Fang Xinmei had some ideas, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "Never mind, let's just stay here for now."

She was hoping her father would get her back to the city, so why did he bring so much stuff?

Even for everyday items, Fang Xinmei tries her best not to buy new ones.

I will only buy something when I absolutely have to.

It can be said that Fang Xinmei did make some progress after going to the countryside.

In this respect, she is far better than Gu Changhong.

Gu Changhong lowered her head and noticed that neither of the two female educated youths were paying attention to her. A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

She fell into the water, so how could these two people be safely on the shore?

After the matter was settled, Gu Yunyang called everyone to leave.

This is, after all, the dormitory for female educated youth; it's not safe for such a large group of them to be here.

After coming out, Gu Hanping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was worried that those rooms you mentioned wouldn't be rented out."

Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "Does the brigade leader think that there will be no more educated youth going to the countryside in the future? Don't worry, the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside will not change for at least ten years."

Yang Xiulian was taken aback: "Really? So many educated youth have been sent to the countryside all this time. Why don't they stay in the city? What's so good about the countryside?"

Gu Yunyang sighed, looked around, and then said in a low voice, "Actually, the main reason why educated youth went to the countryside was that there weren't enough jobs in the city. Those jobs were all 'hired positions,' unless their parents transferred the job to them."

Otherwise, without connections, it's impossible to find a job.

Those job opportunities are extremely rare; others simply can't find them.

With more and more young people coming of age and having nothing to do, they drifted around on the streets. In order to maintain stability in the city, it was necessary to send educated youth to the countryside.

Another issue is that the country's food supply is indeed limited, and these people in the city are a source of instability.

So forget about it for the next ten years; in fact, I suspect the program of sending educated youth to the countryside won't end for the next twenty years either.

Gu Yunyang glanced at Yang Xiulian: "Look at the commune, how many people live in how many rooms, it's so crowded. The city really can't accommodate so many people, so forget about it, the number of educated youth will only increase in the future."

"Huh? So none of these people are going back to the city?"

No one likes someone like Gu Changhong.

It is common in human nature to resent those who have and laugh at those who don't.

However, several brigade leaders still hoped that such incidents could be reduced.

At least the brigade leaders don't have to go through so much trouble.

Everyone has been extremely busy with Gu Changhong's matter lately.

Gu Yunyang shook his head: "It's not that there's absolutely no chance of returning to the city. Those with connections at home, or whose parents are willing to pay a high salary for their children to take over their jobs, can still find some opportunities to bring their children back. But most people don't have that option."

My parents are skilled workers, some even at the seventh or eighth level, and their wages are quite substantial.

Even fourth- or fifth-level workers earn sixty or seventy yuan a month, but when their children take over, the salary is only eighteen yuan a month.

I don't know when I'll be officially hired and when my salary will be increased to 27.5 yuan.

Even 27.5 yuan isn't enough for a family's livelihood.

He's not the only child in the family; if he were the only child, he wouldn't have had to go to the countryside.

Therefore, the harsh realities of life mean that not many people will be able to return to the city in the future.

Finding a job isn't easy.

"Why."

Gu Hanping exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling both happy and depressed.

The good thing is that with more educated youth coming, there will always be some who are better off, and those ten rooms will definitely be able to be rented out.

Maybe that's not enough; we'll have to build a few more later.

The frustrating thing is that as the number of educated youth increased, so did the number of people distributing grain.

"When will this world ever end?"
