Chapter Twenty-Eight: No More Mystery
The dormitory of the Female Educated Youth University is no longer as shrouded in mystery as it used to be. At that time, the female intellectuals raised their own funds and hung the six large windows with floral curtains, which were tightly blocked. And as soon as it gets dark, the curtain will fall, and only a faint light will flicker inside, as if there is some secret. At this time, the male intellectuals who pass by here almost have to look at it with nostalgia, there is a girlfriend who is in love or the object of pursuit, and they want to know what they are doing behind this mysterious curtain? Wipe your body? Writing love letters? Or let other male intellectuals leave? I can't guess clearly, I can't see through, as if every flower on the curtain of small flowers is a mysterious question mark, and it is a beautiful face of the girl. Mysterious, at the beginning of the entry, the women's dormitory is the most mysterious place for male intellectuals, and it is also the most attractive place. At that time, the company would criticize falling in love and pressing the road at a small meeting, which increased the mystery of the male intellectuals in the dormitory of the female intellectuals. Especially the male intellectuals who have just fallen in love and didn't make an appointment in advance after dinner and want to ask their girlfriends out for a walk, they have to turn back and forth in this female intellectuals dormitory, and there is nothing in their minds, so they want their long-awaited girlfriend to come out to the toilet, or wipe their bodies and pour water, or ...... At this moment, they will be called to stop and quietly go up and say the given location "old place". However, I just couldn't wait for it, and when I couldn't bear it anymore, I had to ask the female intellectuals to "pass the book", some of them came out as soon as they passed it, and some of them replied that they had gone for a walk, so they had to wait and wait in front of the women's dormitory, and they waited until it was very late. Ah, that female intellectuals dormitory, how can the male intellectuals go in and find it without knocking on the door? No, no one went, but no one said they wouldn't go. It's because in the eyes of male intellectuals, in the eyes of these young men who have just left school and are still pure and innocent, it is a mysterious place......
That's really where the female intellectuals themselves are secretly making some mysterious stories. After washing his face and body, he secretly rubbed alabaster and perfume, afraid that people would say that it was a "bourgeois style of life", because he had indeed been criticized for this, secretly looked in the small mirror, and secretly looked at the courtship letter he had just received...... It's mysterious. Now, the veil has been torn off, and the small floral curtains have been replaced, sometimes blocked, not as tight as in the past, a little crack has to be tucked well, and now it is just a pull, maybe a big crack is exposed, and sometimes it is not blocked. Female intellectuals wear pants and bras and begin to wipe their bodies, and occasionally male intellectuals knock on the door and pick up a piece of clothing and put it on their bodies.
The female intellectuals returned from the battle to repair the canal and began to scrub, and the students on duty had poured hot water into everyone's basin as usual.
"Sisters," Yuan Lingmei wrung out the steaming towel, wiped her chest twice, and suddenly patted her back with her hand and said, "You see, my waist is so thick, my shoulders are so wide, and my buttocks have become so big, and I have returned to the city to return to Shanghai, and I don't make people laugh at me when I walk on the roadββ"
Zhu Amei finished wiping her body and was getting dressed, and then said: "Ouch, I also said, I went back to Shanghai during the Spring Festival last year and walked on Nanjing Road, and a woman shouted behind me, 'Fat sister-in-law, how to go to the Bund?' When I looked back, it was a country woman, and I thought she was calling someone else, but when I looked left and right, I saw that there was no such fat sister-in-law, and she shouted at me again, and I realized that she was calling me. I'm fingering her for that, I'm sorry! β
"Hahaha......" Liao Jie said with everyone's laughter, "They all say that there are three treasures in the Northeast - ginseng, mink, and indigo, and one treasure has to be added - the Northeast is rich in big fat sisters-in-law!" β
The female intellectuals laughed out loud, laughing so happily that they washed away the fatigue of the day.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.
"Don't enter, don't enter! Wait a minute......" Yuan Lingmei hurriedly dressed as she issued a warning to the door.
After a moment's pause, the door "bang, bang" again.
"Sisters," Yuan Lingmei ran to the door, leaning against the door, and said while wearing her underwear, "It must be a male compatriot, how about it?" She asked, and she said that there was no more bare chest in the whole dormitory, and said, "I'm going to open the door and let me in!" β
She squeaked open the door, and it was a rare guest who came in. He was rare, almost never to the women's dormitory.
"Yo," Yuan Lingmei was very surprised, and she was not surprised, "Li Jin's military advisor is here, which gust of wind blew you here?" β
"What else can the wind be?" Ma Guangdi's words are high-pitched, but his voice is funny, "It's the east wind that smashes the '***'!" Without this east wind, who would dare to enter your sister-in-law's temple! β
Liao Jie rushed up: "The words are so ugly, how can we say that we are sister-in-law temple, which sister-in-law recruited you, a wild monk?" β
"Hahaha......" There was a burst of laughter, and the dormitory of the female educated youth suddenly became active.
"Hey," Yuan Lingmei asked, "Ma Guangdi, are you here to find Han Qiumei?" β
"Nonsense!" Ma Guangdi's face sank, his mouth pouted, and gave everyone a fake and real face, "We are divorced, the well water does not interfere with the river water, what are you looking for her!" β
He doesn't want people to publicly expose that he and Han Qiumei are fake divorces, he likes people to ask this question, and he is happy to answer like this, so that everyone understands that it is most in line with him. First, it makes people feel that he has a way and an idea to deal with things, and this is another matter of returning to the city, which is enviable; The second is that this thing should not be spread all over the city and take it as true, such a good wife, let alone let others pry it away, even if it makes others worry about it, it is not a taste!
Although Ma Guangdi said this, his eyes searched all over the dormitory, fortunately this was the end of the washing of the female intellectuals, otherwise he would not have been allowed to come in. In this way, there are still a lot of people who wear coats but not shirts, barefoot, and wet hair are common, most of them are round, chubby, and some of their faces are wrinkled. When we moved to the men's dormitory, they said that we were proletarian old men, and this was a room of proletarian old ladies!
Yo, I see, Han Qiumei is sitting in the innermost corner, looking like she has just finished washing and scrubbing and is wearing socks. Ho, this is very good, she washes her feet at home every day, but not every day, she also learns from these Shanghai buddies in the big dormitory, let her learn too, and when she returns to the city, she will be clean and clean like a city person.
"Dad, Dad......" Xiao Huang slid down the big kang and ran over with his hands in his hands.
Yuan Lingmei and Liao Jie intercepted Xiaohuang together. Yuan Lingmei squatted down and hugged his small waist, tilting her head, like an aunt in a nursery school coaxing a child: "Xiaohuang, Auntie has Shanghai toffee, let me ask you, tell me, is your father and your mother a real divorce or a fake divorce?" β
"It's so off!" Ma Guangdi was on fire on the side, and jumped up a few steps, "Xiaohuang, what you said is true, haven't you been together!" β
Xiao Huang stared at the two big eyes, look at this, look at that, I felt so strange, this father is really interesting, and muttered several times, what is a return to the city, a return to the city, and a return to the city? Is it just to go back to grandma's house to live? That's so boring, there are so many children in the kindergarten here, and there are so many good aunts in the big dormitory, giving him all kinds of Shanghai sugar, sour plums, chocolates, as well as Beijing biscuits and preserved fruits...... That's a lot of old age!
Xiao Huang stared at the two big eyes, and somehow it was good.
Liao Jie also urged beside her: "Xiaohuang, Aunt Yuan asked you something, why didn't you say it?" β
"Dad," Xiao Huang was in Yuan Lingmei's arms, looked at Ma Guangdi and asked, "Divorce your mother, why do you sometimes say it's true, and sometimes you say it's false?" β
The female intellectuals laughed "coaxingly".
"Laugh at what! What to laugh at! Ma Guangdi learned the tone of Wang Da stunned back then, "What's so funny, it's fake if you don't go through the formalities when you fight, but now it's true, this is sometimes true, sometimes it's fake!" β
"Let me ask you," Yuan Lingmei and Ma Guangdi called Zhen, "Tell me, what are you here for?" Look at the son? You admit to coming to see your daughter-in-law! β
Ma Guangdi shook his head: "Why do you look like this, you really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, divorced, what else do I come to see?" I'm here today on business to return to the city, so look at people through the cracks in the door, I'm leaving, I'm leaving......" said and turned around to walk out.
"Hey, hey, hey," Yuan Lingmei reached out and grabbed Ma Guangdi, "Don't go, don't go, report if there's any news!" They know that Ma Guangdi has a lot of gossip, and Li Jin has already contacted many educated youths from other places. Liao Jie grabbed one of Ma Guangdi's ears and asked, "The old lady broke the quilt and folded it!" She tugged hard, "Can't you leave?" β
"Spare your life, I said, let go!"
After Yuan Lingmei and Liao Jie let go of their hands, Ma Guangdi suddenly stood up and said with a serious look: "I have two things to do today, one is to report to you a news about the issue of our signed letter......
"What? What's wrong with the signed letter? β
"Wait!"
β¦β¦
The female intellectuals gathered around noisily to listen to Ma Guangdi's report.
"Okay, you guys are quiet," Ma Guangdi jumped onto the big kang and said like a speech, "Beijing attaches special importance to our signed letters, Qin Hongwei sent a letter to Li Jin, and the questions raised by the educated youth in Yunnan and Xinjiang have all attracted the attention of the senior officials, how do you say it......" He took out his small notebook and read it, "Qin Hongwei said, the latest news he just got, the State Council Educated Youth Office held a symposium of the responsible persons of the work of the educated youth in various provinces and cities, and the deputy head of the State Council Educated Youth Leading Group called Gu Xiulian said, Next year, the whole country will hold a conference on the work of educated youth, because there are too many problems of educated youth, and the contradictions are complicated, and it has been held day after day, and it has not been completed for more than 20 days......"
"Oops!" Yuan Lingmei urged, "Say it quickly, what results have you found in the research?" β
"I'm also anxious, listen, I copied it from the letter, and Li Jin is studying it there!" Ma Guangdi continued to read, "Qin Hongwei said that the heads of the provinces in charge of the work of educated youth have argued, and their opinions are not ......."
Liao Jie pointed at Ma Guang and said, "Why are you working so hard, or I'll read it to you, what are you arguing about?" β
"You don't know what I'm writing, don't worry!" Ma Guangdi looked at Xiaoben and said, "There are four issues in the controversy, one is how to evaluate the educated youth going to the mountains and going to the countryside; The second is to expose and criticize the '***' to grasp the key black targets, and find out the rights and wrongs of the line of the educated youth front; Third, why did the intellectual youth go to the mountains and go to the countryside? Is it a lifetime to receive re-education from the poor middle peasants? Or for a while? Is there an expiration date? Why not talk about being re-educated by the working class? Fourth, is it not mentioned that 'taking root in the countryside to carry out revolution'? Is it possible to resettle educated youth across regions......"
The female intellectuals listened and listened, and they were talking about it in a mess. Some people say, no wonder there is a fight and trouble here, not to mention that Li Jin and Yuan Cannon's slogans that take root or not can't figure out who is right and who is wrong, and they can't even figure it out! Some people say that this 're-education' issue is also discussed, and we discussed it not long after we entered the venue, and we have been discussing it until now, and we have not made a name for it......
"Don't make noise, don't make noise," Ma Guangdi continued, "There is another paragraph in Qin Hongwei's letter, saying that it is reliable information, Vice Premier Chen Yonggui said, 'Several of our vice premiers have a headache when they mention this matter, and the work of educated youth is ......very complicated.'"
The female intellectuals were like a group of sparrows chirping, and they started talking again:
"He has a headache, where should we be in pain?"
"It's painful!"
"It's complicated, come up with a solution!"
β¦β¦
"I said Ma Guangdi," Liao Jie asked in a loud voice, "Is this news spread by Qin Hongwei accurate?" β
Ma Guangdi's eyes widened: "Accurate!" Exactly! β
"How do you know accurately? Now the grapevine is the most! You didn't see it, you didn't investigate? β
"What Qin Hongwei said in the letter!" Ma Guangdi was not convinced, "If you don't believe it, I'll get a letter for you!" β
"Accurate!" Xi Chundi, an educated youth in Shanghai, still held an unfinished letter in her hand and said, "My father came to write a letter, and he also said that the situation of this educated youth is very chaotic!" β
Liao Jie asked, "What did your father say?" β
The educated youths all know that Xi Chundi's father is a big official in Shanghai, and he is very decent, and he once came to Xiaoxing'an Farm with the Shanghai condolence group, which left a good impression on the educated youth. Xi Chundi's uncle Xi Dalong came here for the third Spring Festival, and died bravely to protect the sheep and fight with wolves, but Uncle Xi had a very high posture, although he was sad when he came, his words and deeds were admirable. Xi Chundi gave a blood transfusion to Wang Da's stunned wife, and because she was young and frail at the time, she had not recovered well and could return sick, but he kept letting Xi Chundi return from illness through normal channels and seeking truth from facts, just a little eyebrow-raising. As soon as the educated youths heard about Xi Chundi's father's letter, they all wanted to hear it.
"Hey, what do you say?" Liao Jie approached Xi Chundi and asked.
"Look, my father's letter said that the educated youth in Yunnan are making a lot of trouble!" Xi Chundi pointed to a few lines of words and said, "Let the central leaders cut it!" β
Many educated youths shouted: "Give us a recitation, right?" How? β
"Okay," Xi Chundi hesitated, thinking that it was nothing, and unfolded the letter and read it from beginning to end:
Chundi:
Hello!
I've been busy lately and haven't written to you, but I miss you a lot. Your sickness refund will be passed soon, and the relevant authorities will send it to you, since we have a solid reason to return to the city, and you are sick and the farm is well known, there is no need to worry. Especially now, the situation on the educated youth front is complicated, and it can also be said that it is very chaotic. By the way, a few days ago, I went to Beijing to attend a symposium of the responsible persons of the Educated Youth Office, and some people also said that the educated youths of your Xiaoxing'an Farm also signed a petition asking to return to the city and ask for a solution to the problem of the educated youth. At that time, I considered that some of the issues raised in the letter signed by the educated youths in the field were not unreasonable, and that there was a problem of a poor objective environment for the intellectuals to go to a place where the educated youths had laid their foundations on a labor camp to receive "re-education of the poor and middle peasants" and to train and bring up "millions of successors to the revolutionary cause of the proletariat." If the management and education work could not keep up, it would be inevitable that there would be contradictions between the educated youths, between the educated youths and the local leaders, and even mass fights. If such a thing happens, you must think calmly and deal with it carefully. The good thing is that you won't be living there for too long. I believe that you will listen to what I say, and you, including those of you educated youth, are not yet mature, unsafe, and extreme, and often have to fall behind. Compared with some places, it is good that you only sign and write petitions, and do not go on strike or go to Beijing to make trouble. A few days ago, Yunnan educated youths returned to the city, and were stopped and criticized by the old general Wang Zhen, and now I will tell you the situation for you to learn from and restrain yourself, and if necessary, you can also persuade your partners not to blindly go against the will of their superiors.
The reason is as follows: A national conference of educated youths (it is said that it will be held next year to study some controversies and differences on the work of educated youth) proposed that it is necessary to encourage and support the work of educated youths on the farm with peace of mind, and to contribute their own strength to the success of the farm. These statements not only blocked the opening of the return to the city, but also left a special room. However, the city recruited workers from the educated youth, which had a great repercussion over there, and I heard that there was such a sentence: "Cut the queue and cut the queue, the more you insert, the more right; Insert the scene and change the status quo, only petitioning. "This is a question of how to solve the contradiction between the work of the educated youth who cut the queue and go to the farm.
If it is said that the conditions for the educated youths who cut the queue are difficult, the conditions of some farms in Yunnan are not very good, and in addition the poor management ability and level of the cadres, many educated youths have been locked up in trumpets, and many young people have been raped, which is worse than the situation of the educated youths who have cut the queue. All kinds of factors prompted the people to return to the city, most of them were educated youths from Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Kunming, about 90,000 people, just like you said in your letter, and the time for the signatures of the educated youths there was about the same, it was the Shanghai educated youths who took the lead in drafting the "public joint letter to Vice Premier Deng", a total of more than 1,000 signatures, the letter is to reflect the difficulties of the educated youth's life, and ask to return to the city. Some farms in Xishuangbanna are represented on a large scale, unlike yours where there is only a small company (probably influenced by them). They walked to Kunming and went north to petition. More than 30,000 educated youths from the eight farms of Jinghong and Menghai took part in the strike, which paralyzed and disorderly the work in the entire reclamation area. Not only did they go by themselves, but they also contacted educated youths who had returned to Beijing, Chongqing and other places who had not settled down at home to petition together, and did not buy train tickets to get on the train, which affected the punctual departure of a train. After they arrived in Beijing, they posted big-character posters at Tiananmen Square and Xidan Square in Beijing, asking them to return to the city.
In the end, Vice Premier Wang Zhen received them in the office, talked about the international and domestic situation after the smashing of "***", asked them to care about national affairs, criticized them for making trouble, and had a bad impact, and proposed not to retaliate against them, and let them go back and do more self-criticism...... It is necessary to have leadership and democratic centralism. The educated youths nodded their heads and agreed, and also reported that most of the policies on the farm had not been implemented for many years, and that there were some serious problems in the work style of the cadres, and that they hoped that the state would send people to investigate.
In the end, the petitioning educated youth returned to Yunnan and sent a telegram to Vice Premier Wang Zhen, admitting their mistake and saying that as long as the problem was solved, they would build the farm well......
This is probably what I have learned about the situation of educated youths returning to the city, and I am writing to you for your reference, because you wrote to say that you also have educated youths returning to the city. I'm thinking about you and want to go and see it, but I've been too busy with work lately to get there. I believe that you, as a cadre child, will handle these matters properly. If you have something to ask Secretary Xiao for instructions, isn't he very concerned about you? Don't live up to his hopes for you.
Finally, I hope that you and your partners should believe that the central authorities will come up with policies and methods to properly handle the major issue of young intellectuals going to the mountains and going to the countryside, which involves thousands of households in urban and rural areas.

Γ Γ, 197Γ
After hearing this, the female intellectuals twitched their hearts, and the passion that had been restless for a long time in the hearts of the hopeful ones was like being poured with a basin of cold water, what secondary school can return to the city, wait, isn't this going to be cool!
The sound of the discussion is like a boiling pot of water.
"The educated youth who cut the queue can recruit workers, but no one will take care of the farm?" Yuan Lingmei shouted, "This is too unfair? β
Liao Jie's voice was not small: "There is no way to return to the city, some people will stay and go through the back door!" β
"Don't shout!" Zhu Amei thought about it and said, "You have to listen to the sound, didn't Xi Chundi's father say that the contradiction of the educated youth issue is very complicated, and now it can be said that it is very chaotic, isn't it to open the educated youth association to study...... " She found that everyone was quiet, and then said, "Ma Guangdi, I think this letter can be shown to Secretary Xiao, Zheng Fenghua and Captain Zhang, at least they can be inspired in dealing with this group fight, strikes, car interceptions, and petitions in Beijing will make the educated youth do more self-criticism, no retaliation, no accountability...... When Secretary Xiao sent the investigation team, let them take a look! β
Jiang Tingting, who hadn't spoken for a long time, agreed first: "Yes, when the investigation team comes, let's talk about this kind of opinion!" β
"Yes!"
"That's it!"
β¦β¦
"Great!" Ma Guangdi slapped his thigh, "I'll tell Li Jin this opinion when I go back." He continued, "I have a second reason here: Li Jin asked me to give you a notice first, he still has a lot of news and ideas, and he wants to hold a meeting on the issue of returning to the city in a few days, and I hope you will all attend it then." β
"What kind of return to the city?"
"Ouch," Ma Guang scratched his head, "Li Jin said it very clearly, I forgot that word," he thought for a while and said, "What is new, what, what ......"
Han Qiumei said anxiously next to her: "Look, you're so stupid, you can't even remember the name of the meeting!" β
"Can you handle it?" Ma Guangdi is worried that she has not had a chance to talk to her for so long in the girls' dormitory, she probably forgot the three chapters of the law after the divorce, and she is still smiling! He grimaced and ran out as he spoke, "I'll ask, and I'll tell you when I understand!" β
Xiao Huang chased and shouted: "Dad, goodbye, goodbye!" β
"See your mother, I have something big!" Ma Guangdi ran to the door, turned his head and waved his hand, and ran away like a smoke.
