Reborn in the red age

Chapter 8 The time for going to the countryside is determined
Hearing that the Educated Youth Affairs Office asked her children to go to the countryside on weekends, Li's mother exclaimed, and then she softly begged with laughter: "Ah, this is too fast, my youngest has just graduated two days ago. She is still young, please give her some time and allow us to give the youngest some time to look for a job, do you think so?"

Qingfeng Li hadn't had time to tell his family that his younger sister's job had been confirmed, so Li's mother still didn't know that her youngest sister's job had been taken care of.

Now Sister Zhao was unhappy. She raised her eyebrows and spread her hands in displeasure. What I'm telling you is that the children are still young, and it's been a year now. Only the third child of this generation has not yet gone to the countryside. The others have left early. Tell me, if this is the case, How can our Educated Youth Affairs Office carry out its work?”

"I am responsible for the information work in this area. Just because your third child has not left, I am criticized every day in the institute. This time I came here and the director gave me a notice. Your Qingfeng must leave this time."

Having said this, Sister Zhao took something out of her pocket, took out an orange train ticket for educated youth and put it on the table: "Here, you two, take a look, our Educated Youth Office has issued train tickets for Qingfeng." , the director specially asked me to hand it over to you two. Now it’s completely decided. If your third child doesn’t go, then the third child’s food ration will be cancelled.”

He was a registered figure in the Educated Youth Office. No matter how many times he came to do work, he would never go to the countryside. This time, the director of their Educated Youth Office was really anxious and didn't even ask Qingfeng Li for his opinion. After consultation, the educated youth train tickets were directly issued, and the quota was canceled if they didn't go. It seemed that Li Qingfeng was going even if he didn't go this time.

Mrs. Zhao's long words made Mr. and Mrs. Li speechless. They lowered their heads and didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the Li family and his wife were silent, Sister Zhao sighed deeply and persuaded her earnestly: "Don't you two know about the work situation in our county? It's extremely difficult to find a temporary worker. I I advise you two not to waste such effort. No matter morning or evening, you have to go to the mountains and countryside, which is the only way for revolutionary youth. You two should pack your children's luggage as soon as possible. We can go together this weekend. I can still give you some money. Both of your families will be assigned to an educated youth spot. Then the two brothers and sisters can still take care of each other. If you wait any longer, I won’t be able to help your family even if I want to."

After talking to this point, the younger sister Li Hongmei didn't want to embarrass her parents. She stood up from the stool and expressed her position: "Aunt Zhao, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Please register your name for me. I will spend the weekend with my brother." Let’s go to the countryside together”

"Little sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Sit down quickly. Dad and I are trying to think of a solution for you about work. How about going to the countryside?" said the boss, who had been silent since Sister Zhao came in. , after hearing what the little sister said, he hurriedly pulled the little sister's arm, trying to make her take back what she just said.

Father Li and Mother Li didn't care about Sister Zhao's face as black as the bottom of a pot. They frantically persuaded the younger sister not to be impulsive, and the family would find a way for her. The scene suddenly became chaotic.

At this time, Qingfeng Li no longer pretended to be deaf and mute. He pulled his younger sister Li Hongmei to sit on a stool and said to Sister Zhao, who had a bad expression on her face: "Aunt Zhao, my younger sister was joking just now. Can you please Don't take her name seriously, her job has been confirmed, we will go through the entry procedures tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked, and everyone turned to look at Qingfeng Li in disbelief.The younger sister Li Hongmei opened her mouth blankly and looked at her third brother in surprise.

"Third brother, you are so awesome"

Just as Father Li was about to ask, Mother Li pinched his thigh severely under the table. He turned around and was about to ask his wife why she was pinching him, when he saw Mother Li winking in the direction of Sister Zhao. , realizing that there were outsiders behind him, Li's father quickly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

"Qingfeng, don't joke with your aunt. This is not how you hide away from going to the countryside. Your sister has just graduated two days ago. How can she find a good job so quickly?" "Won't we know tomorrow if it's true or not? Tomorrow It makes no sense for me to lie now when I can already know the result, Aunt Zhao, are you right?"

Hearing what Li Qingfeng said, Sister Zhao nodded silently. Li Qingfeng was right. The result would be known tomorrow. There was really no point in lying to herself now. It seemed that the work of the youngest of the Li family was really being investigated. Qingfeng Li ran out, which made Sister Zhao look at Qingfeng Li with admiration.

Although she was curious about how Li Qingfeng solved the work problem, now was not the time to talk about it. Sister Zhao suppressed her curiosity, pointed to the educated youth tickets on the table and said, "Qingfeng, I will give you the educated youth tickets." Now, you really can’t hide this time. What are your thoughts now? Tell your aunt.”

The Li family all looked at Qingfeng Li, waiting for Qingfeng Li's decision.

"What ideas can I have? Auntie, you have already told me. What other ideas can I have? If I go to the countryside, I will go to the countryside. I won't hide this time. You go back and tell the director that I will definitely show up at the train station on time on Sunday. "

Li Qingfeng, who had been mentally prepared, felt very calm and indescribably relaxed when he said he was going to the countryside. He had no fear of the harsh life in the countryside.

Seeing that Qingfeng Li had decided to go to the countryside, Sister Zhao clapped her hands happily and grinned to the sky. In stark contrast, Father Li and his mother sighed.

After confirming that Li Qingfeng would report to the train station on time, Sister Zhao did not stay at the Li family any longer. She happily left the Li family yard and prepared to return to the Educated Youth Office to report such great news to the director.

After Sister Zhao left, the boss quickly asked Li Qingfeng about his younger sister's work. Li's father and Li's mother also set their sights on Li Qingfeng.

Facing the family's doubts, Qingfeng Li casually made up a reason why he met Zhao Aiguo, the head of the personnel section of the textile factory by chance. Then everyone stopped asking and praised Qingfeng Li for being so lucky. Adventure.

When the sky was just getting dark, the second sister Li Youmei came in from outside on a women's bicycle.

It was the most valuable item in the family. The textile factory was far away from home in the suburbs of the city. After Li Youmei was assigned there after graduation, for the sake of Li Youmei's safety on her way to and from work, Li's mother ruthlessly used her family's savings to buy a car for her second sister. Phoenix brand women's bicycle. Because of this bicycle, my family's living standard has plummeted in the past two years.
