Opening his eyes, he was in the 60th Military Region, mistook the person for someone else, and was k

1968 is almost over, and 1969 is just around the corner.

When the educated youth were first sent to the countryside in 1966, there weren't many educated youth yet, and there was no mandatory requirement to go to the countryside.

It wasn't until 1968 that large-scale educated youth were sent to the countryside.

The educated youth settlement was originally spacious enough, with each person having their own room. However, this year, dozens of educated youth suddenly arrived, and every room was crammed full of people.

Among these educated youth, some were only fourteen or fifteen years old, while others were only eighteen or nineteen.

They all started with high hopes, thinking of using their knowledge to transform the countryside and settle down there.

Little did I expect that after only a few days here, all I did every day was work.

Many people can't stand it, but they can't go back to the city, so they can only suffer here.

"Brother Lu, what do you think this Factory Director Xu that the captain mentioned wants from us?" Wang Xiaosan suddenly lowered his voice and whispered.

The refined and handsome young man standing beside him remained silent for a moment, then said, "You'll find out when we get there."

The educated youth at the settlement gradually arrived at the door of the brigade leader's office.

When they arrived at the assembly point, Xu Sui and the team leader happened to be walking out of the office.

The group of educated youths' eyes lit up when they saw a young, beautiful, unfamiliar woman suddenly appear.

"Look, look! We have a new member at our educated youth settlement. He's quite handsome, even prettier than Ma Shuya. I wonder if he has a boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Xu Sui, momentarily stunned by her fair and pretty face.

He is indeed quite handsome; even in the city, such good looks would be considered rare.

Not to mention putting it in the countryside.

Wang Xiaoshan got excited and reached out to nudge the refined and handsome young man next to him.

"Brother Lu, look! A new female comrade has arrived."

Lu Heng looked up and met Xu Sui's gaze.

Their eyes met, then quickly looked away.

He was slightly startled.

Immediately afterwards, the captain's voice was heard.

"Let me introduce you. This is Director Xu of Nanshan County Machinery Factory."

"The main reason I called you all here today is to discuss the pig farm that will soon be built in our brigade."

"Director Xu plans to select three people from among you to become the first batch of workers at the pig farm. The brigade has already consulted with the commune about this matter and received approval."

"If you are selected by Director Xu, you will receive the same treatment as the regular workers at the pig farm, and you will no longer need to work in the fields."

Upon hearing this, all the educated youth present were stunned and somewhat incredulous. They all looked at the young Xu Sui in front of them.

"She...she is Director Xu. Isn't she a new educated youth?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that the male educated youths were staring at Xu Sui in a daze, the brigade leader realized what was going on, laughed, and waved his hand.

"Haha, it's normal that you've misunderstood. Our Factory Director Xu does look quite young, but then again, he is indeed quite young, not much older than any of you."

"Next, let's have Director Xu speak to you."

Xu Sui walked up to these people, looked up and glanced at all the educated youth in front of her. Almost every face was quite young, yet full of vigor.

She cleared her throat, her voice bright and clear.

"Your team leader has already told you about the general situation of the pig farm, so I won't repeat it again."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: working at the pig farm is not easy, at least not much easier than your day job."

"Before you officially start working, I will send you to a specialized pig farm for training. Only after you have learned the skills and passed the assessment will you be qualified to stay at the pig farm."

"Anyone who wants to work at the pig farm can raise their hand now."

Upon hearing this, everyone present became excited and rushed to Xu Sui, raising their hands.

"I want to sign up... I want to sign up..."

As long as they don't have to work in the fields or go to work in the fields, they'll do whatever they want.

So what if it's a pig farm? A pig farm is still a legitimate factory, much better than working in a factory.

There were too many people who wanted to sign up, so Xu Sui pondered for a moment and had them line up so she could give them a brief interview one by one.

"Brother Lu, this is a great opportunity! Are you going? If you don't, I will!"

Wang Xiaoshan asked casually, not expecting Lu Heng to be interested in such a thing, so he ran towards the queue after asking.

He comes from a big city like Beijing. Even if he doesn't work, the things his family sends him every month are enough for him to live comfortably in the countryside.

He was different. If he wanted to have enough to eat in the countryside, he had to work honestly, but he couldn't earn many work points and still couldn't get enough to eat.

Even if I can get a job at a pig farm, it's still better than working a regular job.

No sooner had he left than Lu Heng glanced in Xu Sui's direction, remained silent for a moment, and then followed her into the queue.

Not long after, Xu Sui interviewed Wang Xiaoshan and asked him the same simple question.

"What's your educational background? Have you ever raised pigs? Do you have any relatives in this line of work?"

Wang Xiaoshan spoke nervously.

"I only have a junior high school education and have never raised pigs before, but I know a relative who works at a pig farm. Although I don't know how to raise pigs, I can learn. I will definitely study hard."

Xu Sui became interested and began to seriously examine Wang Xiaoshan. "Which pig farm does your relative work at? How big is it?"

"It's a pig farm in the city. It's quite large, and it seems to have over a thousand pigs."

Xu Sui nodded. "Stand on top of the captain and wait for me there."

We're just one person short; three people will fill the quota.

The person standing behind Wang Xiaoshan was Lu Heng, whose appearance was extremely outstanding and whose noble and imposing demeanor made him impossible to ignore in the crowd.

You can tell from their background that they are extraordinary.

Such a person has absolutely no connection to pig farming.

Xu Sui couldn't help but glance at her again, "Do you know how to raise pigs?"

Lu Heng spoke calmly.

"No, but I can learn. I have a very good learning ability."

"Give me an example of how good it is." Xu Sui raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time she had ever heard someone praise her like this, so she couldn't help but look up and examine the young man in front of her.

He is indeed outstanding in every aspect, and his demeanor is reminiscent of someone raised in a military compound.

Lu Heng looked at Xu Sui with his dark eyes and spoke seriously.

"From childhood to adulthood, as long as I am willing to learn, there is nothing I cannot learn."

"Give me a chance, and I'll prove it to you."
