Chapter 260: Choice

This is definitely not a joke, so Chen Jing knows Ye Lin too well.

Since Ye Lin asked the second sister to go to work on the street, then there must be a reason for him.

To be honest, she didn't let her second sister sweep the street before, but after knowing what Ye Lin meant, she immediately changed her mind.

"Xiaojing, how can you ...... You were against it at first!"

"Can't I change my mind?" Chen Jing smiled and looked at the second sister.

While Chen Jing said this, she also said in her heart: Second sister, I am doing this for your own good, if this matter is said by someone else, I can not take it seriously, but this matter was said by Ye Lin, then I can't take it seriously, you don't know how evil Ye Lin is! Otherwise, you don't need to say it at all, you will go by yourself.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to know a person too well, just like Chen Jing now, Ye Lin's words made her a little worried.

Of course, at the same time, I am also very glad that if Ye Lin didn't say this matter today, something big would probably happen in the future, and it would be something that she and her family would regret.

"Xiaojing, let's not bring this, do you think this is okay? I don't go to the street, I'm going to work in the future, I'll get more money for the family." ”

"No, besides, cleaning is also work, although it is said that there is not much money in a month, but it is also a job. ”

In fact, the salary for cleaning and going to work in the factory is the same, when I first went there was not much, only a dozen yuan, and after becoming a regular worker, I also got 37 yuan and a half a month.

It's just that going to work in a factory sounds better, while cleaning doesn't sound good, and it's also despiseful.

This is normal, even in the later life, aren't there still some self-righteous people who scold and sweep the streets?

Ye Lin didn't know what those people thought, if it weren't for those street sweepers, they might have lived on the garbage heap every day, and what face did they have to scold others.

A job is just a profession, and there is no distinction between high and low.

Of course, this is only what a small number of people think, and most people still care about this.

To give a very simple example, if Chen Jing's second sister goes to work on the street and sweeps the street, when she goes on a blind date, the other party knows that she is sweeping the street, even if she is a regular employee, it is estimated that she will not be very happy.

Although she doesn't earn less than those who work in factories.

People are like this, sometimes they say they don't care, but they still care very much in their hearts.

But for now, there is no way to do it, even if it is to sweep the streets, it is better than going to the mountains and going to the countryside!

Besides, as long as you stay in the city, you have a chance to find a better job.

In December of '68, Grandpa Mao issued an instruction that "it is necessary for young intellectuals to go to the countryside and receive re-education from poor and middle peasants", and the movement to go to the mountains and go to the countryside was launched on a large scale.

The junior high school and high school students who were in school in '68 (the third class of students in '66, 67, and 68, later known as the "old third class"), all went to the countryside.

When the educated youth was sent off and embarked on the distant train, he was dressed in army green clothing, with a military hat but no emblem or collar badge, a bright red flower on his chest, and the word "glory" printed on the hanging silk strip.

The educated youths not only prepared their own military hats and military shoulder bags, but also solemnly embroidered the five big characters of "serving the people" in bright red on the "military shoulders."

Military uniforms have been popularized, the mystery will be transferred to the authenticity of military uniforms, when the development to the extreme, there are often sudden "snatching military hats" on the road, of course, this must be seen by people who know the goods is the real military hat.

According to the article, the total number of young intellectuals who have gone to the mountains and the countryside has reached more than 16 million, and one-tenth of the urban population has moved to the countryside.

This is a rare migration from urban to rural areas in modern human history. There is hardly a single urban household in the country that is not associated with the educated youth going to the countryside.

There are many destinations in the countryside, including Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang and other places. The places where the government designates "intellectual youth" to work and live are usually remote areas or economically backward counties with poor conditions.

This practice soon became established policy. At that time, some young people were "full of enthusiasm" to devote themselves to this movement, the so-called "full of pride in the countryside", "closely follow the commander Grandpa Mao, and refine loyalty in the vast world".

Some people even bit their fingers to write bloody letters in order to show their determination to take root in the countryside; Some went to Tiananmen Square and the Martyrs' Monument to take an oath, and some stole the household registration book from their homes to go through the relocation procedures despite the opposition of their parents.

But more urban youth are being forced to leave their homes and move to rural areas.

Compared with their life in the cities, educated youths generally feel that life in the countryside is very difficult.

Most of the educated youths who "go to the mountains and go to the countryside" have gone to the rural areas to "cut into the queue and settle down," but there are still some who are also engaged in farming, but they are living a paramilitary life in the "Production and Construction Corps," and their situation is very different from that of the "educated youths who have joined the queue."

In the impoverished rural areas, of course, educated youths cannot continue to receive normal knowledge education, and their cultural life is almost non-existent, but they also work very hard in farm work, and they have made great efforts and sweated profusely for the construction of rural areas and frontiers.

One-tenth of the city's population has left the city, and of course there will be more opportunities to work in the city, and at that time, it will be possible to change jobs at will.

To put it bluntly, the reason why there is a movement to go to the mountains and go to the countryside is because there are too many people and there are no employment opportunities, so they can only go to the countryside.

Don't think that's all, no, it's just six or eight years.

Since the beginning of the fifth year, there have been educated youths who have gone to the mountains and the countryside, but there are very few, and since the sixth or sixth years, there have been more and more of a sudden.

In '68, we only went in 66, 67, and 68, and a large number of them went in '66.

From the beginning to the end, a total of more than 60 million young intellectuals have gone to the mountains and countryside, and the third term is only a part of them.

"Second sister, in fact, this is just a transition, do it on the street first, in this way, you can know what a good position is early!"

"Uh!" Hearing Ye Lin say this, the second sister was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That's the same, okay, I'll go." ”

"Is that right, and can the family still harm you?" said the old lady.

"Grandma, this seems a little wrong, didn't you mean mine, why did you let the second sister go?" the third brother asked at this time.

"Okay, aren't you going? Besides, your second sister is older than you, even if it's a turn, she will come first. ”

"Uh! well. ”

After the second sister's work was finished, Chen Jing looked at Ye Lin at this time and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

"I didn't have anything to do at home, thinking that you should be short of peanuts and melon seeds here, so I sent some over. ”

"Peanuts and melon seeds?" Hearing the peanuts and melon seeds, the third brother's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly looked at the bag that Ye Lin had brought over.

"I've already bought it. Chen Jing pointed to the basket she had just put down.

"I know, isn't it less!"

A person only has half a catty of peanuts in the shell, and two or two melon seeds.

Even if Chen Jing's family has a large population, there are not many of them, besides, there is no difference between a large population and a small population, because it is calculated by the head.

Even if there are 100 people, there are still so many people.

"Are these these?" asked the third brother when he came to the bag that Ye Lin had brought over.

"Not exactly. Ye Lin stood up and walked over.

opened the bag, took out the clothes bought for Chen Jing from inside, and said, "The rest is gone." ”

How much space can a set of clothes occupy, Ye Lin is really.

"Here you go, when my sister and they went to buy clothes, they bought an extra one. ”

Fortunately, Ye Qi is not here, otherwise she would feel very wronged, because she didn't buy clothes at all.

"Uh!" Chen Jing glanced at Ye Lin.

I couldn't laugh or cry a little, because Ye Lin used this excuse every time, and she had already asked Ye Qi about this.

In Ye Qi's words, there is no such thing at all, everything is bought, and it is specially allowed to be bought.

Not only that, but there were many of them that she didn't know at all, and Ye Lin bought them herself.

"Thank you. ”

Chen Jing took the clothes over.

"You're welcome!" Ye Lin scratched his head and said.

"Wait a minute. After Chen Jing finished speaking, she took her clothes and went out.

Ye Lin knew that she had gone back to her house, and Chen Jing and her grandmother did not live here, but in the small room in the courtyard.

Chen Jing went out quickly and came back quickly, also holding things in her hands.

"Here you go!"

"Uh! for me?" Ye Lin asked, pointing to his nose.

"Well, I made the clothes myself, and I knitted the scarf myself, and I didn't buy it well, so don't mind. ”

"No, no, thank you. Ye Lin hurriedly took it.

This is much more expensive than buying, you must know that this is Chen Jing's own clothes!

There is also a scarf, which is knitted by Chen Jing with one needle, which is much more precious than spending money to buy.

"You're kind to me. ”

"Uh!" Ye Lin scratched his head.

"Xiao Jing, Ye Lin finally came here, you guys go out to have fun! watch a movie, or find a place to eat. The old lady said at this time.

"I'm going to see a movie? The second sister's eyes lit up and said.

"You treat me honestly, how can I have you everywhere. The old lady glared at the second sister.

"Uh! I want to watch a movie too. ”

Hearing the second sister's words, the old lady glared at her again and said, "It's easy to watch a movie!

The old lady said this, the second sister didn't feel anything, but Ye Lin and Chen Jing's faces turned red all of a sudden, especially Chen Jing.

Ye Lin's face was thicker, but he blushed a little, and he didn't feel anything else.

Seeing that Ye Lin did not object, Chen Jing said, "Let's go, let's go out for a walk." ”

"Oh! ”

The two men came out of the house and came out of the courtyard.

Ye Lin's sleigh was parked at the gate, that is to say, Chen Jing knew that Ye Lin was coming before she entered the house, no wonder she asked not why you came, but why did you come at this time?
