Chapter 40: The Present Situation
Kong Lingxuan is the oldest one in the educated youth institute, and he was also sent to Zhangjia Village in the 60s, and he stayed here for seven or eight years, and he didn't return to the city.
He is not only old and senior, but also extremely fair and fair, so he was elected as a representative by the people of the Educated Youth Institute and became the representative of the people in the brigade.
When Shen Yuehua saw him, she also vaguely remembered some things back then, and she had a good impression of the middle-aged man Kong Lingxuan in front of her, and said in her heart: This person is indeed a negotiable person.
And the moment she walked into the door, the other people were sitting with their backs to her, but Kong Lingxuan was facing her.
He was originally holding a stack of papers in his hand and was reporting something, but after seeing Shen Yuehua walk in, he immediately silenced, stood up and walked in front of her, and said with some excitement: "Little Wu, you're back!" ”
Xiao Wu was referring to Shen Yuehua at the time.
Because they have the same background and experience, they are all kinds of uncomfortable when they come to the team, and they have an indescribable estrangement from the big and rough people in the village.
In this case, it is inevitable to hold groups internally, so the educated youths of the Educated Youth Institute, no matter what they actually think, but after getting along, the relationship has become extremely close.
And she is the youngest one in the entire educated youth center, and she is also the youngest one among the "five golden flowers".
Speaking of which, there are 5 women and 7 men in the educated youth center, a total of 12 educated youths.
In order to facilitate the call of the girls, they are the first little two, the third little four, the little five, and after getting along well, they feel that this doesn't sound good, so they no longer call each other like this.
And maybe it's because she is the youngest one in the entire educated youth center, so everyone still retains this name, and when they call her, they basically don't call her name, but call her Xiaowu very affectionately.
Shen Yuehua had already forgotten the past qiē, but when she saw this familiar scene, she recalled most of the past memories.
Shen Yuehua smiled and faced Kong Lingxuan, "Brother Kong, I'm back." ”
And after her voice landed, the other people also put down the notes they were taking in their hands and turned to look at her.
After she took the lead in greeting, several girls who had a good relationship with her, that is, the other three people in the team, surrounded her, including Xu Hui and Dong Jiaoqian, who had come to Zhang's house before to look for her.
In addition to the two of them, she also has a good relationship with Tong Dina of the Educated Youth Institute.
As for the other girl named Zhao Xianglan, she is the oldest of the five female intellectuals, and at the same time she is gentle and gentle, and to be honest, she doesn't like to talk much.
Zhao Xianglan is taciturn, and she can't talk to them at the younger level, so she doesn't communicate much with her, and she doesn't seem to be very close on weekdays.
And Tong Daina, who is straightforward and a little coquettish, doesn't speak very well, and is a tepid friend with her.
She didn't have a deep impression of Tong Daina, she only knew that the other party was from the city in Beijing, and it was said that her origin was not small, and she could feel from her name that it was linked to capitalism.
So when she was sent to the village during the Cultural Revolution, she was sent to this remote place because of her name and background.
Instead of being sent to a village not far from Beijing for renovation, like other Beijingers with the same status.
Shen Yuehua hadn't seen them for a long time, and they were a little rusty to get along, and looking at the awkward appearance of these people, she knew that they felt the same as each other.
Their current feeling is similar to Shen Yuehua, although the reasons are different, but when Shen Yuehua was sick, she was taken to their home by her aunt Zhao Lihua.
After that, we will meet again this time, and Shen Yuehua is already married, and she is no longer the educated youth in front of her.
Speaking of which, there is a sense of being a person.
Shen Yuehua was a little embarrassed at the beginning, and she really couldn't remember how she got along with these people in the first place, but fortunately, these people looked similar to her, and she quickly regained control of the situation.
She smiled and said, "Sisters, I'm home, aren't you happy?" ”
Her somewhat ridiculous words made several female intellectuals roll their eyes, Tong Dina was the most taboo to speak, and at this moment, like a machine gun, she said in a da-da-da: "Happy, I can't wait to light firecrackers to celebrate, waiting for your old man." ”
What she said was not so good, but Shen Yuehua burst out laughing and said, "It's pretty much the same, isn't it just to light firecrackers to celebrate my marriage." ”
It would be much better for her to bring it up on her own initiative than for these people to ask again.
The matter of her marrying Zhang Jianbin is actually not a private matter for her alone, but a matter between the entire educated youth institute and the villagers of the brigade, which is like a marriage between two forces.
In the end, whether it is a good fate or a bad fate, just looking at Shen Yuehua's mouth, what is the current tone.
Shen Yuehua can probably guess that the thoughts of these educated youths are nothing more than taking the opportunity to make trouble, and now that the national policy is unclear, their life in the village is becoming more and more difficult, on the one hand, they miss their hometown and family, and on the other hand, they also yearn for their past life in the city.
Educated youth are not necessarily reluctant to bear the prosperity of the city, and the current city is not as good as the countryside, but at least the city is a place where they can show their strength, unlike this place in the brigade, where they work in the field regularly every day, such a hopeless life has long smoothed out the ambition in the hearts of the educated youth.
It is precisely because of this that there was a policy of returning to the city for the college entrance examination in 1977.
And in 1978, these unstable educated youths took advantage of the contradiction between a female educated youth and the people in the village to launch a major event that attracted the attention of the whole country, so that the state promulgated a policy, so that these decentralized educated youths have the hope of returning to the city.
Shen Yuehua smiled and talked with these people, but she was thinking about how to solve the follow-up events caused by her marriage to Zhang Jianbin and Zhang Jianbin in her heart.
