Speaking of old friends in Jingshan County, those who still have contact are Lin Hong and his wife, and Li Jianguo's family.
After Lin Hong graduated from normal school, she was assigned to become a teacher in the best high school in the city.
Living separately from Zhou Zian.
Fortunately, the city and the county are not too far apart, so the whole family can be reunited during the holidays.
In the end, Zhou Zian's hard work and the help of his parents were finally transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the husband and wife were finally reunited.
Life is pretty good now.
Both husband and wife are regular employees, and their benefits are pretty good.
Lin Hong's brother Lin Feng was admitted to a provincial university and studied mechanical manufacturing. After graduation, he returned to the machinery factory and within two years became the director of the design department of the machinery factory.
The machinery factory is still booming, especially in the past two years, and has begun to manufacture the combine harvester that Jiang Zhiyuan designed back then.
There was a steady stream of orders, and we couldn't finish them all.
The factory is booming, and although everyone's wages are still fixed, there are plenty of overtime subsidies, so the employees are happy no matter how hard they work.
Most people still remember that this was Jiang Zhiyuan's design, although they don't know Jiang Zhiyuan's status in ancient and modern times.
But he also vaguely knew that Jiang Zhiyuan was a high official in the capital.
If you brag to the workers or apprentices who entered the factory later, they have also worked with high-ranking officials in the capital!
A few more gossips from those years attracted the new apprentices to exclaim and regret that they had not been born a few years earlier and had not entered the factory earlier.
Such childish remarks naturally made the old employees laugh.
A few years ago, the machinery factory would not have hired so many people.
Father Lin has retired at home, but because he can't sit still, he occasionally goes to the workshop and design department.
Occasionally, if Lin Feng and the others were unsure, they would have to ask Father Lin for advice.
So I don’t feel too much disappointed. Apart from being more leisurely, my life after retirement is not much different from before.
As for Li Jianguo, he has become the director of the Jingshan County Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
The entire county supply and marketing system is within his jurisdiction.
Li Jianguo is now considered a well-known figure in Jingshan County. After his eldest son graduated from college, Li Jianguo used his connections to find a job in the city.
He can be considered a city dweller.
Li Jianguo and Lin Hong now only keep in touch with Xu Ningyan through a few letters a year, and they also send some specialties from their hometown every New Year and holiday.
It hasn't stopped for so many years.
Xu Ningyan once invited them to come to the capital to have some fun.
It's a pity that there are always things that can't be done.
Li Jianguo joked that he would have to wait until he retired before he would have time to go to the capital. He only hoped that he would still be able to walk by then.
The biggest change in the unity brigade is that the farmland is distributed to each household. It is no longer the collective cooperation model of the commune brigade.
Everyone has their own fields, and they are more attentive. After all, the land will not fool people. How do you treat it, it will treat you the same way!
Those who work hard on the fields will have a good harvest in autumn. After paying the public grain surcharge, the remaining grain will be left aside from the rations, and they will have to sell the unified purchase grain and negotiated grain.
The price of unified grain purchase is low, but these must be sold.
However, the price of negotiated grain is higher, and the whole family relies on the money from selling the negotiated grain throughout the year.
If you work hard and take care of the fields, you will usually be rewarded.
At least it's much better than before when the team worked together and got centimeters.
However, those families who liked to be lazy in the past, or who did not have enough labor at home, had a harder time.
After all, even if there were not enough centimeters at home in the past, with the brigade here, they couldn't watch you starve to death. It would more or less lead to famine.
But that's not possible now. If you can work hard and work hard, you can still get by in the countryside.
Those educated youths back then returned to the city one after another.
Some returned to the city after taking college entrance exams. Later, when the policy of returning to the city came out, the educated youth who performed well would be allowed to return to the city first.
Later, any educated youth who had not married a local could return to the city.
Only those educated youths who married locals and gave birth to children, some chose to abandon their wives (husbands) and children, and left heartlessly.
Some choose to stay in the countryside either because they are reluctant or for other reasons.
Among the local women left behind by the educated youth, life will be more difficult for women, especially those with children. It is difficult to live in the countryside with children.
There were quite a few people who couldn't think about it and died by diving or hanging themselves.
When the adults leave and leave the ignorant child behind, even if someone from the mother's family helps to adopt it, the life of the mother's family will not be easy. If they add a few more mouths, life will naturally be difficult.
Although men will be laughed at, most of them will marry a new wife soon and their lives will go on.
The captain also mentioned this matter in his letter to Xu Ningyan.
He had nothing to say to those educated youth who abandoned their wives or husbands. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and if it rains, there is nothing a mother can do if she wants to get married.
But how can those educated youths with children be so ruthless?
I feel that they are really inhumane. They could no longer survive in the countryside, or they wanted to live a lighter and easier life, so they found or married locals, and then with the help of marriage, they became half locals and could live a better life. .
When I heard that I could return to the city, I immediately gave up my wife (man), my children, my face, and my conscience. I patted my butt and ran away.
Those who are somewhat conscientious will also say a few nice words, saying that they will send money back when they return to the city.
If you are heartless, just run away. Before running away, you will take all the money in the family, completely disregarding the life and death of the whole family.
When Xu Ningyan saw the captain's letter, he remembered an old TV show he had watched in his previous life, called Nii Debt. It told the story of a child who was an educated youth who went to the countryside and was abandoned by his parents. After many years, he went to the metropolis to find his biological parents.
The lyrics in it are still fresh in Xu Ningyan's memory: Dad has a family, Mom has a family, and I myself seem to be superfluous...
When I heard this song back then, I felt sad because it expressed the pain of so many children who were abandoned by their parents as educated youth.
Now that I have experienced this era and participated in it, I understand that those educated youths also have a lot of helplessness and pain, but for them, their desire to return to the city far exceeds their feelings for their children and their significant other.
It can be said to be the tragedy of the times. Everyone is swept away by the torrent of time. What is more, it is probably the selfishness of human nature.
It's just this kind of thing, like people drinking water and knowing whether it's hot or cold, no one can make decisions for them.
At the end of the letter, the captain asked Xu Ningyan whether it was true that these educated youths who returned to the city could not take their wives and children back from the countryside? Is it really impossible to make a living?
Xu Ningyan looked at the captain's anger, pain and confusion in these questions, and could only sigh.
Maybe the captain actually knows it in his heart, but he just can't understand it!
There was only one such letter, and when the captain wrote later, he never mentioned it again.
On the contrary, he talked about a few new things, including that the combine harvester from the machinery factory was very famous in their town, now called Hongqi Town.
I heard that harvesting crops is very convenient. I drive down to the fields and harvest a few acres of land with a click. Not only that, the rice is also directly planted and dragged directly to the dojo to dry.
