Everyone ate noodles at Lin Dajun's house and then went back to rest.

Lin Yiyi: "Dajun, ride your bike with me to the Datang Production Brigade."

Lin Dajun: “Hey.”

When they arrived at Lin Yiyi's house, Lin Yiyi took out 30 kilograms of rice and 30 kilograms of whole grains. This was food for Ying Lao and Ying Shuang. Lin Sanjun's land was given to Lin Dajun for planting. Logically speaking, the food came from Lin Dajun's family, and Lin Dajun was the eldest brother. But Lin Yiyi was not short of food, and Lin Sanjun had to be taken care of by Lin Dajun during this period, so she had to provide the food.

Lin Yiyi brought food and vegetables. The Yings were going to live in the Lin family for about two years, and they were planning to cook for themselves. This was their own suggestion, because they would feel uncomfortable eating at the Lin family for two years, so Lin Yiyi prepared some vegetables for them.

When they arrived at the Lin family, Lin Dajun helped move the food and vegetables into Lin Sanjun's house. While they were moving things, Captain Lin came.

Captain Lin: "Yiyi, are you free now?"

Lin Yiyi: "Uncle, I'm free, what can I do for you?"

Captain Lin: "Why don't we talk while we walk?" Given his and Lin Yiyi's age and relationship, even if they studied privately, they wouldn't attract gossip.

Lin Yiyi: “Okay.”

So, the two of them walked and talked, and they walked to the other side of the mountain. Captain Lin saw that there was no one around, so he said: "I attended a meeting in the commune a few days ago. The president gave our village a quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Who do you think is more suitable in our village? I think Dajun is good." Captain Lin had reasons to mention Lin Dajun. First, Lin Dajun is the only high school student in the village. Second, Lin Dajun is his son-in-law. So considering the two points, Lin Dajun is the most suitable. Even if he mentioned Lin Dajun, others would not say that he was biased, because there were no other high school students in the brigade.

Lin Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "Dajun is not going. You can choose one from the educated youth. There is no suitable person in our village, so it is very appropriate to choose one from the educated youth. First of all, the educated youth have higher education and are more suitable than the people in our village. Secondly, if the educated youth know that they can get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University if they perform well, they will definitely pay more attention in the future. Of course, if you choose an educated youth, you don't have to specify it. Let the villagers vote for themselves. This way, it means that this is a fair and just selection, and it will not attract other people's gossip." However, even if they voted by themselves, Zhang Xiaojun would definitely have the highest number of votes. First, everyone knows the relationship between their Lin family and Zhang Xiaojun. Second, Zhang Xiaojun has been here for four or five years. In order to get a teacher's quota every semester, he can escape the hard work of working in the fields. His performance is very good. He distributed the five kilograms of grain that was rewarded to the educated youth group leader every month to other educated youth. Every two months, he would exchange the grain for meat coupons, then buy a few ounces of meat. He would use the meat to cook porridge and treat the educated youth to a meal. In this way, the educated youth owed him a favor, and his position as a teacher each semester became more secure.

It has to be said that Zhang Xiaojun took great pains to make his life easier, just like when he adopted himself out in order to live a good life.

Lin Yiyi originally thought that Zhang Xiaojun's going to the countryside would be detrimental to their family and the Lin family, but so far, Zhang Xiaojun has not done so.

Zhang Xiaojun did not do so and did not fight for anything with the Lin family for a reason. First, he was not qualified to fight. In this situation, he saw the influence of Lin Yiyi and the Lin family in the brigade, so he thought it would be better for him to get along well with the Lin family. Second, it must be said that the Lin family also took care of him in the past few years. Although he used grain every time he exchanged meat tickets with the Lin family, the Lin family would send them vegetables and eggs from time to time. During festivals, they would also invite them to eat together. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Zhang Xiaojun to say that he had no feelings. Third, he had money and bills. He had several hundred yuan in cash, and the bills were sent to him by the Fang family every month. Apart from not being a worker, he really had everything he needed, so he didn't need to scheme against the Lin family. So over the years, his relationship with the Lin family was still good.

Captain Lin: "Don't you want the army?"

Lin Yiyi said: "After graduating from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, they will be workers, which is not much different from the current Dajun. Moreover, after three or four years, it is not appropriate for Xiaozhen and her daughter to be alone at home. Besides, Dajun's personality is not the kind of person who will not fight. It is more appropriate for him to be a worker at home and take care of Xiaozhen and her daughter." The main thing is that the college entrance examination will be restored in seven years. By then, there will be no difference between the workers, peasants and soldiers university and high school students. So if necessary, Lin Dajun can take the college entrance examination, whether it is an undergraduate or a junior college. Even junior college students in the early 1980s were also very valuable.

Actually, there was another reason. After the reform and opening up, Lin Yiyi planned to let Lin Dajun and his wife start a small business, so she felt that it was even more unnecessary for them to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. In this way, Zhang Xiaojun could go because he had done well in the past few years. It was impossible to let Zhang Xiaojun wait for seven years for the college entrance examination. After all, no one except her knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed after seven years.

Captain Lin listened to Lin Yiyi's words and no longer felt entangled. Although he hoped that his son-in-law would go to college, it would sound better to say it to others, but he was also concerned about his daughter. What if his son-in-law saw the outside world and fell in love with another woman? Thinking about the current conditions of his son-in-law's family, and his son-in-law was a worker, he didn't want to bother.

Captain Lin: "One more thing. Regarding the matter of Ying's medical clinic, I will vacate the place immediately. What about his salary and so on? Does he have any idea?"

Lin Yiyi had already discussed these things with Dr. Ying when he came over: "Dr. Ying is very good at medicine, one of the best doctors in the country. He is now retired because of his age. Now he came here by chance to treat my brother's leg. So we must respect and value Dr. Ying very much."

Captain Lin: "It's as they should be." Oh my God, a national-level magic weapon, the captain couldn't imagine it. He was a little excited, but at the same time he was worried that they might not be able to pay the wages.

Lin Yiyi: "Doctor Ying said that he doesn't want a salary, and he doesn't need to calculate work points. Just give him 30 kilograms of food every month. And as for medicine, it costs money to get medicine from the hospital. You need money from the brigade to get it, so the villagers have to pay for the medicine. But if he goes up the mountain to collect the medicine himself, then he doesn't have to pay."

Captain Lin talked with Lin Yiyi for a while, and then they went back. After returning, Captain Lin began to solve the problem of the clinic. Lin Yiyi went to the Lin family, and she told Lin Dajun about the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. After all, this place originally belonged to Lin Dajun, but Lin Yiyi refused. She had to talk to her brother. Lin Dajun didn't care. He didn't have an obsession with the university. As long as he could eat his fill, Lin Dajun was satisfied. He actually had no requirements for marriage and having children. His life was all about eating his fill.

Lin Yiyi: "...or do you want to go to Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"

Lin Dajun shook his head: "I'll listen to my sister." Anyway, he knew that his eldest sister was the smartest and it was always right to listen to her.

Lin Yiyi said: "That's fine... Regarding the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, it will be selected from the educated youth. You can say hello to the Second Army. You don't have to say too much, just say you refused and let him pay attention to it." Even if Dajun doesn't go, this is the quota that Dajun turned down. If you do a good thing, you have to speak out, at least let the other party know. This is Lin Yiyi's idea, otherwise doing good things will be meaningless.

Lin Dajun: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi gave some instructions and went home. After dinner, Lin Dajun went to the old house and called Zhang Xiaojun out.

Zhang Xiaojun: "Brother, why are you here?"

Lin Dajun: "My elder sister told me about the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but I refused. The next quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University will be selected from among the educated youth, and the villagers will vote to choose."

Zhang Xiaojun was surprised when he heard this, then frowned, but he said, "Thank you, big brother." He knew that if Lin Dajun had not refused, the educated youth would have no chance, and if the educated youth had no chance, he would have no chance. In the past five years, at the beginning, he thought about returning to the city every day, and often wrote to his adoptive parents, hoping that they could find a way to transfer him back. But he didn't receive a reply again and again, and he was disappointed. He felt that he had no hope. Later, Fang Fang became pregnant and gave birth to a child. He felt like a fallen leaf returning to his roots. Now it is different from the famine years. He has grown up and will not be hungry. But, perhaps for the sake of a breath of fresh air, he still wants to go back to the city.

But now that the opportunity had come, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He started a family and had children here, so he could go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Of course, although his place has not been confirmed yet, if he were to choose among the educated youth, Zhang Xiaojun would be confident. First, because he knows how to behave, and second, because although he was adopted, he was still a member of the brigade. If he became a university student, the brigade would have some reputation.

Lin Dajun and Zhang Xiaojun were talking outside, and it was not good for others to hear such things. After Lin Dajun left, Zhang Xiaojun also went home. Seeing Fang Fang playing with her son and hearing her son's laughter, Zhang Xiaojun's eyes darkened.

Fang Fang: "You're back? What did brother tell you?"

Zhang Xiaojun: "Nothing much...just..."

Fang Fang: "What's the matter? You look like you are worried." After having a child, Fang Fang changed from a simple girl to a sensible mother.
