It was Lin Jin who reacted first: "Wanyue, why are you here? Do you know how to play cards?"
Yuan Zhanrun, who had just become an elementary school teacher, gave up his seat: "Wanyue, you sit here and play some hooligans."
Jiang Wanyue hurriedly said, "Don't worry, let me watch a few games first to learn, so that I won't be tricked by you guys."
Everyone started playing cards. Jiang Wanyue learned a bit and then went to the table. Each game was one cent, so he didn't feel bad about losing some money.
While playing cards, she was not idle, and chatted with several educated youth about their family matters. After a short while, she got to know the family situations of these educated youths.
Most of them are from this province, with only two from other provinces. Because there are no extra jobs at home, they have to go to the countryside.

Jiang Wanyue asked, "Are you still studying and reading?"
A female educated youth shook her head and said, "I have too much farm work to do every day, so how can I have time to read? Besides, reading is useless."
Another person said, "It should be useful. Wasn't it because Yuan Zhanrun read books every day that he was chosen as an elementary school teacher? He doesn't have to work so hard in the fields to earn work points."
The educated youth were all high school students and city dwellers. They suffered a lot doing farm work and often failed to complete their assigned tasks. Their work points were deducted. It was common to get only four or five work points a day. Many of them needed to rely on money sent by their families to supplement their income so that they could have enough to eat.
Jiang Wanyue looked up and said, "Reading more books is definitely beneficial. I plan to buy a variety of books and put them in the elementary school. If anyone needs them, they can borrow them."
The college entrance examination will be resumed in two years. This is a great opportunity for the educated youth to return to the city. She hopes they can seize this opportunity.
