Chapter 77: Thunder in a clear sky
People from all walks of life in the capital celebrated National Day with a variety of colorful performances and garden activities, which brought great joy and satisfaction to people.
Yan Jiuru takes the old people out for a walk every afternoon. It’s amazing that they have been in Yancheng for almost a year and have never been to a park or taken photos.
Yan Jiuru: This must be made up.
Not only did we take group and individual photos in Huabiao Square, but we also took them to climb the Great Wall, listen to crosstalk masters in the park, and play ring tossing with my younger brothers and sisters.
Chen Yin's work became increasingly busy, and she hadn't been able to go home for two nights in a row.
On the evening of the 3rd, Yan Jiuru went to the Municipal Party Committee Building to pick someone up as usual, but found that the entire Municipal Party Committee Office Building did not look like it was time to get off work.
Everyone was walking in a hurry but few people were talking.
Chen Yin simply said, "No one can go home these two days, so just stay in the office for a while."
***
Yan Jiuru couldn't help but feel that a storm was about to come.
When he came back this time, he also discovered some new situations:
For example, the rebels who had been clamoring for a long time have quieted down a lot, and people are rarely seen being dragged and criticized on the streets. Also, some slogans and big-character posters have not been posted for a long time...
Thinking about the many old comrades who have returned to work recently, Yan Jiuru looked up at the sky and thought that big moves are not far away, right?
I never expected that this would come so soon.
On the night of the 4th, he was urgently recalled by his unit!
"Didn't you say it would be a month?"
Yan Jiuru muttered as he quickly changed his clothes and almost ran into the jeep.
Director Wu stepped on the accelerator and the jeep sped away.
***
The car was heading neither to Institute 107 nor to Xishan Base.
Yan Jiu stared at Director Wu with hawk-like eyes and asked, "What's going on?"
Director Wu gave instructions in a quiet but steady voice. "Tomorrow morning, there's a very important meeting. We're going to be clearing out some pests and arresting some individuals. We have to ensure the safety of everyone attending."
Yan Jiuru: “…”
Director Wu glanced over and said, "Don't worry. They are all bad apples hindering the country's progress and development. They are definitely not persecuting good people."
"...We will first check the venue and check all attendees, including waiters. No dangerous items are allowed to be brought into the venue."
"...In addition to preventing the captured people from taking the opportunity to resist, we must also prevent enemy agents and other spies from taking advantage of the opportunity to intervene."
Because they were afraid of the news leaking out, all the notifications were made at the last minute, and Director Wu could only give instructions while driving.
***
"...The Propaganda Department has taken over."
"...Huaxia Society has taken over."
"...People's Newspaper and People's Broadcasting Station have been taken over..."
Under the dim light of the street lamps, military trucks loaded with soldiers armed with live ammunition sped away.
As the arrest operation continued and the main mouthpiece units and important departments were controlled and taken over, the main operation that night was a huge success.
Of course, some minor conflicts are inevitable, but they are still vulnerable in the face of the central government's strong determination and military strength.
Everything is going smoothly for Yan Jiuru as well.
Now his spiritual awareness has grown a lot, and the whole building appears in his spiritual awareness. During the inspection, he found three hidden radios and a group of mines and pipe explosives hidden in the sewer.
I originally thought they were checking weapons and ammunition, but I didn’t expect to get such an unexpected find!
Hiding a radio station in plain sight is a bit like hiding it in plain sight. I don't know if it has been activated yet. As for the explosives, it looks like they were only put there a short time ago, so they won't be needed for follow-up operations.

The wind starts from the tip of the green duckweed, and the waves form from the ripples.
No one would have thought that in a remote and almost unknown Xinghua Brigade in the Northern Province, two little butterflies gently flapped their wings, and the direction of some things changed dramatically.
That night, many people slept soundly, while many others stayed awake all night.
The next morning, people got up as usual to go to work and school, and the loudspeakers in the square sounded as usual. However, the news broadcasted shocked the entire land of Xuan Country!
"...The Central Committee meeting decided to restore order, smash the four-man gang, and arrest the main members of the gang!"
Just like any major event in the past, by the time the outside world knew the news, the task had already been completed.
A vigorous nationwide movement came to an abrupt end just like that!!!
People rushed to tell each other, "Have you heard? Anyone who was treated unfairly or persecuted during the Great Movement can file a complaint. If the complaint is proven, they will be redressed and compensated, and confiscated property will be returned."
"Also, those who followed □□ can surrender themselves, and the public can also report them, and they will be held accountable according to the law!"
"That's good now, let's see if they are still proud of it!"
In addition, the meeting also required all schools, factories, enterprises and institutions to return to normal, focusing on national development and people's happiness, and no longer focusing on class struggle. . . . .
It can be said that on this day, the land of Xinxuan Kingdom was full of joy and excitement!
The sky is finally bright.
***
The crimes of the four-member group are naturally too numerous to list.
Since the central government has decided to arrest him, it must have reached the point where it can no longer tolerate him.
Now that we have enough evidence to bring down his gang, the remaining minor details are of no importance. Therefore, the arrest, interrogation and sentencing were completed in just over a month.
The impact of this incident is far-reaching, and the shock it caused continues to ferment.
Some of those who had been overthrown or demoted began to gradually return to their jobs and resume their work, but some others did not make it to the daybreak. . . . .
However, it is not difficult to see that physical and material damage can always be repaired, but mental and spiritual trauma may leave permanent scars.
These can only be left to time.
***
Half a month passed in a flash, and Chen Yin finally returned to her normal get off work schedule.
"Are we almost done with the work?" Yan Jiuru felt that according to the current situation, the Municipal Party Committee still had a lot of backlog issues to deal with, and it shouldn't be able to relax so soon.
Chen Yin sighed, "No, it's just that the old leader is sick and the doctor forced him to rest."
"What's going on? Weren't everything fine when we met a few days ago?"
This isn't a matter of confidentiality. Chen Yin said, "Many of the old leader's subordinates were sidelined in recent years, which is still considered a good thing. However, several were persecuted to death. Their families didn't trust local officials and went directly to the old leader to complain. Speaking of which..."
"Alas, tears streamed down his face as he said he didn't die at the hands of the enemy or the devils, but at the hands of his own people. He was so heartbroken that he collapsed that night."
Although these elderly people have long been indifferent to life and death, they do not want their comrades who have fought through life and death with them to end up like this.
Alas! The two of them could do nothing but sigh.
***
However, Chen Yindao mentioned something that was worth celebrating: "...We've had a few internal meetings. Right now, all industries are short of talent. I think it won't be long before university enrollment starts to look promising."
She asked Yan Jiuru: "What do you think about recruiting students, Brother Jiuru?"
Yan Jiuru turned over and sat up. "What are you thinking about? I tell you, we must get into a good school. Didn't you see what school the company filled out on the form? They wrote Yancheng University. We can't always write Red Star Commune High School, right?"
There was no way we could recruit students before, but now that we can take the exam, we have to get into a well-known school.
"Oh, and don't try to guess. Don't miss this great opportunity. You can go to college later. If you want to move up, high school will definitely not be enough."
Chen Yin sneered at him, "Of course I want to take the exam too, but I'm not sure what I'm going to study yet."
Then I asked him, "Do you want to study geology?"
Yan Jiuru shook his head. "Work is work. I don't like to do this as far as interests are concerned."
No matter what, let’s focus on studying first.
***
The two began to collect study materials separately.
Government departments are now frequently convening meetings with relevant people in the education sector for discussions. Although no clear documents have been issued yet, everyone has some idea of the situation.
Therefore, textbooks and related materials became hot commodities for a while. Fortunately, they acted early and were still able to buy them.
Yan Jiuru wrote a letter to his father-in-law and sent back two sets of review materials to the Xinghua Brigade, one set for the educated youth and one set for the previous students who wanted to take the exam.
He let them in on a little information, hoping that they would catch up on their studies so that they wouldn't be caught off guard once enrollment began.
In addition, he also made a separate phone call to the commune, telling Xue Chenglin or Feng Liang and others from the educated youth side to come to the commune to answer the phone at this time tomorrow, depending on who is convenient.
Some things cannot be explained in a letter.
He fully understood the young people who could not go to college and had to go to the countryside to work as sent-down youths. Most of them were young people with a strong sense of justice, and since there was such an opportunity, he did not want them to miss it.
Chen Yin was also curious as to why he didn't call other people to answer the phone.
After coming back from the phone call the next day, Chen Yin asked him.
Yan Jiuru said with a smile: "Whether it's Xue Chenglin or Feng Liang, they all came from the compound, so why are they so righteous? Moreover, they haven't been in the queue for long. Firstly, their families have connections, so they might be able to get more study materials.
Secondly, they know what to say and what not to say, and they are even willing to share study materials with others."
As for other people, they are too contaminated by worldly distractions, so some things are hard to say.
He was obviously doing a good thing, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.
***
Yan Jiuru also made preparations for both scenarios. On the one hand, self-study was one option, and on the other hand, he thought of studying with Professor Qian.
Neither he nor Chen Yin is in the education field, so some information still needs to be obtained from professionals.
Professor Qian was very impressed by Yan Jiuru, a temporary student. He pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that a teacher from the Normal University wants to apply to open a night school cram school. You might as well go and listen."
Yan Jiuru asked about the class start time and address, which was in the Workers' Cultural Palace, not far away.
Yan Jiuru and Chen Yin attended two classes and signed up without hesitation.
The teaching level of the teachers here is much higher than that in the commune, and it is incomparable to self-study at home.
Teachers also know that time is limited, so they give a general overview of the content and then emphasize the key points in the limited time. As a result, the difference between attending class and not attending class becomes more obvious, especially in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Yan Jiuru and Chen Yin tried their best to find time to attend class every night. Even if one of them could not attend, the other would go to listen to the class and bring back the notes to explain it again.

In late November, the news that Xuanguo’s colleges and universities had resumed enrollment was broadcast or reported simultaneously on the radio and in newspapers.
The sound of spring thunder is deafening, and the whole land of China is filled with joy.
This entrance examination has no restrictions on identity, age, or background. Anyone who wants to take the exam can register at the designated registration point of the local education department from now on.
The registration deadline is November 25th.
In addition, there is a pre-examination for this exam, which will be held on the last two days of November. Those who pass the pre-examination can participate in the formal entrance examination on December 10, 11 and 12.
For a time, all the registration points were crowded.
However, Yan Jiuru and the others were well prepared and passed the preliminary exam without any surprises.
However, the pre-exam questions, which Yan Jiuru thought were not much more difficult than the high school graduation exam, still stopped the boss and his group.
This is also the purpose of setting up a preliminary exam, to screen out a group of people whose level is really too poor. Otherwise, if they can't even do basic squares, how can they learn algebra and calculus?
Oh, liberal arts, right? At least I can pass the reading comprehension test, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
