With the arrival of the first batch of university admission notices, the educated youth members of Babaoliang Village seem to be back to the state of a month ago, waiting for physical examination notices.
Everyone is looking forward to it every day, waiting for the arrival of the postman Xiaoliang, so that many people are not even in the mood to go to work.
Fortunately, the village cadres also knew everyone's situation, understood it, and didn't say much.
The same goes for those who received the admission notice, and they all stopped going to work.
Everyone was busy packing their things and preparing to end their queue-jumping life.
Although most new students register in mid-March, and a few at the end of March, it is definitely a bit early to go to school now.
However, due to the weather, most of the educated youth did not go home during the Chinese New Year, so they all wanted to leave early and go home first to see before going to school.
For those who wanted to leave early, the team did not stop them and gave them a certificate to let them go.
For a time, the entire Babaoliang Village was in a state of excitement!
On February 23, Liang Xiaoping sent the second batch of admission notices, this time there were more than 70.
On February 25, the third batch of admission notices arrived. This time, all educated youth members in Babaoliang Village who took the college entrance examination got a stepping stone to university.
As everyone got the admission notice as they wished, the brigade headquarters became lively again, with a large number of educated youth coming here every day to issue certificates.
This is also the stipulation above. Any educated youth who wants to leave the place where he joins the queue for any reason must issue a certificate to the production team or the commune.
The function of this certificate is to show that you have ended your life of jumping in line normally, instead of fleeing back to the city after being unable to endure the hardship. This is very important for educated youths to further their education and arrange their work in the future.
Although it cannot be said that these educated youths who have been admitted to college are responsive to their requests, they can cooperate as much as possible.
Compared with the somewhat sad mood of these educated youths who are about to leave, the homes of those village members whose children have gone to college have a different scene, and almost every household has to celebrate.
Although I don’t have the conditions to set up running water tables, I can always set up a few tables and invite relatives and friends to have a meal!
Even the old home of the Li family was not exempt from customs. The day after Li Youwei and Li Guoqiang received their admission notices, several tables were set up at home to celebrate the two brothers and sisters entering college together.
On that day, not only all the direct members of Lao Li's family were present, but also several in-laws were invited, and four large banquet tables were set up, which was very lively.
.........
On the evening of the 25th, as soon as Zhou Yang came back from the research institute, he saw Wang Ping, Cui Jinjin, Liu Lu and others in his house.
Seeing Zhou Yang push the door open and come in, Wang Ping immediately put down the enamel teapot in his hand and said with a smile: "You're back?"
"You're back, why are you here?" Zhou Yang replied while taking off the hat and scarf on his head.
"Don't all the educated youths have to leave now? I want to talk to you about some things!" Wang Ping said.
"What's going on?"
At this time, Cui Jinjin immediately said: "Old Zhou, what we mean is that we all get together before leaving. After all, we have stayed in the village for so many years. I don't know if there will be a chance to come back after this parting. Let's have a meal before leaving. Dinner, what do you think?"
"I have no objection, but it's best for the team to take care of this meal and give everyone a good farewell party!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "I am also an educated youth. One by one, everyone wears red flowers on their chests when they come. Street cadres and parents and villagers beat gongs and drums to bid farewell. You can't whisper quietly when you leave. Damn, you have to walk in glory!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ping said: "You're right, you educated youths are also indispensable for the development of our village. When you leave, the village must express your gratitude. This farewell party must be well organized. You should be killed." Those who kill pigs will kill pigs, and those who deserve sheep will kill sheep!”
Hearing this, Cui Jinjin, Liu Lu and others all had smiles on their faces.
Obviously, they are very satisfied with the result.
Zhou Yang was naturally very satisfied. Regardless of the fact that everyone had lived together helping and supporting each other for so many years, they should have a good get-together before parting.
Furthermore, the status of these educated youths is different now. From the moment they are admitted to college, they become state cadres.
For Babaoliang Village, the existence of these people is a huge resource.
You may not be able to see anything now, but in five or ten years, the effects will be evident.
All in all, no matter from the perspective of human sophistication or investment in the future, this farewell party must be held, and it must be grand.
At this time, Liu Lu suddenly said: "Zhou Yang, we have something to ask you for help when we come here today!"
"You can just say whatever you want. There's no need to be so polite between us!" Zhou Yang said.
"Can you find a place to sell food for us?" Liu Lu said.
After hearing this, Zhou Yang understood what it meant.
The educated youths had just distributed grain a few months ago. How could they eat so much grain in such a short period of time? So each of them now has at least several thousand kilograms of coarse and fine grain in his hands.
And these educated youths come from all over the country. Beijing, Northern Hebei Province, and Western Shanxi Province are all relatively close. There are also many people from Lu Province, Qin Province, and Henan Province. They are thousands of miles apart, so what? It is possible to take away so much food.
Since there is no way to take it away, we have to find a way to sell it, but there are too many of them, involving hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain. Where can they find such a big employer in such a short time?
Of course, the government also has places to collect grain, such as grain stations.
But the price is really low, and ordinary people will never sell grain to these departments if they have some means.
Therefore, Liu Lu meant that she wanted the team to help them digest the food.
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go back and count how much food there is, and then I will find someone to contact you!"
The institute purchases a large amount of food every month, and it doesn't matter who buys it.
Zhou Yang planned to ask Qiao Weiguo, Liu Lu and others to contact them and buy all the grain in their hands.
"Thank you so much. Comrades have been worrying about this for the past few days. They are reluctant to sell it at a low price. Other families in the village are not short of food, so there is really no place to sell it..."
"You're welcome!"
Before Liu Lu could finish speaking, Zhou Yang said again: "Have you got your certificates, files, etc. ready?"
"Everything is done. Now we just have to deal with the food and other things before we can leave!" Cui Qian said.
At this time Wang Ping suddenly said: "No, there is still something unhandled!"
"What's going on?"
At that moment, everyone's eyes were turned to Wang Ping.
"The work points of the educated youths for the past two months have not been calculated yet. If they just leave like this, wouldn't the village take advantage of the comrades?" Wang Ping said.
The work points of the educated youths were only settled until December last year. Now that everyone has worked hard for more than two months, the village must give an explanation.
Cui Jinjin glanced at Liu Lu, and then said: "Party Secretary Wang, how should we settle this matter? It's not until the end of the year, and we don't know how much one job (10 work points) will cost, so let's forget it!"
Liu Lu also echoed: "Anyway, I didn't work for long, and my comrades didn't say anything, so forget it!"
Bai Yang also said: "The village has helped us a lot in the past two years. There is no need to calculate Ding, Ding, Mao and Mao so carefully..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Yang said: "We can't just let it go, the village will not take advantage of everyone!"
"Besides, in the past two months, except for a few days of rest during the Chinese New Year, everyone has been working day and night for the rest of the time. If you work hard, you should be paid. This is a matter of course!"
Wang Ping immediately said: "What should we do?"
"Let the village finance department immediately calculate the work status of all educated youth members who are in college, and compensate them accordingly based on how much one work point last year was," Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, I'll let Accountant Liang and the others do the math. Anyway, there are only about two hundred people, and we're almost done in one day!" Wang Ping said.
"OK!"
Then Zhou Yang said to Cui Jinjin and Liu Lu: "You two are the educated youth captains of our village. Although you are about to resign, you still have to stand on the last duty. The farewell party will be left to you. Try to make it as lively as possible!”
"Okay, let's go back and figure it out and see what we should do!" Cui Qian said.
"Um..."
Then a few people chatted about other things, and didn't leave Zhou Yang's house until 8:30 in the evening...

PS: Yesterday, the girl’s head teacher called and said that the child’s ears hurt badly and that she should be sent to the hospital immediately.
Lao Cang took him to the children's hospital. He was told that his ears were inflamed and he was given some medicine. As a result, there was no improvement after taking medicine. The child was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep all night. He went to the hospital again this morning. He still said that his ear was inflamed. He could only take anti-inflammatory medicine and there was no other way. Annoying!
