After Liu Yan pondered for a while, he then said to Zhou Haiyang: "One more thing, you have to help me think about the county supply and marketing cooperative, what familiar connections do we have..."

"Supply and marketing cooperative? What do you want to buy?"

"Let me tell you this! What I just said was all about ourselves. As the saying goes, if you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.

However, we can't just think about ourselves, we also have to think about the people of Genpei and help them do something meaningful. After all, we have been here for more than five years.

For a long period of time in the future, rural education and medical care will be the focus of China's economic development in order to get rid of poverty in rural areas and become prosperous.

If we want to enter the official career after graduating from university, from now on, we must gradually explore and find a way to revitalize the rural economy and a model suitable for the development of the socialist rural economy."

"No, do you really want to enter a career when you graduate from college?"

"Yes, our generation has experienced more than ten years of ups and downs, especially going to the mountains and countryside.

No one understands the national conditions better than we do, and no one can empathize with the people's sentiments better than we do.

All my life, I just want to really do things for the people and do more things.

At the same time, I also hope that you can walk this road with me.

Therefore, I plan to do two things for Yuanping Village before going to college.

One of the most troublesome things for me is the construction of Yuanping Highway.

Unexpectedly, after using the topic at the meeting today, Secretary Pei and your father readily agreed to help.

It is estimated that after your father reports this matter to the General Administration, he should be able to obtain some funds.

If Secretary Pei works harder, the provincial finance, city finance and county finance can still provide some money.

The Yuanping Highway is the foundation for the long-term economic development of Yuanping. Only by building the Yuanping Highway can the educational and medical conditions of Yuanping be improved, and the lives of the people of Yuanping improved.

This can be regarded as an explanation from the two of us to Yuanping Village and Secretary Fan Yanping.

You must keep an eye on your dad for me on this matter.

How much money the Earthquake Administration can allocate depends on your ability.

At tonight’s dinner table, Secretary Pei promised me that the construction of Yuanping Highway will be a key project in Yongfeng County this year. The project will be approved in early September at the latest. Construction will start before the National Day this year. It must be used as a gift for Yongfeng County’s National Day next year.

Regarding this matter, we have to tell Pei Xiaohong to keep an eye on her father.

If the Yuanping Highway can be opened to traffic before we go to college, it will relieve my worries."

"Listening to what you said, I feel that not only Pei Xiaohong, this matter should also mobilize other educated youths who have returned to the city in our educated youth centers to let them do work for their parents.

In our Yuanping Educated Youth Center, most of the people who come from the county to join the queue are the children of cadres from Yongfeng County. These people have a good relationship with me and can help in some way.

Tan Yuanyuan, do you remember? Her father is the deputy director of the County Revolutionary Committee.

Yuan Shanshan, Yue Xiaoming.

The fathers of these three people are all members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee...

Oh, that's right! I remembered, Wang Qiang...yes! Wang Qiang's father is the director of the county supply and marketing cooperative, that's right! You can contact his father about the county supply and marketing cooperative."

"Great! Before we leave Yuanping, we must build a bamboo factory for Yuanping. You just came back and helped me a lot."

"Bamboo factory? What do you mean..."

“I want to find a stable path for the long-term economic development of Yuanping Village, so that the suffering people of Yuanping can earn more money.

The most abundant local resource in Yuanping is bamboo, and every household, including the elderly and children, can make bamboo crafts.

I have discussed this matter with Lili's father. If the women and elderly people of Yuanping are organized, it will not only create considerable income for the finance of the Yuanping production team in a year, but also increase the personal income of the members.

Fan Yanping expressed his full support for me, and he would find ways to do the work of the commune.

When I talked to Fan Yanping on the phone after today's meeting, he said that he would report this matter to the commune tomorrow.

I estimate that since the Yuanping Highway issue has taken the lead, Tianyuan Commune will not oppose the bamboo factory.

The key now is to connect with the county supply and marketing cooperative to open up the market for bamboo products."

"I didn't expect that after being beaten by Lili and her second brother and sleeping all night, these ideas popped up in your mind...

If these two major projects, the Yuanping Highway and the Bamboo Factory, are completed, then we will really benefit the people of Yuanping."

Liu Yan did not follow Zhou Haiyang's words, but continued: "China will undergo great changes in the future, our country will get better and better, and people's lives will also get better and better.

No matter what happens to us in the future, we must always keep the people in mind and do our part for them.

This is what I think. Tomorrow we will contact the county supply and marketing cooperative to open the road to the county supply and marketing cooperative.

When we return to Ningcheng, ask your dad to help contact the provincial supply and marketing cooperative and the Ningcheng supply and marketing cooperative.

If the Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative can directly cooperate with Yuanping Bamboo Factory, then this matter will be considered a success!"

"Okay! I'll call Wang Qiang in a moment and ask him to accompany us to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow morning."

Zhou Haiyang paused and then said: "By the way, when are you going to return to Yuanping?

While eating, I heard my dad say that Pei Xiaohong’s dad wanted to invite us to sit at home before leaving."

"I'll go to the county supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow morning, and I'll have to rush back to Tianyuan Commune tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

To be honest, it took a lot of effort to come to the county town. If I have enough time, I really want to meet these educated youths from the county who have returned to the city.

During these years in the educated youth center, due to family problems, I rarely communicated with these people, and some of them couldn't even get their names right.

Fortunately, you have maintained a good relationship with everyone. There will be many things in the future that will require their help and cooperation.

But I made a promise to Lili that I will go back tomorrow and I can’t keep her waiting for too long..."

"How about we go to Pei Xiaohong's house at noon tomorrow. There are two shuttle buses from the county to Tianyuan Commune in the afternoon, so we will definitely be able to make it in time."

[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.
