When everyone left the conference room, Liu Yan was already soaked to the skin.

Although I breathed a sigh of relief, I still felt a little trembling and uneasy.

It seems that time travel is not as beautiful as people imagine, and it is not something that can be done without any scruples, at least it is not applicable to everyone and every situation.

If you don't grasp it well, it will be self-defeating. Once you can't justify yourself, you will have endless troubles, and even your life in this world will be in vain.

Next, within 1976, there were three strong earthquakes of magnitude 7.2, magnitude 6.7, and magnitude 7.2 that occurred in two places in Sichuan Province on August 16, 22, and 23...

What should I do? Should I alert the relevant departments?

After thinking for a long time, Liu Yan finally revealed it in private to Zhou Mingshan who was sitting next to him at the dinner arranged by the county committee.

To Liu Yan's surprise and luck, Zhou Mingshan did not further investigate how he made the prediction in advance.

As for how Zhou Mingshan will convey this information to his superiors? Liu Yan thought that it should not be a problem for someone like Zhou Mingshan who has been involved in officialdom for many years and has experienced ups and downs.

By doing this himself, it can be considered as Zhou Mingshan's comeback this time, and he can contribute a great or small political achievement!

Through this incident, I met people like Zhou Mingshan, Pei Changyuan and even Liang Zhifeng, which not only solved the urgent problem of Yuanping road construction, but also paved the way for my future career.

What's more important is to establish effective grassroots connections and resources for parents who are about to make a comeback soon.

…

After dinner, Zhou Haiyang and Liu Yan walked towards the guest house.

"Tell me about the stamps. How is the contact going?" Liu Yan asked.

"I told Liang Ming about this matter, and when he told his father, his father was very happy!

He said that all post offices and agencies in the county will be notified immediately to start inventory counting. It is estimated that the inventory list of the whole county will be available soon."

"Great! Haiyang, since you are planning to stay with me, I have to tell you some things in advance."

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"As I said before, everything I say to you must be kept confidential. Don't ask why..."

Zhou Haiyang nodded: "You know my character. I am very tight-lipped. I never like to spread gossip..."

"Don't worry! When the time comes, I will answer all your questions and clear up your doubts. This is not only because you are my best friend, but also because I will need you in my future life.

Get your cooperation and support."

Zhou Haiyang smiled bitterly and nodded vigorously.

"1976 is a critical year for our country. From now on to the end of next year, some big things will happen in China. These things are beyond the imagination of most people today.

What I want to tell you is, don’t panic or be afraid of what happens during this period, just wait and see what happens and go with the flow!”

When Zhou Haiyang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He glanced at Liu Yan for a while and then nodded.

"I'm going to finish my busy work and go home," Liu Yan continued.

"You should go back and take a look. When I returned to Ningcheng this time, I heard many people in the compound spreading rumors that the relevant departments are solving the problem of your parents, and they will return to Ningcheng this month. Some people said

It's the official reinstatement, some people say..."

Liu Yan waved his hand and interrupted Zhou Haiyang: "After going through so many things, you should understand that from now on we have to walk our own path and cannot rely on our parents. When the time comes, we will go back to Ningcheng together."

Zhou Haiyang nodded again.

"What I want to tell you is, when you go home, find all your high school textbooks..."

"No, why do you want me to find those textbooks?"

"Just look for it, don't ask why!"

"It's simple. I still have the textbooks from that time."

"That's good! Bring the textbook back then and review it carefully when you have time."

"What do you mean? Are you preparing to take the college entrance examination? Aren't today's workers, peasants and soldiers college students recommended by their units?"

"Listen to me, in the fourth quarter of next year, China will resume the college entrance examination system that has been suspended for ten years, and more than 5.7 million candidates across the country will take the college entrance examination. However, the admission rate is only 5% at best.

The enrollment methods specially formulated by the Ministry of Education are: voluntary application, unified examination, and merit-based admission.

Using test scores to replace family background and social relationships has become the only basis for selecting talents for the college entrance examination.

These more than 5.7 million candidates will come from all walks of life. The key issue is that there is no age limit for candidates. Among them are the third generation in the 1960s and the fresh middle school graduates in the 1977th.

I have to admit that the knowledge base of the above two types of candidates is much better than that of our middle school students in the 1971 class and any other class.

Therefore, if we want to enter college next year, we must work harder than them."

"You are saying that our country will resume the college entrance examination that has been suspended for ten years? How do you know?"

"Don't ask any questions that I promised you shouldn't! I hope that we can all be admitted to university by the end of next year, not just the two of us, but also Lili. The goal is Yenching University or Qinhua University.

Therefore, you must take time to start reviewing. I will compile a review outline for you outside of the textbook as soon as possible."

"You? Prepare the review outline for me?"

"What? Do you think my academic performance in middle school was not as good as yours? I just didn't perform well at that time. How about we make a bet then? Let's see who gets the higher score..."

"No, no, no, no, I found that since you woke up that day, you actually like betting?!"

"Just kidding! I don't have time to joke with you! This is the first thing I want to tell you.

The second thing is that China's economy will undergo earth-shaking changes in the near future, and these changes are beyond the imagination of most people.

Taking the most recent example, in 1978, the Huaxia Stamp Company will officially resume operations and will reprice all stamps issued domestically before 1977 according to international market prices. The new prices will be much higher than the original face value of the stamps.

By the time we graduate from college and start working, that is, after 1982, the price of all stamps will have increased more than ten times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times compared to the face value.

In other words, if the face value of the stamps we currently hold is 1,000 yuan, it will rise to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in five years.

You are my best friend. You share blessings and hardships together. This is my consistent principle as a person, Liu Yan.

If after graduating from college, we decide to continue on the path of our fathers, we must make a first pot of gold for ourselves and our family in an honest and upright manner before embarking on official careers.

Only stamps can quickly establish our personal short, medium and long-term economic income sources and foundations.

And this method does not require us to waste energy and time. The key is to buy it before China’s stamps merge with international standards and before the first zodiac monkey stamp is issued in 1980..."

Zhou Haiyang heard this and said thoughtfully: "I understand what you mean!

In this way, after I get the inventory list of those stamps, I will decide how much money I need to prepare for the purchase based on the variety, quantity, and amount of the inventory list.

If you don’t have enough money on hand, you can borrow it from your family. After my dad resumed work, he was given ten years’ salary in one go. If your parents also resumed work, you can borrow some of the couple’s twenty years’ salary.

, that’s enough!

At that time, we can just pay them the principal and interest at an interest rate that is twice as high as that of the bank, which is much more cost-effective than depositing it in the bank!"

"I can't tell, but you are quite economical and you can get it right."

Zhou Haiyang chuckled: "How else could I have ranked first in mathematics in the middle school year?"

"But how do I remember that Lin Nan told me before joining the army that your Chinese was the last in the whole year."

"Hey, hey, don't expose the scars, okay?!"

"By the way, how is Lin Nan doing in the army? Is everything okay?"

"It's good. She has already joined the party and is in the preparatory period. Next time I go back to Ningcheng with you, I plan to visit her parents..."

[Author's digression]: The long serial novel "Rebirth in 1976 Begins as an Educated Youth" begins in the 1970s and ends in the 21st century, with the main story line spanning more than forty years.

This work is different from many works that describe the official promotion of students from poor families. It mainly describes the children of cadres in Jiangning Province, represented by Liu Yan, who experienced the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. After graduating from university in the early 1980s, they voluntarily gave up their career in ministries and commissions and the province.

The opportunity of the municipal government requires the step-by-step growth process after entering rural grassroots work...

The experiences of that year enabled them to learn to calmly, comprehensively and deeply understand the national conditions and people's conditions, especially the actual situation in rural areas.

They have seen and experienced with their own eyes how huge the difference between urban and rural areas is, how unbalanced regional development is, how poor the vast rural areas are, and the contrast in people's ideological concepts and culture.

They have done their best in the movement to go to the mountains and countryside, in the social projects to change the poverty and backwardness of rural areas, and in the construction of material and spiritual civilization in rural areas, and have achieved indelible achievements.

At the same time, they also clearly realized a reality, that is: to completely change the face of rural poverty, it is not only about getting rid of material poverty, but also about spiritual poverty alleviation, and there is a long way to go.

Going to the mountains and countryside has made them consciously or unconsciously develop a belief in life that is unwilling to lag behind, unwilling to sink, and to forge ahead.

Cultivate the political character of understanding the national conditions and people's sentiments, caring about the destiny of the nation, and hoping for the steady development of the country.
