Chapter 188 I think they are all right

Mrs. Meng nodded and said, "It's settled. My son has been persuading me recently that it would be a good thing to let Ranran go to the countryside, saying that it would help build the motherland and strengthen his body and will.

Even his wife said that as military families, we should take the lead and be proactive. She also said that I cannot favor boys over girls. When the children grow up, I cannot always think about keeping them by my side. I should let them fly on their own.

I thought about it all night last night, and I think what they said is right. Fan Yuan registered Ranran the day before yesterday, and the place he decided to go to is the brigade in Hubei Province. I also registered Mengmeng this morning, and the household registration and other things have been registered.

I picked Meng Meng's place. Although she's not in the same brigade as Ran Ran, they're both in Hu Province. When the time comes, the two siblings will work hard together for national development. I believe my son and daughter-in-law will be proud of them."

Shi Luo didn't expect to hear such gossip when he came out to pour water. His eyes widened even more and he didn't want to go back to the house for a while.

Liu Cuihua sighed when she saw Shi Luo standing there with the cup, looking as if he was about to prick up his ears. Thinking of Shi Luo's love of gossip in the brigade, she waved and introduced him to Mrs. Meng, "This is my godson Luo Luo."

Shi Luo happily sat down next to Liu Cuihua and said, "Hello, auntie. My name is Shi Luo."

Mrs. Meng nodded. "Oh, he's really handsome. Are you married? Do you have children?"

Liu Cuihua: "I am still a child. How can I get married and have children? It will take a few more years."

Liu Mei thought that the commotion next door at noon was probably because Fan Yuan knew about her daughter's going to the countryside. "Auntie, is Fan Yuan in good health? I saw Meng Tuan was sent to the infirmary at noon."

Mrs. Meng was calm and composed. "Don't worry, she's fine. She went to the infirmary for an IV drip and is now lying in her room. She was so happy to know her daughter was going to contribute to the country that she was completely overwhelmed and had an asthma attack from excitement."

Old Mrs. Bai didn't know what to say. This seemed to be what her son-in-law said, about hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred. This old lady was also a ruthless person.

Mrs. Meng continued to reveal, "She's still too young to handle things. Look at me. Yesterday, I found out she signed up for Ranran. Although I was happy, I didn't faint. Alas, luckily I'm still here to support her. As an old woman, I have to live a few more years so that I can teach her what calmness is."

Liu Cuihua gave Mrs. Meng a thumbs up in her heart. This matter was handled very well. If I am not happy, you will not be happy either.

Shi Luo watched Meng Ran quietly hand a handful of peeled hazelnuts to Old Lady Meng before he began to peel and eat them. After thinking for a while, he said,

"In the south, crops can be grown two or three times a year. Plus, there's more rain and the air is more humid. It's common for people born and raised in the north to experience acclimatization issues when they move south. If possible, it's probably better to find a place in the north where you can live in the countryside."

Old Madam Meng knew that Shi Luo was saying this for her grandson's own good. "I also want Ranran to go to the countryside here, but there's no other way. This time, apart from the cities in the south, the only other places left are the Northwest. With Ranran's physique, he can only go to the south."

Liu Cuihua had met many educated youths in the brigade, from all over the country, and of all kinds. She had a good impression of Meng Ran, so she was not stingy in sharing her experience with him.

"Not all the educated youth who went to the countryside had bad lives. For example, in our brigade, those who were diligent, hardworking, and not picky or pretentious lived quite well."

Mrs. Meng smiled bitterly. "Ranran is perfect in all other aspects, but I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for her to do farm work. Even though she looks healthy now, she's actually still weak inside. The old doctor I saw a few years ago said that she had a premature birth and her essence was damaged. She needs to take good care of herself before she turns 20 and can't do heavy physical work. It's best to get married after 23."

As someone who had been to the countryside before, Shi Luo was quite experienced. "If you can't do heavy physical work, then don't do it. Bring some money with you when you go to the countryside, or your family can send you some money and things every month. If you work, earn a few work points within your physical capacity, and you can use the money to make up for the rest."

Meng Ran: "Is it okay to compensate with money? Will others agree?"

Shi Luo nodded. "Of course you can, but before you go to the countryside, you'd better go to the hospital to get a certificate or something. That way you can have a legitimate reason to go there, and it can also prevent others from saying you're lazy and not working."

Old Mrs. Meng slapped her thigh vigorously. "Why didn't I think of this? This is great. After the New Year, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup and a certificate. We'll go to Doctor Xiang. After you come here, you'll see him for all your medical treatments. He knows your body best and will definitely be able to give you a certificate."

Shi Luo: "Meng Ran, can you light a fire and cook?"

Seeing Meng Ran shook his head, Shi Luo continued, "Then you'd better take advantage of this time to study hard at home, otherwise when you go to the countryside, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat a meal that suits your taste."

Old Mrs. Bai nodded repeatedly, "That's right. The food cooked by the educated youths in our brigade was terrible. One year, our brigade slaughtered a pig, and those educated youths had few work points, so they used their work points to exchange for some pig offal. I don't know how they cooked it.

The next day, they all collapsed, vomiting and having diarrhea. The barefoot doctor from our brigade who treated them said their kitchen stank to high heaven and the smell was unbearable.

Mrs. Meng felt that this visit to the neighbors was absolutely right. These were all valuable suggestions. "That's right, Ranran. I have to teach you how to cook in the next few days. Don't go to the countryside and all be fine, not tired, but end up getting sick from hunger. That would be a big loss."

Jiang Hao saw that Shi Luo went out to get some water and didn't come back for a long time. He felt a little worried. He tucked in the quilt for Hu Hu who was sleeping soundly and left the bedroom.

Seeing that the sofa in the living room was full of people, he smiled and said, "Oh, our house is so lively, I can't hear any talking outside from inside the house."

Liu Cuihua: "Everyone knows that there are children sleeping at home, so we must be talking in low voices. Come over and say hello. This is your Aunt Meng from the opposite door, and this is Meng Ran."

After that, he introduced to Mrs. Meng, "This is my little five, Jiang Hao."

Mrs. Meng immediately praised him, "What a handsome man! Come over and have a chat with me."

Jiang Hao moved a stool and sat down next to Shi Luo. "What are you talking about?"

Liu Mei: "Meng Ran will be going to the countryside after the Lunar New Year. We should give him some advice so that he won't suffer in the countryside without knowing anything."
