Reborn in 1977

Chapter 132: Starting a Home and Career

The brigade headquarters office.

Secretary Yang, Zhang Changjiang, Xiao Lie Wen, and Ye Shubao were all smoking, their eyes fixed on Zhang Wenliang.

After several seconds, Ye Shubao frowned and said, "Little Chen's words make sense."

Zhang Changjiang's eyebrows furrowed into a knot as he exhaled a puff of smoke, "He can speak and write well, repair radios, and now we can add his talent for being a veterinarian. Such talent is rare to find not only in Nanhua Commune, but in the entire Gu Feng County.

If we hadn't been trying to figure out his background, how could he possibly stay in our Lujiawan? He would have been transferred to the commune or even the county long ago. Give him a clerical position first, then recommend him to a two-year vocational school. When he returns, he'll be a cadre. How could we possibly keep someone like that?"

Xiao Lie Wen nodded with a face full of disappointment, "More than that, he's also a martial arts prodigy. He had no foundation at all, but he picked it up as soon as he was taught. If we cultivate him well for a year or two, he could definitely replace San Huzi."

Zhang Wenliang, however, was not worried at all, and chuckled, "That's impossible."

Xiao Lie Wen glared at him, "Why is it impossible? You think he won't surpass you in a year or two?"

Zhang Wenliang said with confidence, "That's not it. It's just that he wouldn't leave his nice office to become a militia company commander like me, who can't stop working all year round, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lie Wen was immediately speechless and couldn't say a word.

Ye Shubao also smiled wryly, "That's right, how many people would give up a good life to come to our production team and suffer? Even the educated youth who came to the countryside will run to the city if they have the chance. The cadre position is right in front of them, so there's no need to think about how to choose."

After saying that, he took a puff of smoke and added, "Unless we can't find any clues about him, he can only stay in Lujiawan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the few of them looked at each other and could see the wry smiles on each other's faces.

Compared to a broadcaster, all of them wanted a veterinarian even more.

Just like the person who sold the horse today, if a qualified veterinarian could cure his horse, he wouldn't have lost thirty or forty yuan. That's just the direct loss. If you count the contribution made after raising the foal, I don’t know how much more there would be.

Without a veterinarian, his today is likely to be the tomorrow of a member of Lujiawan.

And what about scaling that up to the entire production team?

But a good veterinarian isn't that easy to find. Otherwise, in all these years, dozens of cadres have come out of Nanhua Commune, but not even one good veterinarian has emerged.

The best medical skill belongs to Stationmaster Zhou of the Veterinary Station, but he is only at the level of a literacy class. He relies entirely on his old foundation, plus a little bit of knowledge about new drugs learned in the county training class.

And Chen Fan can find a prescription to treat the foal just by flipping through a book. This is the skill of an educated person!

Then is it okay to let other educated people go?

It's possible, but where are the people? Where are the people?

The junior high school students in Nanhua Town are basically children of various units in the town. Those who come from the production team are rare, let alone high school students in the county.

Moreover, Stationmaster Zhou has also looked for junior high school students to enter the veterinary station, but it is said that the current junior high school students do not have as solid a foundation as the primary school students of more than ten years ago. They can't understand many things, so recruiting them is equivalent to recruiting them for nothing.

I didn't feel anything before, but this time, the several giants of Lujiawan, led by Secretary Yang, all saw the "skills" of educated people.

If we can cultivate a high school student in the next few years, even if they can't enter a factory or become a cadre, even if they stay in the production team, they will be the treasure of the production team!

Thinking of this, Zhang Changjiang couldn't help but secretly suspect that he was not paying enough attention to Lujiawan Primary School.

But those are far away. The important thing is, what to do now?

How to make the "only" educated person in Lujiawan willing to be a veterinarian!

At this moment, Secretary Yang, who had been silent, suddenly said, "San Huzi, tell me the whole process just now in detail, don't miss a word, starting from when you met."

Zhang Wenliang looked at him, lowered his head and recalled carefully, thinking and saying, "I went to find him just now, first knocked on the door, and then he said..."

After listening for a short while, Secretary Yang called to stop, staring at him intently, "Wait, say that sentence again."

Zhang Wenliang rolled his eyes slightly, "At most, he's called a 'housing manager'. He's still a hundred thousand miles away from a landlord?"

Secretary Yang hummed twice, looked around, and smiled, "Did you hear anything?"

Ye Shubao frowned, "He wants to be a landlord?"

"Bullshit."

Xiao Lie Wen suddenly laughed, "He's saying he wants to be allocated a plot of land for a house!"

Secretary Yang laughed out loud, "This kid, he's got some tricks up his sleeve."

Then he pointed at Zhang Wenliang, "You continue."

Zhang Wenliang also reacted at this time. After thinking for a while, he skipped the unimportant words and said directly, "He also said that he 'hasn't started a home or a career here, and will probably have to go back'."

Zhang Changjiang clapped his hands and grinned, "That is to say, if he starts a home and a career here, he might not go back."

Ye Shubao was almost choked to death by a puff of smoke, coughing and laughing, "This kid is not very old, how can he have eight hundred tricks up his sleeve?"

Secretary Yang waved his hand and said with a smile, "As long as he doesn't do bad things, the more tricks he has, the better."

Speaking, he pointed at the few of them, then pointed at himself, "Aren't we also scheming against him now? Our tricks are not necessarily less than his."

Zhang Wenliang turned his body to the side and laughed awkwardly twice. You can talk about yourself, don't drag me into this.

After laughing for a while, Ye Shubao said, "Then, if we give him a plot of land for a house, he can stay?"

Secretary Yang waved his hand again, "Not necessarily."

Looking at Ye Shubao's puzzled eyes, Secretary Yang sighed and said, "There are two other situations in which he might leave. The first is what we guessed before, whether he comes from a family of high-ranking cadres. If he does, even if he wants to stay, he won't be able to."

Zhang Changjiang nodded, pursed his lips and said, "The second is if there is something wrong with his background, or if he has committed a crime somewhere, the result will be the same. It's not up to him to choose, and it's not up to the few of us to decide."

After a pause, he laughed and said, "But this possibility is unlikely. After he woke up, Yang Chuanfu called Zhu Gong'an over as soon as possible. Zhu Gong'an is an old hand. He initially determined that he was not a spy. Later, while looking for clues about him, he also notified the regional public security office. They checked all the case files and did not find any suspects with similar situations to him, so this point can basically be ruled out."

Secretary Yang nodded slowly, smoking silently, "But the possibility of the first point cannot be ruled out. What if someone comes to our door tomorrow? What's the point of us sending Little Chen to study veterinary medicine?"

Ye Shubao spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "This won't work, that won't work, what should we do? Should we just give up?"

They were unwilling to give up a potential veterinary seedling who might be the best in the entire Nanhua Commune.

Secretary Yang took two puffs of smoke and suddenly said, "Do you think this plot of land for a house can be given?"

Zhang Changjiang said without hesitation, "If he can really become a veterinarian and stay in Lujiawan, I'll move out of my house for him!"

Xiao Lie Wen also nodded, "I have no objection either."

Ye Shubao raised his hand, "I agree."

Secretary Yang looked at them and said meaningfully, "Behind the educated youth center in Team 6, isn't there still a piece of wasteland?"
