Chapter 41: It May Be Difficult, But Hold On to Hope (shuhaige.net)



Fu Weidong looked at Fan Xiaofan with bright eyes, thinking that his sister was simply amazing.

His eyes seemed to glow.

"It just so happens that I'm also going to the city tomorrow to pick up the new educated youth. I'll take you there on the way."

Uncle Niu pondered to himself, thinking that this was the only thing he could help with.

When he visited his daughter in the city, Niu Xiaohua repeatedly told him to take good care of Fan Xiaofan in the village. Thanks to the good things she left behind last time, his daughter gave them to her son-in-law to use for favors, and now he has a slightly easier job. He no longer has to go down into the mine all day, and his daughter no longer has to worry about being pregnant all the time.

The son-in-law's family relies entirely on his salary. His in-laws only look at the money in their hands, never considering that it was earned with their lives, while their daughter lives in constant fear.

Factory manager Fang from the textile factory actually offered to send a car to pick up Fan Xiaofan, but President Xu advised, "This child is still young, like a seedling. We must protect her and not let her be exposed too early."

Even with those machines from before, the things Fan Xiaofan resolved were only known to those present that day; they weren't publicized.

Factory Director Fang had mentioned Xiao Fan to the people from Country D before, and afterwards, President Xu grabbed him and gave him a stern lecture.

She got into the factory through President Xu's connections; compared to the others, she was essentially an outsider...

Well, Fan Xiaofan didn't know what to say when she learned that she, a perfectly capable person, had now become a nepotism hire. However, she knew that President Xu was doing it for her own good.

She is still young and inexperienced; before she grows up, she should learn to protect herself.

Therefore, the car service is naturally gone, and now that Uncle Niu has brought this up, it's a great thing for Fan Xiaofan.

"Sent-down youth?"

Fan Xiaofan was quite curious. She had also learned about the current trend of educated youth going to the countryside from President Xu. President Xu had said that she might have to go down to the countryside after returning to Beidu, and he had told her that she must choose their place when the time came.

Li Dafu's dark, thin face was now filled with worry and bitterness. The villagers themselves couldn't even get enough to eat, and now the higher-ups were sending people down to their villages…

How can I not worry?

There might be some way they need to support the work.

Headache, headache.

Old Li isn't naive; he knows what city kids can do in the countryside. The most important thing in the village is the crops in the fields. If city kids can't do those kinds of work, it's hard for them not to be a burden.

Li Dafu nodded: "They were assigned from above. Our Xiangyang brigade has three men and two women. I hope they are good kids. I'm afraid of the troublemakers."

I hope the city kid can adapt to life in the village and doesn't cause any trouble.

Seeing the village chief's worried expression, Fan Xiaofan sighed inwardly. She couldn't tell Li Dafu that he would have plenty of worries to come; this was just the beginning of the educated youth going to the countryside, and there was still a long way to go...

With no jobs and no food in the city, the educated youth going to the countryside was an inevitable product of this era in order to alleviate the pressure on the city.

The meager numbers that once remained in history books about people starving to death have now been replaced by starkly emaciated figures.

The country's productivity is too low at present. It has just emerged from the devastation and everything needs to be rebuilt. Although we have the ambition of a prosperous and strong country, we need to make more efforts to explore the right path. The process may be full of thorns, and we can only move forward step by step with difficulty.

Ke Fan Xiaofan believes that the future may be difficult, but only by holding onto hope can we see the light one day.
