As Mo Shihao and others were forcibly taken away from Qingshan Village, this small village that was originally shrouded in haze finally slowly returned to its former tranquility.
During the entire long and bleak winter, Yue Yue stayed quietly at home, immersing herself completely in studying.
She was concentrating on studying the books that she had found with great difficulty from the recycling station, as if she could find the light of hope for the future in these yellowed papers.
In order to review her lessons better, Yue Yue wrote a heartfelt letter to her father-in-law who was far away in the city, in which she earnestly requested him to send her some textbooks he used during school.
She hopes that through these textbooks, she can better fight for her future in this remote mountain village.
Gu Changmu also resolutely joined the learning team.
Ever since he came here ignorantly at the age of fourteen, he has been busy with heavy and boring work as if being pushed by the wheel of fate.
As the years passed, much of the junior high school knowledge had gradually faded from his memory and was almost completely forgotten.
While Yue Yue was studying eagerly herself, she also patiently and meticulously helped Gu Changmu review the old knowledge that was once familiar but had become unfamiliar.
Although Gu Changmu was fully aware of Yue Yue's good intentions and knew that she sincerely hoped that he could have a better future, he was not sure whether he still had the opportunity to take the college entrance examination.
After all, so many years have passed, and during this long time, I have never heard any news about the college entrance examination.
The dream I once had seemed to be buried in the dust of time and became out of reach.
In this way, the two of them accompanied each other in this cold winter and spent a time full of hope and confusion together.
As spring approaches, the villagers become busy again and actively prepare for spring plowing.
With their longing and expectation for the new year, they carefully plowed the land again, and the turned soil exuded the scent of the earth.
They wait patiently for the weather to get warmer so that they can happily sow potatoes, wheat, corn and other crops, looking forward to a good harvest in the fall.
Just when everyone was enthusiastically preparing for spring plowing, the team leader came rushing over from the commune with an excited look on his face, bringing exciting good news.
Zhou Jiabao and Zhou Jianjun were punished for intentional injury resulting in death - eating peanuts (and being shot).
This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves in the village.
However, since Tian Xin did not kill anyone, his crime was relatively mitigated and he was sentenced to more than ten years in prison.
As for Mo Shihao, because he destroyed the unity of the educated youth and harmed them, he was eventually asked to be sent to a farm for labor reform.
And, to return to where he came from, he must stay on the farm for a full year.
After hearing this news, Yue Yue felt a lot more relieved.
After all, life would naturally be better without a "venomous snake" staring at you every day.
Despite this, Yue Xin should not be underestimated.
As for Mo Shihao, after being sent to the hospital, he was rescued by the medical staff. He finally struggled back from the brink of life and death and woke up safely.
During the days in the hospital, time seemed to be particularly long.
Not long after, his injuries recovered under the doctor's careful care.
He thought he would be able to return to the village soon and continue his previous life.
But what he never expected was that on that day, several public security comrades came to his ward with serious expressions.
When the public security comrades saw that his injuries had healed and he was no longer seriously ill, they took him out of the hospital and sent him to the Youth League Office.
After arriving at the Youth League Office, Comrade Gong described in detail to the staff the mistakes and illegal acts he had committed with a serious attitude.
After the Youth League Office learned of this, after careful consideration, it decided to deal with him seriously and sent him directly to Songbei Farm for labor reform.
Mo Shihao was sent to Songbei Farm. As soon as he got off the car, he was dumbfounded. What he saw before him was an endless wasteland.
The desolate scene made him feel an indescribable sense of powerlessness.
It turned out that their mission was to reclaim wasteland and grow crops here.
In this vast and barren land, Mo Shihao seemed to see his hard working life in the future.
But now that things have come to this, he knows he has no choice but to accept this reality silently, work hard to change himself, and strive to return to normal life as soon as possible.
Recently, Yue Xin actually successfully found a new "meal ticket" for herself, that is, the son-in-law of the village chief.
Yue Xin has a face as fresh and refined as a little white flower. Her appearance is just like a flower blooming in spring, which makes all the men in the village fall in love with her.
The village chief's son-in-law, in particular, has a special liking for this kind of gentle and soft-spoken girls.
In recent times, the two of them have been in frequent contact.
The reason why Yue Xin was able to avoid starvation during the cold winter was all thanks to the generous help of the village chief's son-in-law.
Their interactions are extremely secretive, like a secret hidden in the dark. Without careful observation, ordinary people would find it difficult to detect the subtle changes.
However, the most crucial problem is that the guy actually has other lovers, including Widow Zhang at the west end of the village.
When Widow Zhang was young, her husband went hunting in the mountains and never returned. No one saw him alive, nor did they see his body.
From then on, she took on the responsibility of raising the child alone.
At that time, her family was extremely poor. In order to survive, she had no choice but to bow to reality and make a living so that she could support herself and her children.
She is actually a kind person, but she has to make concessions due to the helplessness of life.
The village chief's family particularly likes educated people. In addition, the village chief's son-in-law is eloquent and good at speaking, and he can always serve the village chief's family comfortably.
Although some villagers who knew about this matter knew about it, they did not dare to reveal a word to the village chief for fear of retaliation from the village chief.
For a time, the village chief's son-in-law lived like a fish in water.
Recently, the places for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University were announced, and Qingshan Village also had one. Everyone was eyeing this place, and the village chief's son-in-law was no exception.
He was eager to seize this opportunity, change his destiny and pave a brighter road for his future.
The village chief was also actively working for him, hoping that he could get this precious spot, but Yue Yue remembered that in his previous life, he did not go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University but was admitted to a university instead.
The quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University went to a female educated youth who went to the countryside two years ago. It seems that there must be another hidden story!
