"Young, city man!"

"The sun is shining brightly on my buttocks. Can't you afford it?"

A voice reached Yan Jiekuang's ears, causing Yan Jiekuang to immediately turn over and sit up, getting dressed in a panic.

Standing at the door was a man in his thirties with yellow teeth.

This man was Yan Jiekuang who joined the team at the beginning, and was assigned to work by the master assigned to him by the production team.

To be honest, no one wants to do this - with such a burden, if the work is not done well, it will be a waste of earning work points.

If you earn less work points, you will receive less food next year, and you will have to eat less.

I didn't even have enough to eat, so I had to rely on sweet potatoes and steamed buns. One can imagine what this man's attitude towards Yan Jiekuang was.

Of course, this situation lasted for a while, and the man kicked Yan Jiekuang out of the school and went to earn work points himself.

It’s really not that people are selfish, it’s about how much they eat next year, whether they have enough money, and there’s no room for carelessness.

However, even so, there is still something wrong.

That is the urban youths such as Yan Jiekuang who go to the countryside to join the queue. They are so useless. Their work is not as good as the hard-working and hardworking farmers who were born and raised in the country.

Therefore they were all ridiculed.

Moreover, the urban youth who go to the countryside to join the queue are not good at work and will not play much role.

After the state provides several hundred kilograms of grain subsidies in the first year, in every remaining year, these queue-jumpers are in potential competition with rural men for grain shares.

There are only so many fields in the countryside, and the farming methods and intensive farming of traditional agriculture have reached the output limit. In this case, the food has not increased, but the rural people are getting more and more work points as the population increases and educated youth join the queue.

.

This is why we work hard to earn work points, but in the end we all can’t afford to eat and starve together.

With more people and the output of the fields reaching its limit, it does make sense to earn work points, but the work points of strong laborers are constantly depreciating, making it increasingly difficult to have enough to eat.

Not many rural men have figured this out.

But they could see that after the arrival of the educated youth sent to the countryside, this group of "outsiders", "city dwellers who don't know how to work" and "elegant and useless people" took away the village's share of food.

Therefore, out of the simplest concept of "he came to steal my food", some villagers in the countryside are hostile and reject the educated youth.

People are different from person to person, and villages are also different from village to village.

There are places where educated youths are treated kindly, and there are also places where educated youths are particularly hard-working and clever, so that people do not reject them or show hostility.

But Yan Jiekuang obviously didn't work hard and was so clever that he was recognized by his fellow villagers as a member of the production team.

Just like Yan Jiekuang now, he is being urged to get up, wash his face in a hurry, and go to work in the fields with the production team and other educated youths.

While walking on the road, Yan Jiekuang saw a woman in coarse cloth holding a squealing child in her arms. She was taking out milk and coaxing her to feed the child.

Every time Yan Jiekuang saw it, he felt indescribable.

This is Wang Aihong, a female educated youth who married the son of the production team leader, a fellow villager in Sandaokouzi Village.

She is a girl from the eastern province. She graduated from high school and was preparing to take the college entrance examination. She devoted all her time to study and study. As soon as she joined the production team, she was exhausted from the farm work.

Yan Jiekuang didn't know exactly what happened. Anyway, she married a fellow villager in about a year.

A quiet and delicate girl just stayed in a fellow villager's house, doing housework every day, and then her belly gradually bulged.

By now, her face was as red as a rural woman's.

It's just that the original calmness has not been completely polished off.

She also learned a lot of rude habits, such as turning around to feed her baby when she cried.

Full of complicated thoughts, Yan Jiekuang came to the field and started doing farm work with him.

In fact, farm work does not happen every day, but the members of the production team are doing it for fear that if they don't work that day, their work points will be lost.

So everyone does a lot of work every day and is very tired every day. Then every year, we have to make do with grain and whole grains to barely survive.

They are filled with a sense of accomplishment and expectation year after year, but feel disappointed year after year. In fact, their enthusiasm is also being dampened.

What they need is not to desperately "look for work" every day every day, but also to "make the cake bigger and better" and improve productivity before they can change this embarrassing situation.

If you keep busy and "roll" until the end, it will be ruined, and if it is ruined until the end, it will be a forced change.

Yan Jiekuang didn't know the reason behind this. He only knew that he didn't want to work, but he still had to work, and he had to do a lot of work.

Digging the ground, digging ditches...there are all kinds of farm work waiting for me every day, and I can never finish it.

Sometimes he thought that if he were a woman and couldn't survive, she might find a capable rural laborer to marry.

Sometimes he also thought that it would not be bad to find a rural woman who could work and have a litter of babies with him.

However, more often when he came back to his senses and thought about the distant Sijiu City and the things in the courtyard, Yan Jiekuang could not allow himself to go on like this.

It’s so hard here, so unbearable!

He simply couldn't stand it anymore.

The eldest brother Yan Jiecheng works in a machinery factory and his monthly salary is more than 20 yuan. He can definitely eat and drink well in the factory cafeteria.

The second brother, Yan Jiefang, is also a formal boiler worker in the steel rolling mill, earning twenty or thirty yuan a month. Now he is married and has a house.

None of them, like Yan Jiekuang, worked hard to die every day, and yet they were ridiculed and looked at with cold eyes. In the end, they still didn't have enough to eat, and their hungry stomachs growled from time to time!

It's not that Yan Jiekuang is mean, he really stole sweet potatoes from fellow villagers to fill his stomach, which really made his hungry stomach burst into flames; he is not the only one, no matter how elegant the girl, no matter how polite the scholar, the educated youth are more or less

, I took the food from fellow villagers’ homes and the production team, and it was so bad that my chest pressed against my back, and I couldn’t stop eating it.

"Yan Jiekuang, your letter!"

While he was looking at it, a man riding a bicycle and carrying a post office bag stopped on the path beside the fields and waved a letter to Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang's heart skipped a beat, he ran over and opened the letter.

Inside is a letter written by Yan Bugui: With the help of Director He Yuzhu, a recruitment letter for the steel rolling mill was issued, allowing Yan Jiekang to return to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill in Sijiucheng to work.

Yan Jiekuang's palms were trembling, and he unfolded the other envelope with an official seal, signed, and fair recruitment paper. Tears filled his eyes immediately, he cried and laughed, and even jumped up on the field ridge.

"I can finally return to the city!"
Chapter completed!
