Reborn in the red age

Chapter 119 The educated youth from the southwest come to Beijing
Back in the main room, the blush on the faces of the three girls had not gone away. Qingfeng Li looked at his watch and saw that it was dinner time, so he simply took them to eat.

On the way, Ma Wenhui kept complaining that the neighbors around her were nosy and reported randomly. Except for Li Qingfeng who echoed a few words, the other two girls all lowered their heads and remained silent.

After coming out of Bianyifang, Li Qingfeng looked at Ma Wenhui with a complicated expression. How could this girl be so good at eating? Wouldn't she feel tired after eating a duck by herself?

After the afternoon study was over, Li Qingfeng looked at the three girls who were packing their things and preparing to leave. After thinking for a while, he tentatively said, "Zhao Di is going home. Do you two want to go back to school?"

"What else? Where will we sleep if we don't go back to school?" Ma Wenhui rolled her eyes at Qingfeng Li and said angrily.

Hu Jiabao didn't know what she was thinking of. She blushed and lowered her head to pack her things, but didn't answer Qingfeng Li's words.

Qingfeng Li slapped his thigh: "Sleep here, there are five rooms with beds and quilts. We have to come here tomorrow anyway, doesn't this save you the time of going back and forth tomorrow?"

Stopping what she was doing, Ma Wenhui looked at the two of them thoughtfully, looked at Qingfeng Li with a half-smile and joked: "It's not impossible to sleep with you, but you won't kick me out at night, right?"

"."

In the end, the two of them did not stay here, leaving Qingfeng Li alone to guard the empty room.

Watching the two people riding bicycles disappear at the corner of the street, Qingfeng Li turned around and closed the door in despair.

In the evening, I went to a state-owned restaurant to pack two meals. I called Hu Xuelia over when he returned home, opened a bottle of wine, and the two of them had a few drinks together.

After drinking and eating, lying on the spacious carved bed, Qingfeng Li sighed deeply, rolled up the quilt and went to sleep.

Hu Jiabao and the others arrived very early. Qingfeng Li, who had just finished washing, looked at his watch and saw that it was just early seven o'clock. He shook off the water on his hands and went out to buy some breakfast at a street breakfast stall.

"What is this? Why is it green? Is it bad?" Ma Wenhui said curiously as she stirred the bean juice back and forth with a spoon.

Glancing at the bean juice in front of Ma Wenhui, Li Qingfeng said seriously: "This is mung bean milk. It's not bad. It's just for you. Drink it quickly."

"Then why don't you and Jiabao drink?"

"Jia Bao doesn't like to drink mung bean milk, so I can just eat two steamed buns."

Seeing that Qingfeng Li was trying to tease someone, Hu Jiabao suppressed his smile and nodded cooperatively.

When she heard what was going on, Ma Wenhui didn't doubt it. She picked up the bowl and took a big sip.

Originally, Qingfeng Li was already preparing to run away, but who knew that this girl, Ma Wenhui, chirped without showing any signs of discomfort, and drank all the soy juice in the bowl in one gulp.

Putting down the empty bowl, Ma Wenhui wiped her mouth and said, "Don't tell me, people in these [-] cities know how to eat. Mung bean milk is quite delicious. I'll buy another bowl."

Qingfeng Li looked at Ma Wenhui in shock. Doesn't this little girl have a unique taste?

Hu Jiabao's eyes also widened. He looked at Hu Jiabao's empty bowl and recalled the feeling of drinking soy juice last time. He couldn't help but suspect that the soy juice he drank last time was bad.

Seeing Ma Wenhui running out with an empty bowl, Hu Jiabao hesitated for a moment, then took an empty bowl, and then went to make a portion of soybean juice to taste it again.

Hu Jiabao, who just took a small sip and almost vomited it out again, looked at Ma Wenhui who burped, and then looked at his partner pitifully. The meaning is self-evident.

With a dark face, he took the bowl full of bean juice from Hu Jiabao's hand, Qingfeng Li pinched his nose and drank it in one gulp.

The sour smell was really overwhelming. Qingfeng Li took several bites of the buns before suppressing the smell.

After breakfast, while Lin Zhaodi hadn't arrived yet, the three of them chatted about Wang Weimin.

Ma Wenhui took out an English dictionary and said to Li Qingfeng: "Li Qingfeng, you said that the second educated youth conference is about to be held. I don't know what the result will be. Can you let all the educated youth return to the city?"

"Yes, speaking of which, I still miss Wang Weimin and Wu Xiangqian a little bit. I don't know how they are doing now." Hu Jiabao also agreed.

"Who knows what the outcome of the discussion will be. This kind of thing is not something we can worry about. If you miss them, just write them a letter." Li Qingfeng shook his head. The Forty Articles will be released soon. There is no point in discussing this now. .

It happened that Lin Zhaodi also walked in at this time. Seeing this, the two stopped discussing this. Instead, they picked up English novels and learned spoken English from Qingfeng Li.

During the three-day National Day holiday, the four of them didn't go out to play. They learned spoken English three times in a row in the courtyard.Those who can get into college are all smart people who already have a good foundation. After Qingfeng Li taught English for three days in a row, everyone made great progress in their spoken English.

Ma Wenhui was very happy that she had made progress in speaking. She threatened to come here every week to practice speaking with Qingfeng Li. Regarding this, Qingfeng Li just thought she was joking and said welcome with a smile.

Who knew that they were not joking. In the next two months, the two girls, Ma Wenhui and Lin Zhaodi, would appear on time at the door of the courtyard house that Qingfeng Li bought every weekend, making Qingfeng Li's teeth itchy with anger.

Originally, I bought a house because I wanted to have a private space with Hu Jiabao, so that I could act like a gangster. Now, it’s better. I haven’t played the gangster a few times, but suddenly two such big light bulbs appeared, and I couldn’t even touch it with my little hands. era.

On December 43, the [-]-day Educated Youth Conference concluded. The meeting decided to continue to unswervingly implement the policy of sending educated youth to the mountains and countryside, and promulgated the "Forty Points for Educated Youth Work" that disappointed the educated youth.

In the 313 dormitory, Li Qingfeng and others couldn't help but start discussing after reading today's newspapers.

Except for Li Sanxi, who was born in a rural area and no one in his family went to the countryside, the other four people in the dormitory all had urban registered permanent residence and had brothers and sisters who went to the countryside to join the queue. Li Qingfeng and Hao Aiguo had experience of joining the queue, and so did Hao Aiguo's wife. The educated youth are still in the countryside and cannot return.

Except for Li Qingfeng who remained silent, the remaining three people were criticizing the contents of the Forty Articles. Even Li Sanxi, a rural person, did not support going to the countryside to join the queue and hoped to get all the educated youth back to the city.

Seeing that Li Qingfeng had not participated in the discussion, Song Youwei couldn't help but said: "Qingfeng, you are the other educated youth in our dormitory who jumped in line besides Lao Hao. Why don't you express your opinion on this matter?"

Seeing the other four people focusing on him, Li Qingfeng smiled, put down the book in his hand, and expressed his opinion: "From the perspective of the leadership, the Forty Points are correct, and educated youth cannot Back to the city"

"Qingfeng you"

"Stop, stop, Old Hao, I haven't finished speaking yet. Don't interrupt in a hurry. If you have anything to say, you can add it after I finish speaking." Seeing that Old Hao was about to start a long speech, Qingfeng Li quickly spoke out. Sound to stop.

Realizing that he was a little excited just now, Old Hao apologized to Qingfeng Li sheepishly and asked Qingfeng Li to continue talking.

"Why do I say that educated youth cannot return to the city? The most important point is that there are not so many jobs to be resettled. We only have so many factories now. Judging from the current situation of our country, there is no way to resettle these millions of educated youth who return to the city."

"What will happen if millions of young people return to the city without proper resettlement? Social security will deteriorate rapidly, and various vicious cases will emerge in an endless stream. Think carefully about whether what I say makes sense."

After listening to Qingfeng Li's words, the four people in the dormitory fell into silence, all digesting what Qingfeng Li said.

After a long time, Hao Aiguo sighed deeply and said disappointedly: "Then we can't let all the educated youth not come back, right?"

"How is it possible that all the leaders' children have returned to the city, and the rest are honest children from ordinary working-class families? You want the sons of ordinary people to suffer in the countryside? That's not possible. Don't think that honest people are easy to bully. If not, If they have lost hope, can they stop making a fuss? If things get serious, they will all come back when the time comes."

The discussion of the Forty Articles was quickly suppressed by a bigger news. On the 22nd, after the meeting that had a far-reaching impact on the future, the country officially entered a new chapter of reform and opening up.

The year has officially entered 12, and so many things happened in December that the school did not organize this year's New Year's Day party, leaving each class to simply celebrate in their own class.

Each person performed a program, and Qingfeng Li was pushed up to sing a chorus with several people in the class.

On the first weekend of New Year's Day, light snow fell in the sky. Li Qingfeng, who was wrapped tightly, joined Hu Jiabao and the others and walked towards the courtyard.

It’s not that I have to suffer this cold. It’s really not warm at school. There are no heaters in the classrooms and dormitories. I have to rely on shaking to keep warm. At least there is a fire kang in the courtyard, so it is relatively warm to study in it.

"Qingfeng Li, stop and look over there."

Hu Jiabao, who was sitting in the back seat and put on all the cotton-padded clothes for winter in the Northeast, stopped Qingfeng Li, jumped out of the car, pointed at the person in the distance and shouted.

Li Qingfeng and Ma Wenhui stopped their bicycles and looked in the direction Hu Jiabao pointed.

A group of more than 30 people lined up in two rows. The leader, a man and a woman wearing thin clothes, carried two big flags in their hands. Facing the cold wind, they walked forward in neat steps on the street with their heads held high and their chests high.

Seeing these people getting closer and closer to him, Li Qingfeng sighed deeply. These educated youths from the southwest were really miserable. They were dark and thin. There were more than 30 of them, and few of them had cotton-padded clothes. His thin autumn clothes turned pale in the cold wind.

He quickly took off his coat, and when the other party came over, he quickly went up and put his coat on a girl whose teeth were chattering from the cold.

When the other party was about to stop and say thank you, Li Qingfeng said first: "You don't have cotton-padded clothes, don't stop, I used to be an educated youth."

Hu Jiabao and the other three also imitated Li Qingfeng's example, untied their own coats and put them on these southwest educated youths.
