Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Kong Lingchen carried the hoe and walked with tired steps towards the 10th Production Brigade of Xiangyang Commune along with the commune members who had finished work.  Their brigade has a total labor force of more than 300 people, of which more than 200 are local members and more than 80 educated youths who have gone to the countryside.  The team was very loose, with local members in the front.  They have been used to farm work since they were young. Although they are a little tired after the day, they can still talk and laugh, and some young people even fight with each other.  The educated youths who jumped in line were walking behind, listless and dull.  It¡¯s not that they can¡¯t endure hardships. After going to the countryside for so many years, they have learned a lot even if they didn¡¯t know how to do it before. At most, they are not as good as the members.  Their fatigue is more of a spiritual emptiness and a numbness with no future in sight.  When we first went to the countryside, everyone was full of enthusiasm to develop and build frontiers, spread scientific knowledge to every corner of the motherland, and help poor and lower-middle peasants stride forward on the road to communism.  After arriving, they realized how bad the environment in the countryside was and how difficult the conditions were.  After actually participating in farm work, they discovered that the knowledge they learned was useless. They couldn't even distinguish between foxtail grass and rice ears. They had to learn everything from scratch!  Accept re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants!  It turns out that sending them to the countryside is not to teach farmers, but to receive re-education from farmers!  Moreover, he has been teaching for a few years or more than ten years, and his "graduation" is far away, and there is no news at all.  It's like luring them out of the city and then throwing them into the countryside and ignoring them!  After the enthusiasm subsides, all that is left is anxiety and boredom. When the remaining hope is also killed, thoughts such as self-abasement, despair, numbness, and being a monk beating the clock every day have become normal in the lives of educated youths.  Some educated youths who could not survive chose to marry locals, and some have already given birth to children, but more people still refuse to give in to reality.  Most of them are from cities, and they really have nothing in common with farmers. They have different living environments and different levels of education. It is difficult for both parties to find topics of interest to both parties.  Getting married was just because I was too depressed and wanted to find a partner.  Local commune members also looked down upon this group of educated youths. A group of pampered city kids, three of them couldn't do as much work as one local commune member.  If you don't understand, just learn. It's not like anyone is born knowing everything. However, these children still think of themselves as noble and do not want to listen to the teachings of the old members. They often act recklessly, or they just keep their heads down and do whatever they want.  As time goes by, although the two sides are not in conflict, they still go their separate ways and are clearly distinct.  "Kong Lingchen, have you heard that the school in Longkang is about to open?" He Yuanchao, an educated youth in the same group from Chengdu, leaned over and whispered.  "Ah." Kong Lingchen responded feebly, dragging his voice.  Why is this hoe so heavy today? Is there too much clay on it? It's causing pain in my shoulders.  He wanted to put down the hoe and take a look, but he was too lazy to pay attention. He just followed the person in front of him and moved forward step by step.  But he knew it was because there was a fire burning in his heart.  Why, why are all the people who went to Heding going to school, but the top students in his No. 35 Middle School have to face the earth every day, waving and waving their hands for three meals a day that are not enough to fill their stomachs?  Working in the fields with a heavy hoe?  If he had known this would be the case, he might as well have followed the others and ran over there. Even if he was beaten to death, it would be better than suffering like this day by day!  "Damn it, that bastard Jia Zhiwen came back again. Wearing a clean military uniform and an armed belt, he ran to our dormitory with great airs and bragged about how good he was at the 291st Brigade. He also said  Their army now pays stipends. Ordinary soldiers get 20 yuan, and he gets two yuan more for being a squad deputy! Looking at him like a villain, I want to beat him up!" He Yuanchao yelled!  , but there was a strong sourness in his tone.  A large part of the educated youth who ran over were those assigned to Yunnan.  Although one is now on the farm and the other has joined the People's Army, the contact between them has not been completely severed.  Occasionally, some educated youth would go to their original farms during their holidays to chat with their former brothers and friends.  Jia Zhiwen came from their commune, and there are several fellow alumni here, so it¡¯s not surprising that he came back.  It¡¯s just that he¡¯s been back more often recently, and even a few times he¡¯s come back even before the holidays are supposed to be on. He¡¯s been crawling around in various dormitories, and when he catches people, he¡¯s been bragging about how good the 291st Brigade is, how delicious the food is, and sometimes  Can eat meat.  In the past few days, they have begun to boast that every soldier in their brigade has received a salary book, a minimum monthly allowance of twenty yuan, and a military service agency. They can sell things in the county.?You can buy them all.  But many people still like to listen to what he said. Every time he comes, many people come over to listen to the fun.  Since everyone is not motivated, more and more people are cheating and cheating. Although they still go to the fields every day, the harvest from the fields is getting less and less.  The meals served in the cafeteria are also decreasing day by day, and the educated youths rarely have enough to eat.  Listening to Jia Zhiwen¡¯s blowing sound, although everyone was still hungry, they felt much fuller mentally.  There are people who like him, and naturally there are people who hate him.  Some people took advantage of his arrival and quietly ran to the commune to inform the commune that Jia Zhiwen ran away on his own, which sounded like a deserter.  When the commune caught him, even if they didn't criticize him, they would inevitably beat him up and make him suffer.  But Jia Zhiwen was also cunning. Every time he sent someone to watch outside, if he saw someone sent by the commune to arrest him from a distance, he would immediately run away.  As a result, the commune tried to arrest this model several times, but he escaped.  I didn¡¯t expect it to come again today.  This time we are talking about the new school that is about to be established by Brigade 291. It is said that hundreds of teachers have been invited from China to teach them.  As long as you pass the high school diploma examination, you can be assigned and enter the factory to become a worker.     I bother!  ???????????????????????????????????????????????OUT!  What kind of hell is this world? It¡¯s so damn unfair!  This was not the first time Kong Lingchen had heard this news. Similar words had been heard from other farms before, but he chose not to believe them.  I can¡¯t believe it. After I believe it, won¡¯t I feel even more unbalanced?  Sometimes he also has a vague feeling that news has spread too much and too frequently recently. Not only this commune, but other communes are also constantly receiving news about the 291st Brigade.  Could it be that someone was organizing behind the scenes to spread the news on a large scale among the educated youth in the country? ???????????????????? But this thought just passed by in a flash, and he couldn't control whether the news was spread or not.  The key point is not who is spreading the news or whether it is spread among the educated youth in an organized and purposeful way, but whether the news is true!  Someone pulled at the back of his shirt. When he turned around, he saw that it was his girlfriend, Xue Zhen, an educated youth from Zhaoqing, Guangdong.  After staying in the countryside for a long time, he lost hope for the future. He had no confidence that he would be able to wait until he returned to the city to find a girl from his hometown to get married.  Xiaozhen was a nice person. Although she was not particularly beautiful, she was also an educated youth who jumped in the queue and was very gentle. He launched an offensive and tried his best to catch her. The two officially established their relationship six months ago.  "Lingchen, I heard about the 291st Brigade" Xiaozhen quietly pulled him aside and whispered.  "School is about to start, isn't it! My ears are almost filled with scars! I tell you not to ask around. It's still unclear whether these things are true. Who knows what the people who spread these messages are thinking about?  "Besides, doesn't the commune know? If you want to know about this, you might as well wash my clothes when you have time."  "I'm not spreading rumors. I'm telling you, I heard that this time the 291 Brigade has no choice in recruiting students. Anyone can sign up for classes! If you succeed in learning, you will be treated the same as their soldiers, and you will also be assigned!" Xiaozhen rarely didn't listen.  His words were spoken to him very seriously.  ¡°Are you kidding me?¡± Kong Lingchen stopped immediately.  He deliberately did not believe the news, and even stretched out his fingers to pick at his ears, trying to confirm that he was not blocked by earwax and hearing hallucinations.  No choice to enroll? ?? Can people who are not members of Brigade 291 also go to school?  After you learn it, you will be assigned!  There was a buzz in his mind, as if someone was ringing a big bell above his head, which made him dizzy.  The scenery in front of me also became blurry, and my heart was beating violently, as if I could hardly breathe. I had to open my mouth wide and breathe hard and fast to ensure that sufficient oxygen could be delivered to the heart.  The world in front of him became a little red. He didn't know if it was due to congestion. He just grabbed Xiaozhen's shoulders and said in a hoarse voice: "Non-selective enrollment? It also includes allocation. Who did you listen to? Is it true?  ?" "It hurts!" Xiaozhen was about to burst into tears, trying to tear his hand apart, but Kong Lingchen's hands were like a pair of pliers, tightly clamping her shoulders, preventing her from moving.  "I'm sorry, I, I'm so excited!" Kong Lingchen hadn't lost his mind yet. After a while, he suddenly realized that he had hurt his girlfriend, so he quickly let go and apologized.  At the end, someone asked: "Is what you just said true?" "Of course it is true!" Xiaozhen deliberately ignored him and was angry with him, but seeing his eager expression, she still softened her heart, "This is what Jia Zhiwen brought  The news came back that their brigade commander said that building a high-tech new city requires a lot of high-tech.??Talent.  They don't have any now, and they certainly can't find them in China, so they plan to cultivate them themselves.  Anyway, the army can only take classes at night, and it is wasted if it is not used during the day. Therefore, it is planned to simply recruit students without selection, so as to maximize the efficiency by combining day teaching with night school learning.  "It's true, it's true!" Kong Lingchen's heart was beating loudly, and he was no longer so resistant to the news coming from Jia Zhiwen. He only had one thought echoing in his mind: "I can go to school too!"  Then you can get rid of your current living situation, go to work in a factory, and return to city life!  " He suddenly thought of a question: "But the 291st Brigade is far away from us. If we go to school there, we will definitely have to escape the commune. What will we do in the future?  " In his mind, he no longer had the option of escaping the commune. He only had the question of how to survive after running to the 291st Brigade and losing his source of income. "It's okay!  "Xiaozhen's face was shining with excitement," Jia Zhiwen said, the school charges no fees and also provides accommodation. Three meals a day are provided by the army. This is considered a trainee of the army.  Each commissioned trainee signs a commissioned training contract on a voluntary basis, guaranteeing to work in a military factory for at least five years after graduating from high school" "No problem, no problem!  Don't say five years, fifteen or fifty years will do!  "Kong Lingchen burst into laughter. "What a big deal! It's the wish of every educated youth to be able to live in the city. This contract is not a restriction to them, but a wish! The sunset has turned a little dark red.  The sky was so bright in his eyes at this moment, full of hope for the future. He raised his head happily, and was about to express his joy, but found that the educated youth team had stopped at some point, and they were all gathering in twos and threes.  They were talking about something intensely and excitedly. As the breeze blew by, he seemed to hear "¡­provide board and lodging,be trained". He suddenly became nervous and looked around, finding almost everyone.  In this way, even those educated youths who had already married and had children in the local area showed mysterious expressions, avoiding other people and whispering to their familiar companions and lovers. He took a deep breath.  , suddenly took Xiaozhen's hand, leaned into her ear, and said very seriously: "Xiaozhen, I have decided to leave at night, will you go?  "    "ah?  So fast?  Of course I want to go, but I need to be more prepared, right?  "Xiao Zhen didn't expect him to react so fiercely. Judging from his appearance, if he wasn't afraid that his goal would be obvious now, he might have already run towards the national border. "You're stupid!  Look at other people, there are countless people who think like us!  Our team is like this, what about other teams?  What about other farms?  There will definitely be many educated youths running there by then, and the scale may not be smaller than when the People's Party first emerged a few years ago!  You see, at that time, the domestic authorities will definitely increase management efforts to stop too many people from running over.  If you want to run, run early. If you run too late, you may not be able to run!  "Xiaozhen looked at the others and nodded thoughtfully.
