Chapter 1 Implement the work first

"The sea depends on the helmsman, and everything grows on the sun..."

The sound of radio broadcasting in the atmosphere of the age came into the classroom, and Xu Jichang sat across the long bench, looking at everything around him.

The mottled walls, the abacus used in the math class on the podium, and the posters of the great unity of workers and peasants on the wall...

and notices on the blackboard.

"The results of the graduation assignment will be announced soon. All students with urban household registration must pay attention, and return to school in time to collect relevant documents after receiving the notification..."

The inscription date below the notice is July 1974, 7.

In the empty classroom, Xu Jichang focused his eyes on the date, took a deep breath after a while,

"I actually traveled back to the 70s and became a freshly graduated high school student?"

This is the second day that Xu Jichang traveled here.

Last night when he first traveled to the school dormitory, Xu Jichang couldn't believe that he had really timed himself. As soon as it was dark, he went to bed with his head covered and fell asleep, hoping to wake up and find that it was a dream.

The sight before us now shows that all this is reality.

Xu Jichang took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down the shock.

He comes from the 21st century and lives in a mountainous county. He earned a lot of money by collecting herbs and hunting in the mountains in the early years. After he became a middle-aged man, he transformed into a forestry trade and lived a very prosperous life.

Just yesterday, he signed a big deal to celebrate, and led a few girls to play poker in his villa, hugging left and right and pouring several bottles of deadly Wusu.

After that, Xu Jichang didn't remember what happened.He only knew that when he opened his eyes, he came to the dormitory of this school.

"If you come, you will be safe. Let's take stock of your current situation."

After Xu Jichang calmed down, he muttered to himself in a low voice,
"I live in a rural area in Northeast China and graduated from high school at the age of 18."

"My mother died young, and my father died of illness three months ago. My family was poor. After middle school, I received tuition fee waivers for my excellent grades, plus the work-study opportunities provided by the school, so I could finish high school."

"I am currently facing graduation distribution. According to the current distribution system, as a graduate with rural household registration, I can only return to my hometown to work in agriculture."

"The original body was not reconciled to this, so after everyone left school and went home, they stayed at school and refused to return home..."

"Well, it's really not a good start."

Xu Jichang couldn't help shaking his head.

At present, the college entrance examination has not yet resumed, and a small number of university admissions are only selected from among workers, peasants and soldiers.

This means that as soon as high school students graduate, they have to consider their own way out.

Graduates with urban hukou, as long as some of their brothers and sisters go to the countryside, they can stay in the city and wait for a job assignment.

Allocation is difficult, but as long as you wait patiently, there will always be opportunities.Some families have extremely well-connected and extremely strong relationships, and it is not ruled out that they can be assigned as soon as they graduate.

From this point of view, the recent batches of urban graduates are much luckier than those of the 68 and 69 classes. The policy of those two classes was that all graduates with urban hukou go to the mountains and go to the countryside.

Correspondingly, graduates with rural hukou have always come from where they come from and where they will go back. After leaving the campus, they will return to the countryside to work in agriculture. This has never changed.

When Xu Jichang thought of this, dissatisfaction appeared on his face,

"You have to find a way to eat commercial food."

"If I go back to my hometown, I won't have a chance to get ahead before the college entrance examination resumes..."

Due to the terrain, Heixiazitun, where Xu Jichang's family is located, is the production team with the worst economic conditions in the county. Even if the strong laborers get full work points for a year, they can't get enough to eat, which is as different as the city.

Xu Jichang graduated from high school. He is a highly educated person in this era. Returning to his hometown to work in agriculture is tantamount to blindness.

Xu Jichang himself could not accept the life after returning.

"Graduating this year is the best opportunity to stay in the city, so we must seize the opportunity."

Xu Jichang said in a low voice.

It is routine for high school students with rural household registration to return to their hometowns to work in agriculture after graduation. If they want to break through the routine, they must have excellent conditions and connections.

If you have no way, you are underappreciated.If you have a network but your own conditions are not strong, it is easy to cause criticism. Even if you succeed in the network, you may be taken down again later.

My personal conditions must be excellent, with excellent academic performance, tall and strong, and digging earth and stone during work-study programs, one person can support several strong laborers.

The problem lies in finding the way.

It costs money to find a way out, and you can't go to others empty-handed, and the original family is so poor that there is a famine every year, and there is no meat for the New Year's Eve dinner.

In the few days after graduation, Yuanshen only ate one meal a day to save money, and was so hungry that everything looked like cornbread.

With all the money I could gather, I couldn't afford even a decent gift.

Is it true that he will be forced to return to his hometown to work in agriculture?

Xu Jichang frowned, his head was a little dizzy from hunger.

At this time, a ball of light appeared in his consciousness, and something was looming in it.

Xu Jichang was taken aback for a moment, and focused all his attention on the light ball, trying to figure out what it was.

As he concentrated, the ball of light began to gradually disappear, and the scene inside gradually became clearer.

"This is actually..."

Xu Jichang saw it clearly now, a row of shelves appeared in his consciousness, with a variety of commodities on them.

"It's really God helping me."

"With this, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat enough, or that you won't have the money to find a way to stay in the city?"

After confirming that no one was around, Xu Jichang concentrated his consciousness and tried to enter the space where the shelf was located, but it turned out to be really successful.

In a blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of the shelf, and he could reach the products on it with his hand.

Canned lychees, canned beef, cloth...

Xu Jichang was overjoyed and quickly stretched out his hand, and took about nine feet of high-quality cloth from the shelf. After folding it, he used the cloth to carry more than a dozen canned beef, and brought out the space.

"It seems that this is my golden finger."

Xu Jichang thought as he got up from the bench, carrying the cloth and the canned food inside.

After returning to the dormitory, Xu Jichang quickly wiped out the two canned beef, feeling particularly satisfied.

He hadn't seen a meaty stomach for many years, and now he finally had oil and water. Xu Jichang felt that the hunger in his stomach was greatly relieved, and his head was no longer dizzy.

"boom!"

Xu Jichang opened the third can of beef.

He was so hungry that he panicked just now, and when he ate the first two cans, he was like a storm, and he didn't have time to savor them.

Now, he wants to savor the taste of beef.

Well, that's nice.

After chewing slowly, Xu Jichang felt the wonderful taste of beef.

Delicate and delicious, the meat is mellow, and after the meat falls into the belly, it is full of aroma from the mouth to the throat...

After Xu Jichang carefully enjoyed the third can of beef, he lay on the bed in the dormitory for a while, carefully counting the possible relationships in his mind.

After thinking hard for a long time, Xu Jichang finally thought of someone.

His neighbor in Heixiazitun, Ding Xiawei, the daughter of the Ding family.

The Ding family was next to the Xu family, and the relationship between the two families was pretty good back then.

Later, the old couple of Ding's family passed away, and some of their children joined the army, and some married to other villages, and the two families gradually lost contact.

Ding Xiawei is the youngest daughter of the Ding family. Not only is she beautiful and charming, she also has excellent academic performance.

She was admitted to university before the college entrance examination was cancelled. After graduation, she was assigned to work in a state-owned factory in the county seat. A few years ago, she married a husband in the city. I heard that she made rapid progress in her work unit.

When Xu's father passed away, the Ding family sent Ding Xiawei's eldest sister to offer condolences, which showed that the two families still maintained a family relationship.

If Xu Jichang wants to stay in the city, the best choice is to follow Ding Xiawei's door.

The problem is that they haven't seen each other for so many years, is Ding Xiawei willing to help her, and if she is willing to help, how far can she help.

Xu Jichang was a little uncertain about this.

However, he still decided to give it a try, even if it didn't work out, it would be good to have a relationship with someone working in the city.

After making up his mind, Xu Jichang brought the fabric to the state-owned tailor shop and asked the clerk to measure his body and make clothes for him.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, Xu Jichang didn't want to go to see people in a patch upon patch.
