Chapter 14: On the Eve of Going to the Countryside (Part 2)
After Lu Xiaoxiao put the book away, she left the bookstore. As she walked, she wondered if she would stay in Beijing next. If not, where else could she go?
Lu Xiaoxiao was very confused now. She suddenly saw the state-owned restaurant in front of her. It was almost time for lunch. There is a saying that goes, "There is nothing that can't be solved by a barbecue. If there is, then have two barbecues."
There is no barbecue in this day and age, so it should be the same if you eat in a state-owned restaurant instead!
She entered the state-owned restaurant and saw that there was quite a lot of food available today, so she ordered a serving of dumplings and a portion of braised pork, spending 2 yuan and a pound of meat coupons.
She thought these dishes seemed cheap, but if calculated according to the consumption level of that era, they were quite luxurious.
After eating, Lu Xiaoxiao saw the remaining meat and dumplings, and took out a lunch box from the space under the cover of a cloth bag and put them all in. Thinking of what happened before, although I am not in such a bad mood now, I don’t want to continue walking outside.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly entered the space. She planned to calm down and then think about what to do next.
Suddenly, Lu Xiaoxiao had an idea. Wasn't this the era when people were going to the countryside to support national construction? She could go to the countryside. Although the conditions in the countryside were worse than those in the city, it was much safer. If she encountered any problems with her current small body, she would probably be finished.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know what conditions were required to go to the countryside now. Before her rebirth, she knew that in this era every family had to send at least one child to the countryside. If other children were unemployed and had graduated, they also had to go to the countryside. There was no clear age requirement. Think about it, she is eight years old now, has no education and no job, and she is the only one left in the family. Does that meet the requirements for going to the countryside?
It seems that she needs to go to the place responsible for this matter in the afternoon to understand the situation in detail so that she can arrange the next things.
She checked the time and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, so it was almost time for her to go out, so she locked the door and walked towards the office.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the location, she saw a woman in military green clothes sitting at the table writing something. She walked up to her and asked, "Aunt, if I want to go to the countryside, do I have to go here to handle it?"
The other person looked up and was surprised to see her, then said, "Whose child are you? This is not a place to play, go home quickly."
Seeing the other party say this, she could only helplessly reply: "Aunt, I am the only one left in my family. My parents have sacrificed their lives. I want to contribute to the country like my parents. I know I am still young, but I want to go to the countryside to support construction."
When the other party heard her say this, he showed a distressed expression and said, "As expected of the child of two good comrades, you have a high level of awareness. But have you really decided? Life in the countryside is much harder than here. You are still young and I am afraid you can't bear it. Why don't you wait two years until you grow up and come here? Auntie will definitely process it for you."
Lu Xiaoxiao thought that she didn't know if she would be harmed like the original owner's parents in two years, but she didn't show it on her face, and said firmly: "Aunt, I'm not afraid of hard work. I want to be a useful person to the country like my parents, but I don't know what the requirements are for going to the countryside."
Through the other party's introduction, I understand that the control over going to the countryside is not as strict as it was later. As long as you are willing to go to the countryside, you can go, and the state will also subsidize you for settling-in expenses.
Lu Xiaoxiao understood that she met the conditions for going to the countryside, so she filled out the form with the help of her aunt and chose the Shengli Production Brigade in Tianshui Township, Northeast China, because the land in Northeast China was fertile and the products were abundant, so the conditions couldn't be too bad! Later, she just wanted to say to herself at this moment, "Child, you are still too naive."
Huahua has seen all the recommendation votes you have given her. Thank you for your support. Huahua will work hard to update more.
