There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it turned to April of 1968. The most beautiful April day in the world, no one can refuse the temptation of spring.

——The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the vegetation is verdant, and the grass is luxuriant, so beautiful.

But this year, no one had time to appreciate it. The spring breeze in April was very cool, and the catkins and catkins all over the sky were carried away by the wind, swaying with the wind, and sprinkled on pedestrians, walls, and the end of the street.

Can't help but make people upset.

In the office, Jin Lijuan frowned and took a sip of tea from an enamel mug. She was worried, careless for a while, the Revolutionary Committee of this meeting issued a notice emphasizing the mobilization of the three-year graduates to go to the mountains and go to the countryside.

And her second daughter just received her graduation certificate. Seeing that there are still a few months before the end of the third year of junior high school, she thought she was not in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, the neighborhood committee informed the children to go to the countryside yesterday. It's not that she didn't think of being like everyone else, or running away from relationships and quickly finding a job to stay in the city.

But the year before last, after the eldest son graduated, he made a fuss about volunteering to join the Corps. She and her man managed to arrange a job for that bastard last year.

This will really be unavoidable.

It just so happens that these words cannot be exposed to the outside world, otherwise I will put on you any hat if it is not good. What made her even more worried was that the second girl in the family was so happy when she heard the news that she wished she could leave Beijing immediately.

This dead girl is heartless, how does she know what life is like in the corps and what life is like in the countryside? After all, she blames her husband and wife for protecting the child too naively.

How did Jin Lijuan know this? When a person in charge from Yunnan Province was promoting to those educated youths, he focused on describing the fairyland-like charming Yunnan and the south of colorful clouds.

Everyone was fascinated by it, and it deeply attracted children who were not deeply involved in the world.

That's really hype, saliva flying around.

When people talk about Yun Province, there are radishes on the head, sugar cane on the feet, a lot of peanuts with the thickness of thumbs when you fall and stretch out your hands, and there are beautiful ethnic customs!

Of course, the person in charge cannot be entirely blamed. Nowadays, many young people with lofty ideals have infinite enthusiasm for going to the mountains and going to the countryside. Last winter, many red soldiers wrote down their vows to go to the countryside and submitted them to the higher authorities.

With such a general trend, it is inevitable that the two generations of parents and children will have conflicts of thought. In particular, the sentence Go to the countryside, go to the frontier, go to the place where the motherland needs it most! It attracted the children in the city even more.

Whoever of you has a ticket, no matter what, give it to me first, and I will make it up for you after a while. She thought about it for a while, since she can't change it, she should prepare something for the child earlier.

Zhou Jiao didn't care when she heard the words. You must know that the other party is her eldest cousin's niece. The husband and wife both work, and the eldest son is also at work. Borrowing tickets is nothing more than looking for something to add to the family.

She was not pretending to be generous, and took these two months of industrial vouchers, as well as a few sugar tickets that cost half a catty. It's nothing else, it's not that she is stingy, in addition to wages and industrial vouchers, there are also some vouchers issued by the unit's welfare, and her supplies are all at home throughout the year, which is well known.

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

Jin Lijuan also knew it in her heart, and thanked the three of them. She slipped out with the enamel jar for half an hour, and when she came back, she frowned even tighter, almost killing flies.

At work, the other party usually defends Zhou Jiao.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao broke her habit of not talking too much at work, and looked at her, What else do you need? I'll go back and make up for it.

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

Zhou Jiao frowned immediately when she heard the words, then paused, Will the child go?

Her implication is that if the child doesn't want to go, with Jin Lijuan's connections over the years, she can still block it. She didn't agree with going to the countryside very much in her heart, but each had her own thoughts and said it was not good.

Jin Lijuan nodded with a wry smile.

Zhou Jiao has not seen the other children in the other's family, except that the other's eldest son has come to the unit once, and she doesn't know what the other's daughter looks like.

She is not someone who likes to pry into the privacy of outsiders. After pondering for a while, she still asked, Do I have to go to Yun Province? Is it too far away? The suburbs farther away from here are fine.

It's confirmed.

That being the case, it's hard for Zhou Jiao to say much. Originally, she wanted to ask the other party if he wanted to let the child apply to go to her hometown in Northeast China, so that she could take care of her, but then she thought that since the child had to go, she probably belonged to a radical ideologically, so it was better not to harm the old captain.

After all, in the words of the villagers, these little girls are lazy and coquettish. They are all loved by their parents, and the pain period of adapting to rural life is too long.

From burning fires to working in the fields, working according to the farmers' schedule, plowing at sunrise and resting at sunset is not an easy task. Let alone the language barrier, you have to peel off your skin even when you are busy farming, just like when she first came here, every day The second time I went to the countryside to study agriculture in school was also very tired and unwell.

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

My sons and daughters are debts, and she wants to leave arguing, but as a mother, I have to prepare something for her, otherwise I won't be able to fall asleep after thinking about it.

really! Zhou Jiao patted her reassuringly, and said with a smile: Then you sort out these tickets and see if there is anything missing. I'll go back and find someone to make up for it. If there aren't any, there's nothing I can do.

Jin Lijuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She knows Zhou Jiao better, and if she can say these things, it can basically be solved. It's not that she never thought of looking for Zhou Jiao directly, such as old military uniforms, military coupons and so on. But if she didn't open her mouth, she always found it difficult to speak, making it seem like she was thinking about the little girl.

Like Zhou Jiao, there are several people who have sought help from Zhang Guoqing. Fortunately, everyone is in the compound, and each year and month is counted according to the level of supply, so it won't embarrass him.

The age of educated young people going to the mountains and going to the countryside is in full swing. Let alone the outside, there are many, many wild children in the compound who would rather not be soldiers than go to the countryside.

These days are very lively. Farewell wine, farewell wine... everything you need for a party.

Compared with those brothers who have their parents and elders by their side, the most pitiful ones are those big girls and boys whose parents are quarantined and inspected.

Some of them were reluctant to leave the capital even though they were stuck at home with a monthly subsidy of 20 yuan and basic food supplies. Zhang Guoqing understood this very well.

Everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers. Who can go to a distant place without worrying about their parents and elders who have not returned yet. For such people, he can help a little.

As for those buddies and sisters who were disliked by their peers and whose parents had already assigned them to the lower levels, he and Zhou Jiao, in addition to the meager support on the surface like everyone else, also secretly gave big gifts.

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