After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pa

Chapter 15 Where is the house?

When Xia Zhi walked to the front, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhou Zhengan.

 “Zhou Zhengan?”

“From now on, you will call me Captain Zhou. I am the captain of the Sixth Brigade. You go with my team.”

Zhou Zhengan put on a serious face and said seriously.

Xia Zhi nodded immediately. He could meet an acquaintance, and he was working under Zhou Zhengan, so it was naturally much better than he expected.

Just when he wanted to ask Liu Qianjin for a favor and ask if Liu Qianjin could be assigned to him, he heard Zhou Zhengan calling out the names of Liu Qianjin and Liu Zhiyan.

 “Don’t worry about other people.”

Zhou Zhengan whispered as he passed by the summer solstice, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

 Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile knowingly.

 Zhou Zhengan is such a good person.

 Given what Zhou Zhengan did today, she will definitely treat this friend well in the future.

 Liu Qianjin and Liu Zhiyan were very happy to see that Xia Zhi did not separate from them, and the three of them established a deep friendship along the way.

But when they saw the carriage they were sitting on, Liu Zhiyan was still a little dumbfounded.

"This is?"

“Don’t look at it, it’s just a carriage. We don’t have that many cars in our brigade. All tractors are used for plowing. How can we let you sit on them?

　　Okay, if there is a carriage, you should be lucky that you don't have to walk across it with your legs.

We are still hundreds of miles away from the farm, so get in the car quickly without wasting time. "

Zhou Zhengan directed everyone to get on the carriage and did not give Xia Zhi any more preferential treatment.

 This makes Xia Zhi even more relieved.

She was also afraid that Zhou Zhengan would treat her too favorably and attract criticism from others. There were too many jealous people these days.

Unexpectedly, the person driving their carriage was Jiang Yifan.

Jiang Yifan smiled and said hello when he saw Xia Zhi,

 “Xiaoxia, we meet again.”

 “Comrade Jiang meets again.”

“So you are also from the Sixth Brigade.”

But no matter what, this is Zhou Zheng'an's friend. I heard that she has been Zhou Zheng'an's good buddy since childhood. She and Zhou Zheng'an are friends, so there is no need to show off to Jiang Yifan.

Although Xia Zhi still has some opinions about Jiang Yifan.

Jiang Yifan is too greasy and a bit smooth.

 To put it bluntly, he is the kind of greaser who gets mixed up in society.

 But who made this Zhou Zhengan’s friend?

“I am from the Sixth Brigade.

All the reclamation areas here are partly under special units, and the other part are made up of you intellectual youths and their families. "

“Be mentally prepared, the place you go may be completely different from what you imagined.”

Xia Zhi didn’t say anything, but smiled and nodded. Yes, it’s not like she had never been to the place they went to.

　　She also arrived at that place when she went there, and she almost cried out of fright.

　　But how miserable would it have been if I had gone a year too early?

 No matter how miserable it is, it is nothing more than a nest in the ground.

Looking at the disapproving look on the girl's face, Jiang Yifan smiled. These educated young women from the city have not experienced the wind and frost of this frontier, so they are probably still immersed in fantasy.

Just like when I came here, it was much worse than it is now. At least there are still shelters now.

How could they have a shelter in the first place?

At first glance, all I could see was the desolate Gobi.

　　No one can see half of it, but wolves come and go from time to time. You can barely get water to feed the wolves.

Whoever sees a barren salt-alkali land and reed flats, or even the shadow of a house, cannot see it.

 It is estimated that it will shatter the beautiful dreams in people’s hearts.

 It's a pity that Liu Zhiyan and others obviously have no such idea at all. The young intellectuals sitting on the carriage were full of enthusiasm and dedicated their youth to the construction of the frontier.

Xia Zhi said nothing, just covered his head with a gauze scarf.

 And pushed Liu Zhiyan.

Liu Qianjin doesn’t have a gauze, and he doesn’t even want to cover his face.

 “Wrap the gauze around.”

Liu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment. When she turned around and saw Xia Zhi, who had her face tied tightly with a gauze scarf, she almost burst out laughing.

Even if he is a masked hero, at least his eyes are exposed, but this one has his entire scarf tied tightly from his hair to his neck.

 “This is not the way to wrap a gauze scarf during the summer solstice. Let me teach you.”

And she kindly lowered her voice. After all, Liu Zhiyan now regarded Xia Zhi as her friend, and she didn't expect Xia Zhi to do this.

To be honest, she would be embarrassed if she didn't regard Xia Zhi as her friend.

 Xia Zhi shook his head.

“You’d better tie the gauze like I do.”

Xia Zhi also whispered, mainly because he didn't want to attract Jiang Yifan's attention.

They have no idea about the environment here. Once the wind blows and the sand flies, they can eat up to two kilograms of sand.

Not locals, I do n’t know the climatic conditions here. I do n’t know that the gauze scarf is a must -have.

But unfortunately, Jiang Yifan turned around, apparently noticing that the two of them were talking in a low voice.

 Jiang Yifan's eyes showed some understanding, Zhou Zhengan was really a protector.

“This is not how the summer solstice scarves are worn. Besides, it’s not appropriate to wear gauze scarves on such a cold day. We should wear woolen scarves now.”

God knows that the temperature has dropped to this level now, and even the breath coming out of talking is white.

 What Xia Zhi wanted to say, he swallowed it back all at once.

Don’t think that there will be no flying sand and rocks in winter. Even the wind blowing in this winter can kill people.

Before he could say anything, a gust of wind blew.

When the wind started blowing up during the summer solstice, I hurriedly held my head and shrank my body down.

 …

 After half an hour, the gust of wind passed. Everyone in the carriage stared at the summer solstice.

Liu Zhiyan spit out a mouthful of sand and dug it out of her ears and nostrils with her hands.

　　Can't even curse people.

 Finally I understand why we need to use gauze scarves in winter.

He hurriedly rummaged through the luggage on the carriage, took out his gauze scarf, and wrapped it around his head. This time, he followed the example of the summer solstice and wrapped it tightly from top to bottom.

 Then he put the woolen scarf around his neck.

 Everyone wearing a gauze scarf started to take action now.

Xia Zhi closed her eyes silently. Anyway, the carriage was not going fast, and there was no way to escape in these ten hours.

 Just squint for a while.

I walked like this in a daze for more than ten hours, and when I opened my eyes at the summer solstice, I heard it.

Jiang Yifan's shout came from in front of the carriage.

 “Everyone’s got off the bus, everyone’s got off the bus, we’re at the place.”

 Hurryly open your eyes.

He hurriedly jumped out of the carriage. After sitting for a long time, his legs were already numb. While rubbing his legs and moving them, he pulled his small bundle off the carriage and put it on his shoulders.

Everyone was stunned on the spot, and in front of them they saw only a mound of soil covered with a layer of salt-alkali flowers on the ground.

 Nothing can be seen except the shadow of this house.

“Comrade Jiang, where is our dormitory?”
