The wind blows and the clouds roll, the sun rises and sets, and the days pass by quickly.
That day, Xu Zhiyi was making medicine in his own pharmacy when he heard a knock on the door in the yard.
Gan Tiantian came to find Xu Zhiyi. After entering the door, Gan Tiantian talked about an important matter concerning the educated youth.
"Zhiyi, the educated youth have recently heard that Xiangyang Village has a quota for workers, peasants and soldiers to study at the university this year. Many people are talking about it, but I don't know if it's true."
"I didn't notice it. Let's wait for the village chief to notify me." Xu Zhiyi was not interested and didn't care.
Worker-peasant-soldier college students are quite popular, but there are very few places available, and the villagers can almost decide who gets the place and who will go.
After graduating from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, the school will assign jobs to you, which is not better than working.
Xiangyang Village hasn't been allocated a quota for many years, but somehow it got one this year.
This was undoubtedly an opportunity for the educated youth.
But there is only one spot available, and the educated youth in the training center all have their own thoughts, so the atmosphere feels weird.
"Anyway, this should be true, because I once went to the village committee and accidentally overheard the village chief and the old accountant discussing quotas in the room, about the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
Gan Tiantian looked mysterious and dramatic, secretly looking around to see if anyone else was eavesdropping.
They were in the yard, how could there be other people?
"Tiantian, do you want to fight for this spot?" Xu Zhiyi asked.
"Me, no. Although I went to high school, my grades weren't very good. Besides, I think it's good to live in the village. I don't want to go to school far away by myself in an unfamiliar place."
Gan Tiantian is cheerful all day long, and even doing heavy and tedious farm work does not make her complain.
Most of the credit goes to Fang Kai. Fang Kai did his own farm work and also helped Gan Tiantian from time to time.
If the work is too heavy and too hard, let Gan Tiantian do less. The little girl's work points are not enough for her to live on in a year.
I really don’t feel full.
Gan Tiantian's family received a lot of subsidies, so at least she didn't go hungry in the countryside.
Fang Kai would also feed her, and Gan Tiantian was used to it, as it had been like this since she was a child.
Her dependence on Fang Kai has been formed since childhood, and Fang Kai is willing to spoil her.
Although working in the village is hard, at least life is peaceful and the storms outside will not blow here.
Gan Tiantian, who grew up in a pampered environment, took her a long time to adapt and gradually learned to find joy in adversity and to enjoy gossip.
"Then your Fang Kai has no ideas?" Xu Zhiyi asked tentatively.
"He has no ideas. There is only one spot. If he leaves, who will take care of me?" Gan Tiantian said this with confidence.
She knew Fang Kai well enough and he would not leave her alone.
"Are you sure you don't want to ask him? What if he wants to go to college too?"
"Impossible, he won't abandon me." Gan Tiantian said very seriously, pouting her lips, with tears faintly in her eyes.
It was the first time Xu Zhiyi saw Gan Tiantian so aggrieved, so he said gently, "It's okay, I just said it casually. It hasn't been decided yet. Besides, there's only one spot, so who can go?"
These words did not comfort Gan Tiantian, but instead made her feel more uneasy.
Xu Zhiyi thought that the college entrance examination would be in two years, and the college entrance examination was much more valuable than the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
When I go to school this year and the college entrance examination is resumed, there will be more talented college students, and the workers, peasants and soldiers college students will be in an awkward situation, not to mention being assigned jobs.
When Gan Tiantian returned, she still looked a little worried.
Just after lunch at noon, the village chief’s voice came from the village loudspeaker.
"Hey, hey, hey~ All villagers, all villagers, gather in the courtyard immediately, gather in the courtyard immediately, for a meeting."
Some villagers who had just finished their meal walked towards the courtyard in groups of three or four.
The meal was ready and I was eating, so I followed him with a bowl in my hand.
Xu Zhiyi lived a little far away, so she couldn't hear clearly. The rocking chair was so comfortable that she felt drowsy.
Fang Yingzi did come.
"Sister Zhiyi, the village chief has called a meeting. Are you going?" The yard door was ajar, and Fang Yingzi pushed it open and entered the yard.
"Let's go and have a listen." Xu Zhiyi followed Fang Yingzi with his eyes fixed.
When we arrived at the courtyard, many villagers had already arrived and were standing in a group.
Xu Zhiyi thought that the educated youth were standing at the back, some distance away from the villagers.
Xu Zhiyi looked for Fang Yingzi in front, and perhaps she squeezed in with the little girl she played well with, and she came to where the educated youth were standing.
Seeing Xu Zhiyi coming over, the expressions of some of the educated youth changed.
Just as Gan Tiantian said, everyone had heard about this matter and had a lot of different thoughts.
After all, there are almost no young people in the village who meet these conditions, and only the educated youth in the educated youth centers have a greater chance.
There is only one spot, so it is very popular.
Gan Tiantian was now fully recovered. Seeing Xu Zhiyi from a distance, she called her over.
Seeing Xu Zhiyi coming over, I wanted to say something to her, but there were too many people around, so some words were not convenient to say, so I had to hold it back.
Xu Zhiyi looked heartless, probably realizing that it was Fang Kai who coaxed the man.
There were many people in the courtyard and it was very noisy. After the village chief came on stage, the villagers who were chatting enthusiastically suddenly shut up.
The village chief stood on the stage without saying a word, and only began to speak after the audience quieted down.
"Last year, our village was the most active in handing in grain. Not only was it the first among the neighboring villages to do so, but the villagers also helped the police crack down on a group of criminals. This was even honored in the county."
"As long as we continue to work hard this year, we may be the first in the village selection at the end of the year."
The village chief said this to encourage the villagers. Xiangyang Village has always ranked third every year, which is quite a distance away from the first and second places.
The first and second villages generated far greater benefits than Xiangyang Village.
Why?
It is because their village has additional economic exchanges and is cooperating with the commune.
Zhoujia Village has a good geographical location and raises a lot of fish.
The live fish supply to the surrounding counties all comes from Zhoujia Village. This benefit is generated every year and is much easier than farming, but the benefits are indeed better than farming.
There is a factory in Liujia Village. Although it is public, it has only benefits and no harm to the development of the village.
Since they can drive the development of the village and bring benefits to the commune, they are naturally favored by the commune. Many welfare honors will be considered for these two villages first.
Xiangyang Village suffers from the fact that they have neither the geographical advantage of Zhoujia Village nor the specialty factory of Liujia Village, and they just focus on farming.
A village chief who doesn’t want to be number one is not a good village chief.
For this purpose, the village chief specially visited the two villages and found that their models were not suitable for Xiangyang Village.
