The next day, Ling Chengyan needed to go to the county to participate in a three-day intensive training to prepare for the district-wide competition.
The team still sent a mule cart to the commune, and from there, a tractor from the commune took them to the county. This time, Ling Chengyan took her bicycle with her.
She got up early, and it was just dawn when she arrived at the county.
The commune's tractor dropped the three of them at the courtyard entrance before turning back. Political Commissar Xu Dong led the three straight to the canteen, where a table was set up at the entrance, normally for selling meal tickets. Today, there was also someone in military uniform with a clipboard responsible for sign-in registration. All the militia coming for the training signed in there and collected their meal tickets for the three days.
Xu Dong obviously knew the young man well and greeted him with a smile, "Officer Li."
