After the Zhang family moved to a new house, they invited acquaintances from the village to come over for a banquet the next day.

There are a lot of people invited, in Shen Yuehua's view, it is mainly divided into three categories, the first category is the relatives of the family, most of them are the maiden family of the woman who married in, such as more than a dozen people from Ma Guihua's mother's family, Cui Doctor from Cui Hehua's family, Han Qianfang's old parents and several brothers and sisters.

Shen Yuehua originally wanted to invite her uncle and aunt, but after Han Chunlan's incident, Zhao Lihua completely hated her, it seemed that it was her fault that Han Chunlan would do this, and Han Chunlan would become what she is now, which was also due to her, so as soon as she heard that she was going to come to the banquet, she immediately closed the door and refused, but Han Nianjun and Sun Anhe both came.

The second type of people are friends of the Zhang family, like several friends invited by Zhang Jianye, there are many such people, and most of them are the ones who helped build the house at the beginning, and Shen Yuehua has also met a few times.

Then there are the friends of the Educated Youth Institute invited by Shen Yuehua, all the educated youths in Zhangjiacun Educated Youth Institute were invited by Shen Yuehua, and they were also very cooperative, there was nothing to do during this time, and they also wanted to know how Shen Yuehua was doing now.

Now the people are simple, and the educated youths couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw Shen Yuehua's residence, originally they felt that Shen Yuehua had married a loss a few months ago, but now it seems that this new house, coupled with the Zhang family's kind attitude towards Shen Yuehua, as well as their unconditional support and tolerance for Shen Yuehua, are extremely enviable.

Dong Jiaoqian immediately said: "It's still Yuehua's life, it's a good day." It's more comfortable than the people in the city, and it makes me want to get married. ”

After she finished speaking, Xu Hui glared at her and said: "Speaking of which, Yuehua is still smart, and not everyone can live a good life, besides, we are knowledgeable and educated young people, you can't just look at the scenery in front of you, and you can't be jealous of Shen Yuehua." ”

is a matter of one sentence, but it was raised to such a height by Xu Hui. It seems that Dong Jiaoqian is very ignorant.

Dong Jiaoqian was also a little embarrassed on her face. But maybe he was used to being reprimanded by Xu Hui from time to time, so he didn't say anything, just dragged Xu Hui's clothes and shook them, and said coquettishly: "Oops." I said the wrong thing. Don't be angry. Yuehua won't care. ”

Shen Yuehua watched the two of them sing and harmonize, and suddenly felt an uncomfortable sense of strangeness, after she deliberately distanced herself. No matter how deep the feelings are, they will fade away, and the two of them are a little sour when they speak, but this is also human nature, envy is okay, Shen Yuehua accepts it, but jealousy is okay.

Shen Yuehua rolled her eyes, as if she hadn't heard it, but fortunately, the other people were concentrating on the house from a distance, and no one noticed the movement here.

After Kong Lingxuan looked at the house, he took the initiative to come to her, his expression was a little uncomfortable, it seemed that after the county did the matter, Shen Yuehua had not seen him again, and even after the truth of the county affairs came out, Kong Lingxuan looked at her gaze and was a little evasive.

It was rare to see Kong Lingxuan come over and talk to her in person, Shen Yuehua looked up at him, Kong Lingxuan scratched his head, and said: "The new house is good, I see Xiao Wu, your life is good, I also have a deeper understanding of the matter of educated youths going to the countryside, you have taken a good start and made a good example, so do you mind if I write your affairs into a document and hand it over to the organization, so that they can know that the educated youths going to the countryside have indeed penetrated into the workers, peasants and soldiers, and can live in harmony and unity with the peasants?" ”

Shen Yuehua blinked, she didn't expect Kong Lingxuan to say about this matter, she thought about it and didn't refuse, but readily agreed, and said: "That's fine, thank you Brother Kong, I live a good life in the Zhang family now, and the time I spent in the Educated Youth Institute is also a fulfilling time that I will never forget, you can write about the experience of my marriage." ”

Seeing this, Kong Lingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said some beautiful words, then turned around and walked away.

And the third type of people are the village chief, the village party secretary, and Kong Lingxuan, the representative of the educated youth, but whenever something big happens in Zhangjia Village, there are several of them who appear, not to mention that they will show up when it is a big event like building a house.

There were nearly 100 people in a group of people, first under the leadership of Han Qianfang, who was sharp and sharp-tongued, around the newly built house, and then the village chief made a speech, and then the banquet officially began.

The Zhang family is not stingy, although the meals cooked this time are all common home-cooked dishes, but the amount is very sufficient, and the tube is full.

In general, the feast lasted from morning to late in the evening, and the expenses for today were ridiculously high, but fortunately, the gift money was also collected to make up for the loss of money.

It's really late today, Li Guifen is also tired all day, and now she doesn't want to move when she sits down, looking at the leftovers in the yard, they are all bits and pieces of leftovers, and the Zhang family is also cooking with a pinch, and they haven't gone too far.

Li Guifen said: "Pour out all the rest of the things, just clean up at will, you are also tired for a day, go to bed early." ”

Shen Yuehua and a few others lifted their spirits, cleaned up the yard briefly, and then went back to the house to rest.

After Shen Yuehua washed her face and washed up, she didn't even want to move her fingers, and this time the banquet was held in the big courtyard of Zhang Jianguo, the eldest brother of the Zhang family, so the small courtyard where she lived was basically clean.

She cleaned up casually and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

After this day, Shen Yuehua lived a rare idle life, there was no need to take care of the work in the field, and the village also assigned everyone a task, which was not a difficult job, Shen Yuehua worked for two hours a day and could finish the work.

And she still went to Sun Anhe's house every other day to help make hundreds of pastries, and if she had enough time, she would also help clean up and decorate the house, so that Sun Anhe could marry a wife.

Sun Anhe's wedding time has also been set, which is exactly the week after the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, after October. The specific time is still being discussed, but no matter how it is calculated, there is still nearly a month to go in October, and the new house can be arranged in a hurry.

In Shen Yuehua's spare time, she will take time to read books, write letters, and live a leisurely life, and when she returns from her life, she will come comfortably and comfortably. I also eat a lot during this time. Shen Yuehua felt that she was growing meat every day.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was mid to late September, and on this day, Shen Yuehua was taking a nap as usual. Then he heard a knock at the door. She woke up from her bed in a daze. It took a long time to wake up after blinking his eyes, and while turning over and getting out of bed to put on his shoes, he asked, "Who?" ”

There was a knock on the door and a pause. The familiar female voice said excitedly: "Yuehua, it's me, Dong Jiaoqian." ”

Shen Yuehua rubbed her eyes, walked over and opened the door, seeing that she was the only one outside the door, she asked curiously, "Jiaoqian, why are you here?" Is there something wrong with me? ”

Dong Jiaoqian's face was excited, the excitement was indescribable, she even jumped up and down on the ground, and said happily: "It was Brother Kong who asked me to come to you, saying that I have something very important to say." ”

"Something very important?" Shen Yuehua muttered and repeated, she was puzzled for a while, and when she followed Dong Jiaoqian halfway, she remembered the current point in time, and the most important thing, that is, at this point in time in her previous life, it was the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination from the Educated Youth Institute, and it didn't take long...... She rolled down the hill next to the Educated Youth Center and dropped the child in her belly.

She stood in place as if she had been struck by lightning, Dong Jiaoqian looked at her stunned in confusion, hurriedly dragged her, and said, "Why are you standing here, let's go, Brother Kong said that he was going to inform us of a good matter." ”

Shen Yuehua swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Dong Jiaoqian's face flushed with excitement, and in a trance, she seemed to see herself who couldn't take care of anything after learning the news in her previous life.

She glanced at Dong Jiaoqian with a complicated expression, sighed and said casually: "It's just that suddenly, my stomach is a little uncomfortable......"

She actually didn't want to go over, anyway, she also knew what news Kong Lingxuan was going to announce, and the closer to the time and place of her abortion in her previous life, the more nervous she became, and even her scalp was numb.

She spurned her cowardice in her heart, but her feet seemed to have roots, and she couldn't take a single step.

Dong Jiaoqian heard her say that her stomach hurt, so she looked down at her stomach in a panic, her eyes were stunned, and she said in embarrassment: "Then what to do, we can't go to the village or the store now, we are halfway there, whether we go back or continue to walk, we have to walk a long way." ”

Shen Yuehua was sobered up by her anxious tone, what was in front of her was the vivid Dong Jiaoqian, and now it was 1977 when she was reborn.

She will never go down the same path as she has in her life, and she will also mention the framing of others, and she will not lose the child in her womb again.

Thinking like this, she became bolder, she wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said, "I'll be fine if I hurt for a while, let's keep walking, Brother Kong must be in a hurry." ”

As soon as Dong Jiaoqian heard that she could continue to go, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she asked again in embarrassment: "Is it really okay?" ”

Shen Yuehua nodded, knowing that Dong Jiaoqian must be in a hurry, and just as she had figured it out, she took the lead in walking towards the front and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”

When Dong Jiaoqian heard this, she followed behind her with a smile, but this time the speed of both of them slowed down.

Shen Yuehua looked at the sudden undulating hillside not far away, on which the Educated Youth Institute was located.

During this period, Dong Jiaoqian didn't say a word, and Shen Yuehua squinted into the distance, and her thoughts drifted to the distant past.

In his previous life, because there was a male educated youth with a very good background lurking in the educated youth institute, his father was a very decent person, but the Cultural Revolution was hailed as the darkest period of history in New China, not without reason.

Good people are often easily framed and exiled, and his parents, who are getting older, have been sent to the more remote and desolate countryside, and it seems that they were only welcomed back to Beijing at the beginning of this year.

And in a qiē began to develop in a good way, the parents of the male intellectuals also brought more good news, and often the male intellectuals read the letter silently.

But the big news that the college entrance examination is about to resume is impossible to hide, and the male educated youth also has feelings for the educated youth institute, so he told the people of the educated youth institute a month in advance.

Shen Yuehua clearly remembers that in September 1977, the Ministry of Education of China held a national conference on the enrollment of colleges and universities in Beijing, and at this meeting, it was decided to resume the national college entrance examination, which had been suspended for 10 years, that is, to resume the college entrance examination, and to select talents to go to universities by means of unified examination and merit-based admission.

This news is good news for New China.

However, on October 21, 1977, the major Chinese media at that time announced the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, and revealed that this year's college entrance examination would be held nationwide in a month.

This news has brought hope to all the educated youths in the countryside, who have been in the countryside for different times, but they all have one thought, that is, to go back to their hometown and return to the city.

is like the people from the Zhangjia Village Educated Youth Institute, Kong Lingxuan is the one who has been in the countryside for the longest time, and Shen Yuehua herself, since graduating from junior high school at the age of 15, has followed everyone to the countryside and was assigned to the land in Zhangjia Village alone.

I am not familiar with the place here, and I have to work in the fields every day, and the days are hard, but the most unforgettable thing is that I can't return to the city for such a long time.

There are so many educated youths who want to go back to the city, and there are only a few who can go back in the end.

And the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination is like the only sunlight through the dark clouds in the hazy weather, and no matter how many people can be illuminated, at least this represents a kind of hope, representing the hope that they can finally return to the city.

Shen Yuehua sighed deeply, yes, this news is hope.

At the same time, it is also a terrible nightmare, because of this news, his younger self in his previous life chose to kill his children and divorce, and those young people who had already talked to the villagers also chose to break up.

Is life in the city really that good?

Not necessarily.

But what you can't get is the best, Shen Yuehua asked herself, even she herself is not exempt.

And Shen Yuehua could already predict how shocked and happy today's Educated Youth Institute would be after announcing the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination.

For the entire Zhangjia Village, the accumulated contradictions between the educated youth and the peasants will also be completely exposed to everyone this time. (To be continued.) )
