Late at night, there were no fireworks or firecrackers on the kang, and each family sat on their own kang to keep vigil, and when they were sleepy, they went to sleep.

"The boss, do you really want the second child to resign?" Jiang Hongguo couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and his mind was full of the words that were talked about at the dinner table during the day.

Wang Chong looked sideways at Jiang Hongguo and asked, "What is the difference between Ma Renli and Niu Daring?" ”

"Ma Renli is smart, has many ideas, and has many ideas, Niu is bold and persevering, can endure hardships, and is bold."

"There are a lot of smart people in Maixiang Village, but have you ever seen anyone like Ma Renli who can talk to me, design reservoirs and irrigation systems together, and speculate the weather through observation?"

Jiang Hongguo somewhat understood.

"Don't forget, if our son can be admitted to college, he will be assigned a job after graduation, and the better the university he is admitted to, the better the assigned job."

Jiang Hongguo's eyes were slightly condensed, and he was already a little moved.

"The work of the commune is not easy to do, our son is still young and inexperienced, when they went to the commune, weren't we worried that they would be led crooked by Zhang Defu and Han Meili!"

Jiang Hongguo sighed, fortunately, the eldest and second children were taught well by Wang Chong, and the three views have always been very positive.

"But now it's different, if the eldest and second can be admitted to the university, they have the opportunity to go outside to see a broader world, and when they have a degree, their future will be completely different, they don't have to be like us, they will stay in this acre and three points of land for the rest of their lives."

"Now that the college entrance examination has been restored and the policy is good, I believe that in a few years, the country will enter a stage of rapid development, the college entrance examination has been stopped for more than ten years, and there is a lack of young talents in all walks of life."

"Science and technology is the right way to improve productivity, what our son is capable of, you and I have a good idea, and when the time comes, there will be a place for them to show their strength."

"You are in charge, I will listen to you!" In fact, even if Wang Chong does not explain, Jiang Hongguo will not go against Wang Chong's wishes, in the eyes of a traditional rural woman like Jiang Hongguo, before marriage, her father is her own sky, and after marriage, her husband is her own sky.

Time passed, Zi'an really quit his job in the commune, concentrated on reading and reviewing at home, and did a special topic given to him by Wang Chong.

Ziping was a little hesitant at first, but seeing that his younger brother was studying at home, staying in the commune by himself, it was not a good feeling to be left and right, and after four or five days of entanglement, he also chose to quit his job in the commune and go home to study and prepare for the exam with his younger brother.

Seeing that the two sons had made a choice, and the time was still early, and the spring had not yet begun, Wang Chong personally produced more than a dozen sets of rolls for the two sons to practice and consolidate.

Although she is young, she is also very enthusiastic about learning, but unlike her two older brothers who specialize in science and engineering, she is not very interested in science and engineering, but she is very fond of ancient literature.

In particular, Wang Chong borrowed from Lao Dai's teaching method, and the little girl who was already advocating romance was almost lame, and in addition to memorizing medical books and identifying herbs all day long, he read poetry and practiced writing.

After Wang Zhong said: Only by reading history can you have a sense of immersion, and he also showed an extremely strong interest in history.

Old Ma's house.

Yang Deng'er, who was playing a sweater, said to Ma Renli next to him: "Have you heard, the eldest and second eldest of the Wang family quit their jobs in the commune and went home to study!" ”

Since Yang Deng'er married Ma Renli, Ma Renli has hardly been worried about the housework at home, and he is willing to cook, take care of the children, and work in the fields.

Ma Renli was holding a book in his hand and looking at it, and when he heard this, he was very surprised: "Resigned from your job?" ”

"Just the past few days, now the brothers are hiding in the house every day to study!" Yang Deng'er said.

"Is it for the college entrance examination?" Ma Renli frowned slightly, and immediately had a guess.

"College entrance exam?" Yang Deng'er said suspiciously: "Haven't all the college entrance examinations been canceled?" ”

Ma Renli shook his head and pondered: "Who is Wang Chong, let alone our Mai Xiangling, even when I was in Beiping, I have never seen anyone more powerful than him, and his vision of things has always been accurate." ”

"That's right!" Yang Deng'er nodded, and the movement of hitting the sweater in his hand slowed down: "The big insect is really powerful." ”

"Is the college entrance examination going to be resumed?" Ma Renli sat up suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened, his pupils shrunk, and he muttered: "Is it really going to resume the college entrance examination?" ”

Yang Deng'er was also very surprised.

"Horse Commune! Yang Jianguo! Suddenly a familiar shout came from outside the courtyard.

"Uncle, aunt!" The prince is still very well-behaved in front of the elders, just like the little fox with a little lamb's skin on his body.

"Zijin, it's cold outside, come in and sit!"

"Uncle, what about Ma Commune and Yang Jianguo?" Wang Ziyan wore a hat and gloves, and a scarf around her neck, and she wore it tightly, only a delicate little round face with white and red was exposed, which looked very cute.

"At their grandfather's house!"

"Zijin, uncle asks you something!" The two beckoned the prince to sit on the kang, and Ma Renli asked the two brothers of the Wang family about resigning and going home to study.

"That's the matter, my father said that the college entrance examination may be resumed soon, let my brother and them concentrate on studying and get into a good university!"

"Is that really what your dad said?" The amount of information is really huge, and Ma Renli suddenly couldn't believe it.

"Then there can be a fake!" Wang Ziyan said: "My eldest brother and second brother even quit their job in the commune, and now they are studying at home every day and doing questions." ”

"What about you? Are you not allowed to prepare for college? Yang Deng'er asked.

"Test! But I'm not like the eldest brother and the second brother, one of them wants to take the Mizuki exam, and the other wants to take the Yan University exam, so they must study hard to prepare for the exam. The prince said with a smile.

"Tsubame and Mizuki?" Ma Renli couldn't help but change color: "Those are the top two universities in our country!" ”

"My father said that even if this person has ideals, it doesn't matter if he can pass the test or not, the important thing is whether he has worked hard for it." As soon as these words came out, Wang Ziyan's face changed, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.

I can't help but ask myself secretly in my heart: Have you also worked hard for your ideals?

"Uncle, aunt, I have something to do, so I'll go home first!" As soon as the words fell, Wang Ziyan ran out.

The weather is cold, the snow has not melted, the world is still a vast place, and the villagers have spontaneously cleaned the roads and snow in the village every day.

Hunting in the cold wind, Wang Ziyan ran dozens of steps, his speed gradually slowed down, and Wang Ziyan's thoughts gradually drifted away.

On the other side, Wang Zhong found Niu Daring.

"Check it out!" Wang Zhong handed the letter in his hand to Niu Daring.

"Letter?" Niu boldly looked at the envelope suspiciously: "For Qiao Yue?" ”

"Yes, the one for your family Qiao Yue was sent from the ugly country."

"What?" Niu Daring was surprised, and then quickly opened the envelope and pulled out the letter inside, but unfortunately Niu Dadao didn't know a basket of words, so he could only hand the letter to Wang Chong.

"Secretary Wan Chun and I have read it, after all, it was a letter sent by Chouguo, and it was sent back by Qiao Yue's uncle."

"Qiao Yue's uncle?" Although Niu Daring is not very literate, he also knows some: "Isn't she just an uncle?" ”

"That's right, it was Qiao Yue's uncle who wrote the letter, the one she said at the beginning that she was captured and died on the battlefield."

"So her uncle not only didn't die at the beginning, but also went to the ugly country?" Niu Daring said as he stuffed the letter back into the envelope.

"Isn't it all clearly written in the letter, but your Qiao Yue has always been restless, if she sees this letter, she will have the idea of going to the ugly country to join her uncle, whether this letter is given to her or not, you make your own decision."

Hearing this, Niu nodded boldly and solemnly, "I will seriously consider it." ”

"One more thing!" Wang Chong suddenly lowered his voice, looked left and right vigilantly, and then approached Niu boldly and said, "It has something to do with Zhang Defu." ”

"Humph!" As soon as Niu Daring heard this, he immediately became angry: "What's wrong with this-stirring stick?" ”

"I don't mean that, I mean, it's not a problem that we've been passive all the time."

"Hey!" Niu boldly wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, they all turned into a sigh, and said helplessly: "We all know the truth, but what can we do?" ”

"The solution was figured out by man!" Wang Zhong looked at the cow and said boldly.

"These things, those things that Zhang Defu did, we all see it in our eyes, everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, and now he is pushing everything on Han Meili and them, but he has nothing to do, is this in the past?"

"What do you mean?" Niu looked at Wang Zhong boldly and puzzled.

"Let's give him a trick to get paid." Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Niu boldly said: "Draw salary from the bottom of the kettle? What is the bottom of the kettle method? ”

Wang Chongdao: "This matter can't be done by the two of us alone, we have to find someone!" ”

Niu boldly said: "Who? ”

Wang Chong smiled: "Of course you are looking for someone who can speak?" ”

"Secretary Zhou?" Niu said boldly.

"It's hard to find Secretary Zhou for this matter!" Wang Chongdao.

Niu boldly said: "Then who else can we find?" Except for Secretary Zhou, we don't know anyone else, so we can't go to Wang Wanchun! ”

"We don't know each other, someone does!" Wang Chongdao: "Have you forgotten that there were big people in our village at the beginning!" ”

Niu Daring was stunned for a moment, recalled for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh suddenly, his face full of surprise: "That's right!" How did I forget this! ”

Wang Chongdao: "I went to the province to inquire, and the person is still in the provincial capital, and I also inquired about the residence." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up." Since the establishment of Maixiang Village, there has never been such a big person, not to mention that Niu is bold, which is not fresh in the memory of the village.

Wang Chong shook his head and said, "Now is not the time, and this matter must be agreed by Ma Renli, and he will come forward in person." ”

Niu boldly said: "Isn't Ma Renli always listening to you the most!" ”

"It's too big! It's not like it used to be. Wang Chong shook his head and said, "If you want Ma Renli to agree, we have to think of a way to take our time." ”

"Do whatever you say, I'll listen to you!" Niu Daring knew that he was far inferior to Wang Zhong in the matter of making up his mind, and he was responsible for charging into battle.

I have to say, this is also a kind of cleverness.

Although Niu Daring has a lot of shortcomings, he also has a lot of advantages, no one is perfect, compared to those shortcomings, many of Niu Daring's advantages are not available to other members of the Maixiang Brigade.

"It's not something that can be done in a while, and it's not the time yet, and now we have more important things to do."

"More important things?" If this is Ma Renli, he can guess Wang Chong's intentions without two sentences, but unfortunately Niu Daring's brain is indeed not enough.

"Our oil mills, fish ponds, and pig farms have to be reopened!" Wang Chongdao.

Niu Bold eyes flashed slightly, his face was already a little moved, and he was a little hesitant: "Didn't Zhang Defu not let us build an oil mill and a fish pond pig farm?" ”

"That was before!" Wang Chongdao: "Now the policy has begun to change. ”

"Besides, our oil mills, fish ponds and pig farms are all collective property, not private, so we are contributing to the collective and the country.

We are just the workers in the factories in the city, so that the villagers can earn a wage, and we don't take a penny from the collective in vain, it is only good for the collective and the country, there is no harm, and we do not violate the law and discipline.

Moreover, when the collective has money, we can also buy oil presses, tractors and seeders for cultivated land, and realize the mechanization and modernization of agriculture, and then the productivity of our brigade will not just be as simple as multiplying! ”

"Once the productivity goes up, we can not only turn over all the abandoned land over the years and replant it, but also open up a lot of cultivated land, and when we are collectively rich, our labor will be more valuable, and the villagers will get more food and money at that time."

"It's done!" Listening to Wang Chong's 'flickering' words, Niu boldly made a decision as soon as he gritted his teeth: "I'll go to someone tomorrow, no, I'll go find someone right away, and from tomorrow, we'll do it." ”

"The head fell off and the bowl has a big scar, we have lived a hard life for most of our lives, and we can't let our sons and grandchildren live with us, it's a big deal that all my blood has poured on our old land."

"It's not so exaggerated, it's not so anxious, it's not spring yet, and besides, we don't have peanuts and soybeans in our warehouse!" The oil mill will be released for the time being, and we will discuss the matter of the pig farm with Renlian. Wang Zhong said.

Ma Renlian is the only veterinarian in the village, and he also has some research on breeding livestock.

"Now we can do it, that is, the fish pond, after the beginning of spring, you take people to the reservoir to catch some fish and come back, no matter how big or small, all of them are thrown into our fish pond to raise."

"No problem." Niu said boldly.

Wang Chongdao: "In a few days, I will go to the provincial capital, get some peanut and soybean seeds, and inquire about the machine." ”

"One more point, don't hide this matter, we don't do anything unseemly, just do it openly, Zhang Defu If they come down to ask, just tell the truth, we are fishing for the collective, not for individuals, and we haven't used it for resale, no one can find fault with us."

"Good! I listen to you! ”

Wang Chong has been thinking about these things for a long time, and Wang Chong is not sure how much resistance there will be to doing these things in the name of the collective, after all, if you only watch it from the TV series, Zhang Defu's virtue is really flattering.

Just look at his performance over the years, he hasn't done anything serious, he has tormented the villagers, and he has blocked the big guys, as if he can't see the villagers living a good life.

"There's another thing, I estimate that the college entrance examination will be resumed in the next two years, your dog is not good at reading, you talk to him about this, let him review more recently."

Playing cattle boldly came out of the house, Wang Chong did not go home, but went straight up the back mountain, walked straight to the mountain, walked to the top of the mountain, looked at the villages under the mountain, looked at the surrounding mountains and fields, and the undulating mountains, Wang Chong couldn't help but look up at the sky and sigh.

The trend of the times is indeed beyond the power of manpower.

Looking at the lights of thousands of homes under the mountain, Wang Chong's face showed a smile.

Wang Chong suddenly understood Ma Renli a little.

Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill, lurking minions to endure.

It's just that when the flowers bloom again, no one is young, and for others, time is like the surging water in the Maixiang River, which flows into the Yellow River, all the way east to the sea, and never returns.
