Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forestry farm

However, because of Sheng Xiping's incident, Sheng Xian's family review was stuck.

There was a discussion among the leaders at the venue, and some people said that Sheng Xian's brother had gone in. This had a bad influence, and Sheng Xian must not be allowed to go to college.

Some people also say that they are elder brothers and not parents, so they cannot be counted as such.

Sheng Xi'an was the only one from Qianchuan Forestry Farm who was admitted to college this year, and there were only a few from the entire Ersongjianghe Forestry Bureau. This was the forestry farm's honor.

Don't let Sheng Xi'an's brother's affairs affect his younger brother's future. What's more, there was already a problem with Sheng Xiping's case.

There was no dispute in the field, so we had to listen to the opinions of the bureau.

However, the Sun family is now in the spotlight. Since the two families have a deadly feud, how can the Sun family get a college student from the Sheng family?

If Sheng Xi'an has some luck in the future and rises to prominence, wouldn't it be detrimental to the Sun family?

So Sheng Xian failed to pass the review.

Sheng Xi'an almost went crazy because of this blow, and his mental state was not good.

Sheng Xi'an's uncle Zhang Shouzhi had joined the army and fought in the war. Later, he was injured and demobilized and worked in the Fushun coal mine.

Zhang Shouzhi had no sons in his family, only two daughters. After learning about the situation here, he wrote to discuss how to adopt Sheng Xi'an.

Then he retired early and let Sheng Xian take over.

Sheng Liancheng discussed it with his wife and children and felt that this was the best way.

Sheng Xi'an saw that there was no hope of going to school. The Sun family was suppressing her here, and it would be difficult to recruit workers. She might as well go to Fushun to take over, and at least have a job.

In this way, Sheng Xi'an went to Fushun, took over from his uncle Zhang Shouzhi, and became a worker in the coal mine.

Sheng Xi'an is educated and has connections with his uncle, so he is developing well there.

Although Fushun's coal mine resources were gradually decreasing and it had undergone asset restructuring in the late 1990s, Sheng Xian was already considered a core cadre at that time, so it did not have much impact.

Later, he still worked in the group company and lived a good life.

Third brother, you have to work harder. Maybe the policy will change in the future and you will still have the opportunity to take the exam.

If both you and your second brother can go to college, our family will be considered a shining star.

Sheng Xiping also brought some food to the third child, Sheng Xikang.

How is the teacher here teaching? Do you understand?

The third child is two years younger than the second child, but he was born in the twelfth lunar month, so he studied for a year at night and is currently in the second grade of junior high school.

There was no middle school in Maekuan before. When Sheng Xiping was in junior high school, he went to Songjianghe.

When he arrived in Shengxi'an, the Forestry Bureau set up middle schools in Shuguang Forest Farm, Manjiang Forest Farm and other places, so he went to Shuguang Forest Farm to study.

After the Chinese New Year this year, I was supposed to go back to Shuguang Middle School to go to school. However, a fire broke out in the student dormitory of Shuguang Middle School and the whole place was burned down.

It happened that there were many students in Maekuan, so a middle school was established here. Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang both came back to study.

Sheng Xikang was also good at school. He originally graduated from high school in 1978 and had to take the college entrance examination.

But there was an example of the second brother there. Sheng Xikang knew that it was still unclear whether he could pass the exam. Even if he did pass the exam, the Sun family might still cause trouble.

If you pass the exam and can't study, it will be even worse, so you might as well not take the exam.

So after graduating from high school, Sheng Xikang was unemployed and waiting at home to find a job.

At that time, as long as they were the children of forest workers and unmarried unemployed young people, they could take over from their fathers.

Sheng Liancheng was engaged in heavy physical labor and could retire early, so Sheng Xikang took over and became a worker.

The two younger brothers in the family were originally qualified to study in higher education, but because of Sheng Xiping, they were unable to enter higher education.

Although the two of them lived well later, Sheng Xiping always felt ashamed of his brothers.

However, the younger brothers never complained. Sheng Xiping's success in development was indispensable without the help of his younger brothers.

Our teacher is a newly assigned technical secondary school student, and his lectures are very good. He is not very young, and he even takes us to play together after class.

Sheng Xikang is more cheerful than his second brother, loves to talk and laugh, and is very popular in school.

Brother, don't worry, we will study hard. Sheng Xikang nodded heavily and agreed.

Brother, you said the policy will change in the future? Is that true? Will there really be a chance to study in the future?

Sheng Xi'an, who was busy eating, stopped using his chopsticks, raised his head, and looked at his brother with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Sheng Xi'an is about to graduate from high school. For them, they are really confused now and don't know where the future is.

Yes, don't lose heart, keep at it.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared. As long as you don't give up learning, you will gain something sooner or later.

Sheng Xiping looked at his younger brother with a smile and said warmly.

Well, brother, I understand. Don't worry, we will definitely study hard.

Sheng Xian seemed to see hope, and his eyes suddenly became firm. He smiled at his brother, lowered his head and continued eating.

As the old saying goes, a poor man will eat a poor man, and this is true.

Just like Sheng Xi'an and the others, they are all teenagers and a half, their stomachs feel like bottomless pits day by day, and no matter how much food they eat, there is not enough for them.

In addition to supplying food every month, the Sheng family also has to secretly spend money to get food stamps and buy high-priced food.

Otherwise, we need to exchange the fine grains supplied with coarse grains from Dajichang Village, so that we can have enough food.

In the evening, I simmered a pot of sorghum rice and the vegetables. By the time everyone stopped using their chopsticks, the pots were clean and nothing was left.

The two girls quickly started to clear away the dishes, and Zhang Shuzhen followed them to the ground, turned on the light in the outhouse kitchen, and boiled water again to prepare for the pheasant.

Sheng Xiping suddenly remembered that he had promised to leave the pheasant tail feathers to Zhou Qinglan, so he went to the kitchen and started plucking the feathers.

Brother, please pluck out these hairs too, I want to keep them.

Sheng Yunfang pointed to the feathers on the back of the pheasant near the tail and said.

I'm just looking for trouble for your brother. The pheasant has been dead for a long time. How troublesome is it to pluck it? Just leave a few long ones.

On the other side, Zhang Shuzhen heard this and scolded her daughter.

Generally speaking, the best time to pluck a chicken's feathers is right after it dies and when its body is still warm.

By this time, the pheasant had already cooled down, so it would be more troublesome to pluck the feathers.

Zhang Shuzhen felt distressed that her son had to plucking his hair to coax his sister after working all day.

Your brother went to shovel saplings. He was exhausted from a day's work in the mountains, and he even shot a pheasant for you.

It’s nice to have meat to eat, but why do you need so much hair? Flying all over the house?

Mom, it's okay, it's just a few chicken feathers. I have strong hands and I pulled them out in a while.

Isn’t the water in your pot not boiling yet?

These hairs are very pretty and quite long. It’s nice to leave a feather shuttlecock for them to play with.

Sheng Xiping didn't think so. If his own sister didn't care, who else would?

Yes, just spoil them as much as you can. Zhang Shuzhen actually loved her daughter, she just said it casually.

Sheng Xiping smiled, didn't answer any more, and just lowered his head to pluck his hair.

After a while, the pheasant tail feathers were plucked out.
