With Zhou Zekai's statement, Village Chief Yang was relieved to arrange the quota for other educated youth. After all, Zhou Zekai was his future son-in-law. Whether he said he was biased or anything, in short, after knowing that Zhou Zekai did not plan to go home, Village Chief Yang notified all educated youth.

The next day, all the educated youth gathered together. There were about 30 educated youth assigned to Pinghua Village this time, and more than a dozen girls, and the rest were boys. They were all a little surprised at the village chief's sudden call for them to come.

However, it was almost the Chinese New Year, so it was normal for the village chief to say something, so they all came over to listen.

Village Chief Yang stood on the highest platform, looking at these young and lively lives, and he knew that there were very few places to return to the city every year, and there might be new educated youth in their village to the countryside next year. In this case, the competition in the future will only be more intense, but he has no choice. This is the policy. If you want to return to the city, you must make efforts! This time he told Zhou Zekai first that it was because Zhou Zekai was the hardest-working person in the countryside this time. Since he did not plan to go back, then the opportunity was given to others!

That's right, in order to let these educated youth know how to live in this rural area, he fairly arranged the quota for returning to the city as the educated youth with the highest work scores. Among these educated youth, it was obvious that the one with the highest work scores was Zhou Zekai.

"Comrades! As the end of the year approaches, I believe that everyone has been in the village for half a year and can live hard in the village! Today I call everyone here, one is to wish everyone a happy New Year, and the other is that a quota for returning to the city next year has been sent to our village. Today, I want to notify everyone that the only way to get the quota!"

The educated youth below didn’t take the village chief seriously. After all, the educated youths were alone outside. During the Chinese New Year, it was actually the most sad time.

But when they heard Village Chief Yang's words, everyone immediately became passionate and looked at Village Chief Yang! Even if it was a place to return to the city, they hoped that this luck would come to their heads! Because each of them hoped that they could go home!

"I have been with you for a long time in the past six months, so the list of returnees at the beginning of next year will give you the one with the highest labour scores! I believe that everyone knows about the labour scores. The one who works hardest may be the luckiest one!"

After Village Chief Yang finished speaking, almost all the educated youth looked at Zhou Zekai because they knew that among the people here, Zhou Zekai had the highest work scores. From the beginning to the present, he has been working hard to complete the tasks assigned by the villagers. The cumulative work scores are more than twice that of ordinary educated youth...

However, these educated youth had some thoughts in their minds, thinking that Village Chief Yang must have made such a decision because he saw that Zhou Zekai was his son-in-law, which was not fair at all. Several people looked at each other and wanted to speak, but they heard Village Chief Yang speak again.

"I believe everyone knows that since Comrade Zhou Zekai came to the village, he has been working very hard to cooperate with the work in our village! The work score is the highest! Regarding the return to the city, I have also consulted Comrade Zhou Zekai. He hopes to stay in the countryside to build the development of our Pinghua Village! Therefore, this return to the city has been given up, please applaud him!!!"

Village Chief Yang said, he was really proud and felt that Zhou Zekai had such an idea, which was different from other educated youth. For Zhou Zekai, the countryside was not a place where he could trap him. Sooner or later, he would go out and use the most dazzling way!

The educated youth looked at Zhou Zekai with complicated eyes again and clapped their hands, thinking that the other party was a fool, and thanking the other party for giving up this place. After all, except for Zhou Zekai's outstanding work scores, as long as everyone else is not lazy, there will be a chance...

Hang Ziqi also looked at Zhou Zekai, and was a little confused about Zhou Zekai's choice. Will a person in the city be willing to stay in this poor and backward village? There is no such thing as they want. This is not only a cage for their bodies, but also a place that binds their thoughts. How could anyone be willing to stay here?

"Okay, next, I will ask the village party secretary to announce everyone's work points and the comrades who announced that they have received the highest work points!"

This is the answer that Zhou Zekai and Village Chief Yang had discussed for a long time. In order not to make the village return quota become the object of unspoken rules, everyone used the work points to judge. The work points between men and women are different. Men go to the fields to do work, while women cook or make clothes. In short, although the judgment methods are different, they are still very fair.

The village party secretary did not expect that the village would have a quota for returning to the city so soon. However, when he thought about what happened back then, he was still scared and felt that the village chief's name was really good to arrange for returning to the city like this.

Soon, these educated youth heard their Ming name and work points from the village party secretary. Zhou Zekai's work points were naturally the highest, without any suspense, and the second highest, that is, the person who got the quota back to the city, made all educated youths fall beyond their eyes.

"Then the comrades who can go home early next year will be Comrade Feng Jingwen, who works the hardest in the village! Congratulations!!!"

That’s right! Among so many people, the second highest work score is actually a lesbian! Feng Jingwen!

Feng Jingwen is not very outstanding among these educated youths. Since she came to the village, she has been alone and not talkative all day long. She just works hard and has a very weak sense of existence. However, even such a woman, her work points are actually ahead of so many big men! The educated youths are all confused...

Feng Jingwen seemed to be hit by a surprise and looked incredibly at the village party secretary on the stage.

"I... can I go home?"

She has always disliked talking, and her tears fell down immediately, and her face was crying and laughing, which made Village Chief Yang come forward and comfort her. She also told all educated youth that in Pinghua Village, as long as she performs well and has high work scores, she will definitely have a chance to return to the city! Everyone must work hard to seize the opportunity! Don’t always think about being lazy...

These words made the educated youth feel hot. In fact, after they came, they had not left the village. They also met other educated youths in the village outside. After inquiring about each other, they realized that although there were educated youths in each village every year, because of the reason for the rank of the army, many educated youths could not go back for 20 or 30 years. This simply caused these educated youths to collapse.

After all, not everyone has a backstage and can go to the lineup! Now Village Chief Yang’s words directly make everyone have the motivation to fight again!

After hearing this, Hang Ziqi quietly grabbed her sister's hand and said.

"I will definitely save you more work points after the New Year and try to get you home next year."

With her brother's words, Hang Mengjiao also cried. She knew in her heart that her brother loved her the most. She thought that every second she had spent in this village was torment, and she still agreed with her brother's meaning. Her brother was so capable, and after she returned home, her brother would definitely be able to go home soon...

In short, the educated youth were really happy after they received this news. As the lucky one, Feng Jingwen, knowing that she could go home after spring was just overwhelming, was so happy that she also promised the village chief that she would work harder during the period of staying in the village.

Zhou Zekai stood in the crowd, seemingly out of place with these excited educated youths. These people were all excited to be able to go home. They had enough of such a poor and backward place, but they did not think about using their knowledge to change it. Knowledge felt that this place imprisoned them like a cage, leaving them nowhere to escape.

But for a person, the heart is free in any place, and the so-called bondage is nothing more than something that he imposes on himself.

Of course, Zhou Zekai could also understand these people who had lived in the city who had never suffered any suffering. When they came to such a poor village, they were naturally very scared and afraid, and even wanted to escape. He could understand all of these. It was precisely because of his understanding that he could not change this dark era, but wanted to change the bright charm of some people.

At least, when making the villagers rich, these educated youth feel that the future is not so difficult.

The day after the announcement of the news, it was snowing heavily in the village. The snow fell one day and one night, covering the entire village. When Zhou Zekai got up and opened the door, the snow outside the door was almost at its knees. Although the auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, the snow has also increased...

I quickly put on a scarf made by Yang Yuehua and made five-finger gloves after Zhou Zekai's instructions. They were very warm and convenient to work.

Taking out the shovel, Zhou Zekai began to shovel the snow with his fate. Finally, the snow stopped. Although it looked good when it snowed, the road in the village was particularly difficult to walk after the snow. Zhou Zekai thought that if next year, he must work hard to solve the road conditions in the village.

He had heard that the country wanted to build roads for several villages before, but after building bricks and paving the road, the villagers secretly moved away in the middle of the night. In the end, the road was left in vain...

Poverty can make people ignorant. They don’t know what changes it will bring to the village if this road is built. They only know how to steal bricks and think about getting some benefits.

The same is true for the rest of the village. After such heavy snow, they all got up to sweep the snow. The snow was so thick that it could not melt for at least ten days and half a month, and could not do anything else. It would be better to shovel the snow early.

Zhou Zekai looked at the snowflakes and had an idea. He took out his clean bowl and jar, dug the white and crystal snow into the jar, filling several jars, and planned to filter the snow water and make tea in the next year. Of course... if there is tea.
