Kong Lingchen carried a hoe and followed the members who had finished work, and walked towards the 10th Production Brigade of Xiangyang Commune with tired steps.

There are more than 300 laborers in their brigade, of which more than 200 are local members and more than 80 educated youths in the countryside.

The team was dragged loosely, and the front part was the local members. They were used to farm work since childhood. Although they were a little tired after a day, they could still talk and laugh. Some of the young men even fought and quarreled with each other.

The educated youth who were in the countryside were walking behind, one by one, one by one, with a blank expression.

It’s not that they can’t endure hardships. They have been going to the countryside for so many years, and even if they didn’t know how to do before, they have practiced it. At most, they are not as good as the members. Their fatigue is more spiritual emptiness and numbness in their future.

When we went to the countryside, everyone was full of enthusiasm to develop the frontier, build the frontier, spread scientific knowledge to every corner of the motherland, and help poor and lower-middle peasants stride forward on the road of communism.

After they came, they realized how harsh the environment in the countryside was and how harsh the conditions were. After they really participated in the farm work, they found that the knowledge they learned was useless, and they couldn't even distinguish between dog tail grass and rice ears, so they had to learn everything from scratch!

Re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants!

It turns out that sending them to the countryside is not to let them teach farmers, but to let them receive re-education from farmers! Moreover, they have been taught for several years, and more than ten years, "graduation" is nowhere to be found, without any news. It is like cheating them out of the city and throwing them into the countryside and leaving them alone!

After the enthusiasm fades, all that is left is anxiety and boredom. When the remaining expectation is also stifled, oneself abandons oneself, despair, numbness, and thoughts such as monks hit the clock every day, become the norm in the life of educated youth.

Some educated youth who couldn't stand it chose to marry locals, and some had already given birth to children, but more people still refused to surrender to reality.

Most of them came from cities and really had no common language from farmers. They had different living environments and different levels of education. It was difficult for both parties to find topics of interest. Getting married was just because they were too depressed and wanted to find a partner.

Local members also look down on this group of educated youth. A group of spoiled urban children, three of whom can’t stand the ability to work. If you don’t understand, just study. It’s not that anyone knows everything after birth. But these children still regard themselves as noble and refuse to listen to the old members’ teachings. They often mess around or just do whatever they want.

Over time, although the two sides are not in power, they are all in their own way and are clearly divided.

"Kong Lingchen, have you heard that the school on Longkang is about to open." He Yuanchao, a educated youth from Chengdu, leaned over and said in a low voice.

"ah."

Kong Lingchen dragged his throat and responded weakly. Why is the hoe so heavy today? Is there too much clay on it, causing the shoulders to hurt?

He was willing to put down his hoe and take a look, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. He followed the butt of the person in front of him and moved forward step by step.

But he knew it himself, because there was a fire burning in his heart.

Why, why do those who have been to the Wild School go to school? He is a top student in No. 35 Middle School, but he has to face the loess and the sky every day. In order to make three meals a day, he wield a heavy hoe to work in the fields with a heavy hoe?

If he had known this would be the case, he might as well follow the others and run over. Even if he was beaten to death, it would be better than living a day by day!

"Damn, that bastard Jia Zhiwen has come back again. He is wearing a clean military uniform and armed belt. He is so proud that he will come to our dormitory and yell at us how he is at the 291st Brigade. He also said that their troops have given subsidies now, and ordinary soldiers have twenty yuan. He has become a deputy in the small class, and he has to pay two more yuan! Seeing his villain's successful appearance, I want to beat him up!" He Yuanchao cursed, but his tone was full of sourness.

A large part of the educated youth who ran over were assigned to Yunnan. Although one is on a farm and the other has joined the People's Army, they have not completely cut off contact with each other. Occasionally, some educated youths will go to their original farms during holidays to chat with their former brothers and friends.

Jia Zhiwen went out of their commune, and there were a few fellow alumni here, so it was not surprising that he came back.

But he has come back more recently. There are several times when it is said that before the holiday is coming, he has also come back. He has been hiding around in the dormitory and caught people and bragging how it is so good that he can eat, and sometimes he can eat meat. In the past few days, he started to brag about every soldier in their brigade. He has a minimum monthly allowance of 20 yuan. There is also a military service club, and they can buy everything sold in the county.

But many people like to listen to what he said. Every time he comes, many people come over to listen to the fun. Because everyone is not motivated, more and more people are cheating. Although they still go to the fields every day, the harvest in the fields is getting smaller and smaller. The food in the canteen is also getting lower and lower. The food in the canteen is also getting lower and lower, and educated youth rarely get full.

Listening to Jia Zhiwen blowing through the sea, although everyone was still hungry, they felt much fuller mentally.

Some like him, and naturally some hate him.

Some people secretly ran to inform the commune when he came - Jia Zhiwen ran away by himself, and his nature was the same as a deserter. Even if the commune caught him, he would not criticize him, and he would have to beat him up and let him suffer a little.

But Jia Zhiwen was also cunning. He sent someone to watch outside every time. When he found the people sent by the commune to capture him from afar, he immediately ran away. As a result, the commune wanted to capture this typical example several times, but he escaped.

I didn't expect that today will come again.

This time, I was boasting about the new school that will be established by the 291st Brigade. It is said that hundreds of teachers have been invited from China to teach them. As long as I pass the high school education examination, I can get the allocation and enter the factory to become a worker.

I'm gonna be!

I'll just sweat and fall on the ground and fall eight petals. You kid can actually go to the factory to work as a worker! What a bad world, it's so fucking unfair!

This is not the first time Kong Lingchen has heard of this news. There have been similar words on other farms before, but he chose not to believe it.

I can't believe it. After believing it, will I feel even more unbalanced?

Sometimes he also had a vague feeling that the news has been spreading too much recently. Not only in our commune, but also in other communes, there have been constant news from the 291st Brigade. Could it be that someone was organizing behind the scenes and spreading news on a large scale among domestic educated youth.

However, this idea flashed through, and whether or not he could spread the news was not something he could control. The key point was not who was spreading it, whether it was organized or purposefully spread among educated youth, but whether these news was true!

His back coat was pulled. When he looked back, he found that it was his girlfriend, Xue Zhen, an educated youth from Zhaoqing, Guangdong.

After staying in the countryside for a long time, he lost hope for the future. He had no confidence that he could survive until he returned to the city to find a girl from his hometown to get married. Xiaozhen is a good person. Although she is not particularly beautiful, she is also an educated youth who was sent to the countryside and is very gentle. He launched an offensive and tried his best to chase her. The two of them officially confirmed their relationship half a year ago.

"Ling Chen, I heard that the 291st Brigade..." Xiaozhen quietly pulled him aside and whispered.

"School is about to start, right? I almost heard the calluses in my ears! I tell you not to ask around. Maybe these things are really. Who knows what the person who spread these news is about to rest. Besides, don't the commune know? If you have the intention to wear these news, it's better to wash my clothes when you have time." Kong Lingchen said impatiently.

"It's not a mess, I tell you, I heard that the 291st Brigade has no choice to recruit students this time, and anyone can sign up for classes! If you learn it, you will be treated the same as their soldiers and you can also be assigned!" Xiaozhen said to him very seriously without listening to him.

"What a joke!" Kong Lingchen stopped immediately.

He was determined not to believe the news, and he stretched out his fingers and clenched his ears, trying to confirm that he was not blocked by earwax and had auditory hallucinations.

No choice to recruit students?

Can't people from the 291st Brigade go to school?

After learning, I will also provide the allocation!

His mind buzzed, as if someone had sounded a big bell on his head, which made him dizzy. The scenery in front of him also became blurred, and his heart was beating violently, as if he was about to be unable to breathe. He had to open his mouth and breathe vigorously to ensure that he could deliver sufficient oxygen to the heart.

The world in front of him became a little red. I wonder if it was because of the congestion, but just grabbed Xiaozhen's shoulder and said in a hoarse voice: "There is no choice to recruit students? You can also provide the allocation. Who did you hear? Is it true?"

"pain!"

Xiaozhen's tears were almost flowing out, and she tried hard to tear his hands, but Kong Lingchen's hands were like big pliers, clamping her shoulders tightly, making her unable to move.

"I'm sorry, I, I'm so excited!"

Kong Lingchen had not lost his mind yet. After a while, he suddenly realized that he had hurt his girlfriend. He quickly let go of his hand and kept apologizing. Finally, he asked, "What did you say just now?"

"Of course it's true!" Xiaozhen ignored him and was angry, but when he saw his eager expression, he still softened his heart. "This is the news brought back by Jia Zhiwen. The brigade commander said that building a high-tech new city requires a lot of high-tech talents. They don't have it now, and they will definitely not be able to hire it in China, so they plan to train themselves. Anyway, the troops can only use classes at night, and it is wasted no use during the day, so they plan to recruit students without choice, so they can maximize efficiency by combining day teaching and night school learning."

It's actually true, it's actually true!

Kong Lingchen's heart was beating, and he was not so resistant to the news that Jia Zhiwen had spread. He had only one idea in his mind: "I can go to school too! Then I can get rid of my current life state, go to work in the factory, and return to urban life!"

He suddenly thought of a question: "But the 291st Brigade is very far away from us. If you go there to go to school, you will definitely have to escape from the commune. What should you do in the future?"

In his heart, he had no option to escape from the commune. He had no choice but to run to the 291st Brigade and no source of income, so how to survive.

"It's okay!" Xiaozhen's face shone brightly, and she also looked excited. "Jia Zhiwen said that the school does not charge fees and also provides accommodation. Three meals a day are provided by the army. This is considered a commissioned training student of the army. Each commissioned training student will sign a commissioned training contract on a voluntary basis to ensure that she works in the military factory for at least five years after graduating from high school..."

"No problem, no problem! Don't say five years, fifteen years, fifty years, or fifty years!" Kong Lingchen smiled.

What's this matter!

It is the wish of every educated youth to be able to live in the city. This contract is not only not a constraint on them, but it is a desperate need!

The sunset was setting, and the sky that had become a little dark and red, but it was so bright in his eyes, full of hope for the future.

He raised his head happily, and was about to express his happy mood, but found that the educated youth team stopped at some point, and they all gathered together in groups of three or three, talking about something fiercely and excitedly.

The breeze blew by, and he seemed to hear "...providing food and accommodation.........commissioning..."

His mood suddenly became nervous. He looked around and found that almost everyone was like this. Even the educated youth who had already started their own family and had children showed a mysterious expression, avoiding others and whispering to their companions and lovers.

He took a strong breath, grabbed Xiaozhen's hand suddenly, leaned into her ear, and said very seriously: "Xiaozhen, I decided to leave tonight, will you go?"

"Ah? So fast? Of course I have to go, but I have to prepare more, right?" Xiaozhen didn't expect that he would react so fiercely. Judging from his appearance, if he hadn't been afraid that the goal would be obvious now, he might have already rushed towards the border line at this moment.

"You are stupid! Look at other people, I don't know how many people have our ideas! Our brigade is like this, what about other brigades? What about other farms? At that time, there will definitely be many educated youths going there. This scale may not be smaller than when the People's Party first got up in the past few years! Look, at that time, the domestic side will definitely increase its management efforts to stop too many people from running over. If you want to run, you have to run early, and if you are late, you may not be able to run away!"
