The passing of the great man has also made everyone confused about the future!
As the whole country was in such a mood, many saboteurs emerged and destroyed collective property on a large scale!
Since the educated youth had no intention of working, many of them did not want to be tied to the land and be farmers for the rest of their lives, so many of them started small-scale chain reactions!
The educated youth of that era were very envious of the large-scale chain reaction that was popular across the country in the 1960s.
Most of my family members have relatives who participated in the great movement in the 1960s.
Moreover, the teachers and students who participated in the big chain-up at that time had all their transportation, meals and accommodation free of charge.
In this way, you can travel all over the world without spending a penny. The best thing is that you can go to Beijing to watch the flag-raising ceremony and have the opportunity to be received by great people. What a desirable activity!
Although the big chain event only lasted for more than a year, those who participated in it still talk about it with relish many years later.
As for the educated youth in the 1970s, they regretted that they were born ten years too late and missed the good time for the great movement.
Food, accommodation and transportation are all free.
Is there any better activity than this?
Now, many educated youth are no longer focused on the present. They all want to see if they can find a way to transfer back to the city, so many of them have asked for leave or simply skipped work to go around and make connections.
Just go to other educated youth sites to find your classmates or friends, and try to find out if there is any way to find a way to get out of your current predicament!
No money for the train or bus?
Isn’t that simple?
Just evade the ticket!
When most educated youth had no money to go home, they chose to escape, and most of the time, the staff on the train turned a blind eye.
Everyone knows that these educated youth had a hard life in the countryside. Every family has a relative who was an educated youth in the countryside.
Those who left their hometown have to rely on themselves in the countryside and their lives are difficult. They have finally waited for the annual leave to go back to their hometown. It is not good to make things difficult for these children just for a train ticket!
Therefore, many educated youth have a lot of experience in evading train fares!
As for those who really had ways to be transferred back to the city, their families thought that the city was less stable and the situation was more unclear than before. They wrote letters or sent telegrams, asking the children to stay in the countryside and keep a low profile during this period, and then find a way to transfer them back to the city after the dust settled.
For example, Zhang Luyao, Li Xueyu and others also received urgent telegrams from home in recent days, encouraging them to be hardworking and down-to-earth in the countryside, to learn and promote the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, being able to endure hardship, and seeking out hardship, and not to be affected by external factors, but to stay in the countryside and work hard!
Anyway, they were given a lot of inspirational words. Since it was a telegram, it didn't say too much, but the meaning was obvious that they should not be affected and stay in the countryside honestly!
After all, Li Xueyu and his friends grew up in that kind of environment, and they more or less understand that the current situation is not very stable. Their families hope that they can hide in the countryside and spend this period of time!
Therefore, they all behaved themselves and stayed in the countryside, going to work and getting off work on time every day, not daring to make any mistakes.
If others asked them about their thoughts on the current situation and subsequent developments, they all pretended to be confused.
When asked about it, he just said:
"I'm in the countryside, there are definitely a lot of things I don't know!"
"My family just told us to work hard in the village, and they didn't say anything else!"
"How could I possibly understand the current situation? I just follow orders and work hard in the countryside! I don't know anything else!"
…
Zhang Luyao and Xu Nanxing both knew what would happen next, and it would remain unclear for a long time!
In fact, Xu Nanxing has a very vague impression of this part of modern history.
In Xu Nanxing’s previous impression, he always thought that what would happen next was the end of the Cultural Revolution, the rise of Deng Xiaoping, the resumption of the college entrance examination, and the beginning of reform and opening up!
Everything went smoothly and the country gradually embarked on the path of prosperity and strength!
But after Xu Nanxing traveled through time and began to study this period carefully, she realized that nothing was smooth sailing.
It was all thanks to the trial and error of our predecessors that we finally found the smooth road!
In the meantime, there was a period of taking the wrong path and then correcting it!
All of this was achieved thanks to Grandpa Deng’s efforts to turn the tide!
Although they knew the twists and turns of the process, Xu Nanxing and the others did not reveal a single detail to the outside world. They just hoped that the day of light would come soon!
…
Just when Xu Nanxing and others were keeping a low profile, a piece of bad news came back along with the educated youth who were connecting with each other everywhere.
In the Northeast, there is a state-owned enterprise. Because the employees in the factory have no intention of going to work recently, many employees have skipped work to attend various propaganda rallies.
Although the factory leaders were dissatisfied with the employees' willingness to participate in political rallies and receive political education, no one dared to say anything during such a special period. They would rather do less and make fewer mistakes than do more. This was basically the lesson learned in the past ten years!
As a result, the factory was shut down for a while as most of the employees were absent from work.
Of course, this situation is not uncommon across the country.
But this factory is particularly unlucky.
One night, employees inside the factory colluded with outsiders, entered the factory area and stole collective assets.
It would have been fine if it was just stealing, but this group of people were discovered by other people in the factory while they were stealing.
Stealing collective property is a serious crime, especially in these uncertain times. I’m afraid that those above me will use it as an example to scare others, and the consequences could be very serious.
This group of people were really brave. In order to escape smoothly, they just set fire to the factory.
As a result, the thieves successfully escaped with the stolen supplies. The people in the factory had no time to catch the thieves as they were all busy putting out the fire in the factory.
Unfortunately, although the most valuable machinery and other large assets in the factory were not stolen by the thieves, they were burned by the fire.
Many people who were fighting the fire were also burned and scalded to varying degrees. The factory suffered heavy losses!
After hearing the news, Zhang Luyao immediately strengthened the security of the non-staple food factory, fearing that someone would take advantage of the situation!
