Before we knew it, the more than ten hours of driving was over.

At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived at Yanjing Railway Station.

After getting off the train, everyone followed Qin Lu to the parking lot of the train station.

The two young men in front were waving to Qin Lu, and two open-top Yanjing jeeps were parked beside them.

"Hey! With Sister Qin Lu here, the treatment is different. Two years ago, when we first arrived in Yanjing, we took a Yanjing 130, but now the situation has changed." Yue Xiaoming joked.

Qin Lu said to Yue Xiaoming: "Stop talking! I borrowed this from a friend without telling my family. Get in the car quickly! Sorry, there are four of you in one car. Haiyang, you are responsible for bringing Pei Xiaohong, Tan Yuanyuan, and Yue Xiaoming to the car."

Xiao Ming sent it to school.

Liu Yan and Lili and I have to go home first. I invite you all to come home next Sunday. I will inform you of the specific time in advance after I have arranged it, and you can tell the others." After that,

Qin Lu waved to Zhou Haiyang and others.

Seeing Zhou Haiyang and the four of them get into the car and leave, Liu Yan slowly walked up to the driver and smiled: "Master, you have worked hard. Take a break and let me do it!"

"This..." The driver was stunned for a moment, glanced at Liu Yan, with a face full of embarrassment, and looked at Qin Lu: "Sister... look..."

"Xiao Yan, can you drive?" Qin Lu looked at Liu Yan and asked in surprise.

"When he was working next to the county party committee secretary, he learned from the driver." Fan Lili hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, I haven't had the chance to touch the steering wheel since I went to college. No, my hands are itchy when I see the car." Liu Yan said with a smile.

"Okay then! Pay attention to safety on the road and drive slowly." After Qin Lu said to Liu Yan, she turned to the driver and said: "This is my brother. If he wants to drive, let him drive. You can sit in the passenger seat and show him the way."

That’s fine.”

…

Following the route guided by the driver, the jeep arrived at an alley located on a certain street in Dongcheng District, and slowly stopped in front of a courtyard with a blue brick wall.

After everyone got out of the car, Qin Lu nodded to the guard and led Liu Yan and Fan Lili into a deep courtyard.

This is a spacious three-entry courtyard. In addition to several tall and straight pines and cypresses, there are also several crabapple trees in the courtyard.

Knowing that their son and daughter-in-law were coming back, the Qin family arranged a comfortable new house for the young couple in advance.

After dinner, Liu Yan followed Qin Huaiguo to the study room and had a heart-to-heart talk with Qin Huaiguo about his previous experiences in queue jumping and working, as well as his thoughts after graduating from college.

"Dad, our generation has experienced too much, and we deeply feel the mission we shoulder.

Lily and I hope to return to Huaining City after graduating from college and continue the work we have not completed."

Qin Huaiguo thought for a moment and asked: "Well, I understand your mood, can you tell me your specific thoughts?"

“In the more than six years since I joined the queue, I have felt that in order to completely change the backwardness of China’s rural areas, we must eliminate both material poverty and spiritual poverty.

To achieve spiritual poverty alleviation, we must start with education, and we must gradually improve the education level in rural areas to improve the overall quality of the population.

I think that for people whose overall quality is not high to begin with, their mental level has not caught up in time. Once they have money in their pockets, their overall quality will further decline."

"I agree with your idea. Our country is a large agricultural country. The key to improving the overall quality of China's population is to improve the overall quality of the agricultural population."

Liu Yan continued: "Before I went to college, I had a wish and plan, which was to run a rural school with nine-year compulsory education in Yuanping. Unfortunately, due to limited conditions at the time, I was unable to do so.

After graduation, I want to go to the grassroots level and fulfill this wish in poverty alleviation work.

I hope to use a poor town as a pilot and establish a number of rural model schools with nine-year compulsory education in a county within a few years."

"Xiaoyan, your idea is very good, very bold and forward-looking. But have you ever thought about where the funds for running the school come from? Where do the teachers come from?

Not to mention a county, a city, or a province cannot afford this money. After the past ten years, our country’s foundation is very thin! Without funds, even if we build schools, how can we introduce teachers?”

"Dad, I've thought about it. I can find a way to solve the funding problem myself without needing a penny from the state.

As long as I can get policy support from the county, city, and province, it would be even better if I could get support from the top management of Yanjing.

The support I mean means not intervening or blocking in advance. We are allowed to pilot it in two communes first and then promote it in the county.

After the pilot promotion in the county is completed, relevant parties from the city, province, and even Yanjing will send people to evaluate.

If it succeeds, it will benefit both the country and society. If it fails, the country will not suffer a penny loss.

I can use my party spirit as a guarantee and am willing to be punished or even resign from public office! I will never implicate other people!"

"Xiaoyan, let's not talk about policy support for the moment. Take a county as an example. To spread it out on such a large area, this is a lot of money, right?

I want to hear how you solve the funding problem?" Qin Huaiguo looked at Liu Yan and said.

"Dad, please rest assured about the source of the funds! I have earned this money from investments over the years, and it is completely reasonable and legal."

"Investment?" Qin Huaiguo looked at Liu Yan puzzled.

Then, Liu Yan told Qin Huaiguo that he started collecting stamps in 1976, and that the Huaguo Philatelic Corporation had increased prices year by year, including the purchase of 1,000 editions of zodiac monkey stamps on the eve of the Spring Festival in 1980.

"Dad, from 1976 to this year, especially after the reform and opening up, China's stamps have been integrated with the international market.

From then on, stamps are no longer just postage certificates, but have become a special valuable commodity circulating in the market. I just saw the opportunity and made preparations first."

After Qin Huaiguo heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and sighed: "I didn't expect you to seize this opportunity in advance. How could you have such advanced awareness at that time?"

"Dad, revitalizing rural education is the most important thing I have realized since I joined the team. Including the road construction and the establishment of bamboo factories, they are all for the better implementation of the rural education plan one day.

I believe that education is the key to truly realizing the three major differences between urban and rural areas mentioned by great men.

But I am also aware of the economic situation of our country in recent years. Therefore, I have to consider tapping all potentials and resources, and use the basic economics and capital operation methods I studied at Yanda to solve the funding problem of running a school.

I believe that waiting to ask the state for money is definitely not a wise way to run a school, either now or in the future.

I plan to use this money to first establish an education poverty alleviation fund. When the time is right, I will use this fund to introduce domestic and foreign investment to further expand the scale of joint school running..."

"I didn't expect that you have already considered it so comprehensively. Does Comrade Pei Changyuan know what you think? Do your father Zhenhong and mother Yuhua know?"

"Besides Lily and me, only you know about this.

The reason why I don’t want to hide it from you is, firstly, to make you trust my son and rest assured about what I will do in the future. Secondly, so that you can help me when necessary, because this road is very difficult..."

"You don't need to say anything, I understand what you mean! Xiaoyan, your mother and I will support you in this matter.

As for Jiangning Province and Huaining City, don't worry! Your sister has told me your request before dinner.

Today, our country still has many impoverished mountainous areas and rural areas. To realize the common prosperity of all Chinese people and realize the Chinese dream of the future, we need thousands of young people with knowledge and ideals like you to build and change.

As you said, poverty alleviation through education is a century-old plan to revitalize the motherland."

"Dad, thank you!"

The more than three hours of conversation tonight between the Qin family and his son left a significant mark on the great work of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich in rural areas of China in the future.

[Author's digression]: "1002889 Rebirth 1976 Begins as an Educated Youth" is a long serial officialdom novel that is completely different from the promotion of children from poor families...

Through the encounters of the protagonist's family in historical periods, the experience of going to the mountains and countryside, and the personal growth process, the work shapes the political character of a generation of people who love the motherland, understand the national conditions, sympathize with the people, care about the fate of the nation, and hope for the steady development of the country.

The author uses a different thinking and vision from previous officialdom works, and uses personal experience to take you from a new perspective to understand and recognize the other side of the positive energy of officialdom from the 1970s to the 21st century, as well as

The mind and pattern of a generation...

I hope to continue to receive criticism, guidance, encouragement and support from all readers in various ways!
