The meeting place is still in Li Kuiyuan's hotel, and now this hotel is one of the few high-end hotels in Beijing, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going every day, but Shen Long and Li Kuiyuan no longer take this little money in their eyes, and use it more as a place for parties and business receptions.

There are no outsiders present today except Gao Yue, all of whom have stayed in the Zhiqing Point at the beginning, Gao Yue looked at these people curiously, judging from their clothing and temperament, these people have been clearly divided into two classes, Jiang Shao'an, Hu Jianjun, Sun Xiaoxia and others on Shen Long's side are well-dressed and talk well.

And Zhong Yuemin's side, except for Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun, everyone doesn't seem to be doing very well, just from the face, you can find the traces left by the long-term poor life, Zhao Dayong, who has been pedaling three wheels all the year round, has become a hunchback; Guo Jie, who delivered milk, had a bronzed skin and gray hair; After Qian Zhimin was laid off, he set up a bicycle repair stall, and his hands were full of green tendons, black like two old tree roots; Li Ping is not yet fifty years old, and she is already as old as a sixty-year-old person.

At first glance, Gao Yue couldn't believe that both sides were people of the same age, and Zhong Yuemin looked much older than the one in Qinling.

Cao Gang and Zhao Dayong seemed very restrained, and they didn't dare to look at Jiang Shao'an, and then they listened to them talk about their situation over the years, and their hearts were even more uncomfortable.

“…… Thanks to Kui Yong, we have always told us not to forget to study, and before the resumption of the college entrance examination in 77, I wrote to tell Kui Yong that I was admitted to China University of Mining and Technology, and as soon as I returned to northern Shaanxi after graduation, I was reused by the mine...... "Hu Jianjun is full of red face, and he has been a senior leader of the Mining Bureau for so many years.

"I was unlucky, I was admitted in the second year, and after graduation, I was assigned to the provincial government, and now I am living in the provincial education department...... "Liu Weihong is now at the deputy department level, and her children are filial, and now she is waiting to retire and take care of her grandchildren at home."

"I was admitted to the capital in college, and I stayed in the capital after graduation, and in the first two years, I went to the sea to make business with people, and I can't compare with Kui Yong and Yuemin, so I just have enough food and clothing." Jiang Shaoan said modestly that relying on Shen Long's help, he is now worth a lot of money.

The educated youths who came out of Baidian Village are either in high positions, have a solid family property, or become experts, and they are all high-end people who are not usually looked up to by the educated youth of Ishikawa Village.

Our two intellectuals are separated by a deep ditch, why is the gap so big? Zheng Tong fell into thought, and he and Zhong Yuemin could barely keep up with Jiang Shao'an and them in the educated youth of Shichuan Village, but it could only be said that it was reluctant, and the narrow ditch in the past seemed to have become a moat now.

Maybe these are the roles of that guy, in terms of origin and family, the educated youth in Baidian Village and Ishikawa Village are about the same, no, they may even be worse, after all, most of them are from Xi'an, and they are all from the capital.

But there are people in Baidian Village who urge them to study and find a way to find a way out for them, and on the side of Ishikawa Village, Zhong Yuemin stayed for less than a year and left, Zheng Tong himself only cares about reading books all day long, and doesn't pay much attention to Cao Gang and them, Cao Gang They can't jump out of their own vision to see the problem, they don't study much on weekdays, and after entering the city, they also go with the flow and are gradually eliminated by society.

However, compared with other educated youths, the educated youths in Ishikawa Village are lucky, Zhong Yuemin is a righteous character, and now he has a certain amount of capital, seeing that his former companions are not doing well, he immediately helped them solve the problem of work, so that Cao Gang and they have no worries for the time being, and they can go back to northern Shaanxi with the team.

This time, the big guys didn't take the train, Shen Long, Zhong Yuemin and Jiang Shaoan drove four or five cars, took Cao Gang, Zhao Dayong and others to eat, drink and have fun all the way, and it took three days to return to Jingbian County.

"Hey, is this still the Jingbian County we stayed in at the beginning? Yuemin, you shouldn't be leading the wrong way, right? When they arrived in Jingbian County, they were dumbfounded when they saw the wide highways, neat greenery and towering buildings in the county.

"That's right, I've been working here for more than ten years, and since the discovery of the coal mine in Baidian Village, the lives of the people in Jingbian have been getting better and better...... Hu Jianjun happily took them around the street, pointing to those landmark buildings and introducing their origins and allusions one by one.

In a conspicuous position in the museum, the big guys saw the photos of Li Kuiyong, Hu Jianjun and others when they were young, and they were holding a few pieces of swarthy coal, smiling and showing a mouthful of white teeth, and it was clearly written above the photo that this was the scene when the Jingbian County coal mine was discovered.

As soon as they heard that they were back, they immediately notified the county leaders to entertain them to thank them for their contributions to Jingbian County, and Shen Long and they quickly resigned.

Rest in the county seat for a night, the next morning went to Baidian Village, Baidian Village's old branch secretary Bai Mingchuan got the news and came to the county seat early to pick them up, and brought his own car, Bai Zhishu is 26 years old, now the body is still tough, and it seems that it can be tough for several years, and now he has retired, and several children in the family have done supporting services for the coal mine, and they have been sent over the years.

When I came to Baidian Village, I saw that the old caves were gone, and every family had built small villas, but the original educated youth point was still there, and it seemed that there were still people taking care of it; In Bai Mingchuan's words, thanks to these educated youths, the village can live a good life, and we can't forget our roots.

In recent years, because Shen Long often brought students from Shuimu University to the village to teach, so that the children in Baidian Village realized the importance of learning, almost every year there are children admitted to key universities, and these children will also use the holidays to come to the school to help, to tell their younger siblings and juniors about the outside world, and the school in Baidian Village has become a famous local school.

After enjoying a hearty lunch in Baidian Village, in the afternoon, the big guys came to Ishikawa Village across the ditch, and the two villages are very different just one ditch away.

Thanks to the economic development of Jingbian County in recent years, the highway has also been repaired to the entrance of Shichuan Village, and there are some capable people in the village who have earned money outside to build buildings, but a few scattered buildings are not very good looking in the middle of a bunch of dilapidated old houses, and in the small school in the village, a few children are running around, and their clothing and temperament cannot be compared with the children of Baidian Village.

From Baidian Village to Ishikawa Village, he felt that he had suddenly moved from a developed European and American country to the third world, and Zhong Yuemin was full of feelings in his heart, he turned around to look at Zheng Tong, "Zheng Tong, do you think we have something that is not something?" ”
