Reborn in the red age

Chapter 45: The captain wants to recruit Li Qingfeng as his son-in-law

What happened tonight gave Li Qingfeng a better understanding of the village. No matter what happened in the countryside, educated youths like himself were outsiders. But whenever the educated youths faced off against the villagers, the villagers would more or less support the villagers.

After such a fuss, the educated youths had no intention of eating and drank the big rice porridge in their bowls. Without any intention of chatting, everyone sullenly expanded the vegetable patch in the courtyard.

During the land reclamation, Sun Guoqing cursed and talked about the rogue people in the village. The others didn't know what to say, so they could only say a few simple words of comfort before continuing to work.

After Wang Weimin was warned by Li Qingfeng, he did not dare to talk back to Sun Guoqing on this matter. Listening to Sun Guoqing's scolding, he just curled his lips and dug the ground vigorously with his hoe.

Early the next morning, Li Qingfeng got up from bed, went to the brigade headquarters, and followed the brigade leader to drive the ox cart to the county town.

On the way to the county seat, the captain looked at Qingfeng Li up and down from time to time. His scrutinizing eyes made Qingfeng Li panic.

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly: "Captain, you've looked at me many times along the way. Just tell me what's going on."

After hearing Qingfeng Li's inquiry, the captain did not answer directly. Instead, he took out his dry cigarette from his pocket and took a puff before slowly speaking: "That's the thing. Every year in our commune, there are two Do you know the number of places recommended for college?”

"I know, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly mention this?" Li Qingfeng didn't understand what the captain meant for a while and asked curiously.

Nowadays, there is no college entrance examination. It is a recommendation system. That is, if your work unit or commune thinks you are a good candidate, it will recommend you to go to university regardless of your grades. As long as your background is good enough.

The commune where Qingshan Brigade is located has two quotas every year, but few rural people go to the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University. Most of them are educated youths who use this quota. This is also one of the few channels for educated youths to leave the countryside.

There is a handsome educated youth in the brigade next door this year. He is obsessed with the brigade captain's daughter. After marrying the brigade captain's daughter, they got him a university place. He left for university a few days ago. went.

After spending two or three years in college, you will become a serious national cadre after graduation.

Taking another puff of cigarette, the elder captain of the brigade said calmly: "That's what's going on. One of the places in our commune will be given to our brigade next year. I want to ask you if you want to go to college. If so, The spot in our team will be given to you."

"A place was given to me? Is there such a good thing?"

Li Qingfeng wanted to agree as soon as he heard it. It didn't matter whether he would be discriminated against after graduating from college. Anyway, as long as he graduated from the university, he would be a cadre. If he was discriminated against, he could endure it. He didn't plan to work in the organization for the rest of his life, and he could still start early. Two years away from the fate of working in the fields.

Just when Li Qingfeng was about to nod in agreement, he suddenly remembered that the educated youth next door went to the university where he married the daughter of the captain's family. He suddenly stopped nodding, shook his head and said, "I can't do such a good thing as the captain." You'd better stop thinking about me and think about someone else. I love working and I feel uncomfortable if I don't work for a day. It's better to keep me to shine in the team." It's not that Qingfeng Li doesn't want to leave the field work, but the captain's family. My daughter is too heavy.

I have met Li Qingfeng, the captain's daughter, more than once or twice. In this era when people are generally thin, the girl is chubby. It's not because of how well she eats, but because the girl grows fat even if she drinks cold water. Li Qingfeng has nothing to do with it. Fu Xiaoshou, let someone else get the advantage.

"You really don't want to consider it? This is a university, and you will be a cadre after you get out? But you don't have to stay in the team and suffer." Li Qingfeng's refusal was obviously not expected by the captain. After reacting, he quickly spoke and continued to persuade.

Facing the temptation of the captain, Li Qingfeng still shook his head resolutely: "Don't think about it, don't think about it. I really love labor and have no interest in going to college, let alone becoming a cadre. If I become a cadre, I don't have to work. I will be a cadre." What's that thing for?"

"Oh, forget it. If you don't want to go, just don't go. You can come to me anytime when you want to." Seeing Qingfeng Li's firm attitude, the captain did not continue to persuade him. He sighed slightly disappointedly and held his hand. The bullock carts were hurrying on their way.

Seeing that this topic was no longer brought up, Li Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. For fear that the captain would bring up the matter of going to college again, Li Qingfeng did not dare to continue chatting with the captain and followed the bullock cart with a dull head on his way.

Alas, it's all because I am too good that the captain is eyeing me and wants to recruit me as his son-in-law. From now on, I'd better keep a low profile in the village and try to spread as little of my charm as possible.

When the two of them arrived at the county's educated youth point, they had already reached meal time. The new educated youth hadn't arrived yet, and the educated youth office didn't care about the meals. If the captain didn't mention that he would be his son-in-law today, he would have to take care of him today. The captain is going to a restaurant, so let's forget about it now, so as not to get the captain's attention again.

The two borrowed some hot water from the Educated Youth Office, soaked the dry food they brought with them, and sat on the bullock cart for lunch.

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the educated youths were picked up by two large trucks sent by the Educated Youth Office. They looked at each other wearing uniform clothes with big red flowers hanging on their chests. These should be the educated youths assigned uniformly.

This is really interesting. In just half a month, two groups of educated youths came. The first group was found by themselves by train through some connections, and the second group was uniformly assigned.

Those assigned to the Qingshan Brigade were three women, two men, and five educated youths. They all looked familiar, and they were probably classmates in the same class.

After the two parties introduced each other, the brigade leader asked them all to put their luggage on the bullock cart and walked back to the Qingshan brigade.

Now it is no longer the time when they first went to the countryside. The first batch of people were really looking forward to going to the countryside. However, they were dumbfounded as soon as they arrived. They wrote letters home one after another saying how painful the life in the countryside was. The family tried to transfer themselves back to the city, and then everyone knew what the specific situation was like in the countryside.

On the way to Qingshan Brigade, the faces of these students became more resistant the closer they got to Qingshan Brigade. If the food relationship in the city had not been cancelled, these people might have run away long ago.
