The comrades in the educated youth office seemed oblivious to the two's fear, as they continued to speak with great passion.
"Three days later, you can go to Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China to train hard. Young people can endure hardship, are energetic and motivated. You are all great. We are proud to have such outstanding young people as you. The future of our country depends on you."
"But we..."
"You deserve praise and are worthy of emulation by others. I hope there will be more outstanding young people like you who know how to strive, work hard, and are not afraid of hardship or fatigue."
"Actually, we..."
"You don't need to be modest. You are good young people and good comrades. Anyone can see that."
"We want to say..."
“You don’t need to say anything, I know it all, I understand it all. What those educated youth wanted to say was nothing more than, ‘We will definitely work hard and contribute to the construction of our motherland, and be good youths. We will not let you down.’ It doesn’t really matter whether they say it or not. I understand your heart to serve the motherland. Good comrades, good youths, keep up the good work, and shine like a red star.”
Lin Sisi, Lin Guanghui: "..."
Why are we preventing them from speaking?
"Alright, I've informed you about your assignment to go to the countryside. Now, get going. Do your best in the countryside, and you still have to inform the next family."
The comrade in the educated youth office was a chatterbox. He rambled on and on, then turned and left without giving the two people who were going to the countryside a chance to speak.
Lin Sisi and Lin Guanghui were still confused about why they were being sent to the countryside, and who had reported them for it.
Finally, Lin Sisi caught up with them and asked them in detail.
"We didn't register."
"Huh? So I praised you for nothing? What a waste of my breath. I have to say, you guys are really not proactive enough. You signed up and now you want to back out? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Do you think the educated youth office is your private property, where you can sign up whenever you want and then deny it when you don't want to go to the countryside? Ha, don't you even know who you are? Do you think you're some kind of king?"
"Your names are already on the list, so there's no use regretting it now. Hurry up and prepare your things. If you don't go to the countryside by the deadline, someone will come and kidnap you. Little girl, you think you can fool us? No way!"
Lin Sisi was inexplicably lectured. "Comrade, we really didn't sign up."
"Go ahead and try to fool me. Stop talking nonsense, I'm not listening."
"Comrade."
"You're not allowed to chase me anymore, or I'll call the police."
The comrades from the educated youth office quickly left.
Lin Sisi returned home with a gloomy face and a dejected look on her face.
It was a done deal that she and Lin Guanghui were going to the countryside, and it was to the coldest province in Northeast China during winter.
"Who exactly secretly signed us up?"
Lin Guanghui was so angry that he kicked the coffee table in the living room and smashed it.
Fang Huilan was even more heartbroken when she heard that the children were also leaving, and she lay down on the ground.
She knew who it was without even thinking.
Lin Qingyan, Lin Qingyan, it's Lin Qingyan again!
I must have done this after taking the family's household registration book that day.
That wretched girl Lin Qingyan has caused so much trouble for their family.
"Mom, what should we do? I don't want to go to the countryside, I don't want to go to the Northeast." Lin Sisi shook Fang Huilan desperately: "Mom, I don't want to go to the Northeast. It's freezing cold there in winter. Only that sickly Lin Qingyan is suitable to go there to fend for herself. Mom, I don't want to go."
Fang Huilan was probably too grief-stricken, because she lay on the floor for a long time without saying a word.
After a while, she actually chuckled a few times.
She remembered something, and suddenly felt comforted.
Lin Qingyan caused them so much suffering, but her younger brother never had it easy either, haha...
Thinking of how Lin Qingyan had been tormented by her since childhood, and how she probably wouldn't live much longer, she felt a sense of relief and slowly sat up.
"Mom, what should we do? Please think of something!"
Lin Sisi wiped away her tears, feeling wronged.
Fang Huilan ignored all of this and reached out to grab Lin Sisi's chest again, which startled Lin Sisi, who quickly got away and covered her chest.
"Mom, Mom, what are you doing?"
Could her mother have suffered such a shock that she suddenly underwent gender reassignment surgery?
Pah! Pah! Pah! Her mother isn't transgender, she's a pervert! She actually tried to grab her breasts!
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Fang Huilan said, "Sisi, given our current situation, we'll all be homeless once the house is taken away. Give me the jade I gave you before, and I'll sell it on the black market to get some money to help the three of us get through this difficult time."
"No." Lin Sisi covered her chest tightly. Anyway, she was going to the countryside soon. There would be food and a place to stay there. She couldn't give the jade pendant to Fang Huilan.
Yes, hidden in her clothes was a phoenix jade pendant carved from the finest Hetian mutton fat jade.
Fortunately, she always carried it with her and hid it well, otherwise it would have been stolen.
However, this jade pendant originally belonged to Lin Qingyan.
This jade pendant was a keepsake from Lin Qingyan's mother. After she and her mother entered the Lin family, her mother thought it was nice and specifically asked her father for it.
Her mother consulted a master who said that this jade pendant was a rare treasure in the world, and that if a girl wore it, she would surely have a peaceful and prosperous life, and become very wealthy.
Her mother gave her the jade pendant when she got home.
But fearing that Lin Qingyan or others might see it and gossip, and also because of the current social situation, her mother always made her wear the item inside her clothes so that others could not see it, especially Lin Qingyan could not know about the existence of the jade pendant.
