The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and the educated youth are facing it, but the spring plug is busy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are six male intellectuals who are plowsmen, the others are responsible for picking seedlings, and the female intellectuals and the women sent by Tanaka to support the spring planting are responsible for the rice planting work.

At that time, there was no popularization of the method of pulling seedlings, shoveling seedlings became a technical work, shoveling thick, a load of seedlings did not have more than 10 billets, but there were more than 100 catties, heavy to crush people, shoveled thin, even the roots of seedlings were broken, could not survive, shoveled the seedlings long, the left hand could not support, the shovel seedlings were short, there were not a few seedlings, affecting the progress of transplanting.

At the beginning, Ai Liang brought a few rice shoveling masters in the valley to demonstrate, Liu Gang, Cao Jian, Zhang Shaoqiang, Wu Wenhao and other six young people were responsible for raking the field, Li Keyuan, Zhao Xiangming, He Guoliang and other ten male young people could only be responsible for picking seedlings.

Among the educated youth, even He Guoliang is the youngest, and he is also thin, a load of hundreds of pounds of seedlings, he just can't pick it up, Ai Liang saw it, and hurriedly said: "You bend down first, grab the flat pole with your right hand, support your left knee with your left hand, and push it up hard, you can pick up the seedlings, and when you straighten your waist, you can move forward!" ”

He did as Ai Liang instructed, and really stood up and staggered forward, but walking on the ridge was like walking on thin ice, not only the road was small, but also stained with mud, slippery, carelessly, the whole person even fell to the ground, two baskets of seedlings stuck in the mud, how can not be picked up.

Liu Gang let the cattle at this time, because he couldn't rake the field too much, he couldn't plant the seedlings in one day, and he had to plow and rake again the next day, which was labor-intensive, time-consuming and laborious, and the cattle couldn't stand it, and the gains outweighed the losses!

He saw He Guoliang falling all over in mud, and even his clothes were soaked, and said with concern: "You hurry up and go back and take a hot shower, change your dirty clothes, the spring is warm and cold, and it is easy to catch a cold!" ”

"Squad leader! I'm really useless, even carrying the seedlings, I'm stumbling, a waste! He Guoliang said guiltily.

Liu Gang encouraged: "Guoliang! Don't be discouraged, a small setback is equal to encouragement, persevere in refining yourself, and you will come! ”

"Thank you, squad leader, I'll come back when I've changed my clothes!" He Guoliang said.

Liu Gang praised: "You are good, I also believe that you can do it!" ”

He was also a very strong young man, in the city, his father was the director of the neighborhood office, and his mother was a worker in the neighborhood office leather shoe factory.

On the opposite side of his house, there is also a family of three, the couple and his mother are in the same factory, and the daughter is called Wang Min, two years younger than him, both are only children, since elementary school, the two are classmates, and their academic performance has always been excellent.

The two families get along very well, from the sewing machine to the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, almost all of them are shared, some people say hello at home, and no one borrows it first and then returns it when no one is at home, so good that it is like a family.

Usually, Wang Min often brings his homework book to Liu Gang's house to do, because his hall is large and bright, and he doesn't need to turn on the lights during the day, and two people can use the same fluorescent lamp at night, which can save electricity bills.

Two young people often get together, discuss learning problems, understand each other, and have the same interests, especially later, slowly have feelings, the two families see in their eyes, joy in their hearts, and also acquiesce in this family business, but they haven't said it yet, but it is tacit.

After being admitted to high school, Liu Gang and Wang Min were still at the same level and in the same class, and they were in and out of pairs, which attracted the envy of many classmates.

After graduation, the state called on intellectual young people to go to the mountains and countryside, Wang Min's mother retired due to illness due to poor health, and she replaced her mother into the shoe factory and became a worker.

But Liu Gang's parents had a dispute over this matter, and his mother said: "I told the factory director, now the factory is recruiting contract workers, and we Liu Gang will work in the factory for three or two years, and I will apply for retirement and let Liu Gang take over, so that I can hold a wedding for the two of them in the same factory as Jiang Min, and after the work is stable!" ”

"If the factory director didn't look at my face, could he let our sons enter the factory? I don't want to go through this back door and tell the truth, what I mean is to let Liu Gang respond to the call of the country, go to the countryside to refine and refine, and when you retire, come back to your class! ”

Liu Gang's father said.

As the saying goes: A son is a piece of meat that falls from his mother's body, a baby in his heart!

When Liu Gang's mother heard this, she stopped doing it and objected: "Your son is the only seedling in our family, so you are willing to let him suffer in the poor ravine, be bitten by mosquitoes, and be bitten by insects?" In case the top shift system is abolished in the future, and you can't go back to the city, you will have to live in the countryside for the rest of your life! ”

"A good man has ambitions in all directions, if he is a promising person, he will make a lot of achievements there!" Liu Gang's father said.

In fact, Liu Gang's father, Liu Weihan, is also a young man in a remote mountainous area, and later signed up to join the army, and received many meritorious service awards, from a soldier to a squad leader, from a squad leader to a platoon commander, and later was promoted to a company commander.

Liu Gang's personality is like his father, dare to think and do, and act decisively, he said resolutely: "What Dad said is reasonable, if it is gold, it will always shine, I am willing to go to the countryside to temper myself and be a knowledgeable and educated socialist successor!" ”

"The two fathers and sons are both burdens, you can do whatever you want, and I don't bother to worry about this idleness!" Under the powerful political offensive of her father, her mother finally compromised.

The day before going to the countryside, Liu Gang asked Wang Min to go to People's Park and told her his thoughts, Wang Min also agreed, and said: "We are still young, it is also a good thing for men to go out and break through and suffer a little, so that they can temper their will, but I have already taken over the shift, and my mother is weak and sick, and needs to be taken care of, otherwise, I will follow you to the countryside!" ”

"My mother's health is not good, but she always holds on, so I have to ask you!" Liu Gang said sincerely.

Jiang Min said: "What is the relationship between the two of us? Your mother is my mother, do you still need to be so polite? ”

Liu Gang found that he had lost his mind, and he had only been separated for more than ten days, so he couldn't think about her all the time! Otherwise, it will sound the work, and when I think about it, I pick up He Guoliang's load of seedlings, walk along the ridge, and go straight to the field where the seedlings have not been planted.

With Wang Min taking care of his mother, there will be no worries, he can throw off his arms and do a big job, and when he has time to return to the provincial capital, he will mention the matter of marriage, but by then, the couple will have to take care of the four old people.
