Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it suddenly turns to April of six or eight years. The most beautiful April day in the world, no one can refuse the temptation of spring.

——Spring flowers are blooming, the grass is verdant, and the grass is green, so beautiful.

But no one has time to appreciate this year, the spring breeze in April is very cool, and the catkins and poplars in the sky are carried away by the wind, swaying with the wind, and sprinkled on pedestrians, walls, and streets.

It can't help but be annoying.

In the office, Jin Lijuan frowned and took a sip of tea in an enamel jar. She was worried, and for a moment she was careless, and the Revolutionary Committee issued a notice, emphasizing the mobilization of the "three batches" of graduates to go to the mountains and the countryside.

And her second daughter just received her graduation certificate, and she saw that there were still a few months before the end of the third year of junior high school, so she thought about not worrying.

Who would have expected that yesterday the neighborhood committee would notify the children to go to the countryside. It's not that she didn't think about being like everyone else, or running away to find a job and stay in the city.

But the year before last, her eldest son volunteered to go to the corps after graduation, and she and her man finally arranged a job for the rabbit cub last year.

It's going to be really unavoidable.

It's just that these words can't be exposed to the outside world, otherwise you will be given a bad hat. What made her even more worried was that the second girl in the family was so happy when she heard the news that she couldn't wait to leave Beijing immediately.

This dead girl has no heart and lungs, how does she know what kind of life the army is living and what kind of life the countryside is living, in the end, she blames herself and her husband for protecting their children too naïvely.

Jin Lijuan knew that when a person in charge from Yun Province gave publicity to those intellectual youths, he focused on describing the fairyland-like "charming Yunnan" and "south of the colorful clouds".

Everyone listened like crazy, and deeply attracted the children who were not deeply involved in the world.

That's really a lot of spittle, and the stars are flying.

When people talk about Yun Province, they have radishes on their heads, sugarcane on their feet, a handful of thumb-thick peanuts when they fall and reach out, and there are beautiful ethnic minority customs!

Of course, this person in charge cannot be blamed entirely, and many young people with lofty ideals now have infinite enthusiasm for "going to the mountains and going to the countryside". Last winter, many of the Red Soldiers wrote an oath to go to the countryside and presented it to them.

With such a general trend, it is inevitable that the two generations of parents and children will have conflicting ideas. In particular, "Go to the countryside, to the frontiers, to the places where the motherland needs it most!" "It's even more attractive to the kids in the city.

"If any of you have a ticket in your hand, don't hesitate to do anything, let me first, and I'll make it up for you later." She thought about it, since she couldn't change it, it was better to prepare things for the child to bring over earlier.

Zhou Jiao didn't care when she heard this, you must know that the other party is the niece of her eldest cousin-in-law, the husband and wife are both employees, and the eldest son also goes to work, borrowing tickets is nothing more than wanting to add something to the family.

She was not pretending to be generous, and took these two months of industrial coupons and a few sugar stamps of half a catty and a few taels. The others are gone, it's not that she's stingy, in addition to wages and industrial vouchers, there are also some vouchers sent by unit benefits, all year round, her supplies are all at home, which is well known.

The other two male colleagues are even worse than her, except for a few pocket money and food stamps in their pockets, the financial power is in the palm of their daughter-in-law's hands.

Jin Lijuan also knew in her heart, thanks to the three of them, she went out with the enamel jar and slipped away for half an hour, and when she came back, her brows furrowed even tighter, and she was about to kill flies.

In the unit, the other party usually maintains Zhou Jiao.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao broke her habit of not liking to talk too much in the unit, and looked at her, "What other tickets do you need?" I'll go back and make up for it. ”

Jin Lijuan smiled gratefully, she no longer hid it, and said softly: "My second girl is going to Yun Province to be an educated youth." ”

Zhou Jiao immediately frowned when she heard this, and paused, "The child is going?" ”

What she meant was that if the child didn't want to go, with Jin Lijuan's connections over the years, she could still block it. She didn't agree with going to the countryside very much, but she had her own thoughts, and it was not good to say.

Jin Lijuan nodded with a wry smile.

Zhou Jiao has not seen any other children in the other party's family so far, except for the other party's eldest son, and she doesn't know what the other party's daughter looks like.

She is not a person who likes to inquire into the privacy of outsiders, so after pondering for a while, she still asked, "Do you have to go to Yun Province?" Wouldn't it be too far, even from the outskirts of this distance? ”

"It's decided."

In this case, Zhou Jiao didn't have much to say. Originally, she wanted to ask the other party if she wanted the child to apply to go to her hometown in the northeast, so that she could take care of it, but then she thought that since the child had to go, it was estimated that he was also a radical ideologically, so it was better not to harm the old captain.

After all, in the words of the villagers, these little girls just can't do anything, lazy and squeamish. They are all pampered by their parents, and the painful period of adapting to rural life is too long.

From burning the fire to working in the field, according to the farmer's work and rest, it is not a simple matter to plough at sunrise and rest at sunset, not to mention the language barrier, and she has to shed her skin when she is busy with farming, just like when she first came here, every time she learns to go to the countryside in school, she is also very tired and uncomfortable.

But that's life, you have to adapt and conquer it.

"The children are all debts, and she is clamoring to leave, but I, as a mother, have to prepare something for her, otherwise I won't be able to sleep if I think about it."

Truly! Zhou Jiao patted her comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Then you sort out these tickets and see what is missing, I'll go back and find someone to make up, but there is really none, so there is no way." ”

Jin Lijuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She knows Zhou Jiao better, and if she can say these words, it can basically be solved. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about looking for Zhou Jiao directly, such as old military uniforms, military tickets or something. But she didn't speak, she was always difficult to speak, as if she was thinking about other people's little girls.

Like Zhou Jiao, there are also several people who ask Zhang Guoqing for help. Fortunately, everyone is in the compound, and each of them has a number of supplies according to their level every month of the year, so it won't make him embarrassed.

The era when intellectual youth went to the mountains and went to the countryside in full swing came, not to mention the outside, there were many wild children in the compound, and they would rather not be soldiers than go to the countryside.

It's been a very lively time. Farewell wine, separate wine...... A gathering of everything.

Compared with those buddies who have parents and elders by their side, the most pitiful are the big girls and boys whose parents are isolated and reviewed.

Some rely on a subsidy of 20 yuan a month, and some are reluctant to leave the capital if they are stranded at home with basic food, which Zhang Guoqing understands very well.

Everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers, who can let go of their hearts to go far away, and do not take into account their parents and elders who have not returned so far. For such people, he can help a little.

And those buddies and sisters who are disliked by their peers and whose parents have been qualitatively delegated, he and Zhou Jiao have not only given meager funding on the surface like everyone else, but also secretly gave big gifts.

Before entering the compound, he may have more or less held an investment mentality, but after so many years of getting along, even every grass and tree in the compound has feelings, not to mention these friends who used to be crazy together.
