A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 120: Encountering some educated youths at the educated youths’ site in the town

When Shen Jiaren walked to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative with the bottle in her hand, she found that the cooperative was crowded with people, even at the door. It was a problem to even walk to the door, let alone get in.

Shen Jiaren looked at the situation and realized that she would not be able to see Sister Su Hongmei now, so she turned around and walked towards the state-owned restaurant with the bottle, thinking that she could go to the state-owned restaurant to check out today's special dishes. Otherwise, she could just have lunch at the state-owned restaurant. After all, she had been eating her own meals every day in the past few days, whether she cooked the meals herself or heated them up herself. Shen Jiaren was really tired of it and wanted to go to the state-owned restaurant to feel the everyday life of this era.

Who would have thought that before Shen Jiaren reached the door of the state-owned restaurant and just passed the supply and marketing cooperative, she ran into several people from the educated youth point.

To be honest, before the collision, Shen Jiaren was still wondering what the special dishes of the state-owned restaurant would be today. After all, the special dishes in the previous few times were all meat specialties. Not only were they so delicious that you could swallow your tongue, but they were also affordable. Sometimes, Shen Jiaren packed up the leftovers and could eat them for several meals.

Shen Jiaren was just drooling at the thought when she was stopped by Xu Hongxia, a youth sent to the educated youth camp opposite.

"Shen Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing!"

Shen Jiaren heard someone calling Shen Zhiqing, and was curious whether it was her. She looked up and found that opposite her were several colleagues from the Zhiqing point, namely, Xu Hongxia, Song Xiangxue, Liu Mei, and Wang Aiguo, as well as two male Zhiqing. Shen Jiaren knew that they were Zhiqing from the Zhiqing point, but she didn't know their names.

To be honest, although Shen Jiaren had thought about meeting educated youth from the educated youth center in the town, she had never expected to meet these people.

After all, coming to the town means spending money. Except for Wang Aiguo, I have rarely seen the other people come to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Especially Xu Hongxia, whom Shen Jiaren thought was a good person before, but ever since she told her gossip that time, Shen Jiaren simply kept her distance from her.

Who would have thought that I would meet him just by going out for a walk.

When Xu Hongxia saw that Shen Jiaren's eyes were fixed on her, she waved her hand and walked towards Shen Jiaren.

When the others saw Xu Hongxia moving towards Shen Jiaren, they also followed her.

Shen Jiaren looked at a group of people walking towards her, smiled bitterly in her heart, and walked towards them.

"Xu Zhiqing, Song Zhiqing, Liu Zhiqing, Wang Zhiqing, hello. Are you coming to the town today as well?" Shen Jiaren nodded and smiled at each of them as she spoke.

When Xu Hongxia heard Shen Jiaren asking her how she was, she quickly replied, "Yes, we came to the town today to see if the Xinhua Bookstore in town still has materials for this teacher exam. After all, this material is hard to come by now, so we all wanted to try our luck and see if we can buy any."

"Oh, oh, oh, then did you go to Xinhua Bookstore to look? Was there any?" Shen Jiaren replied.

Xu Hongxia replied, "Well, everything is gone. The people at Xinhua Bookstore said that they were all sold out a long time ago. If you want more, you have to wait for the next batch of materials to come back. But Mashan is about to take the exam, and no one can be sure when the materials will be back."

Shen Jiaren asked, "Oh, oh, oh, what are you doing?"

Xu Hongxia replied, "We are ready to go back. We heard at the Xinhua Bookstore that the Supply and Marketing Cooperative has also brought back a batch of new things, so we are ready to go and see what they have. If nothing else, we will go back."

"Oh, I came from the supply and marketing cooperative. There are people gathered at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative. If you also want to rush and buy things, you should go there quickly."

Xu Hongxia was just about to ask why there were so many people and leave quickly when she felt Song Xiangxue quietly pulling her arm.

Why did he know it was Song Xiangxue? Because Song Xiangxue was on his left, and he felt the clothes on his left arm being gently pulled.

Before Xu Hongxia could ask Song Xiangxue if there was anything wrong, she heard Song Xiangxue say to Shen Jiaren,

"Shen Zhiqing, I haven't seen you in the village recently. What have you been busy with?"

When Xu Hongxia and the other educated youth heard Song Xiangxue ask this, they were a little curious about why Song Xiangxue asked Shen Jiaren this question. Especially Xu Hongxia's action was more direct. She turned her head and looked at Song Xiangxue, wanting to say something to her.

But before she could finish her words, she saw Song Xiangxue put her hand on Xu Hongxia's arm, and Xu Hongxia stopped talking abruptly.

Shen Jiaren looked at the different facial expressions and movements of the people opposite her, and she couldn't help but wonder. Didn't the captain say in the hospital that he would use the excuse of strengthening anti-theft awareness to select several of his people for training? Didn't the captain say so in the team? The key point is that Liu Hui didn't say anything when he came over. What happened in the meantime? Didn't she know?

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren asked, "Why, Song Zhiqing, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Seeing that Shen Jiaren did not directly answer her question, but asked herself instead, Song Xiangxue could not help but answer, "It's okay. Isn't this just caring about you? After all, we are all young people who went to the countryside together to build a new countryside. It's basic to care about each other and love each other."

When Shen Jiaren heard this, she burst out laughing. It was really like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, with no good intentions.

Shen Jiaren directly retorted, "You should just take care of yourself and stop interfering with other things. After all, something unspeakable happened to a thermometer at that time. How can anyone believe that she cares about others with good intentions?"

When Song Xiangxue heard Shen Jiaren talking about the thermometer, she slapped herself in the face and replied directly, "I returned the thermometer to you a long time ago, and I told you at the time that I was busy with the autumn harvest and forgot to return it to you.

Why are you still using this incident to accuse others?"

Shen Jiaren replied, "I didn't say anything. I just said that something unspeakable happened. You are just thinking too much."

When Song Xiangxue saw Shen Jiaren's calm and composed look and the hurtful words she said, she became so angry that her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

When Liu Mei saw this, she knew she couldn't just stand there and watch the show anymore, so she quickly stood up and said to Shen Jiaren, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. We are all here to do good for others, so don't misinterpret our good intentions and cause a conflict."

Seeing that Liu Mei gave her a way out, Shen Jiaren stopped talking.

Seeing that Shen Jiaren didn't say anything, Liu Mei knew that Shen Jiaren had taken her words to heart, so she continued, "Shen Zhiqing, everyone is concerned about you. After all, we haven't seen you at work for a long time. We are worried about you, so we asked a few more questions. Don't mind."

Shen Jiaren curled her lips and said nothing, ready to see what Liu Mei would say next.

Seeing that Shen Jiaren didn't respond to her question, Liu Mei changed the subject, "Shen Zhiqing, do you know that a lot of things happened in our Zhiqing Point during the few days when you were not working? Especially when things happened, we didn't see you around to watch. Everyone must be worried about you, right? After all, you were always there when something happened in the Zhiqing Point."

When Shen Jiaren heard this, she didn't know what Liu Mei meant. Was it because she disliked her gossiping and that she was always there every time something happened at the educated youth point, or was it because she wanted to ask something.

Liu Mei saw Shen Jiaren holding two glass bottles in her hands, so she went up to her and put her hand on Shen Jiaren's arm. While doing so, she gave Xu Hongxia a look.

At first, Xu Hongxia didn't understand what Liu Mei meant, but after seeing Liu Mei's actions, she quickly put her arm around Shen Jiaren's other arm.

Seeing this, Liu Mei pulled Shen Jiaren around a corner and then walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative with Shen Jiaren on her arm.

Wang Aiguo and the other two male educated youths saw that the female educated youths had so many things to do and now they finally calmed down, so they quickly said to the female educated youths, "You guys go ahead and do your work. We'll meet at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative in two hours. We're going to do something else now."

After saying this, without waiting for the female educated youth to reply, the three men turned around and walked in the direction the female educated youth was facing.

After Xu Hongxia and Song Xiangxue saw the male educated youth like this, they immediately pulled their faces down and said nothing more. On the contrary, Liu Mei was still the same as before, pulling Shen Jiaren to say something.

After Liu Mei saw the young educated man leave, she stuck even closer to Shen Jiaren and directly pulled Shen Jiaren to the side of the road. After standing on the side of the road, she said to Shen Jiaren, "Aren't you curious about what happened at the young educated man's point?"

Shen Jiaren replied, "Not curious at all."

Liu Mei looked Shen Jiaren up and down, then asked, "Are you really not curious?"

Shen Jiaren then replied, "I'm really not curious at all."

Although Liu Mei really wanted to ask why she wasn't curious, she thought about the way Song Xiangxue asked the question just now. She probably wanted to trick Shen Jiaren into saying something. However, judging from her dealings with Shen Jiaren, she knew she was not an easy person to deal with. In that case, it would be better to just sell it directly. Who knows, it might have unexpected results.

He said directly to Shen Jiaren, "Even if you are not curious, I still want to tell you. After all, you are also an educated youth. Although you no longer live in the educated youth camp, you have the right to know what happens in the educated youth camp. After all, we prosper together and suffer together."

When Shen Jiaren heard this, she was about to say something else when she heard Liu Mei continue, "It's nothing, it's just the recent teacher exam, you know?"

"I know. Didn't the team leader tell us at the meeting before that we need to select a teacher for the literacy class?"

"Not only that, this teacher will most likely be transferred to teach in a primary school in the future. He won't have to go to work on a daily basis. He will only have to help out during the autumn harvest and spring ploughing season."

"Oh, but does it have anything to do with me?"

"Yes, didn't we just tell you that we came to town to buy information?"

"and then?"

"Then, this time the teacher selection has become an open selection, with a unified examination in the town. As for the classroom location, it will be arranged according to the town's arrangements at that time."

"Isn't this great? Everyone gets a chance."

"Yes, everyone has a chance, but gossip also comes."

"What kind of gossip is this? Didn't you say there was a unified exam in town? What kind of gossip is this?"

"The gossip is about Chen Jiaojiao and Liu Weijun."

Shen Jiaren asked in surprise, "What? What does this have to do with Chen Jiaojiao and Liu Weijun?"

"Chen Jiaojiao, I don't know where she got the news from, but was tricked by Aunt Zhou's youngest son Zhou Jinbao, who said he could help her through this backdoor. Chen Jiaojiao took out fifty yuan and gave it to Aunt Zhou's youngest son, asking him to help him use his connections. But who knew that Zhou Jinbao disappeared recently. Chen Jiaojiao was very anxious and went to Aunt Zhou's door, but Aunt Zhou denied it. Instead, she said that her son was missing and couldn't go home because of Chen Jiaojiao's little bitch.

Anyway, the words were very unpleasant. Aunt Zhou's general meaning was that Chen Jiaojiao liked her youngest son, and was affectionate and affectionate to him, and the quarrel was very chaotic. There were many people watching, and Chen Jiaojiao did not win the quarrel and returned home defeated. Her reputation was affected, and there were many rumors, which also concerned Chen Jiaojiao's innocence.

In addition, Chen Jiaojiao went directly to the team leader Liu Dashan and accused Zhou Jinbao of cheating people and being a capitalist-roader, etc., wanting to get her money back. She also cried in the team leader Liu Dashan's house, saying that the money was all her property and she was cheated out of it. She was unwilling to accept it and asked the team leader to give an explanation. It was a very ugly scene, so Captain Zhao Yuanchao and Team Leader Liu Dashan were having a headache about this matter and were still investigating what exactly this matter was.

Of course, the main thing now is to find Zhou Jinbao first."

When Shen Jiaren heard this, she opened her mouth in surprise.

Liu Mei looked at Shen Jiaren's surprised expression, and then said to Shen Jiaren, "Liu Weijun's case is simple. Liu Weijun somehow knew that the captain's accountant Zhou had a relative in the town's education bureau, who might have some power and might be in charge of this admissions exam. He then pursued Zhou Juan, the girl from Accountant Zhou's family, relentlessly. The girl was attracted to her, but Zhou Qiang, the son of Accountant Zhou, didn't want to, so he beat Liu Weijun up. Then Accountant Zhou was forced to come back from the town's study class to deal with this matter. Now the situation is that after Liu Weijun was beaten, he said he was injured and dizzy, so he lay on the bed and said he would never give up.

Zhou Juan was moved by Liu Weijun's love and went on a hunger strike at home, saying that she would not marry anyone but Liu Weijun. As for Zhou Qiang, he was locked up at home by Accountant Zhou, who said that he was asked to reflect on his behavior.

Shen Jiaren was even more surprised when she heard this. This was just an ordinary entrance examination, but there was so much fuss. What was the purpose?

When Shen Jiaren thought about this, she suddenly felt that her thinking was wrong. How could it be an ordinary entrance examination? In this era, this could be considered a major change in her life. Especially this position, not only could she escape from farm work, but she could also get work points and benefits. In this era, this was already a very good position with public income.
