Chapter 014: Educated Youth
"Little fellow, you must come when I get married!" Chen Weihua turned around and said. I said this no less than five times.
"Don't worry! Brother Chen, as long as there are no special circumstances, I will definitely come! "Hong Yan's special situation is, of course, a possible emergency or really send him out.
Chen Weihua is 26 years old, about 1.65 meters, and his eyes are big. Dressed in a white-washed green military uniform, he looks very energetic. The scorching sun in the south didn't seem to have much effect on him, and his skin was rarely white. He is an intellectual youth of the Second Branch of the Farm, 15 kilometers away from Laozhai, who has recently been transferred to help the special brigade with logistics work.
After Hong Yan listened to him, he judged that he was a fellow villager in Shuchuan based on his accent. He excused himself and asked, it was from Yuzhou City. Chen Weihua has to set off from the field department every day to carry daily necessities or other items in the village. The migrant workers who were transferred were all people with advanced ideas and positive performance, and they were finally selected after passing the political examination.
After the two met once, they became familiar with each other. Chen Weihua said that in response to D's call, the side came. When he first came out, he was still a young man, but now he is a young man. It's been 10 years. He also said that there are many villagers in the nearby farms in Yuzhou. It is said that there are about 5,000 educated youths in Yuzhou on the nearby farm. Hong Yan sighed in his heart when he heard it, it's really a lot!
Chen Weihua did not dislike Hong Yan's young age, but talked happily. Under the guidance of Hong Yan's topic, he quickly talked about the life of educated youth in the border areas of the southern country, hardships, difficulties, confusion, confusion, and even the current adaptation and confusion of thoughts. When they first came here, they were militarized, living in straw huts, drinking raw water, and eating simple, but they opened up wasteland, cultivated land, destroyed ancient primeval forests, and planted rubber trees with economic benefits. The labor intensity is high, the water and soil are not adapted, and many people are seriously ill. According to him, more than a dozen young men and women did not survive and were laid to rest on the land.
However, as the revolutionary enthusiasm was exhausted, the ideals and heroism of life gradually disappeared, and the educated youths could no longer mention the passion of "changing the heavens and the earth" when they looked at the "broken grass houses", "salt soups" and "muddy roads" year after year. There are still many people who can't stand the climate, life and work here, so they secretly run home and become "deserters"!
It is too far from the heart of the Motherland that the ultra-left line has not disappeared. Some ultra-leftist practices have died down in the hinterland, but here they are "closely following" and "exalting." All kinds of "poisons" can be prevalent and even intensified -- what about dedicating knowledge to the rural areas? In the same way, "drawing lines and standing in line", "beating water dogs", and even "hanging and tying up" are second to none in the national agricultural reclamation system. Under this kind of torture, they had to endlessly "accept the re-education of the poor middle peasants", "work hard, work hard, and work hard", "live and die", and "don't die" are popular in the farms of southern Xinjiang.
"Little fellow, tell me why so many young people in their prime go to the mountains and go to the countryside? It is a good age to study and study, does the construction of 'four modernizations' only need to open up wasteland and cultivate land? They do not understand agricultural planting, scientific cultivation, only young, impulsive and blind, obedient, easy to manage. Ten years, but the youth of a generation. ”
One day, Chen Weihua said these words and was quite depressed.
Where can Hong Yan say anything. Many of the intellectual youths who have graduated from junior high school or gone to high school already have their own thinking and can see the world with their own eyes. After ten years of life and thinking, they have a certain positioning for themselves and the times. In the past two years, the policy changes and the loosening of thinking, especially the discussion on the criterion of truth, have caused many people to reflect on it, and thus have new ideas and new perspectives.
"Brother Chen, I can't say this question clearly. However, we must believe that the CPC Central Committee and the State Council will see this problem and have a proper solution! Didn't you say that some time ago, you sent a representative to Beijing to petition? Maybe the new policy will come down soon! Hong Yan shook his head, and then said some official words, mixed with speculation, which was actually a major policy in the coming year, "the return of educated youth to the city".
Hong Yan didn't say much, Chen Weihua felt that a child could give the answer he wanted, so he turned his mind to invite: "You don't participate in the training, go to the field with me to play a little!" ”
"Okay, then you wait for me for a while!" After Hong Yan finished speaking, he turned around, quickly entered the brigade headquarters, reported the destination to the Ouyang brigade and Political Commissar Zhao, and went out.
The two left the camp and went to the old village with a smile. Hong Yan drove a covered car at the station and went to the field. In less than 20 minutes, I came to the field department. There are more than 20 young men and women in Yuzhou who heard the news. However, when they saw the little fellow who was only twelve or thirteen years old, they were quite disappointed. More than a dozen of them turned around and left. Chen Weihua was embarrassed. Hong Yan didn't blame him, he was already very happy to have more than a dozen fellow villagers stay to talk to him.
Hong Yan's short figure was surrounded by them in the middle, and the male and female intellectuals who were nearly 20 years older than him quietly listened to him talk about Shuchuan, Yuzhou, and Yuzhou steel. In fact, some of them have not been home for many years, and although there are letters to and fro, what they hear from their hometown is a different kind of cordiality. When they heard about the drought in eastern Sichuan from last year to this year, they were very anxious. Summer came, and it finally rained heavily, and they were all very happy.
"When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears." Several female intellectuals actually cried on the spot. Soon, however, they were talking and laughing again.
"Brother Wa'er, Wei Hua said that there will be a change in the policy of educated youth in the center of Z? What's changed? Did you hear the inside word in the army? The female intellectual's expression was very focused, and her voice was so small that only the people gathered around could hear it.
"Sister, I have no inside information. I'm just guessing. Please *wish to represent the representative to enter Beijing, and the above will definitely receive it. Your dedication and your experience will be taken very seriously. ”
Hong Yan still didn't give an affirmative answer, but the meaning was quite obvious.
"Hell, if the above paid attention to it, it wouldn't have organized everyone to not work." Some educated youths questioned it.
"Yes, I value Chuanchuan."
"Your problems will definitely be solved, and the process is only a little tortuous. Hehe, it looks like none of you are going to work now! In fact, there will always be people who do not believe what you are going through, but only temporarily. As the saying goes, 'The future is bright, but the road is tortuous.' 'Brothers and sisters, relax your minds, and it is estimated that you will definitely choose to stay according to your own wishes. ”
The petition itself was also tortuous, and the first batch of representatives of the ghost envoys actually lost the thousands of yuan raised. The second batch successfully arrived, but encountered the second intellectual youth conference. This meeting was very strange, and the decision was made to continue to expand the number of 800,000 educated youths to go to the mountains and countryside. Moreover, it was Wang Dabeard, who was engaged in reclamation in the northwest at the beginning, and the result can be imagined, and they broke up unhappily. After the deputies returned, they mobilized the educated youth of the whole province to carry out the first non-work movement in the history of the republic, which lasted more than 100 days. Therefore, Hong Yan entered the department at 10 o'clock, so many educated youths came to watch the excitement. The campaign will continue until the end of the New Year, but Hong Yan also learned that although they do not go to work, the vigilant patrol tasks assigned by the field department are resolutely carried out. In other words, they are all very important.
"That's it! I definitely want to go back to Yuzhou, my parents are older! "Old Cheng is serious, filial piety is commendable, and he is more optimistic.
", Ge Laozi, Yuzhou is also a big city, it's much more convenient than this Shankakali!" This is a very straightforward one.
"Your turtle son is gone, don't worry!"
More people fell silent, thinking about their current situation. If there is a day when you are free to come and go, and you are willing to stay, what should you do?
Hong Yan estimates that these people are either married, or they have talked to friends who are about to get married, or they are worried about whether they will have a promising job when they return. Not only Yunnan is other provinces (regions), but a small number of educated youths still stayed after returning to the city.
"Wei Hua, you're going to get married soon, what should you do now?" Yang Liping looked at Chen Weihua and asked.
"What's the deal? Cold! Chen Weihua didn't feel like he was suffering from gains and losses.
"He's a cat that eats glutinous rice cakes -- he can't get rid of his claws. He dared to get rid of it and run away, hehe, the Gu worms on his body attacked, ten thousand arrows pierced his heart, and his whole body was rotten and died......" Luo Chengguang smiled heartlessly.
"Death light, if you don't say a word, you'll die!" "Fight yes, fight yes!" ……
Hong Yan looked at Chen Weihua. At this time, his face changed several times, and he didn't have a word of rebuttal. It seems that I made a girlfriend of an ethnic minority, and I was frightened by the legends of some women who fell into Gu.
Hong Yan slapped Chen Weihua on the back: "Brother Chen, it's not that serious!" However, even if you return to Chongqing, it may not be good? Life here isn't necessarily bad. If Brother Chen is happy with each other, marriage is also a good thing, isn't it? If you can catch your wedding date, my little brother will definitely come to congratulate! ”
"Look at you Luo Chengguang, you can't see it through the little fellow. I'd rather destroy ten temples than break down a marriage! Next time, if you talk nonsense, the old lady will reward you with two ears! "Yu Fang is very spicy.
"Sister, don't be a bully, no one wants it!" Luo Chengguang's donkey will not fall, and he will be hard-mouthed.
"Dead ball, no one wants?" Yu Fang made a fierce gesture, then suddenly threw a wink, and said softly: "Guangguang, marry me!" ”
Luo Chengguang jumped up and fled far away.
"Small!" Yu Fang pouted.
Chen Weihua settled down and ignored the two bickering: "Little fellow, take you to see my fiancée!" ”
"Let's go! Look at his little fiancée. Yu Fang proposed.
Everyone was about to go out when they saw two leaders in their forties in military uniforms coming over. Chen Weihua and others greeted him, and it turned out to be the battalion commander and horse instructor of the branch road. They left aside the educated youth and saluted Hong Yan: "Welcome to the little chief!" ”
"Don't dare to be!" Hong Yan hurriedly turned sideways and gave way. You're also a battalion commander, are you a ground dragon? Although he wears a military uniform, he is not a small chief. "Hehe, Battalion Commander Lu, Instructor Ma, these are fellow villagers in Yuzhou, I just happened to have time to come over and have a look, I didn't expect to disturb you, please don't care."
"Little Chief, you're welcome! Don't be surprised that we don't entertain well! Instructor Ma was also polite.
This scene made more than a dozen educated young fellows unable to turn around for a while. A little fellow actually came to visit the battalion commander and instructor of the labor field department in person, and he was very polite. What is the strong background of the little fellow?
"Wei Hua, the army is coming, and we don't say hello, we can also express a grand welcome to fulfill the friendship of the landlord!" Battalion Commander Lu is not without blame.
"Battalion Commander Lu, Instructor Ma, I didn't think it through. Just a small ...... Comrade Hong Yan said that he didn't want to alarm you, for fear of affecting your work, so I would not be able to report to you. Chen Weihua first expressed his apology, and then explained that it was indeed from Hong Yan.
