The forest farm originally had more than 30 educated youths, but some were transferred away and some returned to the city, so now only 12 remain.

Four female educated youth and eight male educated youth.

The educated youth who returned home for the Spring Festival brought a lot of local specialties from their hometown. When they met, they greeted each other warmly and gave each other the local specialties.

The dormitory was noisy and bustling with activity.

A male educated youth named Song Qihang beckoned mysteriously to everyone and said:

"Everyone, come here! I have some earth-shattering news to tell you!"

The educated youth were all drawn over and gathered around Song Qihang.

Only Gu Zhiyun sat at the table, keeping a small distance from the others.

He doesn't like joining in the fun at all, nor does he like hearing any "explosive news".

Seeing Song Qihang's smug expression, as if he possessed a top national secret, everyone anxiously urged him to speak quickly.

Song Qihang cleared his throat with an air of seriousness.

“My dad’s friend who works in the educated youth office said that the country’s policy on educated youth has changed. Starting this year, educated youth will no longer be sent to the countryside. Those who have already been sent to the countryside for a period of time will be arranged to return to the city in batches. Those who should study will continue their studies, and those who should be assigned jobs will be assigned jobs!”

Zhou Zhengqing, who had been nonchalant, suddenly brightened up upon hearing this.

Are you sure? Is the information reliable?

Song Qihang thumped his chest loudly: "It's reliable. My dad's friend is a high-ranking official. Would he lie?"

The educated youth burst into enthusiastic applause, interspersed with cheers.

"Great! We can finally go back to the city!"

Only Gu Zhiyun remained expressionless, as if the news hadn't shocked him at all.

"How will the return to the city be staggered?" asked a female educated youth named Shang Xiaorong.
