Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Going to the Youth Office
Wang Lai Di then praised her in-laws, handed the things prepared for the two grandsons to Ye Xing, and asked the two grandsons many questions with concern.
Such as whether there are enough diapers, whether the younger grandson has enough milk, whether the older grandson can walk steadily, etc.
It can be seen that Wang Lai Di and Ye Xing, mother and daughter, are very happy that Ye Xing can give birth to two sons. Considering that the current national family planning policy has not yet been implemented and the old customs of having many sons and daughters and favoring boys over girls are still difficult to avoid, having two children in three years can make many men and women envious.
Don’t they know that giving birth is harmful to the mother’s health?
Not necessarily. Any woman who has given birth to a child will understand. The ancients also said that giving birth is like going through the gates of hell.
But even in the eyes of Wang Lai Di, who loves her daughter, this is a "worthwhile" thing. In order to give birth to a son, she also gave birth to three children, Ye Lan, Ye Yu and Ye Baoguo, in succession. It was even more difficult for her to give birth to Ye Weiguo because of her old age.
I can only say that this is the social atmosphere nowadays.
Because of this, some of the role models of women who hold up half the sky in this era are even more admirable. They allow women to stand up straight and be human beings, and to fight for new horizons in a limited space.
Ye Yu lowered her eyes and thought deeply. Spatial abilities were not healing abilities or wood-related abilities. She had never studied medicine and at most knew some knowledge of pharmacy or mutant botany. She could not treat Ye's mother, Ye Xing, without anyone noticing. She hoped that after Ye Xing had two sons, she would not give birth to children frequently.
Ye Yu heard that the content of their conversation was boring and contained many unscientific things, but they talked with great interest, and even Ye Lan pricked up her ears.
Seriously?
Ye Yu gave Ye Lan a look and said, "Girl, you are only 19 years old and your maternal love is already overflowing?"
Ye Lan was also very surprised that Ye Yu had no interest in these things. She whispered to her, "It's okay to listen a little. You might need it in the future."
Ye Yu shuddered, respectful but not polite.
After thinking for a moment, he whispered back: "Frequent childbirth is bad for your health."
She also respects the birth of new life, but the premise is that the new life does not shorten the lives of the few people she protects. Unfortunately, her two nephews were blacklisted because of this. She is so cold-blooded, ruthless and unreasonable.
What made Ye Yu feel a little relieved was that Ye Lan and Wang Lai Di reacted differently, or in other words, Ye Lan knew how to love herself more. She generally would not do anything that would harm herself after weighing the interests. Now she looked at Ye Xing and thought she was a little silly.
But having a child doesn't seem to be a one-person job.
Ye Yu: “…”
Why not have a biology class in the evening?
That night, Ye Lan was so embarrassed that she hid under the quilt and refused to come out. She really didn't understand where Ye Yu, who had no interest in marriage or children, got such embarrassing knowledge and didn't even blush when she talked about it.
Ye Yu: "Are you embarrassed? This is physiology! Girls can better protect themselves if they understand it."
"...Okay, Science," Ye Lan said with difficulty, "Don't tell others about this in the future."
Ye Yu:
...After forty or fifty years, even an elementary school student in the future will know this common sense.
This is a story for later.
At this time, Ye Yu and the other three were walking towards the administrative building under the leadership of Ye Xing.
During the journey, we passed by many factories.
The electromechanical plant is a key state-owned unit. There is only one such plant in Yanjing City. It is incomparable to the machinery factory. It covers a larger area, has more factory buildings, and has more confidential laboratories and workshops that need to be kept confidential.
Ye Yu had no intention of exploring, and he had never worked in a factory before the apocalypse in his previous life, but he had seen office workers before the apocalypse, and had even sneaked in because of a part-time job.
Comparing the timeline vertically, this era was indeed short of supplies and had backward technology.
But people's mental state is definitely incomparable to that decades later, and these energetic workers have also laid a solid foundation for the strong future of Yeguo.
Ye Xing is an officer in the administrative department, mainly responsible for personnel matters. However, in this era, recruitment positions are limited and recruitment is rare, so her workload is very small. Her daily work mainly involves organizing documents. The busiest time is at the end of the year when she is seconded to the finance department to help. Because she is at the deputy cadre level, her salary is higher than Wang Lai Di's.
With such a high salary and leisurely life, it’s no wonder that many people envy it.
Ye Lan deeply regretted not taking the technical secondary school entrance exam. If she had, she would have graduated this year and maybe been assigned to a factory, and would not have faced the current dilemma.
Ye Yu: "Why are you looking at me? It's not me who asked you to go to high school."
It seemed like the situation was the other way around back then. Ye Yu wanted to apply to a technical secondary school, and Ye Lan and Ye Yu agreed to take the college entrance exam together.
Thinking of this, Ye Lan smiled awkwardly.
Ye Yu didn't care about this at all. The agreement she made back then was her own choice. She was just using this as a reminder: "Don't throw away the textbook content. Who knows, we might be able to fulfill this agreement together!"
In 10 years you will only be 29 years old, in the prime of your youth, so it will be a good idea for you to go to university.
"Okay, I'll take the exam when married people are allowed to do so." Ye Lan didn't know she would have to wait for 10 years, so she agreed in one breath.
"What are you talking about? Are you thirsty? Drink some water."
There weren't many people in the office. After greeting each other, several people sat down near Ye Xing's desk. Ye Xing poured two enamel cups of water. One of the office's thermos was broken and didn't keep the water warm very well, but sometimes the temperature was just right for drinking.
"Thank you, sis."
Ye Yu took it and drank slowly.
When Ye Xingyin first saw the reborn Ye Yu, her feelings were not very clear. But Wang Lai Di and Ye Lan were very surprised. When did San Ya eat sweet potatoes and pumpkins like a feast in a state-owned restaurant, and even the water she drank was not ordinary?
How to describe it?
Especially... cherish?
In short, they felt that everything Ye Yu ate and drank tasted particularly good, and they wanted to eat and drink it too. The problem was that it was just ordinary warm boiled water with no sugar added. It tasted like top-grade malted milk.
Ye Yu was unaware of Wang Lai Di and Ye Lan's confusion. Apart from her special abilities, she did not try to hide herself in any special way. She was herself and just traveled to the future. Her essence had not changed. Her parents and sisters would also rationalize other small details themselves.
Ye Yu personally told Ye Xing about his plan to sign up to go to the countryside, and Ye Xing looked a little surprised.
To be honest, when Ye Xing saw Wang Lai Di and the other three, she thought it was Ye Lan and Ye Yu who wanted to inquire about the recruitment of workers at the electromechanical factory.
There was really no way around it. Even though she was an administrative officer in charge of personnel, she couldn't add jobs to the electromechanical factory.
Even the factory director is not allowed to do so. He used to be able to do so, but now there is chaos. If he dares to abuse his power for personal gain, someone will go to the GW Association tomorrow to report him for petty bourgeoisie, and the factory director's position will be over that day.
Ye Xing had already rejected many people's inquiries, and she was still a little embarrassed to reject her own sister. She spent almost the whole morning thinking about the wording, but did not use it.
Ye Lan is getting married?
Ye Yu is going to the countryside?
She could understand Ye Lan's plan to get married, but Ye Yu going to the countryside? "She's not even eighteen yet, is she?"
Ye Yu explained his excuse again.
As the officer in charge of personnel, Ye Xing had a lot of experience in this area and quickly understood why. Also, because he had come into contact with many young family members of employees who attempted to enter the factory during this period, he also had some understanding of the educated youth going to the countryside.
"Those who sign up for the Youth League Office now are generally those who are actively involved in rural construction. They are set up as role models, and some have even been featured in newspapers. Those who sign up first do have priority rights and responsibilities."
Ye Yu shook his head: "It's okay to be in the newspaper as a role model, but I'm not a role model, and I can't compete with those truly outstanding people. I just want to choose a brigade with mountains and water, even close to the sea."
Since Ye Lan did not go to the countryside, she was not necessarily obsessed with staying near the old city.
I whispered to myself: Going to the south is not bad either, I can go out to sea to catch seafood. There are no mutated tentacle monsters in the sea of this world except sea snakes and great white sharks, right?
"What do you mean by the sea?" Wang Lai Di almost jumped up to retort, scolding Ye Yu, "You're so delicate and tender that you'll get sunburned if you go there! I'd choose a place near Yanjing to live in the countryside. It would be best to go to Wangjiagou in Pingquan Commune, where my mother's family is. Your grandparents and uncles can also take care of you a little."
Ye Lan also nodded repeatedly.
"I know several people from the Youth League Office through work, but not many people have signed up on their own initiative. You can just pick an address and go visit them and register. But," Ye Xing frowned and changed her tone, "San Ya isn't even eighteen yet. She can stay at home for another year. Things are so chaotic right now, and who knows what will happen next year. It's not impossible that she won't have to go to the countryside."
Ye Yu had studied this period of history in the future, and no one understood the general trend better than her. She shook her head and said, "The city is getting increasingly chaotic now, with people wearing red armbands everywhere. The countryside is safer, and choosing early gives us more options."
Ye Xing said that the Youth League Office was not far from the Mechanical and Electrical Factory, just four and a half blocks away. She didn't have much work to do today, so she could take a leave in the morning and someone could take her to register in person.
At the last moment, not only Ye Xing, but also Wang Lai Di was a little conflicted: "Should we wait a little longer?"
But Ye Yu was the most determined one, and no one could persuade her. She thanked Ye Xing for her leave and resolutely went to the Youth League Office four and a half blocks away from the Mechanical and Electrical Factory.
What can Wang Lai Di, Ye Xing and Ye Lan do?
I had no choice but to follow.
The Youth League Office is extremely busy. It’s not that there are too many people here. On the contrary, after the wave of active registration has passed, fewer and fewer people are signing up. They are also worried about how to mobilize the remaining educated youth. There is only a lot of work to do.
Ye Xing knew several staff members of the Youth League Office, one of whom was at a management level. They chatted tacitly for a while, and the brigade to which Ye Yu would be assigned was basically confirmed. After discussing it with Pingquan Commune, it would not be difficult to be assigned to Wangjiagou.
Fortunately, it was only 1966, and the first large-scale educated youth went to the countryside. Many regulations were still unclear, but the higher authorities responded positively to the policy, and the rural areas were relatively welcoming to the educated youth. The educated youth had the right to choose freely. After this year, compulsory enforcement had become the general trend.
Ye Yu was successfully registered and was praised by the Youth League Office staff for his beautiful and elegant handwriting.
