Chapter 4 Signing up for rural service



When Dong Xiulan heard that Lin Qing had signed up to go to the countryside, she couldn't help but lower her head and wipe away her tears.

Lin Jianguo lit a cigarette with trembling hands, seemingly lost in thought.

"Qingqing, didn't we agree that your brother would go to the countryside? Why did you sign up by yourself again? Where did you sign up? Your brother will sign up tomorrow and go to the countryside with you."

Lin Yunfeng looked at his younger sister with heartache and said, "How can my delicate little sister endure going to the countryside? I'd better go with her! Otherwise, I'll be too worried!"

"Third brother, it's alright. I can manage on my own. I don't need you to come with me to the countryside."

“I’ve already found out that in Heilongjiang Province, you only need to plant one crop a year, and the winter is a rest period for most of the year.”

"It's just a bit cold, but every household there has a heated kang (a traditional heated bed), so you don't have to go out in winter or go to work. It's much better than the city!"

"It's so great that I only have to work for a few months each year and then I can rest all winter! And I've already decided that I'll go cut pig feed then, it's not hard work! It's just that my parents and third brother will have to work hard to earn money to help me out!"

Although she had only met her third brother today and wasn't particularly close to him yet, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a little touched by his words...

"You silly girl, how much have you eaten? How come it's considered a good thing when it ends up in your mouth?"

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Dong Xiulan couldn't help but speak up.

"Isn't that a good thing? I'm going there to relax. I don't want to work in the city at all. The countryside is so nice. I can't wait to go there."

Lin Qing pouted as she spoke, then tugged at Dong Xiulan's arm and said coquettishly.

She could tell that the original owner was very pampered at home, and in order to ease her family's worries, Lin Qing could only try her best to comfort them.

"Okay, if Qingqing doesn't want to go to work, then she doesn't have to. We'll support her."

Dong Xiulan patted her daughter's head affectionately and said, "I know my daughter is just trying to put your mind at ease. Going to the countryside isn't as good as she makes it out to be! Otherwise, so many people wouldn't be unwilling to go to the countryside."

“Since you’ve already signed up, you have no choice but to go! Don’t work too hard in the countryside! Rest when you can! Don’t worry about not having enough work points! Your parents and your third brother all have jobs, we can support you without any problem! Wait two years! Dad will find a way to help you go back to the city.”

After listening to his wife and daughter, Lin Jianguo stubbed out his cigarette and sighed helplessly.
