“He Zhiqing, people from the commune are here looking for you.”
He Wan was sowing seeds in the field when she heard the brigade leader calling her. She hurried over and asked, "Brigade leader, what do the people from the commune want with me?"
"I don't know, but I said I was looking for you, Su, and Zhang, and I'm waiting for you at the bridge at the end of the village." He then looked at Zhang Cuicao in the distance and said, "Zhang, you all come with me quickly."
"good."
"Where's Wang Jianguo? Wang Zhiqing is your team leader, so he should come along too."
Zhang Deping, who was standing nearby, said, "Captain, Wang Zhiqing has gone to reclaim wasteland with the main force."
The brigade leader had no choice but to give up and led the two men back to the village.
The remaining educated youth looked at each other in confusion. Zhang Jianjun asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Xiaorong and the others shook their heads: "I don't know."
Everyone was quite curious, and they worked faster, thinking they should finish quickly so they could go back and ask the commune what they wanted from the educated youth.
When the brigade leader was halfway there, he met a village boy and asked him to go down the mountain to call Wang Jianguo over.
When He Wan and Zhang Cuicao arrived at the bridge, Su Ranran also came over from the clinic.
The person who arrived was the young staff member who had relayed the message to them earlier. He Wan quickly went over to greet him, saying, "Comrade Li, it's been a long time."
"You must be He Zhiqing, right? It's been so long, you still remember me."
"You are our benefactor, we must remember you."
He Wan's flattering words made Comrade Xiao Li laugh heartily: "No, no, this is just my job." After saying that, he turned to the captain and said: "Captain Chen, is everyone here? I'll say a few words to them and then leave."
"The youth team leader hasn't arrived yet." After the team leader finished speaking, the group waited for a few more minutes.
While chatting with Comrade Xiao Li, He Wan learned that it was an activity for educated youth held by the Office for Educated Youth this year.
By the time Wang Jianguo jogged over, He Wan had already learned most of the details.
"Hello Wang, the reason I've called you here today is to inform you that the provincial educated youth office is holding a large-scale song and dance performance called the 'Guangming Educated Youth Cup' this year. If any educated youth would like to participate, you can register at the educated youth office from the 8th to the 18th."
Wang Jianguo nodded, without much reaction.
He Wan knew that Wang Jianguo was still heartbroken, so she quickly asked with a smile, "Comrade Li, is everyone required to participate or is it voluntary?"
"Voluntary".
Su Ranran then asked, "What kind of program do we need to prepare?"
"Although it is a song and dance performance, reading aloud from anthologies is also acceptable. Of course, it should be relevant to reality, positive and uplifting, and preferably related to revolutionary songs."
The main purpose is to convey the positive and inspiring aspects of the educated youth.
Zhang Cuicao said, "Oh dear, this is difficult to choose. What if I choose the wrong one?"
"When you register, the educated youth office will give you a small booklet with the requirements. Twenty days later, the county will also hold a selection competition. The top five can go to the city to perform, and then the province."
Several people nodded and said they would consider it.
"Okay, I've delivered the message. I'm off now."
After Comrade Li turned around, Wang Jianguo and the others also turned around blankly and went back to work.
Captain Chen frowned as he looked at him: "What's wrong with Wang, the educated youth? Is he sick?"
Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao exchanged a glance, unsure how to tell the captain. He Wan, however, spoke frankly: "Captain, our Captain Wang has broken up with his girlfriend. Comrade Ding's family wasn't too happy about their relationship, so they broke up."
So please bear with me during this time.” He then hurriedly added, “Oh, right, there’s something else I forgot to tell Comrade Li.”
He went after Comrade Li without waiting for the captain to speak.
Captain Chen was left there lamenting, "Wang, the educated youth, was such a fine young man. It's such a pity."
