Space in hand: Being an educated youth in the 1970s

Ma Zhengyuan was a little worried when he thought that the people in the village were boycotting the educated youth so much, but he couldn't let the people in the village and the educated youth continue to be so deadlocked, otherwise there would be trouble in the future.

"It's okay, I'll announce a meeting later, let's decide by lottery, anyway, now there are four female intellectuals and four male intellectuals, a total of eight households, and it will be decided by lottery. The

guard thought about it, but there was no other way: "Okay, village chief, I'll go and inform the people of the village to come to the square for a meeting."

Wei Guofu looked at the two of them ignoring him and half dead: "I said I don't agree with this decision!" Ma Zhengyuan looked at him, helpless: "Then what suggestions do you say? Tell me your way!"

"I....Anyway, I don't agree

to build a new house for educated youth."

Ma Zhengyuan didn't want to continue to pay attention to him: "I don't agree with you going to the town to react!"

After speaking, he followed the guards to the square with his hands behind his back to inform the people in the village to gather here, and there was something to inform.

The people of the village were getting ready to eat when they heard the village chief making a voice on the only loud radio in the village.

"Assemble! Assemble, everyone come to the square to gather, something is notified!"

Ge Bai and the two dogs glanced at each other, I don't know what the village chief Ma is doing, tonight Ge Bai is going to take the two dogs up the mountain, and then go to find Hei Ye.

"Brother, this... Shall we go then?"

Ge Bai looked at the villagers walking in front of him, and was silent for a moment: "Let's go, let's go too."

He estimated that today Ergouzi said that a new batch of educated youths would come soon, and seeing that the educated youths were not enough, the matter of who Ma Zhengyuan should be gathered now has nothing to do with him.

When I came to the square, the people in the surrounding villages were whispering, all talking about what the village chief was doing when he gathered, and Aunt Niu was holding her little grandson for a few months, shaking and coaxing.

"Village chief, what's the matter, my little grandson is hungry.

"That's right, what's the matter, it's all over. "

Yes, it's time to go home and cook!" Ma

Zhengyuan looked at the noisy group of people, and his head hurt more and more.

He knocked on the board in front of him: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, I'll say a few words and everyone will go back!" "

The boss ordered to come down, our village wants a new batch of educated youths, and there are about five people in a village, and the educated youths can't live there, what do you say now

?" When the people of Hongxing Village heard this, everyone looked at Ma Zhengyuan with dissatisfaction: "Village chief, these educated youths in our village can't support themselves, why do you still let so many people down?"

The educated youth on the side was embarrassed and didn't dare to raise his head, Lin Fangfang's face was so red that he was looked at by so many people.

Wei Qing asked Ma Zhengyuan in front of so many people: "Village chief, if you come again, the Zhiqing Point really can't live, and now the Zhiqing Point is leaking rain when it rains."

When Ma Zhengyuan heard this, he didn't say anything immediately, but looked at the villagers standing here.

"You have also heard, the educated youth point is becoming more and more inhabitable now, and the above can't afford to accept what we have arranged, right, if we don't have land to live, our village won't be able to get the name of an excellent village during the New Year.

Hearing this, the people in the village who had been against it just now were not so fierce, looking at the others in anticipation, and then discussing something with the people in their house in a low voice.

Wei Dan was the first to hold back, and shouted loudly: "Village Chief, we usually have to go to work, where is the time to repair the house for them?"

This sentence was like a first shot, and the people around me began to say it one by one.

"Village Chief, Wei Dan is right! How can we use our time after work to repair houses for their educated youth?"

"Yes, we don't do it! We don't have time to help them after work."

Wei Qing and Zhou Zhenhua's faces turned blue with anger, but they also knew that these people didn't have a good impression of their educated youth, and they wanted to refute something, but they had nothing to say.

Ma Zhengyuan knew that their reaction would be like this, and patted the microphone: "I know you don't want to, so the people who come to repair the house for the educated youth after work tomorrow will be extra processing points, as long as you are willing to come."

When Ergouzi heard this, he touched Ge Bai next to him with his elbow: "Brother, the village chief said that repairing the house will give work, not for nothing!"

The son of Widow Chen's family walked in front of Ma Zhengyuan first: "Village chief, where to sign up, count me in!" Their family

is just him and his mother, he didn't mix with the affairs of the educated youth before, and now he has a job to earn, and he and his mother can live a little better in the winter.

Hearing that the first one came out to sign up, Ma Zhengyuan glanced at the guards, but he didn't expect the first step to succeed so quickly.

Wei Guofu wanted to say something on the side, and looked at the wavering villager unhappily.

"Okay, count you in, everyone can sign up, but you have to draw lots to let the current educated youth live in, otherwise they won't have a place to live if they are rebuilt. "

Because of the temptation of the work just now, even if Ma Zhengyuan now says that he will let the educated youth live in their house temporarily, no one will object.

Ge Bai was a little surprised when he saw this, and thought that because of this incident, this horse Zhengyuan would have to grind for two days, but he didn't expect to figure it out so quickly, and no one would go to Bai Gan.

He turned around and was about to take the second dog back to run errands, when he heard a commotion from behind, and when he looked back, it turned out that Ma Zhengyuan had just told the villagers that as long as someone accepted the educated youth, the village would subsidize half a catty of coarse grain.

Although it is not much coarse grain, but everyone is still very satisfied, it would be good to have a job, but I didn't expect to give the educated youth two days to live and half a catty of food subsidies.

Ma Zhengyuan comforted everyone: "Quiet and quiet, educated youths rely on the order of lottery, and they will go to whichever family is drawn." The

guards had already written the village house in small notes and put it in an invisible cardboard box, and he stood in the open ground with the cardboard box.

Ma Zhengyuan held a loudspeaker and shouted: "The educated youths are all here to smoke!

Xiang Danyu's expression was a little subtle, let her go to these people's earthen houses, there were some men she didn't know, she didn't want to go, but now this educated youth was sleeping crowded on the kang, and she couldn't sleep well at all.

Li Xiangxiang was the first to step forward and draw a note, and the next few people took out their own notes from it one after another.

Ma Zhengyuan stood by and watched them, and the villagers next to him also stared closely at the results in their hands.

"Open it up and read it aloud to everyone.

Li Xiangxiang flattened the note in her hand, and when she saw the words Ge family, she breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that in this village, except for the Ge family, the Wei family, and the houses in other places were generally not mentioned, and the people in the village did not have a good impression of them, and she was also very scared when she went.

"I... Mine is the Pavilion Family.

As soon as she spoke, the second dog who heard her looked at her in shock, and then looked at Ge Bai, who didn't speak.
