Chapter 234: Those Years in the Great Northern Wilderness (7)
Qiu Yan didn't listen any more and hurried home. She felt cold in her heart, but she had to live her life.
Her master was right. She still had to have her own children. It was too naive to rely on others. The father was on guard against you. How could you expect the child to treat you as his own mother?
Why is she still so heartfelt? Just take care of yourself.
So, she doesn't care what you choose.
When Yun Tinglan heard about the Tan family's choice, she didn't say anything. She just told them the recruitment time and told them to just go through the motions when the time comes.
But she also explained that they were just apprentices, and she would not be responsible for the future. Yun Tinglan gave them another 500 yuan as money to buy ginseng, and sent them away.
The people on the farm have been particularly quiet recently.
why?
I heard that some educated youth met the four people who were recruited to work. In less than a month, they had become dark and thin due to exhaustion.
If the four people hadn't called out to him, the educated youth wouldn't have dared to recognize him, so he asked curiously, "Didn't you return to the city?"
Yes, my organizational relationship was transferred and was also registered under the name of the power plant, but I was seconded to work at the post and telecommunications office. I was said to have returned to the city, but in fact I was still wandering around in the township.
When they asked, they found out that this type of job was originally designed to add electric poles to the nearby towns. The original regular workers were unwilling to do it because the work was too tiring. It just so happened that the power plant was going to build a branch and needed to expand recruitment, so these vacancies became available.
They had no idea what was going on here. When they heard they could go back to the city, they started scrambling for it recklessly. Now, they are all dumbfounded.
In fact, to be fair, this job is also very popular. At least the old farmers who work in the fields look at them with envy.
But the problem is that it is different from what they expected.
Working in the countryside, eating at a nearby commune, the electric poles are so heavy that anyone who has worked there knows it. At the end of the day, you'll be exhausted.
The educated youth was actually not familiar with them, but he was dragged to listen to their complaints. He complained about the heavy work, low wages, and that life was far less comfortable than on the farm. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
The point is that they hope he will go back to the farm to help convey their wishes. They don't want to do this anymore and want to go back to the farm.
But is it possible? Obviously not. They were afraid of the long wait and transferred their organizational relationship impatiently, but now they regret it and want to come back?
Sorry, the farm doesn't accept it.
In this way, Song Jinhan seemed to have done nothing and gave them the future they wanted, but he really let the group of newly arrived educated youth see how powerful he was.
For a moment, everyone became quiet.
They also went hungry on the farm, but that was because they did not work hard, had few work points, and did not get enough food to eat, so they had to rely on per capita rations to survive. On the other hand, the old educated youth, or those who married the children of the farm, did not go hungry as long as they had enough work points.
No matter whether the food is good or not, your stomach will be full.
After they figured it out, the educated youth became much more sensible and were willing to let go of their arrogance from city origins. They settled down to learn farm work and gradually adapted to life on the farm.
Instead of racking your brains to find a way back to the city,
These days actually went on.
Soon, the farm was about to set up a power supply station. Someone had to be on guard near the dam to prevent anyone from getting hurt, especially naughty children.
In addition, the electricity meter has been installed, but someone has to check the meter and collect the electricity bills afterwards, and also be responsible for maintaining and inspecting the lines.
Looking at the notice in front of the headquarters, those who had been making a fuss were dumbfounded. When they saw that the examiners were Geng Shan and his companions, they were even more annoyed and wanted to slap themselves a few times.
So were they just making a fuss for nothing? The key point was that they had offended someone. Although they were nervous, they were still unwilling to let go of the opportunity.
Song Jinhan didn't care about the hustle and bustle here. He was busy planning the construction of a middle school. Truckloads of bricks and cement were brought back, and men, women, old and young all joined in the construction. Before winter, a two-story building was finally completed.
Many people said, "It's more impressive than the farm headquarters." This is a good leader who is dedicated to getting things done.
Xu Jianmin was also happy. Although the current Cultural Revolution movement was constantly criticizing intellectuals, he still attached great importance to his children's education. Just think about it, how terrible it would be if a country had a knowledge and talent gap.
Therefore, he agreed with Song Jinhan's approach.
Tables, chairs and benches were even simpler to make. We just used the farm's money, went to the birch forest to cut down some trees, and hammered them around. It didn't take much effort and everyone had them made.
Everyone knew that it was for the children, so the tables, chairs and benches were all polished again. After all, their own children would use them in the future, so no one cut corners.
A fireplace is installed in each classroom to make it easier for children to keep warm, but the children need to bring their own firewood every day.
There is no complete separation between primary and secondary schools.
They are all in the center of the island, which is next to the headquarters. Water and electricity are supplied first, and running water pipes are also installed. In terms of conditions, the environment is no worse than that of primary and secondary schools in the county.
As soon as the news of recruiting teachers came out, not only the educated youth were excited, but also the teachers in the surrounding communes were attracted. The conditions were not taken into consideration. The levels of junior high schools and primary schools were different, and the salary and benefits were also different.
Then the house became lively, with people coming in and out. Not to mention the two children, even Yun Tinglan was annoyed. So, Song Jinhan's old illness relapsed, and he needed to rest and not see guests.
All those who wanted to use their connections to get in the way flocked to Xu Jianmin, but he was a stubborn person. So they thought it was okay and decided to just go and take the exam.
He directly asked people to write down the recruitment requirements and conditions and post them on the public notice board. Examination was a must, and daily performance was also an important reference. At this time, the role of the awareness ticket came into play again.
Most of the people were eliminated directly, especially the new educated youth. None of them met the requirements. They were dissatisfied but did not dare to make a fuss.
Xu Jianmin said directly, "We sent you to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. You are lazy and slack when doing farm work, but you rush to do good things when you see them. You are lazy and hate work, and your ideological awareness is low. This is capitalist!"
"I'm putting this out there. Either you work hard and perform well in the future, or you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible." After saying this, Xu Jianmin left, leaving behind a group of new educated youth with dejected faces, while the old educated youth had joy in their eyes.
But there are always people who refuse to give up.
What if the right way doesn't work? Isn't there a shortcut?
What shortcut? Anyway, the few leaders in charge of teacher recruitment encountered many female educated youths by chance, some asking for help, some trying to show their courtesy, and all kinds of tricks emerged one after another.
That day, Yun Tinglan was helping Lingxi wind wool. Lannie came hurriedly, waved at her, and glanced at Lingxi from time to time. It was obvious that she had something to do and she needed to carry Lingxi on her back.
She asked, "What's the matter?"
Lanny whispered, "Someone wants to steal your aunt's boyfriend. It's Lu Zhiqing."
Auntie?
Yun Tinglan's mouth twitched. What corner? Is it a job at the supply and marketing point on the island?
