Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 33: Almost Returned

Xu Qinghuan waited for a while, but before her name was called, she looked around. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be where she would live for the next three or four years.

As far as I remember, the college entrance examination was resumed in 77.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her savior. The young man was leaning against a dilapidated tractor, holding a cigarette between his fingers. The smoke curled up and lingered on his bony fingers. His long legs were crossed, and he was looking down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Perhaps he felt Xu Qinghuan's gaze and looked over here. With a fierce look in his eyes, he gave her a warning, then looked away.

This guy is quite fierce, and I don’t think I have said thank you to him yet.

"Come around, I'll call the roll, and follow the production teams!" Secretary Xu clapped his hands, asked everyone to gather around, and began to call the roll.

As expected, Xu Qinghuan, Yu Xiaomin, Kong Lijuan, Lu Nianying, Chen Dewen, Zheng Siqi, and Dai Yifeng, a total of seven people, three men and four women, were assigned to the Shangjiang Brigade.

The team leader was dumbfounded when he saw this and argued with Secretary Xu, "Secretary Xu, this is inappropriate. Our team has assigned so many educated youth this year, and there are more women than men. Isn't this asking for our lives?"

There is only so much food, and the more people who can't work, the heavier the burden.

Secretary Xu pointed at another group of educated youth and said, "Take a look. Whoever you like, take them with you!"

The captain glanced at them and didn't like any of them. The men among the educated youth from the city were not much better than the women. "But you can't give us so much!"

"Your brigade only has two educated youth this year. Don't you remember how many other brigades received in the previous batch?" Secretary Xu was also a little helpless. "I took care of you last time, so I can't do the same this time!"

The captain of the Liaozhong Brigade nearby shouted, "Old Jiang, stop wasting time and go back quickly. We are still waiting to go to work."

The captain waved his hand helplessly, "Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

Qiao Xinyu dragged Xu Qinghuan to the captain's side and said, "Captain, I want to go back with my friend. Can you let her go with me?"

The captain took a look at Xu Qinghuan and was greatly surprised. He realized that this girl was so beautiful, with snow-white skin and delicate features. She must be a monster from the mountains. How could she be assigned to their team if she was so beautiful?

Isn’t it too late to say no now?
"You...you are the educated youth assigned to our team?" Jiang Baohua regretted it deeply. He was too good-looking and would easily get into trouble.

Wouldn’t those bachelors in the production team go crazy?
Xu Qinghuan didn't know that he was being disliked and was almost rejected. "Captain, if it's inconvenient, I'll just follow the main force."

Qiao Xinyu whispered in her ear, "Come with me, you can ride on the tractor."

Xu Qinghuan uttered an "ah," implying that the large group would have to rely on their own legs. She whispered, "Can we bring someone else with us? I know a friend."

"Okay, call her along." Qiao Xinyu jumped in front of the captain, "Captain, please give her a break!"

"You're letting me off? What bad things have you done to deserve being let off? Can you even speak?" Jiang Baohua glared at her, but didn't say no.

Xu Qinghuan called Yu Xiaomin to follow him. Seeing that it was the girl who had just volunteered to testify for Xu Qinghuan, Qiao Xinyu also liked her and extended her hand enthusiastically, "My name is Qiao Xinyu, and I'm Huanhuan's good friend."

"My name is Yu Xiaomin, and Huanhuan and I are..."

Not knowing what to say, Xu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Xiaomin has taken good care of me all the way."

"Whoever takes care of my friend is my friend, and the three of us will be good friends from now on." Qiao Xinyu is a very straightforward girl.

At that moment, the uneasiness and anxiety that had built up in Yu Xiaomin's heart about arriving in a strange place were completely melted away by the two girls' laughter and gentle words. Yu Xiaomin didn't have much luggage: Xu Qinghuan's bundle and two handbags. Qiao Xinyu helped her carry one, and she carried one each.

"Qiao Zhiqing, why did you bring the educated youth here? Aren't they following the ox cart?" Qiu Linghua said dissatisfiedly on the cart. She spread her legs and took up the space of two people.

He was obviously very reluctant to let Xu Qinghuan and the others come and sit down.

Xu Qinghuan narrowed his eyes and did not move the luggage in his hands.

She didn't have to ride this tractor, but Xu Qinghuan must be unhappy about being bullied like this as soon as she arrived. She still had to live in the brigade for three or four years in the future.

"If you don't want to sit, get out!" Jiang Xingye came to the front of the truck bed at some point and shouted at Qiu Linghua fiercely.

Qiu Linghua's face turned unhappy. "Oh, I was wondering why Xingye was waiting instead of driving. It turns out he was waiting for Qiao Zhiqing. I'm saying you two..."

Before Qiu Linghua could finish her words, Jiang Xingye grabbed her and threw her to the ground, imitating Xu Qinghuan's previous actions. However, he didn't dare to use so much force. If she got hurt, it would be bad if he was blamed.

Then he sat in the driver's seat by himself.

Xu Qinghuan and Qiao Xinyu looked at each other, and the latter shrugged, meaning that she had nothing to do with this village bully.

Xu Qinghuan was shocked when he heard the old woman calling "Xingye" just now. Could he be Jiang Xingye?
As soon as she arrived, it was the big boss who saved her life?

Although it is highly likely that you will not die if you fall from the truck bed, people usually exaggerate the favors they receive.

"Hurry up and get on. This tractor can still accommodate people. I'm wondering why you delicate educated youth don't just stay in the city and run to this remote corner of our town?" An aunt in the car stretched out her hand to Xu Qinghuan and the others.

Qiao Xinyu handed over the luggage. "Thank you, Aunt Guiying. This is my good friend Xu Qinghuan, and this is Yu Xiaomin. We didn't want to come here, we were assigned here. There are too many people in the city and too few jobs, and there's not enough food, so we had no choice but to come and farm with you."

"We don't have much here, but we have a lot of land. As long as we're not lazy, we won't starve to death."

"Aunt Guiying is right!" Qiao Xinyu is sweet-spoken. She has only been in Shangjiang Brigade for a short time and is very familiar with several aunts in the village.

There were about ten people in the car, all of them were aunts and sisters-in-law. Xu Qinghuan smiled sweetly and greeted everyone with her eyes. She was so beautiful. People in the world are always more tolerant and appreciative of beautiful things. Of course, there will inevitably be malicious inquiries.

After being thrown down by Jiang Xingye, Qiu Linghua shamelessly took the opportunity to climb up, but this time, she had to sit at the back of the car, holding on to the edge tightly with both hands, for fear of being thrown down.

The tractor rumbled away. Xu Qinghuan sat on the fertilizer bag. The wind blew over, lifting her messy hair. The scorching midday sun shone on her body, dispelling the coldness in her heart.

On the other side, the remaining educated youth followed the team leader. They set off first, with only one ox cart to carry the luggage. As for people, they naturally followed the ox cart.

The road from the commune to the brigade was all dirt, covered with a layer of gravel. It hurt the soles of my feet after walking a short distance.

"Captain, do we have to go to the team?" Chen Dewen also felt depressed. This group of newly arrived educated youth should have good conditions, and many of them were wearing leather shoes.

Walking on this gravel road is like torture.
