The big wheel cleaned up the traces at the scene, and Jiang Yan returned with a full load under the cover of night.
Everyone in the Shi family was sleeping soundly. She returned to her own little house and looked at everything in the house that was both strange and familiar. She thought that she would probably never come back again.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yan packed a small bag and left the Shi family.
She left quietly, taking away all the property of the Shi family. The Shi family members, who were still in a dream, did not notice anything unusual.
Smoke from cooking fires rose in the alleys, and the smell of fireworks drifted everywhere.
Aunt Zhao from next door got up to pour out the dirty water and happened to see Jiang Yan walking out with a small bag.
"Xiao Jiang, so early?"
In the past, the original owner would just say "hmm" and then pass by Aunt Zhao.
But Jiang Yan is not dumb, "Aunt Zhao, I'm going to the countryside today."
"Oh, going to the countryside? Your job..." Aunt Zhao looked angry, "Did you give it to Shi Yuehua?"
"No, I sold my job. Auntie, I...my family didn't prepare anything for me. What would I eat and drink when I go to the countryside? If I sell my job, at least I can get some food and a thicker quilt."
Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh and raised her voice by two degrees, "What did you say? You went to the countryside and your own mother didn't prepare anything for you?"
Jiang Yan smiled bitterly, opened her small bag and showed it to Aunt Zhao, "Just these few tattered clothes." She bit her lip, "I don't have any money, no food coupons. She signed up for me to go to the countryside without telling me, and even put the subsidy money in her own pocket. I..."
Her eyes turned red and tears seemed about to fall.
"Oh, damn, what a beast!" Aunt Zhao was heartbroken. "You did the right thing. Your mother has been blinded by greed. She doesn't care about your life or death. You have to take care of yourself. Good boy, wait. Aunt will give you some money and some food coupons. Wait."
Aunt Zhao turned around and ran to the yard, but when she came out with the money and tickets, Jiang Yan was no longer at the door.
"This child..." He was afraid of causing trouble for her.
The more Aunt Zhao thought about it, the angrier she became, and she spat fiercely at the Shi family.
^^^^^^
The door of the Shi family was banged loudly, and someone outside was shouting, "Open the door, open the door."
The noise was so loud, as if something big had happened.
All the neighbors who didn't have to go to work came out to watch the fun.
"What's going on?"
"Hey, isn't this a comrade from the Youth Office? Is anyone from the Shi family going to the countryside?"
"I saw Xiao Jiang leaving with a small bag this morning. Should she be getting on the train now?"
Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things.
Shi Dalei was woken up. He opened his eyes drowsily and found that it was bright outside. He had overslept.
He quickly pushed Yang Hongying and said, "Here it comes, get up quickly."
Yang Hongying sat up suddenly and slapped her forehead. She almost forgot something important. They must have been too excited last night and slept too late.
The couple quickly put on their clothes, but a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes at the same time.
Here we come!
The highlight is coming.
The two of them dressed neatly and hurried to open the door.
The people from the Youth League Office outside the door were already getting impatient. When they saw Shi Dalei and Yang Hongying, Li Haizhen's eyes swept over them like a searchlight, as if the two had done something shameful.
As a woman, Yang Hongying understood the meaning of her eyes very well. Her face turned red, thinking that she was not young anymore, how could she do such things in broad daylight?
"Comrade, what are you doing..."
Shi Dalei has an honest look, but he looks confused and his eyes are full of doubts, which is indeed very deceptive.
"Is this Shi Yuehua's home?"
Yuehua? Are they here to look for Yuehua?
Shi Dalei's head buzzed. Why was he asking about his daughter out of the blue?
Shouldn’t you ask Jiang Yan?
He was afraid that others would notice something, so he had to nod his head and said, "Yes, I am her father. Comrade, are you looking for my daughter?" You're not looking for someone else?
"Yes, where are the Shiyuehua people?"
Yang Hongying also realized that something was wrong. Why did the people from the Youth League Office come instead of asking Jiang Yan, but kept asking Shi Yuehua?
"What do you want to talk to Yuehua about?" Yang Hongying's brows were furrowed like a pimple. "Our Yuehua has a job and will go to the hospital to work next week. She is not under the jurisdiction of your Youth Office. If you want to find someone, you should look for Jiang Yan, she has gone to the countryside."
"Oh, yes, yes." Shi Dalei also said quickly: "Is there any misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstanding? Your daughter went to the Youth League Office to register herself, Shi Yuehua, how could she be wrong?"
Li Haizhen pointed to the column with Shi Yuehua's name on it and said, "You've received the subsidy for going to the countryside, but you don't want to go. What do you mean? Are you trying to avoid going to the countryside and don't want to support construction?"
The people who came with Li Haizhen were all big and strong men. They came for no other reason than to enforce the order.
There are too many people who are avoiding going to the countryside now. It is hard to go to the countryside, doing farm work to earn work points, and those with poor health will lose half their lives. The food in the countryside is not good, and the physical work is heavy. Which educated youth who comes back is not dark and thin, looking malnourished?
But not wanting to go to the countryside means there is something wrong with one's thinking, especially for someone like Shi Yuehua who meets the policy requirements but signed up but didn't go. The problem is even more serious.
"Hand him over immediately."
"Hand it over!"
"Hand it over!"
Yang Hongying's face was as white as a piece of paper. She glanced at Shi Dalei and had a bad feeling in her heart.
Could it be that that damn girl Jiang Yan signed Shi Yuehua up to go to the countryside in order to get revenge on them?
