Chapter 30 Three Bicycles
It was still light in the afternoon of the fourth day, and the road had been repaired.
30 village names stood in the youth courtyard while receiving their wages while watching Jiang Xiaobai waiting for the result.
As for today, a total of five yuan was sent. Although the road was built in four days, Jiang Xiaobai still gave them six days of wages, and they didn't care much.
After 4 days, I made a total of 3 yuan, which is equivalent to the work points earned by working in the village for a month.
It is said that everyone should be very happy, but now everyone is very worried. After this period of time, they all tasted the sweetness.
They hope to change this unchanging life, and they hope to change this poor life.
They like the hopeful life these days.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at a pair of expectant eyes, knowing that they had changed a lot from five days ago.
In fact, Jiang Xiaobai didn't want to help the villagers of Jianhua Village, but sometimes some people really couldn't help Adou.
As long as they want to change this kind of life, Jiang Xiaobai can help them.
As soon as Jiang Xiaobai was about to speak, he heard the sound of "jingle bells" coming from outside the courtyard.
Then three brand-new bicycles were ridden into the yard by Wang Xiaojun and others.
Behind the three of them were many villagers who watched the excitement. At this time, bicycles are a real rarity, not to mention in the countryside, even in the city.
is much rarer than later cars, even Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
"What brand of bicycle is this? I heard people say that Phoenix bicycles are the best."
"I can't tell. The last time I went to the city, I saw someone riding a bicycle, but I don't know what brand it was."
"This bicycle is very expensive, I heard it costs more than 200 yuan, and even if you have money, you need a bicycle ticket to buy it."
"Yes, a relative and child in my city wanted to get married. They had enough money for bicycles, but they couldn't get bicycle tickets."
The villagers were discussing, Wang Xiaojun stopped his bicycle and looked at Jiang Xiaobai with excitement and said, "Brother Xiaobai, the bicycle is back."
At that time, the appointment with Mr. Wang was to pick up the bicycles in five days. It was just right that the road construction was in the final stage today. So many people were not needed. Jiang Xiaobai sent Wang Chao and Wang Xiaojun to the county to pick up bicycles.
"Well," Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and didn't want to try the bike. He really couldn't get excited about the bike.
If he gets a car, he might want to try his hand, but the bicycle is fine.
The 30 villagers who helped build the road looked at the three bicycles neatly parked in the yard, and Jiang Xiaobai's eyes became even more fiery.
What is strength, this is strength. Three brand-new bicycles are placed side by side in the yard, which is equivalent to three Mercedes-Benz parked side by side in later generations.
"Everyone performed very well this time in the road construction. I can see that, so all 30 of you will stay here for the time being. The salary is still calculated at 50 cents a day when the road is being built."
Jiang Xiaobai couldn't stand the fiery eyes of everyone, and he quickly announced it.
The youth's courtyard was quiet for a while, and then there was a loud cheering.
The other villagers around the yard looked at the 30 people with envy and jealousy.
Dogdan was also in the crowd. Looking at Jiang Xiaobai's figure, there was something indescribable in his eyes.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, 15 villagers went up to the mountain to pick yellow peaches, two were responsible for truck transportation, and the remaining 13 villagers were responsible for making canned food.
And Jiang Xiaobai called 14 urban youths and Wang Chao into his room.
"Brother Xiaobai, what's the matter? Shouldn't we hurry up to make canned food?" Liu Aiguo asked with some confusion looking at Jiang Xiaobai.
"Yes, Brother Xiaobai, what happened?" Wang Xiaojun also asked aloud.
"Wang Chao, let's talk about it." Jiang Xiaobai thought for a while and looked at Wang Chao and said.
"Well," Wang Chao nodded, and Huang Tao said in the eyes of everyone's doubts: "I went home yesterday, and my brother-in-law Song Weiguo said that there may be news from above that the college entrance examination will be resumed this year."
"Didn't it recover last year? It has nothing to do with us. We are all poorly prepared and sent to work, or we have offended people. Otherwise, I heard that we are the last batch of urban youths. It's not going to be dragged."
Liu Aiguo said with a smile, apparently now that he doesn't take these things to heart, he can say it at will.
Just aside, Li Siyan's face sank instantly after hearing it, and a bit of bitterness appeared in his eyes, but he soon recovered.
"Yes, Brother Xiaobai, everyone knows this. If we have the hope of taking college entrance examinations, who will be sent to work. Besides, we all graduated from junior high school, so we can go to college." Wang Xiaojun also said.
Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand, and the room instantly became quiet.
"I got news that maybe this time the college entrance examination is fully restored. Family status is no longer a problem. Moreover, it seems that the urban youth who are dispatched to us are taken care of. Those who graduated from junior high school and are dispatched to work can also be admitted to college.
Jiang Xiaobai spoke slowly, trying to use some uncertain words in his words, but he knew in his heart that the news was indeed true.
The country fully resumed the college entrance examination this year. Regardless of family status, you can take the college entrance examination. Of course, this is a policy.
But there must be deviations in the specific implementation, but there is finally hope to return to the city.
And Jiang Xiaobai knew that some urban youths, after being dispatched, taught themselves with books all day long, and were admitted to university after the resumption of the college entrance examination. The assignment of graduation has completely changed their destiny.
However, more urban youths have gone to raise pigs, and the resumption of the college entrance examination has long been a waste of time. They have forgotten everything they studied at school, and they can still go to university.
"What? Really?"
"Brother Xiaobai, really? Where did you get the news?"
"Brother Xiaobai..." Before Jiang Xiaobai's words fell, the urban youths in the room exploded, and they all looked at Jiang Xiaobai excitedly and asked.
Don't look at making canned food now that it seems to make money, but if you let everyone choose, everyone definitely hopes to be admitted to college. Back in the city, waiting to be assigned after graduation.
Returning to the city may be the biggest dream of this generation of urban youth. Many urban youths are sent to the countryside and do not register when they get married, just to be able to return to the city one day.
Of course, there are also many urban youths who stay in the countryside forever.
