Siheyuan: Starting from Saving Qin Huai Ru

Chapter 597 Returning to the City

"Yo, city people!"

"The sun is shining on your buttocks, can't you afford it?"

A voice reached Yan Jiekuang's ears, causing Yan Jiekuang to turn over and sit up immediately, putting on his clothes in a panic.

Standing at the door was a man in his thirties with yellow teeth.

This person was Yan Jiekuang who jumped in at the beginning, the master assigned to him by the production team and entrusted him to work.

To be honest, no one is willing to do this kind of work - with such a burden, if you can't do the job well, it will only delay earning work points.

If you earn less work points, you will have less food for the next year, so you have to eat less.

Originally, he couldn't get enough to eat, so he relied on sweet potatoes and steamed buns. One can imagine this guy's attitude towards Yan Jiekuang.

Of course, this situation lasted for a while, and this man hurriedly kicked Yan Jiekuang out of the teacher's school, and hurried to earn work points himself.

It's not that people are selfish, it's related to how much they will eat next year, whether they have ample money or not, and there is no room for carelessness.

However, even so, there is still a little bit of a situation.

That is Yan Jiekuang and other urban youths who went to the countryside to jump in the queue.

Therefore they are ridiculed.

Moreover, the urban youth who went to the countryside to jump in the queue did not work well and did not play much role.

After the state subsidizes several hundred catties of grain in the first year, for the rest of the year, these queue jumpers are in potential competition with the rural men for their share of grain.

There are only so many fields in the countryside, and the farming methods and the intensive cultivation of traditional agriculture have reached the output limit. In this case, the food has not increased, but the rural people have more and more work points as the population increases and the educated youth jumps in the queue. .

This is the reason why everyone works hard and earns work points, but in the end they become big guys who can't afford to eat together and go hungry together.

There are too many people, and the output of the field has reached its limit. It is indeed meaningful to earn work points, but the work points of strong laborers are constantly depreciating, and it is becoming more and more difficult to have enough food.

Not many rural men think about this truth.

But they can see that after the arrival of the sent-down youths, this group of "outsiders", "city dwellers who can't work" and "delicate and useless people" took away the village's food share.

Therefore, out of the simplest concept of "he came to grab my food", some villagers in the countryside are hostile and reject the educated youth.

People vary from person to person, and villages are different from villages.

There are places where educated youth are treated kindly, and some educated youth are particularly hardworking and clever, making people not repulsed or hostile.

But Yan Jiekuang obviously didn't work hard enough to be recognized as a member of the production team by fellow villagers.

It's like Yan Jiekuang is being urged to get up, wash his face in a hurry, and go to work with the production team and other educated youths.

Walking on the road, Yan Jiekuang saw a woman in coarse clothes, holding a screaming child in her arms, sucking out milk and coaxing it to feed the child.

Yan Jiekuang felt indescribable every time he saw it.

This is Wang Aihong, a female educated youth, married to the son of a villager from Sandaokouzi Village, the captain of the production team.

She is a girl from an eastern province. She graduated from high school and was preparing to take the university entrance exam. She devoted all her skills to studying and reading. As soon as she joined the production team, she was exhausted from farm work.

Yan Jiekuang didn't know exactly what was going on, anyway, she married a fellow villager after only a year or so.

A quiet and delicate girl just nestled in a fellow villager's house, doing housework every day, and her stomach gradually swelled.

By now, her face was flushed, similar to that of rural women.

It's just that the original calmness has not been completely polished.

She also learned a lot of rude habits, such as feeding the baby as soon as she turned around when she cried.

Full of complicated thoughts, Yan Jiekuang came to the field and followed him to do farm work.

Farm work is not done every day, but the members of the production team are all busy, for fear that if they don’t work that day, their work points will be lost.

So everyone does a lot of work every day, is very tired every day, and then settles every year, and they can barely survive with grain plus coarse grain.

Year after year they are filled with a sense of accomplishment and expectation, and they lose year after year. In fact, their enthusiasm is also dampened.

What they need is not to "look for work without work" every day every year, but to "make the cake bigger and better" and improve productivity before changing this embarrassing situation.

Stubborn "rolling" to the end is bad, and bad to the end is an unavoidable change.

Yan Jiekuang didn't know the reason behind this, he only knew that he didn't want to work, but he still had to work, and he had to do a lot of work.

Digging the ground, digging ditches... There are all kinds of farm work waiting for me every day, and I can't finish it.

Sometimes he thought that if he was a woman and couldn't keep going, he might find a capable rural laborer to marry.

Sometimes he also thinks that it is not bad to find a rural woman who can work and have a litter of children with him.

However, Yan Jiekuang couldn't allow himself to go on like this when he came back to his senses more often and remembered the things in the distant Forty-Nine City and the courtyard.

It is too bitter here, too difficult!

He couldn't stand it at all.

The eldest brother, Yan Jiecheng, works in a machinery factory and earns more than 20 yuan a month. The factory cafeteria is definitely full of food and drink.

The second elder brother, Yan Jiefang, works in the rolling mill and is also a formal boiler worker. He also earns 30 yuan a month. Now they are married and share a house.

None of them, like Yan Jiekuang, worked so hard every day to die, and were ridiculed and looked at coldly by others. In the end, they still didn't have enough to eat, and their hungry stomachs grumbled from time to time!

It's not that Yan Jiekuang is cheap, he really stole sweet potatoes from a fellow villager to fill his stomach, it was really a fire in his hungry stomach; he is not the only one, no matter how elegant the girl is, no matter how polite the scholar is, the educated youths are more or less , I have taken food from fellow villagers' homes and production teams. It is so bad that your chest sticks to your back, and you can't eat it.

"Yan Jiekuang, your letter!"

As he was watching, a man riding a bicycle and wearing a post office bag stopped on the path beside the field ridge, and waved the letter at Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang's heart skipped a beat, he ran over and opened the letter.

Inside was a letter written by Yan Bugui: With the help of director He Yuzhu, a letter of recruitment for a rolling mill was issued, asking Yan Jiekuang to return to work at the Red Star Rolling Mill in Sijiucheng.

With trembling palms, Yan Jiekuang opened the other envelope with the official seal. After signing and fair recruitment paper, tears filled his eyes, he cried and laughed, and even jumped up on the field ridge.

"I can finally go back to the city!"

Yan Jiekuang yelled, the villagers looked at him strangely, and the educated youths stared at him with envy and even jealousy, and there was a little bit of reluctance, with complex expressions.
