Chapter 792 Awakening

Dingsi year, Jiyou month, Guisi day, October 3rd in the Gregorian calendar, August 21st in the lunar calendar.

A series of reports and documents with the stamp of "urgent" such as "Opinions on resuming higher education enrollment in **" were submitted to the *** meeting for discussion.

——

Today, when the afterglow was not yet gone and the night was just beginning, Han Li stood on the hillside outside Shanghe Village, watching the smoke rising from the village and the people who were finishing their work in the fields and preparing to go home.

There is little unfinished farm work left in the fields of Shanghe Village. Since the beginning of this year's autumn harvest, all the strong laborers have been assigned to harvest soybeans, sorghum, corn and other heavier and more tiring farm work.

The only tractor in the village still does not rest when people rest. Crops such as potatoes, peanuts and beets are plowed out by the tractor, and the elderly, weak women and children pick them up and pile them on the roadside, which are transported away by horse carriages, ox carts or tractors.

Most of the time during the day, the tractors were transporting the crops from the fields to the threshing grounds, and at night they were either plowing the crops or threshing them, which saved Shanghe Village nearly one-third of the time for autumn harvest this year compared to previous years.

Han Li looked carefully from far to near on the hillside, as if he wanted to imprint all the scenes in front of him in his mind. He took a deep breath until the night fell, raised his hand to collect Ruhua, Siyu, the head dog and the four little lynxes, and walked towards the village.

Han Li first took a bath by the river. The river water in October was already quite cold. Even Han Li's increasingly strong body was still cold when he came out of the river. He did two consecutive boxing postures to raise his body temperature.

Then Han Li changed into clean clothes, walked to the village head to get his bicycle and rode into the village.

However, Han Li did not go home directly this time. Instead, he went to the warehouse next to the threshing ground based on his experience in previous years and found Village Chief Zhao and Team Leader Liang who were repairing farm tools while discussing how much grain they could harvest this year.

"Village Chief, Team Leader."

"Han Li, why are you back? Isn't the hospital busy recently?"

"It's still the same at the unit. I came back this time to discuss something with you."

"You guys are always very cautious. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Han Li smiled and sat next to the two of them, saying while passing out cigarettes.

"I want the village to quickly send someone to take over the flying dragon breeding business of my sister He Mi."

The two shook their pipes. They looked down on the weak cigarettes. They filled their pipes and lit them up and asked.

"Why do you suddenly ask this question? Have you found a job for He Mi?"

"No, it's not that easy to find a job. I want her to concentrate on studying at home."

"Study? Did you get the news that our village will be allocated a quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University recently?"

"No, even if you help He Mi get this place, it's not too late for her to study at school? Why do we have to hand over the work of breeding flying dragons now?"

Han Li had told them about this matter from the side before, but now from their looks and the tone of their words, it was obvious that they didn't take it seriously, so Han Li took out some newspapers from his bag again while talking. This time, the number and variety of newspapers were more complete. After spreading them out, he pointed to the articles he had put on the surface and said.

"Actually, I talked about this some time ago, but after I sorted out all the newspapers I could find, I was more certain of the idea in my heart."

Then Han Li pointed out the key words in these newspapers one by one with his fingers and patiently told them.

"During this period, many newspaper articles have mentioned the importance of talents and the need for development. It has been mentioned that the country needs talents and even more talent reserves, which shows that the number of people recommended to go to college can no longer meet the country's needs.

But how do these talents come from? Where do they come from? Of course, they come from the broad masses of the people, so I guess the country may have to restore the examination system for technical secondary schools and universities."

Han Li said that the two of them looked at the articles pointed by Han Li under the light in the warehouse that was not much brighter than a lantern. After a while, Captain Liang raised his head and said indifferently.

"I feel that your guess is wrong. If the number of talents is not enough, can't we just increase the number of recommended places? Why must we restore the examination that has been suspended for nearly eleven years? Isn't this unreasonable at all?"

After hearing Captain Liang's doubts, Han Li suddenly understood why they didn't take what he said seriously.

You must know that even if there are quotas for workers, peasants and soldiers to go to the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers in the village, they must ask for their consent to let anyone go or not.

Whether it is educated youth or villagers in the village, anyone who goes to college must owe them favors. They are the beneficiaries of the recommendation system.

If we think about this from the perspective of protecting their own interests, the beneficiaries generally do not want such changes to happen, so they did not take Han Li's original words to heart, or they did not want to think about it at all.

Han Li, who had figured it out, laughed at himself in his heart. He was still too young and his ideas were too simple. He thought that as long as he gave a little hint from the side, everyone would study hard and work hard for a better tomorrow.

But Han Li did not think about human nature, inertia, laziness, interests, etc. These issues, let alone Village Chief Zhao and others, I am afraid that even Zhang Xiangjun and Zhang Yaozu thought the same way.

Maybe there are still people who are laughing at him behind his back because of his words of advice, saying things like a well-fed man and a hungry man who doesn’t know how hungry he is. This is just human nature.

Han Li was very depressed by his speculation, but in Shanghe Village, whether it was Village Chief Zhao, Captain Liang or many villagers, no matter what the reason, they all treated him well, so he thought about it and spoke again.

"There is nothing wrong with what the captain said. After all, resuming the exam involves too much, and it is far less reliable than quietly increasing the number of recommended places. But if that is really the case, why have these news been published continuously in many newspapers in the past few months.

Is there a possibility that although those who are recommended to go to the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University are good, many of them are too old when they go to school. There will be no problem if they serve as leaders or ordinary employees after graduation, but if they are engaged in academic and scientific research Are you having a hard time keeping up? "

Han Li stopped talking at this point. Although he still had many opinions on this matter in his heart, those thoughts could only be hidden in his heart forever.

Of course, Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang knew the many rigid requirements for being recommended to go to school. Most of those who could meet the standards were not too young when they went to school. From this point of view, Han Li's guess seemed to be correct. .

There was silence in the warehouse for a long time. Village Chief Zhao refilled a bag of cigarettes and lit it before saying.

"Things regarding the resumption of examinations can only be decided by superiors. What's the point of us bickering here? No matter what, we can just carry out the orders of superiors. However, if the village sends people to take over Feilong, there must be men and women. At that time, I’m afraid it won’t be convenient for He Mi and the others to continue living in that courtyard.”

"When the time comes, just let He Mi and Hou Yuhua move into my house. I'm busy at work and don't come back often. Even if I want to come back for a while, don't I still have a south room in my house? I can live there if I tidy it up. "

"Okay, let's consider who should take over this matter, but it's about He Mi's house."

"I know that the village was quite nervous last year due to the reduction in production, so I have made the final decision on the issue of Hemi's yard. I will temporarily contribute it to our village for use. We will discuss this matter when the conditions in the village improve."

After the matter was finalized, Han Li returned to his home after coming out of the warehouse. At this time, He Mi and Hou Yuhua had just had dinner, and they were washing dishes and wiping the table when they arrived.

"Brother Han is back."

"Is it okay for you to go to the mountains this time?"

"I'm back. With my skills and the help of Ruhua, Xiyu and Tougou, everything will be fine."

"Brother Han, haven't you eaten yet? I'll cook whatever you want to eat."

"I can just deal with one bite. I'll eat whatever you do."

With the help of a wood-burning stove and two women with quick hands and feet, Han Li had his dinner for the day in no time.

However, when he was eating, he talked about what he had just discussed with Village Chief Zhao and the others. He Mi was relatively calm. Whatever Han Li said was whatever she said. She just had to follow it, even if the house was temporarily donated to her. No questions were raised.

But after hearing this, Hou Yuhua's face became a little ugly. Now she only needs to carry the basket on her back and take the dog outside to pinch two baskets of weeds and buds every day.

What if she and He Mi are not allowed to raise a flying dragon? Do you have to go to the fields every day to earn work points like before?

Although Hou Yuhua's current food, drink and daily necessities are basically provided by Han Li, it would be fine even if she, like the new educated youths, earns one work point every day and comes back.

But Hou Yuhua knew her situation. She could still help by feeding the flying dragon, but if she really lost her current job, she was worried that she would gradually be abandoned by Han Li and the others.

Han Li saw the change in Hou Yuhua's expression and roughly guessed what she was thinking, so he said with a smile.

"This matter will have to wait until the autumn harvest is over in a few days. During this time, you can dump the scattered items into this yard first, and don't be reluctant in your hearts.

If my calculation is correct, the thing I have been talking about before should be announced soon. The purpose of asking you to withdraw from raising flying dragons now is so that you two can study with peace of mind.

Even if I guess wrong this time, I promise to find a way to help you find an easier job before next spring. I will never let you work in the fields every day to earn work points like other people. "

After Han Li said this, Hou Yuhua's expression became a little more relaxed, and he left after finishing the meal and waiting for them to clean up.

Han Li sat alone in the yard and stared at the stars in the sky. This year it was necessary to go back to Sijiu City to go to college. He was also confident that he could get into the school he wanted to go to.

Now Han Li is thinking about which major he will enroll in when the time comes, which will affect which unit or company he will be assigned to in the future.

Han Li didn't care about the Qingshui Yamen. What he cared about was that the units sounded high-end and his family said they had a good reputation when going out. The most important thing was that they could satisfy his desire to work freely and fish.

After thinking about it, the time came to midnight. Han Li put these thoughts behind his mind and got up to make a surprise inspection on Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying and how they were doing with their recent homework.
