The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

The people from the county education committee had no interest in intervening in the affairs of the village, but since this incident had come up right under their noses, they had to ask a few questions. After hearing everyone's unanimous negative comments about Shi Meijun, they stopped asking questions and discussed it, saying, "There's not much difference between the written test and the practical experience of these eight educated youth. We should conduct a political review first, and then choose two after comprehensive consideration."

"Okay!" Zhu Xiaomin answered cheerfully, "We'll wait for good news from the Education Commission."

After saying that, several people hurried back to the county town, and said nothing more. They stood up to leave. The female comrade still couldn't help but say: "In terms of teaching quality, your primary school is indeed good, but the conditions are too poor. You should find a way to improve it."

Gu Mancang agreed immediately: "That's easy. In fact, we have already considered it. After the autumn harvest, we will gather some labor to make mud bricks and rebuild the classroom."

The people from the Education Commission were finally satisfied and followed Jiang Jiancheng and several other people from the commune out.

After sending the people away, Gu Mancang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhu Xiaomin, then looked at Xie Chengzhi, and said helplessly: "How could this happen?"

Xie Chengzhi was helpless: "That Shi Meijun insisted on participating, and she didn't tell me that she was about to give birth, but who knew it would be today."

Gu Mancang shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "This is really embarrassing for the county."

Zhu Xiaomin snorted, "It's not the first time she has brought shame to the county."

The last time there was a parade, it wasn’t just the county that was involved.

Gu Mancang thought about it and felt a headache, but there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, the teacher assessment work has been completed, and all that needs to be done next is to wait for the results. Everyone stopped worrying about it and started to discuss the opinions of the female comrade from the Education Committee on the classroom.

Zhu Xiaomin said: "In my opinion, the school should be built near the educated youth site, where it is quiet and convenient for teachers to take care of them."

Xie Chengzhi said: "It's just that the current conditions are really too bad. If nothing else, we must have glass windows."

Chen Danqing also said: "By separating the classrooms of each class, students can have classes without disturbing each other in the future."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "When we started recruiting the first batch of students, the children were of different ages. Later, we divided them into classes based on their comprehension and learning abilities. After that, the new students we recruited each year were six to seven years old, and we could follow the county's textbooks. They graduated from elementary school in five years, which was similar to the children in the previous batches."

Gu Mancang nodded repeatedly, then frowned: "There is no flat land at the youth education center now. Do we need to demolish the current one first and then rebuild it?"

Xie Chengzhi nodded: "Let's make the clay first. Once all the materials are ready, it will only take two or three days to build the house."

Zhu Xiaomin said, "Let's prepare the materials first, and then we can plan how to build it."

When the educated youth site was expanded, the vacant land at the back was enclosed. Is there any room for planning?

Xie Chengzhi and Chen Danqing both looked at her and nodded in agreement.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the autumn harvest had not yet begun and the base needed to be expanded, Gu Mancang consulted Xia Dongliang and decided to transfer a production team to arrange the material preparation task.

A week later, the Education Committee announced the results, selecting Guo Xingqi and Qi Yishan, with Jiang Xingyu and Yang Junqing as the backup candidates.

When the dust settled, the other three male educated youth accepted it calmly, but Wang Liwan was a little indignant. However, this was the result given by the County Education Commission, so she had to accept it no matter how dissatisfied she was.

Yang Junqing didn't understand: "What does this alternative mean..."

Zhu Xiaomin said, "See if Guo Xingqi and Qi Yishan change their minds. If they do, you two will take over." Then she asked the two female educated youth, "You have made up your mind, right?"

Guo Xingqi looked at Jiang Xingyu and nodded: "Well, if I just wanted a stable job originally, after these few months of substitute teaching, I think I really like this job."

Qi Yishan also nodded: “Me too!”

If the two female educated youth had not given up, the two male educated youth would not have had to take over.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "The Education Commission will keep this result. If there is no problem, I will reply to them and go through the formal employment procedures. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be officially included in the teacher establishment starting next month." Then he extended his hand to the two of them, "Congratulations!"

The two were also extremely happy and shook her hand. One of them said, "We also want to thank the old educated youth for their leadership and support."

Another said: "We will teach every child well."

Indeed, if the old educated youth had not withdrawn, they would never have been able to win with their three years of teaching experience and rich knowledge.

Zhu Xiaomin understood their thoughts and just smiled.

The situation was reported back to the county, and by the time the formalities were completed, the autumn harvest had officially begun.

Meng Zihao still brought the two students with him, along with a reporter from Yunzhong Newspaper.

Zhu Xiaomin left her son with Jiang Sao and took He Lanfang into the corn experimental field. She broke off a basket of corn with her own hands, tore off the outer skin of the cobs, looked at the plump grains inside, and then looked at the plants that were taller than ordinary corn. She felt indescribably happy.

This kind of corn not only tastes better, but its yield is probably twice that of ordinary corn.

Meng Zihao also broke off a backpack and put it side by side with hers, his face full of uncontrollable joy. He pulled Xia Dongliang over and held up the big corn for the reporter to take pictures. He sighed again: "If it weren't for Secretary Zhu's contact and Captain Xia's dedication, we really don't know when our experimental field will be successful."

Facing the camera, Xia Dongliang was a little embarrassed: "This... this... our production here is... directed by Secretary Zhu, and the seeds are also provided by Comrade Meng. We... we just planted one kind, and didn't do anything else."

Meng Zihao knew how difficult it was to get these eighty acres of land, and he shook his head repeatedly: “You took the risk of reducing production to build this experimental field for us, and you took good care of it from beginning to end, otherwise how could we have the current harvest.”

Zhu Xiaomin listened to the two people's politeness and said with a smile: "We are in a win-win cooperation, and neither of us can be missing. You are welcome."

Meng Zihao laughed and nodded repeatedly.

While reporters were waiting for the final data, Xia Dongliang was even more excited. He broke the corn and immediately had people carry it down. Then he tied it up and hung it up to dry in the threshing ground and the brigade yard.

After the corn cobs are completely dry, they rush to thresh the corn, weigh it, and calculate the yield.

By the end of September, this part of the work was completed and the final data came out, showing that the yield was exactly double that of ordinary corn.

Meng Zihao was indescribably happy, and immediately took the data back to the city and sent it directly to the newspaper office, publishing it together with the previous set of photos.

Xia Dongliang was both excited and regretful, regretting that he did not plant new varieties in all the corn fields.

When the news spread, the production team leaders of the other eleven brigades slapped their thighs so hard that they rushed over to discuss planting a new variety of corn with Zhu Xiaomin.
