On the evening of the fourth day after Liu Yan and Zhou Haiyang returned to Yuanping, Pei Xiaohong made a phone call from the county seat to the Yuanping Village brigade headquarters.

Pei Xiaohong said to Liu Yan on the phone: "Liu Yan, we have found clues about supplying bamboo products to the county supply and marketing cooperative.

Starting after the Spring Festival this year, all the bamboo products of the county supply and marketing cooperative will be purchased from a bamboo shop in a county in the neighboring province of Jiangning.

First of all, do you know who this supplier is related to?"

"No need to guess, this relationship must be in our Yongfeng County, and he is a head of the county. His position will not be lower than Wang Yufeng, at least he is a person with real power."

"Yes, I didn't expect this matter to be related to Lin Junping's father, Lin Jianming, director of the County Family Planning Office."

Lin Junping is a graduate of the 70th class of Yongfeng County No. 1 Middle School. He is two classes higher than Pei Xiaohong and is a classmate with Pei Xiaohong's brother.

He arrived in Yuanping Village a year earlier than Liu Yan and others and was the first educated youth captain of Yuanping Educated Youth Point. In 1974, he recruited workers and returned to the city.

"Lin Junping's father, how did he get involved with a bamboo shop in other provinces?"

"This bamboo shop owner from another province has a relative who works for Lin Junping's father. This person's name is Qu Heng. Do you know who found this clue?"

"It's not you, it's Wang Qiang, who else?"

"It's Liang Ming!"

"Liang Ming? Did you ask him for help?"

"You don't know this, right? Liang Ming is a famous elf in Yongfeng County. As long as he wants to know, nothing can escape his eyes.

After I received your call that day, I called Liang Ming and described what happened to him.

At noon that day, Liang Ming immediately approached Wang Qiang and said he was looking for a quiet place to have a good chat.

When the two people were walking on the road, they met Qu Heng. Wang Qiang and Qu Heng greeted each other.

Liang Ming immediately felt that this person looked familiar. After walking by, he suddenly remembered that he had seen this person when he was with Lin Junping one day.

He immediately asked Wang Qiang: Who is this person?

Wang Qiang said that he was a staff member of the county family planning office named Qu Heng, who was mainly responsible for connecting the family planning work of various communes.

Liang Ming couldn't help being stunned and asked Wang Qiang: How do you know the Family Planning Office?

Wang Qiang said he had seen this man twice in his father's office.

After Liang Ming heard about it, he immediately became suspicious: What connection did an ordinary staff member of the Family Planning Office have with Wang Yufeng?

If it is a work matter, Lin Jianming should come forward! Is it a private matter?

So, at noon that day, Liang Ming simply invited Wang Qiang to drink, hoping to learn something from Wang Qiang.

Unexpectedly, during the chat between the two, Wang Qiang accidentally revealed that his two uncles in his rural hometown were planning to have more children...

That afternoon, Liang Ming found a buddy from the County Public Security Bureau to secretly investigate the situation in Qu Heng's hometown.

Unexpectedly, Qu Heng's family owned a bamboo shop in a county in a neighboring province.

In this way, Liang Ming connected the bamboo shop in Qu Heng's hometown, the suspicion of Wang Yufeng's two brothers' family planning, and everything in between...Liu Yan, are you listening?"

"Well! I'm listening, you continue."

"Think about it, how can Qu Heng get close to someone like Wang Yufeng?

Moreover, since he has no foundation or connections in Yongfeng, the only way to get to know Wang Yufeng is through Lin Jianming.

The reason why Lin Jianming introduced Qu Heng to Wang Yufeng was because there must be an interest transaction between Lin Jianming and Qu Heng.

The reason why Wang Yufeng agreed to purchase goods from the bamboo shop in Qu Heng's hometown may be a transaction of interest between Lin Jianming and Wang Yufeng, or it may be that Lin Jianming took advantage of Wang Yufeng's two younger brothers."

"The analysis is correct! Keep going."

"Immediately afterwards, Liang Ming began to use his father Liang Zhifeng, and asked me to use my father to learn about Wang Yufeng's situation in recent years.

As a result, what Liang Ming and I knew was consistent. Wang Yufeng was a very honest person, and there could be no financial transactions with Lin Jianming or Qu Heng.

Then, the problem focuses on his two younger brothers from his hometown, and they must be involved in family planning work.

At the same time, Liang Ming did not relax his comprehensive investigation into Lin Jianming.

Liang Ming has a primary school classmate who runs a printing shop and has been printing family planning brochures for the county family planning office.

That night, Liang Ming invited him to drink. After getting him drunk, he brought the topic to the county family planning office and Lin Jianming.

The classmate told Liang Ming that Lin Jianming was greedy and would accept anyone with big or small money.

In the business of printing family planning promotional materials, he gave Lin Jianming more than 40,000 yuan in kickbacks.

And during the construction of the county family planning service station last year, Lin Jianming accepted a total of more than 50,000 yuan in cash from the builder, and the builder was also a classmate of Liang Ming's primary school.

It is determined from this that Lin Jianming most likely received benefits from Qu Heng or the bamboo shop in the bamboo products business of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative."

"The two charges of accepting printed matter and construction project kickbacks are enough for Lin Jianming. Xiaohong, where is Wang Yufeng's hometown?"

"It's in the Mingyang Production Team of Tianyuan Commune, less than thirty kilometers away from the Yuanping Brigade."

"Okay! Arrange a time as soon as possible for Haiyang and I to go to Mingyang Production Team. You ask Liang Ming to do Wang Qiang's work well and strive for Wang Qiang's cooperation, but Wang Yufeng must not let Wang Yufeng know about this matter."

"Sorry Liu Yan, in order to verify the situation as soon as possible, Liang Ming, Wang Qiang and I rushed to the Mingyang production team yesterday morning and met Wang Qiang's two uncles.

Indeed, as we learned from Wang Qiang's mouth, his two uncles were both superborn.

One of the uncles gave birth to a child in March this year, and after the child was one month old, he was sent to a family in the next county to be raised. His wife is now pregnant again.

Another uncle's daughter-in-law is due to give birth next month, and she is also hiding in her parents' house, not daring to come back.

I'm sorry, but the reason why I didn't tell you this until today is entirely because of Liang Ming and I's wishes. It's mainly because of your current status and family situation, and it's not easy for you to show up in officialdom.

I don’t want to cause trouble when your parents are about to come back.

Therefore, we do not want you to be involved in the handling of this matter."

[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 careers 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.
