Gu Anning was somewhat flustered.
He hadn't expected that this activity of sending educated youth to the countryside would be so widespread.
It started several years ago, but not many people go to the countryside each year.
In Gu Anning's view, who would go when educated youth were sent to the countryside?
Only a fool would go.
The vast countryside offers great opportunities.
Young people should dedicate their enthusiasm to receiving re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants.
Doesn't he know what the situation is like in the countryside?
He too came from the countryside back then.
Life in the countryside is not something these city youths can accept.
Day after day of hard labor, especially in the south, can be exhausting.
In Guangdong province, people have to work all year round.
Even the most diligent people have to work on New Year's Eve, the very last day of the Lunar New Year.
Gu Anning initially agreed to Gu Yunyang's decision to go to the countryside in Guangdong Province with a "let's watch the show" attitude.
Do you really think Guangdong Province is some kind of wonderful place?
"Secretary Zhou, what do you mean?"
Secretary Zhou sighed: "It's also difficult for the educated youth office. Although there are no clear policies to promote educated youth going to the countryside."
But since you work for the municipal government, you should know that in recent years, positions have been scarce everywhere.
Isn't that right?
One reason why educated youth went to the countryside was that there was too much urban population and not enough job opportunities.
This policy was introduced to alleviate the contradiction between over-employment and overpopulation.
These unemployed young people in the city still need to eat every meal, and their demand for food is a very heavy burden.
In addition, they had nothing to do and spent their days wandering the streets.
They fight all the time, which causes a lot of social conflicts.
These factors combined are the reasons behind the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside.
The real reason, of course, was not to help farmers cultivate the land.
Everyone has so little land, not enough to grow their own crops, and not enough food to eat.
Do we need you to share the burden?
Therefore, in most places, the relationship between educated youth and locals was not very good.
As for the locals taking a liking to the educated youth and scheming to marry them, and the female educated youth marrying into the local community.
They keep emerging one after another.
Secretary Zhou sighed and looked at Gu Anning, saying, "This is a difficult matter. You previously publicized that your child went to the countryside to become an educated youth."
"But, Secretary Zhou, isn't that matter already over?" Gu Anning was very worried and didn't even bother to interrupt Secretary Zhou.
He knew that if Secretary Zhou finished speaking, the matter would become very difficult to handle.
Secretary Zhou had also noticed, but there were some things he had to say: "Xiao Gu, I know you're reluctant to send your child to the countryside. But you yourself were the one who publicized it to the municipal government. The educated youth office seized on this point and has already gone to my old leader today. You should think about it again."
This is a classic case of shooting yourself in the foot.
Gu Anning initially intended to use this as a pretext to get a promotion.
Who knew that Fang Jiangtao would find out about this, and that he would also learn the inside story.
Suddenly, he found himself in a somewhat passive position.
At this moment, the educated youth office is still fixated on this matter.
Gu Anning walked out, her mind in turmoil.
But he suppressed his anger and remained silent.
It was no use speaking up; Secretary Zhou's words were tantamount to issuing an ultimatum.
It was just persuasion, not coercion.
But even though they work for the municipal government, they don't have any freedom.
Some things are not things they can do just because they want to.
Secretary Zhou's former superiors all know about it.
