Chapter 227: Those Years in the Great Northern Wilderness (63)

Xie Ziyuan ran behind the carriage with sweat all over his forehead. When they arrived at the educated youth point, everyone had already allocated the beds, leaving him a spot in the corner.

A male educated youth from Shanghai wearing glasses enthusiastically gave him a glass of boiled water. He was the team leader in charge of the male educated youth, Lin Honghui.

He kindly reminded, "Stay away from the Li family, they are a bad family."

I don't know which word irritated Xie Ziyuan. He suddenly frowned and said sarcastically, "What bad element? How old is she? Seven or eight years old? What bad things can she do?"

It’s because those people wearing red armbands are not behaving like human beings, making random accusations and even implicating their own children.

Lin Honghui was stunned, not knowing where Xie Ziyuan's anger came from, but he was the person in charge of the educated youth site, and did not want the new educated youth to cause trouble without any reason. He frowned and said, "Badness of people cannot be divided by age." Those red armbands who were doing odd jobs like making breakfast (homonym) were not very old, and they had caused many people to lose their homes.

He briefly talked about the Li family's situation.

After hearing this, Xie Ziyuan sneered even more.

Even if this is true, how old was Li Laidi two years ago? Did he know what it means to frame someone? He was obviously deceived by others. Even such a young child was not spared. It can be seen that the people here are all unruly people.

Yes, it’s for nothing.

As soon as Lin Honghui saw Xie Ziyuan's expression, he knew that he didn't listen to his words. Regardless of whether the matter was true or not, it was a fact that the Li family had offended Director Zheng. Whether they could return to the city or obtain the qualifications for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University depended entirely on Director Zheng's wishes.

Otherwise, even if their families have arranged everything for them, if the farm refuses to let them go, they will have no choice but to stay here and waste their time.

He had good intentions, and seeing that Xie Ziyuan came from a well-off family, he wanted to sell him a good deal. However, he had no idea that this man was actually an angry young man, so he decided to stay away from him.

That day, when Yun Tinglan was talking to Guihua, the two children came running back in a hurry.

Guihua asked, "What happened to them? Why are they running so fast?"

What else can happen? It must be a reminder of the bitter past and sweet present. It’s the May 4th Youth Day, and the school is holding another reminder of the bitter past and sweet present activity.

This bitter memory rice was originally a thin paste made of rotten vegetable leaves, pumpkin flowers, and radish tops mixed with rice bran, and then made into a steamed bun made of wild vegetables. It was so rough that it made your throat ache.

I don’t know where this trend came from, but the saying “the worse it tastes, the more encouragement we get, and the better the effect of recalling the bitterness and sweetness of the past.” Then the meal was made no matter how bad it tasted. At one point, even pigs would stay away from it when they smelled it.

"Didn't your great aunt prepare a special meal for you?" Ling Xi specially imitated the bitter memory rice made at school to make steamed buns. They looked the same and had the same ingredients, but the taste was not that bad.

After Yi An finished vomiting, he had a bitter face and said, "That Li Laidi definitely did it on purpose. She knocked my sister's steamed bread off and acted like she was about to cry. She insisted on exchanging the steamed bread in her hand for my sister's, and even asked for forgiveness. It was as if we were bullying her."

It's obvious that she has a brain problem... No, it should be her eyes that have a problem. She cries all the time, but some people with poor brains actually believe it.

After that, everyone stared at them. The steamed bread was okay, as it was made by their aunt's grandmother. The bowl of porridge almost made him sick to death, but there was nothing he could do. He was the older brother, so he had to protect his younger sister. Since Yining couldn't drink it, he poured most of the porridge into his own bowl.

"The smell... is simply amazing. It can rival the toilet in the school."

"Brother, you still said that!"

No, she felt like vomiting again when she thought about it.

Yun Tinglan wanted to laugh but felt distressed at the same time. She massaged the children’s acupoints and then brought out a plate of candied fruits to help them calm the taste in their mouths.

She originally thought that Yi An would bring up the old matter again and ask them to get rid of Li Laidi, but he didn't say a word and no one knew what bad idea he was planning.

Song Jinhan thought it was a good idea to let Li Laidi be the whetstone for the two siblings so that they would not be so naive and ignorant of the world.

Then Yun Tinglan talked about the purpose of Guihua's visit. Her eldest son is 15 this year and will graduate from junior high school next year. She wants to find a job for her eldest son. She also saw batches of educated youth being sent to the countryside, and she was a little worried that she would not be able to keep her son.

She asked, "Didn't we have one batch of educated youth this year? Why are there nine more?"

Why else could it be that the population is exploding, but the financial sector is experiencing a serious fiscal deficit. There are simply not enough jobs in the city to accommodate those students who have graduated or are about to graduate. In order to ease the employment pressure in the city and avoid various social problems.

They shouted slogans and called on the educated youth to go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants.

At the same time, it also reduced the country's supply pressure on cities. The rural areas have revitalized all the employment rates that cities cannot accommodate, and at the same time cleverly resolved a financial crisis and unemployment crisis.

Yun Tinglan slapped her forehead. She almost forgot that the vigorous "Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside" movement started in this year.

Previously, supporting border construction was a voluntary activity, but starting this year it became a compulsory movement, and those children just happened to catch up and became graduates of the "old third batch".

Yun Tinglan was somewhat fortunate that her two children were just old enough to avoid this movement. As long as she and her husband were fine, they could live a carefree life.

Song Jinhan touched his daughter's head and said, "There is no need to rush or skip grades. Just go to school step by step and she will be able to catch up with the first college entrance examination."

"How should we arrange for this group of educated youth?" Many people came over and politely expressed their refusal to accept them.

They are all children who grew up in the city. They don't even know crops. How can you expect them to do farm work? They need at least one or two years to learn and adapt.

But what do they eat? Don't they have to squeeze from everyone's rations? Otherwise, everyone is not happy about the arrival of another group of educated youth.

Seeing Song Jinhan take out some drawings, Yun Tinglan thought he was still thinking about the water vortex generator, but when she took it and took a look, it turned out not to be the case.

"Gravity water vortex generator?" This would be a big fuss, and their farm doesn't have the resources to do it for the time being.

Song Jinhan tapped the map and said, "The headquarters is planning to build a power plant here."

Yun Tinglan understood that he wanted to take advantage of the situation and install the water vortex generator on the island. This small-scale generator has a simple principle and they can assemble it themselves.

But where do the parts come from? And the cement? All these need approval from the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau.

Next, Song Jinhan got busy. The production and construction of the farm were all arranged by Xu Jianmin. He led a team of ten people and was busy in and out.

Many people were curious about digging ditches and installing machines, but the team members just smiled mysteriously and kept their mouths shut. Even when their family members asked, they remained silent.

This made everyone even more curious and they had all kinds of guesses.

The theory with the most supporters is that it was a newly dug drainage canal and the equipment installed in it was a water pump, which was intended to pump stream water into the rice fields for irrigation.

But why go far away instead of near?

There is the Naoli River next to it. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to use a water pump to directly draw water for irrigation?

Anyway, everyone is extremely curious.

After tinkering with it for more than a week, electricity was finally connected to the farm headquarters. The moment the light bulb lit up, everyone on the farm was excited.

"It's light! It's light!"

“Is this the light bulb?”

"It is indeed better than a lantern. It is very bright."
