Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

I was hospitalized yesterday afternoon and didn’t have anything to take back, so I had to leave it here for my youngest son.

After completing the discharge procedures for her daughter, Song's mother went back to the ward to pick her up and told her son, "Youlin, I'll take your sister home and bring you food. I told the nurse to take care of you at noon, so don't worry."

Song Shuangshuang, who had never had the chance to talk to her brother, waved goodbye to him obediently. When she turned around, she still felt dizzy. She didn't dare close her eyes as that would make her even more dizzy.

Then, Song Shuangshuang was held by her mother. "Be careful and walk slowly."

All the way home, Song's mother didn't dare to let go of Song Shuangshuang. When she opened the gate, she saw Song's father chopping wood.

In this era, coal was limited and had to be purchased with a coal book. Every household would save it and try to save it for heating the kang in winter. Firewood was used whenever possible, and firewood was sold by the poor villagers in the city before dawn.

At that time, there were no food coupons or meat coupons in the countryside. The remaining food was distributed only after the food task was completed. The meat was not even mentioned. It was only distributed per capita when the village slaughtered pigs at the end of the year. As for money, it could only be exchanged for money after the food was distributed at the end of the year. If the work points were not enough, they had to go to the supply team.

Only then did the brave ones go to the black market, or go into the city after dark to resell things on the streets to supplement their family income.

Song's mother came out after sending her daughter to her room, complaining, "Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?"

"When I woke up, I saw that there were not many small pieces of firewood at home. Anyway, I took a day off today, so I chopped some, so you can relax a little." After a morning of rest, Song's father did not look as tired as he did in the morning. Perhaps it was because he had let go of it and was no longer mentally troubled. He felt a little more relaxed.

"He's not that delicate, just chopping some firewood." Hearing her husband say this, Song's mother tucked her hair behind her ears to hide her discomfort. "You take a rest, I'll cook and send it to my son."

"Youlin is awake?" Song's father was quite surprised. He said that day that he didn't know when his son would wake up, but he didn't expect him to wake up so soon.

Mother Song said as she worked, "Well, I woke up just after arriving at the hospital. The situation is not as bad as we thought. The doctor said it would be best to observe for another two days before coming back."

"Then I'll go and deliver lunch to Youlin at noon. You can rest at home. You haven't had an easy time these days." Although Song's mother works in the cafeteria, it's not easy for her either. She has to take care of the whole family when she comes home. She has to wash and rinse all day long, and she is often so tired that she can't even stand up straight.

"Okay." When Song's mother saw two eggs in the cupboard, she knew what was going on. She thought her son must have exchanged them with Sister Wu yesterday. After hesitating for a long time, she took them out and said, "Return them to them early next month." The quota for this month has been used up.

"Yes, I know."

Song's mother cooked the meal quickly and put a few more scrambled eggs in the lunch box, which she would send to her son later.

Song Youhui couldn't eat in the cafeteria, so his father had a quick bite at home and then brought the meal to his son.

When Song Youhui came back in the evening and heard that his brother had woken up, he offered to go to the hospital to accompany him that night. He was young and strong, so it was nothing for him to stay up for two nights. Besides, it was not that he couldn't sleep in the hospital, he just wasn't used to it at home.

After two days of rest, Song Shuangshuang no longer experienced symptoms of dizziness and nausea, and Song Youlin was discharged from the hospital and returned home.

The family of five finally had a reunion dinner together. Unexpectedly, Aunt Wu came just after dinner. As soon as she entered the door, she asked Song's mother, "Why did you sign up your daughter to go to the countryside as well?"

Song's mother was stunned. "Our family is Youlin who went to the countryside."

Aunt Wu's voice was a little loud, and Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin, a brother and sister who were helping Song's mother clean up, were stunned. Song's father and Song's eldest brother also came out of the house.

Aunt Wu knew something was wrong when she saw Song's mother's expression. "You didn't sign up Shuangshuang to go to the countryside? Then why did my sister tell me that both of your children went to the countryside?"

Mother Song's face turned pale. She didn't care about her wet hands. She grabbed Aunt Wu and said, "Sister Wu, where did you hear that both of my children went to the countryside?"

Aunt Wu knew that Song's mother was anxious, so she hurriedly explained, "My sister is from the Youth League Office. Her family also has a quota to go to the countryside this year. She came to me today to exchange tickets for her child. When we were chatting, she said that there was a family with two children going to the countryside. I believed it and asked, and then I found out that it was your Shuangshuang and Youlin. That's why I hurried to find you."

After hearing what Aunt Wu said, Song's mother felt dizzy. It was Song's father who realized something was wrong and quickly walked to his wife and supported Song's mother in time.

"Hey, Lanzi, please sit down." Aunt Wu has been a neighbor of the Song family for many years, and she gets along with Song's mother almost like a real sister, otherwise she wouldn't have come to the Song family directly after knowing about this. Seeing Song's mother like this, she was also anxious.

Song Shuangshuang brought a stool for Song's mother to sit on.

Father Song stood behind Mother Song to prevent her from falling over, and then asked Aunt Wu, "Sister Wu, do you know the specific process?"

"I asked around, and my sister said that the day before yesterday morning, an old lady came into the Youth League Office just before them, saying that she was signing up for her granddaughter to go to the countryside. My sister was curious, because everyone wants to put it off for as long as possible. This was the first time she saw someone coming right after the office opened in the morning. She asked the child's name and the family situation. After checking, she found that someone in the family had already signed up to go to the countryside. She asked a few more questions, and the old lady said that her granddaughter had a high level of consciousness, and in order to take care of her younger brother, she didn't want her family to know, so she secretly asked her to help sign up. My sister kindly advised her that it would be fine for one child to go to the countryside, but the old lady said a lot about how the child had a high level of consciousness and volunteered to go to the countryside to build the motherland. With so many people listening, my sister couldn't refuse, so she did it."

After she finished speaking, she realized what was happening and slapped her thigh, "Could it be that your old lady reported it? What does she want?"

The Song family members were silent, obviously very angry. Song Shuangshuang felt miserable. It was okay to travel through time, at least she had a life, and the original owner even found a job for her. She didn't expect to have to go to the countryside!

Song Youhui snorted coldly, "What else could it be for? For work!"

Song's father didn't want to hide it anymore, and said, "The two children were admitted to the hospital because of Shuangshuang's job. I wanted to keep it a secret until Shuangshuang went to work, but I didn't expect that my mother and others would find out. They came to our house the day before yesterday to ask for work, and when they failed, they beat the children." Song's father hunched over a little.

Song's mother suddenly stood up and said, "Sister Wu, can you help me ask, our family already has a child who has signed up to go to the countryside, can Shuangshuang not go?"

"I asked, and my sister said that the list has been submitted and cannot be changed. Besides, your old lady has put many high hats on your family, so it is definitely not possible." Aunt Wu watched Shuangshuang grow up, so she asked immediately.

Seeing that Song's mother wanted to say something, Song Shuangshuang stopped her and sighed in her heart: Forget it, it's fate.

"Mom, the list has been submitted, so it cannot be returned. I'll just go to the countryside." This is actually a good thing. Her personality is different from the original owner, so it is normal for her personality to change a little after going to the countryside.

If she traveled back to the 74s, it would be fine. It is 77 now, and the college entrance examination will be resumed in . It is also a good thing for her to take the college entrance examination and go to college. She will be assigned a job after graduation. Based on her understanding in the past few days and the memories of the original owner, it is basically the same as the world before she traveled here, with no major differences.

But if it is another world, we will have to take it one step at a time.

Song's mother opened her mouth but could not say anything. Yes, the list has been submitted, and her family is not powerful, so it cannot be changed.

Aunt Wu couldn't stay any longer in this situation, so she said goodbye and prepared to go back to let the Song family take their time. When she reached the door, Song Shuangshuang called her, "Aunt Wu, wait a moment."

Everyone in the Song family looked at Song Shuangshuang, not understanding why she called Aunt Wu.

"I just heard you say that your sister's family also has a quota to go to the countryside this year. I don't know if her children have signed up. If not, I can give my job to her family." Anyway, Song Yaozu can't let it get away with it.

Thinking about her sister coming to her today to exchange tickets with a worried look on her face, Aunt Wu's eyes lit up and she quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll ask for you tomorrow." She just didn't know whether her sister had registered her child.

Song Shuangshuang pursed her lips and said, "Aunt Wu, you know the situation in our family. Since my grandma beat me and my brother for the job, and now she has signed me up to go to the countryside, she must be determined to get this job. I wonder if you can contact your sister tonight. If not, I will find someone else as soon as possible." At worst, she could just sell it at a low price and deal with it quickly.

Aunt Wu thought about it and understood, so she agreed, "Okay. I'll ride my bike to my sister's house now, and I'll tell you whether you want me to or not."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Aunt Wu waved her hand and said, "It's not a big deal. If it really works, my sister and her family will thank you." Then she left.

As soon as Aunt Wu left, the Song family returned to peace. It was Song Shuangshuang who broke the silence. "Since we have to go to the countryside anyway, we might as well sell the job." While speaking, Song Shuangshuang kept paying attention to the reaction of Song's father. In the original owner's memory, this father was actually quite "cowardly", compromising on everything and always asking the original owner and his family to tolerate.

So she didn't want to give the job to her uncle's family. She was not the original owner, so why should she give it up?

"This job is yours, so you have the final say." Song Youhui answered without even thinking. Seeing that his father had not taken any action in the past few days, Song Youhui became more and more disappointed, always worried that his father would not keep his promise. "Dad, what do you think?"
