Chapter 1386 1388 [My heart is full of business]

   After a while, the students almost arrived.

   In other words, you can come whenever you want. I don't want to come, I won't come at all.

  After everyone arrives, the activity officially begins.

  Yang Huajian personally presided over the stage, "Students and friends, today we hold this educated youth gathering to commemorate our educated youth career. Recall the past and look forward to the future.

   For this reason, I also specially invited Secretary Yang of the Xiaoqinghe Revolutionary Committee, who we jumped into the queue, to welcome everyone to applaud! "

  Amid the warm applause, Secretary Yang Youping waited on the stage and said with a smile, "Children, I miss you so much. You have been in the queue in Xiaoqinghe for more than two years. The folks are really reluctant to leave you.

  I came this time, and the folks asked me to take care of you. I won't say anything else, I hope you will visit Xiaoqinghe more often in the future. Don't go back to Forty-Nine City, forget about the folks~"

  When the students heard it, they all said in unison, "No~"

"Secretary Yang, don't worry, we won't. Xiaoqinghe is our second hometown. No matter where we go or what we do, we will never forget our roots." ?”

   Everyone responded in unison.

  Yang Youping smiled and nodded.

   But he knew that what Yang Huajian and other cadres' children said was basically empty talk.

  It has been two years since they returned to the city in 1975, and Xiang Nan, Chunming, and Cai Xiaoli are still thinking about the folks, helping them sell eggs and making more money.

  Others, when they returned to the city, they couldn't even find the letter.

  …

  After the speech, the students began to have a party.

   There were singing, dancing, reciting... It was lively.

   "Hey, Jianjun, our great poet, today is such a lively occasion, why don't you write a poem to commemorate it?" Yang Huajian invited with a smile.

  When the students heard this, they all applauded.

   "Hey, no, no, I won't make a fool of myself." Xiang Nan waved his hands modestly.

   "Hey, don't say that, students here, who don't know that you are talented. Don't be humble, come on, come on." Yang Huajian laughed.

  Han Chunming, Cai Xiaoli, Mao Tutu...a large group of students applauded to express their welcome.

   "Come on, don't disappoint the students." Yang Huajian smiled.

  Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay then. I'm really happy to meet you again after a long absence today. I improvised a song and hope you all like it."

   Hearing what he said, everyone became even more excited.

   "Come one~ come one~" everyone shouted together.

  Xiang Nan coughed lightly, then sang a cappella,

   "Young friends

  Come meet today

   swing the boat

  The warm wind blows gently

  …

  Who does the wonderful springtime belong to?

   belongs to me belongs to you

  Belongs to our new generation in the seventies

  …

   We will meet again in another twenty years

   Great motherland

   how beautiful it should be

  …

  Ah dear friends

  May we raise our glasses proudly

  Put your chest out, smile and raise your eyebrows"

   Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.

  Although Xiang Nan only sang a cappella without musical accompaniment, his voice was clear, the melody was beautiful, the rhythm was cheerful, and the lyrics were touching. It was still a rare and good song, which shocked all the students.

  Actually, Xiang Nan became a great writer and poet, and his classmates couldn't believe it.

  After all, Cheng Jianjun's performance was not too outstanding when he was in school and jumping in the queue. Otherwise, it would not be possible to fail the high school entrance examination.

   But now, seeing Xiang Nan compose lyrics and compose music impromptu, everyone is really admiring that Xiang Nan can sing such a good song.

  So when he finished singing, there was warm applause from the audience.

  Cai Xiaoli looked at him with admiration, thinking that Xiang Nan is really great.

  …

  Then, the reunion ended successfully amidst the singing.

  But after the class reunion ended, the main drama officially began.

  Yang Huajian, Mao Tutu and others worked hard to organize class reunions, not just to reconnect with classmates.

  To be honest, for the children of cadres like them, no matter how close their classmates and friends are, they are not as touching as their benefits.

   Just like Chen Can, Hao Shuwen, and Lin Dingding in the movie "Youth", they are full of doctrine and business in their hearts. The same comrades are also divided into ranks and ranks. Who can bully, who should curry favor, my heart is like a bright mirror.

  The reason why they want to hold a classmate reunion is to build a relationship with Xiang Nan.

  Xiang Nan is now an example set by the government, with a resounding golden signboard, containing powerful energy.

   It is no exaggeration to say that they are like Lei Feng, Shi Chuanxiang, Wang Jinxi, Ouyang Hai, etc. As long as he doesn't make principled mistakes, he can enjoy this bonus for the rest of his life.

   And to engage in politics is to make friends more and enemies less.

   With such an outstanding person as Xiang Nan, they are naturally willing to make friends.

   Today's class reunion is just an introduction, so that they can get back in touch with Xiang Nan.

   After all, before this, they hadn't moved around for two years.

  If you rashly come to the door to solicit connections, everyone will understand what is being planned. It's better to borrow the banner of the classmate association and resume walking, which is fair and logical.

   Therefore, after the gathering, Yang Huajian, Mao Tutu and other cadres' children came to see Xiang Nan from time to time to communicate with each other and deepen their friendship.

  Xiang Nan had a keen insight into their thoughts, and understood what they were planning.

  However, he did not refuse.

  The children of cadres like Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu also have their uses.

   These people are well-connected, quick-witted, and courageous. In the 1980s, I dared to go to the south to dump cars, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

  When ordinary people are still running around for jobs that cost tens of dollars a month, their profit from dumping a car has already reached hundreds of thousands.

   It was with the help of Yang Huajian that Han Chunming made his first pot of gold. Naturally, Xiang Nan would not push the God of Wealth out of the house, anyway, they each get what they need, and neither of them is good.

  …

   Half a month later, "Our Fields" written by Xiang Nan was published by "People's Literature".

   After it was launched, it caused a sensation immediately.

  In the late 1970s, [Scar Literature Craze] emerged in the mainland, mainly describing the tragic experiences of educated youths, intellectuals, persecuted officials and ordinary people in urban and rural areas in that unbearable era.

  However, "Our Fields" is contrary to the themes of sadness, pain, and anger in similar novels, but affirms the contributions of educated youths and analyzes their mental journeys.

   Therefore, it has more literary value and ideological significance than scar literature that blindly vents pain, sorrow, and anger.

  In addition to 1977, although the movement ended, the aftermath has not subsided, and conservative thinking still has the upper hand. Therefore, Xiang Nan's novel caters to their ideas, and is therefore greatly praised.

  "People's Daily", "Youth Daily", "Worker's Daily" and more than a dozen domestic newspapers and periodicals reprinted this article one after another, and launched a big discussion on the work "Our Fields".

   This upsurge has lasted for more than a year. It wasn't until December 1978, when the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee was held, that the debate gradually subsided.

  Of course, this is all for later.
