Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang felt a little irritable for some reason.

After staying in the office for a while, he took Chen Beixuan out of the research institute, planning to go around the village.

Originally Zhou Yang planned to go for a walk, but he gave up as soon as he left the office, it was too hot.

Mid-to-late July happens to be summer in Saibei Province, which is the hottest season of the year. When there is no rain, the average temperature is above 7 degrees.

Due to the dry weather and no rain, this year's weather is particularly hot, before noon Zhou Yang felt like he was in the oven.

In desperation, Zhou Yang had no choice but to ask Chen Beixuan to drive the car over.

Afterwards, the two drove to the brigade headquarters.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of the brigade headquarters, Zhou Yang saw a lot of people sitting around the big poplar tree in the center of the courtyard, and he didn't know what they were doing.

But he could see clearly who they were. Besides the familiar Wang Ping, Zhang Genwang, brother-in-law Li Jianguo and others, Zhou Yang also saw an unexpected person—his wife Wang Liping.

A large group of them sat around under the shade of a tree, seeming to be discussing something.

Seeing Zhou Yang get off the car, everyone immediately stood up from the shade of the tree and waved to him.

Zhou Yang strode over and came to the big poplar tree.

"People are so neat, what are you talking about?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.

Wang Ping immediately said: "The main thing is to chat with the comrades about the construction in the village. In such a hot weather, it is too easy to get heat stroke when working in the fields. It is better to finish the remaining projects in the village."

"However, if thousands of people work together, it is already considered a big battle. The weather is so hot, so you have to plan ahead!"

"Yes, do it after planning to avoid danger!" Zhou Yang said.

"I have already told my comrades about the construction projects. There are mainly four, namely the village brick and tile factory, the village activity center, the village high school and the expansion of the agricultural machinery factory."

Then Wang Ping continued: "Our preliminary plan is to go to work at five o'clock in the morning every morning, to leave work at ten o'clock when it gets hot, to go back to work after four o'clock in the afternoon, and to go back to work around nine o'clock in the evening! "

"During this period, except for the necessary left-behind personnel in each village, all the rest will live in our village, and all eating and drinking will be managed in the village. What do you think?"

"I have no objection, but where is the right place for so many people to live?" Zhou Yang said.

"If you have relatives in the village, you can live in their relatives' house; if you don't have relatives, you can live in a tent. If it's summer, you can't afford a place to live!" Wang Ping said with a smile.

"Well, remember to improve the food of the comrades, kill a few more pigs, and eat the ones raised by the family. It's not a waste!" Zhou Yang said.

"Row!"

Then Zhou Yang looked at Wang Liping, the teacher's wife next to him, and said, "Auntie, why are you here today?"

Wang Liping smiled and said, "I'm here to discuss with Branch Secretary Wang about the tuition students taking the college entrance examination!"

"Calculating the time, they should go to the county to prepare for the college entrance examination?" Zhou Yang said.

Wang Ping smiled and said, "I haven't left yet, the college entrance examination will start on the 20th!"

"It's only been a few days. Comrades, have you found a place to eat and live?" Zhou Yang said.

"The village has already made arrangements for them. You, a busy person, don't have to worry about this kind of thing, just leave it to us!" Wang Ping said.

"Okay, I hope they can get a good result in the exam this year, and it's best to surpass last year!"

Wang Liping shook her head and said: "This is impossible. The current group of candidates is incomparable with your wife's group. Judging from the third mock exam that just ended, whether it is the highest score or the average I have checked a lot!"

"Last year, all 220 people in the village passed the entrance examination. This year, there are 270 people who took the college entrance examination, but I estimate that at most half of them can pass the entrance examination, and there is a high probability that no one will be admitted to such a good school as Mizuki and Peking University!"

Hearing this expected answer, Zhou Yang didn't feel any discouragement or disappointment, but said with a smile: "It's not bad if you can pass half of the exam!"

His words are not comforting, but sincere.

Zhou Yang knew that in 1977, the number of people taking the college entrance examination was as high as 570 million, but only 27 were admitted, and the admission rate was only 5%.

In 78, the number of people taking the college entrance examination exceeded 610 million, and finally 40.2 people were admitted. The admission rate increased slightly, but it was only a poor 7%.

If half of the educated youths in the village can pass the exam, that would be a 50% enrollment rate, far exceeding the national average.

At this time Wang Liping asked again: "Comrade Xiao Zhou, just now I heard from Party Secretary Wang that you plan to build a high school in the village. Is this necessary?"

"Why not?"

"I don't think there are many older children in the village. I'm worried that you will not be able to recruit many students after building the school!" Wang Liping said.

"Hehe, don't worry, I promise that as long as our school is built, the source of students will not be a problem!"

Zhou Yang does have this self-confidence. He knows the quality of education in Northern Saibei Province, so it can't be said that it is bad...it can only be said that it is too bad.

Since they created the unprecedented myth of the college entrance examination last year, a large number of parents came to the village to inquire, hoping to send their children to the college entrance examination cram school in Babaoliang, but he refused them all.

It can be said that as long as this year's college entrance examination is not bad, as long as Zhou Yang is willing to spread the word, it is too easy to recruit hundreds of people.

But Zhou Yang doesn't want to turn Babaoliang Village into a college entrance examination factory like Hengshui or Maotanchang. In the future, even if the high school in the village recruits students from outside the village, it must strictly control the number.

"If there are enough students, then there will be no problem in building this high school!" Wang Liping said.

"Auntie, after the new high school is built, I hope you will still be the principal!" Zhou Yang said.

"I have been retired for so many years, let's give the opportunity to young people!"

"Young people will have a lot of opportunities in the future. In the first two years, you have to be watched by an experienced education expert like you. When the school is on the right track, it will not be too late for you to go behind the scenes!"

Then Zhou Yang said again: "Besides, Mr. Guo's project can't be finished in a short time, and he can't withdraw. It doesn't make sense for you to withdraw early!"

"You boy, this mouth is really good at talking, that's enough, I agree to this matter, but I have two conditions!"

"What conditions, you say?"

"The first condition is that I will be in charge for at most three years, that is, I will teach a complete class of students, and you will have to find someone to replace the principal later on!"

"No problem!" Zhou Yang said.

"The second condition is that the school's teachers must be strictly selected. After all, high school is different from elementary school. Anyone with a junior high school education can be a teacher. It is best to find a group of college students to be in charge!" Wang Liping said.

"You don't have to worry about the teacher's matter. Mr. Zhang has already agreed to help solve it. With his seniority and prestige in the State Education Commission, it should be no problem to ask a group of college students to come over!" Zhou Yang said.

"That's good..."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of a car engine outside, and then he saw a jeep rushing into the yard of the brigade headquarters.

Afterwards, Zhou Yang saw Liu Yunlong jump out of the car, and ran towards him.

Knowing that he was looking for him, Zhou Yang got up immediately and walked towards Liu Yunlong quickly.

As soon as we met, Liu Yunlong whispered: "The capital made an emergency call. Mr. Jiang is coming to our research institute. The plane has already taken off. We need to do a good job in reception!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang's expression was slightly shocked, and he hurriedly asked: "Who made the call, do you know what it is?"

"Director Zhang from the Equipment Department Office called in person, but he didn't say what it was!"

"Okay, I see, let's go back quickly!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yang greeted Wang Ping and the others, then hurriedly left the brigade...
