Chapter 3: A Decided Decision



Guan Xiaohong was about to refuse, but after hearing this, her eyes lit up. "Setting an example and identifying typical cases is brilliant! Comrade Lin, I don't know how to thank you enough!"

"No need to thank me, just take care of my business. This whole process should take quite some time, right?"

"Yes, I have to discuss it with my boss first." Guan Xiaohong thought about it and realized that it would indeed take a lot of time, but a week was the minimum.

"Okay, I'm not here recently. I'm staying at my relatives' house in the west of the city. I'm afraid you won't be able to find me when you go there."

Ning Xi wanted things to be done slowly, preferably after she went to the countryside, and now it seems to be the case.

This example is not meant to flatter Lin Xiaoyue, but rather a death warrant for her to go to the countryside.

Guan Xiaohong smiled broadly, "Don't worry, Comrade Lin. You've considered our work so much. We won't trouble you too much. We'll definitely notify you once things are finalized."

"Thank you, comrade." Ning Xi thanked him politely and left with the household registration book. She still had a busy day ahead of her.

Although Lin Xiaoyue's name was successfully registered, there were still a few other people who had not been dealt with, so no one could escape.

Guan Xiaohong looked at her cheerful back and shook her head secretly, thinking to herself, thank you too, for completing another target and giving her a good idea.

"Xiao Guan, why are you so happy?" The clerk, Sister Liu, had just returned from another visit to another household in the street to mobilize people to go to the countryside. She had talked her mouth off but she just didn't want to go to the countryside.

Wouldn't it be better to sign up proactively? You can also get someone close, but everyone wants to drag it out.

The key point is that nowadays, jobs are all for each person, so it’s not that easy to find one.

"Sister Liu, someone just came to sign up to go to the countryside." Guan Xiaohong replied happily.

Liu Yufeng opened her mouth in surprise, "Whose is it?"

There was not a single household on this street that she didn't know, and she had never heard of any family with such highly conscious children.

"My name is Lin Xiaoyue."

"Lin Xiaoyue? The daughter that Lin Yongjun had before? Didn't someone in their family go to the countryside?" She had handled it personally at that time, and the couple came to register for their other daughter.

"They said they wanted to build the motherland." Guan Xiaohong admired him from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Yufeng smacked her lips. "It seems their family is very cooperative with our work and has a high level of awareness. I think they must be counted among the activists in our neighborhood this year."

But she always felt that something was wrong. Just as she was frowning and thinking, Guan Xiaohong came over with a ceramic jar, looking excited.

"Sister Liu, you must be running outside in this hot weather. You must be tired. Have a drink of water."

"What bad idea do you have, girl?" Liu Yufeng's daily job is to deal with the masses, so how could she not see that this girl had something to say.

"Sister Liu, you are really wronging me. If I were inexperienced and not good at speaking, I would be eager to go out and mobilize them for you." Guan Xiaohong pulled Liu Yufeng to sit down and fanned her with a palm-leaf fan.

"I'm just thinking, since Lin Xiaoyue is so highly conscious and proactive, how about we report this to the higher-ups and make her an example?"

"Set an example? Great!" Liu Yufeng thought about it and it really made sense. She put aside the strange feeling just now.

If this is publicized, the girls will take the initiative to go to the countryside, and those boys will find it difficult to refuse, right?

Although they can notify directly, they still follow the plan of mobilizing people to sign up voluntarily first, so that there won't be too much conflict with the masses.

The work of the street is closely related to the masses, and they hope to resolve the issue peacefully unless absolutely necessary.

"The girl is good, she's the material for this line of work. I'll tell Director Fang when he comes back."

Liu Yufeng had just finished praising Guan Xiaohong when Director Fang came in.

Whatever you want comes true.

"Oh, this job is really hard." Fang Danian had just returned from a meeting in the district, where he was asked to continue working hard to recruit the next batch of people to join the team.

"Director, I have a good idea. The idea Xiaohong just proposed might be helpful to our work."

"Are there any young girls in our neighborhood who are taking the initiative to go to the countryside? We must commend them. It is very necessary for us to carry out our work smoothly."

After listening to this, Fang Danian expressed his full agreement.

"How about this, don't rush into it. I'll go ask the district for permission. Maybe we can organize a big publicity campaign."

Now everyone is trying to find ways to avoid going to the countryside, but there are indicators from above, and their work is not easy.

If there is a role model, it will not only benefit their street, but also the clerks in other streets. Maybe the higher-ups will even give them credit.

Thinking of this, Fang Danian hurried out of the office and rode away on his bicycle.

It was around one or two in the afternoon. The sun was very strong and there were almost no people on the streets. Ning Xi specifically chose to walk in the shade.

"You definitely can't build it like this. It's bound to be crooked. You have to do this, and then this..."

There were a few men building a wall nearby, apparently wanting to build a side house in the yard. An old man next to them was yelling at them to tear it down and rebuild it.

However, those young people had their own persistence. One man laughed and said:

"Uncle, we know what to do. Go play over to the side. Be careful that the bricks don't fall and hit you."

"That's right. Even if it collapses in the future, it will be our family members who will be hurt." Another man wiped his sweat and said impatiently.

It's hard enough to work in this hot weather, and this old man came out from nowhere. He kept complaining while watching for a while.

"If you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences. Just wait and see." Seeing that they didn't appreciate it, the old man turned around and left without saying anything more.

Ning Xi followed him and said, "Uncle, I think what you just said makes sense. Was he an engineer before?"

The old man raised his chin slightly and said modestly: "That's not the case. I just know a little bit. Do you believe that they will definitely collapse?"

"Of course I believe you. I knew you were knowledgeable. But you're not young anymore, but you seem to be in good health."

He walked so fast that she couldn't catch up with him unless she jogged.

"That's right. I was an engineer in the army and I have excellent physical fitness." The old man looked proud.

Ning Xi actually noticed from the way he walked that he came from the army, and even though he is retired now, his temperament is different from that of ordinary people.

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect that you were a soldier before. My dad was also a soldier and he even went to the battlefield, but he has..." Ning Xi's eyes were red and she sobbed:

"So, I respect soldiers the most and I've always wanted to join the army to serve my country. Uncle, do you know when the conscription is this year?"
