Back to 70s: To build a career, don’t be a grudge but a group favorite

Along the way, Han Qiyue pedaled his bicycle very fast.

It's getting late, don't hurry up, your family will be worried when it gets dark.

Despite his fast speed, when he was approaching the village, the shadow of the night also enveloped the village.

July put the bicycle away at a corner a few hundred meters away from the village.

He took out the big backpack and carried it on his back. There were a lot of things prepared for July.

Qi Qi walked toward the village with a heavy backpack on her back.

Before reaching the village entrance, I saw my eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother waiting anxiously at the entrance of the village from a distance.

They also saw Qi Qi and rushed to greet him.

"Xiao Qi, why did you come back?"

While Han Xiangyang was talking, he naturally took off the backpack from Qiyue's body.

"Oh, what did you bring? It's so heavy?" Han Xiangyang was not paying attention for a moment, and the backpack almost slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

"They are all useful at home." Qi Qiyue said with a smile and helped put the backpack on Han Xiangyang's back.

"Xiao Qi, it's already dark, are you scared?" Han Siyang asked with concern.

"Next time, don't go to the city alone. Let Xiaoliu accompany you." Han Sanyang also said.

Several brothers murmured words of concern, Qi Qi felt warm in her heart and responded with a smile.

Of course, it's just a matter of response.

If you want to go to the city, you have to go by yourself.

How can I secretly go to the black market with Sixth Brother following me?

The brothers and sisters soon arrived at home.

Han Xiangyang took the heavy backpack off his shoulders and rubbed his shoulders.

He looked at Qi Qi with a distressed expression. He had just walked a few steps and his shoulder hurt. Qi Qi walked all the way and didn't know if his shoulder was broken.

Qi Qi was a little uncomfortable being looked at by her elder brother.

She is guilty.

These things are indeed heavy, but she puts them in space.

"Brother, I have small pads on my shoulders. Besides, I am strong."

Everyone in the family knows that Qi Qi is very strong, but she is also a delicate girl!

In order to wait for July, the meal at home was late.

When Qi Qi came back, Grandma Han invited everyone to dinner.

July took out a pack of white-flour steamed buns from his backpack.

"Nai, I brought some steamed buns back from the county town. Let's take half of them each."

When Grandma Han saw Qi Qi taking out a pack of steamed buns from her backpack, she hurriedly said, "The steamed buns cost a ticket, how did you buy them?"

When she went out in July, Grandma Han gave her [-] taels of food stamps and asked her to buy her own food in the county town.

"Nai, I helped someone in the county today, and someone else gave me a thank you gift."

The reason is that I had already thought of it in July.

Today, she brought back a lot of things, but it’s okay if they don’t have their provenance.

Grandma Han was worried that her granddaughter would suffer a loss outside, so she asked, "Who did you help by giving you so many steamed buns?"

In these days and months, no one has any extra food.

Who would be willing to take out this old steamed bun, or a white-flour steamed bun?

"Today I met an old lady who fainted on the ground in the county town. I know some medical skills and came back. Her son was rich and gave me a lot of money and tickets."

"Not only the steamed buns, but also other things are still in the basket."

"We are helping people to accumulate virtue, so why do we need to ask for gifts of thanks from others!"

Grandma Han is a kind old lady who mumbles a lot.

"Mistress, you don't understand this. I am a rich person, and I am worried that we poor people will get attached to me through the grace of saving my life. I will give him things and money at once to end this kindness." Han Siyang explained to Grandma Han.

When Grandma Han heard what her grandson said, she felt it made sense.

"Nai, that's it. People are afraid that I will repay the favor, but if I don't accept it, they will be worried." Qi Qiyue hurriedly followed Han Siyang's words.

The rest of the family had half a steamed bun each, and Grandma Han was alone.

Grandma Han wanted to save the steamed buns for Qi Qi, but Qi Qi refused.

"Nai, I had a full meal at the state-owned restaurant at noon today. You can eat the steamed buns."

After dinner, Xia Xiuhe and her sister-in-law went to wash the dishes, while Qi Qi took out everything in the basket.

First there was a pile of books, and Grandma Han asked: "Yue, do you still want to study? But you have graduated from high school, and our family can't get a place in the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University!"

In their village, it takes three to five years to get a place at the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University. People like them simply can't get it.

July lowered her voice and said, "Grandma, either I want to go to the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' University, or I heard from people in the city that I might have to start taking exams to go to university."

Grandma Han was surprised. What does it mean to take the exam to go to college?

"Don't you need a recommendation to go to college in the future?" Grandma Han asked in disbelief.

July nodded firmly.

"From now on, whoever gets good grades will go to college."

Grandma Han is happy.

"Yue, if you want to go to college, study hard. With so many people in our family, we can afford one for you!"

"Grandma, eldest brother and the others also have good academic performance. If we study together, maybe we can all go to college."

This time, Grandma Han hesitated.

How can we afford to have so many children at home?

"Grandma, I heard that not only is there no money to go to college, but there is also a subsidy. The maximum is 18 yuan a month."

Grandma Han was so surprised that the soles of the shoes she was holding in her hands fell off.

18 yuan is almost as much as a month’s salary of a junior worker.

If there are subsidies, there is nothing wrong with all the children going to school.

"Then you should review carefully."

Grandma Han made the final decision.

July was relieved.

My brothers don’t know if they want to go to school.

My eldest brother is 22 this year.

The 22-year-old young people in the village got married early and have two children.

Qi Qiyue didn't hesitate and continued to present treasures to Grandma Han.

"Milk, you see, there are other good things too. Brown sugar, white flour, white rice, cornmeal. There is also pork, a full ten kilograms with suet. The oil that will be refined later will be enough for our family to eat for a long time..."

I went to the city for the first time today. I didn't dare to bring anything else back in July, I only brought some food.

The family is short of nutrients, and the autumn harvest is about to begin, so they need to make up for it in advance.

Grandma Han was so stunned that she couldn't speak when she saw her granddaughter taking out so many things.

This kid went to the city to rob?

"These are all given to you?"

"Nai, I was given 50 yuan and a bunch of tickets!" Qi Qiu quickly explained: "The tickets are time-based and are about to expire, so I might as well buy them all and take them home."

Grandma Han was shocked when she heard that she was given 50 yuan.

"Let your mother stir-fry these meats into mincemeat. Let's eat them slowly. We'll also refine the lard tonight. There will be no shortage of oil and water for this autumn harvest. Let's put the grain aside and let's eat it slowly."

Grandma Han was originally worried about the autumn harvest, but now she is feeling better.

A dozen kilograms of meat and oil, dozens of kilograms of grain, are enough.

As for spending money in July, Grandma Han didn’t ask much.

I earned the money myself in July and did not spend it carelessly.

"Grandma, I brought mushrooms and herbs today and bought them for more than 50 yuan. They gave me 39 yuan, and I have [-] yuan left. I will keep them all for you."

Grandma Han refused to take it: "This is all your own, keep it yourself."

"Nai, you keep all the money at home. Besides, I went to the city today and found a way to make money."

Grandma Han waved her hands when she heard Qi Qi said she had found a way to make money.

"We can't do anything illegal."

"Nai, no way. I met a person from the police station today and he said that if we have any mountain goods or something, just send them over and he will take them."

Han Siyang asked in confusion: "Xiao Qi, how come you still know the people from the police station? Are you not a liar?"

"Fourth brother, I'm not stupid, how can I still not distinguish between a liar and a policeman?"

Han Siyang touched his nose and stopped talking.
