Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 14 I really want to keep a low profile

Many students were puzzled by this, and discussed in private.

"Why did Xu Jichang come? This time, only those with urban hukou can participate in the distribution."

"I don't know, maybe his grades are particularly good, so he got an arrangement."

"It's unlikely... The students who lived in the countryside in the past few years, no matter what their grades were, they all returned to the countryside to work in agriculture after graduation..."

Everyone lowered their voices, afraid that Xu Jichang would hear it, but in the end they let him hear it.

Xu Jichang didn't take it seriously, his expression was still very calm, and he walked into his class quickly.

If others talk about it, just talk about it, as long as the words don't go too far, anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat.

The classrooms are sparsely populated, because the urbanization rate in this era is very low, even in county high schools, most of the students are from rural areas, and there is no opportunity to participate in the distribution.

After seeing Xu Jichang coming in, many students in the classroom showed puzzled expressions, guessing in their hearts why he appeared here.

After a while, the school administration teacher entered the classroom holding a mountain of materials.

After putting the materials on the podium, the administrative teacher made a routine speech: "Students, you have officially graduated."

"You are welcome to join the ranks of the glorious workers, peasants and soldiers and contribute to the four modernizations of the motherland."

"The following will start distributing the files and materials of the students. Please check the materials carefully after receiving them, and let me know if there are any gaps."

After the administrative teacher finished speaking, several activists in the class immediately stepped forward, held the materials in their arms and began to distribute them.

Xu Jichang sat motionless in his seat. He had good grades in high school for three years, but he was not an activist.

Because activists have to show up in the public often, and the original body is wearing patch upon patch of clothes, so I have the nerve to stand up and let everyone notice me.

Don't say that this era doesn't pay attention to food and clothing, it's just that there is no obvious comparison, not to mention that adolescent boys and girls are particularly sensitive to this aspect.

Several activists in the class handed out the materials, and each person's materials were covered with a note indicating where to go.

The school did this at the beginning, probably for the convenience of compiling statistics on everyone's whereabouts, but it changed when it fell among the students.

When I meet someone who works in a unit, the students who are in charge of distribution are willing to talk to him a few more words, so that the relationship can be developed into a future network of contacts.For those who have to go to the countryside, a few words of comfort are essential. This kind of comfort may not necessarily be at home or at home, but it is just a policy that requires at least one person from a family to jump in line.

The worst thing is that they managed to stay in the city but did not get a job, so they had to stay at home, which meant that they couldn’t do their best at home, and the students who distributed the materials didn’t bother to talk to them.

But this kind of people is the most, who makes it difficult to assign work now.

Because there were too many people squatting at home because of the failure to implement the work, the air pressure in the entire classroom was tense, and it seemed that an invisible string was stretched between the students.

Some students who are usually on good terms, because of the huge difference in the assignment results, the way they look at each other has changed.

What about talking about friendship with classmates when you graduate? Everyone has a bright future.

Xu Jichang had long noticed the low air pressure in the classroom. He kept his eyes on the table from the beginning to the end, and tried to avoid eye contact with anyone. At this time, a wrong look may be interpreted by others.

With the current atmosphere, if we can finish distributing the materials safely and say goodbye to each other with a straight face, it will be considered a successful conclusion.

Xu Jichang thought to himself, he always felt that something happened in the classroom.

It really hit his premonition, and a roar erupted in front of the classroom after a while.

"Who are you looking down on? Grandpa, even if I'm waiting for a job at home, I'm still a good man!"

"If you dare to roll your eyes again, be careful I'll pick out your eyeballs!"

It was a boy who got angry, and the girl who was scolded by him was a few seats away from him. At this moment, the girl was covering her face and crying.

Xu Jichang knew from the sound that it was the pair who had caused a lot of trouble in the class in the past.

The boy who got angry was from an ordinary worker's family, and the girl who was scolded and cried was from a family of a state-owned factory cadre. The two are said to be dating and are currently caught in a cold war.

Of course, everything is just rumors, no one has caught real evidence, and no one dares to make a high-profile case in high school these days.

Xu Jichang reckoned that the man hadn't fulfilled the task, and the woman had fulfilled the task, and even provoked the man.

Sure enough, falling apart between lovers due to different paths is an eternal theme of graduation season in any era.

The students came forward to persuade them one after another, and the administrative teacher also sent a message to the two of them to give each of them [-] big boards, but these were all fuel to the fire. When the man and woman shocked everyone, they became more energetic.

Xu Jichang was too lazy to intervene in these nonsense matters, and just watched from his own position.

I saw that most of the students were on the girl's side. After all, she came from a cadre family, which was far superior to the boy's working family.

The atmosphere of this graduation season is too real!
Xu Jichang shook his head, and he couldn't comment further.

At this moment, a female activist came to Xu Jichang and handed him the materials: "Jichang, you are really the pride of our class. You have already joined the Dongfang Chemical Fertilizer Factory, and you are still employed within the plan."

"We can communicate more in the future."

On-schedule labor, the top class of temporary workers, is a stark difference from the unscheduled employment of the rest of the class.

When female activists saw the results of Xu Jichang's assignment, they began to speculate whether he had some kind of relationship.

Xu Jichang nodded vaguely: "If you have time, keep in touch."

When Xu Jichang spoke, he could clearly feel that many eyes had already focused on himself, and he couldn't care less about watching the scene where the couple parted ways.

"Xu Jichang is actually assigned to a provincial enterprise? Or is it a planned employment? Does he have a relationship with Tongtian?"

"That's not true. There are also quite a few cadre families in our class, and they can only be assigned to county-owned enterprises, which is not planned. Xu Jichang is obviously not right."

"It's really unobtrusive... I haven't heard him mention my relationship for three years in high school."

The students in the class stared at Xu Jichang and whispered to each other, and many of them had already made up a big drama in their minds.

It's no wonder that they have too much imagination. There are indeed many people in high positions in this era, and relatives with good connections in the family still live in the countryside.

The two parties may not have much contact or help each other in normal times, but they will give each other a hand at critical moments.

Everyone agreed that Xu Jichang was in this situation, and looked at him with surprise and eagerness in their eyes.

Some people have even started to take stock of all the important people who have been born in this county, trying to figure out which lineage Xu Jichang belongs to.

Well, I can't even keep a low profile if I want to be low-key now.

Xu Jichang was helpless, what else could he say, the more he tried to clarify now, the more convinced everyone was.

Even the administrative teacher on the stage said after seeing the situation: "Jichang, you are the best assigned in our class, and your usual grades are also the best."

"Come on stage and say a few words to your classmates."

(PS: This era already has the slogan of building four modernizations.)
