Chapter 36 Arrival at the Southwest Brigade
Chapter 36 Arrival at the Southwest Brigade
After trying it out, Chu Yuan threw the truth into the space again and continued to sleep. Fortunately, no one came to disturb her during this sleep. Chu Yuan got off the boat with her things and wandered on the sea for two days. Her initial excitement calmed down because it was too slow.
In the future, she will definitely build the fastest submarine and travel around the underwater world to see what kinds of things eat people and what kinds of things people eat.
Chu Yuan was sent to the Southwest Brigade by Yao Yu. Among the group of educated youth who went to the countryside at that time, only Chu Yuan arrived first. The others were still on the train and would take another two days to arrive.
Yao Yu drove to the entrance of the Southwest Brigade village. When he saw the military vehicles coming, many people ran over to see and chattered non-stop.
The captain rushed here after receiving the news. This was the first time he had received such a notification from the military district. He thought that this educated youth had a powerful family background, but he didn't expect that he got off the train midway to catch human traffickers.
Thinking of this, Li Guawan was immediately impressed. Nowadays, every child is a treasure of the family. It is those damn human traffickers who take children away from their biological parents and send them to suffer in other places.
When he saw the vehicle approaching, Li Guawan stood on tiptoe to look, trying to see clearly who was in the car, but after a while, Li Guawan rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
What! You said such a beautiful young woman could catch a human trafficker with her bare hands?
There weren't many people gathered around, because most of them were still working, mostly children or middle-aged women.
Cars were a scarce commodity in those days, and their Southwest Brigade was extremely poor. They could only see ox carts and donkey carts, and had never seen anything with four wheels running on the ground. They all crowded over to join in the fun.
"Hey! Isn't this the car from the Southwest Military Region? How did it get here? Our team is coming!"
"Does our team have relatives in the military district or something? He must be a very high-ranking official! He can even drive over here!"
"This car looks really cool! My son is in the Southwest Army. Could it be my son?"
"Auntie Li, you are talking nonsense. Don't you know how long your son has been in prison? You are dreaming that you can be promoted to such a high position!"
"Hey! Look quickly, a beautiful girl got out of the car. She is very fair and clean. She looks so pretty in her military uniform! Is this the daughter of some leader?"
"Our captain has passed by, what's going on?"
Li Guawan stepped forward and asked, "This is Chu Yuan, the educated youth, right?"
Chu Yuan smiled and nodded, "You must be the team leader, I am Chu Yuan, an educated youth who came here to build the city."
He is the one in charge of this team, so we must get closer to him, because we may have to ask the captain for help in the future anyway.
Yao Yu handed the things to Chu Yuan, said hello to Li Guawan, and drove away.
After seeing the car leave, not many people stayed to watch, but there were still many ladies who stayed, waiting to get the first-hand information.
"Welcome Comrade Chu to our Southwest Brigade to build the country. I am Li Guawan, the brigade's leader. You can come to me if you have anything."
"There are some educated youth who came here before. You are the last one to arrive. I will take you there when you have packed your things."
Chu Yuan was a little confused by the captain's enthusiasm.
Didn't the ancient books say that many farmers didn't like the educated youth who went to the countryside? They said that the people from the city didn't understand anything and only caused trouble, so they didn't like the educated youth who went to the countryside.
but--
Chu Yuan doesn't care. If he can't figure it out, then he won't try. He will just accept it with peace of mind.
The captain must have his reasons for doing this.
"Then I'll trouble you, Captain. I'll come to you if I need you." Chu Yuan's smile made Li Guawan speechless. Could he say that he was just being polite? Who would have thought that this little girl, who looked smart, couldn't understand other meanings.
But now that the words were out, Li Guawan couldn't say anything else but smiled and nodded. Chu Yuan also followed the team leader towards the Youth League Institute.
Seeing that everyone had left, the ladies at the back started to discuss the matter.
"That girl is an educated youth? You can't tell at all. She looks so innocent. Would her family let her come down here to suffer? Did she do something wrong in the city? Or is her family background not good?"
"How can that be possible! Look at the captain's attitude. If he really did something wrong, he wouldn't do this!"
"That's right, that's right. Look at that little girl, she's wearing a military uniform. She looks like someone who has done something bad."
"I don't care if she did anything bad or not. Aren't all the educated youth the same? Look at this little girl. She can't lift anything with her hands or shoulders. How many work points can she earn? Don't come and steal our food."
"Yes, no matter what she does, we can't share the food with her. The captain is so nice, let him share it with his family, but he can't take ours."
"Yes, yes, look at which educated youth who just came here can get full work points! But they can't share the food we worked so hard to earn!"
"But this looks like a powerful background. People from the Southwest Military Region drove us here. Let's not cause any trouble. Stay as far away from them as possible!"
"Okay, okay, what are you talking about? It's almost time to get off work, why don't you go home to cook? What will your men and women eat when they come back? Are you going to dig loaches in the fields?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who were gathered around hurriedly went home, and their children were also taken home.
……
Chu Yuan also followed the footsteps and came to the educated youth site. Li Guawan introduced: "The educated youth have not yet finished their work, and there is no one inside. There are quite a lot of educated youth coming here this time, and the houses in the front are almost uninhabitable. I asked people to build a row of houses in the back, which are single rooms."
"But it was built by the villagers, and if you want to live in it, it costs five cents a month."
"You who came first can choose to live in the front or the back. The front is a shared dormitory, free of charge."
Chu Yuan had been thinking about squeezing into a bed and she was going crazy, but she didn’t expect that she could get a single room. That’s really great!
After observing the construction of the backyard, she said, "Captain, can you tell me which side of the backyard I should choose? I'm just a little girl and I don't know how to choose."
Li Guawan gave some suggestions, "Build a big pot in the backyard, close to the house over there, and put all the supplies on the side close to the big pot. You can choose to live in that house. Our villagers are on the other side of the wall, so just call us if you need anything."
"I don't recommend going there, because a few miles away is a cowshed, and the people living there are all of bad background. It's better for you, a little girl, to live here."
Chu Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he pointed directly at a place, "I live there!"
Li Guawan nodded, but when he saw the direction of her finger, he immediately reacted, "What did you say!?"
What he meant was that he didn't recommend living there, so why did she choose to live there? Li Guawan didn't understand. Is there something wrong with this girl's brain?
"Girl doll, are you sure?"
Li Guawan tried to get him to change the option, but Chu Yuan refused: "Captain, I think that house has a good view. The big tree in front of the door is nice and can provide shade. It's a good house."
This also makes it convenient to find my parents.
