Uncle Dong didn't take Old Guo's complaint to heart. Old Guo had such a temper, but he wasn't a bad person.
Moreover, he also agreed with Old Guo's words. This group of educated youths couldn't carry their shoulders or pick their hands. It was obvious that they had never done farm work before. How could they herd horses?
Nothing could be done with a heart full of passion.
Moreover, they already knew that life here was very difficult compared to in the city. No one knew how much blood was left in their veins.
Not only that, he heard that there was a felon among this group of educated youths who was sent to the countryside for reform!
Uncle Dong looked at the group of idiots who stood out among the educated youths and pursed his lips.
He didn't know what kind of wicked things this person had done, but he looked quite honest. He hoped that he would behave himself in the future. Otherwise, they wouldn't keep people with ill intentions here!
To come to such a poor and remote educated youth like them, they either had a bad background or had committed a crime. The rest were all spoiled young ladies and young masters. To put it bluntly, they were burdens!
That was what he had thought before, but Xu Jinyan made him look at him in a new light.
This young man was not bad. In his impression, this was what a cultured person should be like.
It wasn't a problem to be a little pampered, as long as it could help them deal with the technical problems that they had been difficult to deal with in the past.
Uncle Dong approached Xu Jinyan and asked curiously.
"Young man, you have never herded a horse before. How do you know so much about horse herding?”
Xu Jinyan smiled and said," Uncle, my name is Xu Jinyan. You can call me Little Xu."”
"I read about horse herding in a book before, and I remembered it because I was curious. I didn't expect that I would actually use this knowledge one day.”
Uncle Dong's eyes lit up as he asked.
"Is that so? The book also teaches people how to herd horses? I thought the books were all about things that we couldn't understand.”
Xu Jinyan smiled and said," There's everything in books, but no matter how many books you read, it's not as good as practicing on your own.”
When Uncle Dong heard this, he immediately looked at Xu Jinyan differently, as if he had seen a lump of gold.
Herders and farmers were the same. They admired and yearned for scholars the most.
They didn't expect their team to be so lucky!
Ignoring other things, the learning ability of an intellectual should not be weak. In the future, if there was something that these old herdsmen did not understand, they might have to ask him for advice!
Uncle Dong's attitude toward Xu Jinyan had improved a lot. He had become very polite.
This kind of humble and polite young man who had a literary heart was indeed likable!
The captains of the other seven teams had the same idea. They respected the intellectual and felt that scholars were smarter than them.
A high school student had joined his team just now, which made him extremely happy.
There was a long distance between Sijiu City and the Northwest Qilian Mountain Ranch. These educated youths had been on the train for several days.
After arriving at the Northwest Ranch for such a long time, they had long been unable to hold on after the long journey.
All of them had dark circles under their eyes and looked exhausted.
The village committee director also saw this situation and said in a timely manner.
"Everyone has worked hard. Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow, follow your respective captains and familiarize yourself with the situation in the village.”
When the people in the know heard this, they turned around and walked towards their residence. They were really too sleepy, but when they thought of the house that the village had given them, they were so worried that they could not sleep. It was impossible to sleep in such a simple place.
Compared to them, Xu Jinyan's condition was not bad.
The educated youths each had a clay house. Xu Jinyan returned to his own room and began to prepare to pack up the house and put away his luggage.
"Pa, pa, pa!"
Who knew that it would suddenly rain? The rainwater flowed down the hole in the roof.
It really proved that it was raining outside and drizzling inside.
Xu Jinyan was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect this room to leak rain.!
How could he sleep like this?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Uncle Dong's voice came in.
"Little Xu, are you asleep?"
Xu Jinyan opened the door and smiled." Not yet. It's raining so heavily. Why are you here, Uncle Dong?"”
Uncle Dong smiled and pointed at the house next door." I live right next to you!"”
Xu Jinyan suddenly realized why he had run over without an umbrella in such a heavy rain.
"Uncle Dong, come in and have a seat. I haven't tidied up my place yet.”
Uncle Dong didn't mind. He came in and found a place to sit down. He smiled and didn't look out of place.
Xu Jinyan pretended to take out a candle and a lighter from his bag, but in fact, he took them out from his interspace. He lit the candle, and the dim room instantly lit up.
The conditions of the Northwest pasture were harsh. In the village, only the village committee director had a light bulb in his house. The others probably only had the most primitive lighting tools in their homes-kerosene lamps and candles.
Uncle Dong looked at the candle and said," The candles in your city are so beautiful? Our village doesn't have such a rare thing.”
Xu Jinyan was not stingy." Uncle Dong, I still have a lot of candles here. You can take a few back to use!”
Uncle Dong rubbed his hands. He wanted to refuse, but he really wanted those candles. With these things, the child's mother wouldn't have to hurt her eyes so much when sewing clothes at night.
"How can I do that?"
Xu Jinyan took out three candles and stuffed them into Uncle Dong's hands." I still need you to take care of me in the future. What are these candles?”
Uncle Dong was an honest person. He immediately put away the candle and patted his chest as he promised.
"Little Xu, don't worry. Uncle will definitely not mistreat you in the future!”
" You definitely won't have time to cook tonight. Come to my house for dinner!"”
Xu Jinyan thought to himself. Three candles for a dinner. The herdsmen on the grasslands were really simple and honest!
"Alright, then I'll be thick-skinned and go to your place for a meal!”
The two of them chatted happily. Uncle Dong asked why Xu Jinyan was here.
"How did a knowledgeable and cultured person like you come to our remote ranch?”
Xu Jinyan only vaguely said that he had been harmed.
Uncle Dong immediately said indignantly," The person who harmed you is really a scoundrel. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me!”
Xu Jinyan smiled and agreed. He was in a very good mood.
The herdsmen on the grassland were honest and passionate. As long as they did not lack resources, living in this place was really a kind of enjoyment.
Coincidentally, he had the farming space, so he did not lack resources.
"Da da!"
Uncle Dong looked at the hole in the roof and then at the pool of water on the ground. He frowned.
"How are you going to sleep tonight with so much rain? It's so uncomfortable to sleep!"
