Chapter 49 Zhong Yuemin Is Gone

Zhong Yuemin was just talking, but in the end he didn't dare to take off his pants, wolfed down two large bowls of dumplings, and then lay comfortably on the kang to talk nonsense with Shen Long and Zheng Tong.

"We don't necessarily have coal mines in our place. We can run consignment stores, medical centers, and schools. Having these in the village is indeed a lot more convenient. When I go back to the city, I'll ask someone to do it for our Shichuan Village. Come on." He is still willing to help others, and in the future, he recruited Cao Gang and other students who were not satisfied with life into his restaurant, which shows a lot of problems.

It's just that he has been obsessed with Xintianyou since he came to northern Shaanxi, but he didn't expect it for the time being. Now that his old friend has done so much, he wants to try it too. He even thinks that as long as he works hard, he can do better than him.

"Our village already has one, so you can talk about it better if you talk about it. As long as you talk to them well, if it doesn't work, go to Director Ma of the Educated Youth Office. He will definitely be willing to help." If it's his own business, Zhong Yuemin may not be willing to go. Looking for Ma Guiping, but now he is helping the village, and he will not leave if he has such a relationship; these cadres' children are very familiar with this kind of thing.

"Kui Yong, you have been educated by the poor and lower-middle peasants during this time, which is completely different from when you were in the capital." Zhong Yuemin said with emotion. When Li Kuiyong only knew how to fight fiercely in the capital, he would think of this.

"Thinking about those things, I find it ridiculous. I used to think that you can convince people with your fists, but now you know that if you want people to convince you from the heart, you have to do something to make them admire." Shen Long said with emotion Dao said, coming to northern Shaanxi to join the team this time was also a test for him. Seeing how Bai Mingchuan and the others were grateful to him because of some small changes in the village, Shen Long's mood was also very complicated.

They don't want much, as long as they bring a little bit of benefit to the village, they will convince you from the bottom of their hearts. Next time Shen Long wants to do something, even if they don't understand it temporarily, they will support it. That's how prestige is. tree up.

"Kuiyong, I didn't expect you to have this kind of book here?" Zheng Tong said holding a copy of "Song History". In the few meetings he had with Li Kuyong before, he didn't see that he would like to read books. And it's history books.

"It's too boring here. I don't have much entertainment except reading." Shen Long also didn't know if he would enter the historical world to do missions in the future, so he could just take advantage of this time to make some preparations.

Speaking of this, Shen Long mentioned by the way, "Besides, I think the country still needs scholars. Don't look at the current chaos. Universities have stopped enrolling students, but they will recover sooner or later. There is no harm in reading more books in advance." .”

These words are somewhat inappropriate in this day and age, but neither Zhong Yuemin nor Zheng Tong are good at making small reports. Zheng Tong was thoughtful when he heard this. He came from a family of high-level intellectuals and naturally respected knowledge. The situation made him lose the opportunity to go to university for further studies, and he has always been brooding about it.

Hearing what Shen Long said today, hope was rekindled in his heart. Yes, it is impossible for a country to not need intellectuals. Maybe in a few years, universities will start recruiting students again?

The three of them talked all night, and Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong left early the next morning with what Shen Long gave them. Zhong Yuemin carried a bag of cornmeal, and Zheng Tong carried a bag of books.

"Zheng Tong, can't you help me recite some? You let me carry so much cornmeal back to Shichuan Village alone? Is this book edible or drinkable?" Before leaving, the two of them returned to the way they were before. look like.

"The cornmeal was given to you by Kui Yong. I don't have that much face. It's all Kui Yong's wish. Who will you carry?" Zheng Tong retorted with a playful smile.

"Are you capable of going back and not eating?" Zhong Yuemin said angrily.

"They are all revolutionary comrades in arms. This is our collective food." Now Zheng Tong stopped saying that the cornmeal was for Zhong Yuemin.

A few days after Zhong Yuemin and the others left,

Hu Jianjun, Jiang Shaoan, and Liu Ying came back, and when they came back, they brought a lot of gifts for them, and then packed up their own things, preparing to go to Tongchuan Coal Technology Institute to study.

The night before leaving, ten educated youths got together and got drunk with the food and wine they brought. Those who were about to leave thanked Shen Long a lot, and patted their chests and promised to bring gifts back to see them whenever they had time. , Weeping silently if they want to stay here, they don't know how long it will take to leave here.

The three of them came and went. The educated youths in Baidian Village were quite empty, and Shen Long was the only one left in the boys' cave. He could do his own things with peace of mind. Every night, he lit a kerosene lamp and wrote on paper. Write and draw, and then hide it carefully; Qin Ling will come to find him when everyone is asleep.

Sun Xiaoxia and the others probably figured it out, but no one said much. They also talked about each other's lives with the educated youths in other educated youth camps. It's all thanks to Shen Long, and they are all kind people.

After a while, the county leaders came with the 147 exploration team, and the educated youths got busy again. Shen Long took them all day long to explore the mountains and plains, digging holes to search for coal seams, Sun Xiaoxia served as the team doctor, and the rest of the girls were divided into two groups. One class continues to work as a teacher for the school in the village, and the other class cooks for the exploration team, taking turns every few days.

At that time, the exploration team couldn't just send money to the helpers, but they did eat with them. Now the living standard of the workers is much higher than that of the educated youths and farmers, and everyone is very happy.

Under the reminder of Shen Long, the exploration team focused on the range of 400 to 800 meters underground, drilled a few holes, and found a thick coal seam. Now there are coal mines around Baidian Village The matter has been basically determined, and the next thing to determine is how big this coal field is and how many reserves it has.

These tasks need to be carried out slowly, and the 147 exploration team will still be busy here for a while, and Shen Long and the others are happy to eat and drink with them.

Shen Long thought that Zhong Yuemin was about to run out of food, so he carried dozens of catties and sent them there. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the educated youth spot in Shichuan Village, he learned that Zhong Yuemin was going to be a soldier.

Zhong Yuemin was a little embarrassed to leave everyone alone, but Shen Long didn't care, Zhong Yuemin was not suitable to stay here for a long time, it would be good if he could serve as a soldier, he managed to get some wine for Zhong Yuemin to practice.

A few days later, Zhong Yuemin left with his own things. Zheng Tong was a little confused. After Zhong Yuemin left, he became even more lonely. Shen Long patted him on the shoulder so that he could visit Baidian Village often.
