourself."
