Chapter 1069 : The Determination Is Made!
New Year's Eve. School cafeteria!
After two days of busyness and preparation, it’s New Year’s Eve.
After posting the couplets, every household relaxed, as if they had been busy for a year just for this day.
Regardless of whether the families in the village are in good or average condition, they have been busy preparing New Year's Eve dinner since the afternoon.
The adults were enjoying themselves, the children were joyful, and the festive atmosphere was very strong.
At the same time, the primary school in the village also became lively!
All the educated youth gathered together today, ready to have a good gathering before everyone goes their separate ways!
Everyone knows that if nothing happens, this will be the last year they spend together.
Moreover, it will be difficult to gather so many people together in the future.
The reason is also simple. After the Chinese New Year, they will receive admission notices from the school one after another, and then they will go to school to register for college.
According to the current career selection arrangements for national team college graduates, they will be assigned priority to work back to their place of origin after graduation. Only those students with special majors will be separately arranged by their superiors.
Therefore, the possibility of these people returning to work in Babaoliang Village after graduation is extremely slim.
We are about to part ways, so everyone cherishes this opportunity to get together.
In order to allow everyone to eat, drink and have fun, the educated youth captains Cui Jinjin and Liu Lu started preparing for this party early. They purchased a large amount of supplies, from various kinds of wine, meat and vegetables to melon seeds, peanuts and candies.
We have everything you need, and even specially purchased a large number of firecrackers.
Since the school has been out for a while, the canteen has not been used for a long time. Both the kitchen and the eating area are full of dust and look dirty.
Therefore, on New Year's Eve, Cui Qianjin came to the school early in the morning with a large number of educated youths and began to clean up the school cafeteria.
At the same time, after cleaning up, they lit up the two huge stoves in the cafeteria.
All the tables, chairs and benches were arranged as if they were sitting at a big banquet. It took half a day to complete.
After lunch, Liu Lu brought Li Lan and a large number of lesbians to the school.
After these lesbians arrived, they immediately set up the big pots and stoves, and then got busy in an orderly manner.
Zhou Yang arrived at the school at 1:30 in the afternoon. In addition to himself, Li Youwei also came with him.
Although she is not an educated youth, Li Youwei gets along very well with these educated youths.
Especially since last year, many educated youths have gone to Zhou's house to ask Li Youwei for help when they encounter problems in their studies. Therefore, everyone strongly requested Zhou Yang to bring Li Youwei with him.
In fact, not only Zhou Yang, but also other married male and female educated youths also brought their significant other over tonight.
But everyone had a tacit understanding not to bring the baby over!
After all, this is a party for adults. Children will only make trouble when they come over, and they won’t let go when there are children playing around!
Zhou Yang and Li Youwei did not bring their children, and they left all their children with Lao Zhang and Huang Rufeng.
When they arrived at the school cafeteria, it was almost decorated.
More than twenty large round tables were neatly arranged, filled with melon seeds, peanuts and various candies. Several large round tables near the kitchen were filled with freshly made dumplings.
In order to allow everyone to eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, Liu Lu and her female educated youth started making dumplings starting yesterday. It is said that they made more than 7,000 dumplings in one night, which was enough for everyone.
In the kitchen of the restaurant, Li Lan and more than a dozen female educated youths were busy.
The rows of pots and stoves are all stewed with meat, including pork, chicken, mutton, etc. Although the meat has not been stewed yet, the rich aroma of meat has already wafted out of the kitchen and spread far and wide.
...
After seeing Zhou Yang and Li Youwei arriving, I didn't know who was taking the lead, and the whole restaurant suddenly burst into warm applause.
Everyone is grateful to Zhou Yang from the bottom of their hearts. They all know that if it weren't for Zhou Yang, they might still be starving now, and they would even have no hope of getting into college.
If nothing else, they cannot hire high-level tutors.
Especially the educated youths who were not originally joining the queue in Babaoliang Village. I think it was Zhou Yang who defied all opinions and agreed to transfer them to Babaoliang Village.
They are simple people, and at this moment they just want to give the warmest applause to Zhou Yang!
Zhou Yang also understood everyone's mood, and he did not stop everyone. He just took Li Youwei and bowed to everyone.
After the applause had subsided, Cui Qianjin, the chief planner of the gathering, came to the front and said loudly: "Comrades, Lao Zhou and his wife are here now, let's all take a seat!"
"Ten people sit at a table, and everyone can mix and match freely. After we are seated, let's have fun first, and then we'll have dinner as soon as eight o'clock arrives!"
"good!"
Afterwards, everyone followed Cui Qianjin's instructions and looked for seats to sit down.
When Zhou Yang and Li Youwei were looking for a suitable place to sit, Bai Yang came over and pulled them to a large round table at the front.
In addition to the couple and Bai Yang, there were also Wang Ping'an and Xu Siping on this big round table. They were the first educated youths to join the queue in Babaoliang Village. Most of them had joined the queue for more than seven years, and some even
More than ten years.
As for the others, although the time they spent jumping in the queue was long and short, they all moved to Babao Liang the year before last.
After everyone sat down, Cui Jinjin said again: "Comrades, originally I planned to go home to celebrate the New Year this year. I wanted to go back and tell my parents the good news. I was admitted to college. I even asked someone for the train ticket.
Already bought."
"On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, there was a sudden snowstorm, and my plan to go home was in vain. I think many comrades here must be in the same situation as me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd echoed: "Who says it's not the case? I asked for leave half a month ago, bought the tickets, and was waiting to go home after dividing the meat, but was stopped by Xue.
Got it!"
"Who is not like this? I arrived at the county seat and waited to go to Ning City the next day, but the bus stopped leaving the next day. Are you angry or not?"
"Hahaha, it's all the same...it's all the same..."
Hearing everyone's words echoing his own, Cui Jinjin smiled again and said: "Although it's a bit regretful that I can't go home for the New Year, it's not a bad thing. It's quite meaningful for us to get together together.
"
"After all, this will be the last year we spend in Babaoliang Village, and we will probably not have such an opportunity again in the future!"
After hearing this, the noise in the cafeteria gradually became quieter until it became completely quiet.
Although everyone had thought about this, they didn't take it seriously.
Most people were even very happy when they thought about this, finally leaving this small village where they had wasted nearly ten years of their youth.
But when Cui Jinjin revealed the matter on such an occasion, everyone couldn't help but feel a little bit off guard.
After all, everyone has stayed here for so many years, the longer one is ten years, the shorter one is five or six years. It can be said that they have spent their best years in Yunshan County and Unity Commune.
I have to leave suddenly, and it’s hard to avoid feeling a little bit reluctant to leave!
"Comrades, it's not time to say goodbye yet, so don't rush to be sad. It's not too late to cry when you really have to leave!"
Then Cui Jinjin continued: "Today is a happy day for the reunion of thousands of families, and we have to have fun too. When I asked you to prepare for the show a few days ago, each of us clapped our chests and promised that it would be fine. Now it's time for the mule or the horse to be pulled out.
!”
Hearing this, everyone in the cafeteria was amused, and the slightly sad atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant!
At this time, Cui Jinjin on the stage said again: "Comrades, who do you want to see perform in this first show?"
"Zhou Yang!"
"Zhou Yang!"
"Zhou Yang..."
Listening to everyone's shouts in unison, Cui Jinjin looked at Zhou Yang with a smile, and then said: "Old Zhou, you have heard the cry of the masses, you can do whatever you want!"
Zhou Yang didn't show any pretense, he immediately stood up from his seat and strode towards the front desk...
