Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

The 1977 college entrance examination was being prepared in full swing, but the weather in Mohe City was turning cold as in previous years, so people had to wear a thick cotton-padded jacket and two pairs of cotton trousers.

This was the first time that the educated youth team was so united. Some people began to suggest, "How about we organize a study class internally?" "Yes, it would be even better if we could elect a temporary teacher." "Or we can also tutor other people in the village in exchange for food."

"Yes, this is a good idea. This way we don't have to stick to the autumn harvest, and we have plenty of time left for review."

Indeed, most of the educated youth could not fill their stomachs. Human incompetence was partly the reason, backwardness of production tools was partly the reason, and the singleness of crop varieties and geographical limitations were also partly the reason.

Due to geographical limitations, the winter here lasts for six months each year, the average annual temperature is not high, and there is a lack of sunshine and hydrology for food production. People mostly rely on hunting for a living, and it is difficult to survive by relying solely on one of these.

"He Xi, have you completed today's mission?"

Because of the blisters caused by working while injured, He Xi felt sorry for Lu Jinan and asked him to rest at home for a few days. In addition, the country officially announced the resumption of the college entrance examination that had been stagnant for many years, so He Xi suffered a lot from Lu Jinan.

The educated youth in the dormitory suffered the same torture. The female educated youth could continue studying for a while after work, but some of the male educated youth simply gave up and fell asleep on the desk due to exhaustion.

"Why did you sleep?"

"Yeah, they are most active when it comes to studying."

"Also, it seems that Captain Lu hasn't come to work since the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination."

"Xiao Yan too."

“They are good brothers.”

"That……?"

The young woman looked at Li Zhi, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. She also wanted to chat about gossip to relax her brain after studying, so she asked, "Li Zhi, do you know anything?"

"I……"

Other female educated youth encouraged Li Zhi to speak out: "If you want to know something, just speak out. We are truly a whole and our interests are the same."

Li Zhi expressed her suspicion. She suspected that Lu Jinan and Xiao Yan were hiding at home and studying secretly on the pretext of being injured. For them, it was a case of being close to the water and getting the moon first. He Xi had ready-made high school textbooks, and it was much more convenient for them to study than them.

Moreover, they did not have a complete set of high school textbooks in the educated youth dormitory. The high school textbooks they bought in the village were torn and incomplete. They did not have time to buy more because they were busy with work in the fields.

The educated youth were jealous of his family's good financial conditions, and now they were using the excuse of being sick to stay at home and study, which made him even angrier.

The male educated youths immediately attacked together. The one who was sleeping on the table just now woke up and punched the table to attract the attention of others.

"No, we can't tolerate their selfish behavior. No matter if he is the leader of the Youth League or just a member of the Youth League, they should stand with us."

When they arrived, Lu Jinan's hands had just been applied with medicine. The blisters on his hands had been worn out from working, and due to bacteria, his hands were swollen. He couldn't hold the sickle at all, and it was difficult for him to use chopsticks to eat.

In the northeast, the house is built with a spacious kitchen directly at the entrance, and the east and west rooms are on both sides. Lu Jinan sat at the door of the house to heat the kang for He Xi, and started with the same old talk: "How was your study today? I'm making it convenient for you to be lazy."

He Xi was holding a bunch of bamboo shoots in her arms and was about to speak when a group of people suddenly broke into the quiet courtyard, with angry expressions on their faces.

"Lu Jinan, our Captain Lu, come and see how your injuries are." The person who spoke was the man who was sleeping on the table just now, Huo Jianguo.

He Xi didn't even share a glance with the visitor. Lu Jinan turned around with a casual smile on his face: "Oh? Why are you here empty-handed when you come to see me? Is this how your parents, who are role models, educate you?"

"Don't give me that shit. You're just being lazy and studying secretly at home."

Lu Jinan laughed at himself and raised his two bony hands to show them to Huo Jianguo and the others. With his swollen hands, it was hard for him to eat, let alone work? How could he be so depressed that he still wanted to torture himself?

The moment Lu Jinan showed them the situation on his hands, Huo Jianguo, who had been so aggressive just now, subsided and looked at the other educated youths behind him with evasive eyes: "Why don't you say something!"

The other comrade withdrew his words and awkwardly refused to support Huo Jianguo.

He Xi suddenly laughed dryly: "Alright, you made such a big fuss just to see his hands? Now that you've seen it, I won't send it off."

They didn't expect He Xi to start chasing people away directly, and there were still many things they hadn't said. They wanted to get the help of either Lu Jinan or Xiao Yan.

They are all freshmen who graduated last year. I heard that their grades are still pretty good. It would be a good thing if they could join the study.

Huo Jianguo smiled and said, "Don't rush to chase us away. We are also members of this village. We came here today to discuss something with Lu Jinan and Xiao Yan. I wonder where we can sit to talk?"

What? It's fine if you come uninvited, and it's fine if you can't be chased away, but why do you want to sit down and chat? Shouldn't I prepare some tea and melon seeds for you?

He Xi and Lu Jinan looked indifferent, and it was clear that they didn't want to accompany the party, but they seemed unable to read the host's mood and stood there, not wanting to leave.

When He's father was not at home, He Fei and Xiao Yan seized every opportunity to be intimate. Things had just begun and it was a good time to go deeper. They listened to the conversation in the yard from time to time.

He Fei pushed Xiao Yan on her body and said, "You go and take a look. It sounds like there are quite a lot of them. Lu Jinan has an injury on his hand."

How could Xiao Yan give up such a rare opportunity? He didn't know when he would find another opportunity. Father He was too idle and had time to keep an eye on them every day.

Finally, Xiao Yan put on his pants with a heart full of anger, and looked at He Fei lovingly: "Wait, I'll be back soon."

Xiao Yan came out of the house, and it seemed that nothing good had happened. He Xi and Lu Jinan looked at each other innocently. It really wasn't their intention. We couldn't do anything unless they left.

Huo Jianguo and the others were about to speak when they were interrupted by Xiao Yan, who said in a resentful tone, "Didn't you see his injuries? If you saw them, just leave."

"It just so happens that you are not visiting in good faith. The food rations for us educated youth are determined by the amount of land each person is assigned. We eat as much as we harvest. It has nothing to do with other people."

The purpose of their coming this time was to hope that Lu Jinan and Xiao Yan could return to the team as soon as possible. The area where Lu Jinan was injured while working was not originally theirs, but they just simply lent a hand and helped out, but it was taken for granted.

It would be great if they could return as soon as possible so they could work less and study more or sleep more.

Furthermore, they also hope that Lu Jinan, He Xi, Xiao Yan and He Fei can join them with their high school textbooks and knowledge and study together. To put it bluntly, they want Lu Jinan and Xiao Yan to teach them as well, as they heard that they all had good grades in high school.

What a good idea! The abacus beads fell on the other person's face.

That’s right, human nature is evil, what can these four people do to stop it?
