The reason why the government subsidized the educated youth with 20 kilograms of food was that it was worried that they would not be able to adapt to the countryside when they first arrived and that they would starve to death.

Because this has happened before.

There is an unknown story behind every regulation. No matter how outrageous it seems, it is the fact.

However, the government has a heavy burden and cannot provide subsidies every month. There is only subsidy for the first month, and you have to rely on yourself after that.

Moreover, when they signed up to go to the countryside, the Youth League Office gave each youth more than 100 yuan in resettlement fees, which was enough for them to live on for a while.

However, some families send their children to the countryside just for the resettlement fee of more than one hundred yuan.

The money will never be taken away from them.

In short, the educated youth went to the countryside in the 1950s, and it has been more than 20 years now. Many situations have changed.

When the educated youth arrived in the countryside, most of them had to rely on themselves.

But the countryside is not a dangerous place. As long as you are willing to take off Kong Yiji's gown and work honestly, you can still survive.

Maybe you can live a comfortable life.

After all, from ancient times to the present, people have a natural and inexplicable admiration for those who are cultured and knowledgeable.

I’m afraid that some people have lofty ambitions but fragile lives.

......

When Zhao Xue and Lin Ranran came over, Mai Juncai said directly: "Zhao Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing, there is no room left, you can walk back."

Lin Ranran pointed at the empty seat and said casually, "Isn't this empty?"

"There are four new educated youth this time, this is reserved for them."

Lin Ranran thought about the scene when she first arrived, and thought about others. She said no more and was ready to accept her fate and walk back.

Zhao Xue didn't want to walk, so she clamped her throat and said to Mai Juncai pitifully:

"Brother Juncai, we don't take up much space, so maybe we can squeeze in and sit down. Otherwise, we can sit in the aisle."

Mai Juncai is a straight man. He is a dullard who doesn't understand romance with his wife. He has no idea that Zhao Xue is acting coquettishly with him.

He rejected the other party without hesitation: "No, the aisle should be reserved for luggage. If you take up the space, where will the new educated youth put their luggage?"

Mai Juncai even said something about Zhao Xue:

"Zhao Zhiqing, the great man said that we should carry forward the fine style of hard work and perseverance. It's just a walk, don't be so squeamish."

Seeing this, the villagers who were already on the tractor also began to mock Zhao Xue.

"That's right, Zhao Zhiqing. It's just a walk. Why are you acting like you're going to die? Lin Zhiqing can walk, so why can't you?"

"Zhao Zhiqing, you've been in the countryside for quite a while, right? Why do you still look like you just arrived?"

Meng Guilan seemed to particularly dislike Zhao Xue and said something even more unpleasant:

"Zhao Xue, stop talking so sarcastically. What do you mean by Brother Juncai? Is Juncai your brother? Why do you call him that?

Aren’t you educated youth used to calling people comrades?

I see you have a seductive look, you only know how to seduce people everywhere, it's disgusting to see you, ugh!"

It turned out that it was Meng Guilan’s youngest son He Jiawei who liked Zhao Xue.

Meng Guilan once heard with her own ears that Zhao Xue called her son "Jia Wei Ge", and then her stupid son went to help others with work happily.

He even saved his own food rations and secretly gave them to Zhao Xue.

In fact, it is not uncommon for educated youth to marry local villagers. If her son really likes her, Meng Guilan can accept it.

But Zhao Xue never made a clear statement and just kept He Jiawei hanging to do the work for her.

After a while, Meng Guilan realized what was going on and privately advised her son to give up, saying that the other party simply looked down on them, a peasant family.

But He Jiawei was completely fooled and didn't believe Meng Guilan's words. He was determined to marry Zhao Xue.

He was even trying hard to save money so that he could buy Zhao Xue a three-wheeler and a ring so that she could marry him in a grand ceremony.

Now, Meng Guilan found it particularly irritating to hear Zhao Xue calling Mai Juncai "brother" in a coquettish voice, so she started to get angry without caring about anything.

Zhao Xue was a lesbian after all, and she couldn't stand hearing such words, so she started crying immediately.

At the same time, she did not forget to refute: "Meng Po, how can you say that to me? You are trying to force me to death. I... I won't live anymore!"

After saying that, Zhao Xue pretended to crash into the tractor.

Mai Juncai was quick to act and grabbed Zhao Xue's arm to stop her from committing suicide.

After Lin Ranran reacted and stepped forward to support Zhao Xue, Mai Juncai let go and took a small step back as if to avoid suspicion.

Before, Zhao Xue called him Brother Juncai, and he didn’t think anything of it, but after Meng Guilan said this, he had to pay attention.

Otherwise, if he causes any gossip, Dad will beat him to death.

Lin Ranran was a hot-tempered person. Seeing her companions being forced to commit suicide, how could she bear it?

Then he pointed at the people on the tractor and shouted angrily: "Well, you people from Lianhua Village are really great. You gang up on us educated youth.

It just so happens that this is the commune. I will go to the commune secretary to judge the matter. How can calling someone "big brother" be considered as seducing someone? "

Zhao Xue was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, looking very pitiful. When she heard Lin Ranran's words, she quickly lowered her head to hide the smile on her lips.

Lin Ranran was being used as a gun, but she didn't even realize it and was still trying to stand up for Zhao Xue.

Seeing this, Mai Juncai couldn't let Lin Ranran go to see the commune secretary, so he quickly grabbed her.

"Lin Zhiqing, you misunderstood. We didn't bully Zhao Zhiqing."

Lin Ranran's eyes widened with anger: "Comrade Mai Juncai, I am kindly reminding you that there are differences between men and women. Let go of me immediately, or I will sue you for being a hooligan!"

Mai Juncai quickly let go: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Meng Guilan was a little panicked at this moment. She originally just wanted to vent the resentment accumulated in her heart, but she didn't expect that the other party would go to the commune to complain.

If the team leader knew that it was her who caused Lianhua Village to lose face in front of the commune leaders, she would definitely be criticized.

How is this possible!

Seeing that Mai Juncai couldn't stop Lin Ranran, Meng Guilan quickly jumped out of the car and helped to hold back the impulsive Lin Ranran.

"Lin Zhiqing, I was quick-witted and said something wrong, okay? I'll give you my seat and walk back."

After hearing what Meng Guilan said, Lin Ranran became even angrier.

"What do you mean? We're not trying to grab a position, stop slandering us!"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong again. I am willing to compensate you. Is that okay?"

Just at this moment, Mai Xiangdong came over with four new educated youth.

As soon as he arrived, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he asked his son Mai Juncai.

Mai Juncai briefly recounted what had just happened.

When Zhao Xue saw Mai Xiangdong coming, she quickly wiped away her tears and looked like she understood the bigger picture:

"Captain, I'm sorry, Ran Ran didn't really want to complain, she just got caught up in the conversation.

In the final analysis, this is all my fault. I just couldn't think straight at the moment. Don't blame Ranran."

This statement seemed to be an explanation for Lin Ranran, but in fact it was completely absolving himself of responsibility.

But Lin Ranran was stupid, and inappropriately showed a sense of fearlessness of power. He stiffened his neck and said righteously:

"Zhao Xue, how can you be blamed for this? They are the ones who teamed up to bully others.

Captain, I am not afraid even if you come. Everyone saw what happened just now. I don't believe that you can cover the sky with one hand!"

Mai Xiangdong's face turned pale.

In the end, it was Zhao Xue who persuaded Lin Ranran to stay.

Idiots like Lin Ranran are rare in the world.

Originally, it was just Meng Guilan who said the wrong thing, but she insisted on escalating the conflict into a conflict between the entire Lianhua Village and the educated youth.

She didn't even think about the fact that if she offended everyone in the village, how would her life be easy in the future?
