In a blink of an eye, it became colder. As the New Year's Eve approached, the whole village was filled with a New Year's Eve atmosphere. After all, the New Year's Eve is the happiest year round. Every household starts to buy New Year's goods. After the only pig farmer in the village killed the pig, the villagers from all over the country came to buy pork.

Zhou Zekai likes this New Year atmosphere very much. Although it is cold, in the traps on his mountain, he also caught rabbits and pheasants who went out to hunt because of the cold. He took these things and went to Yang Yuehua's home. Village Chief Yang has already said that this year, let Zhou Zekai live at his home.

When Zhou Zekai passed by, Village Chief Yang was sitting on the stage smoking. His hands were frozen red and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Uncle Yang." Zhou Zekai walked over, and Village Chief Yang showed a sudden expression, and then quickly greeted Zhou Zekai.

"A Kai, hurry up and go into the house. It's very cold outside. I think it's going to snow these two days. I don't know how much snow it will be..."

Zhou Zekai followed the village chief Yang into the house. The house was indeed much warmer. Since it became cold, Zhou Zekai's clothes were almost made by Yang Yuehua. Now he is wearing a blue cotton jacket made by Yang Yuehua. It is very warm and the stitches are very dense.

After coming in, Yang's mother saw Zhou Zekai.

"I came here as soon as I came, why are you doing this thing? Have you gone up the mountain again? It's not safe on the mountain now, what if it snows? And every winter, if there are animals in the back mountain that can't eat and attack people, don't go up the mountain during this period, do you understand?"

Yang's mother really treated Zhou Zekai as her son during this period. When she heard Zhou Zekai say that she had gone up the mountain, she quickly explained.

"Well, aunt, I understand, I won't go in the future."

Zhou Zekai nodded obediently and handed the things in his hand to Yang's mother. Village Chief Yang's house has eaten a lot of meat in the past six months, and each of them is in good spirits.

When Yang Yuehua came out to clean up, she saw Zhou Zekai. After saying hello, she went to help her mother cook. She knew that when Zhou Zekai came over, her father always liked to talk to Zhou Zekai.

In the room, Village Chief Yang was smoking a silence, and he didn't know why his brows were frowning.

"Uncle Yang, is there something that makes you embarrassed?"

Zhou Zekai looked at the village chief Yang like this and asked, "I don't know what could make Village Chief Yang embarrassed." Now the village has made a lot of money for every household because of making a first-time flower. After the last time, he made a first-time flower deal with the department store, he made four more first-time flowering times. The village will definitely be able to survive this year.

When Village Chief Yang heard Zhou Zekai's words, he raised his head with a complicated expression, looked at Zhou Zekai in front of him, and said.

"A Kai, do you know the time when the first educated youth went to the countryside?"

It has been a year or two for educated youth to go to the countryside. Zhou Zekai nodded when he heard his father mention it.

"I know, it should be about thirty years."

It has been thirty years since it was exactly what year and it was not easy to say it casually.

Village Chief Yang picked up the bong in his hand and knocked it on the table a few times, with an indescribable sadness in his voice.

"Since thirty years ago, educated youth went to the countryside, the village has actually been changed a lot. At that time, I was not the village chief, and I met many educated youths. Do you know... what happened to those educated youths in the end?"

The story of the past may be the most heartbreaking. Zhou Zekai knew just by listening to Village Chief Yang’s tone that those educated youth must have returned to the city. There are only a few places to return to the city, and there are so many educated youth, so it is impossible to allocate this place...

Therefore, there must be someone who will never be able to return to the city in his entire life. So what will be the ending of such an educated youth?

Zhou Zekai did not answer, he had some vague guesses, but Village Chief Yang continued.

"If you agree to come to the countryside, you will definitely understand that no one who comes to be an educated youth will be unable to go back for at least five or six years. Some people will even be in this mountain for the rest of their lives. Thirty years ago, I met the first batch of educated youth who went to the countryside. At that time, it was the one who taught me to learn. I am very grateful to them. They brought the most different changes to this mountain. Even the name of the village is Pinghua Village, which is also their name. Our village used to be called Nangou Village, and the difficult gouzi..."

Village Chief Yang was swallowing the clouds and fog, thinking back to the past, but there was more loneliness in his expression.

"The arrival of those educated youths has really brought new changes to my life, but the same is true for those educated youths. When they chose to come here by themselves or passively, their lives have changed! At that time, the first batch of educated youths came to the village five years later. There were fifty or sixty educated youths in the village, but there were only five people on the list of returning to the city. I will never forget the intrigues of those educated youths at that time, their former friends turned against each other, and female educated youth had a relationship with the village party secretary who had the list of returning to the city. At that time, I realized that even if they came to the village, their hearts were still in the city. No matter what the price they paid, they still wanted to go back..."

It may be a good thing for the educated youth to go to the countryside, but it is not a good thing for these educated youths from the city, because they also miss home and want to go home and stay in this mountain for a lifetime. What does that feel like? It is full of pain and torture, and every minute and every second seems to be torture...

"After the five quotas were selected, there were five quotas every year, but every year new educated youth came to the village. Those educated youth became smarter and smarter and knew how to please the leaders. Some came a year and asked their families to spend money to buy a list. Those who came early in the morning and had no money at home could only continue to survive hopelessly in the village. A Kai, you know... Why were there no educated youth in Pinghua Village before you came?"

Suddenly he turned his head and looked at Zhou Zekai. Village Chief Yang's question made Zhou Zekai stunned, and then shook his head.

"have no idea."

It has been a year or two for educated youth to go to the countryside, so logically speaking, there should be some educated youth in every village, and it is impossible for them to go back to the city.

"Because they are all crazy, and some have been dead for so many years and have finally got the chance to go home, so they want to abandon everything and go home. But do you think it's possible? After staying in this village for decades, they have already taken root here, got married and had children. Since the first time the educated youth returned to the city, there were women and children left behind in our village, and there were also female educated youth who didn't want their husbands or children. Even if those people in the city really got married and had children in the village, they would still abandon all the people who returned to the city once they had the chance to go back to the city. Later, an abandoned woman here went crazy. She and her crazy mother killed many educated youths in the village at night. The educated youth who witnessed that incident were almost crazy..."

This is why there are no educated youth in Pinghua Village in recent years. The most important thing is that the massacre was that. In addition, it is because of the people in the village who rejected educated youth. This time, Pinghua Village finally accepted educated youth and was also the person selected by Village Chief Yang himself. There is a list in the village every year, which means that these educated youth have the opportunity to go back.

It was the first time that Zhou Zekai heard about the darkness of this era. Sometimes, although educated youth went to the countryside, there were many bad places. For example, it was normal for educated youth to abandon their wives when they had the opportunity to go home. Female educated youth also paid unimaginable prices to return to the city, just because they did not want to stay in such a place with no future.

I don’t know why Village Chief Yang told him about this, but Zhou Zekai looked at Village Chief Yang. It was the New Year, but he was still so frowning.

Village Chief Yang looked up and looked at Zhou Zekai. The things he had been struggling with thousands of times in his heart finally had the courage to say them at this moment.

"A Kai, I'm not hiding you. The list of educated youths returning to the city this year has been sent out, because our village has not had educated youth for many years. Now there is one quota per year. I have one quota this year. If you want to go home, I will arrange this quota for you."

This time, Zhou Zekai was really stunned. Unexpectedly, Village Chief Yang would say such words. The other party always wanted to be his son-in-law. But now, with the opportunity to return to the city, Village Chief Yang was the first to leave it to him. Could it be... he wasn't he afraid that he would never come back?

Zhou Zekai suddenly had a smile on his face, and then he became bigger and bigger. Looking at Village Chief Yang, for the first time, he felt that being thoughtful about it was like this, just like his parents treating him.

Village Chief Yang felt that seeing Zhou Zekai's smile, his heart skipped a beat and sighed in his heart, hoping that his girl would not blame him. If Zhou Zekai really chose to go back to the city, he could not guarantee whether the other party would come back again... But even so, Village Chief Yang still hoped to give the person in front of him a chance to choose and a chance to go home.

He really likes this smart and wise young man.

"Uncle Yang, I can't ask for this quota." After Zhou Zekai said that, he saw that the village chief Yang looked a little surprised and explained.

"Uncle Yang, let me tell you the truth. I came to the countryside, but it was not arranged by the above, but decided after discussing with my father. When I was at home, I always felt bored following my father's footsteps, so I thought about developing myself. I hope to stay in the village to contribute to the development of the village, and I hope to influence more people. So I don't plan to return to the city within five or six years. Uncle Yang, please arrange this quota for other educated youth..."

Village Chief Yang really understood now. No wonder Zhou Zekai has been cooperating like this since he went to the countryside. It turned out that they were willing to go to the countryside, not forced like other educated youth. Moreover, they are a person who does big things and want to build the development of the village! Thinking of this, Village Chief Yang suddenly felt happy! He patted Zhou Zekai on the shoulder.
