Chapter 503 Novice Village Mission Completed
After assigning the three recommended places for admission to universities to three girls, Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong, Su Mingzhe took Wang Quan and Wu Qian aside to chat for a while.

From the TV series, we can see that Wu Qian, this woman, has the traditional petty-bourgeois materialism in her character, and is also a bit ungrateful.

'A little bit of kindness, a big bit of resentment', this is what people like her are like.

Su Mingzhe did not want to destroy the image he had worked so hard to build in Wang Quan's heart.

In a private chat, Su Mingzhe once again promised Wang Quan and Wu Qian that in addition to recommending them for college admission next year, he would also try his best to help them join the party next year.

"Can the two of us apply to join the party?"

Wang Quan and Wu Qian were so excited about the sudden good news that they were a little overwhelmed.

Compared with going to college, joining the party is more attractive to young people.

"Director Yang from the Youth Office has agreed to introduce me to you two. If it's you two, I can ask the old village chief for help. It shouldn't be a problem."

Su Mingzhe explained the situation to the two of them, and Wang Quan and Wu Qian both expressed their willingness to follow Su Mingzhe's arrangements.

At this point, the two no longer had any objection to Su Mingzhe giving the college recommendation places to three girls.

The next day, the old village chief came over and expressed his desire to hold a group wedding for Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan, Wang Quan and Wu Qian.

Su Mingzhe didn't care about these things and just treated it as a group dinner.

Among the elementary school teachers’ dormitories, two more spacious rooms have been converted into new houses.

Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan's new house is close to the kitchen on the east side, and Wang Quan and Wu Qian's new house is close to the vegetable garden on the west side.

There are four dormitories between the two new houses. Zheng's mother and Zheng Guangming lived in one, and Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong each chose one.

The reason these three women moved here was particularly strong. They said that they were the only three teachers in the Baiyashan Village Central Primary School. It was reasonable for them to live in the new house for a few days as they were about to leave Baiyashan.

Seeing that they spoke so confidently, Su Mingzhe just let them do as they pleased.

With the establishment of the new school, the air-raid shelter school has completely become the Baiyashan Youth League Center.

There are currently four male educated youth in the educated youth site: Zhou Bingkun, Peng Yuanchao, Bai Xiangyang, and Li Gui, and four female educated youth: Cai Lele, Guan Ling, Bai Xiuli, and Zhao Tongtong.

Four men and four women seem to have a balanced yin and yang.

In a blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.

The weather is clear and the temperature is neither high nor low, around 20 degrees.

Led by the old village chief, all the villagers came to attend the wedding.

Zhou Bingkun made a guest appearance as the emcee.

I have to say, although this kid is usually silent, he can make jokes one after another, and he can even tell tongue twisters and play clappers. He almost accounted for all the laughter by himself.

Several single female educated youth also focused their attention on him.

After the wedding is over, it's time for everyone to sing, dance, eat and drink.

With plenty of wine and meat, the meal lasted from noon to around seven in the evening.

At night, Su Mingzhe was in high spirits because he had drunk a lot of wine.

Xu Kai, who lived next door to the new house, couldn't stand the noise, so he took advantage of the time when the neighbors took a break and ran outside to enjoy the cool air.

Then, Xu Kai met Wang Yafang who was in the same distress.

Living next door to Wang Yafang are Wang Quan and Wu Qian.

When the two women met, they smiled bitterly, rested for a while, then turned around and knocked on Yu Hong's bedroom door.

Yu Hong is such a cunning girl. When choosing a dormitory, she actually chose the one in the middle.

On the second day.

Everyone's life returned to normal, but the three girls, Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong, began to review textbook materials in preparation for the exam eight days later.

Although you are recommended to go to university, you still need to take the entrance exam.

In order to seize this opportunity, the three girls studied their textbooks day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep.

In order to help the three girls review, Su Mingzhe specially made a review plan for them and checked their review progress every day.

It has to be said that Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong are very lucky to have met Su Mingzhe, a good man who is willing to consider their interests and is familiar with the future.

In the blink of an eye, it was early August.

The test results have come out. There were more than 60 children of workers, peasants and soldiers in Mulan County who took the test, but the pass rate was only one-third, which means more than 20 people were successfully admitted.

This number is very small compared to the more than 100,000 people admitted nationwide.

But for the educated youth in Mulan County, this was a huge leap in life.

The university that admitted Wang Yafang and Xu Kai is Hebei University, which is located in Jichun City.

Yu Hong's academic performance was a little poor, so she was admitted to Songhua River Agricultural College, which is located in the Songhua River area, only more than 20 miles away from Jichun City.

In addition, there are public buses between Jichun City and Songhua River area, making travel very convenient.

When Su Mingzhe learned that the three girls were admitted, he was happy for them.

Afterwards, Su Mingzhe went to the mushroom cultivation experimental base and found six female educated youth, Zheng Juan, Wu Qian, Cai Lele, Guan Ling, Bai Xiuli, and Zhao Tongtong, and asked them who was willing to take over as a female teacher.

Wang Yafang’s three daughters are gone, but the school cannot be closed.

The five female educated youth were unwilling to leave this quiet place, so they looked hesitant when faced with Su Mingzhe's questions.

Zheng Juan was the first to speak: "Mingzhe, I have never been to school. The little knowledge I have now was all taught by you. I will not mislead you."

Wu Qian also quickly spoke:

"I'm not very educated. I'm only in high school (fifth or sixth grade in elementary school). I haven't even been to junior high school. I won't embarrass myself." Su Mingzhe sighed and explained to the others:
"The village is currently expanding its greenhouses. The old village chief and I have estimated that by next year, the scale of mushroom cultivation will be at least ten times larger than the current level. By then, working here may not be as easy as teaching the children."

When the other four female educated youth heard what Su Mingzhe said, they immediately began to hesitate.

It was Guan Ling who raised her hand first, expressing her willingness to teach the children.

Afterwards, Cai Lele and Bai Xiuli also expressed their willingness to go to school to be teachers.

In the end, there was only a little girl named Zhao Tongtong, who had a good relationship with Zheng Juan and was unwilling to leave the mushroom cultivation base.

In this case, the new elementary school teachers were confirmed to be three female educated youth: Cai Lele, Bai Xiuli and Guan Ling.

Su Mingzhe brought the three girls to school and asked them to hand over to Wang Yafang and her two daughters.

Wang Yafang and her two daughters also wanted to leave here as soon as possible, so they took out their teaching textbooks and lesson plans, brought the three daughters to the classroom, and began to impart their teaching experience.

Su Mingzhe looked for a while, felt that there was nothing for him to do, and turned around to leave.

"Brother Su, wait a moment."

Xu Kai followed the man out of the classroom, blushing as he thanked Su Mingzhe:
"Brother Su, thank you for your care over the past year. Fangfang, Yu Hong and I would like to treat you to a meal alone."

"That's not necessary. When you're done with your work these few days, let me know and I'll take you back to Jichun City to prepare for school."

Su Mingzhe knew that after sending the three girls away this time, he didn't know when they would meet again, so he didn't want to make it too sad.

Besides, he already has a wife, and his mother-in-law and brother-in-law are still here. Even if he has the desire and courage to do something bad, he has no chance to do anything bad.

Su Mingzhe is not willing to play a boring game of ambiguity when he knows it will not lead to any result.

Xu Kai did not expect that Su Mingzhe would refuse so decisively. He pouted his lips in grievance:

"Brother Su, the three of us really just want to express our gratitude for your care for us over the past year. Can't you give us a chance?"

"I really don't have time..."

Su Mingzhe was left speechless by Xu Kai's expression.

Xu Kai's words and actions are becoming more and more like a green tea character.

I knew that the three of them were just expressing their gratitude, so I had no intention of agreeing to their request.

If Xu Kai invited me alone, maybe I would have accepted the invitation.

Seeing that Su Mingzhe kept refusing, Xu Kai felt a little discouraged and tried to persuade him a few more times. But when he saw that Su Mingzhe was determined not to agree to the appointment, he had to say a few more words of thanks.

A few days later, on Thursday, Su Mingzhe sent Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong back to Jichun City.

This time I went back to Jichun City purely to send the three of them home.

On the way to send the three girls home, Su Mingzhe felt a little proud.

At least he did not embezzle and bring harm to these three girls during this year.

Only Wang Yafang kept muttering that the three of them had known Su Mingzhe earlier, but Zheng Juan intercepted them halfway and snatched Su Mingzhe away.

Su Mingzhe just regarded her words as a child's complaint and didn't take it seriously.

Su Mingzhe stayed at home for a day, and on the next day, he went to the Youth League Office to take a bus back to Mulan County.

With the departure of Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong, the Baiyashan Youth League Center entered a relatively stable stage.

Wang Quan, Wu Qian, Zhou Bingkun, Zheng Juan and Zhao Tongtong are all considered Su Mingzhe's close confidants.

Although Peng Yuanchao, Cai Lele, and Guan Ling were not convinced of Su Mingzhe's leadership position, they were very obedient and resigned to their fate.

The remaining three people, Bai Xiangyang, Li Gui and Bai Xiuli, huddled together for warmth, and Su Mingzhe let them do as they pleased.

In the blink of an eye, summer turns to winter.

Another year.

In the spring of 71, the planting base had a bumper harvest. Zheng Juan, Wu Qian and Zhao Tongtong, the three women, harvested more than kilograms of Hericium erinaceus.

Under the guidance of Su Mingzhe, after drying, they obtained 300 kilograms of dried goods.

According to current international market prices, these more than 300 kilograms of dried Hericium erinaceus are worth more than 1,000 US dollars.

After the county received the news that Hericium erinaceus had been harvested, it immediately sent people into the village to collect all the Hericium erinaceus.

The reason is that all materials are subject to unified sales and purchase, and the government handles and arranges them uniformly.

Of course, the county also followed the rules and opened an account for Baiyashan Village in the credit union and transferred 300 yuan as the first payment for the purchase of goods.

The price of unified sales and purchase cannot be based on the international market price.

According to the national unified sales and purchase price, fresh Hericium erinaceus is 20 cents per pound, and dried Hericium erinaceus is one dollar per pound.

The participation in the Northeast is basically conducted according to this rule.

Hericium erinaceus can be harvested twice a year. According to this purchase standard and the current scale, the mushroom cultivation base can earn 600 yuan a year.

Now more than a dozen greenhouses have been fully built. Su Mingzhe, Zheng Juan, Wu Qian and Zhao Tongtong are preparing to train some villagers to grow Hericium erinaceus together. According to conservative estimates, the scale will be expanded at least tenfold.

By then, the annual income from growing Hericium erinaceus will be 6,000 yuan, or even more.

According to the old village chief, this is much more profitable than growing crops.

The amount of grain grown by the entire Baiyashan Village in a year is only worth six or seven thousand yuan based on the current market price.

Per person, the villagers of Baiyashan work hard all year round but only earn thirty or fifty yuan.
