Return To the Era with Space Supplies

 Chapter 16 Distribution

The old-fashioned tractor was very simple, with only one seat for the driver, and no roof to protect it from the wind and rain. It had a single body at the back, and the paint was almost gone.

Everyone climbed into the car with the help of the handles on the side of the car body. When it was Si Ningning's turn, it was a bit awkward.

During the 28-hour train ride, Yuan Shen hadn’t eaten anything. Si Ningning had no strength in her hands. She was only halfway up when her hands began to lose strength.

Just as she was sliding down, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the truck bed.

"snort."

Beside him, a female educated youth with a garlicky nose snorted at Si Ningning and turned her head away.

Si Ningning rolled her eyes good-naturedly, then turned to the other side, her pale lips slightly opening and closing:

"Thank you!"

The girl who got into the car with Si Ningning was a girl with short hair like Sister Ma. She had a delicate face and a pair of eyelids. Her eyes were one big and one small. She was so thin that her eye sockets were a bit sunken, but her eyes were very clear.

"You're welcome!"

Xu Shuhua smiled sincerely, stared at Si Ningning's face for a while, and said sincerely:

“Why do you look so good? You’re so plump and juicy, and your skin is as white as a steamed bun!”

 “Uh, this…”

Si Ningning’s cheeks bulged and she looked embarrassed. She didn’t know how to answer this question.

Xu Shuhua waved her hand to signal her not to care, and introduced herself:

 “My name is Xu Shuhua, what is your name?”

The tractor spewed out a stream of black smoke and staggered forward. Si Ningning’s voice rose and she replied:

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Si Ningning.

 “The commander’s division? This surname is rare!”

"Um…"

There were people chatting with each other along the road, and it was already two hours later when we arrived at the commune. Si Ningning was so hungry that her eyes were dazzled and she was unable to drag her luggage. Suddenly, with a light move of her hand, Xu Shuhua took her luggage.

 “I’ll get it for you!”

Xu Shuhua is a very enthusiastic person, and her experience is not much better than that of Si Ningning. We chatted along the way and found that she and Si Ningning got along very well. Seeing that Si Ningning has thin arms and legs, she thought of what she could do, so she took care of her.

“It’s okay, I can do it myself, you have something on you too!”

Si Ningning trotted behind him. Before he could catch the things back, he heard a loud voice:

“Welcome to our commune in Bahe Town, Xi County. I am Li Dekun, the director of the commune. Now, please separate men and women and stand from short to tall while I say a few words.”

Li Dekun roughly estimated the time when the educated youths would arrive. When he heard the movement of the tractor outside the courtyard, he hurriedly came out of the house carrying a broken drawer.

The crowd was noisy for a while, and people stood up one after another. Si Ningning is not tall, only 162cm, ranking third among female educated youths.

 Xu Shuhua is nearly 170cm tall and is the tallest female educated youth. She put the box at Si Ningning's feet and trotted to the end.

The speed was so fast that Si Ningning didn’t even have time to say thank you.

When everyone was standing, Li Dekun cleared his throat and said:

“It is a good thing and an honor for everyone to cooperate with the organization and actively go to the countryside! However, this is not your final destination yet.”

“There are a total of 26 educated youths coming this time. There are eight brigades under our commune, three of which have already allocated some educated youths last year.”

 After a pause to give everyone time to digest, Li Dekun continued:

“The place everyone is going to go to this time is the remaining five brigades that have not yet been assigned to educated youth.”

The crowd was buzzing and murmuring.
