Chapter 402: Selling Sister-in-law
I hadn't written to Xia Zhizhi before, firstly because I had something going on at home, and secondly because my correspondence address might change, and I was afraid that after I wrote to Xia Zhizhi, she wouldn't be able to receive her reply.
Now that she had settled down, she immediately wrote to Xia Zhizhi, hoping that Xia Zhizhi would not be angry with her.
In the letter, Jiang Sihua talked about her work in the Construction Corps and expressed her longing for Xia Zhizhi. She hoped that she could come and visit Xia Zhizhi when she had time in the future.
Xia Zhizhi encouraged her courage in the letter and sent some snacks to the little girl.
If Xia Zhizhi was asked to personally engage in construction, she would definitely not be happy about it.
But it is precisely because there are countless aspiring young people like Jiang Sihua who rushed to the border with nothing but passion and exchanged their youth and blood for peace and prosperity in the border area. This is a respectable and awe-inspiring spirit.
After replying to her friends, she began to deal with the letters sent by members of the blindness elimination group.
This was a huge project that could not be completed in two or three days. During this period, Xia Zhizhi asked Ah Ju to go to the market to mail letters and parcels in a different way every day.
No exaggeration, the GDP of Mudanjiang's logistics industry is driven by her alone.
The number of members in the blindness-clearing team is increasing. According to incomplete statistics, members in the north have discovered several times more than those in the south.
Mountainous or remote areas are particularly difficult to develop.
This is normal.
In places like Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, people are asked to run 20 miles up the mountain every day to clear the blind. Even if they are willing mentally, their stomachs cannot hold it and they will get hungry.
In addition to pursuing our ideals, we also have to eat and survive. This is an era when even the problem of food and clothing is not yet solved.
In addition to this reason, there is another reason, which is that the southern dialect is more popular than Mandarin.
Even the educated young people all copied in plastic Mandarin.
If you talk to someone a little older, it's like talking to a deaf person. No one can understand you. How can you talk about clearing the blind spot?
If we want to popularize Mandarin, it will be a huge project.
Xia Zhizhi propped her chin up and thought seriously about the future development of the Blind Sweeping Group.
As she planned, she wrote quickly on the paper.
Take it one step at a time.
Xia Zhizhi first wrote a booklet about her travel experiences and distributed it to everyone for free.
All kinds of dark places are written about. In short, the purpose is to tell comrades that people in many places are doing many horrifying evil deeds because of their ignorance. There is nothing to hide about such things, so it is better to let everyone know.
Anyway, if you meet someone with such thoughts, you must educate them again and again.
Then, the blindness-elimination teams in the three northeastern provinces developed very well. All the idle people on the streets were captured and forced to join.
To be honest, the people in the nearby villages have been exhausted by them. One or two of them used to be old farmers, but now they have to study as hard as they would for the college entrance examination.
When there are too many people and not much to do, it is easy for chaos to occur.
Xia Zhizhi wrote to several leaders of the more active city anti-blindness teams, asking them to bring idle team members from the north to the south for support.
Xia Zhizhi can provide the tickets, and you can solve the rest by yourself. Those who need it can apply.
Xia Zhizhi had her own considerations for doing this.
Population mobility helps people be exposed to new ideas.
Compared with those in the south, most comrades in the Northeast are more socially capable and can talk a lot on their own. When you really go there, there are no other requirements, and it's nice to just go out and brag every day.
The Northeastern accent is very contagious, and generally a normal Northeastern person can pick up a bunch of accents.
There was a guy from Northeast China in the dormitory. After a month, everyone started talking to him, asking what was going on and what he was doing!
Anyway, sending some people from Northeast China over there should be helpful for everyone's Mandarin practice.
Moreover, people from Northeast China are both good at literature and martial arts, and they should be able to play a significant role in developing members.
This is a long-term and large project that requires a lot of money. Fortunately, Xia Zhizhi has money. Not only does she have money, but she also has no need to spend money, so she can handle it.
Xia Zhizhi worked diligently for several days in a row. Every day when they came home from work, they would see her sitting on the kang, looking at a letter or writing something with a serious face. Knowing that she was busy, no one bothered her much during these days.
During this period, Xia Zhizhi even rode her bike to the city to make several phone calls and mailed some letters as a token of her appreciation.
Seeing that the basket of letters was finally empty, the work came to a temporary end.
Xia Zhizhi, who had been lying on the kang for several days, was planning to take a stroll in the village and get in touch with everyone.
Jiang Xiurong came in shyly.
Xia Zhizhi thought she had something to hide, so she considerately closed the door and asked her, "What's wrong, Sister Xiurong?"
Jiang Xiurong hesitated for a long time like a young wife getting on a sedan chair before she spoke: "Zhizhi, um, is there anything you need my help with?"
Xia Zhizhi has been concentrating on work recently and has not paid much attention to Jiang Xiurong's changes in mentality. She did not understand what she meant for a moment, so she looked at Jiang Xiurong in confusion.
Jiang Xiurong said embarrassedly: "I mean, Sister Xiurong thinks you are amazing. Although you are younger than us, you are very capable and have helped many people. I want to ask if you need my help. Although I don't have much ability, I can also do my best to provide some help to those in need."
Xia Zhizhi was silent for a while, roughly guessed what Jiang Xiurong meant, and then understood Jiang Xiurong's situation.
After satisfying basic survival needs, humans will naturally pursue higher-level life goals.
At this time, Jiang Xiurong has broken free from the constraints of family, has no pressure to survive, and is emotionally harmonious and happy.
If she has no other pursuits, then her life has actually come to an end from this moment on.
If there were no unfortunate accidents, it would be a life that could be summed up in one sentence.
I am beautiful, have a good relationship with my husband, have a wealthy family, and live a happy and fulfilling life.
This kind of life is what many people dream of.
But for Jiang Xiurong, it was already obtained.
With a foundation of material abundance, she will naturally pursue her inner spiritual world, hoping to find the meaning of her own existence.
Jiang Xiurong just had this idea in mind at this moment, but felt a little bit at a loss as to where to start.
Moreover, this is not a good time for anyone to do anything.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Xia Zhizhi seems to be doing well, that’s because she has a powerful enough cheat.
If it weren't for Ah Ju, she wouldn't have been able to travel around the country. Even though she had mental strength, skills, and great strength, when she was out alone, there would always be times when she was careless and if she got caught in a trap, she would have no place to cry.
