Chapter 9 On the Eve of Going to the Countryside



Now that Song Jin is here, their good days are coming to an end.

But what also made Song Jin worried was that half a month ago, Liu Guizhen had signed Song Jin up for a job in the countryside, and the train was leaving tomorrow afternoon. If she had arrived earlier, she could have found a way to do it, but now there was no way.

But she is not one to suffer any loss. It is morning now and she still has a day to deal with them.

Maybe because I didn't wake her up before, she was lying alone in the room now. The house was quiet and no one should be there.

Song Jin got up and went into the space to eat. He grabbed two meat buns and a carton of milk. Not full yet, he ate two tea eggs. He could still have more. He slurped down the leftover beef noodle soup from last time and finally burped with satisfaction.

After leaving the space, he walked to his parents' room according to his memory. It was now occupied by Liu Guizhen. He walked to the wardrobe, moved it open, and pushed hard on the wall. A secret door opened.

This was designed by the original owner's grandfather to store the things left by the original owner's mother. Song Jin had put the pension he received in there as soon as he got it, keeping only a little over a hundred yuan for himself, which was snatched away by Liu Guizhen early on.

Afterward, Liu Guizhen and her family continued to search for the pension and the house deed. Song Jin refused to give in, no matter how severely she was beaten. She knew that if she lost both her money and her house, she would be unable to survive. More importantly, the contents of the darkroom must not be seen by anyone.

The original owner was afraid that if he was seen, he would attract the Red Sleeves Soldiers, but Song Jin knew that those were all treasures.

After entering, he put more than 3,000 yuan in cash, pension, the original cash in the house, bills, house deeds, and a passbook with 6,000 yuan in it into the space.

I looked at the other boxes inside. There were more than twenty boxes in total. Except for three boxes of gold and two boxes of Yuan Datou, the rest were all antique calligraphy and paintings, gold head ornaments, jadeite, etc.

Song Jin didn't have time to examine them carefully before putting them all into his memory. He went out and searched the room again. Finally, he found a small cloth bag under the bed. When he opened it, he found a pile of banknotes. He put them into his memory without counting them.

Then he started searching room by room, and finally found a total of 326.57 yuan, three 200 grams of grain coupons, one half-jin of meat coupon, and the rest were non-staple food coupons.

This family seems to be quite extraordinary. Li Qiang only earns 22 yuan a month at the towel factory, and Li Ming earns 14 yuan a month, yet they managed to save so much in just a few months.

Now all of it has gone into Song Jin’s small treasury.

I checked my watch. It was ten o'clock, and still no one was home. Time waits for no one. They should leave it tonight to clean up. It's important to get down to business first.

Song Jin smeared makeup all over her face and body, then found her makeup space and applied thick eyebrows. She looked in the mirror, and her original appearance was almost unrecognizable. She grabbed her newly found household registration booklet and left the house, heading straight to the street office where the educated youth were registered for going to the countryside.

"Hello comrade, I'm here to sign up to go to the countryside."

The staff were a little excited. This year, there were very few comrades who volunteered to go to the countryside. Although door-to-door mobilization was effective, who would be willing to see those dejected faces?

"Okay, comrade, please fill out this registration form first."

As he said this, he handed the watch in his hand to Song Jin.

Song Jin quickly took out the household registration booklet and filled it out, registering Li Xue.

"By the way, comrade, I've always wanted to visit the frontiers of our motherland. I hope that when arranging a place for me, I can be given priority consideration in the frontiers, grasslands, and the northernmost regions. Thank you, comrade."

The staff all wanted to give a thumbs up. This comrade has such a high level of awareness. No one wants to go to these places, and those who are arranged to go are all cursing and crying.

"No problem, comrade. It just so happens that there are two groups leaving tomorrow, one of which is going to the Southern Xinjiang Ranch. I'll make the arrangements right away. We'll personally deliver the notice to your door this afternoon. Here's the 60 yuan subsidy for going to the countryside, keep it."

Song Jin took the money and left the Youth League Office.

Next up, the post office.

He found the contact information left by the military leader and called the unit directly. After verifying his identity and being transferred through various levels, Song Jin finally spoke to the leader.

Song Jin choked up and told the army leader about his experiences in the past six months, and hung up the phone while the leader tried to comfort him while suppressing his anger.

Next, just wait and see.
