Chapter 3 Arrival in Hunan Province
In the next two days, Tang Xiaoxiao was dragged by Tang's mother every day to visit the department store and the supply and marketing cooperative, until she said that she really couldn't take it, Tang's mother gave up purchasing.
In the end, a big bag contained summer quilts and bed sheets and bedding, two bamboo boxes for clothes and shoes, a small bag for tea jars and rice bowls used on the road, and some small snacks, and then loaded with some food to eat on the road.
"Why don't I send you this bamboo box?" Tang's mother found out that her daughter's 1.62-meter-small body really couldn't hold so much.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Tang Xiaoxiao's head nodded vigorously, for fear that Tang's mother would regret it in the next second.
"You can't come back to the countryside for the New Year in the first year, you must come back for the New Year next year." Tang's mother held her daughter's hand and said.
"I'll be back for sure." Tang Xiaoxiao leaned on Tang's mother's arms, two lifetimes, and her mother's arms were still so warm.
The moment of separation will always come, and the next day is the train that the parents send Tang Xiaoxiao together.
"Mom will send you this box in a while, and the box will be almost there when you arrive." Tang's mother looked at her daughter reluctantly.
"Okay." Tang Xiaoxiao had tears in his eyes, he was reborn and had only been with his parents for three days, and he was about to separate again.
"When you arrive, remember to send a telegram, don't be reluctant to spend money, it takes a long time to send a letter." Father Tang said on the side.
"Got it."
"Remember to ask, can the commune call, remember the phone number of Dad's office?"
"I remember, it's all engraved here." Tang Xiaoxiao pointed to his head.
"Remember to eat on time, if you can, you won't go to work, we won't lack that little food." Tang's mother reached out and touched her daughter's cheek.
"If you lack something, just say it, and your parents will send it to you." Father Tang also instructed.
"Okay." She nodded obediently.
"Get in the car, the car will be going to leave in a moment." Father Tang handed her the luggage in his hand.
She was carrying a large bag, a bamboo suitcase and a small bag in her hand, a small crossbody bag, important documents and money tickets, all of which she had put into the space.
"Dad, Mom, I'm leaving, you take care of yourself." She looked at her parents, took her luggage and turned to leave.
At the moment of turning around, tears also flowed from his eyes.
After getting in the car, she quickly found the location, and the aunt of the Educated Youth Office arranged a window seat for her.
Putting her luggage away, she looked out the window at her parents, who were waving at her, and Tang's mother was in tears.
She sniffed and wiped the tears from her face, not wanting her parents to see it, and smiled and waved at them.
The train started slowly, and most of the people in this carriage were educated youths who had gone to the countryside.
Soon, red songs began to be sung in the carriage.
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at these energetic young people in the carriage and smiled, in her previous life, she was like them, with a sincere heart, to build the countryside of the motherland.
"You look so good when you smile." Then a round-faced girl across from her looked at her.
Tang Xiaoxiao has been a beauty embryo since she was a child, under the curved willow eyebrows, there are a pair of clear and clear eyes like stars, white skin like snow, small lips are red without makeup, a slight smile, dimples looming on the cheeks, it is difficult not to pay attention.
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at her, "You are also very good-looking." ”
"My name is He Xiaoqian, 19 years old, from Beijing, and I am an educated youth who went to Yuhu Village, Qingzhu Brigade, Yunshi City, Hunan Province."
"Tang Xiaoxiao, 18 years old, from Beijing, I went to the same place with you."
"Really? That's great. He Xiaoqian almost jumped up with joy, it is a rare thing to meet an educated youth who goes to a place.
"Wow, you guys are so lucky, I also went to Hunan Province, but unfortunately I am not in the same brigade as you." The girl next to Tang Xiaoxiao said.
"My name is Li Li, 19 years old, and I am an educated youth who went to the Beixiang Brigade in Yun City, Hunan Province."
"I also went to the Beixiang brigade, my name is Cao Zhenzhen, 19 years old." The girl next to He Xiaoqian said.
"So we're all in this together."
Later, He Xiaoqian and Li Li changed seats, and the two girls who went together sat together.
At lunchtime, everyone took out their own food and ate their own food.
Tang Xiaoxiao brought dumplings wrapped by Tang's mother, and the other three took out their lunch boxes, and the four of them looked at each other and laughed, it turned out that they were all dumplings.
"My mother said, get in the car dumplings and get off the noodles, it turns out that everyone's mother thinks so." He Xiaoqian has a lively personality, and she has the most words along the way.
Because it was summer, the food was not easy to store, so everyone ate the dumplings at noon, and ate the boxed lunch on the train at night.
The atmosphere was very cheerful along the way, and in the afternoon of the next day, the train arrived in Yun City, Hunan Province, and the four of them helped each other get off the train.
Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at the sky of Cloud City, Song Jingzhi, I'm here! I'm here to treat your leg.
"Here in Yuhu Village, Qingzhu Brigade." A deep voice came.
"Here we are." After Tang Xiaoxiao and He Xiaoqian greeted the other two, they walked over there with their luggage.
"Tang Xiaoxiao, He Xiaoqian?" The middle-aged man who shouted just now asked.
"Yes."
"I am the village chief of Yuhu Village, my name is Song Jianguo, this time there are only two female intellectuals in our village, let's go, let's take that tractor." Song Jianguo pointed to the tractor under the tree over there and said.
The two followed Song Jianguo to that side, and there was a young man on the tractor.
When the young man saw them coming, he helped carry the luggage onto the tractor.
"This is my son, Song Wei, a tractor driver in the village."
"Hello." The two greeted Song Wei.
"Hello." Song Wei smiled and touched the back of his head, his face showing a flush.
"Let's go." Song Jianguo shouted and got into the car, and the tractor rumbled forward.
"Uncle Village Chief." Tang Xiaoxiao handed two packs of big front door to Song Jianguo with a small satchel.
She had a good impression of this village chief, she went to the countryside in Hei Province in her last life, and the village chief saw that they had several girls, but he was disgusted.
"Yo, girl, we're not going to do this." Song Jianguo waved his hand and refused to ask for it.
"Uncle, you take it, I want to ask you about someone." She put the cigarette in Song Jianguo's arms.
"Uncle, is there a firefighter named Song Jingzhi in our village? He is now recuperating from his injuries at home. ”
"Girl, do you know Jingzhi?" Song Jianguo looked at Tang Xiaoxiao, and already had a number of ideas in his mind, shouldn't this girl be the object of Jingzhi?
Coincidentally, this Song Jianguo happens to be Song Jingzhi's uncle.
"Uncle, I won't tell you anything, I was an educated youth in Xushan before, and Comrade Song Jingzhi was injured in order to save me."
At this time, the tractor suddenly deviated, because Song Wei heard this and looked back.
"You're good to drive." Song Jianguo shouted at him.
"You came to our village to look for him?"
"Yes." Tang Xiaoxiao nodded, and she generously admitted.
