Time never stops because of human will. It is like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins and will never look back.
The educated youth in Malutun were still studying day and night. They even had to take their books with them when they went to the toilet. They mumbled the key points under their breath, looking like they had forgotten to eat and sleep.
The other brigades and villages were in turmoil. The families of those who married female educated youth were howling in pain every day, while those who married male educated youth were in tears.
This is a problem left over from history that no one can solve. It all depends on whether the parties involved have a conscience, correct values, and a strong sense of responsibility.
"Zuo Zuo, there are so many cars coming to the village!"
Hearing this, everyone who was studying with their heads down raised their heads and looked at Qi Meng, whose face was excited.
"Sedan? Come here?"
Qi Meng nodded and pointed outside.
"It seems like they're coming here. Many of them are wearing military uniforms."
Gu Zuozuo frowned, then relaxed. She knew why those people came.
"They're supposed to be here to pick up the guys from the bullpen."
Calculating the time, it is almost the day of rehabilitation, but it is still too late. Those who were there earlier should have been taken away when the Gang of Four was overthrown.
It’s a pity that Mr. Xie couldn’t wait until now, otherwise, he would have been taken back in glory.
Everyone whispered for a moment, then lowered their heads to continue reviewing. If the sky fell, they would at most look up. If they didn't die, they would just study on their own. This was their only chance to get out of the mountains.
"Excuse me, is Gu Zuozuo, the educated youth, here?"
A gentle female voice came from outside the door, and everyone looked up at Gu Zuozuo again.
"Why are you looking at me? Keep studying!"
brush!
Everyone lowered their heads, their eyes darting around, their curiosity almost solidifying into substance.
They remembered this voice. She was the only woman in the cowshed, Li Aihua. It was said that she used to be a high-ranking official.
As soon as Gu Zuozuo went out, she saw Li Aihua, who was wearing patched clothes but still energetic. She tilted her head in confusion. She remembered that she and these people seemed to have no intersection except seeing a doctor?
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Aihua softened her expression, looked at the puzzled girl in front of her, smiled, and handed her a box.
"This is something that Elder Xie left behind. He once said that if light comes one day, let me give it to you. If darkness remains, let me give it to Xie Jinyu. Now, we have both been rehabilitated and are about to return to the city. I must help Elder Xie fulfill his last wish."
As he spoke, he handed the box to Gu Zuozuo and looked at her with soft eyes.
"Go ahead. Elder Xie said this is at most a token of gratitude from an elder to a younger person for saving his life. It has no other meaning. You can keep it without feeling any pressure."
Gu Zuozuo pursed her lips, remained silent for a long time, and finally took the box.
"Here are the contact information and home addresses of me, Zhu Mintao, and the others. If you need anything when you return to the city in the future, please contact us. Although we don't have any special abilities, we can still protect one person."
They had heard Xie Jinyu talk about the little girl's experience and knew that she had had a hard time living alone.
If they had not had the overt and covert help of the team leader and her during their years of exile, they would have collapsed long ago and would have ended up with a rolled-up mat like their colleagues.
Gu Zuozuo took it and said thank you.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is someone else's kindness and she will not refuse it.
After Li Aihua left, only Gu Zuozuo was left standing there.

When the box was opened, a green dragon and phoenix hollow jade bracelet lay quietly inside.
[Host, I feel like this must be Mr. Xie's heirloom!]
Gu Zuozuo raised his eyebrows. No need to feel, this must be it.
Who would give away Imperial Green just for saving someone’s life?
She remembered that many wealthy families made bracelets out of the jewelry they passed down to their daughters-in-law, and it looked like this one was the same.
However, she didn't care much about it. She had more than a dozen sets of imperial green jewelry in her hands, and she didn't even look down on this small bracelet.
[Host, do you want to return it to Xie Jinyu? ]
Gu Zuo flipped his hand and threw the box and the contact note back into the space without any care.
"Also, I don't lack jewelry."
The system held its heart in pain... Oh, I forgot it has no heart.
The system held its head in its hands with a headache and a sad tone.
[Host, you don't need it, but I do! ]
"What kind of jewelry do you need when you can't leave this dimension?"
The system is dissatisfied and protests.
[Host, you can't discriminate against species. We all have the same aesthetics. If you think something is beautiful, how could I not like it?]
"You like it? Then if you like it, buy it yourself if you have money!"
System: ...So it just said so much in vain?
【Stingy! 】
"If you're generous, why don't you give me a few sets? Let me see how generous you are."
(The system silently mutes the microphone and throws you a shut-up emoji)
"Shhh~"

The college entrance examination arrived as scheduled. The educated youth wearing thick cotton coats, hats and scarves and the village members who were taking the college entrance examination squeezed together in the tractor and headed towards the county.
The first college entrance examination ten years later was held in the coldest month of December. Everyone who took the exam was frozen like a quail and wished they could curl themselves up in a cotton-padded jacket.
The team leader directly brought a few thick quilts and wrapped those taking the college entrance examination tightly, fearing that they would miss the opportunity due to illness.
The rumbling sound of the tractor is particularly harsh in this quiet winter.
Zhu Xiaoxiao huddled up beside Gu Zuozuo and leaned against him to keep warm. There was no other way, it was much warmer next to Gu Zuozuo than anywhere else.
