Chapter 212 Not Going
If you don't go out and look for newspapers in the countryside, you will never see anything like it.
Furthermore, among those who came here and said they could read, there were actually more who were partially literate and half-illiterate.
Some read haltingly, and some only read half of the words.
Of course, Fu Jingyou also had his moments of stumbling, but at home, Lu Miao always corrected him, so his situation was much better than others.
Someone chose the same content as him.
It took him one minute to read a passage, while the person who was selected later took four or five minutes. It was clear at a glance who was better and who was worse.
The county leader observed everyone's expressions.
Reading newspapers not only verifies one's academic credentials, but also tests one's courage in disguise.
If you are so timid at your own doorstep, won't you be scared when you go to a big city?
When rural people go to the city, everything is unknown, and it is almost inevitable that they will encounter embarrassing or ridiculous things.
It’s okay to embarrass yourself, but you can’t embarrass yourself and not learn any skills at the same time.
All aspects of his qualifications were outstanding, and with Hu Zhiyuan's indirect hints to enhance his impression, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Fu Jingyou would be selected.
The county announced that there were four study places available, but in the end six people were left.
Two of them are substitutes. If any of the four favored players cannot go due to unexpected circumstances, one of the other two will be chosen to replace him.
The unsuccessful candidates left one after another, and Fu Jingyou was taken from the county office compound to the leadership office along with five other people.
The personnel have been temporarily determined, and the next step is to discuss the detailed regulations.
We will set off in a week and the study will last for four months. The company will provide accommodation, and we will be responsible for all other food expenses ourselves.
After completing their studies, the county will directly set up an equipment contracting and repair team. The basic salary is 25 yuan per month, and meals are provided in the canteen. If they are involved in taking apprentices in the future, there will be additional subsidies.
When working in a production team, the wealth of each production team was different, and the work points received were also different.
For example, the land in Yanji Commune is fertile, the harvest is good, and there are many sideline projects.
The same strong laborer can earn ten work points a day, but their work points are worth more, one work point can be worth three or five cents.
The land in Dahe Village is barren and the output is low. On average, one work point may be converted into only one and a half cents or two cents per year.
After working in the fields for a whole year, he only earned enough food to eat and could not even earn a penny from the remaining work points.
Compared with the treatment of this equipment contracting and repair team, one is in heaven and the other is in the mud.
Several young men, including Fu Jingyou, were filled with excitement.
But Fu Jingyou did not forget one thing.
When the leader seemed to have something to say in advance, he stepped forward and asked:
"If there are holidays during the study period, can we come back?"
"return?"
The leader was slightly stunned and shook his head.
"It's such a long way. Even if you can take a day off every now and then, let alone come back again, there won't be enough time even to come back to this side."
Fu Jingyou frowned slightly and said puzzledly:
"Isn't Jingmen right next to our county?"
When some people outside were clamoring before, the leader said that people should go to "Jingmen" to study, and Fu Jingyou heard it clearly.
Jingmen is right next to the county. If he has a day off, he can go there in advance to buy long-distance bus tickets.
It’s okay to have some trouble, as long as I can go home.
He doesn't want others to pay for him. He can go back to his own home because he has money.
"Comrade, we are going to Jinmen City in the north, the one next to Beijing City, not the one in our province."
The leader reacted for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and laughed:
"That place is quite far from here. It takes more than ten hours to get there by train."
“…”
It’s Tianjin, not Jingmen.
Fu Jingyou was stunned for a moment.
A round trip takes more than ten hours. Even if you take two days off, you won’t be able to stay at home for a long time when you rush back.
Besides, H Province is small and trains are not always available.
Basically, you just go there once and then you have to stay there for four months.
Fu Jingyou was always worried when Lu Miao was alone at home, not to mention that Lu Miao was pregnant at the time.
Without thinking, Fu Jingyouling pursed his lips and opened his mouth to speak.
Hu Zhiyuan, who was standing by, saw his expression and quickly spoke:
"This is a rare opportunity for everyone here. We'll be leaving in a week."
"During this period, everyone can go back and communicate with their families. If there are any special circumstances, they can explain them in a timely manner."
Hu Zhiyuan cleverly supplemented the leader's words, and the leader nodded with satisfaction:
"That's the truth."
The words "communicate with the family members" that Hu Zhiyuan emphasized also attracted Fu Jingyou's attention.
For Fu Jingyou, there is nothing to discuss about this matter.
There was no way he could leave.
Fu Jingyou wanted to say something else, but Hu Zhiyuan suddenly started coughing and winked at him.
Fu Jingyou frowned, thinking that Lu Miao might have said something to Hu Zhiyuan, so he said nothing more.
After the leader finished speaking, he asked them to go back first. If they have any subsequent questions, they can come here and talk about them.
Fu Jingyou left the office, and Hu Zhiyuan took the initiative to follow him:
"Did you mean to say no?"
Fu Jingyou looked at him without saying anything.
It's very clear what his expression means.
Hu Zhiyuan nodded and chuckled, saying:
"I knew it. I expected it."
Fu Jingyou heard something and asked:
"You knew you were going to Tianjin a long time ago. Did you tell Lu Miao?"
Hu Zhiyuan nodded and told the story of that day truthfully:
"I didn't realize Comrade Xiaobao was pregnant when I went there. After I learned about the situation, I knew you definitely wouldn't go."
"But she still made it clear that the county still needs to take care of things... I guess she has her reasons for doing so."
As Hu Zhiyuan spoke, he suddenly extended his index finger and pointed at the air:
"Let me remind you, whether you want to go or not, it's best to go back and discuss this with Comrade Xiaobao and ask her opinion before making a decision."
"Otherwise, there will definitely be a quarrel later."
Hu Zhiyuan is an experienced person. His family has fought similar situations for eight hundred rounds.
Fu Jingyou knew what was going on, and patted Hu Zhiyuan on the shoulder with his big hand. Fu Jingyou said "thank you" and then walked away.
Fu Jingyou used up all the expiring tickets in the county. Thinking of what Lu Miao said, that eating more nuts during pregnancy is good for both the body and the baby, he went to weigh a few pounds of nuts.
After tinkering with the work, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the production team.
Lu Miao rarely went out after she became pregnant, so Fu Jingyou went straight home with his things.
When I got to the door, I bumped into the lock.
I think Lu Miao must have gone to the He family.
Fu Jingyou found the key on the nail behind the door bolt, went into the house to put his things away, and then went to He's house to pick up Lu Miao.
As soon as the person entered the room, there was a noise at the outer door.
Thinking that Lu Miao had returned, Fu Jingyou quickly stopped what he was doing and started packing:
“Miaomiao…”
