1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 10 Become famous
The cadres from the provincial capital came and left in a hurry, leaving Renhe Village in a hurry and embarking on the journey back to the provincial capital.

Renhe Village is actually not far from the provincial capital of Xi'an, with a straight-line distance of less than 200 kilometers.

The problem is that there are no expressways these days, and even the national highways are quite outdated. If you drive all the way without stopping and without any trouble, the journey will conservatively take at least 4 hours.

Luo Gongan and the commune militia also escorted the educated youth away.

When the situation developed to this point, the six educated youth were filled with regret, especially the four male educated youth, who hated the two female educated youths, Zhang Yan'e and Li Shuang, to death.

However, what's the point of blaming the two female educated youth for this kind of situation?

He is ignorant and ridiculous but not guilty, but he is greedy and arrogant, with an egocentric ambition that is totally inconsistent with his status. Even when his crimes have been exposed, he still clings to luck and refuses to repent.

This was the original sin that truly angered Lu Yifan and caused Lu Yifan to retaliate fiercely.

They spread rumors and created trouble, maliciously smeared the seriousness of the national college entrance examination system, were inherently resistant to labor, looked down on the vast majority of farmers, and used all means to achieve their goal of returning to the city...

With so many charges at hand.

Given the special atmosphere of the time, these six educated youth were doomed.

There is a more than 50% chance that you will be sent to a labor camp somewhere, doing really hard and arduous labor and undergoing ideological transformation for three to five years, or even seven to eight years!

This is what is called, God will punish you for your arrogance.

In order to return to the city and escape the bitter sea of ​​forced labor in the countryside, they were willing to break the law and challenge the bottom line of being a human being.

Little did they know that in another one or two years, the policy for educated youth to return to the city would be completely relaxed.

At that time, all educated youth in the country would enjoy unconditional treatment of returning to the city.

And just follow the relevant policies and report back to the city.

Basically, they will be transformed into unemployed young people in cities.

Sooner or later, you will be assigned a job.

Of course, whether the job is good or not is out of the question. Naturally, only those with connections and influence can grab the most scarce good jobs.

And as the army of unemployed young people in cities continues to expand.

The country's reform and opening-up policies will also further unleash vitality.

By then, a large number of unemployed young people who cannot be assigned good jobs, or who are unwilling to sink but cannot get into university, will either voluntarily or be forced to flock to a series of fresher and more vibrant quasi-market economic circles, such as setting up stalls, becoming profiteers, or being self-employed.

and then.

These groups of people originally saw no light or hope for the future.

Suddenly, they became the first group of the richest people in society after the reform and opening up, the first group of rich people in economics, and the first group of trendsetters who rose up in response to the country's destiny...

To borrow a famous saying from our ancestors.

That is the truth: 'A blessing in disguise'. As long as you don't give up on life, the future will always be full of hope for success.

Therefore, talking about the hardships and difficulties of the educated youth, ignoring the external environment and only discussing the gains and losses of a single group, is just hooligan sophistry and a super joke.

The truth is, our family is too poor.

Surrounded by external powers.

The two major camps confronting each other in the East and the West regard us as their enemy.

At that moment, everyone in the country was having a hard time. As soon as they opened their eyes, they had to worry about three meals a day.

In just three decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the population soared from over 4 million to over 9 million.

Who wouldn't have a hard time feeding such a huge population?!
But even so, at least we haven't become like the three Indian families, right?
They are so poor and their lives are so difficult, but what is the driving force that makes Chinese people so fertile?
Because everyone believes that there is strength in numbers.

Because the whole nation is always full of hope for the future.

Even if we are isolated from the outside world and almost become an isolated island, so what?

Those who are truly shouldering the heavy responsibility of national destiny and forging ahead are always gritting their teeth and persevering silently. They have never shouted to the outside world that life is too hard and too tiring. Instead, they are more determined to believe that if we suffer in this generation, our descendants will suffer less.

This storm.

Lu Yifan truly realized what it meant that the background of the times was very different and the atmosphere of the era was very special.

At the same time, reality also further educated him, and his narrow mentality of only seeking individual freedom in the future was slightly loosened. Of course, the impact of this storm, whether good or bad, is far from over.

On the contrary, he became famous and well-known in the surrounding area.

Now, everyone in the county knows about it.

Lu Yifan, a villager from Group 5 of Renhe Brigade of Longyan Commune, studied hard on his own to pursue his wife in Beijing, and won the provincial top scorer in the exam. Some educated youth questioned that he was a farmer who graduated from a high school, and he must have cheated in advance to get such an amazing score. So they wrote a letter of accusation to the provincial government. As a result, the investigating cadres from the provincial capital took the new test paper and tested him. He easily took minutes and got full marks in four subjects of mathematics, physics, chemistry and English...

the village.

The villagers no longer talk about the fact that Lu Yifan's wife ran away.

Everyone changed their stories and spread the rumor that the female educated youth Zhong Xiuping did not abandon her husband Lu Yifan and sneak back to the city, but that the couple had discussed this strategy. Knowing that Lu Yifan would definitely pass the college entrance examination, the couple directed and acted in this big drama in order to hide their tracks.

As for why the two of them did this without caring about their reputation...

Of course, time is running out, and Zhong Xiuping must rush back to the city as soon as possible. Her parents have arranged a good job for her in the city...

Ok!

I heard such rumors.

Lu Yifan himself was shocked.

this day.

As usual, I was giving tutoring classes to seven of my younger sisters in the yard.

clap clap clap...

"Is Comrade Lu Yifan home?!"

Someone was knocking on the door outside the yard.

Judging from the voice, there was a lot of anxiety mixed in.

The knock on the door interrupted the normal order of the small classroom.

Lu Yifan frowned slightly.

He glanced outside the courtyard gate, stood up and walked forward, ready to open the door to see who was so annoying as to disturb class during class.

You know, after the turmoil a few days ago.

In the eyes of the villagers, his small courtyard classroom has been implicitly endowed with a sacred and solemn meaning.

Now the whole village is looking forward to it.

Next summer, will these seven lucky people in the village be able to pass the college entrance examination smoothly, be on the list, and become college students who can live in the city and eat government food?

So.

The villagers are all in harmony.

As long as it is class time in this courtyard, no one will easily come to disturb.

Oh, I forgot to mention that since his wife ran away, Lu Yifan has lived alone in this small courtyard.

My parents lived in the old courtyard of our home. My eldest brother was a soldier in the army. My eldest sister-in-law and younger sister lived with their parents in the old courtyard. My second brother's house was right next to the old courtyard, and he lived alone. When he married the beautiful educated youth Zhong Xiuping three years ago, the family applied for another residential plot for him and built three adobe houses with a separate entrance and courtyard, which were neither too big nor too small.

Swish!
Lu Yifan pulled the bolt and opened the gate.

Outside the door, there was a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face, pushing a bicycle and waiting. When he saw him come out, he hurriedly put on a slightly embarrassed and flattering smile.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, Comrade Lu, when you are giving a lecture. I'm sorry to have to come to you with something urgent. Oh, by the way, I'm the director of our county's agricultural machinery factory. My last name is Wang, and my given name is Wang Dalong..."

"County Agricultural Machinery Factory...?"

Lu Yifan was surprised. Why did the agricultural machinery factory come to him for no reason? He was not involved in agricultural machinery and had never been an agricultural machinery operator in the production team before!

"Well, it's like this. The reason I took the trouble to come to your door is that I want you, the provincial champion, to translate a foreign document for me..."

As Director Wang was speaking, he quickly pulled out a booklet from the black briefcase hanging from the front of his bicycle and handed it to me eagerly...
