A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 206 Can’t read wisely?

Although during this period, newspapers served as one of the important channels for the country to express its voice.

The main group of people who can order is not the general public, but comes from various units.

Ordinary people rarely subscribe, and literacy rate accounts for a considerable part of the overall reason.

This has also resulted in the delay in the public receiving of many important news.

By the time the old and young people in the courtyard knew that the number of educated young people going to the countryside had exceeded one million.

It's already the fifth day since the newspaper came out.

The third uncle read aloud the contents of the expired newspaper he got from school. Hearing it to the ears of the neighbors who gathered to enjoy the cool air, for some reason, his heart felt heavy.

This number is falling too fast!

In 65, the policy of sending educated youths to the countryside seemed to have been broken, with one group after another leaving.

From last year to February this year, the total amount was only 300,000.

But it's only been half a year since the last report, and the number of people has more than doubled.

This makes everyone stunned.

Aunt Wang squeezed her daughter's hand and said fearfully: "Fortunately, you finally passed the local exam this year. If you don't report this year, I won't agree to anything."

She heard that all those signing up now are high school students.

Aunt Wang was also afraid. Wang Yun's brain became hot and he became confused.

Wang Yun, who was already a freshman at the normal school, said with a smile: "Mom, you are really overthinking. I just wanted to stay in BJ, so I took the exam again. How could I still sign up for other places?"

After saying that, she looked at Li Xiang, who was surrounded by stars and asked questions, and thought, I would be stupid to leave.

Li Xiang is answering the big guys' questions.

In the eyes of the neighbors in the courtyard, Li Xiang spends all day at school or in factories, dealing with big shots like professors and leaders. He should be the first to know about any news.

"Yes, this number cannot be faked. From last year to now, we have indeed gone to the countryside to support so many people."

A neighbor asked: "Is this the same as the third-line construction in the past?"

"As far as I know, it's not the same thing. The third-line construction workers are recruited from various factories and units to assist in construction. They have employee establishments there and still receive wages. This one goes to the mountains and countryside to support farmers. Unless you are assigned to a reclamation corps, you will have no establishment and no salary, but you can still produce for your own use. But the disadvantage of being assigned to a corps is that the place where you are stationed is too remote."

Li wants to explain the policies of both sides to everyone as positively as possible.

"Listen, it seems that the third-line construction is better. The fourth child of Mr. Wu's family left early. If he hadn't signed up to go to the countryside and followed the previous path, he might have been promoted to a full-time job by now." The second uncle thought. After a moment, he commented.

"That's not necessarily true. You can't come back from the third line. Those who go to the countryside listen to what they say. You can come back in three to five years. There is also family leave every year so you can come back and see your relatives." He Yuzhu shook his head, feeling that it was beneficial. There are disadvantages, it all depends on what you want.

When it comes to the children of Mr. Wu's family, the women in the courtyard have something to say.

They all felt sorry for him that they were separated so far apart.

I don't know how I offended the people from the Educated Youth Affairs Office.

In this latter area, a few more people went there, and they were no longer so far apart.

Two of the young people live in the suburbs and can go home from time to time.

At this time, the uncle suddenly spoke: "Let me just say a few words here. We also have a few school-age children in our courtyard. Building the country and helping farmers are great and glorious things, but this is hundreds of miles away from home." Even thousands of miles, it is not something that can be done with just a few words. Children must think carefully before making a decision. Not only do they think well, but the elders also have to think well for them. This kind of thing starts A bow has no arrow to turn back. Don't get too excited and make decisions rashly after receiving praise from others. If you don't have the sincerity and the ability to do practical things, just to get a few words of praise, you should give up this idea as soon as possible. It causes trouble to the local people and makes their elders worried.”

This sentence was not something that the old man suddenly remembered to say as he patted his head. But during the lobster banquet that day, a few men in the courtyard sat at a table and chatted about this matter.

They are all human beings, so they naturally smell something wrong.

When I asked Li Xiang, they were all neighbors in the same courtyard. Li Xiang couldn't open his eyes and tell lies.

He can only try his best to evaluate objectively from a neutral standpoint.

For the development of the country, it has to go through such a period of pain.

If such a policy falls on an individual, it will inevitably be painful for those who do not have such great ambitions.

It all depends on one's character. For those who can see far away, if you take one step in advance, the benefits will be great after the pain is over.

Those who couldn't bear it could only feel that it was a hell on earth. They tried their best to escape, and they could think of any tricks, good or evil.

Of course, most of them are still willing to be like cows and horses. This is how ordinary people have lived since ancient times.

In this regard, people in the courtyard have always been united. A few people who were able to speak out discussed it and decided to pour cold water on the young people in the courtyard.

The people who are pouring are not people with such ability and character. They don't stop people who want to go out and explore. If they stop them, it is of no use. If they go, they will only cause trouble for themselves and their families.

Of course, Li Xiang, as a youth representative, found it inconvenient for him to say what he just said.

The second uncle is not as eloquent as that person. If he gives the same advice, I am afraid that he will sound like a command, which will make people dislike him.

The third uncle wanted to say it, but he had too many worries and didn't have the courage to say it. However, he also took over the job of reading the newspaper.

The first man stood up at the critical moment, and he was still able to control the situation.

Although there are some things that are criticized for the sake of old-age care, the flaws are not outweighed by the advantages.

Right now, there's nothing to criticize.

The old man’s advice still had some effect.

At least a few idle young people in the courtyard did not run out to connect with each other like they did before. The words of glory and honor that often hung on their lips have also disappeared a lot.

Although the flames in the courtyard were stopped before they burned out.

But the flames outside were burning more and more, as if they were being fueled by fire.

Gradually, this fire began to spread to major universities.

No one from secondary schools, colleges and universities is spared.

Now Li wants to walk outside and hears all these things.

These days, news of genuine products is still delayed, but news of pirated products spreads faster than anyone else.

There are also disadvantages to being too simple and simple. People will become obsessed with the information that has been processed countless times and heard in their hearts.

Students are starting to drop out of school, and no matter how much teachers persuade them, they can't stop their progress.

Among those who dropped out, students from rural areas only accounted for a very small proportion, and most were children from cities.

It is extremely sad that such a phenomenon is seen by people who are still rational.
