In December, before the school started its summer vacation, Guo Aiming sent a telegram asking Li Jinfeng for her opinion. She wanted to quit her job in Jiangbei and go to Nan Province to reunite with Zhao Mingcheng's family.
Li Jinfeng sent her a telegram in reply, asking her to apply to the school to see if she could join the first group of students going to the countryside to work in the construction sector, located in the Hongqi Brigade in Anwu County, Nan Province. Or... she could become a teacher at the Xingfu Commune Primary School, where the Hongqi Brigade was located.
When she went to the brigade, she could only do farm work and live on work points like the farmers.
By going to the commune primary school, she can still get a salary from the government, but it is definitely lower than that in Jiangbei.
The biggest convenience of these two options is that you can keep your job at the school in Jiangbei, which will make it convenient for you to come back in the future.
However, it is not easy to achieve either of these two points. I have to discuss it with Zhao Zhongxing and ask him to think of a solution.
Not long after Li Jinfeng's telegram was replied, Guo Aiming wrote back again. She chose the second method provided by Li Jinfeng and went to teach in the commune primary school.
She contacted Zhao Mingcheng as Li Jinfeng said, and then asked Zhao Mingcheng to find Zhao Zhongxing to contact the commune primary school.
In short, during the winter vacation, she went to the southern province, and when the commune primary school opened the following year, she would be able to teach there.
…
Guo Aiming's problem was solved, and Li Jinfeng also welcomed a group of educated young people, a total of ten, from all over the country.
The youngest graduated from junior high school, and two years later, he was directly issued a high school diploma. He is now sixteen years old.
The oldest one graduated from high school. The school was closed for two years, but he still got a high school diploma and is twenty years old this year.
Captain Hong received a notice that he had to arrange accommodation for this group of people, and of course the state would subsidize part of the money.
In addition, their food problem was also taken care of by the state in the early stage, but when the brigade distributed food for the first time, they had to be self-reliant.
During this period, they had to go to work and go home with the other people in the team, and earn work points together.
Captain Hong doesn't have to worry about the food problem, because there is the country. Even if things don't work out, their brigade still has food reserves, so those intellectuals from the city will definitely not starve to death. On the contrary, the accommodation problem is a big problem.
The brigade used to have a few abandoned buildings, which are now used as primary schools and were originally warehouses used to store grain.
But now, that is the site of the brigade's Dongfanghong Primary School, and it has not been completed yet. We can't let the educated youth go there, right?
So Captain Hong called several cadres from the brigade and the captains of each production team to ask for their opinions.
Everyone was talking at once, each saying their own thing, but no one got to the point.
"How about... asking Propaganda Officer Li for his opinion?" Zhu Xiaoqin, the women's director, said.
Captain Hong nodded and said, "Okay, go call Comrade Li over."
Li Jinfeng was called to the village office by Director Zhu, only to find out that he wanted her to find a way to accommodate the educated youth from the city.
After thinking it over, Li Jinfeng suggested, "We don't have the capacity to provide them with a housing unit for the educated youth right now. The school says they're going to build one, but it's not even finished yet. There's no way they can stay there temporarily. How about...letting them stay at the team members' homes for now? We'll see if we can find a way to build a housing unit for them or find another place."
Strictly speaking, the school can be temporarily rented out, but once the school is built and students go to class, it can no longer be rented out.
Only teachers can stay there to take care of the students.
