"I went to a meeting in the afternoon. When I passed by the newspaper office, I went in to see Xiaofeng. She briefly told me the situation and told me to find Uncle Cao after get off work and go home early so that we could discuss it together." Sun Weiguo explained for Chef Cao. Got the reason.
"A few years ago, some educated youths went to the mountains and countryside, but it was all voluntary. Is it necessary to implement it uniformly now? They have just graduated from junior high school and cannot continue to go to school?" Jiang Xiuping frowned.
"The high school is about to start enrolling students again. People from the Revolutionary Committee often go to dinner where I live. A few days ago, when they were having dinner and chatting, I listened to what they said. But in the future, there will no longer be an entrance exam for high school admission, but one based on family background.
You are required to be from the fifth red category before you can be recommended for admission. Let me tell you, let’s not worry about this path anymore.” Chef Cao said with some disdain: “Even if you go to school, in today’s schools, teachers are all
If criticism and struggle are decentralized, who can we learn from? What else can we learn?"
"If you really go to the mountains and countryside, where will you go?" Jiang Xiuping asked.
"A few days ago, the central government collected information from our ministry and inquired about the status of wasteland suitable for large-scale reclamation in various provinces and cities in the country. It is probably related to this." Sun Weiguo also carefully investigated: "Northeast China, Inner Mongolia, Haiqing, Yunnan and Guizhou
…They are all very remote places anyway.”
Everyone is worried.
Li Cuifeng said to everyone: "I have thought of a way, do you think it is acceptable? My uncle (the head of Qianjiachuan Village mentioned above, now the captain of the production brigade of Qianjiachuan Village), the president of the commune and several others
Committee members, we have a very good relationship in private. Let's ask Xiaohong and the others to take the initiative to apply for "going to the mountains and countryside." At the same time, let the commune and the brigade come forward to ask for people. In this way, they can go to our village, and my family will take care of them.
, it’s close to our home. We can all feel relieved.” (Girls, the home Li Cuifeng refers to is the Sun family’s current courtyard in Hepingmen, Wuxuan District, 24 kilometers away from Qianjiachuan Village. The original Sun family house
It is in CX District, 20 kilometers away from Qianjiachuan Village.)
"Good idea, I agree."
"I agree too, what do you think?"
"agree!"
…
After Li Cuifeng's proposal was unanimously approved, the relationship network between the Sun and Cao families was fully activated. A month later, before the central government's official document "On the Graduation Distribution of Educated Youth" was issued, Sun Weihong and Cao Yue, the two
An outstanding intellectual youth who voluntarily went to the countryside, did not "wait", "depend" or "want", actively participated in the construction of a revolutionary new countryside, and accepted re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants (comments from a certain leader), and has become a glorious member of the Qian family.
He is a member of the Kawamura Production Team.
The two of them live in Li Cuifeng's room in Li Wen's house, and can sneak back to their home in the city on weekends to take a bath, change clothes, and have their teeth beaten. Their job in the production brigade is to record the use of public farm tools...
By 1973, the social atmosphere gradually improved and became pragmatic. When the educated youth applied for return to the city through various channels, the Sun and Cao families also acted separately. Soon, Sun Weihong was recruited to the Huabeilou Restaurant and worked in the logistics department.
Cashier Cao Yue was recruited by a kindergarten and became a life teacher.
The jobs they were assigned were really relaxing and comfortable. Because their family decided to let them study high school courses on their own after work, the jobs assigned to them were easy and had a lot of free time, so that they could have time and energy to study.
Bruce Lee, who returned to the capital after taking a four-year family leave, went to the city to visit his sister. He said with a playful smile: "How can you two have lower academic qualifications than me, a stinky soldier?"
Bruce Lee, who was slapped away by his sister, is now the squad leader. Eight years of military life have made him no longer an immature high school boy, but already has a hint of a strong man.
Sun Weimin did not come back this year. Due to his outstanding performance in the army, he had already joined the party and was recommended by the army chief to study in the military academy two years ago. In other words, at this time, Sun Weimin was already a college student in the military academy.
Sun Weihong and Cao Yue had very good academic performance before, but unfortunately they were delayed. Now with time and family support, they happily picked up their textbooks and continued their study life.
Opportunity awaits those who are prepared.
The ten-year special period is over.
In 1977, Emperor Taizong issued an order and the college entrance examination was resumed.
Sun Weihong and Cao Yue were overjoyed, and the whole family was also happy for them. Apart from being confused, they only followed the giggling 4-year-old? Original? Sun Dahai.
The essay titled "My Year of Fighting" has been completed, and the college entrance examination in the capital area has come to an end.
Sun Weihong and Cao Yue, who had a solid foundation and were well prepared, felt that after checking their answers, they would do well in the college entrance examination. Sure enough, they quickly received the notice for the physical examination and began to fill in their applications.
Sun Weihong chose to major in accounting at Danfu University. Because she had to go to Shanghai to study, everyone was slightly controversial, but in the end they respected her wishes.
Cao Yue's choice was beyond everyone's expectation (except for Sun Weihong, who had discussed it with them). Cao Yue's first choice was the Animal Science major of the Animal Husbandry Department of Capital Agricultural University. This made everyone very confused. After a fierce dispute,
, everyone's opinions could not be unified, and the final vote was taken. When the parties involved did not vote, the voting result was 3:3. Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Sun Dahai, who did not participate in the vote and was sitting on the side playing with his fingers. Cao Yue was the first to respond.
Sun Dahai said: "Dahai, do you want to be able to eat a lot of meat in the future? If so, just raise your hands and agree."
The drooling Sun Dahai made Cao Yue's choice pass.
In March 1978, not long after Sun Weihong and Cao Yue were sent off to college, Li Cuifeng gave birth to her second child. In the second half of the same year, after she took maternity leave, she received a transfer order to return to the university where she had worked for ten years.
The original unit that ceased publication during the special period was the Huaxia Youth Newspaper, and he served as the deputy editor-in-chief of the culture and sports section.
