On June 25, 1978, in a remote mountain village in Shangdang City, Jin Province.
A boy in a washed yellow-and-white shirt was lying lazily on the haystack with a dog's tail in his mouth. The lower body is a pair of gray pants, and I can't tell if it's the original color or the color after washing.
There were also two huge patches at the knees, and a pair of cloth shoes were worn on the feet, but the shoes had already opened a large opening with difficulty.
Jiang Xiaobai is a 21st century undergraduate graduate who lives in the era of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up.
And the original owner of his body was born in an ordinary worker family in Longcheng, the capital of Jin Province, with the same name and surname as Jiang Xiaobai, he graduated from junior high school some time ago, and his second brother Jiang Zijian graduated from high school.
So his academic performance was not good, and he was sent by his father to the team of going to the mountains and going to the countryside by his father when he fought with a group of factory children all day long.
Then he gave himself the opportunity to come here, whether it was to borrow the corpse to return the soul, or to cross over.
Even sometimes, fused with the host's memory, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't tell whether he was Jiang Xiaobai in the 21st century or Jiang Xiaobai in the 70s.
Although Jiang Xiaobai occasionally drank too much in his previous life, he also lamented that he was born at the wrong time, if he was born in that golden age full of opportunities and changes, he would have been a rich generation and so on.
But he, who has long fully enjoyed the fruits of reform and opening up, never thought that he would really return to this era.
In the 70s, I was in charge of the post-80s generation who needed to be called uncle, is it appropriate for you to let me travel to this era? Jiang Xiaobai stared blankly at the sky.
Parents, lovers, brothers, friends, classmates...
All of a sudden, it disappeared without a trace, as if those experiences were like a dream. But Jiang Xiaobai prefers to believe that the current experience is a dream.
I still live in the 21st century, with loving parents, favorite lovers, inseparable brothers, traffic coming and going, and a city with colorful neon lights.
Even if you can take another breath of car exhaust!
"Goo, goo, goo," Jiang Xiaobai screamed from his stomach, it had been a whole month since he came to this era.
"Little White Brother, Little White Brother." In the distance, he heard someone shouting his name, and a young man ran up.
"What's the matter, I'm in such a hurry, how many times have I told you, you have to be calm, calm understand? If you don't calm down, the egg hurts. "
After Jiang Xiaobai saw the visitor, he said unhurriedly, the person who came over was called Wang Xiaojun, his parents and Jiang Xiaobai's parents both worked in a factory, he was the second in the family, and Jiang Xiaobai's father's job was also not his turn to take over, and he was sent to the mountains and countryside.
"Brother Xiaobai, it's not good, it's not good, Liu Feng and the people in the village are fighting, you can go and take a look." Wang Xiaojun said breathlessly, looking at Jiang Xiaobai's eyes full of urgency.
Jiang Xiaobai also got up from the grass pile with a grunt when he heard this, and Liu Feng was also a young man who came to the countryside with Jiang Xiaobai.
"Where? Take me there. Jiang Xiaobai said that, he dragged Wang Xiaojun towards the village, and asked as he ran: "Liu Feng, why did they clash with the people in the village?" "
In fact, Jiang Xiaobai was not surprised at all when he went to the mountains and went to the countryside to cut the queue to the countryside and clashed with the people in the village.
Most of the people who come to the countryside are people from the cities, with various classes, births, and backgrounds, and trying to integrate them into the countryside is not something that can be solved by shouting slogans.
"I heard that it was because the work recorded for our people in the know this month was wrong, and then Liu Feng went to the village accountant to theorize, and then they quarreled." Wang Xiaojun hurried to introduce the situation to Jiang Xiaobai.
This is a term before the implementation of the "household contract system".
At this time, the countryside implemented "big pot rice." "To put it simply, the land belongs to the village, and when it's time to work, everyone goes to work, and then the village cadres record the work points for those who go to work.
Depending on the output of the village, this work can be exchanged for money or grain, which is a unique product of this era.
Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Xiaojun came to the scene while talking, and more than a dozen educated youths were fighting with the villagers.
On the other hand, although there are many people in the village and they have great strength, they are all measured, and they are afraid that something will happen, so the two sides are fighting equally.
When Jiang Xiaobai arrived, the village secretary and the village chief were leading people to fight, but the people who knew about it didn't listen to the village secretary and the village chief at all.
"Xiaobai, you hurry up and persuade them, let them stop, if they continue to fight, something will happen," Huang Zhongfu, the village secretary, saw Jiang Xiaobai coming, and hurriedly spoke.
In the Jianhua Brigade, the largest number of educated youths are Jiang Xiaobai, the factory children who came from Longcheng, and Jiang Xiaobai was the eldest brother of the factory children in Longcheng before he crossed over, so among the educated youths in the Jianhua Brigade, Jiang Xiaobai is still a little useful to speak.
"The branch secretary, it's all like this, I guess it doesn't have any effect on what I say." Jiang Xiaobai said with a wry smile, in fact, according to Jiang Xiaobai's own ideas, it is now the end of June 1978, and after this time, he will be able to return to the city immediately, and when the reform and opening up comes, that is the time he is waiting for.
But now that Liu Feng and the others have made a fuss, then as a member of the educated youth, he will definitely not be able to sit crookedly, and he has to find a way to fight for some benefits for the educated youth.
"Xiaobai, let's discuss something, fighting will definitely not solve the problem, and I will criticize the accountant in a while."
Village secretary Huang Zhongfu looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said affirmatively, it turned out that he had a good impression of this white and pure young man, unlike other educated youths who caused trouble all day long, and now he found that this product is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Okay," Jiang Xiaobai looked at the village secretary Huang Zhongfu relieved, answered, turned around and snatched the white porcelain basin in the hand of an aunt who was watching the excitement, and then picked up a stone from the ground.
In the stunned eyes of the aunt, the white porcelain basin made a sound of "bell, bell", and the white paint on the white porcelain basin splashed.
"Don't fight, don't fight," Jiang Xiaobai shouted, the educated youths heard Jiang Xiaobai's voice and stopped, and the village secretary Huang Zhongfu also hurriedly led people to stop the villagers.
"Little white brother, they bully people..."
"Xiaobai, these people are too much, don't give us a record of work, don't say it, and scold people..."
"Little white brother ..." A group of educated youths spoke one after another, and said excitedly, a group of people who can grab three points without paying attention, not to mention that they feel wronged this time.
"Branch secretary, this group of educated youths is not an East ..." The village accountant Goudan also hurriedly opened his mouth to sue Huang Zhongfu, but before he finished speaking, the village secretary Huang Zhongfu glared fiercely and shut up, Huang Zhongfu turned his head to Jiang Xiaobai and said.
"Xiaobai, in this way, let's go to the team headquarters and talk about something."
"Okay, let's go to the team headquarters." Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and took the lead towards the team headquarters, and behind him, Wang Xiaojun, Liu Feng and other educated youths hurriedly followed.
"Disperse, don't look at it, what's so beautiful, I haven't seen you so active when you go to work, and then surround one person and deduct a job."
The village secretary looked at a group of villagers who were still watching the excitement and were about to go to the team site, and immediately scolded at the top of his voice.
As soon as they heard that they were going to deduct work points, the crowd that was watching the excitement suddenly dispersed, and several of the young people who had just fought also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to slip away, but they were arrested by Huang Zhongfu.
"Are you alright? Are there any injuries? Jiang Xiaobai asked as he walked while looking at the dozen or so educated youths behind him.
Although there were no tools in the fight just now, there were also a few noses and corners of the mouth that were bleeding.
"Phew," Liu Feng spit out the bloody spit in his mouth, wiped a handful of nosebleeds and said: "Little white brother, we're fine, it's just that the dog is too special to bully people." Many of us have more than 20 jobs this month, but this goods to us remember the most work is only 13, we went to him, he actually said that we go to work and do not work, can only be counted half a day of work, and said that a few of our female intellectuals to go to work is better not to go, to be able to give us these jobs is already good. "
Liu Feng said hatefully, and the faces of several female intellectuals in the team were also full of resentment.
"Brother Xiaobai, if the village secretary can't make up our work in a while, let's go to the commune in the afternoon to make trouble." Wang Xiaojun said on the side.
"Wait a while and see what Huang Zhongfu does." Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, although this year began to let the educated youth who went to the mountains and the countryside return to their hometowns.
But after the specific policy is implemented, if you can't say it, you will have to go back next year, and you may have to stay in this place for a year and a half, so you must not show weakness, otherwise you will definitely have a hard time in the future.
