Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Lin Bingde visited the homes of every brigade cadre and went to Lin Zhengjun's home in the evening to tell him that all the brigade cadres agreed and that a meeting would be held the next day to go through the procedure.

"Okay!" Lin Zhengjun nodded.

Lin Bingde saw him writing and drawing on a piece of paper and asked, "What is this?"

"Pig house. Make a simple design so that Wei Shuangxi can do the construction easily later." Lin Zhengjun said.

Lin Bingde laughed and said, "Haha, Zhengjun is indeed a cultured man. Whatever he does, he can always be tainted with a touch of scientific and cultural atmosphere!"

He walked away leisurely.

However, Lin Zhengjun sat at the table until twelve o'clock in the morning and did not go to bed.

Tang Xiaofu, who had already washed up and was sitting on the bed, put down Dream of the Red Chamber, yawned and asked, "You haven't finished it yet? Aren't they just two drawings?"

"It's done, let's do something else." Lin Zhengjun said.

"What are you doing?"

"The educated youth will be back tomorrow, and after the 15th day of the whole month, the children will go back to school."

Lin Zhengjun said: "I want to come up with the test questions today, print them using the elementary school's ink engraving machine tomorrow, and have the test the day after tomorrow!"

Tang Xiaofu said, "Zhengjun, I have always been worried. There are only five or six private teachers in the school, and there is only one job for each person. If you let the educated youth take over, then some of the original members will not be able to become private teachers."

At the end of 1958, it was confirmed that education had to walk on two legs, so a separate title of private teachers was determined, which provided a positioning basis for the birth of private teachers.

Private teachers were seen as the product of the two-pronged approach of recruiting talents locally and running education nationwide, and later became the main force in the nine-year compulsory education and literacy campaign in rural my country.

Under the big collective system, everything from management to treatment for private teachers is basically decided by the brigade.

The remuneration was mainly work points, which were then converted into food and oil. These work points were allocated by the brigade from each production team.

Educating children is easy and does not require exposure to the wind and sun, but the work points earned are more than working in the fields. Therefore, private teachers have become popular in everyone's eyes.

After the land was divided, the work point system was no longer used.

But the treatment of teachers is not bad at all!

Why?

First, the brigade began to receive dividends from food partners. These dividends were used as public accumulation funds and public welfare funds. Private teachers can receive dividends from them. Now the brigade can receive 20,000 yuan in dividends a year, which is much more than before.

Besides, everyone can see that with Lin Zhengjun's example, the Hewan Brigade is paying more and more attention to education, so how could the salary be reduced?

Lin Zhengjun continued writing without looking up and said, "That's right!"

Tang Xiaofu pursed her lips and said, "Aren't you worried that these people will hate you?"

Lin Zhengjun put down the pen in his hand and said sternly, "Do you think no one will hate me if I persuade County Magistrate Bai to promote the distribution of land to households?"

Tang Xiaofu said: "There will definitely be!"

"Yeah, there are a lot of things I do that people hate me for."

Lin Zhengjun said: "In fact, if I sell canned fish and canned yellow peaches locally instead of in the capital, squeezing out the local canning factories, I will also be hated!"

"It's just that I'm not afraid! As long as what I do is in the interests of the majority, I'm willing to do it!"

Tang Xiaofu smiled and exclaimed: "Zhengjun, you are really amazing! I even want to say that you are... great!"

"The truly great one is Mr. Deng."

Lin Zhengjun laughed and said, “Just like when we want to change a brigade or a commune, we will encounter many obstacles and troubles!”

"People like you are beginning to have doubts and even worries!"

"But Mr. Deng wants to change the entire country and society. You can imagine the difficulties and obstacles he encountered, but he won't back down!"

"Yeah, he's amazing!"

Tang Xiaofu suddenly perked up, put on her pants, buttoned up her cotton jacket, and moved the stove closer to the desk. She smiled and said, "Come on, let's work out some questions together!"

……

The next morning, Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu slept until nine o'clock before getting up.

Then I found the principal of the primary school and borrowed an ink printing press to print the test papers.

This type of printing press is also a feature of this era.

First, you have to write on sulfuric acid paper. This process is actually stereotyping, and the purpose is to form the text on the film.

Sulfate paper is usually divided into three layers: film, glue and cotton.

After the text is engraved, the cotton layer will absorb the ink.

The ink is then transferred to the paper through roller pressure, creating the printed text.

Since the pen scratches the film layer, this kind of wax paper is easily damaged. Sometimes, it will print out clumps of black ink, which is not so easy to use.

Although the two of them had their own ink, it took them an hour to print thirty Chinese and math test papers.

Afterwards, Lin Zhengjun sealed the test papers with brown paper bags and glue and placed them in the brigade headquarters.

Then, Lin Zhengjun and Lin Bingde rode their bicycles to the commune to find Xu Zhigong and reported that Lin Zhengjun had rented rotten stone land to build a pig farm.

"Sneak into the village, don't shoot!"

Xu Zhigong smiled and said: "In essence, this matter is that we support the Agricultural University to select and breed good pigs. It is not only in line with the policy, but also beneficial to the country and the people!"

"But after all, it was Lin Zhengjun's personal investment. Now we are concerned about how big the individual private economy can be and how many people it can employ."

"So, just sign the contract and don't make it public yet. Once you have achieved results, haha, you will be the guest of honor of the Ministry of Agriculture!"

After saying this, he smiled slyly.

Lin Zhengjun praised: "Director Xu, you are so wise!"

Xu Zhigong laughed and said, "Just a little clever trick!"

Afterwards, Lin Zhengjun and Lin Bingde bid farewell to Xu Zhigong together and planned to return to the team.

"Damn it! It's such a muddy place!" Lin Zhengjun complained.

At this time, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. The sun was scorching, the temperature was gradually rising, and the snow on the roof melted and flowed down the eaves.

With the addition of water melted from ice and snow on the ground, the ground became even more muddy. The bicycle tires were covered with mud, making it very difficult to move forward.

At this moment, "thump thump thump", a violent engine sound was heard.

Lin Tiedan drove the brigade's tractor over, with Cheng Huiru and several other educated youth sitting in the truck.

"Commander Lin, sir! Why are you here?" Lin Tiedan stopped the car and asked.

"We are here to report to Director Xu. Happy New Year to everyone! I wish you all a happy new year!"

"Director Xiaolin, Happy New Year!"

"Haha, guys! You've all gained weight to varying degrees. Apparently, you've been eating well at home!"

"It's about the same as the Hewan Brigade. The living standards of our brigade may not even be comparable to those in the city!"

Cheng Huiru and several other educated youth greeted Lin Zhengjun one after another, and they actually felt the joy of meeting each other after a long separation.

Lin Zhengjun said admiringly: "Tiedan, you went to pick up the educated youth? You have a smart mind!"

"I don't have the brains to do that. I don't want to think about anything. This was arranged by Wei Shuangxi!"

Lin Tiedan shook his head and said, "He said that the road is difficult to travel on and it would be more convenient to drive a tractor so that the educated youth wouldn't have to suffer!"

"Haha, not bad!" Lin Zhengjun laughed and said, "You get off the car and ride my bike back. I'll drive and talk to them on the way!"

"Okay!" Lin Tiedan said with a smile.
