Chapter 149: No Ambition... As long as he is happy, it's all that matters.

In the spring of 1977, a significant event occurred in Dahe Village, shaking the entire group of educated youths and spreading rapidly to the surrounding areas. Gradually, youths from nearby villages and even other communes came to inquire about the situation.

The reason was a male educated youth named Feng who suddenly applied for medical retirement with Chen Youshan, wanting to return to his hometown for "recuperation."

Feng, an educated youth, left a slight impression on Xiang Chen. He arrived after their batch and had been in the village for many years. He was also one of the educated youths in the village who remained single, rumored to have a childhood sweetheart back in his hometown.

Feng had a quiet and steady personality, was very grounded, and was physically fit. He was known among the male-educated youths for his competence. When just a few days ago he was still working with a hoe, suddenly applying for medical retirement, everyone knew what was going on.

For educated youths wanting to return to the city, the first difficulty was not the village's reluctance to let them go, but rather their hometown's unwillingness to accept them back. However, if arrangements were made at home, it would be much easier.

Of course, the attitude of the village cadres was also a problem. In some places, they would deliberately block such requests. Even if the family made efforts, if the village didn't issue the necessary certificates, the person still couldn't return to the city.

Fortunately, Chen Youshan was a good person. He had no prejudices against the educated youths in the village as long as they were hardworking, competent, and of good character. People like Xu Hengzhou were particularly admired. As long as it didn't violate policies, he didn't mind giving them a hand.

So when Feng came to him, explained the reason, and showed him the relevant documents from home, Chen Youshan promptly issued the certificate and allowed Feng to return home.

Feng, upon receiving the certificate from Chen Youshan, immediately burst into tears, a towering man shedding tears over a few thin sheets of paper. He deeply bowed to Chen Youshan in gratitude.

Feng became the first educated youth in Dahe Village, and even in nearby villages and communes, to return to the city. That same day, he quickly packed his luggage, and the next morning, amidst the farewells of the entire village's educated youths and most of the villagers, he embarked on his journey back home.

So far, there has been a lot of unrest among the educated youths, and Chen Youshan has repeatedly sighed and even consulted Xu Hengzhou for advice.

Since the departure of Feng, an educated youth, he has been considering this issue. What worried him was not anything else but the situation of those young folks from the city. He reasoned that if it were his children sent elsewhere to suffer, he would surely want them to come back.

But now the situation was different. After so many years of stagnation, they all thought these city youths would settle down in the countryside. Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to let their children marry the educated youths.

Now, with the policy changes, who would want to stay in the countryside and farm when they could return to the city? However, there were so many young people in the village who had married educated youths, and many of them even had children who were old enough to attend primary school.
