"Nanyi, come here quickly."

Nan Yi and Men San'er came back from chatting, and Liu Zhen waved quickly when she saw him.

"Let me introduce to you. This is Zhang Weiguo and this is Jiang Biyun. They are both from No. 8 Middle School. They are going to Shajiaotou with us."

"Hello, Nanyi, are we the four going to Shajiaotou?"

"Yes, it's just the four of us. Everyone else jumped in line at Changping and Daxing, so we unlucky ones were sent here."

It was Zhang Weiguo who answered. Judging from the closeness between him and Jiang Biyun, they might be a couple.

"Then we are all here too. I just asked outside. Let's go to Shenzhen Ruins. There is a bus to Shajiaotou. It only leaves once a day. We have to hurry, otherwise we have to walk."

"Nanyi, do you know how to get to Shenzhen Ruins?"

"I know, just follow me." Nan Yi picked up the luggage again and left first.

Everything went well and they caught up with the car.

In the car, Zhang Weiguo and Jiang Biyun were whispering, and Nan Yi and Liu Zhen were also whispering.

"When we get to Shajiaotou, I'll talk to the people from the Educated Youth Office and see if they can give us some time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and let's go buy something."

"Nanyi, I..." Liu Zhen stumbled and said in embarrassment.

"It's okay, I'm here."

"Um."

Liu Zhen has known Nan Yi since she decided to come here to jump in line, and she has become accustomed to hearing the words "It's okay, I'm here", which makes her feel at ease.

"By the way, have you brought your books?"

"No, my mother took it and sold it to others. We come here to farm, is there any use for the books?"

"Of course it's useful. Look, there haven't been any serious college students in many years. What are the backgrounds of those workers, peasants and soldiers students? They are either taking off their pants to gain connections, or they are farming experts and production pacesetters.

How many people with cultural background can be expected to build the four modernizations?

If the country wants to develop, it must resume the college entrance examination, select talents, train them, and then fill them into various positions. Look, the college entrance examination is not far away from resumption, maybe this year, maybe next year."

“Will the country really resume the college entrance examination?”

"Yes, we can't stay in the countryside forever. Look at the former educated youth. Many of them have returned to the city. We are just unlucky enough to catch up. We probably won't be able to stay here for long. The policy will be implemented sooner or later.

.”

"But with such a large number of educated youth returning to the city, there are not many jobs in the city to accommodate them."

"Whether it can be resettled or not, we have to let people go back. Otherwise, sooner or later, the educated youth will join forces and start riots. This is a factor of instability."

"Then...there will really be a college entrance examination?"

"Believe me, it will happen."

"If it's true, that would be great."

Liu Zhen is not stupid and her academic performance is very good. As long as she continues to maintain her academic performance, she will have no problem getting into college.

Although Nan Yi and Liu Zhen were classmates at the same school, they didn't know each other at all. Knowing that Liu Zhen was coming here to jump in line, Nan Yi went to find out about her situation.

When he met her at the train station, he felt sorry for this little girl.

He is about 1.6 meters tall, but he doesn't look like he has 800 pounds of meat on his body. He is lean and looks like he has a big head but a small body. He is on par with some patients who have esophageal cancer and are unable to eat.

The current conditions are not good, but she is not that miserable. This girl must be such a superfluous existence in her family.

Putting an oil paper bag into Liu Zhen's hand, Nan Yi said: "There are donkey-hide gelatin dates in it. You can eat a few of them, but not too many. I'll take you to eat intestines when you get off the car."

Fan, if you can buy roasted goose and pigeon, I will buy it for you too."

"Um."

In just two days, Liu Zhen had already taken eating and drinking Nanyi as a matter of course.

This is not a distortion of human nature, but a change in emotion.

Liu Zhen ate two or three pills by herself, then passed the oiled paper bag back and shared it with Zhang Weiguo and Jiang Biyun.

The bus stopped and stopped from time to time. A gust of wind blew, and the smoke from the exhaust pipe drifted into the car. The engine of this car was probably about to be scrapped, and the smell of engine oil was very strong.

Squeaking, the bus stopped again, and the driver shouted into the carriage: "We're here, we're here, you educated youths are getting off here."

"Thank you, master."

There was a flurry of excitement, and the four people got out of the car with their luggage.

Just as he was looking for someone to ask where the commune was, Nan Yi's eyes were dazzled. Following the light, he saw a "huge" five-pointed star on the building opposite.

Looking down, I saw a white sign that said "Shajiaotou Commune" and another one on the side that said "Shajiaotou Educated Youth Office".

Okay, no need to look for it!

After a few formal greetings, the people from the Educated Youth Affairs Office told them where the four people would be assigned.

As Nan Yi had learned, he and Liu Zhen went to Wenchangwei. Zhang Weiguo and Jiang Biyun were separated. Jiang Biyun was with Nan Yi and Zhang Weiguo went to a village not far away.

Someone from the Educated Youth Office rang the phone and notified Wenchang to come and pick him up.

"Just wait here. The captain of Wenchangwei will come to pick you up soon."

"Thank you, comrade leaders. We can just wait at the door. It won't affect your work."

Nanyi and the others would not feel comfortable if they were sitting in the office and other people would react harshly. It would be better for them to go to the door and wait with informed information.

"Go ahead."

Nan Yi took Liu Zhen to the gate of the Educated Youth Office, found a clean area, put her travel bag on the ground, "Sit on it."

"Sit down too, let's squeeze in."

"No, just sit here and look at your belongings while I go buy cigarettes."

"Why are you still going to buy cigarettes? Don't you still have two cigarettes in your bag?"

Nan Yi leaned into Liu Zhen's ear and said, "I didn't smoke that cigarette myself, I had to keep it as a favor."

He not only brought two Huazi, but also two bottles of Feitian Maotai. The wine was not expensive at eight yuan a bottle. It took a lot of effort to get the qualification to buy it.

"Oh, then you go."

"Wait, I'll bring you something to eat."

With that said, he set off with three lunch boxes.

After a while, I found the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a Guangxi and some miscellaneous items, and then hurried to the five-star canteen pointed out by the salesman.

At this time, it happened to be meal time, and there were already several customers eating in the canteen.

"Master, please bring three bowls of rice rolls and two roast geese."

"There is no roast goose, but there is yellow beef. Do you want it?"

"Are they fried now?"

"Of course, we don't eat braised beef here."

"How much does it cost?"

"Two dollars and eight."

"Then fry me two portions, master. I'll give you the lunch box and I'll take it away."

"Six yuan and two, six taels of food stamps."

"Here." Nan Yi counted the money and took out three 2-tael national food stamps.

………………

"Nanyi, you're back. This is Captain Xian, here to pick us up." Nan Yi came back with his things, and Liu Zhen introduced him excitedly.

"Hello, hello, Captain Xian, I'm sorry to trouble you to come pick us up."

"You are Nan Yi, right? Can you speak the vernacular?"

"a little……"

"Come on, let's chat slowly on the way. The ship is about to leave. I happen to be here to haul fertilizer today, so I'll take you three with me by the way."

"Okay, Captain Xian, let's walk."

As soon as he got on the boat and sat down, Nan Yi took out two bags of Huazi and walked to Xian Yaodong who was steering the boat. "Captain Xian, I didn't bring you any specialties. I just brought two bags of Huazi. Take it."

smoke."

"Oh, Nan Yi, how can I say hello to you? Why are you like this..." Captain Xian blocked Nan Yi's stretched out hand and said displeasedly.

"Captain Xian, you are older and my elder. I call you Uncle Xian...Uncle Xian, I treat this cigarette as my nephew's tribute to you. If you don't hold it, you don't recognize me as your nephew."

"Come on, you are really a ghost. You have said so. It would be wrong of me if I don't take it back."

Xian Yaodong put away the two packs of cigarettes, stuffed one pack into his shirt pocket, opened the other pack, and gave a loose cigarette to Nan Yi. Nan Yi hurriedly took out a lighter and helped him light it.

After smoking and flattering, Xian Yaodong felt comfortable and was willing to say a few honest words.
