Chapter 107 Qi Jinsong
When he got home, grandma said that someone had sent a telegram. Long Jianhua opened it and saw that it was sent by Qin Wenbo, with six words written on it, "I signed up for you."
Long Jianhua smiled, turned around and came out of the house and sent six words to the post office, "Check the admission ticket at any time."
After going to Team Ninth in July, I went to his place the night before I returned home. I felt very pleased to see that he had read half of his sixteen books. He still wanted to keep what he learned, and did not want to stay in Team Eight for a long time.
When he got home again, Yunyan had already gone to her study to start studying.
Now there is plenty of houses, and my father has sorted out a study room for himself upstairs, and she has also built one.
Grandma said quietly, "Yunyan is so happy now. After you go out, you chatter and talk to me about registration. She said that she saw some people in her thirties and forties, and she also saw a woman holding Xiaomaomao... Alas, Jianhua, do you really don't want to take the college entrance examination? She will be a college student after passing the exam and will have a decent job in the future."
"Now that our family is rich, we can do a decent job. Jianhua is inferior in everything, but only high school students."
Long Jianhua smiled and hugged her, "Grandma, don't worry, I must come back with a diploma for your grandson. I promise that it will take ten years, so you'll wait."
Grandma muttered, "You said you wanted to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but now you have solved the problem of food. No one can compare with the variety of food, and the clothes are of high quality, so you live in a more relaxed way. If you can, everyone is the same, either riding a bicycle or taking a bus. Only leading cadres have small cars to ride. Xiulin is unwilling to ride a bicycle, and Haoyuan is too far away to ride it, otherwise we can buy it at home casually."
Long Jianhua laughed and said, "Grandma, don't worry, wait until I make money from the coins for a few years before talking about it. If you have nothing to do, take out the money and dry it out every once in a while, don't let them get moldy and broken."
In fact, he was worried. In such an era, the movement of people was imprisoned and the means of production were under control. Even if he had the energy, he had nowhere to use his mind and thoughts.
Even if he has money, he dare not deposit it in the bank, because now there is only one People's Bank of China and three other banks, and there are only a few outlets; if he goes there too many times and the amount is too large, he will inevitably find clues.
At this time, a shout came from outside the door, "Jianhua, Long Jianhua, are you at home?"
Long Jianhua walked to the door and laughed and stretched out his hand to the man outside the door, "Qi Jinsong, when did you come back?"
Qi Jinsong, his high school classmate, is Long Jianhua's best friend. Every time he fights, he is together. This guy will hit Bo Guihua's husband with a stone when he leaves the police station. He is also among the people who bullied Pan Wenhua.
The two left Shajuan City to go to the lineup on the same day, but the place he went to was in the northeast of Hunan Province, which is the area of Huzhou District.
"I just came back and wanted to sign up for the college entrance examination at home. Teacher Gong said you took Yunyan to register, but you didn't. I want to ask why, are you going to stay in that remote mountainous area for the rest of your life?"
"Where can it be? I am now a temporary worker in the fleet under the Industrial Bureau. I only went there in July this year to check it out. Isn't it amazing?"
"Wow, then you are really awesome!"
Grandma walked to the door and said, "Jinsong is here? Come in, Jianhua, what are you two talking about on the street?"
Qi Jinsong laughed and said, "Grandma, Long Jianhua blocked me outside, so he doesn't want me to enter your house. He is now a temporary worker in the fleet and looks down on farmers like me."
Long Jianhua slapped him and then pulled him into the house, "I am also a farmer! I'm just a temporary worker."
Seeing the sofa at home, Qi Jinsong sat on it and moved his butt, "This thing is good, when did you buy it?"
Long Jianhua curled his lips, "What bought it? I made it myself! Let me tell you, the production team I went to the lineup will sell this now. How are you there for more than a year?"
Qi Jinsong laughed, "Very good! There are four educated youth in our production team, and two of us went together, and those two were two years before we went there one year. You don't know how good we were. There is no need to worry about rice there, but we have enough food, but we lack oil and meat."
"What should we do? Other people's chickens and ducks are ours. When they meet, they grab their necks and twist them. As long as their dogs meet us, they will not be able to escape from our meal on the plate. We went late and had no vegetables to eat. No matter who they are from, they are from my house!"
Long Jianhua laughed and said, "No wonder he was not arranged to go to the army this year. It turns out that the reputation of the educated youth has been destroyed by you four, which makes the people scared."
Qi Jinsong curled his lips, "They are afraid, we are not satisfied yet. Think about me, who is only eighteen years old, who has just graduated from high school. He has never done any farm work before, and he works at sunrise and rests at sunset... It's okay if he's a little tired, but he's stuck in the field every day and has to do three days of work a day. Do you think I'm the kind of person who is willing to work hard?"
Qi Jinsong is two years older than Long Jianhua. He started to first grade in elementary school at the age of eight. He is an impatient person and he doesn't care about others' hard work. Like Long Jianhua, although he often fights, his academic performance is good.
This time I came back because the late rice has been harvested and the rice has been obtained, and there is basically no farm work, so I simply took a leave to sign up, and then reviewed at home until the college entrance examination in Shajuan City is over.
Long Jianhua went upstairs to take down a set of self-study books and handed him, "I bought three sets, Yunyan used one set, and another set was given to others. Today you come, and I will give you one set. If another classmate comes first, you will not have your share. So, you are lucky, don't forget to invite me to eat for three days after getting into college."
He looked at Long Jianhua with confusion, "You really don't take the college entrance examination? This is the best opportunity to leave the countryside."
Long Jianhua smiled, "I am a temporary worker now, and I have a serious job. If I have the opportunity, I will still be a formal worker. Isn't it the same thing that I have left the countryside?"
For him who knows the historical trajectory, it doesn’t matter whether he leaves the countryside or not. In the future, some rural areas will be much better than cities. Of course, if you want to get the same treatment, there will be a long process in between, which will last for more than 30 years.
But if you don’t want to stay in the countryside, starting from 1979, the policy will allow educated youth to return to the city one after another, and the evacuation will be basically completed in 1982.
After sitting for about half an hour, Qi Jinsong picked up the book and left.
Grandma wanted to keep him for dinner, and he laughed, "Grandma, I won't eat this time. I still haven't started reading a lot of books. Jianhua gave me this pile of books. I would be sorry for him if I didn't get into college, so I have to go back and study day and night, and forget to eat and sleep."
Grandma slapped him, "Hurry up and go, remember to come and play after the exam."
Looking at Qi Jinsong leaving, grandma sighed, "Jinsong has been suffering for a long time, and it seems that she hasn't grown taller."
