At the dinner table, the atmosphere was low and exceptionally silent.

Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan's eyes collided unexpectedly, Zhong Yuxiu pouted slightly, and motioned for him to open Chrysostom to comfort him; Yan Rushan shook his head helplessly, and his eyes slowed down when he lowered his head.

There was a tacit understanding with each other and they didn't speak, and after dinner, the male intellectuals got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and clean the house; Sun Ruhong and Jiang Mei washed up briefly, and then lay down and didn't move when they returned to the house.

"Sister Ruhong, Sister Jiangmei, get up and talk, it will be uncomfortable to lie down when you come back after eating." Zhong Yuxiu walked to Jiang Mei's bedside.

Jiang Mei raised her eyes and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Let's talk about what I want to do after university, I want to be a great researcher." Go back to your old ways.

"Then you have to work hard, it's not easy to do scientific research."

Sun Ruhong turned her head and looked, "Yuxiu people are smart and have a good brain, and their bodies are strong, as long as Yuxiu is willing to drill, there will definitely be no problem." "The seven people in the Educated Youth Academy reviewed, and they enjoyed the crushing of the IQ of Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan every day, and they were numb.

"yes, I'm smart, I can do it." Zhong Yuxiu's eyebrows were soothing, "What about the two sisters, what is your dream?" ”

"What ....... me" Jiang Mei groaned for a long time, shaking her head under the expectant gaze of the two, "The notice hasn't arrived, who knows what to do in the future." ”

Sun Ruhong lay on the side of the bed and sighed lightly, "Why didn't my parents give me a smart head." ”

"Don't be discouraged! Which of these educated youths did not reach the score line? Brother Yan and I just opened the way first, and your admission letters will arrive sooner or later. ”

No matter how Zhong Yuxiu persuaded and comforted, the two were listless; For them, the things they didn't get were unreal, and under such a negative attitude, the New Year was not good.

After the fifteenth day of the first month, the admission notices of several people have not yet come; Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan had a lot of dreams at night, and ran for three days in the production brigade and the commune, and handled the relocation and food relations.

After another seven days, Sun Ruhong, Jiang Mei, Wang Yishan, Luo Jianmin and Feng Jianjun's admission notices were sent over together, and the five of them cried with joy while holding the admission notices; This notice is their lifeline, they have never thought of getting married in the countryside, no matter how hard it is, they still have the ambition of returning to the city.

Now, it's finally happening.

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on everyone's wishes, and when you go out in the future, you can proudly say that I am a college student, and I am returning to the city."

Yuxiu gave her hands in a strange way, several people laughed, Sun Ruhong raised her hand and smashed her, "Okay, Zhong Yuxiu, we cried with joy and were crooked by you." ”

"Not really!" Jiang Mei wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her chin lightly, and snorted lightly, "Skin." ”

Wang Yishan grinned rarely, obviously very happy in his heart; Luo Jianmin has no image, he is casual, sitting on the ground and laughing at this moment; Feng Jianjun was shy, and he lowered his head and laughed lowly at this moment.

"Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you, look, look, kindness is not rewarded. The index finger tapped, the mouth complained, and the smile was on his face.

Wang Yishan and the others shook their heads and smiled, the anxiety in their hearts dissipated at this moment, and their hearts were empty, as if they saw a better future.

"Come, let's see which major you are and when it will start." Ten years later, for the first college entrance examination, there were more than 5.7 million college entrance examination students, and the acceptance rate was 5 percent. After applying for the volunteer, some people can't squeeze in their scores, and they have to be deployed, so they can only be transferred to other majors.

Wang Yishan smiled lightly: "I am G Provincial Business School, Electronic Applications, February 28"

Feng Jianjun: "Finance of Provincial University C, February 27. ”

"I, it's my turn, I'm TJ Normal University, February 16." Luo Jianmin couldn't wait to speak.

None of the three of them applied for the major, and then the result of the deployment; Let's look at Sun Ruhong's clinical studies at Beijing Medical College, February 5; Jiang Mei went to the Department of Journalism and Media of Beijing University of Media and Communication to open on February 8; These two were also deployed later.

"Anyway, we all got into college." Being able to get out of the tiresome production brigade, Luo Jianmin was very relieved, "I will go to the production brigade and the commune immediately and open the proof." ”

Once there is an admission letter, the educated youth can go at any time after completing the formalities.

After the educated youth went to the countryside, they found that the gap between imagination and reality was indispensable in a strange place; It is even more common for people in the production brigade to bully educated youths in trivial matters, and the most unwillingly thing is that the work of educated youths is not the same as that of the members of the production brigade, and there will always be leaks.

The Yu family's production brigade is not bad, at least they don't bully them in terms of work; However, when I came to a strange place, the people in the brigade were xenophobic, and they did not sincerely accept the educated youth, and they always got along with each other, which was embarrassing.

"I'll go too."

"Wait for me."

One person said to go, and the others followed, leaving Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan alone in the Educated Youth Academy.

"When is Brother Yan going to return to Beijing?"

"What about you?" Yan Rushan did not answer the rhetorical question.

Zhong Yuxiu's eyes smiled, "Today is the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, and there are eleven days before the start of school, and I am ready to leave the day after tomorrow." "I have to settle down when I go to Beijing, and she doesn't want to live in school.

"I'll go with you, along the way." Strict as the mountain, the wind is light.

"Then go together, and have company; But you have to buy a train ticket first, it's not easy to buy at this time. "Even though only 5 percent of college students are admitted, there are many educated youths who return to the city.

Yan Rushan bowed slightly, "I'll go to the county seat now." ”

"Okay, I'll go get the money." turned around and went back to the room and took thirty dollars from the space; Zhong Yuxiu turned around and handed him the money, "I'm sorry for you, Brother Yan." ”

"It's a good thing." After receiving the money, Yan Rushan left quickly.

watched Yan Rushan's figure disappear outside the courtyard gate, closed the courtyard door and went to the mountain; Regardless of whether you can buy a train ticket or not, you have to leave the day after tomorrow, and it is a big deal to find a chance to buy a ticket when you get on the train. The days of the Yujia production brigade are only today and tomorrow, and it is necessary to go to the mountains.

The climate in the deep mountains is warm, and there are many small prey such as pheasants and hares; Let go of her hands and feet, but in just half an hour, Zhong Yuxiu caught twenty-three hares and eighteen pheasants, broke their necks and threw them into the storage ring.

Walking in the deep mountains, the big prey did not meet, before going down the mountain, he caught three hares and went down the mountain, and each of the hares was five catties up; The pheasant only looks like two or three pounds.

When they returned to the Educated Youth Academy, the three hares were placed on the ground, and they found the half-human tall back basket used in the stove room, and found a piece of cloth full of patches to cover the back basket; Only then did he carry out the production brigade, go to the outside of the county, find a hidden place, take out the game in the storage ring, and pile up a basket full of pheasants and hares. Cover it with a tattered cloth and carry it on your back and continue to walk towards the county seat.

When she entered the county seat, she found that she didn't know where to go; You can only stretch your mental power and use your mental power to find the location of the black market. Not to mention, after looking for more than ten minutes, she really found it, the location of the black market is remote and difficult to find, and you may not be able to find it for the first time.

Zhong Yuxiu tightened the rope on her back, walked through the dark alley, and bypassed the two alleys; Suddenly there was a bright light and a trickle of water.

The black market is on the back of a house by the river in the county seat, and people who set up stalls to sell things are lined up under the eaves; Whether it's bought or sold, because I don't want people to know their identity, they dress a little strangely, either covering their heads, or wearing a straw hat with their heads down, in short, everything is faceless.

Zhong Yuxiu secretly made a mistake, she showed her face; After looking at it secretly for a moment, he retreated to the alley he had walked before, covered it with the rags on his back basket, took out a turban from the storage ring, surrounded the entire head and the lower half of his face, and re-picked up the back basket and stepped into the black market.

Walking down the narrow aisle, there are constantly people looking at the back basket.

Find an open space to put down the basket and uncover the rags; The already narrow place was surrounded by water in an instant, and even so, no one shouted, only those eager and excited eyes made people understand how much they longed for the arrival of meat.

Zhong Yuxiu lowered her voice, "The pheasant is a catty, the hare is a catty, the hare is a catty, I don't weigh it, I estimate the weight of the touch; Don't accept bargaining, you can not buy if you're afraid of losing money, and you can choose your own if you're not afraid of losing money. ”
