followed Shang Kang into the house, put a camphor wood box on the old man's kang, opened it and looked at it, and drank! The brand new quilt cover, neatly folded really good shirts, colorful velvet pants, sweater pants, thread pants, and two watches on top, all of which are brand new! The steel case and strap sparkled in the sun, "Xiao Lu, look at it, what is this called swollenness!" I counted, and even the four and five of our family got married! ”

Luli laughed! "Don't just laugh." Shang Kang closed the box and pulled him to sit down, "Xiao Lu, you have a good brain, think of a way for your uncle?" ”

"This ...... It depends on the uncle...... Yours up. ”

"What do you mean by looking at me?"

"You...... If you always want to ...... If you want, keep this ...... Some. ”

"Oh, this can't be done, who are you doing with me?" Shang Kang shook his head and waved his hand together, seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, "I also heard that there is such a pickled thing in other townships, it is someone else, I don't care, how old am I, take advantage of this?" Let others know, do you want to plant it? I'm afraid of death in the future, and I won't have the face to see my ancestors! ”

Luli nodded, no longer joking, "If that's the case, let's have a meeting and ...... in person Let's make it clear, this matter still has to be commented on! Don't let people gossip, and don't let people look down on the old and young masters of our business. ”

Shang Kang slapped his thigh hard, "Yes, this is the main thing." Who goes and who stays, everyone has the final say, our businessmen, old and young masters, can't poke the backbone for this! He said, "Then what do you say...... Constitution? ”

"I'll think about it and talk about it."

"Hurry up, before you go to the ground, this is ...... It's better to settle down and stop putting it off any longer. ”

"I know." Lu Li asked, "How many places does Merchant Lin have?" ”

"Five." Shang Kang said: "That's what I think......

"It's time to eat, old man, and Xiaoxiao are talking while eating."

"Okay, okay." Shang Kang threw away the cigarette and sat cross-legged, "Xiaoxiao, let's eat and talk, eat and talk." ”

After having dinner at Shangkang's family, Lu Li discussed it with him seriously, and then turned around and went home, as soon as he entered the gate, he saw Qiang Yingmei holding the child and Hu Xuejun standing at the door, arguing with Xu Yunjian, "No, Sister Qiang, Sister Hu, you don't know your little temper, you have to be in a hurry to come back!" You can't let me get beaten, can you? Ay? Don't fight with me, he's back. There are words and novels to go. ”

"What's wrong?"

Qiang and Hu smiled a little awkwardly, "That...... Xiao Lu, you see, for two years in a row, we didn't give you New Year's greetings, and the last time Sister Qiang gave birth, it was still you...... I helped get you to the hospital. We haven't said anything about ......."

Luli looked down and saw a basket of eggs and two boxes of snacks on the ground, and he understood. “…… So, I discussed with Sister Hu and came to see you. Originally, I was supposed to go to Tian (Tianjin) to pay you New Year's greetings, no, the child is still too young,......"

Lu Li stretched out his hand and hugged the little one from her arms, teasing it a few times, the little guy is really a child of all the educated youth, his father can't count on it at all, or relies on everyone's strength, little by little to pull the big one, so the child is not afraid of life, giggles. Qiang Yingmei and Hu Xuejun secretly shouted that there is a door! "Let's go, come in and talk."

Led the two women into the room, Lu Li hugged the child, laughed and teased for a while, and then handed it back to his mother, "Sister Qiang, Sister Hu, what do you think...... Think, I see. ”

"That's good, that's good. Merchant Lin who doesn't know that Lu Li is the love of the branch secretary! If you can ......"

"Sister Hu, these are two different things, I must never say such things. Don't play my part with me. ”

"Huh?" The two girls were stunned for a moment, "You...... Isn't it too little? ”

"Sister Qiang, Sister Hu, I ...... last year To join the party, you have taken an oath under the banner of the party. Go through the back door..., I will never do anything that benefits myself! ”

The second girl's face turned red, and she forcibly explained, "How can this be through the back door?" Even if you ask you to say something to us at the branch secretary, this can't work? ”

"Nope." Lu Li pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Qiang, Sister Hu, I'm so ...... Let me tell you, I have discussed with the branch secretary, this time, don't even think about the quota that went to the countryside 70 years ago! ”

The second daughter is really a little disappointed, she stuck the pass so deadly, didn't she give people a way to go at all?! "Then, what if you came here 70 years ago and don't pass the review?"

"Then postpone. However, our village ...... So many people, you say, can they all ...... Unqualified? ”

Hu Xuejun was sad, she and these days (Tianjin) educated youth are also friends, and they know some of Lu Li's spleen surnames, but when they say this, there is no room for negotiation at all, so they have to get up gloomily and say goodbye.

Sending the two of them away along with the gifts, Luley went back to the house and called a few people over, "This matter...... And ye saw me, before I went down to the earth...... It may take a few days to be busy, so here, set a rule for my brother in advance. If anyone dares to recruit people into the yard again, they will get out of here! If you want to say you can't do it, you can't get in the way, just say it now. Anyway, don't think about taking this opportunity to go back to the city, don't hurt your feelings for this little thing, you move now,

I can also help you move. ”

Luo Yaohua looked at each other a few times, "I didn't say it, I didn't say it, I just locked the door, and no one would open it, okay?" ”

Lu Li's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he asked again, "Anti-cultivation, why are you ...... Say? ”

Lin Yanxiu's leopard eyes widened, and Lu Li's words made him very dissatisfied! "Why do you just ask me and Yaohua? Xu Yunjian, Zhang Qing, Liang Xin, why don't you ask? In your Luli's heart, only our brothers will open the back door, right? ”

Luli didn't say a word, apparently acquiescing.

"Pull it down, don't bother thinking about it, I'll move now! cao, it's not like there's no place to sleep without you! ”

Everyone hurriedly persuaded each other, but Lin Yanxiu didn't agree, and finally put away the cover roll for him, and went out with a smoke. "Luli, why do you bother? Isn't that the person who rebels? Luo Yaohua complained a few words and chased out.

Lu Li sighed secretly and looked at the other three people, "This matter, I can't help Lao Lin." But you'll have to think it through, and I'll apologize to him later, and I'll have to close the hole in advance—if something goes wrong with you, you'll figure it out for yourself, huh? ”

"Little brother, I listen to you the most, and you can do whatever you say."

"I'm fine."

Xu Yunjian sneered, "We buddies have been doing so many years, don't you know who I am?" Are you concerned? Don't chase Lao Lin back? Don't really hurt your buddy's heart for this. ”

Luli had to smile bitterly, "When this matter is over, why should I ask him personally?" Right now...... Don't mention it yet. ”

Lu Li did not hesitate to make a decision, he tightened the fence wall of his house, turned his head to find Shang Kang, discussed it with him, Shang Jiacheng, and Shang Jiajiang, and decided that without further delay, he would not be sure what kind of moth would come up. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a meeting was held in the auditorium of the brigade headquarters to explain this matter clearly to all the members and educated youth, so as to dispel some people's thoughts. It's cruel to think about it, but it's better to cut off this hope than to give them a false hope!

There are nearly 10,000 people in the merchant forest, and it is naturally impossible for them to come to the meeting, only the captains of the production teams or production experts can attend.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the official meeting began, Shang Jiacheng knocked on the microphone wrapped in red cloth on the table, and the auditorium was quiet, "Have a meeting today, huh?" Everyone may know why the meeting was held, that is, it was for the commune's educated youth to be transferred back to the city. Next, I would like to invite the secretary to speak! ”

Shang Kang said that he sat in his place, picked up the speech, "Comrades ,......" only read three words, the old man stopped talking, the speech was written by Lu Li, the words are written beautifully, but unfortunately, he read too little, many words do not know, so he had to turn around temporarily, and called Lu Li over, and the two of them whispered a few words.

The educated youth below didn't know what was going on, and began to whisper, "Don't even speak!" Shang Jiacheng was in charge of presiding over the meeting and shouted loudly, "Comrades, please give us a speech on behalf of the young people, Lu Li." After Shang Kang finished speaking, he sat down in the back without looking back.

This is really a duck on the shelf, his stuttering is known to everyone, on such an occasion, don't make jokes? Fortunately, he knew his own affairs, sat on the chair, and apologized to everyone first, "I...... Speak...... Wait, please don't worry. ”

Xu Yunjian shouted below, "I didn't say it, Xiaoxiao, buddy supports you!" Slow down, don't worry! ”

"Yes!" Luo Yaohua also shouted loudly: "Today's meeting is about all the educated youth, no matter how slow you are, the big guy has to wait, right?" ”

There was a burst of laughter in the venue, and the atmosphere eased, "...... My name is Lu Li, Tian (Tianjin) Zhiqing, I began to go to the countryside in August 74 ,......" He first introduced himself a few words, and continued: "The purpose of today's meeting, as the captain has said just now, is to select places. Our party branch has discussed with the commune, and what we can tell you is that there are a total of 5 places, and how to choose the specific ones, first of all, as of December 31, 1969, the educated youths who have completed the formalities in the commune will not be considered in principle after them. ”

As soon as this sentence was said, the pot immediately exploded below, "Why don't you consider us?" What's wrong with us? I didn't make any less efforts, and I didn't sweat less for the business Lin Jianjian, and there were a lot of difficulties at home, why didn't you consider us? ”

If there is opposition, there will naturally be those who agree, and those educated youths who may be selected immediately did not agree, after all, if they open their mouths, there are already few opportunities, and the chances will be even smaller, so they immediately fought back, "I didn't say that you didn't contribute, but you did, is it comparable to us?" We came a year before you! There has to be a first-come, first-served approach to everything, right? ”

"What is this called? Why don't we think about it when we have so many difficulties in our family......? ”

"Who doesn't have difficulties, do you think our family is a dead end? I'm the only one at home? Isn't there any reason for three relatives and six reasons? It's also a big family's business, a lot of difficulties! ”

Xu Yunjian sat in the front row, laughing happily! They know that they have no hope, so they all have the mentality of watching the excitement, hoping that the more chaotic the scene, the happier they will be.

"Don't make any noise!" Lu Li waited for a while, let these people vent, and yelled, "What's the noise? This is the decision of the Commune, made by the party branch! What's the use of noisy, noisy? No matter who it is, it will be disqualified from the review! ”

This sentence received excellent results, and the following immediately fell silent.

The next is the so-called charter, all the educated youth who may be selected, there is no right to score, and the commune party branch and production team must be evaluated according to the performance of several years, the scoring criteria are first the birth, then the arrival time, and then the work points, the number of work points, and the attendance situation, all of which must be listed one by one. The higher the score, the higher the natural ranking.

Some of these are objective points, such as origin, arrival time, attendance, cumulative work points, etc., which are all accounted for and data can be checked, and the only subjective is work performance. This can be done artificially, but since Lu Li and the others dare to convene a conference, they will not be completely unprepared, "This one, there may be intellectuals who think it is inappropriate, but it doesn't matter, we also have a charter." This charter is to visit the production team to which the educated youth belong one by one to obtain first-hand information. ”

“…… Here I would like to warn the comrades, if someone wants to go through the back door and pull relations, it is best not to make such calculations, the eyes of the masses are bright, once it is found that someone is giving or receiving gifts, no matter how high the ranking of this educated youth is, and no matter who the person receiving the gift is, the former will be immediately disqualified, and the latter will be dismissed on the spot! This is the result of the discussion between Comrade Kang Yue and other comrades of the party branch. In this matter, it is not easy to make at all! ”
