SIAS Chapter 236.3

Including her own, there were a total of seven heavy, warm oil-paper packages. When they came over, each of them stuffed one into their hands.

Li Mengxue and the others, who had thought they would go hungry today, felt their hearts as warm as the oil-paper buns themselves.

“Qingqing, I love you so much!” Li Mengxue was so moved that she almost cried.

Her heart was about to jump out of her chest with fright, but she was calmed down by Yi Qingqing’s oil-paper bag.

Qian Lailai and Wang Lingling gave Yi Qingqing a hug: “Thank goodness I have you, Qingqing.”

Even Chen Zhihe and Xie Shiyan, who benefited from it, felt relieved. It turns out that having a girlfriend has such benefits.

Yun Guyuan was filled with pride.

“You have to start making these buns early, Qingqing. Did you sleep well last night?” Qian Lailai said worriedly.

Yi Qingqing had already prepared her excuse: “I went to bed too early last night, and I couldn’t fall asleep this morning. I opened my eyes and just then noticed what looked like snow on the bright tiles. I figured that I already woke up, so I thought, ‘You should get some more sleep if you can’, so I made the buns. I know you’re very touched, haha, but we’re pressed for time, so let’s get going!”

With the steaming hot meat buns in their arms, the snowy journey didn’t seem unbearable.

The seven people trudged through the snow while eating buns. The delicious buns soothed the panic in their hearts.

By the time they reached the commune, everyone was already full.

Today, the educated youth from several brigades under the commune had arrived, and all the commune’s tractors had been deployed.

It was still dawn.

From a distance, Yi Qingqing spotted the fluorescent signs floating on several tractors.

[You found the Daxing Commune tractor sign-in location. Do you want to spend 2 sign-in points to sign in?]

[You have found the Daxing Commune tractor sign-in location. Do you want to spend 3 sign-in points to sign in?]

Yi Qingqing: “…”

After all her time in the countryside, this was her first time riding a tractor.

It turned out there were sign-in marks on the tractor?

And every tractor had one.

It looked like a skill. Could it be a tractor-driving skill?

Yi Qingqing ignored sign-in locations as she had no interest in driving a tractor.

At this time, the seats of the tractors were not full yet. There were several brigades under Daxing Commune, and there were more than a dozen educated youth in the Xiangshui Village Brigade alone. Judging from the situation, some people should not have arrived yet.

It seemed that they came here on a whim and actually arrived early.

In fact, the Xiangshui Village Brigade was relatively close to the commune. There were even more remote brigades that took hours to get to, and they might have to leave in the middle of the night.

They climbed onto the bed of a tractor and sat on the seats on both sides.

The four girls squeezed together and huddled for warmth. Opposite them sat three boys. Not long after, the educated youths came one after another. Some of them were sweating in the cold wind.

When the time came, the tractor rumbled off.

Yi Qingqing once again experienced the feeling of being on a crowded bus, swaying and up and down, but this time, it was open-air, so it wasn’t stuffy at all. Everyone crammed together and felt warm, but the cold wind stung their faces.

The sudden heavy snowfall didn’t extinguish the educated youth’s passion for sweating their way to the exam hall!

The arduous life of the educated youth had indeed tempered them, making them more aware of the hard-earned opportunities and building their resilience.

Of course, there were exceptions.

For example, Comrade Lu Xianjin.

After walking for over half an hour in the heavy snow and then enduring the bumpy ride, his face was already slightly flushed by the time he got out of the tractor.

But his gaze was resolute. His desire to escape the countryside and become a respectable man overcame everything. He would never let go of such an opportunity. Even if he felt weak, he would insist on taking the exam.
