"As for university, I don't think we need to rush it." The old educated youth sounded somewhat helpless when he spoke of this. "I don't know the details, but no one from our area has been admitted to university yet. After everyone was tested, it was found that there were still some areas of lack in their abilities, so they need to be reassessed, and then they will need special training. That's what I heard, but I'm not sure of the details."

"But isn't it strange that there's a university in a village?" Ma Xiaofei asked curiously. "Generally speaking, universities are only found in big cities, right? Back when I thought I could still take the exam, I even researched this, but I found that most universities are in small places within big cities. There aren't any at all. Whether it's the manpower or other equipment, they simply can't support it."

After hearing what he said, the old educated youth said cheerfully, "Xiao Ma, you are quite knowledgeable about this. I am not very clear about this. In the past, I never thought about taking the college entrance examination."

"Haha, I was looking into this because I wanted to take the college entrance exam. Who knew I'd run into such bad luck? The college entrance exam was actually cancelled. Now I have no chance."

"Why not? I heard that if you get into university, you can get a very good subsidy. I don't know what it's like here, but considering that the village is so good now, I think the treatment should not be too bad. Oh, let's not rush about this. You can go and consult tomorrow. Let me introduce you to the general situation of the village first, so that you don't get lost when you leave. It will be a troublesome thing, right?"

Since he had already said this, it was naturally impossible for others to ask other questions in a roundabout way. After all, they had lived here for a while, and it was not a good time now because some things made everyone unhappy, so everyone defaulted to listening to what the other party said first, not to mention that the things broadcast on TV were also very interesting.

These animations were the first time they had seen them, so they were naturally very interested.

So the old educated youth continued, "Outside the supply and marketing cooperative is the entertainment center. People of all ages can go here to have fun, have tea, or watch a movie. This place mainly broadcasts TV programs. There's a dedicated movie theater where you can rent movies. It's a bit more expensive in Hui'an, but it's okay. If you don't choose the movies, you can just sit in the hall and watch them for free. But if you order snacks or drinks, you'll have to pay extra."

When this was said, everyone was basically confused because they had no idea what it meant.

What about watching movies? Renting movies? And what about drinks? What does this mean?

The confusion in their eyes couldn't be hidden at all, so the old educated youth saw it clearly, so he said to them, "It's like an oversized TV, but the TV here can only play set content, so we can't watch whatever we want. But here we can choose according to our own preferences, so it's better. I can take you there tonight to watch it, or we should start tomorrow night and let you get your things sorted today."

"But will you go and see it tomorrow? It depends on how well you've organized your things. Or if there are any work arrangements, you'll usually be given a few days' rest, so there should still be a chance to see it."

"If you go to school tomorrow night, you won't be able to go and see it because we won't be free during the day. But if you don't go to school, you can go there to see it in the evening. If you bring your own water, it's free."

Some newly arrived educated youth asked curiously, "Do many people bring their own water?"

If no one else brought water and they were the only ones who brought water, it would be strange, even though they really wanted to go and see what the movie was about.

The old educated youth said: "There are more people who bring water than those who don't, but they can actually be divided into several categories."

"Why are they divided into several categories? Tell us about it." These guys are really interested now, and each of them is extremely curious.

The old educated youth, with a show-off attitude, also said cheerfully: "It is indeed divided into several categories. The components of our village are actually quite complicated. Let's take this entertainment center as an example."

"First of all, there were immigrants from the north, because this village was originally composed of immigrants from the north and immigrants from the south."

"The immigrants from the north brought their own tea with them. Some even left the stalks behind, just a cucumber. But that was when cucumbers were available. Nowadays, people can hardly cultivate cucumbers in their own fields. Although they were told how to grow cucumbers in greenhouses, the first batch of people didn't do much. But now it's proven that it can be grown, and I believe more and more people will do it in the future."

The topic suddenly jumped to the aspect of vegetable greenhouse cultivation, but no one was interested because they did not have a clear understanding of this. What's more, everyone's focus is actually on classification. The issue of whether to bring water or not is still very important for the family, because sometimes if it is not done well, it will make people feel a little unsociable.

Fortunately, although the old educated youth had strayed from the topic a bit, he still got back to the point: "They used to live a hard life, and things started to get better after they came to the village here. So they don't have much money in their pockets and usually live frugally. They definitely enjoy going to the movies or watching TV series, but they are not willing to spend extra money on them. It's a free place anyway, so they think they can just bring a handful of sunflower seeds and a cup of tea. Why waste extra money? I think the same thing."
