Because his sister left him for dinner, Gu Biao was also idle, so he helped pick tea leaves together and chatted about the recent situation at home.

Gu Min was a little unfamiliar with his brother's diligence, so he asked casually: "Brother, I always feel that you are different." You used to look down on farming, why are you suddenly working so hard today? ”

"It's not hard work, it's not still slower than you. Gu Biao wiped his sweat and told the truth.

Gu Min smiled: "Slow is what it should be, I've been picking it for more than a year, and you've just started it." ”

"Actually, I also want to exercise myself, and I will go back to the city after graduating in two months. Gu Biao told the truth step by step.

However, my sister did not appreciate it.

"What?" Gu Min thought he had misheard, and his voice suddenly raised an octave.

In just a second or two, she made up a lot of possibilities in her mind, and speculated: "Say! Is it because you don't study well in school and don't want to study? See if I don't beat you! Is it easy for Dad to let me provide you with your studies?"

Gu Biao sighed, knowing that it was this reaction.

He could only explain slowly: "Sister, you underestimate me too much." In fact, Dad agreed to this, I just came to inform you - when you found Dad as Director Qin, who helped him come up with the technical problem?

You can't understand these words, just talk about mathematics, physics and chemistry, you went to high school for a year, you can test me casually, and if you can take the test, I will lose.

I think the movement is coming to an end, and the country will definitely resume the college entrance examination. If you have been an educated youth, you may be able to compensate more in terms of qualifications, but isn't that equivalent to skipping a grade? ”

Gu Min's excitement eased slightly, but he still didn't believe it: "How dangerous are national events, you dare to predict indiscriminately as a junior high school student?"

Gu Biao knew that his credibility was too poor, so he could only find other excuses: "Hey, there are actually a lot of inside stories here, you must not tell anyone - anyway, some of them are the rumors of Director Qin, and some of them are known from the commissioner." Don't ask, if you don't believe me, just test my level first. ”

Hearing that it was the news from the central commissioner from the capital, my sister immediately believed it a little more.

Gu Biao saw it in his eyes, but he was very unwilling in his heart.

He somewhat understands why when Ma Feng tried to fool the team into engaging in the "Huaxia Yellow Pages" in 95, he obviously thought that "the Internet will change all aspects of human life", but he wanted to pretend that "this sentence was said by Bill Gates".

After all, in 95, the ghost knew who Ma Feng was, and the Chinese only knew that Bill Gates was awesome.

In the same way, 20 years later, the inferior chicken soup on the market began to desperately fake Ma Feng's quotations to cheat sales. Middle school students write essays, and they also desperately make up Lu Xun's quotations to cheat high scores.

Whether a sentence is right or not, whether the credibility is great or not, the reason and the content of the deduction itself do not matter.

What matters is from whose mouth it comes from.

The future form of "pretending to be a value trade" on "Boom Mode Battle Royale", if it was predicted by Kevin Kelly, then someone believes it. It was predicted by the eastern part of Zhejiang, and no one believed it.

Since the judgment of "the college entrance examination is about to be resumed", since it was said by an authoritative source, Gu Min believed it.

She thought to himself: Instead of guessing, it is better to test her younger brother first.

Suffering from the lack of books at hand and the failure to take the math test, she casually took some high school physics and chemistry knowledge.

After all, math problems have to be calculated, and physical chemistry has at least a lot of concept problems that can be dictated and answered.

The results of the oral exam, of course, are as unsuspenseful as taking the walnut Kanokia.

Gu Min was defeated.

"Are you okay, have you studied so hard in the past two years, or has the quality of school education improved so much after smashing ***?" Gu Min was surprised, but he was still very happy in his heart, and he completely believed Gu Biao's statement.

As for the fact that "the level of a certain class of students is suddenly much better than the previous one", it is very common during the indescribable period of ten years.

Because in a certain two years, when the movement is at its peak, the students may be completely herding sheep. After the policy wind changed, the freshmen of the following two batches happened to catch up with the year of studying hard, and they may be more awesome than the graduates of the older batches.

Gu Biao finally gained her sister's trust, so she took the opportunity to tell the whole arrangement:

"I think I'll go back for you when I get my diploma in June. You'd better find some excuses in the past two months, such as reporting that you're unwell or something, apply, and then go through the process. ”

In the final analysis, the reason why the state allows middle school students to go to the countryside is that there are too few planned labor jobs in the cities today, and those who study in the cities are also unemployed.

Therefore, the state actually doesn't care who goes to the countryside, as long as the indicators of the same household are met, they can be replaced at any time by going through the application process.

"Okay, then I'll go and say hello to the branch secretary today. After the two harvests before the rain before tomorrow, it should be a little empty, and I will write a written application when the time comes. Gu Min agreed carefully.

The sisters and brothers made a calculation, and the sun was about to set, so they went to the cafeteria to eat.

Because of Gu Biao's helpers, Gu Min's harvest was three or four percent more than expected, and it was considered to have made up enough picking area in advance for the required work, and it would be empty tomorrow.

Before going to the cafeteria, Gu Min first let go back to the place where he lived-

It was a small cubicle in a farmhouse, only about 4 square meters. In addition to a partition bed, there is only a small wardrobe that is a little higher than the bedside table.

Usually, this room is shared by two girls, Gu Min and Mu Mingsha.

The reason why Gu Min wanted to go back to the house first was to hide the can of meat, and then only sandwiched a few pieces of meat and a few taels of moldy dried vegetables, and put them in an oxidized and blackened aluminum lunch box, so he dared to go to the canteen.

What she is afraid of is that "the meat is not exposed", and she took out two catties of meat at once, and the hatred value is too high.

While his sister was cleaning up the meat jar, Gu Biao also remembered the counseling book he brought, so he opened his schoolbag, took out a new set of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" and put it on the bed.

"Sister, this set of books is from Hujiang Publishing House, and you must not spread these words in the future: it seems that the above wants to rehabilitate the 'white dictatorium', so maybe this set of old books will be more authoritative than the textbooks of previous years in the future. If you're going to take the university entrance exam, study with this on your own when you have time – don't show it to anyone else!"

Gu Min subconsciously touched the book cover, and asked intuitively: "This book looks solid...... That's a lot of money, isn't it?"

Gu Biao said honestly: "A set of 20 yuan, fortunately, the factory gave my father a bonus for several months." He doesn't want you to waste your school either. ”

When Gu Min heard this price, he was trembling in his heart.

Although she doesn't know when she will be able to resume the college entrance examination, since her father has spent so much money, even if it is to be worthy of the 20 yuan, she has to work hard to study.

For the fourth-level workers, this set of books is half a month's salary!

"In the future, when I have time at night, I will go to the roasted tea room to borrow the firelight to see, there is no electric light in this house. ”

Gu Min said, hid the book properly, and took his younger brother to the cafeteria.

……

In the late 70s, most of the ordinary farmers cooked at home, and rarely ate from the farm or the canteen in the community.

After all, it's not the big pot of rice twenty years ago.

However, the units of tea farms are very different from those production teams that are mainly paddy fields in the plains—because those communes and production teams all produce their own grain, and after paying the public grain, they keep their own rations.

The tea farm does not produce grain, and all the output is purchased by the state, and then you are given rations and non-staple food. If the educated youth want to cook, they have to receive food from the canteen in the field according to their work, which is very troublesome.

In particular, the "Red Star Tea Farm" where Gu Min cut the queue was built after 71 years of removing the old and welcoming the new, and it was originally an uncultivated mountain land with no indigenous farmers. Therefore, almost all the members are educated youths, and they all have to eat in the canteen.

When Gu Biao and Gu Min arrived, it was a meal, and the cafeteria was full of people.

Many people eat with aluminum lunch boxes, and they have to find an empty space to squat to eat.

Gu Biao can only follow the customs of the locals and feel the strange life experience of eating while walking.

Gu Min had long been used to it, holding the lunch box while pulling it, looking around, and then saw the branch secretary of the production team.

She remembered what her brother cared about, so she took the initiative to go over and say hello: "Secretary Wang, is it convenient to speak?"

The branch secretary is a forty-year-old native of the city, named Wang Pingshan. His hair was knotted, he looked stubby and pierced, his skin was rough and dark, and he wore a homespun cloth dress with high trouser legs, and a tight cloth belt around his waist.

However, under the rough appearance, a pair of eyes flashed with the cunning of a philistine.

There was also a young man sitting next to Wang Pingshan, with similar eyebrows, it was his son, slightly older than Gu Min by one or two years. It doesn't look rough on his hands and feet - maybe his dad has relied on the power in his hands to let him avoid a lot of hardship.

Wang Pingshan smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, what's the matter, is there something wrong?"

However, his son reacted quickly, and stood up with a "whew", his expression was first happy. Then he saw Gu Biao behind Gu Min, and became a little puzzled again:

"Minmin, don't you eat fish? Mingzhou's hairtail, this is ...... behind you"

Gu Min took the opportunity to introduce: "This is my younger brother, Gu Biao." Brought me something from Qiantang. ”

When Secretary Wang's son heard that this fart child was Gu Min's younger brother, his expression immediately relaxed, and he pretended to be forced: "It turned out to be called Gu Biao." My name is Wang Feng, and you will come to me if you have anything to do in the future!"

Gu Biao sighed without a trace, he had already seen through Wang Feng's scheme.

Gu Min pretended not to understand, and continued to follow the words: "Secretary, I went back from my last home visit and checked in Qiantang Hospital, and many indicators of my health are not good. I had a little heat stroke when I was picking tea in the afternoon, but fortunately my brother carried me down the mountain.

I discussed it with my family, and my dad also asked me to go back to finish high school, and let my brother do my job as an indicator - he has been skinny since he was a child, not material for studying, and I and my family have given up on him. I'm going to ask you to take care of me in the future. ”

Gu Min didn't care about Gu Biao's reputation, he just made up his brother's black materials and called him a bastard who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.

However, only in this way can outsiders believe more in the Gu family's superficial motive of letting Gu Biao replace Gu Min.

Under the three views of the people at that time, if there was a son and a daughter in the family, it would definitely be to give the opportunity to study to the son. If the son's stubbornness and aversion to school are not described harshly, outsiders will definitely doubt their real motives for abandoning their children and protecting their daughters.

Therefore, Gu Biao could only endure it.

As soon as Gu Min's words were finished, Wang Pingshan hadn't spoken, but Wang Feng couldn't help it first. "This ...... Minmin, if you work too hard, tell me, I'll help you adjust ......."

"Wang Feng, don't talk nonsense!" Gu Min was ashamed and angry, and decisively interrupted Wang Feng's nonsense.

Gu Min also knew that Wang Feng had been pestering her a little over the past year, but there had been no obvious pressure, so she felt that she had to hide.

Anyway, it didn't take a few years to go to the countryside, and I went back to the city after a while.

Who knew that now that he had the opportunity to return to the city, he would still come to obstruct him.

Wang Pingshan also reacted, glaring at his son complainingly, and Wang Feng was silent.

"No city!" so many people in the cafeteria listened. How will Lao Tzu serve the public in the future? Even if you want to be a woman, you don't have a style like you!" Wang Pingshan's heart complained fiercely about his son.
