In his past life memories, Liu Yan once heard his parents occasionally talk about what happened in China in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

As for the movement to go to the mountains and countryside, I also learned about the situation at that time and what happened later from the Internet, novels, movies and TV series...

The movement of going to the mountains and countryside is indeed progressive for every young student.

At least I have experienced the difference between urban and rural areas, realized the difference between physical labor and mental labor, and seen the long and long way to go to fully realize a well-off society and the Chinese Dream.

When they first set foot in the vast world of rural areas, every educated young man cherishes lofty ideals and is filled with enthusiasm and hopes to achieve great results.

I swear from my heart and resolve in practical actions that I will use my youth and blood to completely change the current situation of rural backwardness.

Moreover, everyone has really worked hard for this.

However, when they repeat the simple labor that farmers have repeated for generations, year after year, while learning the hard-working spirit and simple and unpretentious character of the poor and lower-middle peasants.

I also discovered the ignorance and low quality caused by the huge differences and poverty in knowledge and culture...

While fighting against the sky, the earth, and people, I wandered in hardship, loneliness, anxiety, and troubles day after day.

They gradually realized that the price they had to pay would be so heavy.

It takes one generation or even several generations to make a lifetime of struggle and sacrifice with their faces turned to the earth and their backs to the sky...

Until one day, they suddenly discovered that the only time they could graduate was to go to the mountains and countryside until the end of their lives.

The enthusiasm and passion that initially burst out from the depths of my heart were cooled to freezing point overnight after I was awakened.

Therefore, not only the original owner, but also every educated youth who has been sent to the mountains and countryside for two years are eager to return to the city through various channels, such as recruiting workers, joining the army, working at the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University, etc.

In this way, family background, political review of production teams and communes, labor performance, etc. have become insurmountable thresholds for educated youth to return to the city.

Origin, composition, this sword of Damocles that has been hung above the head for more than ten years will show its ferocious face at every critical moment in the original owner's life.

Due to his parents, the original owner had suffered a lot over the years.

In the land of China, it has become an insurmountable gap and an iron and copper wall for the children of all such families in their lives.

After graduating from middle school, the original owner, like all middle school graduates, canceled his urban household registration, bid farewell to the city where he grew up, sang praises, and came to Yuanping Village to join the queue.

What the original owner never expected was that even in this poor and backward mountain wilderness, it was by no means a paradise.

He once thought that after going to the mountains and countryside and receiving re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants for two years, he could legitimately join the army and attend the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University like all ordinary people, or at least return to the city through recruitment.

However, this naive idea was shattered by ruthless reality time and time again.

The father's debt must be paid by the son, the nine clans are implicated, I am a hero and my son is a hero, I am a reactionary and my son is a bastard, these are the feudal traditional shackles that have existed for thousands of years.

Unexpectedly, in the 1960s and 1970s of the 20th century, it was carried forward to the fullest...

Last year, it was also at this time that another group of educated youth who came back to the city to recruit workers left.

The original owner and Zhou Haiyang once again missed the opportunity to return to the city because of their family background and failure to pass the political examination.

A month later, from nowhere, Zhou Haiyang found out such a piece of tidbits:

Among the policies for educated youth to go to the mountains and countryside, there is an unspoken rule that has not been noticed and utilized by the majority of educated youth in the past, but has become quietly popular this year.

For educated young people who have lost the ability to work due to disability or serious illness, they can apply to return to the city for rest and treatment through normal procedures.

It is said that many educated youths across the country have successfully transferred their household registration back to their original household registration for this reason.

For educated youths with family background problems, this is like seeing a glimmer of hope in despair...

After careful research, the original owner and Zhou Haiyang discovered a problem:

First, you need to obtain a certificate from a county-level hospital.

It was then reviewed and approved at all levels by production team leaders, commune leaders, and county educated youth offices.

In the end, it still needs to be approved by the Educated Youth Office in the place where the original registered permanent residence is.

Therefore, the probability of success for two people to apply for medical treatment and return to the city at the same time is almost zero!

The original owner gritted his teeth and said to Zhou Haiyang: "You should leave first! When Lin Nan joined the army and left the year before last, you promised her to leave the next year. This has been delayed for a year."

After Zhou Haiyang thought for a long time, he said to the original owner: "You should leave first! Your sister is still fostered in someone else's home, and she has no relatives around her...

After you leave, I will try again after a while. I am afraid this is the only way for us to return to the city..."

………

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, the original owner decided to eliminate the idea of ​​trauma and self-mutilation: "No matter how hard it is, you must never do something stupid. If you really become disabled, the rest of your life will be completely ruined."

After thinking about it, the only option was to get seriously ill!

However, this disease is so serious that everyone thinks it is really incapable of working. This is a very difficult thing for a young man in his early twenties who is young and strong.

The original owner gritted his teeth: "Now that I have made up my mind, I have to give it a try...

However, the first difficulty in handling medical withdrawal is to obtain a medical certificate from the county hospital..."

Zhou Haiyang reminded: "Necessary procedures must be completed before issuing a certificate. You cannot let the hospital issue a medical certificate without anything. These days, no one dares to take on this responsibility."

The original owner worried: "I'm afraid that if everything is prepared and the county hospital cannot be opened due to medical conditions, all the preliminary work will be in vain."

Zhou Haiyang comforted him and said: "At this point, we can only take one step at a time. If we encounter any problems at that time, we will find a solution to the educated youths who live in the county..."

…

At that time, it was relatively easy for educated youth to return to the city, and the main prevalent diseases were: hepatitis, nephritis, and tuberculosis.

At that time, there was a lack of nutrition, and there were many hepatitis patients, hepatitis virus carriers, major yang, and minor yang among the population.

Therefore, hepatitis became the first choice of the original owner.

He first went to the commune hospital for a liver examination.

He covered his liver area with his hand and frowned: "Doctor, my liver hurts. It hurts so much."

"How long has it been hurting?" the doctor asked with concern.

"It's been hurting for a long time..."

"Are you an educated youth from the Genpei Production Team?!" the doctor asked while examining him.

"Yes, how do you know?" When the original owner heard the doctor ask this question, his heart beat several beats faster.

"Don't be nervous, relax! Most of the local faces in Tianyuan Commune are familiar, and the educated youth from the city will know them at a glance. How many years have you been in Yuanping?"

"Four, four years."

"How is it? Are you still getting used to life?" the doctor then asked.

"Uh... I just don't have enough to eat. I feel weak and have no energy. Especially because my stomach is short of oil and water. I'm so hungry at night that I can't sleep."

"It means you can still eat. It's so hard to go down the mountain, but you still can't satisfy your hunger?"

"That's right! After the examination, I will go to the restaurant in the town and ask for a braised pork to satisfy my craving..."

When the doctor heard this, he smiled slightly, listened to the original owner's talk, and repeatedly touched his liver area. But no matter how he touched it, no swelling was found.

Moreover, judging from the face, eyes, skin, tongue coating, etc., there are no symptoms of hepatitis at all.

"Comrade, you are in good health and like to eat fat meat. Your liver is fine at all. Don't worry!" the doctor said to him with a smile.

"Don't worry? Ah!" The original owner then realized that he had spoken too much just now and had exposed his secret! He was trapped by the doctor's words...

He glanced at the doctor awkwardly and thought, it seems that hepatitis has to be treated.

Next, the original owner thought of tuberculosis.

In order to pretend to be tuberculosis, he didn't brush his teeth, wash his face, take a shower, or change clothes for a week, making his whole body unkempt and dirty and smelly...

However, when I look in the mirror and feel sorry for myself, I don't look like a tuberculosis ghost, and there is a strong bookishness in my bones.

As a result, the educated youths who knew Qingdian thought he was insane, and some female educated youths hid away when they saw him...

I don’t know where Zhou Haiyang got the method, so he found a lot of tin foil from cigarette shells and stuck it on the chest and back of the original owner.

Then, he accompanied the original owner to the commune hospital for a X-ray examination.

Unexpectedly, the original owner stood in front of the X-ray machine for less than half a minute and was immediately called down by a young doctor.

He pointed at the heart of the original owner and said sternly: "You! There is a problem here..."

The doctor's look and tone told the original owner very clearly: it was not tuberculosis in his chest, but something in his heart!

When the original owner saw this, he could only return in anger with a red face and swollen muscles.
Chapter completed!
