Secretary Gu Yuan accompanied Liu Hongyi around and tried every possible way to ask Liu Hongyi why this happened.

There was nothing to hide, so Liu Hongyi told him the reason with a smile.

"Xu Wenxin, is she back?"

Secretary Gu Yuan was stunned and asked in surprise.

"Yes. Secretary Wu, do you know Xu Wenxin?"

"I know I know..."

Secretary Gu Yuan nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.

"She was the only educated youth from Guyuan Commune to be admitted to university in 1977, and she even ranked second in the entire region. She was accepted by Qinghua University... We celebrated her birthday with drums and gongs, presenting her with a big red flower and an admission letter..."

There were not many educated youth sent to the countryside to work in Guyuan Commune. In 1977, when they took the first college entrance examination, only Xu Wenxin was admitted to university, and the other two were admitted to technical secondary schools.

Xu Wenxin was far ahead of the others, not only was he admitted to university, but he also ranked second in the total score in the entire region.

This was a very sensational event in Guyuan Commune.

Secretary Gu Yuan's memory was evidently excellent. Halfway through his speech, he seemed to realize something and looked at him with wide eyes. "You, you're Liu Hongyi? The Liu Hongyi who won first place? Secretary Liu Chuan's child, the one whose essay was published in the Masses Daily?"

Liu Hongyi laughed and nodded: "Yes, I am Liu Hongyi."

Buddy, I just told you the name, but you might have only remembered Liu Chuan at that time.

It's not his fault.

No matter which commune party committee secretary you ask, he will only remember Liu Chuan.

"Oh, Comrade Liu Hongyi, you're amazing, amazing! Back then, you were the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jingjiang Province..."

Secretary Gu Yuan was very excited and shook hands with Liu Hongyi again.

This time, it was not about respecting the first secretary of the prefectural party committee, but about respecting the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jingjiang Province.

Jingjiang Province has always had a tradition of respecting scholars.

If a child of a family is admitted to a university, or in later generations, if a child of a family is admitted to a key university, especially Tsinghua University or Peking University, it is a great event that brings honor to the family.

Not to mention the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

The reason why Secretary Gu Yuan was so impressed with Liu Hongyi was that the second place came from their Guyuan Commune. Although he was an educated youth, Secretary Gu Yuan also felt very proud.

Yuwen Chengdu was under his rule, so he must find out who Li Yuanba was!

Now, not only Yuwen Chengdu has returned, but Li Yuanba has also come.

Secretary Gu Yuan suddenly became excited and immediately ordered the guesthouse to quickly prepare the things Liu Hongyi needed. He then got on the jeep and went to the educated youth site of Niujiaoshi Brigade with Liu Hongyi.

When Liu Hongyi drove back to the educated youth site, Xu Wenxin and others had already cleaned up a bedroom and made it look presentable.

Originally, earthen kangs were not popular in the southern region.

Everyone sleeps on a bed.

But the conditions at the educated youth site were really poor, so they only had earthen kangs.

Pile a few bundles of dry straw on the earthen kang and put the bedding on top, and it will be barely enough.

Although it is very cold in winter, the only way to solve this problem is to pile up more hay.

The operation of burning the kang does not exist.

First, there wasn't enough coal and firewood available. Second, my skills weren't as good as those of my fellow Northeasterners, so if I wasn't careful, something would go wrong.

"Xu Wenxin?"

"Is it really you?"

Secretary Gu Yuan was quite excited when he saw Xu Wenxin at the educated youth site.

"Hey, Secretary Wu? Why are you here?"

"I heard from Comrade Liu Hongyi that you were back, so I came over to take a look."

"Oh, I don't deserve that. Thank you, Secretary Wu."

In fact, when Liu Hongyi drove away, Xu Wenxin felt a little regretful. He really shouldn't have made such a "request". Given the current condition of the educated youth center, how could people live there?

Unexpectedly, Liu Hongyi started to act without saying a word.

Xu Wenxin was still very moved.

Liu Hongyi introduced several other people to Secretary Wu. Hearing that they were all college students from Beijing, Secretary Wu did not dare to neglect them. He took a look at the environment of the educated youth camp and shook his head repeatedly: "Oh, how can people live here? Otherwise, let's go to the guesthouse for one night. The conditions there are much better than here..."
