Age: My Small World

Chapter 378 Liujiazhuang

Silent all night.

When it was dawn, Yang Jun opened his eyes on time.

It was probably only six o'clock now, but he couldn't sleep anymore because there were too many mosquitoes.

After waving his hands vigorously to drive away the annoying mosquitoes, he glanced around and found that there were four or five people who had woken up early like him, all looking up at the sky in silence.

The autumn at the end of September is a little cool, and the sky is particularly clear. The blue sky in the morning makes people love it when they see it.

The feeling of spaciousness and tranquility makes people appreciate the beauty of the countryside.

Perhaps only Yang Jun has the leisure to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

The thought of staying in the countryside for three months and having to wait until January to return to the city was something no one could accept calmly.

After enduring some mosquito bites, everyone finally woke up, and Shen Tang led everyone to get up.

Washing is very simple. Just rinse your mouth with water and wipe your face with your hands. That's enough. You don't even need a towel.

After waiting in line to solve my personal problems, I couldn't wait to have breakfast and continued on my way.

I walked about 20 kilometers yesterday and now there are only 10 kilometers left.

The road was all muddy, and because the weather was dry, dust flew up wherever I stepped.

There are farmlands on both sides of the road. In addition to straw, some weeds have sprouted in the harvested fields, making them look lush green.

It shouldn't be called a weed. If it can be harvested, it would be best used to feed pigs. Pigs really like this kind of pig grass growing in farmland. It is very tender and tastes good. Some people even used it to make porridge in the past two years.

In addition, there are some wild fruits growing on both sides of the road, which look like wolfberries, so they are also called wolfberries. They taste slightly sweet, but unfortunately they are no longer available in this season.

The other is the golden cherry, which has small thorns on the outside and a bunch of seeds inside. You just need to scrape off the small thorns, break it open in the middle and take out the seeds, and the remaining part can be eaten. It tastes pretty good. Anyway, eating it like this on the road will definitely not make you feel tired of it, and it can also kill time.

Now is the time when golden berries begin to ripen, so people can occasionally find a few on the roadside and just peel them and eat them.

After walking for more than two hours, they finally saw traces of a house, indicating that they were almost there.

It's not the educated youth who went to the countryside, otherwise the villagers would have to go a long way to pick them up, and they probably wouldn't be welcomed when they came.

As students, the main problem is that they not only cannot do their work well but also have a lot of trouble.

Shen Tang frowned slightly. The captain here should have been notified by his superiors, but no one came to pick them up until now.

But the next moment, the figures of several people appeared in everyone's eyes, and some even came jogging over.

Dust was flying and sweat was dripping along the way, but it couldn't hide that simple smile.

"Excuse me, excuse me, teacher..."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a dark face and simple features. Shen Tang waved his hand when he spoke.

"My name is Shen Tang, just call me Comrade Shen." He stretched out his hand.

The middle-aged man with a dark face quickly stretched out his hand, then put it down and wiped it on his clothes, then shook hands with Mr. Shen a little awkwardly.

"Hello, hello, Comrade Shen. I've been waiting for you."

"You don't know, we thought you were coming last night, so we led people to pick you up, but we searched four or five miles and couldn't find you. That's when we realized you weren't here."

It turned out they weren't late to pick me up, they were early. "Sorry, we were a little slow on our way and delayed us a bit, so we stopped for a break halfway and stayed there for the night. I'm sorry to have kept you busy."

The villagers must have overestimated the students' ability to travel, thinking that they could cover the more than 30 kilometers in one day, and as a result, they inevitably missed it.

The middle-aged man didn't take it seriously and continued to say cheerfully, "It's okay, it's okay. We weren't busy doing anything and we couldn't help."

"But it's a good thing you came today. The place to stay is ready. And tomorrow they said it would rain. If you wait until tomorrow, it definitely won't work. You can't get sick from the rain."

There is no weather forecast in the countryside now, but people in the countryside have their own ways to see whether it will rain or not, and they are quite accurate.

The group followed the middle-aged man to the village. There were already many children looking around at the entrance of the village.

They were very excited about the strangers coming to the village. The outside world was magical and new to children.

Not to mention that the adults said that the people coming were college students, people like the Wenquxing in the sky. Every time their parents at home asked them to study hard and take the college entrance examination in the future.

Perhaps in the eyes of the villagers, students from the Capital University are similar to the ancient Jinshi scholars.

"By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"

Shen Tang handed out a cigarette. The dark-faced middle-aged man took it, but instead of smoking it, he put it above his ear.

He showed his yellow teeth and said, "There are many people with the surname Liu in our village, so it's called Liujiazhuang. I'm Liu Jiyong, Mr. Shen, you can just call me Liu Laosi."

Of course, Shen Tang would not call him Liu Laosi, but Comrade Liu, which made Liu Laosi happy all the way.

The few young people who accompanied them would occasionally look at the group of college students behind them who were looking around curiously, with surprise in their eyes. It seemed that these Wenquxing were just like normal people, with two eyes and one nose.

"Stop looking around and take the kids to where they're going to live and settle them down."

As for Shen Tang, he was invited to the team's office to take over the work, and they might have to have a meal or something afterwards.

Shen Tang said, "I am the students' teacher. I have to see that they are settled before I go. Comrade Liu, please forgive me. Please tell the captain for me."

Liu Laosi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. There's no such thing as unforgiveness in the countryside. We don't know how to do that. Mr. Shen, you can do whatever you want."

If an ordinary high school or middle school student came here, the villagers might give him a hard time, but Jingcheng University is really different.

As long as the captain is not stupid, he will know that this is an opportunity.

Students can do farm work, but they will definitely become cadres in the future. If there are a few who become capable and can take care of Liujiazhuang in the future, the team will have more opportunities.

After all, stubborn people are a minority.

"Then let's go together." Shen Tang said to the students, then followed a few young people.

As for the middle-aged man with a dark face, he went to report to the captain or something.

"Yes, Teacher Shen."

A group of people walked in Liujiazhuang and saw the peculiarity of this village.

This is a circular village. The terrain of Liujiazhuang is similar to a small round bowl surrounded by hills. The houses are built at the bottom of the bowl, and there are hundreds of acres of land at the bottom.

There was even a small river flowing through the middle, and finally flowed into a bottomless pit in the ground, making a thud-thud-thud sound.
