"What do you think? Time is tight right now, everything was already arranged, it would take some time for me to squeeze it in for you."
After considering it for a long time, Chen Hongxia nodded.
Time is too tight. Let's arrange her destination in the countryside first, and then buy her a job to return to the city in two years.
Zhou Qi squinted at Chen Hongxia and saw that she still had money on her. Chen Hongxia was in a hurry to go home and did not notice his gaze.
As soon as she got home, she saw Bai Xiangdong smashing things in the house, while Bai Jiahe sat on the sofa with a cold face.
"What's wrong?"
“What’s wrong? We’re just keeping her at home to eat for free. We men work hard outside, and she stays at home and doesn’t cook.”
Bai Xiangdong cursed and swore, while Bai Rongjun hid in her room without making a sound. Chen Hongxia quickly went to cook, and after a while, she went in to find her daughter and told her about the things the educated youth had done.
"Mom, what am I going to do?" Bai Rongjun felt like the sky had fallen. Not only could she not stay in the city, but she might also be assigned to a remote place.
So, disregarding Chen Hongxia's advice, she quickly went to find He Shuyue, firmly believing that Aunt He would not give up on her and would find a way to help her.
Upon hearing this, He Shuyue had no other thoughts and hurriedly rushed home to ask her son for help.
"The notice for our son to go to the countryside is about to come out. You need to think of a way to arrange things for Rongjun. If all else fails, arrange for her to go to your place as well."
She thought that since her son was able to arrange one, he should be able to arrange another one as well.
Lu Yang had just finished a phone call when he unexpectedly heard his mother's words as soon as he came out.
"Mom, the notice is about to be issued. I'm not some important person."
What Lu Yang didn't say was why he helped Bai Rongjun make arrangements. He had a comrade-in-arms who had transferred to the provincial capital's educated youth office, and it took a lot of favors to arrange Ronghui's place.
"I just received a call from the company that there's an urgent matter that requires me to go back. We'll leave tonight."
He Shuyue had originally wanted to ask why her son didn't care about his younger sister Rong Jun, but now that she heard he was leaving again, she couldn't care less about anything else.
"Why are you leaving again? Don't you still have a few days of vacation left?"
"There's a mission."
It's already noon, and even if we buy tickets for the evening, there are only a few hours left, so He Shuyue quickly got to work.
"Why don't you come with us to the Northeast? Anyway, the notification will be issued in a couple of days." After the notification is issued, it will probably be another ten days or so before the educated youth are uniformly arranged to go to various places.
"I'll go with everyone else. The educated youth office will make arrangements for us."

At the Bai family home, Chen Hongxia was still busy preparing lunch. She planned to sell the jewelry on the black market after everyone in the family went to work in the afternoon.
Where have you been these past few days?
Bai Jiamei, who was rarely seen at home, finally returned, and Chen Hongxia immediately caught her.
"Mom, I heard that the arrangements for going to the countryside are about to be released. I'm trying to find out where I'll be assigned."
"Is that something you can change just by asking around? Hurry up and cook for me."
Asking around won't change anything, so Bai Jiamei spent a lot of time these past few days and actually found someone and arranged a nice place for her for three hundred yuan.
I heard that person is a leader in the educated youth office. There are still vacancies in the Northeast and several southern provinces and cities. He will arrange them accordingly.
Bai Jiamei, on the other hand, hoped to be assigned to the south, where the climate was pleasant and it was far away from the world in the book.
Although many things are different from what happened in the book, she is, after all, the female lead. Who knows if she will be affected by the plot when she goes there?
Bai Jiamei was extremely flustered, fearing that Chen Hongxia would discover that her belongings were missing in the next few days and prevent her from leaving smoothly.
These days, you need a letter of introduction to go anywhere, otherwise you'd have run away long ago.
She has six hundred yuan left, four hundred of which was spent on connections and gifts, and she also gave Bai Jiaying three hundred.
The eldest sister in the book has almost no plot; she's just described as disobedient and an ungrateful wretch.
However, during this time, Bai Jiamei discovered that this eldest sister was also an unlucky person. The whole Bai family was mentally ill, and this eldest sister was already 26 years old and still unmarried, which was unbelievable in this era.
She's probably going to the south now because she can't stand the Bai family's exploitation and oppression. Anyway, that money is the Bai family's money, so it's all coming from the sheep.
Bai Jiaying never expected that her younger sister, who had always been on the same side as Chen Hongxia and even called her an ingrate, would actually give her 300 yuan.
Where did you get all this money?
"Don't ask, you won't go to jail anyway." Bai Jiamei didn't believe Chen Hongxia would dare to call the police if her jewelry went missing.
After all the men in the house had left and Bai Rongjun still hadn't returned, Chen Hongxia started trying to get Bai Jiamei out.
She didn't want her daughter to find out that she was hiding things in the house.
To her surprise, all the jewelry in the house was gone. Chen Hongxia was terrified and turned the house upside down. It was really gone! All of it was gone!!
Who took it?
No one should know about the jewelry she hid at home. No, Bai Xiangdong always knew she had something else.
Is it him?
Chen Hongxia was almost going crazy. There were only two days left. If Bai Xiangdong didn't return the jewelry, was she going to touch the gold bars outside?
If we rush over there now, what if someone sees us? Besides, selling jewelry on the black market is much more discreet than selling gold bars.
That bitch, she only spent a little over a thousand yuan and stole all her jewelry.
Chen Hongxia was so angry that she smashed everything in the house, and she sat on the bed with a cold face.
In the afternoon, Bai Xiangdong and Bai Jiahe returned home from get off work and found the house not only cold and empty, but also in a complete mess.
"Why hasn't Mom cooked yet? We're starving!"
Bai Xiangdong was also very dissatisfied. He went to the room and found Chen Hongxia sitting on the bed.
"Are you crazy? How did you make such a mess of the house? Go and cook for us right now."
"You took my jewelry? Give it back, I need it."
"You have jewelry at home?" Bai Xiangdong knew she had jewelry, but he didn't expect her to dare to leave it at home. Over the years, Chen Hongxia had been extremely wary of him, not only hiding the gold bars herself, but also never showing him the jewelry.
"You don't know if there is any? Hand over all the jewelry now."
"Are you crazy? I had no idea there were anything in the house. Do you have anything at home? You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
Could it be that she didn't want to return the 1800 and deliberately said the jewelry was missing?
That 1800 was clearly meant for her daughter. If she didn't return it, Bai Xiangdong thought he would definitely make her pay.
"You stole my things and you won't even admit it? Give them back right now."
Seeing that he was still making excuses and saying he didn't know, Chen Hongxia was so angry that she immediately rushed over and screamed at Bai Xiangdong. It was all this man's fault, it was all his fault.
His life is ruined.
