Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Go to the Youth Office
Wang Lai Di then praised her in-laws a bit, handed the things prepared for her two grandsons to Ye Xing, and asked them many questions with concern.
Such as whether there are enough diapers, whether the younger grandson has enough milk, whether the older grandson walks steadily, etc.
It can be seen that Wang Lai Di and Ye Xing are both very happy that Ye Xing can give birth to two sons. Considering the current national family planning policy which has not yet been implemented and still emphasizes having many sons and daughters and favoring boys over girls, it is difficult to avoid the old customs and practices. Having two children in three years can make many men and women envious.
Don’t they know that giving birth will harm the mother’s health?
Not necessarily. Any woman who has given birth to a child will understand that the ancients also said that giving birth to a child is like entering 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 have a son, she also gave birth to Ye Lan, Ye Yu, Ye Baoguo three children in succession. It was even more difficult to give birth to Ye Weiguo because of her old age.
I can only say that this is the social trend nowadays.
Because of this, some 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. Space power is not a healing power or a wood power. She has never studied medicine. At most, she knows some knowledge of pharmacology or mutant botany. She cannot treat Ye's mother Ye Xing without anyone noticing. She hopes that after Ye Xing has two sons, she will not give birth to children so frequently.
Ye Yu thought the content of their conversation was boring and there was a lot of unscientific stuff in it, but they were talking 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 doesn't matter if you listen to them. You may find them useful in the future."
Ye Yu shuddered, respectful but not yet grateful.
After thinking for a while, he whispered back: "Having children frequently is not good for your health."
She also respected the birth of new life, but the premise was that the new life would not harm the lives of the few people she protected. Unfortunately, her two nephews were put on the blacklist because of this. She was 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 would generally not do anything that would harm herself after weighing the benefits. Now she thought Ye Xing was a little silly.
But having a child doesn't seem to be a one-person thing.
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 at all, got such embarrassing knowledge and didn't even blush when talking about it.
Ye Yu: "Are you embarrassed? This is biological science! Girls can protect themselves better if they understand it."
"...Okay, Ke Xue," Ye Lan said with difficulty, "Don't tell other people about this in the future."
Elm leaves:
...After forty or fifty years, even an elementary school student will know this common sense.
This is a story for later.
At this time, Ye Yu and the other two were walking towards the administrative building under the leadership of Ye Xing.
During the trip, we passed by several factories.
The Mechanical and Electrical Factory is a key state-owned unit. There is only one such factory in Yanjing City. It is larger than the Machinery Factory, 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 there because of a part-time job.
Comparing the timeline vertically, this era was indeed short of resources and technologically backward.
But the mental state of the people is definitely incomparable to that in a few decades, and these energetic workers have also laid a solid foundation for the strong future of Yeguo.
Ye Xing is a clerk in the administrative department, mainly in charge of personnel matters. However, in this era, there are limited recruiting positions and the number of recruits is small, so her workload is very small. The most daily work she does is to organize data. 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 that of Wang Lai Di.
With such a high salary and leisure time, it’s no wonder that many people are envious of him.
Ye Lan deeply regretted not taking the technical secondary school entrance exam. If she had, she would have graduated this year and maybe she would have been assigned to the factory and would not have encountered the current dilemma.
Ye Yu: "Why are you looking at me? I didn't ask you to go to high school."
It seemed like the situation was the other way around. Ye Yu wanted to go 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 made that year was her own choice. She just used this as a reminder: "Don't lose the textbook content. Who knows, we may be able to fulfill this agreement together!"
In 10 years you will be only 29 years old, in the prime of your youth, and it will be a good thing for you to go to university.
"Okay, I'll take the exam when married people are allowed to do so." Ye Lan agreed in one breath, not knowing that she would have to wait for 10 years.
"What are you talking about? Are you thirsty? Have some water."
There were not many people in the office. After saying hello, several people sat down near Ye Xing's desk. Ye Xing poured two enamel cups of water. One of the thermos in the office was broken and did not keep the water warm very well, but sometimes the temperature was just right for drinking water.
"Thank you, sis."
Ye Yu took it and drank it slowly.
When Ye Xingyin first saw the reborn Ye Yu, her feelings were not very obvious. However, Wang Laidie and Ye Lan were very surprised. They wondered why San Ya ate sweet potatoes and pumpkin like they were a feast in a state-owned hotel, and even drank water in a different way.
How to describe it?
Especially... cherish?
In short, they felt that everything Ye Yu ate and drank tasted particularly good, and they also wanted to eat and drink it, but the problem was that it was just ordinary warm boiled water, without any sugar added? It tasted like premium malted milk.
Ye Yu was unaware of Wang Lai Di and Ye Lan's confusion. Apart from her supernatural powers, 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 be able to rationalize the 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 two, she thought that Ye Lan and Ye Yu wanted to inquire about the recruitment of workers at the mechanical and electrical 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 mechanical and electrical factory.
Even the factory director cannot do this. It was okay for him to be a factory director in the past, but now there is such chaos. If he dares to abuse his power for personal gain, someone will go to the GW meeting tomorrow to report petty bourgeoisie, and the factory director’s position will be over that day.
Ye Xing had already rejected many people's inquiries, so she still felt a little embarrassed to reject her own sisters. She spent almost the entire morning thinking of the wording, but never used 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 18 yet, is she?"
Ye Yu explained his excuse again.
As a person in charge of personnel, Ye Xing had a lot of experience in this area and soon understood why. During this period, she came into contact with many young family members of employees who attempted to enter the factory, and she also learned about the educated youth going to the countryside.
"Those who take the initiative to apply for the Youth League Office are generally active in rural construction. They are set up as role models and some are even reported in newspapers. Those who apply first do have priority and responsibility."
Ye Yu shook his head: "It's okay to be on 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, and it's not impossible to be near the sea."
Since Ye Lan did not go to the countryside, she did not necessarily insist on staying near the old city.
I whispered to myself: It's not bad to go to the south, I can go out to sea to catch seafood. There aren't any mutated tentacle monsters in the ocean 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, and scolded Ye Yu, "You are so delicate and tender, how can you get sunburned there? If I want to go to the countryside, it's good to choose a place near Yanjing. It's best to go to Wangjiagou, Pingquan Commune, where my mother's family is. Your grandma and uncles can also take care of you."
Ye Lan also nodded repeatedly.
"I know a few people from the Youth Educated Office through work, and not many people take the initiative to sign up. Now you can just pick an address and go to them to get acquainted. It's OK. But," Ye Xing frowned and changed her tone, "San Ya is not yet 18 years old. She can stay at home for another year. It's so chaotic now. Who knows, the trend may change next year. It's not impossible that she doesn't need to go to the countryside."
Ye Yu learned about this period of history in the future. No one understood the general trend better than her. She shook her head and said, "The city is getting more and more chaotic now. People with red armbands are everywhere. The countryside is safer. It's better to choose early."
Ye Xing said that the Youth League Office was not far from the Mechanical and Electrical Factory, only four and a half blocks away. She didn't have much work to do today, so she could take a day off in the morning and someone could take her to register in person.
At the last minute, not to mention Ye Xing, Wang Lai Di was also a little confused: "Why don't 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 Educated Youth Office is extremely busy. It's not that there are too many people here. On the contrary, after the wave of active response and registration has passed, the number of people registering has decreased. They are also worried about how to mobilize the remaining educated young people. There are only a lot of things to do.
Ye Xing knew several staff members of the Youth Educated 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 talking to Pingquan Commune, it would not be difficult to be assigned to Wangjiagou.
Fortunately, it is only 1966 and the first large-scale educated youth have gone to the countryside, so many regulations are still unclear. But overall, the higher authorities have actively responded to the policy and the rural areas have been relatively welcoming to the educated youth. The educated youth have the right to choose freely. After this year, compulsory enforcement has become the trend.
Ye Yu was successfully registered and was even praised by the educated youth office staff for his beautiful and elegant handwriting.
