Chapter 1541 Partial Eyed Mom 17
Fang Yan and Ji Honghong did not dare to be left in this strange place. With red eyes, they trotted to catch up with the ox cart.
Song Baoguo didn't really want to abandon them, so he drove the ox cart slowly on purpose so that they could keep up. But after half an hour, they gradually became panting and could not keep up.
"Captain, I can't walk anymore. Let me sit on the ox cart for a while." Fang Yan sat down on the ground tiredly and refused to move.
At this moment, the sky was gradually getting darker, and darkness was about to come. Song Baoguo said, "If you don't want to be left behind, just hurry up and forget about riding in a bullock cart."
The ox cart didn't stop and kept moving forward.
"Wow, wait for me, I don't want to be left behind." Fang Yan cried in fear, got up and trotted to catch up.
Ji Honghong, who originally wanted to act like a spoiled child and refuse to leave, did not dare to argue when she saw Song Baoguo's tough attitude.
They endured the pain in their feet and the fatigue and followed the ox cart, walking step by step with difficulty. Even though they walked very slowly and their feet were sore, they dared not stop.
Darkness had already arrived, and the air was bustling with the chirping of insects and frogs. However, the three city kids who had never been to the countryside felt uneasy and trembling with fear, so they followed the ox cart closely.
A lantern was hung on the ox cart at some point, fluttering in the wind. It was the only bright spot in the darkness, and the bright spot they were chasing after. The darkness behind them was like a bloody mouth. They dared not fall behind, as if they did, they would be swallowed by the darkness.
The journey was supposed to take four hours, but they took eight hours. They only rested for ten minutes and ate some dry food. Song Baoguo brought a pot of water and shared it with several people.
When Song Baoguo arrived at the educated youth center, it was already two o'clock in the morning. He knocked on the door.
Knowing that new educated youth would arrive today, the leaders of the male and female teams at the educated youth site did not dare to sleep too deeply. The door opened quickly and Song Baoguo said, "You can introduce yourselves. Take down your luggage. I'm going to go back first. Tell me if you have anything to say tomorrow morning."
Then he said to the man and woman who came to open the door, "Chang Zhiqing, Hong Zhiqing, these new educated youths are now in your care. Everything should be done according to the old rules. I'm going back first."
Yuanchun and the others took down their luggage, and Song Baoguo drove away in the empty ox cart.
Chang Qingyang said, "Hello, I am the leader of the male educated youth. My name is Chang Qingyang, I am 25 years old, from Hai City, and I have been working in the countryside for five years."
"Hello, I'm the leader of the female educated youth team. My name is Hong Xiurong, I'm 23 years old, from Shanghai, and I'm from the same batch of educated youth as Chang Zhiqing."
Ma Guoliang nodded and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Ma Guoliang, I'm nineteen years old, and I'm from the imperial capital."
"My name is Fang Yan, I'm eighteen years old, graduated from high school, and I'm also from the imperial capital."
"My name is Ji Honghong, I'm seventeen years old, graduated from high school, and I'm from the imperial capital."
"My name is Han Yuanchun, I'm sixteen years old, graduated from high school, and I'm from the imperial capital."
After everyone was introduced, Hong Xiurong said to the new educated youth, "It's too late today. Chang and I have to go to work tomorrow. I'll make it short and tell you about the rules of the educated youth camp. Our educated youth camp is divided into collective dormitories and individual dormitories. Living in collective dormitories is free, and you eat and live together. The female educated youth are responsible for cooking, and the male educated youth are responsible for diving and chopping wood. They take turns every day. Living in individual dormitories requires a monthly rent of two yuan to the brigade. Individual dormitories have kangs and stoves, and you cook alone."
Chang Qingyang said, "There are only three rooms left in the personal dormitory. If any of you want to live there, I will take you there now. Just give the money to the captain tomorrow."
