Chapter 213 Exit

Xia Chan nodded, then turned to all the villagers and said loudly, "Hello everyone, I am Xia Chan, a villager from Yong'an Production Team. I am nineteen years old. Although I also want a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, I don't want to leave the production team, nor do I want to leave my brothers to live and study in a strange place. So I withdraw from the competition for a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. I hope everyone will cast their precious votes for those who really need it."

After Xia Chan finished speaking, she walked down from under the eaves and returned to her brothers. Xia Qi reached out and rubbed Xia Chan's hat, "Don't you regret it?"

Xia Chan shook his head, "I've thought it through very clearly, I won't regret it."

The most important thing is that all the really great teachers and professors are out there at this time. Even if she goes to school, she won't be able to learn anything. Moreover, the college entrance examination will be resumed in more than three years. She has to take the college entrance examination and go to a really great university.

Use these three years to accompany your brothers. After all, in three years, they may be separated and scattered in various corners of the motherland, and they may not have the opportunity to live together like this in the future.

Maybe we only see each other during the holidays.

"Hello everyone, I am Liu Li, an educated youth from the Yong'an Production Team. In the past two years since I came to the production team, I have learned a lot of life skills and met many friendly uncles and aunts. Thank you all for your help and care over the past two years. Thank you all so much. If I can get this place, I will study hard, strive to graduate as soon as possible, and then contribute my part to our country." After Liu Li finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Chan.

He was conflicted inside, wanting to leave but not wanting to. However, if he was asked to stay for something impossible, he couldn't do it. No one would risk their entire life for something impossible.

After everyone introduced themselves in turn, the team leader asked those who were over sixteen years old to go to the accountant one by one to vote. The accountant was responsible for drawing the correct characters under each person's name. Everyone spoke in a low voice so that those behind them would not hear.

This time, you vote for the comrade you most want to support. There is no need to discuss with each other. It all depends on your personal opinion.

Soon it was Xia Chan's turn. Xia Chan voted for Liu Li because she felt that Liu Li was a pretty good person, except that he had a mother who was too easily fooled. He was not affected by this, so it could be said that good things come out of bad things!
Xia Chan did not ask who the brothers voted for. After all, there were so many people around and it would not be good if others heard it, lest people misunderstand what kind of relationship they had with Liu Li. There were so many people in the production team, and it was estimated that the impact would not be that big whether or not their votes were there.

Half an hour later, the voting ended.

The accountant counted everyone's votes, stood up and announced, "Liu Li, the educated youth, got 135 votes, Lin Yue, the educated youth, got 130 votes... Congratulations to Liu Li and Lin for winning admission to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Please come to the brigade headquarters to handle the formalities later."

Liu Li and Lin Yue were both very happy. They could finally go back to the city. Although they were not going back to their hometown, at least they were going back to the city.

No matter how good the Yong'an Production Team is, it is not as good as the city, because in the Yong'an Production Team you really need to work in the fields to earn work points. After two years of farm work, their hands are covered with rough calluses, and their hands are not as white and tender as before, and they are almost the same as those of the country people.

"The second thing I want to say is that now that the team has a radio, we naturally need an announcer. Anyone who has graduated from junior high school can come and sign up to compete for the position of announcer. The announcers in our team naturally cannot be compared with those in the commune. Four work points are required in the morning and work is required in the afternoon. Anyone who is willing can come and sign up." There were no junior high school graduates in the production team, so the competition for the announcer was still among the educated youth. The educated youth were all junior high school graduates or high school graduates, but some of them had arrived young and could not compete for the places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. However, there was no experience restriction for announcers, and as long as the academic qualifications met the requirements, anyone could participate in the competition.

Afterwards, the team leader took everyone to the broadcasting room, and handed each person a newspaper, asking them to read a report to everyone. Only those who could pronounce clearly and read the entire article smoothly could receive everyone's vote.

Finally, the position of announcer fell to Xiao Fengfeng. When Xiao Fengfeng read the report carefully, his pronunciation was clear and he sounded a bit like a broadcaster. He really looked like a host! Maybe it was because he had heard the reports of the hosts on the radio!

Next comes the third thing, which is considered to be the most important thing for the Yong'an Production Team, and that is the winter hunting.

The team leader asked everyone to sign up, prepare their things this afternoon, and set off tomorrow morning, because if they don’t go now, they may have to celebrate the New Year in the mountains, and everyone will not be able to eat meat during the New Year.

People had to be sent to the educated youth site, otherwise each room would be divided into dozens of kilograms of meat, which was unfair to the villagers in the production team. They got so much meat for free without any effort, while other people in the production team had to exchange their lives for so much meat.

In the end, all the male educated youth at the educated youth point signed up, even Liu Li and Xiao Fengfeng. However, Liu Li's Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University would not start until February after the New Year, so they just had to report there before the start of the school year.

As for Xiao Fengfeng's announcer, everyone gets up late in the winter, so even if he goes to read, few people will listen, so he might as well go hunting in the mountains. With one more person, he can bring back more prey.

When everyone dispersed, Xia Chan said to Xiao Tiantian, "Tiantian, come to my house for dinner tonight. I will prepare some things for your brother to use in the mountains. We will be staying in the mountains for half a month or even more than 20 days. We need to prepare some more things so that we can spend these many days safely."

Xiao Tiantian nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help. We will be there in the evening."

This year it was Xia Qi's turn to go into the mountains to hunt. Every year, Xia Chan would prepare a bunch of things for her brothers to take into the mountains. This year was no exception. As soon as Xia Chan returned home, she started preparing things, and she prepared three portions.

Xia Qi, Xiao Fengfeng and Zhou Ji each received one.

Yuan Bingbing would definitely look for Xia Chan when she came over in the evening, so Xia Chan prepared things in advance: a can of malted milk for each person, ten pounds of dumplings for each person, ten pounds each of sweet potatoes, cassava, taro, potatoes and other things that can be steamed and eaten, and some miscellaneous snacks.

Moreover, after they go into the mountains and hunt prey, they can cook meat to eat, and they may also encounter nuts, mushrooms and other things in the mountains, so it is enough to bring so many things.
