Chapter 320: Quota to Return to the City

Happy days always pass quickly and are gone in the blink of an eye.

The villagers are busy most of the day, and they have some free time at the end of the day.

Compared with the first century, this era has a much stronger flavor.

There is a joyful atmosphere in every household.

Su Jinmei also rushed back before the time came.

Su Jinmei brought back a lot of things in large and small bags, most of which were for her family.

Of course, she also didn't forget Lu Wan's part.

Upon learning that Su Jinmei had returned, Lu Wan immediately went to visit her and chat with her.

She has a good relationship with Su Jinmei and can chat with each other.

Su Jinmei had come back to visit her relatives before, but Lu Wan was not at home at that time, so the two did not meet.

Calculating the time, the two haven't met for a long time.

When Lu Wan saw Su Jinmei, she thought that this girl must be living well in the labor group. She looked rosy and energetic.

The conditions there are definitely much better than in the countryside. Su Jinmei has gained a lot of weight compared to when she was at home. She is no longer skinny and malnourished, and her complexion is better.

The person is still the same person, but it feels like he has been reborn.

Seeing Lu Wan, Su Jinmei went to greet her from afar.

But she heard from her parents that her cousin was admitted to Beijing University.

It is very rare for ordinary college students of this generation to be admitted to Peking University, which is really amazing.

Su Jinmei looked at Lu Wan with admiration.

When two girls meet, they whisper a lot and chat non-stop.

Su Jinmei invited Lu Wan to have dinner at her house, and Lu Wan agreed.

Wang Meixia went to prepare the meal in a hurry.

My daughter brought a lot of good things when she came back this time.

Everything to eat and drink is 놋.

In a couple of days the production team will slaughter pigs and distribute the pork. It just so happens that my daughter is back so she can have meat every day, so I'll give her some good nourishment.

For lunch, Wang Meixia prepared a few more dishes.

There was a cured chicken at home, so I chopped it into pieces and stewed it with some potatoes.

Then there were scrambled eggs, bacon and stewed radish, and a dish of canned meat and sauerkraut. The lunch was very sumptuous.

I was having lunch when I suddenly saw Jiang Qingguo running over here.

Everyone who was eating was stunned. No one expected Jiang Qingguo to come over.

Seeing Jiang Qingguo, not only Lu Wan showed a look of disgust, but also Su Changde's family.

But despite his disgust, when he saw Jiang Qingguo coming over, Su Changde still stood up and asked with a fake smile, "Jiang Zhiqing, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Qingguo asked Su Changde excitedly, "Captain, I heard that our commune has begun to arrange for the educated youth to return to the city. Is this true?"

For Jiang Qingguo, what he looks forward to most now is to return to the city as soon as possible.

After returning to the city, no matter whether I can make it or not, at least I don't have to suffer like I did in the countryside.

He really couldn't do farm work. Given his physical condition, he could only go back to the city and do a lighter job.

Originally, Jiang Qingguo didn't have much hope of returning to the city, unless he could work hard and get into a university to get rid of the nightmare of his hometown, but this path was too difficult for him.

Who would have thought that good news would suddenly come from the outside: the educated youth from the countryside could return to the city without having to take the college entrance examination, as long as they were willing.

Lu Wan remembered that from December 1978, the country did introduce relevant policies to arrange for the educated youth to return to the city.

It was January of 1979, so it was not surprising that Jiang Qingguo received the news of returning to the city.

However, Lu Wan remembered that the educated youth returned to the city in batches. Not all of them returned to the city at once.

Of course, the large number of educated youth returning to the city also left many problems.

Because many educated youth stayed at home in the places where they were sent to work.

Those who are more conscientious will bring their children and partners over after returning to the city and settling down there.

There are also many irresponsible people who abandon their families and children after returning to the city.

But this has nothing to do with Lu Wan.

Just live a happy life with Su Zhenhua, why bother about others?

Even if Su Zhenhua didn't get into college, she would take him and Yuanbao with her wherever she went.

Su Changde nodded, "The commune did pass on this message."

Seeing Su Changde gave a positive answer, Jiang Qingguo was overjoyed.

That's good. I can only hope to return to the city.

Seeing Jiang Qingguo jumping excitedly, Su Changde said, "Don't worry, if the commune sends a formal notice, we will find a way to help you apply for a place to return to the city!"

Keeping the educated youth in the commune was of no benefit to the production team.

These educated youth from the city couldn't do much work at all, but the production team still had to support them. They couldn't let them starve to death, right?

Not only did the educated youth themselves want to return to the city, but as the team leader, Su Changde wanted these educated youth to return to the city as soon as possible more than anyone else to avoid causing trouble for the production team.

After hearing what Su Changde said, Jiang Qingguo thanked him repeatedly.

"Okay, Captain, thank you so much!"

Su Changde waved his hand, not wanting to talk to Jiang Qingguo any more. "Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go back first. We still have time to eat!"

Jiang Qingguo came here today just to confirm this matter.

Since Su Changde had promised to help him arrange a return to the city, there was no need for him to stay.

Just at this moment, Jiang Qingguo suddenly smelled the aroma of meat, and he was so greedy that his saliva started watering.

He hasn't eaten meat for a long time.

Fortunately, we will slaughter a pig in a couple of days, and then we will be able to have some meat.

Looking inside the room again, Lu Wan was there too.

Jiang Qingguo's heart trembled for a moment, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Seeing Jiang Qingguo staring at Lu Wan, Su Changde immediately frowned.

This is his niece-in-law, how dare Jiang Qingguo think about her?

Su Changde urged impatiently, "Jiang Zhiqing, why are you still standing there? Why don't you leave quickly?"

After being scolded loudly by Su Changde, Jiang Qingguo came back to his senses, and then smiled awkwardly, "Okay, Captain, I'll leave now. I'll trouble you with the rest of the matter!"

Waiting for Jiang Qingguo to walk away, Su Jinmei sighed, "This Jiang Zhiqing looks quite embarrassed and pitiful now. He is completely different from when he just arrived in the village!"

What Su Jinmei said was true.

When Jiang Qingguo first came to the countryside, he was gentle, handsome, and bookish, and he was the focus wherever he went.

He looks good, with a fair complexion, unlike the rough country guys who have been doing farm work for a long time and are dark all over.

If not, Lu Wan would not have looked at Jiang Qingguo in her previous life.

But now Jiang Qingguo is in a disheveled state, his face is full of vicissitudes, and he has become darker and thinner.

Of course, Lu Wan had no sympathy for Jiang Qingguo's fate.

Compared with the suffering she had endured in her previous life, Jiang Qingguo's treatment was considered too good for him.

Wang Meixia asked everyone to eat quickly, "Don't worry about him, he asked for it!"

Lu Wan followed up with a voice, "Aunt is right, he is in such a mess now, it's all his own fault, he can't blame anyone else!!"

After Jiang Qingguo's incident, everyone continued to eat and chat happily.
