Chapter 1233 Living in Hometown for a Long Time 9
Xi Bao looked at Zhou Fengchu with a look that was hard to understand, and accused him, "You are lying. You are not a good kid if you are lying. Eggs are more delicious than pickles. How can you like pickles but not eggs?"
"It's goose eggs." Father Lu corrected.
Their family did not raise geese, but the descendants of Grandpa Lu San did. Every household raised a number of geese based on the number of people, so the number was quite large. Of course, each household was not allowed to have more than three chickens, ducks and geese, otherwise it would be capitalism.
Feng Qingxue was not at home, so the food would not have been very good, but Lu's father and the Guancheng brothers did their best to ensure Xibao's diet. All the eggs laid by the three chickens in the house were given to Xibao, and the eggs that others specifically gave to Xibao were also given to Xibao. They often asked Zhang Yuejin to buy some meat and scarce side dishes from the city, which could only be purchased with money instead of tickets.
As a result, Xibao's living standard is not much different from that of her parents.
He worked hard to move the fried goose eggs to Zhou Fengchu's bowl, "Try it if you don't believe me, it must be better than pickles!"
"Okay, okay, grandpa appreciates your filial piety!" Zhou Fengchu picked up a small piece of goose egg with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "Mm, it's delicious, but grandpa likes spicy food, so give the non-spicy one to Xibao."
Xi Bao said, "Let Brother Guan Cheng fry some spicy food tomorrow!"
After dinner, he wrote a letter to Feng Qingxue, while the five old men turned on the radio and listened to the various information conveyed by the radio station. At present, this was the only way for them to know the movements of the outside world.
Upon hearing the instructions about going to the countryside, the four elders, Zhou, Xia, Chen and Ding, looked at each other.
Father Lu didn't find it strange. "Didn't we start the "Send to the Countryside" movement more than a decade ago? But at that time, it was mainly for supporting border areas. Six or seven years ago, or seven or eight years ago, there was talk of relocating urban intellectuals to the countryside. For a while, intellectuals from rural areas all returned to the countryside. After the streamlining, a large part of the urban population was also driven to the countryside. In recent years, there have been serious disturbances. I thought that sooner or later, there would be a day when these troublemaking students could no longer be resettled and they would have to go to the countryside. I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
"How did you come up with this idea?" Ding Guofeng asked.
Zhou Fengchu nodded, thoughtfully.
"So, you think going to the countryside is the only way out?" Chen Anlin asked.
Father Lu hummed, "It's obvious. I've said that the countryside is a vast world where you can do a lot."
At the same time in the evening, Feng Qingxue also saw this instruction in the newspaper brought by Lu Jiang. She knew that the ten-year-long vigorous Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement had officially begun, and the names of the educated youth had been engraved in history from then on.
"Don't let others who have heard about our good relationships or who have some ability use the back door to arrange for their children or relatives' children to work in the Wanglou Brigade just because we are popular or because our Wanglou Brigade has high labor value and good production." After learning the reason why the four old men in the cowshed were demoted to the cowshed, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue looked at each other in bewilderment for a long time. It turned out that so many old people were recruited by them?
