Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Seeing the car parked in the middle of nowhere, just as she remembered, Zhang Yu could only helplessly remark that there had been no butterfly effect.

The only good thing is that there are farmlands nearby, so I can contact fellow villagers and then discuss with relevant departments how to resolve the issue.

Another advantage is that there are trees around, so you can find shade and at least avoid being roasted in the car.

As time passed, everyone's mood worsened. After arriving at the commune, they still had to go to the villages below.

Although accommodation is free and the educated youth office will arrange it, oh, of course it's a dormitory-style room. If you want to stay there, you have to pay for it yourself, and you also have to take care of your own meals.

The food at the restaurant was delicious, but it required receipts and money, so it was more economical to cook for ourselves. Everyone was looking forward to arriving at the educated youth settlement as soon as possible so that they could cook for themselves and not have to spend extra money.

The educated youth in the Red Flag Brigade were the most excited, because they lived in the farthest commune. If things dragged on any longer, they might have to stay in the commune today.

Summer temperatures are already high, making people irritable. With these added issues, it's really impossible to speak politely; everyone's tone of voice is already quite unpleasant.

Zhang Yu sat quietly under the shade of a tree, completely calm. After all, could arguing really solve anything? Even the higher-ups were finding it troublesome.

Zhang Hui sighed softly, looking at the noisy crowd and then at Zhang Yu sitting quietly, "I don't know when this will end."

"It will get better eventually. There's nothing we can do about it. We'll see what the higher-ups decide." In their previous life, they hadn't prepared any food. When Zhang Hui said she was hungry, Zhang Yu panicked, just like the rest of the group.

This time, she has prepared food and drinks, so let them make a fuss. She's just a young girl, so it's best not to cause trouble.

Zhang Hui glanced at Zhang Yu, who was sitting calmly, and felt rather displeased. Damn it, why didn't this guy cause trouble? If the two of them weren't a bit tough, wouldn't they be easy targets for bullying?
“If you want to join them, then go ahead.” Zhang Yu glanced at Zhang Hui, who was fidgeting around, and wondered if she was upset that Zhang Hui wasn’t taking the bait and wasn’t going out to cause trouble.

Hmph, this kind of behavior will displease the leaders and make them think she's a troublemaker, so of course she has to avoid it in every possible way. If there's no way to avoid it, then there's only one possibility: to try and gain benefits for herself.

Anything that doesn't benefit her is none of her business; she can just quietly watch the show.

"She'd get involved?" Zhang Hui immediately shook her head. Not only would her status prevent her from causing trouble, but even if her status were perfectly legitimate, she wouldn't do it.

Parents like obedient and honest children, and leaders also like such subordinates. Zhang Hui had already thought it through: she could be lazy in her work, but she would never become a thorn in the side of her superiors.

This kind of behavior that would displease the leader, let Zhang Yu do it. Isn't she a person with a bad temper? But I didn't expect that from yesterday to today, no, including on the train, Zhang Yu has been so quiet. Unless it is a group activity, she will never participate.

Zhang Yu knew that her behavior made Zhang Hui very unhappy, but she was actually quite happy.

Zhang Hui was annoyed, but when she turned her head, she saw Zhang Yu's smiling face. "Sis, what are you laughing at?"

Many people turned to look at Zhang Yu, especially those who had been arguing earlier, all of whom looked at Zhang Yu with dissatisfaction.

Zhang Yu knew Zhang Hui's intention—to make her everyone's enemy—and pointed to the rice in front of her, saying, "Look at the rice, it's all heavy. I think it will be a bumper harvest in the fall."

Everyone looked at the farmland beside them and said, "Yes, it's harvest season."

"So I'm smiling, is that alright?" Zhang Yu said with a smile. "It's already happened, I think the educated youth office didn't want it, and neither did the driver." "Nobody wanted this to happen, but it's already happened, so we can only face it."

"Besides, it's so hot outside, aren't you all hot?" Zhang Yu retorted. "Why don't you take a rest?"

"If you have energy but no outlet for it, why not ask the villagers if there's anything you can help with in the fields?" Zhang Yu sincerely suggested.

Everyone glanced at the farmland and thought, "Well, it's going to be a bumper harvest. Anyone would be happy to see that. After all, the village will have a good harvest, and as educated youth, they don't need to worry about going hungry."

When they heard Zhang Yu say that if they had the strength, they should do farm work, everyone immediately found a place to sit down, because they were really too tired.

Zhang Hui was stunned, thinking that Zhang Yu had no way to resolve the situation just now, but she was surprised that Zhang Yu resolved it so easily.

"Sister, you're amazing! I could tell from your eyes that it would be a bumper harvest." Zhang Hui was furious inside.

"No, we're here in the countryside to build a new rural area, so of course we need to know more about it." Zhang Yu continued to look at the farmland.

Seeing Zhang Yu's indifferent demeanor, Zhang Hui felt unhappy, but what could she do? She could only look at the farmland and slowly calm her anger.

As everyone looked at the fields and felt the gentle breeze, they gradually realized that things weren't so bad after all.

In the quiet atmosphere, oxcarts and tractors arrived one after another. When the people saw these vehicles, they knew they had come to pick them up, and tears immediately streamed down their faces uncontrollably.

"Get on the bus, we're going to the commune." The leader gestured for everyone to get on the bus first, "It's not far from here to the commune."

And so everyone arrived at the commune compound gate on various modes of transportation. At this time, the commune's restaurant had already closed for lunch. People who had come from the county town to buy lunch were happy, since getting hot water was much easier than finding a place to buy lunch.

Many people rubbed their discomfitured bellies, feeling quite annoyed but helpless. Zhang Yu had reminded them beforehand, but they thought they could still make it to lunchtime.

But who would have thought that even though there was a bus to take them to the commune, the bus still broke down.

"People from Hongqi Commune and Jiefang Commune, get on the tractors!" the staff shouted through a loudspeaker. "Don't get on the wrong vehicle."

"The two communes are not in the same direction," the staff member said, raising his voice to warn people that they might get on the wrong tractor.

The educated youth, who were only concerned with carrying their luggage and quickly boarding the tractor, didn't care at all which commune they were going to, since a bus could take them directly to three communes, right?

Zhang Yu knew the reason: the three communes were actually roughly in a triangle, and buses could deliver people in one trip, just on a slightly roundabout route. Now, arranging for tractors to transport people meant that there would be no detour.

Although Zhang Yu was a bit far from the tractor that went to Hongqi Commune, she didn't take any detours, so she managed to snag a good spot.

Although it wasn't the innermost seat, it wasn't the outermost either. Given the road conditions, Zhang Yu could guess that sitting on the outside would be incredibly bumpy. If he accidentally got jolted out, that would be quite a fun experience. (End of Chapter)
