Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 93: Telling what I have seen
Lin Yan said as she put on her clothes: "I saw those educated youth children who stayed in the village before. Seeing them like that, I can only blame Luo Ren."

Fang Mingche said: "These are things that only their parents can do. We are not Luo Ren and there is nothing we can do. We can only work hard and try to make Yanyan's life better."

Lin Yan nodded, and then the other party said clearly: "Fortunately, you kept your word and brought Yanyan to the capital to find me."

Fang Mingche said: "It is because the times have changed that people are the key to success."

The most important thing is the right time. If it weren't for the reform and opening up, the household registration and the relationship between grain and oil would have trapped him.

If he couldn't set up a stall to make money in the capital, he and Yanyan and Ayan would not be assigned any jobs for the time being. Even if they were to work in the dark, they would still feel sad.

People like him are the exception.

We had dinner at a big round table. We usually use a square dining table at home, but there is an arc-shaped wooden board on each side. It can be put together to form a big round table, which can seat twelve people without being crowded.

If you want to be more careful, it can accommodate 14 or 15 people. Children don't take up much space.

So, everyone had quite a comfortable seat.

During the dinner, the branch secretary was very interested in what Fang Mingche said, that there were people setting up stalls in the streets and alleys of the capital and even in Tiananmen Square.

"It should gradually spread to provincial capitals, urban areas, and then county towns and townships. The capital is the first place to benefit from the policy, and the people of the whole country should learn from the capital!"

What can be done in the capital is permitted by policy. If it is beneficial, it will definitely be promoted.

To be honest, although it has been seven months since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, there has really been no change in some remote areas.

The big cities have changed a lot.

Most of the supernatural powers displayed by the gods were for the purpose of getting rich through hard work, but a small number of them took crooked paths.

For example, people along the railways and highways. According to later documentary literature, many of them believed that the wealth they stole or robbed along the railways and highways was obtained by their own ability. They had no sense of guilt at all!

Fang Mingche said to the Party Secretary, "Well, you can wait a while. In another two years, I estimate that our areas will gradually be liberalized. By then, you can lead the whole village to prosperity."

In a few years, township enterprises will emerge. Didn't Huaxi Village remain the best village in the world for so many years? I remember that they spent 30 billion to build a star-rated hotel in the village.

Although Huaxi Village went bankrupt later, they were really wealthy in the 1980s and 1990s. Every household lived in a villa!
This branch secretary is not very old, only about 47 or 48 years old. He is quite conscious of the idea of serving in exchange for rewards. He should have the opportunity to make great achievements under the spring breeze of reform.

The secretary nodded and said, "After hearing what you said, I also think that life will get better and better."

"Yes, you can study the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee when you have nothing to do. If the village has a telephone in a few years, I can also tell you everything I have seen and heard in the capital."

The branch secretary frowned, "It will cost several thousand to install a phone."

It costs 5,000 in the capital, and these small places require extra connections and are even more expensive.

Fang Mingche said, "Where we live, there is a family with overseas connections. We gave them some money to install a telephone so that they can communicate more easily. They usually take out the telephone and let the neighbors use it as a public phone. You have to pay 20 cents to answer the phone. The net income is about yuan a day. The neighbors around here also benefit from it."

The accountant of the brigade had just put a piece of spicy chicken thigh into his bowl. Hearing this, he said reflexively: "It paid off that year. It really deserves to be the capital."

When these words came out, Fang's father couldn't help but raise his head. If the brigade had a telephone, he wouldn't have to go to the town post office to queue up to make a call. He also wouldn't have to go to the county town to answer the phone at his cousin's boss's place.

The brigade cashier said, "But we can't afford the several thousand yuan installation fee. Besides, how many farmers need to make a phone call? Not many are willing to send a telegram."

Fang Mingche said, "It would be easy if the installation fee could be paid on credit. The key is what the cashier said. It can't be like the alleys in the capital, where the people in a few alleys nearby can support the income."

At present, it should not be possible. So he said it will be a few years later.

The Party Secretary thought for a moment and said, "None of the nearby villages have telephones. If we had them, people from several villages would come to answer the phone. But even if everyone in the surrounding villages came, we still can't make calls."

This money can’t be earned!
The team is really poor now, and I don’t know when the situation will improve.

But today, the tractor was pasted with the double happiness pattern, and it came back in a lively manner. Someone came to rent a tractor to pick up the bride.

The production team leader looked at Fang Mingche who was talking to the party secretary. The second son of the Fang family was a learned man. When he resigned, everyone said that he might have a mental problem.

Now it seems that he is actually quite clear-headed. He probably resigned only after he had heard about the situation in the capital from Lin Yan over the phone.

If I can get into college, I won't miss anything. I even sold that job for 500 yuan!
You have to know that if you go back like Lin Yan did, the country has promised to arrange a job for you, so you can't sell it anymore.

The production team leader asked, "Mingche, how did you do in the college entrance examination this time?"

Fang Mingche said: "It should be possible."

The production team leader nodded. If that's the case, then we can arrange some work for the Fang family and take care of them. They have a very capable son who is studying in the capital.

The branch secretary asked, "Where is Teacher Lin?"

Lin Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "I should have no problem going to a technical secondary school."

The secretary said, "But your admission letter will not be sent to the village. When it is sent in due time, I will announce it on the loudspeaker. In the past two years, all those who were admitted to university in our village were educated youth."

There were only two in the past two years, and they were all educated youth.

If the second son of the Fang family passed the exam, it would be a glory for the whole village. It would show that they, the country people, were no worse than the city people.

After hearing what he said, Fang Mingche gave up his plan to go to school and wait.

He originally planned to ask the branch secretary to help him complete the procedures for transferring his household registration and grain and oil in advance, and then take them to the capital.

This way he can prove his identity and get the admission letter directly.

I guess his father will find it very useful to hear this announcement through the loudspeaker.

He resigned and went to the capital, but his family was laughed at by the villagers for a long time.
