Becoming a top student in the literature of the era

Chapter 71

After receiving the educated youth from each brigade, they can take the brigade's educated youth away after signing a signature with the commune cadre.

Yang Ci and his group were relatively far ahead. After receiving the five people, they confirmed their identities again and again, and then led them towards the group's tractor.

Among the five educated youths in the Yang Ci Brigade, the youngest is only sixteen years old, a girl with a baby face and a chirping voice.

The oldest is already twenty-four years old, a male educated youth who doesn’t seem to talk much. Except for two people, one big and one small, the remaining three are all about the same age. They should be around 17/8 or 18/9 years old by visual inspection.

The tractors of this era were still walk-behind tractors, with a carriage at the back similar to a pallet truck. Some brigades simply used tractors.

When Yang Ci and the others led the five educated youths onto the bus, everyone's expressions on the educated youth's faces were very exciting after seeing the simple tractor.

Except for the youngest female educated youth, who couldn't help muttering something in a low voice, the other educated youths were relatively calm.

Even though they disliked the old tractor in their hearts, they had no choice but to be exhausted after traveling for so long.

Five educated youths sat in the carriage, and with their salutes, it was packed. If the tractor driver and another person sit in front, then Yang Ci will have no place to sit.

Probably because Yang Ci was good-looking and neatly dressed, the educated youth regarded Yang Ci as an old educated youth in the team. When they saw that Yang Ci had no place, everyone was very enthusiastic and stretched out their hands to pull Yang Ci up.

Yang Ci saw this but did not follow him up. Anyway, he had walked before going to school. This distance was nothing to him. He could have walked back by himself. So he rejected the kindness of the educated youths on the bus and urged the tractor driver to go back quickly.

After the tractor took the educated youth away first, Yang Ci did not rush to the village immediately. Instead, he wandered around the commune and bought a few watermelons from a vendor.

July/August is the season for eating watermelons. These vendors who grow watermelons at home will trade watermelons with people for food every year.

Sometimes when I meet some brave people, they will go out with a few watermelons to try their luck. Maybe someone will be willing to spend money to buy a watermelon and try it.

The commune generally doesn't care about this kind of small business. Sometimes when everyone comes to the commune to go to the market, some people sell their own eggs and vegetables.

However, business is still not on the table, so this kind of hawkers are usually very careful. Because if someone knows about this kind of thing, people who are familiar with it will look down on it, and even some people with dark minds will secretly report it. So if you want to find such vendors, you have to run into the alleys.

Because Yang Ci bought more watermelons, he wrapped up all the watermelons from the hawker in one go, and the hawker helped Yang Ci send the watermelons back to the village.

When Yang Ci came back from outside with watermelon, everyone in the village gathered at the grain drying field. It should be to welcome the newly arrived educated youth, and also to discuss the temporary residence of the new educated youth.

Yang Ci looked at the big sun above his head, and instead of running over to join in the fun, he returned home carrying a bag of watermelons.

There were only two people in the family at this time, one was Tian Jiaojiao who was in confinement, and the other was Yu Xinxue who was taking care of Tian Jiaojiao.
