Are there any age restrictions?
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, asked, "In our whole family, only he and Yan Jiecheng have jobs. If we send the others to the countryside, we'll be in big trouble."
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai glanced at the notice again: "It only says that you must be at least sixteen years old, but it doesn't say what the maximum age is. However, I estimate it should not exceed thirty."
The "Down to the Countryside Movement" involved going to remote areas to do manual labor such as land reclamation and farming. Young and strong men were always given priority for these jobs.
Hearing this, Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief.
No one in their family meets the requirements yet, but it's hard to say how long this will last. They need to work on their relationship in the future so that Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang can also have legitimate jobs.
Otherwise, if they are sent to remote areas to work in the countryside, it is unknown when they will return or even if they will be able to return at all.
So even after Yi Zhonghai announced the end of the conference, many people were still standing in the Intermediate People's Court and had not left.
They were all talking about going to the countryside. Families with young people of marriageable age started looking for connections to get them jobs. Some were very excited, thinking that there was nothing to do in Beijing, so going to build the country was a good idea. They believed that there was much to be done in the vast countryside and that they might make a name for themselves.
"Dad, please find a way to arrange a formal job for me. Without a job, I will not only have to go to the countryside, but I will also have no way to go to Lou Xiao'e."
Liu Guangqi was extremely anxious, and after returning home, he urged Liu Haizhong to come up with a solution.
Lou Xiao'e's image was deeply imprinted in Liu Guangqi's mind. He was extremely satisfied with not only her as a person, but also with her family.
No wonder Xu Damao was so persistent back then; who wouldn't be tempted by such offers?
At this point, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but think of offering incense to Jia Dongxu.
If Jia Dongxu hadn't intervened to deal with Xu Damao, Xu Damao wouldn't have married Hou Guifang.
"What's the rush? Do you think you can arrange work just by being anxious?"
Liu Haizhong glared at Liu Guangqi with annoyance. Liu Guangqi was doing odd jobs and could only earn a little money each month. He had wanted Liu Guangqi to have a stable job for a long time, but a job doesn't just come easily.
"Hey, it's all your fault! We should have gritted our teeth and bought the workstations when Jia Dongxu was selling them!" Liu Guangqi started rambling in a panic, even daring to blame Liu Haizhong.
Hearing this, Liu Hai felt even more annoyed.
"You're still complaining? Come here..."
As he spoke, Liu Haizhong unbuckled his belt.
Liu Haizhong was very disappointed by Liu Guangqi's failed blind date today. He felt that Liu Guangqi was not good enough, which was why he failed to catch Lou Xiao'e's eye.
Just as he was getting angry at Yi Zhonghai during the conference and was wondering where to vent his frustration, Liu Guangqi walked right into his room.
"Dad, what are you trying to do!"
Seeing Liu Haizhong's posture of "a father seeing his son is still alive, and pulling out seven wolves," Liu Guangqi knew he was about to get a beating.
"What are you going to do? Tell me what I'm going to do!"
"Dad, please... please don't hit my face!"
Liu Guangqi knew he couldn't avoid the beating, so he obediently squatted down with his hands on his head.
This way you can avoid getting your face slapped by your bangs!
His face was the source of his confidence in pursuing Lou Xiao'e!
Meanwhile, back home, Jia Zhangshi was pacing anxiously.
"Oh dear, what should we do!"
"Why would anyone send people to the countryside? What's so great about those wretched rural areas? It's just a waste of time!"
Listening to Jia Zhangshi's complaints, Qin Huairu asked in confusion, "Why are you in such a hurry? This has nothing to do with us."
To be eligible to go to the countryside, one must be at least sixteen years old.
The family of three—a middle-aged woman, a pregnant woman, and a little boy—none of them matched!
"Long hair, short on brains!"
Jia Zhangshi glared fiercely at Qin Huairu with her triangular eyes!
"This kind of thing can't be resolved in just one or two visits. Bang Geng may be young now, but he'll grow up. What if it's still not over by the time he's sixteen?"
"My precious grandson won't go to those godforsaken places!"
Ouch?
Qin Huairu raised an eyebrow in surprise.
It's surprising that Jia Zhangshi is already worrying about the sticky rice cakes so early, even though there are still more than ten years to go!
"There's still plenty of time!"
Qin Huairu replied nonchalantly.
But Jia Zhangshi doesn't think so. Now that Old Jia is gone and Jia Dongxu is dead, her only hope is the future of Bang Geng.
If Bang Geng is sent to the countryside, who will take care of her in her old age?
Hoping for Qin Huairu's help?
Jia Zhangshi felt that given the relationship between her and her mother-in-law, the probability of relying on Qin Huairu to support her in her old age was about the same as relying on Xu Damao.
If it weren't for the fact that she could still make money by pulling a manure cart, Qin Huairu would have run away with Bang Geng long ago.
no!
We must prepare in advance and help Bang Geng solve this problem as early as possible.
If only Jia Dongxu hadn't sold his workspace at home.
Madam Jia originally wanted to scold Qin Huairu for selling the workstations, but Qin Huairu wasn't in the courtyard when Jia Dongxu sold the workstations.
So there's no excuse to curse.
"Who did we sell our workstation at the steel rolling mill to?" Jia Zhangshi asked abruptly.
"Old Wang's house in the front yard."
Qin Huairu retorted.
She didn't understand why Jia Zhangshi was asking this. The workstation had been sold by Jia Dongxu for 749 yuan. Could Jia Zhangshi possibly get it back?
Even if the Wang family is willing to give them the workstation, they still have to return the money, right?
The Jia family simply cannot afford that much money right now.
"That damned Old Wang! I've always thought his family was no good, how dare they scheme against our workstations while I was away!"
Madam Jia muttered a few curses, then patted Banggeng's head: "My dear grandson, you must be filial to your grandmother from now on!"
"Yes, be a good son to your grandmother!"
Banggeng impatiently slapped Jia Zhangshi's hand away, then continued pushing the chair and playing.
Qin Huairu thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, after Jia Zhangshi finished picking up the vegetable leaves in the evening, she ran into Old Wang from the front yard in the alley.
"Pah, you're a piece of trash!"
Jia Zhangshi spat directly at Old Wang in the front yard.
Old Wang from the front yard felt that Jia Zhangshi was acting strangely: "No, when did I offend you?"
He never missed a single installment payment; he would send his salary to Qin Huairu as soon as he received it.
"You heartless bastard! You schemed to take our workstations while I was away! How could you be so shameless!" Jia Zhangshi cursed viciously.
If my family hadn't sold me this workstation, would I need to haul manure or pick up rotten leaves at the market?
Jia Zhangshi certainly wouldn't scold Jia Dongxu who was hanging on the wall, so she vented her dissatisfaction on Old Wang in the front yard.
“How is this a scheme!” Old Wang from the front yard felt wronged: “It was your son who auctioned off the workstations in the yard, saying that if I didn’t have enough money, I could pay in installments. I haven’t been late on paying a single penny.”
