Kapitel 24: Arriving at Zhao Village
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
Gu An'an quickly hid the emotions in her eyes and threw her luggage into the back of the car. With a push of her hand, she easily got onto the car and sat down at the front seat. Her clean and swift actions made Zhao Mingyu raise his eyebrows in surprise. "Oh my, this female educated youth looked delicate and weak, but she has some hidden skills."
But this was a good thing. At least if she went to Zhao Village, she wouldn't become a burden to them.
Unlike some others, who only knew how to cry and do nothing.
Zhao Mingyu muttered something to himself, not dwelling on other thoughts. He simply felt relieved that finally, there was a new educated youth in the village who wasn't going to spend all day crying and struggling to finish the tasks.
On the way back to the village, other than the crying monster sitting at the back, the overall atmosphere was pretty good.
However, halfway through her crying, Wen Taohua finally shut up and stopped crying after an outburst from Zhao Mingyu.
His exact words were that if she dared to make another noise, he would immediately drag her to the commune's office.
Upon hearing that she would be sent back to the Commune Office to face various punishments and criticisms, Wen Taohua immediately stopped crying. She quickly covered her mouth and kept quiet. From then on, she behaved extremely well and didn't utter a word for the rest of the journey.
The corners of Gu An'an's lips curled up slightly. Indeed, when dealing with people like Wen Taohua, one had to be firm and resolute, otherwise she would continue causing trouble with no end in sight.
The journey was bumpy and shaky. Just as Gu An'an was feeling sleepy from the jostling, they finally arrived at Zhao Village.
The tractor drove straight into the village and stopped in front of the courtyard door of a green brick house. "We're here. You can get out of the car. The person standing in front is my father, Zhao Zhiyuan. He's also the village chief of the Zhao family village. He'll get you all settled in."
After Zhao Mingyu parked the tractor, he pointed at his father, Zhao Zhiyuan, and introduced him to the four newcomers in the car.
Despite his initial reluctance to get involved in these trivial matters, he had to do it when he saw the stern expression on his father's face.
As long as he spoke up, he would be spared a beating. If he didn't seize such a good opportunity, he must be a fool.
After thanking him, Gu An'an skillfully jumped off the tractor and retrieved her luggage from the back. She then began to scan the village. There were quite a few houses, but they all had one thing in common—they looked old and dilapidated. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but desolation.
"Welcome. I'm the village chief of Zhao Village, Zhao Zhiyuan."
At this moment, Zhao Zhiyuan walked towards them with a calm expression. Although he felt disdainful towards the four individuals, he knew that once the youths were assigned to their village, they couldn't be sent back.
"Let's go. I'll bring you to the dormitory where the educated youths live. Tomorrow, I'll give the four of you a day off. If you wish to go to town to buy some daily necessities, go as soon as possible. After settling in, you can start work the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhao Zhiyuan strode towards the Youths Dormitory with a pensive expression.
"The people from the commune are really something. Every year they assign the most number of educated youths to our Zhao family village. These youngsters look so delicate and pampered. It seems like they can't even carry a load on their shoulders. Aren't they just making things difficult for our village?"
Zhao Zhiyuan was worried sick. He wondered when this program of sending the youths to the countryside would come to an end.
Gu An'an quietly followed behind the village chief and sized up her surroundings along the way. She didn't expect the countryside on Earth that she had transmigrated to would look like this. It was very different from the Meng Luo Kingdom she used to live in.
In that place, although the commoners were not very well-off, they were still better off than these people here in the countryside.
