677: Just you? Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog?

Hearing Yu Xiaoye's words, Jia Song, Bai Zongdan and Xiao Ping were all very surprised, and the six eyes of the three of them looked at her at the same time.

Jia Song said:

"The Great Northern Wilderness is thriving right now, and you're already saying it's bad news? How do you know the return of educated youth to the city is the inevitable trend?"

Yu Xiaoye not only knew that a large number of educated youth would return to the city in the next few years, she also knew that the Beidahuang Production and Construction Corps would be disbanded after a while.

Before the establishment of the Corps, the farms in the Great Northern Wilderness were just ordinary state-owned farms, and the scale and number of farms were far less than they are now. Since a battle broke out on the border and the relationship between the country and the Russians became tense, the military established the Construction Corps here, and many educated young people rushed to the Great Northern Wilderness with the purpose of defending the border.

In just a few years, the Great Northern Wilderness absorbed nearly 400,000 educated young people.

With such a large number of educated youth, once the Corps was disbanded and its farms became ordinary state-owned farms again, these 400,000 educated youth would surely leave the Great Northern Wilderness like a receding tide.

And the outgoing tide is far more violent and intense than the incoming tide.

Once the 400,000 educated youth left, the old employees left behind would be unable to afford the normal operation of the farm company, and the farm would inevitably decline.

For the educated youth, leaving was a matter of time.

Instead of staying here and making a final struggle, it is better to plan ahead and return to the capital early to seek better development.

So Yu Xiaoye hopes that Jia Song can return to the capital as soon as possible.

"Brother Jia, I'm not saying anything bad about the farm. I certainly hope the farm will prosper forever, but you know that's impossible.

Now many educated youth are trying their best to return to the city, but there is no way to do so and they cannot go through the procedures to do so.

Only those who have family connections, like you and Xiao Ping, can have your eldest brother and Xiao Ping's father send you back in the name of recruitment at their units. The other educated youth who have no connections and no channels can only watch with envy.

When all the educated youth with connections in their families left, the remaining educated youth would definitely feel unbalanced. They would leave sooner or later, and the Great Northern Wilderness could not keep them.

If you're leaving, why don't you leave earlier?

It's not like you don't have connections. This time, you gave the spot to return to the city to Xiaobai. If you have another chance next time, don't miss it."

Jia Song pondered Yu Xiaoye's words and had to admit that although this girl was usually noisy and heartless, her analysis made a lot of sense.

Xiao Ping was also amazed:

"I think what Xiao Ye said makes a lot of sense. Before I came here, the educated youth in our company were also trying to find ways to return to the city. Although the Great Northern Wilderness is nice, it's too hard there. It's minus 30 degrees Celsius in the winter, and it's winter half the year. I believe that if given a choice, most of the educated youth actually want to return to the city."

Bai Zongdan also nodded. He knew that many educated youth wanted to return to the city. Those educated youth in the propaganda teams that everyone envied were thinking about returning to the city, not to mention those educated youth in agricultural companies who faced the loess and worked hard every day. They must have wanted to throw down their sickles and hoes and hoped to return to the familiar city one day.

Bai Zongdan was also very clear that if Jia Song had not voluntarily given up this opportunity and if Yu Xiaoye had not taken the initiative to help him fight for it, he would not know how long he would have to stay in the Great Northern Wilderness.

Now that he had taken up Jia Song's recruitment quota, he felt somewhat guilty, so he also followed suit:

"Brother Jia, I also think that if there is a chance, it would be better for you to come back."

Yu Xiaoye echoed:

"Yes, the main reason you gave up recruiting and returned to the city this time was because of your eldest brother and You Wenyue. Now that You Wenyue has been arrested, everyone is quiet. You should have no reason to refuse, right?"

Jia Song ate his food without responding, but he seemed to be thinking about this question.

He suddenly turned around and asked Yu Xiaoye:

"Hey, you persuaded me to go back, but what about you?"

"Me? I'm not an educated youth. My parents are in the Great Northern Wilderness. Where can I go back to? Besides, I'm getting married to the farm manager. I follow my husband wherever he goes. I'm different from you."

Jia Song sneered:

"You? You still want to follow the chicken when you marry a chicken, and the dog when you marry a dog? Come on, if you marry a chicken, the chicken has to follow you, and if you marry a dog, the dog has to follow you too!"

"Go to hell! I was trying to talk to you nicely, but you said something so harsh. You're taking my kindness for granted!"

"Look, look, you're getting angry, aren't you? You said you'll follow your husband wherever he goes, but with your temper, who do you follow?"

"What's wrong with my temper? What's wrong with my temper? Brother Heng didn't say anything. Now it's your turn to speak?"

As they talked, they started arguing.

Bai Zongdan and Xiao Ping, who were sitting opposite, looked worried but couldn't help laughing.

In the end, it was Jia Song who compromised first:

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. You are well-educated, talented, beautiful, and beautiful, stunningly beautiful, and unparalleled in your beauty. There is no one like you before and there will be no one like you after—"

“…”

The meal passed in the midst of noise and laughter.

After the meal, the three of them rushed to pay the bill, but Jia Song sat on the chair and watched them arguing with peace of mind.

Then Bai Zongdan was defeated first.

The remaining two "rich ladies" rushed to pay, neither of them willing to give in.

Finally, Yu Xiaoye suggested that each person pay half.

Xiao Ping felt that it was inappropriate. If each person paid half, what would be the point of eating the meal? Isn't the purpose of eating a meal to show loyalty?

Besides, he was originally from Beijing, and Yu Xiaoye came from afar, so he was a guest. How could he ask a guest to pay for a meal?

So in the end, Yu Xiaoye couldn't make any money anymore and finally asked Xiao Ping to pay eight yuan for the meal.

After dinner, both sides said goodbye at the door.

Jia Song rode his bike and took Yu Xiaoye to the compound.

On the way, Yu Xiaoye couldn't help but persuade Jia Song to go back to the city as soon as possible and not to delay.

We can ask our eldest brother Jia Zan to think of other ways. He has already wasted an opportunity to recruit workers back to the city, and it is probably difficult to find such an opportunity again. There must be other children of cadres in the Construction Bureau waiting to be stuffed in, and the same opportunity cannot be given to him again, so we must think of other ways.

or

, it’s not impossible to let Zhou Ziheng think of a solution.

But considering that Zhou Ziheng and Jia Song had a quarrel as soon as they met, it might be a bit difficult.

Yu Xiaoye kept giving Jia Song ideas, but Jia Song remained noncommittal, neither saying yes nor no, and his attitude was unclear.

Yu Xiaoye knew that Jia Song was a man who weighed 130 kilograms but had a rebellious nature of 128 kilograms. It would be difficult to persuade him, so he could only wait for him to understand it himself.

The two returned to the compound. Jia Song insisted on sending Yu Xiaoye to Zhou's house, intending to say hello to Zhuang Huaijian in person before leaving.

The two parked their bicycles in front of the door, and before they entered the house, they heard a woman crying in the house.

Yu Xiaoye stopped in time, hid beside the door, and grabbed Jia Song at the same time.

The two hid outside the door and heard the woman inside crying:

"Sister Zhuang, I beg you, can you ask Minister Zhou to release our Wen Yue? Old You has suffered a stroke and is still lying in the hospital with hemiplegia. Wen Yue is all I have left. If she is sentenced, what hope will I have? We have known each other for so many years, and I have always treated you as my own sister. Can you bear to see me suffer alone in my old age? Sister Zhuang, you are so compassionate. Please ask Minister Zhou to release Wen Yue. I will kowtow to you!"
