Ren Xiuzhen couldn't understand why, and could only attribute it to the difference in generations. The mental outlook and way of thinking of the people of this era were completely different from hers, who had traveled from the future.
Later generations promoted individualism, egoism, and hedonism, advocating that people prioritize themselves in everything they do, while today's people value collectivism, selfless dedication, and thriftiness. Although there have been countless criticisms of individualism and hedonism since then, in the end, individualism has always prevailed.
Of course, this isn't just a matter of individual transformation; society as a whole is changing. If the collective isn't valued anymore, who's still talking about collectivism? This really can't be blamed on ordinary people.
Ren Xiuzhen came from the future. She was deeply influenced by her growing environment, the education she received, and the various awakening thoughts that were prevalent in the Internet age.
Frankly speaking, she does not possess the spirit of selfless dedication and public service.
Ren Xiuzhen was a little nervous, she was worried that she would not be able to fit into this era.
In other words, she can't stand hardship.
In her previous life, she lived an orderly life. She went to kindergarten at the age of 3, elementary school at the age of 6, then graduated from university and started working. It can be said that her life was smooth and uneventful. The most physical work she did in her life was picking up express deliveries.
The original owner of this world did more housework than her, such as washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, etc. Later, she started working as a temporary worker in a textile factory, and the work she did was not heavy physical labor.
She was really worried that she wouldn't be able to adapt after going to the countryside.
Ren Xiuzhen sighed in her heart.
When she arrived in this world, the original owner was already dead, driven to death by her family. She was 21 years old, having graduated from high school three years prior. She found herself a temporary job, which she couldn't get a permanent position for. It was like cheap labor, but it was still a job; it saved her from having to go to the countryside, and she cherished it.
This summer, the original owner's younger brother graduated from high school and had to go to the countryside because he couldn't find a job. The original owner's parents asked the original owner to give the job to his younger brother and let the original owner go to the countryside or get married. The original owner didn't want to go to the countryside, and she couldn't find a suitable candidate to get married for a while. In anger, she went on a hunger strike in protest and died. Then she came over.
She came through after death.
The way she died was also very funny. She choked to death while eating rice cakes in a convenience store.
It can be said that the death was quite undignified.
Ren Xiuzhen didn't want to think about what would happen after her death. As the only child in the family, her parents would surely be very sad, so she hoped they would be strong. Fortunately, although she was an only child, she had a nephew at her uncle's house whom her father particularly loved, and a nephew and niece at her uncle's and aunt's house whom her mother particularly loved, so they shouldn't be too sad, right?
She closed her eyes and opened them again, and came to this barren era.
She was unwilling to deal with the original owner's relatives, nor was she interested in the job of a temporary worker in a textile factory like the original owner. The key point was that temporary workers could not transfer their household registration, and her household registration was still at home.
She wanted to cut ties with the original owner's family, so she gave up her job and signed up to go to the countryside. However, she didn't give the family any advantage. For a temporary job, she asked the original owner's parents for 500 yuan and made them sign a severance agreement.
Since you prefer boys to girls, just live with your son from now on and don't look for her.
Fortunately, the convenience store where she had the accident came along as a golden finger, and the items could be automatically replenished, so she had no worries about food and drink.
Ren Xiuzhen took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Perhaps this world wasn't exactly the same as the one she'd previously known? After all, the leaders' names were different. Furthermore, if they were truly so poor, would these people be so genuinely happy? The expressions on their faces were incredibly sincere, clearly not fake. Wasn't it said that after a few years of going to the countryside, once people understood the realities of rural life, they wouldn't want to go anymore?
Even if she was really that backward, she would only need to stay here for three years. During these three years, she could study hard and get into a good university. After graduation, she would have no problem finding a job in a government agency or starting a business.
It's only three years, she can hold on! After she gets through this, she will be extremely rich!
Ren Xiuzhen kept cheering herself up.
At this time, thunderous applause broke out in the entire venue. It turned out that the person in charge of the Youth League Office had finished speaking.
Ren Xiuzhen also clapped her hands mechanically. As for what the other party said, she didn't hear anything at all.
The girl sitting next to her asked her, "Which brigade are you going to?"
"Liushutun Brigade."
"Wow!"
The girl exclaimed with an expression of great envy.
Ren Xiuzhen's mood also improved. The girl in front of her had plump cheeks, her collagen was almost bulging out, and her two almond-shaped eyes were sparkling. Both her expression and tone of voice were full of sincerity and innocence, and she was adorable.
Faced with such a face, Ren Xiuzhen was also deeply infected. The messy thoughts in her mind were swept away, and she started chatting with the girl very attentively.
"My name is Ren Xiuzhen, and I'm from Shanghai. What about you?"
"My name is Liu Chengjun, and I'm from Jing City."
"Wow! Are you from the capital?"
Liu Chengjun waved his hand, "Not in the eight districts of the city, but in a remote county."
"Then why don't you go to the countryside?"
"The number of spots is limited, so give it to someone else. I'm in good health, so it's no problem for me to run farther. Good young people have great ambitions, and I want to answer the call and go to where the country needs them most."
Liu Chengjun smiled brightly. Although the reality wasn't quite like that, it was her parents who had orchestrated her to join the team in Qushui County. What did it have to do with her? She was just a good girl who resolutely obeyed the organization's arrangements and went wherever the organization sent her.
She herself doesn't care whether it is Qushui County or not.
Even if it wasn't Qushui County, it wouldn't be a problem. If Qushui County could rise from a humble beginning to a nationally renowned county, other counties should be able to do the same. At worst, she could just be a pioneer, leading everyone in the effort. Qushui County was asking for help from the entire nation, so she could ask for it.
She is the best at applying what she has learned!
Ren Xiuzhen looked at the girl in front of her who looked very young. Not only was she young, she was also small in stature, probably only about 1.5 meters tall. She was still a child.
She couldn't help but feel a little soft and loving in her heart. After all, she was nearly thirty years old in her previous life, and children as old as Liu Chengjun called her aunt.
"You're so far away from home, do you miss it?"
"No. My motherland is my home."
Ren Xiuzhen: “…”
She had to admit that she was shocked by the young people of this era.
"Are you also going to Liushutun to join the queue?"
"No, I'm going to Majiagou. I've made careful inquiries, and it's the most backward area in Qushui County. I'm going there to promote construction and development. The more backward a place is, the greater the room for improvement. I'm sure I'll achieve great things there. Liushutun, where you're going, is the best brigade in Qushui County."
Ren Xiuzhen: “…”
