On the evening of the 30th, Yang Jun and his parents watched the lengthy Spring Festival Gala together, and went to his grandmother's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Uncles and aunts gather together, grandchildren chase and fight on the ground, and the three generations are happy together.

Yang Jun found that the elders looked at themselves very differently than before, and seemed to be looking at the future county magistrate, rather than a junior child. Grandma gave Yang Jun far more New Year's money than other grandchildren, a full thousand!

Even about whether the youngest uncle wants to go to the south to work, Lao Yang and Lao Lao Yang want to hear his opinion.

But what can Yang Jun understand? can only be perfunctory two sentences.

On the second day of junior high school, Yang Jun's family took a ferry to the largest island on Chuyang Lake and arrived at his grandparents' house. In the wet and cold winter, uncles, aunts, uncles and other people sat around the fire in the hall and chatted while roasting the fire.

Yang Jun stroked the fluffy Chinese pastoral dog cub beside him, said without a word, took a few oranges and roasted them. A proud rooster tried to snatch the orange from Yang Jun's hand, and Yang Jun blasted it out with a wave of his hand.

At his grandmother's house, Yang Jun also felt a big difference.

During the meal, his grandfather beckoned him to sit at the spacious main table occupied by his uncle, uncle, Lao Yang and others, and the other cousins and aunts, including his mother, were all crowded into a small table to eat.

The cousins and cousins who laughed and played together when they were children saw Yang Jun's eyes already with a little reverence, even a little fear.

They have been living in this village, and they can no longer imagine who they are who can go to the university, and what the future county magistrate will be like.

But Yang Jun knows that he has a relationship with the county magistrate! In the capital Beijing, at the Beijing University of Social Sciences, he is just a first-year super rookie, who doesn't understand anything and is not outstanding.

In conversations with his parents, Yang Jun learned that in last year's floods, Liyang County's economy was hit hard, and people's lives and property suffered serious losses. This is undoubtedly worse for Liyang County's already weak agricultural economy.

The county's finances have fallen into abject poverty, some enterprises and institutions have been unable to pay wages, and many farmers have survived this winter by relying on first-class relief.

After the floods, Liyang County was in shambles. Crops were lost, factories were flooded, houses collapsed, and the bodies of some people were not found after being swept away by the floods.

It is said that at that time, some people who took advantage of the water to rob were killed at the scene, which deterred a group of people who were eager to try, and the order of everyone's work and life remained generally normal.

The superiority of the socialist system has been fully embodied in Liyang County after the flood. With the relief of **, everyone will not starve to death. On the eve of the Spring Festival, Jiang Wenjun's family finally moved from the tent of the flood control levee to the tiled house built with the help of **.

Zhang Hong, the top student in science in the college entrance examination in Liyang County, was admitted to Peking University, and the county education bureau exempted her from the 30 yuan handling fee for receiving the rate collection notice, Peking University reduced her tuition fees, and the company funded her living expenses, so that she was able to enter the highest university in the motherland.

During the winter vacation, H Province TV interviewed her and made a documentary, called "To Zhang Hong's House for the New Year".

On TV, Yang Jun saw Zhang Hong's home for the first time.

It was a crumbling wooden house soaked in the flood, dark and damp, leaky, with four walls, a large cauldron on an earthen stove in the corner, and a few pieces of black bacon hanging from the beams.

Compared with here, Yang Jun's home in the county seat can already be called a mansion, although it is a little older and less than 90 square meters.

After leaving his relatives, Yang Jun began to mingle with his classmates every day, during which he also went to visit Lao Chen, the head teacher of the high school, and at the same time agreed with Xiao Chen on a date to return to Beijing together.

Towards the end of the winter vacation, Jiang Wenjun came to the county seat from the countryside and lived at Yang Jun's house. He is one of the few people who cares about Yang Jun's pimples.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Wenjun asked Yang Jun next to him,

"Really in heat?"

"It should be. What's wrong with this thing, the image is completely ruined, and the pickled girl is even more useless. Yang Jun had a sad face.

"There's nothing I can do, if you don't estrus, it may disappear. I'm also in heat, why isn't it long? Jiang Wenjun is talking about Xiaoling, a female classmate in high school.

"And what are you doing?"

"I don't know, she seems to be like a lagging part with me."

Xiaoling went to Shanghai to study, and it may be difficult for Jiang Wenjun to meet her.

The two chatted a few more words, and Jiang Wenjun fell asleep with Yang Jun in his arms.

Xiao Tong and pimples have become a huge problem for Yang Jun, making his tea and rice not fragrant. He didn't mention Xiao Tong's matter to his parents, and he didn't tell other high school classmates, thinking that it was nothing to mention, and unrequited love was a bit embarrassing.

With the new pimples on his face and wearing brand new clothes, Yang Jun took the train back to Beijing.

On the train, a shocking news was broadcast on the radio, and a great man of a generation, Grandpa Deng, had fallen! This old man, who has been in the past for almost a century, has not been able to witness the return of ** only a few months later—the fruit of his own creation.

Jiang Wenjun felt extremely sad, and he said that thanks to Grandpa Deng, he was able to leave the countryside and be admitted to such a good university. Yang Jun also sighed.

A few days before leaving school, the students brought sausages, watercress, roast chicken and other local specialties from home, and everyone ate a few good meals together, which were quickly consumed.

Yang Jun also lost no time in organizing several games, sometimes playing all night. Is there a freer life in the world?

In order to show that he loves books and is a cultural person, Song Bin borrowed forty or fifty books from the library, sat on a hard seat for more than 30 hours and returned home, and now he is back. How many books can he read during the winter vacation?

Yang Jun laughed secretly in his heart, and he was willing to work hard in order to pretend to be realistic. Of course, this is pretending to be shown to his girlfriend Li Xia, who has reunited, and the naïve Li Xia actually thinks that Xiao Song is really a cultural person.

As the students returned to school one after another, Yang Jun found that the new students' outfits had taken on a new look, and most of the rustic atmosphere had faded, especially the girls, who generally began to use makeup and skin care products. The girls are simply reborn.

At this time, everyone's heart is also very different from before, the transformation is from the surface to the inside, and the process of breaking the cocoon into a butterfly is slowly happening.
