But what about the quota for returning to the city?
Xiao Yichen frowned. Why were there more slots for returning to the city?
It's not that having a quota for returning to the city is bad; on the contrary, they think it's good for educated youth to return to the city.
These educated youth had never worked in the fields since childhood, and they couldn't even distinguish between seedlings and grass.
Even after a long time, many still cannot adapt to the high-intensity labor in rural areas.
They certainly didn't work as much as the farmers, but they didn't receive much less grain.
Here, the standard is always six months of labor and four months of work.
The grain rations were divided into ten portions, six of which were distributed according to the number of people per head. This was fixed, regardless of whether one worked or not.
The remaining four portions were divided according to the amount of labor performed.
Therefore, even if they didn't work, the brigade wouldn't let anyone starve to death.
Some educated youth and commune members started to take advantage of loopholes and didn't work much.
They survive on only the food provided by the six people.
Therefore, these educated youth were not very welcome in rural areas.
Having a quota to return to the city and be able to go back is a good thing for these commune members.
However, every time this spot became available, the educated youth would engage in fierce competition and rivalry.
Everyone should just work honestly and openly, and strive for good performance.
I'm afraid that some people might resort to despicable means and do something dishonorable.
Before they had gone far, Xiao Yichen overheard their conversation again: "It must be true. You didn't see it, did you? Recently, all the educated youth at the settlement have gone crazy, working from dawn till dusk every day."
"With all the corn in our brigade, if it weren't for their relentless work ethic, we probably wouldn't have finished harvesting it today!"
The other person disagreed.
"You're wrong. How can it be credited to the educated youth for harvesting all that corn? How many of them were there? How much could they possibly do? It was mostly us who did the harvesting."
"You're right, but we're still under their crazy influence, aren't we? We've gotten angry at them too, we can't let them outdo us."
"You have a point!"
"Of course!"
When Xiao Yichen arrived at his doorstep, these people were still whispering among themselves.
Xiao Yichen: This was the first time he had realized that the men in his village loved gossiping about this family and that family so much!
Once home, Xiao Yichen stopped moving.
The gate was wide open, and the scenery in the courtyard was almost the same as when I left.
But it was already autumn.
The leaves of the various plants in the yard were turning slightly yellow, giving off a desolate feeling.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yichen stepped into the courtyard.
Su Ruobai was cooking in the yard.
She's been learning how to do these things lately.
We can't live off money forever.
Moreover, she also noticed that Qian Huan had been quite busy lately, seemingly searching everywhere for high school textbooks.
I guess they took what I said to heart.
Now, everyone in the educated youth settlement is busy trying to make a good impression.
What about learning from Lei Feng and doing good deeds? What about working hard and striving to be advanced?
In short, just do your best.
Since Wang Wu arrived, he inadvertently mentioned that the commune had two slots for returning to the city.
The entire educated youth settlement went crazy.
Su Ruobai tried hard to recall the contents of the book, but he really couldn't remember such a thing!
Did I miss something again?
However, she didn't really care.
While I was busy with something, I felt a familiar presence approaching.
Hearing the steady footsteps, Su Ruobai put down the soup spoon in her hand and looked out of the courtyard gate.
Then she saw the person who had been appearing in her dreams recently, standing at the door.
Su Ruobai was stunned!
'
She felt her heart beating even faster!
She could even hear the thumping of her heart!
Only one thought occupied his mind: Xiao Yichen is back!
She's gotten darker, thinner, and there's something in her eyes that I can't understand!
Xiao Yichen also saw his wife standing in the yard.
Her skin became fairer and more rounded, and her demeanor became more gentle.
The moment my eyes saw myself, a glimmer of light seemed to flash across them.
Then, he saw his wife's expression change from shock to joy.
Then, it ran over.
He was still calling out his own name, "Xiao Yichen".
Filled with joy, excitement, happiness, and surprise!
Xiao Yichen also dropped his luggage, ran two steps forward, and then Su Ruobai threw herself into Xiao Yichen's arms.
Burying her face in the man's chest, Su Ruobai's tears fell.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Su Ruobai cried very sadly.
After rubbing herself vigorously against Xiao Yichen's clothes, Su Ruobai finally spoke, "Xiao Yichen, where have you been? Why are you only coming back now? I missed you so much!"
Xiao Yichen held Su Ruobai tightly.
He gently stroked his wife's shoulder.
Feeling the warmth in my arms and the throbbing of my heartbeat.
It's perfect, it's perfect! My wife finally has me in her heart!
At the same time, he secretly vowed that he must not let his wife know about the stupid thing he had done.
He couldn't bear the consequences.
Adjust your mindset.
Xiao Yichen's Adam's apple bobbed before he finally spoke, "I'm back now, aren't I? Su Su, are you alright?"
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally had a lot to talk about.
Xiao Yichen took things out of his luggage.
These are all local specialties brought from the sea.
All kinds of food.
He hadn't forgotten that back then, he had won over his wife by offering her a few pounds of pork.
Su Ruobai looked at the table full of food.
He squinted his eyes happily.
These cannot be purchased in Liaoning Province.
