Rebirth in 1976 begins with educated youth

"Don't point all your fingers at me, okay!" Liu Yan waved his hand with a smile, touched his nose again, and thought for a while: "I have a proposal. I hope everyone sitting here tonight can tell a story. .

And the story must be one’s own personal experience in Genpei, such as the story about eating Yiku rice that the educated youth mentioned just now.

It must not be made up, it must be a true story.There is really no story, just talk about feelings.

After everyone has finished speaking, I will sing another song for you at the end, okay? "

"Okay! Okay!" Then there was another burst of cheers and applause.

……

"By the way! I have a question that I know should I ask?" asked a male educated youth.

"As long as it is a fact related to the educated youth farm, I will tell you everything I know," Zhou Haiyang said.

The male educated youth continued:

The day before leaving the farm, I went to say goodbye to Uncle Liu alone.

Because for a long time, I have been trying to figure out one thing: how did the landlord exploit him back then?

I feel that every time he remembers the bitter and misses the sweet, he always talks about the sweet, but cannot say anything about the bitter.

After all, isn't the hardest part of herding cattle every day?

What do you think Uncle Liu said?

He said that the place where he lived was more than 100 miles away from Yuanping, and it was a sparsely populated ravine.

There are only five families living in the ravine, and the life of each family is not good.

The family with the best life can only have enough to eat, and these are all coarse grains.

The family has a few acres of ancestral land, but the family has a small population and no strong labor force.

He had no choice but to hire a long-term worker and Uncle Liu, so he was classified as a landlord.

Uncle Liu told me that we are all from the same village, and every time we work, their family also works together.

Every time we eat, everyone eats at the same table and eats the same food.

At that time, because she saw that Uncle Liu was an orphan and felt pity for him, the landlord's mother-in-law adopted him.

But they have always been treated as members of their own family. Uncle Liu and his son have been like brothers since they were young, going to the mountains to herd cattle and cut grass together.

According to Uncle Liu, the landlord's mother-in-law was seriously ill and died the year before last, and she kept mumbling his name until she died.

For this reason, the landlord's grandson went up the mountain to tell him, but he did not dare to ask for leave from the team to see her.

One person just hid in the bullpen of the production team, covered his mouth, and secretly cried all night.

Uncle Liu's eyes were red as he spoke.

I asked him why he didn't dare to take leave to see her?

If he went to see her, it would be equivalent to recognizing the landlord's mother-in-law as his biological mother. If he recognized this biological mother, he would become the landlord's son.

……

After the educated youth finished speaking, there was silence.Everyone looked at each other.

Zhou Haiyang pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, a considerable part of the so-called landlords in China belong to the lower class.

In the traditional concept of rural China, everything is for future generations.

Therefore, most people who have some wealth actually live a very difficult life.

They purchased land with the wealth they saved to pass on to future generations.

Especially in mountainous areas with many people and little land, this process is not only full of hardships, but also full of risks.

Any time a family member gets sick or there is a natural disaster, the little wealth they have accumulated over the years may be wiped out and they will be reduced to the bottom of the pile.

Lu Xun’s father was ill and his family fell into ruin..."

Although there was no clear answer to the questions and confusion raised by this educated youth, as well as Zhou Haiyang's words, most people present turned from silence to contemplation...

The original economic and political significance of educated youth going to the mountains and countryside was integrated into a movement because the political significance was overemphasized.

Because it did not grow along its own normal growth trajectory, but was stimulated by an external coercive political force, it lacked the solid social foundation it should have.

As a result, all the people in the country at that time did not have enough spiritual and material preparations for it, and they did not have a clear and deep understanding of the situation that had occurred in this barren land for a period of time.

Not only the majority of people in rural areas do not understand or understand these students from cities.

What many educated young people from the city encounter, hear and see here are also very different from what is advertised in the city.

……

In 1978, the gathering of educated youth at the Yuanping Educated Youth Spot ended with the song "Unforgettable Tonight" by Liu Yan.

难 忘今宵难忘 今宵

Regardless of the ends of the earth and the corners of the sea

Shenzhou Wanli embraces

共 祝愿 祖国 祖国 好

难 忘今宵难忘 今宵

Regardless of the ends of the earth and the corners of the sea

Shenzhou Wanli embraces

共 祝愿 祖国 祖国 好

Wish the motherland well together

Wish the motherland well together

Farewell tonight, farewell tonight

Whether new friends or old friends

Invite me again next spring

The green hills are still there when people are still young and old people are not old yet

Green hills remain before a person grows old

Green hills remain before a person grows old

Wish the motherland well together

Wish the motherland well together

……

"I won't see you off tomorrow morning, I still have some work to hand over.

We'll see you again when we return to Ningcheng. "Liu Yan took the hands of Zhou Haiyang and several Ningcheng educated youths.

Zhou Haiyang said to Pei Xiaohong, Tan Yuanyuan, Yuan Shanshan and Li Xiaoming: "Don't send them off tomorrow. Remember to call me before going to Ningcheng and I will pick you up at the station.

Before school starts, you will have room and board at my house. "

……

Three days before the Spring Festival in 1978, Liu Yan completed all the work handover procedures and handed a "Yongfeng County Rural Economic Work Five-Year Development Plan" to Pei Changyuan.

On the same day, Liu Yan and Fan Lili got on the long-distance bus to Tianyuan Commune.We arrived at Yuanping Village in the afternoon.

Seeing Liu Yan and Fan Lili back, the men, women, and children of the Fan family all beamed with joy.

Especially Fan Yanping and his wife!

You know, the daughter of his old Fan family was the top liberal arts scholar in the province, and she was admitted to Yenching University.My son is not bad either and was admitted to Ningcheng Normal University.

Not counting the son-in-law, there are two college students in the family, which is a very shameful thing.

Seeing her parents' excitement, Fan Lili immediately took out her admission notice and handed it to her father.

Fan Yanping first knocked out the dry tobacco pot in his hand, stuffed the pipe into the pipe and tied it, then clapped his hands, and then carefully took the notice handed over by his daughter.

When he saw the above content and the bright red stamp below, Fan Yanping said excitedly: "Is it really the admission notice from Yenching University?! Girl, you are really trying to impress your father!"

Fan's mother was so excited that she could not speak coherently. She wiped away her tears and said, "Our Fan family also has a college student, and there are two of them. Our ancestors bless us... our ancestors bless us!"

Fan Lili immediately held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, it's a good thing that my third brother and I are admitted to college. Why are you crying?"

"Mom, I'm so happy. In the first few years, when the people in the village heard that we were supporting you in school, they all laughed at us because we had so much money and no place to spend it.

Now let them see that our money was not wasted, let them be envious! "Mother Fan said.

Fan Lili then smiled and said: "Mom is right, let them be envious!"

Fan Lili is grateful from the bottom of her heart for her parents supporting her to go to school.

There are more than thirty girls of her age in the village, but most of them have never read.

Even those who have gone to school will at most stop after finishing elementary school.

Some of them didn't even go to elementary school. They only studied in literacy classes with their parents for a few days and could barely write their own names.

Because most people in the village believe that there is no use for girls studying.

Girls have to get married when they grow up. No matter how many books they read, they will still belong to someone else's family.

When the time comes to find her husband's family, the gift money required may not be enough to spend on studying. It is purely a loss-making transaction.

Therefore, when my parents paid for their education, they were often laughed at.

However, my parents never wavered and supported themselves until they graduated from high school.

If there had been a college entrance examination back then, Fan Lili believed that her parents would have supported her until she graduated from college.

Fan's mother wiped away her tears again and said to Fan Yanping: "My father, don't go there tomorrow. Take the third child and Lili to visit the grave and burn some paper for our ancestors."

Tell them that our Fan family's baby is going to be successful! "

"Hey, I'll go tomorrow morning!"

Then, Fan Yanping said to Fan's mother: "Don't be idle tomorrow. Make preparations with your three wives at home. Tomorrow we come back from the cemetery, and Lao Fan's family will set up a table to celebrate!"

"Row!"

The next day, not only all the direct members of Lao Fan's family were present, but even the three in-laws were invited, and three large banquet tables were set up, which was very lively.

On the third day after returning to Yuanping, Huang Guozhu came to Fan's house with his second son Huang Jinggang and third son Huang Jinmu.

Firstly, I came to thank Liu Yan for making a special trip to the county hospital to visit the old man of the Huang family, regardless of the past grievances.

Secondly, I came to tell Liu Yan the good news that both Huang Jinmu and Fan Jianye were admitted to Ningcheng Normal University.

……

After leaving Yuanping for more than four months, Liu Yan and Fan Lili returned to the small courtyard where they had lived together for more than a year.

Seeing things, the two of them couldn't help but think of the first couple's night spent here, and the days and nights that followed for more than a year...

Unable to bear it, we stayed together for two consecutive nights.

The day after spending New Year's Eve in Yuanping, Liu Yan and Fan Lili returned to the county seat and took the last bus of the day back to Ningcheng.

……

[Author's digression]: "1002889 + Rebirth in 1976 Begins with Educated Youth" is a long serial official novel that is completely different from the promotion of children from poor families...

The author uses different thinking and vision from previous official works, and uses the facts of personal experience to take you from a new perspective to understand and understand the other side of positive energy and the mind of a generation from the 70s to the 21st century. and pattern...

I hope to continue to receive criticism, guidance, encouragement and support in various ways from readers and friends!
