One is Yang Qing, who teaches her academics, and the other is her daughter, who teaches her about life.
The news of the educated youth going to the countryside loomed over Xiaohe Village. Every household was no longer sleepy and was discussing this matter.
After the meeting in the village, several village cadres took two educated youths each and moved into the homes of the corresponding farmers.
These farmers are the ones that generate surplus grain in the village every year.
Letting them take over the educated youth will make it less likely for trouble to occur.
They come from a wealthy family and won't say a word.
In the houses where educated youth lived, the strong laborers helped to carry food, the daughters-in-law helped to make the beds, and the elderly took the educated youth to familiarize themselves with the house.
It looks quite harmonious.
Although in the eyes of the educated youth, the environment they lived in was dirty and messy.
But for Xiaohe Village, these are already the best families in the area.
Fortunately, although these educated youth disliked it openly or secretly, they did not make a fuss and still cooperated with the work of the village cadres.
During the subsequent training period, the educated youth did not have the physical strength to keep up and their hands and feet were covered with blisters.
He just felt aggrieved secretly and did not have any conflicts with the villagers.
One day, the two little girls were crying because they felt aggrieved while working. The team leader was so scared that he immediately asked the two girls to take a break before continuing to work.
But the outstanding farmers who were mobilized to teach were dumbfounded.
The children in their family who started working in the fields at the age of three never cried.
They are just in training and haven't officially started working yet.
This is unbearable. It looks like someone has suffered a great injustice.
What will happen after you start working officially?
It's a life-or-death situation!
After the educated youth had mastered farm work, the movement of going up the mountain to collect mountain products after the autumn harvest every year began in full swing.
Farmers who had educated youth living with them would take them to pick mountain products.
Teach them how to identify various mountain products, and also learn which wild vegetables are edible and which are not.
After all, even households with surplus grain still need to eat wild vegetables.
We don’t have the luxury of relying on the vegetables from our own private plots to meet our vegetable needs for the whole year.
Among the educated youth living in Yang's house, only Xu Cui was brought along.
Everyone else in the family was busy calculating centimeters, and since Mr. Yang was the elder, it was impossible to trouble him.
The elderly just need to help with housework at home.
If I climb the mountain again and fall, it will be a big trouble.
Li Aihua still processes mountain products at home, while Hu Lin carries a basket to the mountains to pick wild fruits, matsutake mushrooms, etc.
Seeing Xu Cui coming with a gentle-looking girl, Hu Lin moved over.
"Godmother, this is the educated youth living in your house."
When Xu Cui saw Hu Lin, the smile on her face became much more sincere, "Yes, her last name is Liu.
You can call her Liu Zhiqing or Sister Liu, she is twelve years older than you. "
"Liu Zhiqing." Hu Lin greeted.
The girl named Liu Zhiqing smiled faintly, and the braids on both sides of her shoulders swayed slowly as she climbed the mountain.
"Why don't I see your mother? Did you come up here alone?"
Xu Cui looked around but didn't see Li Aihua.
"She was at home dealing with mountain produce and didn't come."
After Hu Lin answered, he looked at Liu Zhiqing and asked,
“I heard from the village chief that you are all intellectuals, so you, Liu Zhiqing, are a high school student?
Are you still a college student? "
When facing strangers, Hu Lin still pretended to be a child.
“I’m a college student.”
Liu Zhiqing didn't want to talk to Hu Lin because climbing the mountain was tiring enough for her.
"University?"
Hu Lin was somewhat suspicious.
"If you all are going to the countryside, then why haven't my second and fourth uncle's sons come back?"
Hu Lin seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually asking Liu Zhiqing a question.
She still needs to ask the parties involved for the specific details.
She wanted to know why, if Hu Fu had not participated in the movement, there was no news of him going to the countryside.
Or is there an exception to this?
"That's right! Why didn't your two cousins come back?
Aren’t they also college students? "
Xu Cui had been preoccupied with the affairs of the educated youth recently. After hearing what Hu Lin said, she realized that there were two college students in their village.
"Maybe he went somewhere else."
Liu Zhiqing was not very clear about this either.
"All I know is that all students have to go to the countryside to work as sentees."
This was notified by the school she attends and the residents' committee at home.
It is nationwide and must be enforced.
"Ah, can't we go home? Isn't our village also a rural area?"
It would be fun if I could go back to my hometown after going to the countryside. Hu Fu’s expression would definitely be very interesting at that time.
When I walked out, I was so proud that my tail was about to reach the sky, but before I could reach that high, reality slapped me hard in the face.
How angry I would be!
"I don't think so. If so, then re-education would be meaningless for them."
Liu Zhiqing was panting and speaking in fragments.
"Is that so? Then what will Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle do when they find out?"
Hu Lin pretended to be sad.
"Oh! What's the point of going to college? I can't even go home."
Xu Cui listened and sighed,
"I don't know whether to say your two cousins are lucky or unlucky."
"Alas! There is nothing we can do about it."
Hu Lin was polite for a moment, then changed the subject.
"I went to the front to pick fruits. It's too late and they are all gone."
"Okay, go ahead. It rained last night.
Watch your step, don't fall."
Xu Cui asked with concern.
"I understand." Hu Lin rushed away.
Liu Zhiqing looked up at the hillside which was gradually rising in altitude, and for a moment his heart broke.
