On the tenth day of the new year, a large family set off for the county.

In the past four years, the members of the club all know that Mr. Xiao has a house in the county, which is still the home of the richest man in the past, if it were not for taking care of Xiang Gang's daughter-in-law and children, even if the Xiao family does not return to Kyoto, they can live a comfortable life in the county.

As a result, no one gossips about them. Yes is also envy.

"Look, Gangzi's family has gone to the county to play again. ”

"I'm going to the county at this point, I'm afraid I'm not going to come back tonight. ”

"That's not it, Mr. Xiao has a house in the county, and he wants to live wherever he wants. ”

"I heard that the two public houses at the foot of the bridge belong to the army, so is the Gangzi family going to move to the county seat in the future and become a city person completely?"

"Really, the public house belongs to the troops, and the troops on the mountain?"

"I heard from my cousin who works in the county Revolutionary Committee next door to my mother's house, that there are no other troops in our county, most of them are the ones on Yanqi Mountain. ”

"It's a pity that the People's Liberation Army on the mountain rarely comes down, otherwise they can find a partner for my girl. ”

"Do you think that's what you think of, how many people in our commune want to marry their daughters to the People's Liberation Army on the mountain, and the commune next door is also eyeing it. Not to mention the proximity to home, there is also a ready-made public housing, where can I find such a good thing......"

“……”

Ying Fang listened to a few words, smiled and turned her head to look at Xianggang: "It seems that your soldiers are very popular." ”

Xiang Gang can hear what his daughter-in-law can hear, but he can't hear it? Shaking his head and smiling: "They don't want to think about it, how many of those who are selected to join Qunying Village have not yet started a family? Xiao Pan and Xiao Wang, they also implemented a lifelong event when they returned to their hometown last year." But the family room has indeed been built, and I wanted to take you to see it when I wanted to, so why don't you just do it today?"

It will be their home in the future, and there will always be some excitement about the new home.

Ying Fang actually wanted to see it for a long time, but the bridge has not yet been opened, and it is really a little distance to get off the boat at the pier and walk over.

With Xiang Gang here, this is not a problem.

The military card of the army was parked in the old man's yard, and he drove over, and he arrived in a short time.

The four-story public house may not be the highest in the provincial capital, but in the small county town of Ninghe, there is really no higher house than this.

Two buildings, one on the left and one on the right, there is a large flower bed in the middle, the greening has been done, clean and beautiful, and it makes people feel happy to watch.

In front of the building is a cement leveling open space, in the middle of which an octagonal well was dug, and a laundry table was built around the well. The laundry table is surrounded by a laundry field, a spacious field, when the weather is good, drying quilts and clothes, it is really much more convenient than a small corner of the balcony.

The building is surrounded by a red brick courtyard wall, which is two meters high. Osmanthus trees, pomegranate trees, ginkgo trees, and evergreen metasequoia and green pines are planted along the courtyard walls. The gaps between the trees are sprinkled with grass seeds, and there is no need to wait for spring, when the greenery is already springing.

When Yingfang pulled Xiang Gang to enjoy the greenery, Xiao Sanye and his wife had already rushed up to the second and third floors with the baby eggs to see the structure of the house, and came back and said: "One unit has two households, go up the stairs, there is a three-bedroom on the left, and a two-bedroom apartment on the right." The other unit is reversed, so it seems that the area of the middle two sets is a little smaller, and the east and west sets are larger. The upstairs and downstairs structures are the same, the bathroom is located in the house, unlike before, there is a bathroom on the first floor, and everyone washes together. Nowadays, the design is more and more user-friendly. ”

Jiang Xinrou added by the way: "Everything else is good, and the two-bedroom structure looks very high in terms of utilization." There is no north window, and the entrance door is closed, and the north and south are not transparent. It's okay in winter, but it's much cooler in summer. The rest of the east and west side sets, if you can choose, good girl, you try to choose the east side set, the west side set is too sunny in the summer, the west side of the room, the sun sets and you can still dry the bed, it's too hot to live!"

"It's too hot!"

"It's too hot!"

Yang Yang and Nuan Nuan giggled and learned.

It must have been Jiang Xinrou who was heard by them when she was muttering upstairs.

Jiang Xinrou rubbed the heads of the babies funny, and continued: "Good girl, you serve snacks, if you can pick them, you must let your son-in-law pick the east side set." The light is abundant, the ventilation is good, and the northwest wind does not blow in winter and the west sun does not bask in summer. Ordinary men don't pay attention to these details, but if you want to live a comfortable life, you still have to care about them. ”

Yingfang nodded to note it.

The group then discussed how to set up the three-bedroom house. Because of Xiang Gang's military position, he will definitely be able to get a three-bedroom apartment.

"If you move here, then Lao Xiao and I will live with Dad. Whether the babies live with you or with us, the two rooms will definitely be given to them. Jiang Xinrou said.

After a pause, he continued, "Actually, I would like the children to live with us at Dad's." Not to mention the big house, it's close to the school. You look new here, but the surrounding facilities are not complete, and there is nothing to do, and it will be enough to send them to school when the time comes. ”

Yingfang really didn't think about whether to move to the family room in one go when the bridge opened.

From the perspective of children's education, it must be better to live in the county.

In terms of the convenience of life, it is still good in the countryside - there are enough vegetables in the land in front of the house and behind the house, and when you are worried about meat, you can go up the mountain to hunt game and fish at any time, and there are endless wild fruits and mountain goods that can be picked.

And living in the county, you have to buy everything, and you have to have a ticket for everything. The key is to spend money and tickets are not sure to buy to the satisfaction of the purchase.

"Mom, why don't you let the children go to preschool at Union Elementary School for a year this year? Adapt well, let's move to the county next year. ”

"Baby eggs are so smart, why do you need to adapt. Jiang Xinrou muttered, "Besides, you should be in college this year, and when you are not at home, you will let the baby eggs stay in the commune to study in elementary school?"

It stands to reason that Yingfang will be able to go to college last year.

The workers, peasants, and soldiers who began to recruit college students in the 70s have always implemented a recommendation system.

The recommended criteria are: workers with good political ideology, good health, about 20 years old, workers with an education equivalent to junior high school or above and having participated in labor practice for two years, poor middle peasants, PLA soldiers and young cadres. In addition, there is also a group of people who have performed particularly well in the unit, who can also become workers, peasants, and soldiers college students after being recommended by the local revolutionary committee and passing the political examination.

With such a large population in the country, there are still many people who are eligible and willing to go to college. After all, after graduation, the identity of the cadre will be determined, and the iron rice bowl will be eaten by the state. Therefore, every year there are more monks and less porridge.

In particular, it fell to the local communes, and even fewer places were given to the poor and middle peasants. Like Yanqi Commune, due to its small population, the county gives a place every year. However, there are more than one or two people waiting in line to go to college, so every year there is a competition in March.

Thanks to Xiang Rongxin, the secretary, who is fair and strict, even if the threshold of his home is about to be broken by those villagers who are carrying things to ask for intercession, he will never engage in particularism in this matter.

How can there be a small number of places and a large number of people who meet the qualifications for recommendation?

One by one, one by one.

Ying Fang submitted her application report after careful consideration when the triplets turned two, and after waiting for year after year, it was finally her turn last year.

Unexpectedly, in July, there was a major earthquake in Tangcheng, with countless casualties, and the General Military Region ordered all troops to participate in post-earthquake relief. Qunyingzhai naturally went.

Xiang Gang played a leading role in the disaster relief site with great efforts, and rescued hundreds of people in just one day. It was all about moving heavy beams, stone walls, and digging out of the rubble. At this time, time is equal to life, and a minute faster may save one more person.

But after all, it's not an iron body, and at night it is inevitable that his energy is a little lacking, and when he was saving a mother and son, he was almost hit by a stone pillar that supported two floors. It's a shame that he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been slammed on his back, and he would have to spend his life on the sickbed.

But there is also misfortune in luck - when he was hiding with his child, he was poked in a bloody hole by the steel bars in the rubble, and his right shoulder was also bruised.

Ying Fang stayed up for two nights with red eyes, until the orthopedic doctor of the Provincial Military Hospital gave a clear answer, "Cooperate with the hospital's treatment, and you will not fall into the root of the disease", then her body weakened, and she leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.

She understands that those who are soldiers have lofty ambitions that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve. If they were injured and doomed to never go to war again, it would be painful.

Luckily, it's fine.

But as the old saying goes, "it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones", let alone such a serious injury.

Ying Fang thought twice and decided to postpone her college attendance. There is always a book to read, and her husband needs her care very much at this time.

So she decisively gave up last year's quota to Feng Junda, who was behind her. And she postponed it for another year.

Xiang Gang didn't know at first, it should be said that except for Yingfang, no one in the family knew that she had made such a decision.

Until the end of August, the county issued a document to inform the new class of college students to prepare for the start of school, and gave the recommended indicators that were finally their turn to others to the distressing baby daughter-in-law who had just learned that she was stupid.

What did Yingfang say at that time?

"Won't you just wait another year? Besides, I can't bear to baby eggs, so it's good to stay with them for an extra year. ”

Ying Fang said so, and Xiao Sanye, who was a father and mother, naturally had nothing to say. Anyway, as long as the girl is happy, anything goes.

Fortunately, Xiang Gang's injury healed quite well. In addition, there is a daughter-in-law who is staring at it wrong, feeding pig's trotters and bone broth, not letting me step on the ground for three months, not letting strenuous exercise for half a year, and by the end of last year, I was more robust than before the injury.

Students in Ninghe County do not have many opportunities to recommend going to universities in other provinces, unless they are particularly outstanding and have received provincial and municipal honors, they may be eligible to recommend well-known universities in other provinces such as Kyoto, and generally go as far as the provincial capital.

Even if there is an index that falls on Ninghe County, it is also to consider the residents of the county, such as workers who have been rated as labor pacesetters for three consecutive years, and small cadres who are active at the grassroots level. The best school that poor rural students like Yingfang have the opportunity to go to is the University of Province X.

If the number of places in the university in Province X is also full, it will be randomly arranged to the nearest prefecture-level city school.

Ying Fang pondered that since she couldn't go to a well-known university, it would be good to simply be assigned to a nearby municipal school, at least close to home. Regardless of the money, I can come back every week.

There are two schools in the prefecture-level city closest to Ninghe, one belongs to the normal school and the other is a health school.

After graduation, the former was assigned to work as a teacher in a school in the district, and the latter was assigned to a hospital at or above the county level to engage in medical work.

Yingfang thinks it's all good. The latter, in particular, is quite relevant to the industry she is interested in.

Jiang Xinrou didn't agree with her daughter's idea. According to her, since it will take three or four years to go to university, why should she go to a small place to study at a little-known middle school teacher or health school? If Yingfang was willing to run so far, she designated to urge her husband to go back to Kyoto to find acquaintances and relationships, and to study in those two universities no matter what.

Xia Lao thinks that the university in X province is also very good, firstly, it is closer to home than Kyoto, and secondly, it is also the best university in the provincial capital.

In short, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the public says that the public is reasonable.

Yingfang spread her hands and said that she would not be entangled in these, and that she would be divided into where the admission notice would study.

Mom and Dad and Xia Lao said it lightly, but if they really want to implement it, Ying Fang knows in her heart that there is still a certain risk. Rather than being pulled into pigtails by someone with a heart, it is better to give the opportunity to God.

Yingfang has always felt that she is very favored by God, maybe she is the little girl left behind by God. I haven't seen the earth dragon turn over and die in the previous life, and she can continue to live in another place, who else can beat her than luck?

And she and Xiang Gang analyzed it, no matter where they are distributed, there is a solution.

If she goes to Kyoto to go to university, she will move back to Kyoto with her triplets so that she can see her babies every day after school. Xiang Gang can also go to Kyoto to see them after resting.

If you are assigned to a university in a provincial capital, it will be easy to do. I go home twice a month, and at other times, my parents or Xiang just have time to take the baby eggs to the provincial capital to see her.

As for the school assigned to a nearby prefecture-level city, it will follow her original idea.

As a result, all aspects were considered, but I didn't expect Xiang Gang to be injured on a mission. Gotcha!

But this year is no different.

"Then it's decided! If we go out to study and go home every week, we'll all move to the county. In this way, you have to take the ferry back to Jiangbei, so it is better to save some time than to accompany our baby eggs. Jiang Xinrou said.

"You are stupid!" Xiao Sanye teased his daughter-in-law, "The bridge will be passable next month, and there will definitely be a bus stop in Jiangbei in the future, where to take the ferry." Maybe the pier will close soon. ”

Jiang Xinrou thought about it for a while, and smiled relaxedly: "Then don't worry, you can live wherever you want." ”

"Originally, you were in a hurry. ”

"Xiao Yanwu, your skin is itchy again, isn't it?"

"Don't don't, daughter-in-law, I'm wrong, don't pinch here......"
