Chapter Twenty-Six: Improvisation

Zheng Jianguo's writing of poems set off waves in the fifth class of the second year of high school, and the students were surprised that this unattractive classmate still had such a ability, but they did not have much time to compare the memory of Zheng Baobao with the poet Zheng Jianguo at this time, and the students and teachers talked more about the mobilization meeting of Shanxian High School, and soon the news came that the morning self-study class was not over:" Participating in the mobilization were not only the director of the county revolutionary committee, but also the director of the revolutionary committee of the prefectural committee, and also said that all the sophomore students in the area had graduated early, and Zhao Nan became famous——"

Zhao Nan became famous, as the most influential student since the establishment of Chengguan Senior High School, Zheng Jianguo did not see her again until he left school with his graduation certificate, and when he heard this name again, he still heard it from Kou Yang, a new educated youth from the Sanlipu Brigade Educated Youth Point a week later: "She went to southern Xinjiang, and those advocates have gone, are you looking for her?"

"No, I'm just asking-"

Zheng Jianguo shook his head quickly, his eyes swept over the beads of sweat on her forehead, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Do you know where Hao Yun went?"

"I don't know about this, he should write to you, right?"

Holding a shovel that was about as tall as a person and panting, Kou Yang's eyes swept over the girl with a look on her face in the distance, Zheng Jianguo followed her gaze, and said, "This is my fourth sister Zheng Donghua, I didn't expect you to go to the countryside with you." ”

"That's my cousin, Roland. ”

Wiping the sweat from his head, Kou Yang turned around as he said and looked at the girl who was looking at Zheng Jianguo not far behind him, and he understood what this old classmate was saying: "She is-"

"Yes, that's what you guessed. ”

Kou Yang interrupted Zheng Jianguo without waiting for him to finish, and then found that Zhang Guohuai, the captain of the educated youth, was walking with a towel to wipe his sweat, and said in a low voice: "Don't tell others." ”

"Well, if you don't have a good appetite, you have to eat more, you are only now in contact with physical work, and it is normal to eat without appetite, but people are iron and steel, and they are not hungry for a meal. ”

As Wang Guohuai approached, Zheng Jianguo raised his voice and told him, Kou Yang didn't want to point out Roland's identity, it was likely that he didn't even know the acting branch secretary Guo Binghe, according to his perception of the leaders at this time, it was the mainstream who could go through the back door for his children to this extent, and it was their bottom line that their children did not stay in the city after graduation, and the love of licking calves could not let them send their children to the frontier wilderness to suffer, so it was understandable to compromise to this extent, as for Zhao Nan, he was benevolent:" I thought you would get involved with Zhao Nan and the others—"

Kou Yang frowned slightly: "She called me, I didn't go." ”

"Oh, Kou and the Gnats know each other?"

Wang Guohuai put the towel around his neck, looked at the rising Chaoyang with a frowning face and asked, Zheng Jianguo smiled and continued: "We are classmates, don't you say a few more words, okay, don't disturb your work, let's talk." ”

"Oh, this kid—"

Zheng Jianguo's previous words were said to Wang Guohuai, but when he was facing goodbye, he had already looked at Kou Yang, waved his hand and turned around and walked towards Zheng Donghua in the distance, Wang Guohuai looked at the two sisters and brothers leaving one after another, and snorted with contempt on his face: "Such a big person, let my sister follow me wherever I go——"

Kou Yang withdrew his gaze from Zheng Jianguo's emaciated back, looked at Wang Guohuai and said, "Captain Wang, you still call me by my name, after all, there is a difference between men and women." ”

The thick black eyebrows trembled, Wang Guohuai turned half behind him and nodded: "This is the educated youth point, we are all comrades here, but I accept your request, Kou Yang Luolan, the two of you are too shallow in this place, and the spring ploughing is an inch deep, and you can top the dung once." Spring ploughing is unwilling to be busy, and the face is hungry and yellow after autumn. ”

Wang Guohuai's voice was a little loud, and at this time, along the direction of the wind, Zheng Donghua, who had already walked away, stopped when he heard it, and Zheng Jianguo had already turned around at this time: "Fourth sister, how is the book I asked you to read?"

"Oh, something I don't understand—"

was pulled back to his senses by Zheng Jianguo's words, Zheng Donghua's face flashed with apprehension, and a pair of eyes looked at him a little inexplicably: "You let me see this-do you want me to take the exam for those jobs that the educated youth can't pass the exam?"

"It depends on what kind of educated youth, and the rest of these educated youths naturally can't pass the exam. ”

Zheng Jianguo said and turned his head, glancing at Wang Guohuai, who was standing in front of Kou Yang and Luo Lan, who was standing in front of Kou Yang and Luo Lan, the captain of the educated youth has been here for seven years, and he will participate in almost every recruitment exam, but every year he is named Sun San, and after looking back, he said to himself: " The big waves of gold and sand are even more sandy, excluding those educated youths who went to the frontier wilderness and could not participate in the recruitment examination, not to mention those poor mountains and remote areas with a weak industrial base and insufficient recruitment plans.

Zheng Jianguo didn't say this once or twice, the eldest of the four sisters is out of the category of illiteracy, the second sister, the third sister and the fourth sister are more and more literate, and when Zheng Donghua arrived, she also got a high school graduation certificate, which happened to be the target group for this series of books, so since he bought six self-study books from Kou Yang one after another, especially after the complete four books of chemistry arrived, he pulled Zheng Donghua to read it together, but at this moment she was a little confused: "Let people know——"

"What's the matter?"

Zheng Jianguo quickly opened his mouth to interrupt her words, in his memory, this sister is the most sensitive in his heart, so he cares most about the eyes of others, and he seems to be living for the eyes of others all his life, and he is tired and tired: "Don't look at them who have studied four years more than you, but I can assure you that the four years they have learned more than you are useless, aside from their ability to talk, the real knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry is not as good as you and me."

At least we have been following my dad for so long, and some basic knowledge is not lacking, but they are different, the industry-based agricultural foundation learned in school is purely a passing scene, and the real focus is still on those theories, but no one says it now. ”

Blinking, Zheng Donghua knew that this younger brother would not lie to her, and in the less than two years of high school, she herself also paid attention to his learning progress from time to time, plus the chemistry self-study series she read these days, she also knew that these were not what high school students could learn now, otherwise Zheng Jianguo would not have to spend nearly three yuan to buy it, and the school should send it.

Just went to take the work test, which was still beyond Zheng Donghua's imagination: "Could it be that when you take the work test, you don't test these theories?"

"These theories can be memorized. ”

Hearing that Zheng Donghua had signs of excitement, Zheng Jianguo smiled: "I heard that the educated youth who participated in the recruitment examination said that in addition to professional knowledge, that is, mathematics, physics and chemistry, they will also test some textual content, some are to write a quotation and their own feelings after reading, and some are to write an autobiography, which is to let you introduce your own situation."

These two tests are used to see your level of theoretical study or document learning, and a young man who took the exam said that when he wrote his autobiography, he focused on using the content of quotations to spur himself when he was busy with farming, and described it in combination with reality, Fourth Sister, you are okay with the study of quotations and documents, right?"

"Well, make do. ”

Zheng Donghua showed a faint smile on her face, the members of the club at this time also have to learn, especially in the gap between farming, now after Zheng Jianguo's words, although the doubts in her heart have not disappeared, they have been reduced by half compared to before, but she remembered that she needed to earn work during the day, so she opened her mouth hesitantly: "Then you have to talk to our father about lighting the oil lamp at night——"

"Good~"

Thinking of his father's face these days, Zheng Jianguo pursed his lips and felt a little troublesome, although Zheng Fugui agreed with his plan not to go through the back door to the guard school to observe, but even if the capital invested before was wasted, Du Xiaomei, who learned about this, did not give the two of them a good face, and they had to light the lamp and boil oil when they studied at night.

There are electric lights, and there are them in the warehouse of the brigade headquarters and educated youth, as well as the farms over there, but because of this, Zheng Jianguo has no way to pull one over, first, the money is not available, and second, there is no electricity meter at this time.

The electricity bill of a large meter is divided according to the number of lights, not to mention the length of time that everyone uses, he can't always go to those two places to count how many lights people have, and then count the loss is not something that his small household can afford, which also blocks the idea of using electric lights.

The oil lamp is not good for the eyes, this is a situation that everyone knows, Zheng Jianguo has no way to make changes, so he can only adapt to the crowd, and when he went to the clinic of the brigade headquarters, he looked at it and found that Gu Li was not inside, but Zheng Fugui was sitting at the table and was treating people, and he looked at him and took medicine for people and said: "Dad, why are you sitting here?"
