After returning to the carriage, several people continued to sleep.

Perhaps because of the shared suffering, the next day, the relationship between the several people became much closer.

Qiao Mu didn't refuse the pears handed over by Tian Xiaohui, and Qiao Mu sometimes got involved in whatever topic everyone said.

Talking and laughing along the way, the difficult journey seems to be relaxed.

At six o'clock in the morning of the fifth day, the train that was twenty hours late finally arrived in Sibei County, Guizhou Province.

Of the more than 100 educated youths this time, half were assigned to Sibei County, and the rest were from another county in Gui Province.

After getting off the train, some of the fifty or sixty educated youths looked around, and some looked dazed.

A young man said loudly: "Why didn't anyone come to pick us up?" ”

A conductor next to him smiled when he heard this, these educated youths from the city were squeamish, "Are you still waiting for someone to pick you up?" Go to the Educated Youth Office yourself! ”

"Oh, by the way, it's still early, the Educated Youth Office has to go to work at eight o'clock."

Susie listened to the conductor's words and beckoned Tian Xiaohui to them, "Let's go out first, find a place to eat and rest." ”

Yuan Gang and Tian Xiaohui followed Susie without hesitation, Tian Xiaohui suddenly found that Qiao Mu standing next to them did not follow, turned around and shouted: "Qiao Mu, go, what are you still doing in a daze." ”

Qiao Mu hesitated for a moment and strode after him.

Yuan Gang took Tian Xiaohui's big box in his hand, and Qiao Mu silently took over the box in Susie's hand.

Susie and Tian Xiaohui carried the cover roll on their backs and carried their travel bags with ease.

There is no bus in the small county, but fortunately, the place is not big, and after walking for more than a quarter of an hour, Susie found that there was a "Sibei Hotel" on the side of the road.

The hotel is also a few big tile houses, a few people carried big bags and small bags to sit down, one person bought a bowl of shredded meat noodles, Qiao Mu and Yuan Gang also asked for two flatbreads.

After filling their stomachs, several people inquired and quickly found the Educated Youth Office.

The Educated Youth Office is in the compound of the county government, a few bungalows, and the door has not yet opened, and there are already many educated youths in the capital who have come by car outside.

When it was almost eight o'clock, a middle-aged lesbian with short hair came over, opened the green mailbox on the wall, took a few letters and newspapers, and then took the key to open the door.

A young intellectuals approached the door, "Hello comrades, we are educated youths from the capital." ”

The short-haired lesbian clipped the newspaper letter under her arm, pushed the door open and entered, "Don't worry, everyone, I'll do it for you when I get to work." ”

As he spoke, another young lesbian with two long braids arrived on her bicycle.

The short hair was behind Ah Zi's desk, and he instructed the long braid, "Xiao Zhu, you take a look at their letter of introduction, and then arrange it." ”

The girl with long braids agreed crisply, "Don't squeeze it, give me the letter of introduction first, and then go over there and wait, and I'll arrange it for you after verification." ”

Susie also handed over the letter of introduction, Tian Xiaohui grabbed the corner of Susie's clothes, "Sissi, I'm a little worried, what if we don't divide the two of us into a production team?" ”

Susie also hopes to be separated from Tian Xiaohui and Yuan Gang in her heart, everyone is familiar with them, and it will be convenient for them to do anything in the future.

She saw that the short-haired female comrade was opening the letter, and whispered to Tian Xiaohui: "When you stopped last night, what about the sugar-fried chestnuts you bought, give them to me." ”

Tian Xiaohui loves to eat snacks, and she bought everything she saw along the way, and she didn't eat much yesterday and fell asleep.

Tian Xiaohui thought that Susie wanted to eat, so she turned it out of the travel bag.

Sugar-fried chestnuts were put in a paper bag, Susie took it, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she walked quickly to the desk of the short-haired lesbian and put the bag on the table casually.

The lesbian glanced up at Susie and then at the paper bag on the table.

Susie smiled and whispered: "Hello comrade, we educated youths are from the same school, and we want to be assigned to a production team, is it okay?" ”

The female comrade smelled the aroma of sugar-fried chestnuts and said quietly: "What's your name?" ”

Susie said: "Four people, Susie, Tian Xiaohui, Yuan Gang, and Qiao Mu." ”

The lesbian looked at Susie in surprise, and then at the letter in her hand, "It's you!" ”

Susie glanced at the letter, and although she couldn't see the words on it, she guessed that it was a letter of praise.

This letter came in time, and it is estimated that when it arrived at the station, the police handed it over to the postman, just in time.

The attitude of the female comrade immediately became enthusiastic, "No problem, four people, right, I'll arrange you to a production team." ”

She immediately took out the material paper and pen from the drawer to write a letter of introduction, stamped the official seal after writing, and then issued 50 yuan for one person and 30 catties of Gui Province food stamps.

Susie took the letter of introduction, "I don't know what your last name is?" ”

The female comrade smiled: "My surname is Zhang, you can call me Comrade Zhang." ”

Susie nodded, "Thank you, Director Zhang, I'll come to see you next time I have the chance." ”

Director Zhang has also received a lot of educated youths over the years, and it was the first time she met such a little girl who knew how to do things, and she smiled and nodded at Susie. Then he shouted the long braid in front, "Xiao Zhu, Su Qian, Tian Xiaohui, Qiao Mu, and Yuan Gang have been arranged to the horn production team, don't repeat it." ”

The intellectuals in the room all looked at Susie and them.

A flat-headed male intellectual, said, "We came first, and we handed in the letter of introduction first, why should we give them a special one?" Then several people chimed in.

There was also a female voice who said in it, "Of course she is special, she is the child of a high-ranking cadre." ”

Susie glanced at the place where the voice came from, a tall and thin girl, and when she saw Susie looking over, her eyes quickly avoided.

When Director Zhang heard this, he stood up excitedly, "Are you special? ”

"These little comrades caught the thief on the train, searched for the murder weapon on the thief, recovered the property losses of the people, and protected the lives of the people."

She vigorously raised the letter in her hand, "Comrades from the Railway Public Security Bureau, the letters of praise have been written!" ”

"Such good comrades, what's wrong with us handling them first?"

Everyone was silent, and many educated youths were in the same carriage as Susie, and they also knew about their arrest of thieves.

The flat-headed man who said that Susie was special lowered his head in shame, and the tall and thin girl tried her best to hide behind others.

Director Zhang turned to Susie, and his face was full of smiles, just now someone said that Susie is the daughter of a high-ranking cadre, but she heard it, she said enthusiastically: "Now in the autumn harvest, the production team is very busy, and no one will come to pick you up, so you can only walk over by yourself." ”

At the beginning of the movement to the mountains and villages, in order to respond to the call, the communes heard that there were educated youths coming, and they all warmly sent people to greet them, and even beat gongs and drums to exaggerate them.

Now that the educated youth are coming in batches, one more person will have to add an extra mouth to eat, who will have the enthusiasm to greet him.

Susie thought about her heavy luggage, her expression was almost unbearable, she tried to squeeze out a smile, "Director Zhang, is there a bus to the horn production team?" ”
