Xu Min handed the items to the comrades from the educated youth office who had come with her, satisfied. "Now that things have been taken care of, we won't keep you from having your meal."
Remember to pack your things and meet at the station the day after tomorrow.
Don't try to come up with any excuses later, otherwise, I wouldn't mind making a trip to your factories.
Many people have come up with all sorts of ways to avoid going to the countryside, and Xu Min is giving them a heads-up to prevent them from causing trouble for themselves.
Zhou Jinfeng was just thinking about making Zhou Xiaolan sick when, unexpectedly, Director Xu was waiting there.
He could only put on a smile and see the person out, but his face immediately darkened as soon as he turned around.
"What happened? Didn't you find out what was going on?"
Bai Ailian was frightened by the fierce look in his eyes and quickly shook her head to explain, "I don't know either. Many people say that if you don't go to the countryside, you can just find someone to marry and don't mention all the troubles involved."
Zhou Jinhua kicked the newly bought stool hard, sending it crashing into the corner of the wall and instantly deforming it.
Bai Ailian opened her mouth in distress, but ultimately didn't dare to say anything.
Zhou Xiaolan was still in a daze after signing the document, but the sound startled her and brought her back to her senses.
The thought of being sent to the countryside, and to a western province at that, made him turn pale.
"What do we do now?" Bai Ailian was anxious. She hadn't expected that all her careful selection would come to nothing.
If Xiaolan goes to the countryside, her household registration will also be transferred. Many people never return, and most settle down in the area.
They've been taking such good care of Zhou Xiaolan all these years, yet she hasn't contributed anything to the family. How can they accept that?
Zhou Xiaojun, who had been hiding in the corner, said at this moment, "My sister always falls down, why don't we let her fall down this time too?"
This wrestling is not like the wrestling of the past; that kind can cause serious injuries, and only in this way can one avoid walking with the group.
We can try to find connections and ask someone for help later; there's still a chance to get it back.
Zhou Xiaolan couldn't believe that Zhou Xiaojun would come up with such an idea. No matter what, she was his older sister, and she had raised him all these years.
Ordinary falls and bumps are unavoidable; does it really have to come to that?
No, she didn't want to. This had happened before, and some people had been left with disabilities.
If she really had to choose, she would rather go to the countryside and suffer than be a cripple in the future.
“If all else fails, I’ll go to the countryside. Director Xu just said that since the papers have already been signed, if any problems arise, I’ll have to go back to the factory.” Zhou Xiaolan knew what her parents cared about most. “In two years, if there’s an opportunity, we can help me transfer back.”
It was easy to say, but the Zhou family all knew that unless they gave up their jobs, it would be very difficult for Zhou Xiaolan to come back.
Bai Ailian then scolded her son, "Don't give me bad advice. Those who hurt themselves are all gambling."
If something were to happen to your sister, a girl, her whole life would be ruined.
Go to the countryside first, and we'll transfer you back when the opportunity arises.
Things have come to this point, why make things worse? Besides, you're injured, don't you need to pay for medical expenses?
The previous hospital visits had already been painful enough for her; if this were a serious injury, wouldn't it cost even more money?
Besides, it's good that Zhou Xiaolan went to the countryside. Next year, Zhou Xiaojun can choose to stay in the city. At worst, they can support him for a few more years before giving him a job.
As for whether Zhou Xiaolan will come back in the future, there is a way. If someone can provide a job, the marriage can still be arranged.
Looking at Zhou Xiaolan's handsome face, although she couldn't compare to the Hua family's maids, she was still considered quite good in this courtyard.
“Let him go to the countryside then. You’ll regret it if you ruin your health,” Bai Ailian said to Zhou Xiaolan with a loving expression. “You go first, and leave the rest to your father and me. We’ll figure something out.”
Zhou Jinfeng was about to get angry, but after hearing the rest, he understood. "Yes, you can go to the countryside with peace of mind. Your family will definitely not abandon you."
If all else fails, lowering the requirements is better than being a village woman in the future. I imagine that by then, the girl won't be so picky.
She was the one who was picky before; otherwise, the family would have already accepted the betrothal gifts by now, and there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
After weighing the options in her mind, Zhou Xiaolan finally decided to go to the countryside first.

Hua Xiangyun had just returned to the courtyard and put her things down when Zhou Xiaolan came looking for her.
"What's the matter?" Hua Xiangyun didn't understand. The two of them had openly fallen out, so what else was there to say?
"I'm going to the countryside the day after tomorrow."
Hua Xiangyun said "Oh," and then added, "That's good."
“I’m going to the western province,” Zhou Xiaolan said, staring at her. “Are you satisfied now?”
Hua Xiangyun: "This is ridiculous. What does it have to do with me where you go?"
"How can it not be related? You know I like your second brother, so why won't you help me? We used to be such good friends." In the end, Hua Xiangyun was the one who started all of this.
If she had been willing to give Hua Erge's address last year, she wouldn't have let He Ping'an teach Hua Xiangyun a lesson, and none of what happened later would have occurred.
"So what?" Hua Xiangyun knew that Zhou Xiaolan was in a hurry and came to her to vent her frustrations, but it depended on whether she would cooperate.
"Just because you like someone doesn't mean everyone else has to like you back. You joke about people's lives at the slightest dissatisfaction. With a personality like yours, who would dare to date you?"
You came to tell me you were going to the countryside. Now that I know, you can leave.
As for seeing me off or anything like that, forget about it. We're really not that close.
Zhou Xiaolan: "I just want to know, if He Ping'an hadn't hurt you that day, and if none of what happened afterward had occurred, would you have tried to match me up with your second brother?"
Hua Xiangyun couldn't understand this person's thought process, so what's the point of asking these questions now?
"How would I know? But given our past relationship, maybe, perhaps, it's possible." Hua Xiangyun originally wanted to say it was impossible, but felt she could hit you a little harder, "After all, I've helped you a lot in the past."
Zhou Xiaolan also realized that what she lacked in the Zhou family was basically made up for by Hua Xiangyun.
With Hua Xiangyun's help, she lived no worse than the other girls in the courtyard, but she was still not as good as Hua Xiangyun.
If she hadn't been so greedy and wanted more, would things be different now?
Hua Xiangyun had no interest in reminiscing about the past with her here, besides, those weren't her personal experiences.
Just as she turned around, she heard Zhou Xiaolan's apologetic voice behind her, "I'm sorry."
Hua Xiangyun sneered, "I won't forgive."
Zhou Xiaolan returned home in a daze. When did Hua Xiangyun become so heartless?
She already apologized, so why is she so blunt about not forgiving me?
"Don't run around. Your dad and I don't have time. Pack your things yourself." Bai Ailian sighed, but still took out some money and notes from the room and gave them to her.
