In 1980, China fully restored the Spring Festival holiday system that had been interrupted for twelve years.

The traditional style of New Year greetings has begun to rise again, completely replacing the revolutionary Spring Festival style of the past twelve years.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Liu Yan, Zhou Haiyang, and Zhuang Yan came to Lin Nan's house.

At noon, I had lunch with Lin Nan’s parents.

After that, the three of them came to Zhou Haiyang's home together. After paying New Year's greetings to Zhou Mingshan and his wife, Liu Yan and Zhuang Yan went home respectively.

Fan Lili spent New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year in Yuanping Village, and rushed from Yongfeng County to Ningcheng on the morning of the second day of the new year.

…

1980 is the year of Gengshen, which is the Year of the Monkey.

Before the Spring Festival, Liu Yan's parents paid back their wages that had been suspended for more than ten years because of the implementation of the policy.

Liu Yan borrowed more than 6,000 yuan from his family and bought 1,000 copies of China's first set of zodiac monkey tickets from the Ningcheng City and Yongfeng County post and telecommunications offices.

Liu Yan told Fan Lili: "This monkey ticket will not only become a symbol of China's philatelic collection in the future, but also a benchmark for China's philatelic market.

The extent of its price appreciation is comparable to the real estate market many years later.

And in every auction, it can hit new highs, deeply shocking everyone."

"Do you really want to make a fortune from these stamps?" Fan Lili asked.

"What's wrong with getting rich? The key is to do it. A gentleman loves money, gets it in a wise way, and uses it wisely.

This money is not all for us, it is enough for us to eat and use in our lifetime, and I am going to do something meaningful."

"Meaningful things?" Fan Lili asked puzzled.

"Well... I did make a lot of money in my previous life. But when I was reborn in this life, in retrospect, none of it was meaningful."

Seeing his wife's confused expression, Liu Yan stretched out his hands, held her face and said, "My dear, you will understand when the time comes!"

………

According to the prior arrangement of Ningcheng City No. 1 Middle School, on the third day of the Spring Festival holiday this year, the school will organize a special lecture on "College Entrance Examination and Life".

Invite Liu Yan, a graduate of the 1971 class of Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, who was the top liberal arts student in the provincial college entrance examination in 1977, to return to his alma mater to give a special speech.

Liu Yan only received the notice the day before the Spring Festival holiday.

The person who made a special trip to send the invitation to Liu Yan's home was the former class teacher of the 1971 class of Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School.

She excitedly said to Liu Yan: "Liu Yan, thank you for bringing glory to your alma mater and to our class.

All the teachers and students in our school have been looking forward to this speech for a long time. Please be sure to come."

The lecture will be held in the school auditorium of Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School.

In addition to all the teachers and students of the graduating senior class of Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, those attending the lecture also included relevant leaders from the Jiangning Provincial Department of Education, Ningcheng City Education Bureau and Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, as well as teachers and students from all previous classes of Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Graduate representative.

Due to family background problems, when the original owner was studying in Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, he was a student who was not outstanding in studies, not eye-catching, and unremarkable.

Including the head teacher who came to send the invitation, he often did not pay attention to the original owner, let alone remember it.

I don't know how many times I went through the process of sending invitations, but I finally found out that Liu Yan lived in the professor's building of Ningcheng Medical University.

Unexpectedly, in the first examination after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, Liu Yan actually won the top prize in the provincial liberal arts college entrance examination and was admitted to the Department of Economics of Yenching University.

This is not only an honor for Jiangning Province and Ningcheng City, but also the first time that Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School has received such a glorious honor since its establishment.

It was more like a depth bomb that blew up all the teachers and students of the 71st graduating class of Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, making them as dizzy as a monk.

It is said that when the Jiangning Provincial College Entrance Examination list was announced in 1977, many teachers from Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School saw the news and Liu Yan’s photo published in Ningcheng Daily, and no one thought of such a student in the 1971 class.

Some teachers even wondered: Could it be that the newspaper reporter made a mistake?!

Until one day, a girl who was sitting in the second-to-last row took photos of her graduating class and compared them with the newspaper for a long time, and finally remembered: the top scorer in the provincial liberal arts college entrance examination turned out to be the one who had been sitting at the end of the classroom for six years.

A row of silent boys.

At this point, everyone seems to have begun to recall and believe this fact.

And suddenly I discovered that Liu Yan is so handsome!

For a time, many girls in the same grade beat their chests and regretted it endlessly.

Before deciding to hold this conference, the school sent many letters to Liu Yan at Yanda University, hoping that he could give a special speech to the graduating class of Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Because Liu Yan did not return to Ningcheng for three consecutive holidays. Even if he returned to Ningcheng, he would go to Yongfeng County within a few days, or go to other counties in the Huaining area to do social research.

Therefore, this special speech had to be postponed again and again.

One day before New Year's Eve, Liu Yan and Liu Ning took their parents to the park. When they walked out of the park gate at noon, they met two young men wearing jeans at the exit.

I saw two cardboard boxes beside them, and they were constantly selling the pants in their hands to passers-by.

One of the young men saw Liu Yan and his family walking out of the park gate, holding two pairs of jeans in his hands. He immediately walked up to Liu Yan and was about to make a sale. He suddenly froze and shouted in surprise: "It's you, Liu Yan!"

Liu Yan turned his face and quickly reacted: "Hey, Lu Tianhai! Why are you here?"

Lu Tianhai immediately turned around and shouted to another young man: "Huang Xiaoyang, who do you think this is?"

When the young man heard this, his eyes immediately turned to Liu Yan. He was stunned and hurried over.

The two of them held Liu Yan's hand and were extremely excited.

"It's so hard to see you!"

"Finally see you!"

"Eight years have passed since we said goodbye at Ningcheng Railway Station in the summer of 1971!"

"Yes! When did you two return to Ningcheng?"

"Before the Spring Festival last year, I followed the large group of educated youths who joined the queue and came back from Yunnan."

"As soon as I returned to the city, I searched everywhere for news about you. When I arrived at the school, I found out that when the college entrance examination resumed at the end of 1977, you actually got admitted to Yenching University and was the top scorer in liberal arts in our province's college entrance examination."

"You are so good! Liu Yan, you have made our school proud."

"That's a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. Why didn't you two get into college?"

"Hi! It's not like you don't know our academic background in school. We never thought about taking the college entrance examination."

The three of them said something to each other...

When Lu Tianhai and Huang Xiaoyang were in Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, they had a good relationship with their original owners. They were at least sympathetic to each other!

Because the three people have had similar experiences in the past ten years, and they are all children of problematic family backgrounds.

Lu Tianhai's grandfather opened a cloth shop in Ningcheng before liberation, and Huang Xiaoyang's grandfather opened a grocery store. Within ten years, they were both descendants of capitalists.

[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!
