Reborn in 1977

Chapter 412 The Time is Set

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and a few things happened in these days.

The news that the Lujiawan Library had a complete set of self-study series for mathematics, physics, and chemistry spread like wildfire. In addition to the educated youth from other places in Nanhugong Commune, the educated youth from other communes who were still滞留in Gufeng County came to the door with luggage and dry food, hoping to copy books here.

Not only that, but the principal of Nanhugao High School, which didn't have many students, was also eyeing this set of books. He argued with Secretary Yang for two or three days, and finally reached a cooperation under the witness of Secretary Qian of the commune.

Lujiawan provided the materials, and Nanhugao High School provided the teachers. A Nanhugao College Entrance Examination Review Class was established immediately.

All people need to do is register at Nanhugao High School and pay a material fee of 1 yuan to join this study class.

The 1 yuan is not for nothing. The school mobilized dozens of teachers and students, and used borrowed mathematics, physics, and chemistry series and handwritten copies of educated youth to quickly engrave mimeograph stencils, and then used the school's mimeograph machine to print review materials. The 1 yuan is only enough for the material cost.

In exchange, after the college entrance examination, Nanhugao High School will form a pairing assistance relationship with Lujiawan Village Elementary School to assist Lujiawan Village Elementary School in training teachers and guiding teaching.

Although there are not many teachers in high school, those teachers are basically older teachers, that is to say, they all entered high school and started teaching positions at least ten years ago, so the knowledge base is still quite solid.

Whether it is to tutor students in the review class or to guide the education work of Lujiawan Village Elementary School in the future, it is more than enough.

As a result, almost all educated youth who wanted to participate in the college entrance examination and the current and previous students from other communes and production teams squeezed their heads into the Nanhugao High School review class.

Except for the young people in Lujiawan.

Zhang Cuie, Yang Zhijun, and the others had not attended classes in the review class, but after listening for a day, everyone felt that the teachers here did not teach as well as their own Teacher Chen, and many people asked them for advice, which delayed their own learning, so they did not go there again.

It just freed up space for others.

Another thing is that Chen Fan took Jiang Lili and Huang Ying to the prefectural committee and retrieved the photos taken before.

In the brigade department office, Chen Fan handed the box containing the photos to Zhang Wenliang for him to distribute, but his eyes looked at Secretary Yang, "Uncle Yang, hasn't the registration time been set yet?"

"Soon, soon, it should be in these two days."

Secretary Yang leaned on the back of the chair, wiped his hair, put his hat back on, then picked up his pipe and filled it with tobacco, and sighed, "Everyone is not worry-free. Half of the college entrance examination candidates in Gufeng County are taking classes in the commune high school review class. I want to let the people in our team go there too. First, listen to how the high school teachers teach. They have been engaged in education for decades, and they should have some experience.

Secondly, make friends with other students. They are all students who are going to take the college entrance examination. Maybe some of them will be admitted to good universities. After graduation, they will also be cadres in various units.

As the old saying goes, the relationship between classmates is the strongest. Good classmates can make friends for a lifetime. While everyone is still ordinary people, build relationships so that we can help each other in the future, right?"

He lit the match and took a puff of smoke, and looked at Chen Fan, "I'm not saying that you don't teach as well as the high school teachers. Didn't you also say that there must be a teacher among three people? Anyway, that's what I mean."

Chen Fan chuckled twice, and was about to speak when Xiao Lie pushed the big tea mug onto the table, "I don't agree with your point of view. What is building relationships and helping each other? Oh, you dare to be sure that you won't become cadres protecting each other in the future? The cadres get all the benefits, where can the people find a way to survive?"

"Bah."

Secretary Yang pointed his needle against his wheat, and spat at him, "What kind of person do you think I am? I'm paving the way for the younger generation, but if they dare to do evil, I'll drive his whole family out of Lujiawan without you having to do anything!"

After a pause, he took two breaths before continuing, "I'm using Xiao Chen as a benchmark. Look at our cooked food stores, which one wasn't started by Xiao Chen? What is this? This is relationships!

If you don't have relationships or connections, who will pay attention to you? Use relationships for good, this is called contributing to the collective. Why, do you have to use it to profit yourself?"

Xiao Lie was speechless and smoked his cigarette, ignoring him.

Chen Fan smiled, and then had a chance to speak.

He smiled at Secretary Yang and said, "Uncle Yang, anyway, there are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you what I really think. You're hoping to build relationships with the people in the review class, that's grasping at straws."

Secretary Yang was stunned and stared at him, "What do you mean?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Among those educated youth from other places, how many will come back to report the good news after they are admitted to university? And look at those local current and previous students, how many will come back with gifts."

As soon as these words came out, not only Secretary Yang, but also Captain Zhang, Xiao Lie, Ye Shubao, and Zhang Wenliang looked at Chen Fan with suspicion in their eyes.

Before Chen Fan could speak, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "I always believe that you need to be strong yourself. As long as our batch of students can be admitted to good universities, Uncle Yang, do you believe that even people who don't know us, or even those who rejected Sanhu before, will show goodwill to us.

You just used me as an example, and I can understand what you're thinking, but if you think about it again, if I only knew those three axes, would they still give me so much face?"

Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhang Wenliang shook his head first, "No."

He raised his head, looked at the people who were looking at him, and said seriously, "At that time, my elder brother and I accompanied Xiao Chen to the health department of the prefectural committee. Although their leaders were very polite, I could feel that they still had some arrogance.

It wasn't until my elder brother introduced that Xiao Chen had published articles in 《Jiangnan Literature and Art》 and that his newsletters were often published in Yunhu Daily, and that he was a writer, that they suddenly became very enthusiastic."

Ye Shubao nodded slowly and said thoughtfully, "So, Xiao Chen's relationships outside are earned by his own ability, not by climbing relationships!"

Xiao Lie slapped the table, "That's what I said, you have to be strong yourself. It's better to practice your own skills than to build relationships with anyone!"

Secretary Yang immediately rolled his eyes, "Go away, when did you say that just now? It was obviously Xiao Chen who said it!"

The others immediately held back their laughter, but it was a little difficult.

How thick-skinned was Xiao Lie? How could he be stumped by him? He immediately smoked his cigarette as if nothing had happened and said, "Anyway, I'm saying that your plan won't work."

Secretary Yang saw the strange look in Chen Fan's eyes and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Originally, I wanted to cooperate with Nanhugao High School, in addition to taking advantage of them, I also wanted to use their location to send our students over to meet those people.

In fact, if we didn't have such a big place here, and the village elementary school was too far away from the commune, we wouldn't have given this review class to others, and let the high school take advantage of it for nothing."

After a pause, he chuckled again, "But since you said so, then forget it, just consider it as our contribution to society."

After saying that, he was still a little unwilling, and frowned tightly, and asked, "Those old educated youth, will they really leave without even saying hello?"

Chen Fan shrugged, "There will definitely be people who come back to express their gratitude, but it is absolutely impossible for there to be too many."

In fact, this is also the case. Whether it is a worker in a unit or an educated youth in a team, the first reaction in most people's minds at the moment they receive the admission notice is to go home!

This idea is completely understandable. It has been a year or two since they left home, and more than ten years for the longer ones. How could they not miss home?

It is not easy to get a pass to go home, of course you have to run back as soon as possible.

It's just that in the eyes of those who have helped them, it's a bit ungrateful.

So he never thought about building any relationship with this year's college entrance examination candidates. Anquan is the only exception, because they were already friends before, otherwise he wouldn't have arranged for him to live in his home.

As for others?

Still that sentence, you have to be strong yourself!

He also understood after working in society for several years that what determines his own circle of interpersonal relationships is his own ability, not inviting people to dinner. At most, it's just getting acquainted, but it's actually useless.

Secretary Yang just has little experience, but it doesn't mean he's stupid. Which fool can be the brigade secretary?

Chen Fan's few words pierced the window paper in front of him, so after smacking his lips, he put the idea of ​​wooing future cadres behind him and turned to talk about the autumn harvest.

Under the overall arrangement of Ye Shubao and the leadership of Zhang Wenliang, the autumn harvest work in Lujiawan is about to begin vigorously.

Zhang Wenliang opened his notebook and introduced in a serious manner, "Compared with previous years, this year has both challenges and opportunities. The challenge is that we have fewer laborers. The opening of the Luwan Cooked Food Store, the cooked food workshop…"

Then he was grabbed by Captain Zhang and hit on the head with a ball of paper, "Still challenges and opportunities, what's wrong, do you want to take the college entrance examination? Speak human!"

Zhang Wenliang calmly threw the paper ball that fell on the table into the wicker basket in the corner and said seriously, "In general, it means that although there is insufficient labor this year, because we have harvesters, the autumn harvest will not only not be delayed, but can be completed in advance.

I am confident to lead the whole team to successfully complete the harvesting task, ensure that the grain is returned to the warehouse, and will never abandon grain planting due to the development of sideline businesses, nor will sideline income be delayed due to the autumn harvest!"

Secretary Yang nodded with satisfaction and was about to speak when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

He quickly picked up the phone, "Hello, this is Lujiawan Production Team, where are you from?"

A few seconds later, his eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, okay, no problem, thank you, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, he said directly, "The college entrance examination registration time has been set, starting tomorrow and ending on November 7th, at the commune school district office. The production team does not need to issue a certificate. Candidates can go directly."
