Chapter 5 Asking for the list of people going to the countryside



"Mom, my mother knew I was greedy, so she asked me to bring it back. But she was right. When I went home this time, my mother didn't know how much she disliked me."

"You, you only took so little stuff back to your parents' home, and brought some back. If it were me, I would also despise you."

Su He said with a smile while washing the pot.

"Mom, how can you say that? I just want to bring it back to honor you."

"Yes, yes, it's my blessing."

"Mom, that's more like it. After all, I risked being beaten to bring you so many delicious foods. You have to help me."

Qiao Yue told Su He in a joking manner what had happened to her at her mother's house in the past two days.

After Song Tanglan finished breakfast and washed the dishes, the two of them came out of the kitchen.

The two of them had no intention of going out, so they just sat in the living room sewing clothes for their family and chatting about family matters.

Song Tanglan thought about it and decided to say at this time:

"Mom, sister-in-law, remember I told you a while ago that Chunyan asked me if I wanted to go to the countryside with her?"

After she finished speaking, she paused deliberately to see their reactions.

Seeing that the two men looked at her with confusion without changing their expressions, Song Tanglan continued.

"Given Yang Chunyan's tone at the time, I think she wouldn't give up so easily. I wonder if she will help me register my name. Or should we go to the Youth League Office and have a look?"

When Su He heard what her daughter said, she immediately exploded.

"What? Lanlan, what you said can't be true?"

"I don't know either. I heard from a friend that when he signed up to go to the countryside, he saw my name on the list. After I knew about this, I told you guys about it. I wanted to ask if it was true."

After saying this, he imitated the original owner and looked very conflicted.

When Qiao Yue heard this, she was a little bit unconvinced, but she knew that her sister-in-law had no reason to lie.

At this time, if they go to the Youth League Office to ask and get an accurate answer, the whole family can feel at ease.

After reacting, he asked doubtfully:

"Little sister, I remember that to register with the Youth League Office, you or your family members must register!"

"I don't know either, that's why I said I'd go ask."

Song Tanglan looked at the two of them innocently, as if she knew nothing about this matter.

"Ayue, you know Chunyan. The Youth League Office said that she needs to register in person, but she can get her name in if she bribes. No, we still have to ask her to be on the safe side."

After saying that, he stood up and went back to his room to change his clothes.

When Qiao Yue heard what her mother-in-law said, she suddenly remembered something and her expression changed.

She took the two children out of the house, and when she came back, she was the only one left.

Song Tanglan didn't see his nephew and niece, and looked at Qiao Yue with confusion.

"I'll send them next door and ask Granny Cui to keep an eye on them for us. After we confirm this, we'll come back to pick them up."

"Yeah, okay."

Seeing how nervous they were, Song Tanglan suddenly felt that this wasn't going to work. What if they couldn't accept it all of a sudden and something happened?

Seeing the worry in their eyes made Song Tanglan feel a little uncomfortable.

A few days ago, the original owner mentioned this matter to the Song family, but Su's mother refused without even listening to her finish.

From her attitude, it can be seen how much she dislikes her daughter going to the countryside.

After Su He changed her clothes, she took the two of them out. Along the way, she was thinking about how her second daughter had suffered a lot when she went to the countryside.

The second daughter is more tactful than the youngest, but she can barely make ends meet. With the youngest daughter's personality, what will happen if she goes to the countryside?

In addition, the second daughter had no choice but to go to the countryside.

At that time, there was a policy that every household had to send at least one person to the countryside.

The eldest son was supposed to go, but he was already married and had children to take care of.

Song Tangcheng didn't want his sister to suffer in the countryside, so he secretly signed up. By the time they found out, it was too late to change it.

When they heard the news, they were angry and heartbroken.

But the second daughter chose to go to the countryside for the sake of her family.

Even though the family prepared a lot of things for Song Tangcheng, they still felt guilty.

At that time, they had no choice but to send their daughter to the countryside reluctantly.

They knew that even if it wasn't the second daughter, it could be the third daughter, the fourth daughter or the youngest son.

The crackdown was strict during those two years. If they were reported, their whole family would be finished.

She could only feel sorry for her daughter, but she could do nothing.

No matter how well her daughter is living now and has found a husband who loves her very much, this has become a hurdle in Su He's heart.

If her fourth daughter's name was also on the list, she didn't know what to do in the future.

Her fourth daughter had never done any work since she was a child. She had an older brother and two older sisters who spoiled her, and her family had never thought of letting her go to the countryside.

I thought of finding a suitable job for her, and when she reached a certain age, I would find a man she liked to marry and have children.

But now such news suddenly popped up, how could they not collapse?

Qiao Yue also knew the worries in her mother-in-law's heart, so she comforted her all the way.

Both of them knew in their hearts that this might be true.

There is no one with the surname Song nearby, and there is no one with the same name and surname as Song Tanglan.

But they still didn't want to believe it in their hearts, thinking that maybe the classmate had seen it wrong, and they all held on to this kind of fluke mentality.

After the three of them arrived at the Youth League Office, the staff there saw the three of them with gloomy faces and asked in confusion.

"Is there anything I can help you with, comrades?"

Su He looked at the staff, suppressed his anger, and asked gently:

"That's right, comrade. I wanted to see if Song Tanglan's name was among those who recently signed up to go to the countryside as educated youth."

"Excuse me, who are you to Comrade Song Tanglan?"

The staff member asked in a businesslike manner.

"I'm Song Tanglan's mother, and this is her sister-in-law. This is Song Tanglan. Please help us check if my daughter's name is on the list."

After saying this, she looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would tell her that her daughter's name was not among them, so that her uneasy heart would be relieved.

When the staff heard this, they checked whether they were on the list of people going to the countryside.

He looked at them with great confusion.

Isn’t it clear whether your family has registered or not?

But he didn't ask any more questions and helped her search. When he finished looking through the files.

"Comrade, your daughter's name is indeed on the list of people going to the countryside this time. She is going to Hongtu Commune in City C, Hunan Province."

When Su He heard this answer, he almost fainted, but was quickly supported by Qiao Yue and Song Tanglan behind him.
