Chapter 7

"You said a little too much just now."

Taking Zheng Jianguo out of the medical team, Du Xiaomei gulped down her saliva and turned to Zheng Donghua: "you are not allowed to run around and go home directly. Donghua remembers?"

"Remember, mother."

Zheng Donghua is two and a half years older than Zheng Jianguo. Her tall nose and dark eyes are the most outstanding among the four sisters. One of the five golden flowers in Kansai commune is also the one most closely watched by Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei. She usually takes it with her when she goes to work and goes to the ground. At this time, she looks at Zheng Jianguo with an implicit warning: "you have to be obedient."

"Well --"

Zheng Jianguo was embarrassed by the fourth sister. He used to rely on his youngest and the only boy in his family. He often planted and framed Zheng Donghua from childhood to childhood. Of course, every time Zheng Donghua was beaten by my mother, he would find a chance to beat him back. He was the worst of the four sisters. Now I see that my mother sent this sister to take him back, Afraid to know that the other three sisters couldn't control him, he then said, "I'll listen to you."

"Huh? Good! "

Zheng Donghua's dark eyes flashed a suspicious color, and then his melon seed face showed vigilance. He looked at Du Xiaomei and nodded: "Mom, let's go back first and pay attention to rest."

"OK, you go quickly. It's getting late. I think there seems to be snow again."

When Du Xiaomei spoke, the sky began to sprinkle white spots in succession. At this moment, the speaker ZLA sounded a voice: "dear comrades in arms -"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Du Xiaomei waved her hand, Zheng Jianguo nodded and followed Zheng Donghua to the coming road. The road when she came here has now been trampled into mud. Looking at the mud spots on the big cotton padded shoes, Zheng Jianguo can only pick up the courage to drip the mud and keep up. Unexpectedly, a voice came from the front: "Ho Ho, my mother said you don't want to go to school after graduation, Want to come back and be a member? "

"My mother told you?"

Zheng Jianguo eyebrows a pick, Du Xiaomei should not give a few sisters said his idea is right, but the idea just got up, listen to Zheng Donghua said: "why don't you think my mother will let me send you back?"

"Are you going to beat me?"

Zheng Jianguo stopped, looked at the distance between himself and Zheng Donghua, and then realized that it was impossible to be beaten. His relationship with his father Zheng Fugui was so good, but it was all because Du Xiaomei beat him since childhood. On the contrary, his father didn't beat him several times. He didn't wait for her to speak and said to himself: "my mother asked you to do ideological work for me?"

"My mother said you're going to be sixteen. You're a man. It's inconvenient for her to beat you again."

Zheng Donghua said, looking back at Zheng Jianguo, and an inexplicable color flashed in her dark eyes: "but you are my brother, or the only brother. When my sister comes to someone else's house, if she is wronged, she has to rely on you. My mother said that you are old, can I beat you like before? At that time, you were not sensible, and I was not sensible -- "

"Oh?"

Zheng Jianguo was stunned. In his memory, he didn't hear the fourth sister say this, so it's likely that he didn't join the fun and ran to participate in the General Assembly war at that time, so he didn't have the memory of this scene now. Many thoughts changed in his mind. He soon remembered that his sister was going to be 19 this year and was also a big girl: "are you going to convince me?"

"Why don't you want to go on to school? I'm thinking about it now. Do you know how much we want to go to school? "

Zheng Donghua's voice didn't have any emotions, but it was because there were no many emotions that Zheng Jianguo began to face up to this problem. He pointed to the road ahead and said, "it's getting late. Let's walk and say."

"Good!"

Zheng Donghua was stunned. Suddenly, she felt that the younger brother in front of her was a little strange. She just thought that Zheng Jianguo couldn't come back to be a member because she was in the midst of happiness: "I think how can you convince me!"

"Well, fourth sister, do you know that high school graduation is not assigned now? Including the health school my father plans to send me to. "

Zheng Jianguo said when he found his feet under the snow on the ground. When he saw Zheng Donghua, he looked at him in surprise and continued to say: "at present, only a few people will be assigned to various posts, such as health schools and universities, and most departments and enterprises directly recruit educated youth.

This is because the "six articles of the state" four years ago explicitly required that in the future, a large number of urban educated young people will go to the countryside every year, and the relevant departments, provinces, cities and autonomous regions should make long-term and comprehensive plans to link up with the overall plans for economic construction, border development, culture, education, science and research.

This is the first time that the state has clearly stipulated that every year since then, students who graduate from urban middle schools, except those who meet the conditions to stay in the city, must go to the mountains and the countryside. Therefore, from then on, if departments and enterprises need people, especially if there are a large number of people, they need to recruit from these educated young people who go to the countryside for re education. "

Zheng Donghua, who was pricking her ears, was a little distracted. She didn't expect to hear such a well-organized and logical speech, especially when the person who said these words was his younger brother who was not over 16 years old: "but you also said that the health school - should be assigned?"

"Fourth sister, you also said that you should be assigned."

Zheng Jianguo was relieved when he found that his sister listened. He was afraid that his sister would not understand and tangled with him: "instead of risking to come back as a member after four years of study, it's better to come back now and study while working and wait for the reality of the exam. That's my idea."

"But those educated youth in our village - your study can compare with them?"

Due to the good industrial foundation of Qi province where Yuquan area is located, a large number of workers are recruited to fill their posts in all walks of life every year. At this time, Zheng Donghua has been convinced by Zheng Jianguo that her family knows her own affairs. At her age, she has been divorced from the stage of fantasy and knows the reborn good thing of assigning jobs from school, It is impossible to fall on the members who have no foundation. If you really want to come back as a member in four years, you might as well come back now: "I remember your study, can it only be regarded as ordinary?"

"That was before -"

The idea flashed through Zheng Jianguo's mind. His learning from small to large was really average. He didn't rise to the top and didn't fall behind. There were insignificant parts in primary school, junior high school and senior high school. One bottle was dissatisfied with half a bottle, and this was also the reason why Zheng Fugui asked him to go to school. Otherwise, if he really was like a small big Gazi, he wouldn't listen to his countdown, I'm afraid I came back long ago to earn work points: "fourth sister, how many educated youth in our village do you think study is average?"

"Uh --"

Zheng Donghua was asked. In her eyes, educated youths are highly educated and belong to the level of big intellectuals. However, the educated youths in sanlibao brigade did not recruit back, did not take the exam back, had no class to pick up at home, could not do it when they were ill in the city, and did not choose in the commune.

Now it seems that the remaining educated youth can't be classified into the general. If the educated youth in the next brigade doesn't belong to the typical, there will be no one at all. However, this can only be said by the sisters and brothers in private. Zheng Donghua looked around and around and found that there was no one else. When he looked back, he was careful: "don't tell anyone else, The score scorers and tractor drivers in the team also help the brigade cadres take care of our rations - don't offend them. "

"OK, fourth sister."

Zheng Jianguo answered quickly. The old Party branch secretary was a very resourceful person. It turned out that the troublemakers in the brigade didn't work hard during their working hours, and the cadres of the team all looked up in the same village and didn't want to tear their faces and cause unnecessary trouble. So when the educated youth came, the old Party branch secretary asked them to help record their work points, It is called to let educated youth give full play to their strengths.

Later, the negative resistance of the punk rascals brought the tractor drivers down. I didn't want some of the educated youths who could drive a tractor. The crooked ones let the educated youths open. At the end of the year, they held a criticism meeting against several rising leaders on the grounds of insufficient work. Seeing that the means of the old party secretary were getting more and more powerful, the punk and rascals were honest.

After all, the lack of work points is generally said to undermine the national economic construction. The former is dispensable laziness. The latter is either a reeducation through labor or a crime of eating eight big liang. After wearing this hat, you have to peel off your skin if you don't die, and the gain is not worth the loss if you steal eight big liang. These people are just lazy, not stupid.

The road home was muddy. The snow that had fallen all day yesterday had been trampled into mud. At present, the road construction was just a simple loess bedding. Due to the rising temperature, the snow was trampled and could not reach the foot surface. The sister and brother walked with deep feet and shallow feet on the road. When they returned to sanlibao brigade, the sun had disappeared, It took more than half an hour to go and more than an hour to walk back.

In the era of lack of oil and electricity, the sanlibao brigade in the night is like a beast hidden in the dark. The only place that emits light is the warehouse where the brigade headquarters and educated youth live. When the sister and brother pass by, they can still hear the voices of educated youth in the warehouse: "this year has passed again, our educated youth house has not been built, not to mention a two-story building like the commune, Even build us a prefabricated house with doors and windows? We have also found the steel bars and cement. The old party secretary doesn't know when he can come back -- "

"The barefoot doctor is talking about their house again."

Zheng Donghua took back her eyes from a distance, turned her head and looked at Zheng Jianguo. After that, Zheng Jianguo continued: "I think it's good for you to come back to pick up our father's class. When it's time to save, you'll go to school. People crowded our father's position --"
