After Mingke talked with the village party secretary, they not only ate together at Mrs. Wang's house, but also began to go to the ground together.

Because he is now recognized as capable, he brings back some mountain goods and meat from time to time, and Mrs. Wang doesn't ask much, but only praises him vigorously.

Mingke even once went into the city with Amy, and took the mountain goods in his hand to the compound to exchange for food and money.

Seeing that there were more and more things in his room, Amy silently thought of her own supermarket, and suddenly felt that she seemed to be a little too Buddha.

So, when she went to the city later, she also began to return to her old business, and went to save some money and tickets to come back.

While the two of them were busy making money, the educated youths in the village and the unconvinced young people participated in the selection examination organized by the propaganda team.

Because the letter of commendation from the province had nothing to do with this selection, everyone was relieved, and one by one they were ready to join the propaganda team.

However, before the exam, Yu Tongtong read a reply letter from the city to everyone.

"The application that was called to select people was approved, but it required a three-month probation period.

That is to say, in these three months, the food relationship of the selected people is still in Mao'er Village, and the upper authorities will not pay salaries, but they will eat and live.

If anything happens during these three months, I have the right to disqualify you. ”

On the newly arrived letter, it was clearly written that this selection was due to the lack of people in the propaganda team, and it was borrowed from Mao'er Village.

However, Yu Tongtong knows that other educated youths and people in the village also understand that they are borrowing it now, but they will not allow people to enter the city casually tomorrow.

But as long as you can be selected, you can naturally stay if you do a good job.

When the time comes, there will be a food relationship in the city, and there will be the work of the propaganda team, that is, the serious city people.

This is a huge temptation for everyone, so when it comes to the exam, no one who registers is absent.

The examination room was personally supervised by several comrades of the propaganda team, and it was particularly strict, and when they encountered a few people who wanted to cheat with small notes, they did not hesitate to drive people out.

A few villagers wanted to make trouble, but they were directly escorted to the village party secretary by the male comrades of the propaganda team.

They were well educated by the village party secretary, and finally Ansheng didn't dare to make any more fuss about saying that they didn't cheat, so they hid back home with their tails between their legs.

The exam lasts for half an hour, because everyone doesn't have that much time to delay.

Although there were many people who came to take the exam, most of them didn't answer the questions at all with the papers, so they were graded quickly.

In the afternoon of the same day, Amy saw everyone's grades written in the classroom, with several zeros hanging on them.

She doesn't care about other people's grades, and she came here today mainly to see how Niuniu did in the exam.

To Amy's surprise, Niuniu actually took the second place in the exam, and only one word was written incorrectly and one point was deducted.

And the first place is Zhou Yize.

This time, because the village party secretary specially sent someone to keep an eye on it, the educated youths were not very happy and did not dare to make trouble again.

So, Yu Tongtong happily announced in front of everyone, "From today on, Comrade Zhou Yize is a member of our propaganda team, and you are welcome to join." ”

She was generous in front of everyone, and she spoke like a yellow warbler out of the valley, which was very beautiful.

Amy felt that several male intellectuals were blushing, and Yan Xiaoxi was so angry that she almost had a seizure in front of so many people.

Seeing this, Liu Jianfang couldn't help but stab, "This shouldn't be a leak, Niuniu is only so old, how can she do so well in the exam?" ”

But unlike usual, except for a few unwilling, no one echoed her.

The aunt who was still watching the excitement mocked, "If you don't study well, you feel that others are as bad as you, and other Niuniu answered all the questions of the comrades of the propaganda team in class before, how can it be cheating?" ”

"Oh, I just look down on our villagers, educated youth should do well in the exam, and we are cheating if we do well in the exam."

"That's it, the captain hasn't spoken yet, you have a lot to do, why don't you go and be the boss if you have this ability?"

Liu Jianfang was so red-faced that he didn't dare to speak out.

She was also angry, for fear that Zhou Yize would not come back if she followed Yu Tongtong like this, so she forgot that Niuniu was from the village.

And Mao'er Village is no matter how unhappy it is on weekdays, and when facing their educated youth, they will always protect their village.

After Liu Jianfang shut up, no one jumped out and continued to blush, so Zhou Yize was borrowed by the propaganda team.

Coming out of the small classroom, Yan Xiaoxi followed Zhou Yize all the way, and when she arrived at the door, Zhou Yize found that her eyes were red like rabbits.

"What's wrong, did something happen?"

Yan Xiaoxi sniffed and replied sullenly, "Do you really want to go with Yu Tongtong and them?" ”

When Zhou Yize heard this, he immediately laughed.

"So you didn't talk all the way, you were thinking about it. Didn't Captain Yu say that they borrowed it in the village because they didn't have enough manpower, and I just went to help it temporarily. ”

Yu Tongtong did say this to him, but Yan Xiaoxi knew Yu Tongtong's thoughts about Zhou Yize, so of course he wouldn't believe it.

So she wrung her hands and muttered, "Who knows." You've always been so capable, and you're sure to do a good job, and maybe they'll have to keep you in the propaganda team......

"Don't you want me to stay there?"

Zhou Yize has always been a person who wants to get things done.

He knew that going to the propaganda team was a great opportunity and wanted to work out, so it was better to really stay there.

Although he is now the leader of the educated youth team, and everything in the village has become better and better, he still knows very well that it is not possible to continue like this.

He never thought that he would really stay in Mao'er Village for the rest of his life and not go out.

These are Zhou Yize's ambitions, and they are also the expectations for the future that all boys of this age have.

However, Yan Xiaoxi didn't understand.

In her opinion, if Zhou Yize really went, he would forget her after a long time.

And not to mention how many better girls he will meet after he goes, just say that Yu Tongtong is enough to make her afraid.

Yu Tongtong has a good appearance and family background, even she feels that she can't compare to others anywhere.

It's just that just as Yan Xiaoxi didn't understand Zhou Yize's ambitions, Zhou Yize didn't understand why Yan Xiaoxi was unwilling to let him seize such a good opportunity.

He stopped and looked earnestly at the young girl.

"Don't you want us to have a better life in the future?"

Although Zhou Yize and Yan Xiaoxi have not completely clarified their relationship now, they are indeed closer than before.

In his heart, he had already acquiesced to the fact that two people were dealing with each other.

Therefore, Zhou Yize hopes that he can go to the propaganda team.

As a man, he doesn't want the two of them to really be together in the future, and he has to rely on Yan Xiaoxi's family everywhere.

He hopes that he can be able to support his family and make a good life for his family.

Zhou Yize has always thought so, otherwise he would not have given up the opportunity to go to the countryside by himself in order to save his sister from suffering.

"I ...... I didn't mean that......"

Since Yu Tongtong came, Yan Xiaoxi has been deliberately correcting her accent, unwilling to act like a rustic hillbilly in front of Yu Tongtong.

So, every time she said "I", she would pause and change it to "I".

"Aze, I just can't bear you. The propaganda team is now walking around the townships, and they may meet those who are unreasonable, and I am afraid that you will suffer. ”

Yan Xiaoxi said it sincerely, and the lines on Zhou Yize's face softened.

"Don't worry, I've thought about all of this. But I was originally an educated youth, and it is my honor to serve the people, so I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness.

On the contrary, you, when I am not in the village, there is no one to help you with many things, and I am afraid that you will be tired. ”

He had never said such intimate words, but another comrade of the educated youth told him that he should care more about other people when dealing with them.

Zhou Yize has always been a straight man, and he feels embarrassed to say this at this time.

Yan Xiaoxi's eyes flashed straight at these words, and her face was full of happy and sweet smiles.

But at the same time, she also knew that Zhou Yize had said so, so he must have to follow the propaganda team.

The two of them just stood at the door and said a lot of words, and Yan Xiaoxi also tried to persuade Zhou Yize to give up, but to no avail.

She had no choice but to avoid the topic and intimately help him pack up his things.

The day of the propaganda team's departure was set for the next day, Yan Xiaoxi should have asked Zhou Yize to rest early and hurry tomorrow, but this night, on the grounds of reluctance, he pulled him for a long time.

She thought that if Zhou Yize slept late today and didn't catch up tomorrow, maybe she wouldn't have to go to the propaganda team.

But early the next morning, Zhou Yize didn't oversleep, but she stayed up all night and couldn't hold on, and when she woke up, the village party secretary told her that the propaganda team had left.

She hurriedly chased after her and ran all the way to the entrance of the village, but she didn't even see the shadow of the propaganda team, and obviously had gone far.

Seeing her like this, the village party secretary couldn't bear it, so he reminded, "Don't worry, they will go to the brigade next door, maybe Xiao Zhou's child will come back to live in the evening." ”

Zhou Yize has always been afraid of causing trouble to others, and the brigade next door is not far away, so it is very likely that he will choose to go back to the village to live.

Yan Xiaoxi also thought so, and the discomfort in his heart immediately decreased, and he returned home to pick up farm tools and continue to work.

In the afternoon, she got out of the party early and specially made some cakes with white flour for Zhou Yize to prepare.

The people in the team next door are too bad and have a bad temper, and they are not reasonable at all, and Zhou Yize will definitely not like it when he sees it.

When he comes back, he finds that there is good food and drink, and he can still be comfortable, so he will no longer follow the propaganda team everywhere to get angry.

Yan Xiaoxi thought about these happily, and the cakes she made looked more delicate than usual.

However, until dark, Zhou Yize was not seen in Mao'er Village.
