One of the educated youth girls took out the military coat that she was reluctant to wear and handed it to Su Tong.

"Don't be so hasty to refuse. You have me in your heart, and we have you in our hearts, too. I have plenty of clothes to wear, but you don't even have a decent cotton coat. You'll freeze to death when you go back. Take this coat back first. It's also a gift from us to celebrate your admission to university."

It would be a lie for Su Tong to say that he was not touched, because they were just a group of people from all over the world who met by chance, but they treated him better than his own family.

Su Tong said thank you sincerely, looked outside, and then suddenly lowered his voice.

"Since we are all friends, I will tell you something. During the previous exam, many people said that they failed this time. The worst that can happen is that they can sneak back. Anyway, the supervision has been loosened recently. If you are brave enough, you can also run back. Anyway, there is no so-called going to the countryside now. It is a waste of time to stay here. It is better to go back and prepare for the exam at home."

As soon as these words came out, a trace of excitement flashed across the faces of several girls, and they all looked at each other expectantly. They all wanted to leave this damn place, but could they really leave?

"If you don't believe me, go to the city and ask around tomorrow. I guess several educated youth have already gone back secretly. The timid ones will starve to death, and the bold ones will die of gluttony. It depends on whether you dare to do it." Su Tong patted their shoulders.

"But let me be frank. I think I'll have to find a way to get food and oil back after I go back. Otherwise, I'll have nothing and might go hungry when I go back."

These girls are pampered by their parents at home and don't have to worry about going hungry at all. They came to this damn place in the first place because of the policy. Now that the policy has been relaxed, they don't want to stay here anymore.

That night, they began to prepare things quietly. The next day, they went to ask people and found out that several educated youth had indeed left. They could no longer sit still.

They didn't dare to leave openly. Although the village chief didn't care about it anymore, they decided to leave later in order not to attract attention.

Thinking that everyone was leaving, there was no need to save the remaining food, so they took out all of it, had a good meal, and made a lot of steamed buns and rice balls for the journey. They also took out the eggs that they had been reluctant to eat before, boiled them all, and each of them got five or six.

The two chickens they had raised before were killed and stewed into chicken soup. The soup was so delicious that even the children in the village would hang around their thatched hut.

The male educated youth were not stupid. Seeing that the female educated youth had eaten everything they were supposed to eat, they soon understood what they were going to do. After everyone discussed it, they decided not to stay in this damn place anymore and started packing up, ready to leave together after receiving the admission letters.

The others who did not receive admission letters left first, and the rest of them helped to cover up. The other people in the village would not be idle either, and would come to see them when they had nothing to do. Even if someone asked about it, Su Tong would say that they failed the exam and were sad at home and did not come out.

The villagers didn't care about these trivial matters. Anyway, the weather was getting colder recently and everyone was too lazy to go out. After the admission letters arrived, they quietly left with their things.

From then on, the formerly bustling youth education center was completely reduced to an empty house. When the village chief learned about this, he did not feel angry. On the contrary, he was very happy and directly distributed the house they lived in to the villagers.

The villagers were also very happy. On the one hand, they had more free houses, and on the other hand, they felt that there were fewer troubles. These educated youth did not do much work, but they were still good at eating. They always added to the burden of their village, so it was better for them to leave.

Su Tong finally understood what a birthday star meant after he got on the train. The hard seats on today's trains are really too hard, and the air smells particularly bad. Fortunately, it is winter now. If it were summer, it would be simply torture.

Moreover, the train was extremely slow, completely unlike the high-speed trains of later generations that only took a few hours to arrive. The train took at least a dozen hours, and her train took at least a day.

After finally arriving at the destination, Su Tong was almost driven crazy. Su Tong was lucky, at least he was able to buy a train ticket with a seat. Others couldn't buy tickets with seats and had to stand the whole time.

After getting off the train, the wind was freezing. Su Tong's relatives and friends gave her a military coat, otherwise she would have frozen to death after getting off the train. When she looked around, she found that many people came to pick them up, but she was all alone.

Su Tong once wrote a letter to the original owner's family, expressing his intention to come back, but after the letter was sent out, it was like a pebble dropped into the sea, with no response at all.

Su Tong walked home carrying large and small bags according to her memory. Later, she could not walk anymore and had to sit down to rest. As the sky was getting darker, she could only grit her teeth and continue walking home with the bags on her back.

After arriving at the place, Su Tong vaguely heard shouting and cursing in the house before he even opened the door.

"Boss Su, are you still a man? Didn't you see your wife being bullied by others?

My husband and I work hard outside to earn money, but my sister-in-law and brother-in-law stay at home and eat for free. Now they want to repeat their studies. Why do they want to repeat their studies? Doesn’t studying cost money? It’s better for them to go out and find a job at this time. If they can’t find a job, they can go to the countryside. Don’t stay at home all day and eat for free. There is not enough food at home. "

"How can you talk like that?" Gao Cuifang couldn't stand it any longer. "My son and daughter didn't eat your food, why are you yelling over there? If you're not satisfied, just pack up and leave. We won't let you have such a shrewd daughter-in-law."

Sister-in-law: "Why don't you eat my family's food? My eldest son and I work hard to earn money to pay for the family's food expenses, but now my son has to face other people's cold stares when he eats an egg. I won't bear this kind of suffering. Anyway, I still say the same thing. If I have to support them to study, I will just move out with my eldest son and we can live separately."

"Oh, my son and daughter-in-law are not filial. How can we divide the family property when the elders are still around? No, that doesn't make sense.

Besides, I used to have a job. If it weren't for the boss, I wouldn't have lost my job. So it's only right that you hand over your salary, otherwise the boss will have to go back to the countryside."

"Boss Su, why don't you come out and say something? I'm fussing about this family. Our son is not young anymore, and I'm pregnant with another one, but we still live in a small room. We don't even have a proper house. What should we do if this continues?

Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about your children.”

"Okay, stop arguing. I hope they can repeat the grade, but this is the last time. If they can't repeat the grade, I will find a job for them. As their brother, I have done my best. I can't support them in their studies for the rest of their lives."

This year, the fourth and fifth children of the Su family both took the college entrance examination, but both failed. They wanted to repeat the exam, but the cost of repeating the exam is not small. The eldest sister-in-law disagreed, so they made a fuss.
