Chapter 642 A bombshell! (Seeking monthly votes)
Hongxing Farm is developing very well!

From its establishment in 1965 until 1969, the farm was constantly expanding.

When Wu Aiguo left, the farm covered an area of ​​three square kilometers.

By the end of 1969, the farm's area had reached five square kilometers.

At this time, the farm had more than 300 employees and more than 6,000 mu of paddy fields.

There are also dedicated vegetable gardens, chicken and duck farms, and pig farms, making it a major supplier of grain and vegetables for the entire county and even Xishuangbanna Prefecture.

Inside, a primary school and a clinic were also built, along with a small library.

Because of its good development, it has been recognized as an advanced unit almost every year.

Perhaps due to its reputation, the number of educated youth assigned here was the largest among the surrounding farms, reaching over a hundred.

Of course, more than a third of them have already gone to neighboring Myanmar to become Alliance soldiers.

Some do well, while others disappear without a trace.

People naturally focus on those peers who are doing well.

Well, the occurrence of such a situation only shows that the farm's development status is not yet up to the standards of the educated youth.

I reckon they just look down on farming.

Although farming here has begun to rely mainly on various agricultural machines, supplemented by manual agricultural tools.

At least, it's much better than pure manual labor.

Unfortunately, the educated youth never experienced the hardship of hard labor.

With the situation in Myanmar's alliance improving, they are becoming restless and ambitious.

If Wu Aiguo were still on the farm, the educated youth wouldn't have had the energy or time to think about anything else.

The next manager didn't have the same audacity to let himself go.

Regardless of anything else, Hongxing Farm is undoubtedly the center of the surrounding area.

This day happened to be December 31, 1969.

The farm received a call from the military region quite early on.

Today, we have important guests visiting.

This left the factory director and management team somewhat bewildered.

I really don't understand how a place like Hongxing Farm could have so-called "distinguished guests" visiting?
At 10 a.m., a military jeep led the way, followed by two Willys Jeeps that were at least 80% new, and quietly entered the Red Star Farm.

When a female officer in military uniform stepped out of the Willys Jeep behind them, all the old men in the field widened their eyes.

"You, you are Ran Qiuye?"

Some people couldn't control their emotions and shouted it out.

"Comrades, how have you been?"

Ran Qiuye smiled slightly and greeted the familiar elderly staff member.

"Ran, Comrade Ran, what's wrong with you...?"

Seeing that Ran Qiuye's attitude was as gentle as ever, an older colleague from the department who had a good relationship with her asked curiously, "Where do you work?"

While they were talking, the group entered the small conference room at the headquarters.

Ran Qiuye was no stranger to this place.

When Wu Aiguo was still here, she served as a secretary and clerk, and she personally wrote many meeting minutes.

She didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the guest seat. At this moment, the military officer accompanying her introduced her: "Comrade Ran Qiuye is now the director of the office of the Northwest Branch of the Myanmar Alliance!"

Everyone was in an uproar!

Looking at the bright lieutenant colonel rank on his shoulder, I felt an indescribable envy, a very complicated feeling.

Clearly, Ran Qiuye has become incredibly wealthy by following Wu Aiguo.

"Besides visiting everyone, I also have some matters to discuss with the farm!"

After everyone's initial shock subsided, Ran Qiuye got straight to the point, saying in a deep voice, "The Northwest Branch of the Myanmar Company, with the help of teachers from China, has begun to establish its own industrial college!"

"I have a copy of the university's admission notice here, which is for Comrade Wu Aihong!"

Upon hearing this, the people in the field department had different expressions and none of them intended to speak.

"Comrades, please don't misunderstand!"

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Comrade Wu Aiguo is very clear about Comrade Wu Aihong's academic level!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the field suddenly understood.

"Comrade Ran, you must say, Comrade Ai Hong's learning ability and personal strength are indeed very strong!"

"Comrade Aihong is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the farm's two tractors, as well as other machinery, and she does it very well!"

"To be honest, Comrade Ai Hong is very important to the farm. If you hadn't come in person to deliver her university admission notice, the farm headquarters wouldn't have agreed so easily. We need talent like her!"

"..."

The small conference room suddenly became lively, with the farm leaders praising Wu Aihong one after another. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Wu Aihong was really that popular.

Certainly not!

What season is it now? In fact, some people in the farm are not interested in outstanding young educated youth like Wu Aihong.

However, out of consideration for Wu Aiguo, they dared not do anything.

If Wu Aiguo hadn't jumped ship, unless he had become a higher-level leader at the farm, Wu Aihong would probably have already been persecuted.

"Comrade Wu Aiguo believes that Comrade Aihong needs to undergo more in-depth study and master more advanced industrial knowledge in order to better contribute to our cause!"

Ran Qiuye has now become quite experienced, and she can easily spout pleasant-sounding platitudes. She chuckled and said, "Of course, we will not ignore the needs of Red Star Farm. We will build a new farm not far away as a training base for the Industrial College. The farm will have teachers and college students specializing in machinery all year round!"

There's no need to say anything more.

If you can't even tell this, you might get kicked out of this little meeting room in the future.

Sure enough, the leaders of Hongxing Farm perked up and hurriedly inquired about the inside story, wanting to find out the truth.

After finishing that, Ran Qiuye brought up the second matter: "The Northwest Branch has obtained permission from the domestic authorities to set up several test centers in and around Hongxing Farm. The several universities and vocational schools that the Northwest Branch is about to establish will admit students based on their scores!"

Boom!

The field officers present, and even the military region staff accompanying them, couldn't sit still.

They never expected Ran Qiuye to drop such a bombshell.

This is a chance to go to university!
Given Wu Aiguo's style of conduct, it's impossible for him to establish a worker-peasant-soldier university with a recommendation system, just like in other parts of China.

In this way, the educated youth on the farm, as well as their children or the children of their relatives, all have the opportunity to study at the university established by the Northwest Branch.

Needless to say, the university established by the Northwest Branch is definitely recognized domestically, and that's enough.

The news was so shocking that it took a long time for me to calm down.

Before they knew it, it was noon. Ran Qiuye readily accepted the invitation to lunch from the farm leaders and also asked someone to invite Wu Aidang and Wu Aihong along.
