"Xiao Man, before you write the letter, I want to analyze something with you."
Yao Xiaoman suppressed the anger in her heart: "Sister Qingqing, you say."
"In the letter, Lan Fang mentioned a crucial piece of information. If she married the man her father liked, she would have the opportunity to end her rural life and return to the city to work. But I want to tell you that according to the current policies and situation, it is almost impossible for educated youth to return to the city in the future. Even if there is a policy, it will take seven or eight years to wait."
What Qiao Qingqing said is the future historical trend.
No one can change it.
Because the difficulties of the times could not be eliminated by human power, urban construction was slow and there were not many jobs available, resulting in a large number of educated youth being unable to find jobs, while there was a serious shortage of labor for grain cultivation in rural areas. Under these factors, the educated youth had no choice but to go to the countryside.
In the past, Yao Xiaoman, like Zhao Yong and other educated youth, were full of hope of returning to the city.
But as Qiao Qingqing analyzed everything bit by bit, Yao Xiaoman began to panic.
"No, it won't... Sister Qingqing, we agreed before we signed up to go to the countryside. We only need to work in the countryside for a few years, three years at most, and then we can go back. How can we not go?"
Yao Xiaoman grabbed her braids, her eyes full of fear and panic.
She still hoped that after returning to the city and getting a good job, she would have the salary to support her parents and brother and sister-in-law who were sent down to the countryside.
It was also because she thought that sooner or later she would have to return to the city to eat commercial grain that Yao Xiaoman felt that it was a blessing for Qi Guodong to marry her.
But if she can't return to the city, and can only be a hard-working peasant girl in Hongsheng Brigade for many years, then...will Qi Guodong's family agree to let her marry him?
"Xiao Man, don't panic. These are just my guesses and may not be accurate. Moreover, even if the situation is as I said, it doesn't mean that you have no chance to return to the city. You just have to wait a few more years."
Qiao Qingqing softened her voice. She had never been so gentle even to Lu Heng...
Lu Heng, who was holding the baby at the side, felt heartbroken when seeing this.
I always feel that my wife considers her younger sisters more important than herself...
Is it an illusion?
"No matter how long you stay here, I will stay with you. The country will eventually have to properly resettle us, but we just need to give it some time. Before that, we should settle down here peacefully and steadily. Even if we have to farm the land, that's still life. Isn't it worth the time?"
With Qiao Qingqing's comfort, Yao Xiaoman gradually regained her composure.
"Yes, Sister Qingqing, you are right. The worst that can happen is that we just have to maintain our current life...but as for my parents and my brother and sister-in-law..." Yao Xiaoman's eyes were red again.
Qiao Qingqing whispered, "Who said that we have no chance of making money when we go to the countryside? We can work together to find a way to develop a sideline business. Look, don't I get a subsidy now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yao Xiaoman's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qiao Qingqing changed her tone and said, "In short, staying here is not necessarily a bad thing, but now that Lan Fang has the opportunity to go, I think we also need to figure out for Lan Fang whether it is more important to return to the city and eat commercial grain, or to follow her heart."
