Chapter 33: The heroine in educated youth literature (1)

In 1969, July.
Su Yuan didn't even think about going to Zhou Huaicheng first. The thorny issue before her was going to the countryside.
By the eighth day of next month, she has just turned fifteen, which means she is only fourteen now.
There are two older brothers and one sister above her who are older than her. The eldest brother is already working in the cannery, but the second brother and the third sister are still unemployed, and both have just graduated from high school.
No matter how you look at people who go to the countryside, they should choose one of the two, instead of letting the original owner who is not yet fifteen years old.
But in this article about the educated youth going to the countryside, the original owner is indeed the first educated youth to go to the countryside in his family. He went to the countryside at the age of fifteen and was already twenty-five when he returned to the city.
Married to a husband who was also an educated youth in the countryside, and had a son when he came back. Both of them went to the countryside when they were young, did not go to high school, and did not study in the days when they were educated youth in the countryside. Conditions, the resumption of the college entrance examination has nothing to do with them.
The two took their sons back to the city. They had no job or school, so they could only live in the living room of their in-laws and go out to do odd jobs every day.
The days of going to the countryside were bitter, and the first few years after returning to the city were not easy. It was not until the two of them started small business that the days slowly improved.
But after a few years, the male protagonist became ambiguous with the young female college students around him, and even almost got an illegitimate child. The original owner had never thought about divorce, but she and the male protagonist’s career were together, no It's easy to separate, not to mention there is a son between them.
The original owner is reluctant to let his son not have a complete family, so he can only fight against Xiaosan to save his cheating husband.
The young man left for a long distance, but the scumbag changed his mind, the couple's career was thriving, and his son was sensible and obedient.
This is the ending of the original owner in the book.
Whether it’s from the memory of the previous life, but from the original plot, Su Yuan knows that the life of going to the countryside is not easy, don’t look at her strength, but at this time, how tightly it is, everything on the mountain and in the water It is public property, not even if you catch it.
Ten centimeters if one person is up to the sky, even if you do ten people's work, that is ten work points. Taking ten centimeters of food is useless.
Not to mention, buying things is not convenient anymore. There are few things that don’t require bills. There are supplies in the city. When you go to the countryside, you can eat by centimeters and heads. You can't see a few bills throughout the year.
Su Yuan didn't want to go to the countryside like the original owner. Besides, according to the situation of the Su family, the original owner shouldn't go to the countryside.
Su's father Su Dachuan originally thought the same way, looking at the dull family, he had to speak first as the head of the family.
"This is not a matter of willingness or unwillingness, but we must have someone in our family go to the countryside. Dacheng is someone who has a job. Siyuan is a young person. It is better to go to the countryside or Erlong and Sanfeng. You two should discuss it and see who Go, no matter who goes, the family won’t care about anything, as long as there is something at home, it’s not impossible to post it."
Su Long and Su Feng didn't want to go to the countryside. Before their parents came back from the factory, they had already quarreled and almost fought. The reason why they didn't do it was because they reached a consensus.
Neither of them go, others go.
Brother has a job, but Siyuan does not.
"My classmate Zhou Aimin in the machinery factory, his dad is the deputy director of the factory. We had the best relationship in high school. He said that I can get me in as a temporary job, so I won't go to the countryside. I can still have a job here to subsidize my family." Su Long said half-truth.
One of his classmates is called Zhou Aimin. It is true that Zhou Aimin has a father who is a deputy director. It is true that they have a good relationship. These parents know it, but it is false to get him in as a temporary job. .
Zhou Aimin, Su Yuan looked up at her second elder brother, not knowing whether this "Zhou" had anything to do with Liu Lang.
Father Su nodded: "Can you tell me this matter?"
"It's not easy to arrange a temporary worker in Zhou Aimin, his father is as big as a deputy factory director." Su Long said with a stubborn neck.
Su Feng also has a reason not to go to the countryside: "I was born weak and weighed less than five catties. I couldn't do farm work or endure hardship at all. Besides, I had graduated from high school. If any factory hired workers, I go to the test and I will definitely pass it."
Su Feng carefully looked at her father's face: "Or let the little girl go. Although she is young, she has good physique. When I find a job, I will send half of my salary and benefits to the little girl. Both of us won’t have to suffer."
Su Yuan looked at the ground quite calmly. In the original plot, Su Feng never found a job. In the end, she took up the job of Su’s mother and stayed in the city. With half of the salary and benefits, naturally there was nothing wrong with the original owner. child.
As for Su Long, in order to avoid going to the countryside, he replaced Su's father.
In other words, the two graduates from high school eventually took over their parents' class, and both sent their youngest sister to be an educated youth at the age of 15.
"Siyuan is too young, she is only fifteen years old." Mother Su put down her needlework and said.
She couldn't bear any children going to the countryside, let alone the youngest daughter.
Father Su felt that what Erlong and Sanfeng said were reasonable. Of course, high school students are better than junior high school students in finding jobs, and the countryside is not so hard. He also came from the countryside, and he doesn't think the life in the countryside is really difficult.
Moreover, Siyuan has a good temperament and can get along with people when going out. Unlike these two big ones, it is easy to offend people and it is even harder to go out.
"Siyuan, what do you think, dad wants to hear your opinion."
"I don’t want to go to the countryside. I can’t see my parents when I go to the countryside. I want to be with my parents. My second brother and sister were born several years before me. They stayed with my parents for several years. Two years.
Su Yuan had been brewing emotions for a long time sitting here, so he cried as he spoke.
The crying child has candy, and the original owner loves his brother, sister, and parents, so he is willing to go to the countryside and suffer.
"Good boy, don't cry, don't cry." Mother Su patted her little daughter on the shoulder, "I'm not sure yet. If we don't go to the countryside, we'll stay with our parents, OK, master, you say something!"
The master doesn't want to talk, just feels a headache.
"If I can go to the countryside, I will go to the countryside for you. Don't think about the life of going to the countryside so badly. As long as people have the ability, they can live well everywhere. Work hard and always What's the difference between the city and the country?"
These words, if it is decades later, Su Yuan still believes, but now, let's forget it.
Su Dachuan lit a cigarette and smoked a whole cigarette. No one at home spoke.
"Since you are not willing to go, let's call the lottery. Whoever catches it will go. This is fairer."
Everyone will go with one-third probability, and two-thirds probability will stay. It should be fine.
Leave it to luck. Su Yuan doesn't want to do this, not only Su Yuan, but also Su Long and Su Feng.
"I will have a job soon. I still work in a machinery factory. It's not a pity."
"I am a high school student, and it is easier for me to find a job."
"Then the exam is good, whoever gets the worst in the exam will go. The higher education does not mean that the recruitment exam can pass the exam well." Su Yuan suggested.
On the one hand, Su Yuan has the memory of the original owner, and he has lived a few lifetimes anyway, and doesn't feel that he can't cope with the exam. On the other hand, it is also because the objects of comparison are more dishes.
These two are not the masters of studying well. The reason why they went to high school is because there is no job opportunity, not because they are easy to learn, nor because of good academic performance.
"How do you two feel?" Father Su felt that it was no different from a lottery. The two big ones were not very good, but after two more years of study, the smaller one did better, but after all, it was just a junior high school graduation.
"So what's the test?" Su Feng whispered. Compared with Si Yuan, she was not completely sure, after all, she hadn't been compared, but she was definitely better than the second brother in the test.
"I went to Director Liu on the fourth floor to get a set of papers. There was a recruitment exam in our factory last month, and the results have already come out. He should have the test papers. You can make this set of papers. I will ask Director Liu to help correct it. That goes to the countryside."
"No, Dad, I already have a job. Can you still believe Zhou Aimin's dad? It is not easy for a deputy factory manager to arrange a job, and with Zhou Aimin's father's relationship, I will soon be able to become a regular employee. Yes, if I go to the countryside, it would be a pity. The machinery factory is the largest factory in our city."
Su Long was so anxious that he was so anxious that he was not a school or a factory recruiting workers. One of them went to the countryside and passed the exam.
"Who knows if you made up a lie to lie to us, Dad, the second brother tells few lies, don't listen to him, he must be a lie, if this happened, the second brother would have been showing off to us, where When we get to the present, let's take the exam. The exam is the fairest." Su Feng said quickly.
As long as she has a second brother, she will definitely not be able to cushion her, and she still has this confidence.
"Didn't I think that I would give you all a surprise when I finish work? Who would have thought of going to the countryside?"
"It's OK. If you don't want to take the lottery, then take the exam. Siyuan High School didn't take it. If she can take the exam, you can't."
Su Long looked at his dad, then looked at the third and fourth sisters, and whispered: "Why don't you get the lottery? I can't bully Siyuan. She is young and the lottery is fair."
"Let's take an exam, second brother, don't make an idea for a while." This is Su Feng.
"Second brother knows that I am young, so why don't you let me go to the countryside." This is Su Yuan.
"Then take the exam, I will go up to Director Liu, you first take out the paper and pen, find a good location, no one copy it." This is Father Su.
The textile factory recruits accountants this time, and the most common are arithmetic problems.
Director Liu and Su's father have been colleagues for decades. Although they are not in the same department, they are very good at talking, so they don't find it too troublesome. They copied three test papers and sent them down, supervised the scene in person, and changed the papers on the spot.
"Your family’s Siyuan is really good at learning. This time, more than forty people recruited did not have a full score in the exam. I remember she just graduated from junior high school. This kind of test paper can get a full score. It’s really good. I knew you should trust. Let her try." Director Liu said with emotion.
Father Su and You Rongyan: "Next time, let her take the exam next time I have a chance."
The three test papers have already been scored. Put them in front of you to see who is higher and who is lower.
"That is to say, whether your family will go to the countryside or not can still be determined by the examination. For children from other families with a big difference in age, it is not appropriate to put together a test." This is a small disadvantage.
"Hey, isn't this an easy job? It's easier to find a job if you stay properly. Don't tell me about this. We just know it, don't cause trouble." Father Liu blessed.
"Okay, I don't worry about it. You won't tell others. Even if someone sees this test paper, we can't go to the countryside, just say how difficult it is for a few kids to try."
"Yes, yes, just say that."
Su Yuan's test paper is full marks, Su Feng's test paper just passed, and Su Long's test paper is far from passing.
He sent Director Liu back, and Father Su came back with his hands behind his back: "If you say a good thing, whoever is cheating, I will draw him with a belt. Erlong's score is the lowest. You are also the oldest. You are a boy. You will be reported to you when you go to the countryside. Don’t worry, as long as there is a chance to return to the city, we will definitely seize it. We will spend a few years in the country to experience life."
Su Long drooped his face and was about to cry, afraid of his dad's whip and life after he went to the countryside.
I must come back. As his dad said, he will stay in the country for a few years and return to the city if he has the opportunity. But the key is that he doesn’t want to stay there for a year. If you experience life, that's fine.
It’s done, and Su Long can only fight for his own welfare: "I have to bring more food stamps, and let my mother make me new clothes, and the kettle at home, I have to take, or how to drink water when I work on the ground, Mom will send me two pairs of shoes and clothes every year, or else what will I wear there..."
"Why don't you two discuss it again and save my life." Su Long looked at the two younger sisters with eyes.
It would be fine if it were another year in the morning. If one year in the morning, the eldest brother must go to the countryside, and the eldest brother will not be selfish like these two.
Su Feng and Su Yuan shook their heads and waved their hands, but they didn't agree anyway.
As a person about to go to the countryside, Su Long can certainly make more demands. Su's father and Su's mother will try their best to satisfy Su's father and Su's mother. Su Feng and Su Yuan have no jobs and no money.
Su Cheng is a person who has a job. Although he has not yet become a regular employee, he has a salary of twelve yuan a month. He pays half of the salary at home, and most of the remaining half is saved.
Originally I wanted to give half of it to my second child, but it looked pitiful, so I took it all out. Mother Su is busy making clothes, shoes, and shopping for Erlong, except for working hours.
These are more than the treatment of the original owner back then, and it is true that ‘the crying child has candy to eat’.
Su Yuan also helped to sew a pair of trousers and helped line up to buy some daily necessities. Anyway, Su Long had suffered in the past.
"Listen well, as long as there is a chance at home, you will definitely be allowed to go back to the city. If you are there, write to us and tell us what you lack. Work hard. If you go there to listen to the cadres, you must not engage in objects. I want to return to the city." Before leaving, Father Su had repeatedly told him.
Su Long was tied with a big red flower on his chest, carrying three big bags in his hand, and carrying his messenger bag and water bottle on his back.
"I know, don't forget to send me things. If it weren't for going to the countryside, I would work as a temporary worker in the machinery factory. I would send me things according to this salary. I would definitely not engage in the object. I will come back if I can."
"Big brother, don't forget about me, we are brothers, what good things to send to me."
"Sister, younger sister, I have suffered for both of you. When you find a job, my salary and benefits should be my share. Don't forget to send it to me."
This is true, parting is imminent, no one can refute it.
Everyone wants to send things, but they always have to do what they can, and it really depends on the mutual affection.
The family sent away Su Long, and only then began to figure out about the two daughters.
Su Feng has graduated from high school and it is impossible to go to university, so he can only find a job.
After Su Yuan graduated from junior high school, he can still go to high school for two more years, but it is not impossible to find a job. The junior high school education is enough, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity.
On the way back, Father Su asked, "Before Sanfeng could find a job, she did housework at home. She should know how to cook when she is such a big girl. What do you think about Siyuan? Do you still go to high school? ?"
"I plan to go home and look for a job, and see which factory has recruiters, and can I hold someone to participate. Like the third sister, I won't go to high school."
Nowadays, I can’t learn much in school. I only rely on recommendation to go to college. When the college entrance examination resumes in the future, those who graduated from high school can participate, and those who graduated from junior high school can participate, so she won't waste these two years.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and those who earn money are absolutely different from those who eat rice at home.
"Then do the housework at home, read the book carefully, and be prepared." Father Su sighed a long sigh, a carrot and a pit, it is so easy to find a job.
Su Yuan really doesn't have any clear goals now. Many of the factories recruiting workers are not for everyone, and it is difficult to get news of the recruitment in time. When it is known, people have already recruited.
The best welfare now is of course the workers, skilled workers, but she has no skills, she has learned crafts from chefs in her previous life, and she has also memorized many recipes and recipes.
But the point is that you can't be an individual now, and it's not so easy to go to work as a chef.
Although the needlework is good, I use sewing machines now, and there are not many hand-made ones anymore. Embroidery techniques cannot be used without beginning or end. Besides, I don’t pay much attention to it now.
I can speak a few sentences in a foreign language, but there is no place where it can be used. To be precise, she should not be able to go where it can be used.
As for the icing on the cake, such as calligraphy and painting, they simply don’t need it now.
Su Yuan plans to go out for a few days first to check the situation. The original owner has been going to school and is not very familiar with the outside situation.
