Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chapter 373 Humanity has no bottom line

After having a good meal and a good drink, Chen Xu took his wife and children home directly.

Before entering the courtyard, I heard all kinds of ghost howling.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Xu and Lin Chan both looked confused.

When we walked into the courtyard, we saw several families crying, including the third aunt. Yan Bugui stood beside them sighing.

"what happened?"

"Alas, my family is going to the countryside..."

Yan Bugui sighed and said.

Only then did Chen Xu remember the matter of educated youth going to the countryside. The so-called educated youth, in a broad sense, refers to knowledgeable young people, generally refers to young people who have received higher education. According to the current classification, junior high school is considered higher education.

The practice of sending educated youth to the countryside has been going on since 1955, but it was voluntary at that time. However, when the trend started, it became compulsory, and the authorities would select the educated youth based on their education and age.

This is the so-called list of people going to the countryside, which will be posted in places such as the street office. Once your name is on the list, you can prepare to pack up and leave.

Moreover, this situation does not happen once a year. There is no regular pattern at all. Sometimes many lists of educated youth going to the countryside are posted in a month.

Hongxing Siheyuan was unlucky this time, with five people directly on the list.

Yan Jiefang, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and two children from passers-by.

What these people have in common is that they are between sixteen and twenty-five years old, which is also the age standard for educated youth going to the countryside. As for people like Bang Geng or Yan Jiedi, they are not old enough.

Yan Jiefang felt somewhat fortunate that he was married and had a job, otherwise, he might have been the one to go to the countryside this time.

It is no longer the time when the educated youth first went to the countryside. At the beginning, everyone was quite enthusiastic about it, but after everyone knew what was going on, things became completely different.

The selected educated youth cried and shed tears, but unfortunately there was nothing they could do; they had to go.

Now Yan Jiefang is fighting for land at home. He really doesn't want to go, or rather, few people want to go.

Compared with Yan Jiefang, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, who have now moved out, are even more depressed. They finally escaped from their father's clutches, but now they have to go to the countryside as educated youth...

Nowadays, the importance of a job is extremely important, which has also led to a sharp increase in the price of workstations. In addition, under the current circumstances, even if you are willing to pay, you may not be able to buy a job.

Who doesn't have relatives and friends to help? Even if someone is willing to sell their job, it will be taken over before the news spreads.

Of course, there are no fools among them.

First of all, it is now 1966, and Shazhu is already 31 years old, which is over the age limit.

Secondly, he was not worthy. Not everyone was wanted as an educated youth. Even if Sha Zhu had received education and had a junior high school diploma, his status as a labor camp prisoner was enough to get him eliminated.

Actually, Sha Zhu really wants to go to the countryside as an educated youth. It’s better than his current situation, right?

Unfortunately, there is no share for him.

Now Shazhu is almost trapped to death in Beijing. He is criticized every day and can't continue his work in the black market. He relies entirely on his father and Yu Shui for secret support.

Even if he wanted to escape, he had nowhere to escape. Without a letter of introduction, he could not take a single step.

He Daqing became somewhat taciturn after experiencing all the implicated things caused by Sha Zhu. Fortunately, he was only implicated after all, and the young generals were far less interested in him than in Sha Zhu, so he felt a little better.

Now, He Daqing actually felt a little regretful.

If I had known earlier, I would have cut off my relationship with Sha Zhu like Yu Shui did...

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and it is too late for He Daqing to break off the engagement now.

Now that he knew what happened, Chen Xu no longer cared. He thought something big had happened in the courtyard.

It was only a matter of time before the educated youth went to the countryside.

When I returned to the backyard, the deaf old lady was still sitting at the door, but she looked a little silly.

Chen Xu didn't know how old the old lady was, but he estimated that she didn't have many days left to live. Being able to live through the chaotic times to the present day, she was definitely considered to have a long life.

He had no memory of when the deaf old lady died, but it should have been in the past few years since the wind started blowing. The deaf old lady never appeared in the film and television again. He could only infer some things from Sha Zhu's words.

For example, Shazhu said that after the deaf old lady died, Shazhu himself didn't dare to go to her house...

When the Chen family came back from their business trip, many people in the courtyard saw it, but no one asked much.

Now Chen Xu has grown up, and the residents of the courtyard are more in awe of him.

The only people who could talk to Chen Xu were Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and He Daqing.

But now He Daqing didn't dare to talk to Chen Xu. After all, Chen Xu was his boss's boss, and he also knew that Chen Xu and Sha Zhu had never had a good relationship.

Looking at Sha Zhu's current horrible state, if Chen Xu stepped on him again, Sha Zhu would be buried directly.

The days passed by.

The Siheyuan was not actually affected too much. After all, people here are from the lower class and it is still safe unless they commit suicide.

During this period, Chen Xu went out early and came back late, and he took away many of the so-called contraband that were confiscated.

As for whether someone would be unlucky or not, it was none of his business. Keeping it would only benefit those people with bad intentions.

The news of a thief appearing in the old city caused a lot of uproar. Many people were directly transformed from powerful patrol members to targets of criticism because of poor guarding or other reasons.

Many people secretly cheered in their hearts. These guys usually show off their power, but they didn’t expect that they would end up like this.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Xu, and no one will suspect him of this.

Moreover, even if there is suspicion, there is no evidence. Chen Xu is not someone who can be easily manipulated. Just based on the aura around him, it is impossible for ordinary people to touch him.

Moreover, it was not just a few things that were lost, it was the entire warehouse. It was true that Chen Xu was a martial arts master, but he was not a god. Where could he hide all these contraband that could be piled up into a mountain?

Isn't it complete bullshit to doubt Chen Xu?

The only ones who knew about it were Lin Chan and Xiao Yueliang. Xiao Yueliang couldn't say anything in the outside world, while Lin Chan didn't care at all about what Chen Xu did. She just told Chen Xu to be careful.

She didn't know why Chen Xu did this. Chen Xu had never been a money-loving person. Moreover, it might be an exaggeration to say that the Chen family was rich enough to rival a country, but it was definitely not a poor family.

The money that Lou Bancheng gave and the money he earned from his last trip to Gangcheng are enough for ordinary people to look up to for the rest of their lives.

Besides, the Chen family’s greatest wealth has never been these gold, silver, jewelry, books and antiques.

Chen Xu introduced these things to Lin Chan one by one. He is now a completely different person than before. He has basically studied all the books he could find using his space. Although he cannot be said to be omniscient, he can be said to be knowledgeable and well-educated.

Listening to what her man told her about these cultural relics and famous paintings, Lin Chan seemed to be able to hear the echoes of history in her man's words.

At this moment, she also understood why Chen Xu did this, her man was protecting these priceless treasures of China.

Just like Chen Xu's usual style, as long as it does not affect himself, he is actually willing to do many things.

These things will one day see the light of day in his hands, but if they are left to those people, it is estimated that not even a fragment will be found.

No one really thinks that the cultural relics that will be spread abroad in the future from China were all looted by the Eight-Nation Alliance back then, right?

No way? No way?

Chen Xu knew too well how low some people's bottom line was, or rather, they had no bottom line at all.

Humans are the animals with the least bottom line. Chen Xu is not surprised at all the cruel things they do.
