Chapter 24 Educated Youth Going to the Countryside
Shen Shuyu was woken up by her grandmother early in the morning to have breakfast. After breakfast, she went back to her room and took a nap, and did not wake up until noon.
During lunch, Old Mrs. Shen reminded her granddaughter not to forget to bring the photos, and Shen Shuyu responded.
Second Grandpa said that this batch of educated youth would probably arrive at three o'clock in the afternoon, so it was still early and there was no need to rush. Shen Shuyu ate lunch leisurely and sat for a while before going to the brigade headquarters with Shen Jiabao to find Shen Erzhu.
The brother and sister greeted, "Second Grandpa."
"Second Grandpa."
Shen Erzhu put down his pipe and said, "Now that you are here, get in the car. We will go to the commune to pick them up."
It took two hours to get from the brigade to the commune by ox cart, and Shen Shuyu's butt was numb from sitting there.
When they arrived at the commune, this group of educated youth had just arrived.
Shen Erzhu shouted, "I am the captain of the Shenjiaba Brigade. The educated youth assigned to the Shenjiaba Brigade come here."
Soon, eight educated youths came towards them. Shen Shuyu immediately locked onto the tall man among them. He was so dazzling, and he walked with an upright posture. It seemed that he was at least 1.89 meters tall, and his facial features were like a carefully carved work of art, extremely perfect.
Whether in modern times or in this era, it was the first time that Shen Shuyu saw such a pleasing man, and she had the urge to take him home and keep him as a captive.
Could this be Gu Jiandong? Shen Shuyu took out the photo for comparison.
Shen Jiabao stood beside Shen Shuyu and was confused when he saw her take out a photo of a baby. "Big sister, you are looking up and down, what are you looking at?"
“Recognize people by looking at their photos!”
"..." Shen Jiabao looked at the photo and remained silent.
If he remembered correctly, his older sister came to pick up Gu Jiandong, and his grandmother said that Gu Jiandong was the same age as him.
"Big sister, did you take the wrong photo?"
Shen Shuyu was carefully comparing the person with the photo and had no time to pay attention to her elder brother. At this moment, Shen Shuyu really wished she had an eight-fold mirror.
She felt that he looked like that 1.89-meter-tall handsome guy, but she also felt that he didn't look like him. After all, Uncle Gu said that Gu Jiandong had a brain injury, and the handsome guy walking towards them looked no different from a normal person.
Shen Erzhu found his niece's behavior very confusing. He didn't understand it, but he expressed respect for her.
Eight people walked to the front of the ox cart, and Shen Erzhu took out the list and called out their names one by one.
"Li Xin."
"Here it is"
"Zhang Chunhua..."
"It's me."
"Gu Jiandong."
"arrive."
Shen Erzhu was startled by the young man's extremely loud voice and his upright standing.
"You have a very loud voice, kid. Even an old man like me was scared by you."
Gu Jiandong, a 1.9-meter-tall man, lowered his head, holding his army green backpack in his hand without saying a word.
My parents said that he would ignore anyone who spoke to him before he came to Sister Shu Yu's house.
He is a good boy and listens to his parents.
There are many kidnappers these days, and the people on the train are a mixed bunch.
Gu Changfeng and Su Ruyue were very worried about their son. They repeatedly told him not to talk to strangers along the way and not to respond to anyone who spoke to him. This was also for their son's safety.
He has a good-looking face, and is quite intimidating when serious. Plus, he's been on the battlefield, so even though his IQ is that of a six or seven-year-old, he still has some aura.
When my son didn't speak, no one would have thought that his IQ was only that of a six or seven-year-old.
The tall young man looked tough and no one tried to take advantage of him along the way.
Shen Shuyu's eyes were instantly filled with stars.
After confirming the name, this is Gu Jiandong. Now she can really take him home to raise him.
Shen Shuyu took two steps forward and took out a handful of candy from her pocket and gave it to Gu Jiandong. The smile on her face was so bright. She was afraid of scaring the child, so she said in a gentle voice, "Your name is Gu Jiandong, right? Hello, my name is Shen Shuyu."
Originally, Gu Jiandong had no reaction. He didn't even look at Naitang when she came to him. When he heard the name Shen Shuyu, he slowly raised his head and looked at her for a long time.
He took out a photo from his pocket and held it up for comparison. He was very confused and didn't understand why Sister Shu Yu in the photo looked different from Sister Shu Yu standing in front of him.
He shook his head and said, "You are not, not like that."
Shen Jiabao leaned over to look at the photo in his hand. Wow, the delicate and pretty sister in the photo was exactly the eldest sister when she was a child. If he remembered correctly, the sister in the photo was only three years old at that time.
Shen Erzhu who was standing next to him said that he had learned something new. Nowadays, young people like to recognize each other by using each other’s childhood photos, right?
"What's the difference? The person in the photo looks exactly like me.
Look at the eyebrows, nose, and mouth, aren't they the same?" Afraid that Gu Jiandong wouldn't believe her, Shen Shuyu whispered to him about herself in the photo.
After talking for half an hour, Gu Jiandong finally took the candy she handed over and called her "Sister Shu Yu".
The sound of "Sister Shuyu" making Shen Shuyu scream in her heart, listen, what a beautiful voice, as obedient as a big puppy.
"Good boy, come with me and call your parents to let them know you're safe."
They had walked for some distance when the educated youth traveling with them realized that Gu Jiandong, who had been silent all the way, seemed like a fool.
Two female educated youth were heartbroken. They were attracted to the tall and handsome Gu Jiandong as soon as they saw him on the train. They kept looking for opportunities to talk to him along the way.
Unfortunately, he ignored them, and they thought he was being aloof. It turned out to be a fool.
There were four boys and four girls assigned to the Shenjiaba Brigade.
Male educated youth: Li Xin, Zhao Qianjin, Zhou Jingchen, Gu Jiandong,
Female educated youth: Zhao Chunhua, Huang Xiangdi, Wei Fangcao, and Fan Jiaojiao.
Everyone who went to the countryside to build the village had a lot of luggage. After they put their luggage on the oxcart, there was no room to sit. Shen Erzhu asked them to follow the oxcart and walk slowly back to the team.
Zhou Jingchen pointed at Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong, who had just called back and were sitting on the ox cart, and said, "Why should we walk back? If they can sit on the ox cart, why can't we?"
Zhou Jingchen didn't want to go to the countryside in the first place. His injuries had not yet healed when he was tricked by his eldest brother and was forced to go to the countryside. After sitting on the train for several days and nights, his body was almost unable to bear it. Now he was asked to walk back to the team. Zhou Jingchen felt that the team leader was targeting them.
It was only then that Shen Shuyu noticed Zhou Jingchen. After looking at him for a while, she realized that this man was the one Shen Xue picked up from the mountains and brought home, and also the male protagonist of this book.
He went to the countryside to become an educated youth, and he came to their Shenjiabao Brigade. This is going to be a good show, because the man Shen Xue had been thinking about came to find her.
"Why? Because I'm the captain, I can let anyone sit if I want."
If Zhou Jingchen had a better attitude, Shen Erzhu might have considered letting them take turns sitting. As soon as Zhou Jingchen opened his mouth, it was as if he, the captain, owed him a hundred or eighty.
Shen Erzhu was too lazy to give Zhou Jingchen a good face. He asked Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong to sit down. He also got on the ox cart and asked Shen Jiabao to drive the ox cart back.
"You guys follow behind, don't fall behind."
