The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

Jiang Qingyi got into the convertible amid a burst of urging.

The road to the commune was not good. It was shaking violently all the way. Many people on the bus were carsick and belching sounds were heard one after another.

Jiang Qingyi felt sick when she heard the sound. Although they didn't vomit, the sound was really disgusting!

When the car was halfway there, a girl couldn't help it and got off to vomit.

Five or six other people got off the bus and vomited all over the roadside.

Jiang Qingyi blocked her sense of smell immediately. She really didn't want to feel the smell at such a close distance, for fear that she would not be able to help but vomit.

Two hours later, the car stopped outside the commune. The educated youth on the car got off with tired bodies, looking listless.

Jiang Qingyi mingled in the crowd and looked around, and found that this commune was even more backward than the place she came from. The buildings were at most two stories high and were made of poor quality red bricks.

The exterior walls of these buildings are all written with very "red" slogans, which look very characteristic of the times.

From every village under the commune, people came in ox carts or tractors to pick up this wave of educated youth.

The village that each educated youth went to was assigned in advance, and there was no chance to choose.

The educated youth present followed the cadres from various villages one after another.

Soon, only Jiang Qingyi and five other men and two women were left on the scene, including the man named Wang whom Jiang Qingyi had met on the train before and the girl called Yueyue.

After waiting for another half an hour, no one showed up, so one of the educated youth couldn't help asking, "Comrade, what's going on now? No one is coming to pick us up?"

"Don't worry, the captain of Dafang Village may have something urgent to do. He should be here soon."

As soon as the man finished speaking, Jiang Qingyi saw a middle-aged man driving a ox cart towards them.

"Oh, we're here, you all are going to Dafang Village, just follow Captain Zhou."

Zhou Daquan walked up to the Youth League Office and exchanged a few words with the staff before finally turning his attention to Jiang Qingyi and the others.

"I'm Zhou Daquan, the captain of Dafang Village. You can just call me Uncle Zhou. It's getting late. Let's take a roll call first and then go back to the village. When I call your name, remember to say, Wang Jian."

"Here." This was the man named Wang who stood up for Yueyue on the train.

"Li Siyue, Zhao Meili, Sun Qiang, Chen Cheng, Jiang Qingyi, Li Ankang, Duan Hongwen."

Every time Zhou Daquan called out a name, someone spoke up.

Jiang Qingyi also roughly matched these educated youth with their names.

"Just put the things on the bullock cart and follow it."

"What!!! Are we going to the village?" Li Siyue suddenly exclaimed.

Zhou Daquan's face suddenly turned serious. "What else do you want if you don't go back? Are you going to let the cow pull you back?"

"Is it not possible?" Li Siyue asked as if it was a matter of course.

"No, this cow is an important asset of our village. We can't let it get tired. It's good enough that I didn't ask you to carry it back."

Zhou Daquan looked very serious and no one else dared to offend him at this time.

Jiang Qingyi only put the net bag and quilt on the ox cart, and when the cart started moving, she followed it.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow the ox cart.

The time in this world is now August 1972, and it probably hasn't rained here for a long time.

Although the road was bumpy, it was not difficult to walk on. At least there was no sticky soil to add weight to the feet.

At that time, rural Northeast China was not as developed as it is today. The roads leading to the villages were basically dirt roads. In some places with less economic conditions, even the roads in the county towns were not hardened.

Zhou Daquan was busy driving the car and didn't talk to the educated youth, and the educated youth didn't dare to say much.

It is now about three o'clock in the afternoon, which is also the hottest time of the day.

After walking for about half an hour, Li Siyue felt dizzy, staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, Zhao Meili, who was standing next to her, stopped her in time and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Li Siyue stopped and said weakly, "I feel a little dizzy, maybe I have a heat stroke."

Wang Jian had always been interested in Li Siyue, so he jumped out and shouted, "Captain, Li Zhiqing seems to have heatstroke. Can't we stop and rest?"

Zhou Daquan looked at the sun and was worried that something might happen to the new educated youth, so he said, "Go a little further and there will be shade from the trees. Let's rest there."

Having said that, Zhou Daquan still despised these educated youth. They could not lift or carry anything, and yet they had to go to the village to share supplies with other people.

If there were no strict regulations from above, probably not many villages would be willing to accept these educated youth.

After walking for a while, Jiang Qingyi found that the surrounding area was not the endless plain she had imagined.

I don’t know what the situation is in the village.

After walking and resting along the way, it took about three hours for the group to reach the village.

Zhou Daquan brought Jiang Qingyi and the others to the village youth education center. He shouted outside, "Su Zhiqing, new youth education centers are here. Please make arrangements for them."

"I know, Captain."

After Zhou Daquan left, Su Zhiqing said,

"Hello, I'm Su Wenhua, the person in charge of the educated youth site. If you have any questions, just tell me.

The houses here are for the male educated youth. You can decide how to live there.

As for the female educated youth, please follow me first. I will take you to the next door."

Su Wenhua handed Jiang Qingyi and others over to another educated youth and went back.

"You must be the new educated youth. I'm Chen Xiaofang, she's Fu Yunyun, and there's Li Xia. She's cooking next door, you'll see her in a bit.

We live in a large dormitory here, and we can sleep anywhere there is no space on the kang.

As for other things, just use your own.

We ate together with the male educated youth, and the cooking was done by the three of us. The male educated youth were responsible for diving and collecting firewood.

If you want to eat together, just put the food together with everyone else's.

If you don't, you can use the stove after we finish the work. Of course, you will have to fetch water and firewood by yourself."

Li Siyue was very dissatisfied with the living environment, and her disgust was written all over her face.

Jiang Qingyi accepted it well. She stepped forward and introduced herself.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Qingyi. I'm new here and not very familiar with the place. I hope you can take care of me and help me make progress together."

Chen Xiaofang was very pleased with her attitude. After all, they were all educated youth, and no one wanted to curry favor with someone else.

Chen Xiaofang smiled and said, "I'm afraid you must be tired after the journey back. I have a rag. Jiang Zhiqing, please tidy up the kang first so you can have a rest later."

"I see. Thank you." Jiang Qingyi responded and put everything in her hands on the long table in the middle.

I borrowed Chen Xiaofang's rag and went to clean the kang.
