Bringing space back to the 1970s to develop rural areas

The captain can be said to be in high spirits these days.

His face, which used to be as black as the ash at the bottom of a pot, is now rosy and he greets the educated youths happily when he sees them.

The educated youth want to go back early?

No problem. We will stamp your letter of introduction and information.

If you want to transfer the food rations you were allocated, no problem. Come on, the village committee has some and we’ll advance the money to you.

Yang Qingdai and others were stunned by such a convenient door.

Shen Xuan pulled her aside and whispered to her, "The team leader was scared by those educated youth who made trouble a few years ago. When he knew we were leaving, he must have wanted to send us to the car and leave right away."

The Youth League Institute and others were grateful to Yang Qingdai.

If they had not selflessly contributed textbooks for them to study together and helped them to fill in the gaps, more than ten people from the Youth League College would not have been able to pass the entrance exam successfully.

After making sure that no one was around, Shen Xuan secretly stuffed a package into the bag and said, "This is for you. Open it after you get back."

After that, she hurried away with the documents stamped by the team leader. She had to go back to pack her things. When her family learned that she had been admitted to the Normal University, not only was her tuition waived but she also received subsidies, they were so happy that they asked her eldest brother to go out to pick her up overnight.

Her younger brothers and sisters also took the college entrance examination, but unfortunately they all failed. Her mother hoped that she could go back early to give them some guidance so that they could pass the exam next year.

So, without saying a word, Yang Qingdai packed up their textbooks and notes before the exam and gave them to Shen Xuan.

As a token of her special care over the past two years, the thing just now was Shen Xuan’s return gift.

The usually bustling Youth League Home was now home to only three people: Yang Qingshan, Zhang Daqiang and Qu Dongdong.

These three usually stay at Yang Qingdai's house.

Yang Qingshan refused to leave, and Yang Qingdai could understand that, after all, he was homeless.

What’s going on between Zhang Daqiang and Qu Dongdong? Why aren’t they going back?

Qu Dongdong collapsed comfortably on the thickly cushioned armchair. "My mother said that Shanghai has been experiencing heavy rains and biting cold winds recently, so she told me to stay safe in the Qingshan Brigade where there is a warm heating system. I should report to school directly after the beginning of the year. She will come to see me when she is free."

He kept stuffing the snacks in his hand into his mouth, "Ah, I'm finally free. Next year I don't have to go to the fields anymore, I don't have to be taught a lesson by Liu Anbang, and I don't have to be scared by the team leader's dark face and dare not move."

Zhang Daqiang was straightforward, "Like Comrade Yang Qingshan, I am homeless. I can only go to school after school starts to find a place to live."

Well, it’s not easy for them to ask about the sad family stories.

Then let's all get together and prepare for the start of school after the New Year.

Yang Qingdai had different ideas.

I want to take Yang Ziling to Beijing to see those two houses.

On this day, snowflakes were falling outside. She was wearing a thick military coat and lying on a rocking chair under the eaves, looking at the plum tree that was budding and ready to bloom on time.

There was a small clay stove on the small coffee table next to it, and a small iron kettle was emitting white smoke.

In fact, I really don’t want to leave this place.

I met my uncle and my mother, and two twin cousins ​​who I have not met yet but send gifts to each other every year. This time, I learned that both of them were admitted to their favorite universities, so I simply gave each of them a remittance slip of 300 yuan.

As for their master and mistress, Yang Qingdai dreamed of bringing the two of them to live in the capital city permanently, but unfortunately they both refused.

They said they were born in Qingshan Brigade and would die in Qingshan Brigade. They also had to look after the huge Qingshan Mountain, so they had no intention of traveling far.

"Sister, why don't you go back to the house? It's snowing outside and it's so cold." Yang Ziling saw his sister staring blankly under the eaves when he came back from Uncle Ma's house.

Yang Ziling squatted in front of her, grabbed her hands, blew a breath of hot air, and placed them in his palms to warm her hands.

She looked at her little paw wrapped in his big palm, raised her head, and her eyes fell into his slightly reproachful and nervous eyes. Yang Qingdai's heart trembled again.

The dirty and wounded child back then has grown up.

Not only was he taller than her, his hands were also larger than hers, and his calloused hands silently told of the hardships he had endured in the past that he had never told her about.

The facial features gradually grew, and the previously delicate little face now became more three-dimensional and a little sharp when you look closely.

Yang Qingdai pulled back one hand and stroked his face. Her cool fingertips traced his eyebrows and landed on the tip of his nose, gently pinching it. "My Ziling has really grown up."

Yang Ziling smiled and rubbed her palm with her face, "When you grow up, you will be able to protect your sister."

This is his unshakable belief.

"Okay." Yang Qingdai pinched his cheek, "Come and protect me when you come of age."

"Adult?" Yang Ziling wrinkled his nose, "That's still three years later."

I can't bear to see him squatting on the ground for too long. "Get up. The ground is very cold. Don't squat for too long or you'll catch a cold."

"Then sister, hurry inside. Sister Danny also said that in this kind of weather, you will easily catch a cold if you stay outside for too long."

He stood up straight and pulled Yang Qingdai up.

The two stood face to face, and to others looking from behind, it looked like Yang Ziling was hugging Yang Qingdai.

"Hey, what are you two doing?"

The rare warm and affectionate atmosphere was destroyed by Chen Yu's shout when he came in.

Yang Ziling turned around and glanced at Chen Yu with a pair of dark eyes from where Yang Qingdai couldn't see him. He bent down to put out the charcoal fire in the small clay stove and went into the house carrying a small iron kettle.

Chen Yu scratched the back of his head. Was he threatened by Yang Ziling's eyes just now?

Yang Qingdai was annoyed, "What can I do? Ziling pulled me into the house to avoid catching a cold, what else can I do? No, I was wondering why your tone was so wrong just now?

What dirty thoughts are in that useless head of yours?"

Chen Yu: "...How can I have it?"

Just like what I saw when I walked in the door, any normal person would think about it, right?

Yang Qingdai glanced at him coldly, and Chen Yu felt a little uneasy.

"What are you doing here with us?" It was neither the middle of the day nor the afternoon, and it didn't look like someone was here to get a free meal.

Chen Yu then got down to business.

"Isn't it New Year's Day coming soon? I'm going to go to town with you to buy New Year's goods. By the way, let's see if there are any things we need for school, so we can buy them together."

Su Mo and Qian Lao are not here this year, and with the addition of Zhang Daqiang and Qu Dongdong, as well as Tang Danbai and his comrades, there are still a lot of things to prepare.

Especially after they received the admission letters, Tang Danni and Zhang Guochang told him that when they were dating, they directly started the stalking mode.

Regardless of the fact that his wounds had not healed yet, he grabbed Zhang Guochang and went out to beat him up.

The result is predictable. Zhang Guochang dared not fight with his brother-in-law and could only stand there and take the beating. From that time on, his future brother-in-law disliked everything about his future brother-in-law.

He didn't dare to call Tang Danni directly, because Zhang Guochang worked in the town.

If Tang Danbai finds out, he will be beaten in the head.
