"Let's talk about going to the countryside while eating."
The head of the family, Zhou Zhigang, had already made up his mind, and everyone naturally sat down at the table one by one. In the Zhou family, Zhou Zhigang always meant what he said.
"By the way, Bingkun, did the street tell you where you were going?"
As soon as he sat down, before he could even stretch his legs, the eldest brother Zhou Bingyi couldn't wait to ask.
'Bingkun' is the youngest child in the family. He is the eldest brother. He is still very concerned about where his younger brother goes.
"not decided."
Li Jie took a sip of the hot porridge and said calmly, "But the people on the street said it shouldn't be too far."
"Everyone in the street knows about our family's situation. Dad is going to Southwest China, and brother, you are going to the Construction Corps."
"Speaking of which, I have benefited from you."
"As long as it's not far away, it's good as long as it's not far away."
Li Suhua felt a little relieved after hearing this. She is seventeen years old, which is neither too big nor too young.
Now that her name has been registered, going to the countryside is definitely a certainty. At this moment, she has no other extravagant wishes in her heart. She just wants her youngest son to go as close as possible.
This sentence not only made Li Suhua feel at ease, but also Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi felt a little relieved.
The name of the old kid is not for nothing, ‘Bingkun’ is the baby kid in the family.
On the other side, when Zhou Rong heard that her brother would not go too far, her heart suddenly became lively.
After such a period of buffering, the sadness in her heart had eased a lot, and her current mood was more of anger.
Why!
Why did Feng Huacheng dump her directly?
From junior high school to now, the two have corresponded for five years and confirmed their relationship for three years, although they have never met each other.
But in her heart, the two of them have long been boyfriend and girlfriend.
Asking themselves, Zhou Rong felt that she had done nothing wrong.
She couldn't accept being broken up so suddenly!
She wished she could go to your province now and ask Feng Huacheng face to face what the letter meant.
However, Guizhou is more than a thousand miles away from Jichun. Even if she wants to go, she can't go.
These days, traveling far away without a valid reason is absolutely unrealistic.
Not to mention whether you can buy train tickets, when you arrive in a different place, just the problem of food and accommodation can make people crazy.
I don’t have a letter of introduction from my employer, so I can’t find a place to live.
There is also the issue of food stamps.
Food stamps issued in most regions can only be used in that region. Only national food stamps issued by the state can be used nationwide.
However, the national food stamps are planned, and the number issued is very small. They are distributed to various regions and units, and even less.
Zhou Rong has no job, so naturally she cannot get national food stamps.
We do have some national food stamps at home, but they are for my father and eldest brother, who are about to go on a long journey.
One goes to the southwest and the other goes to the northeast. Once there, the food stamps from Jichun City will definitely not be used.
Therefore, a few days ago, Zhou Zhigang asked someone to exchange some national food stamps through his connections.
It took a lot of effort to exchange for these food stamps.
After comprehensive consideration, Zhou Rong wanted to go to Guizhou to confront Feng Huacheng, but there was only one way.
Go to the countryside!
Go to your province and go to the countryside!
Generally speaking, places to go to the countryside are basically allocated, and you cannot go wherever you want, with the exception of certain places.
If you take the initiative to apply to go to remote areas, you will most likely get what you want.
After all, few people want to go to that kind of place.
'Go back to the street and ask if you can send someone else to the countryside.'
Zhou Rong thought to herself while eating.
In fact, she had planned to apply to go to the countryside as early as the door-to-door mobilization on the street.
She longs for a free life!
She longs for free love!
She certainly wouldn't be able to achieve either of these things if she stayed at home.
Just like now, she has to be careful even when receiving, reading, and writing letters, without any personal space at all.
She didn't dare to tell her family about her pen pal, and she didn't dare to tell her family about her love affair.
She felt that even if she told her, her family would not understand her.
In this world, there are only one and a half people who truly understand her.
Feng Huacheng, a poet far away in Guizhou Province, is one, and her classmate Cai Xiaoguang is barely half.
After the meal, Zhou Zhigang walked into the room silently, and then walked out after a while. When he came out, he had a stack of tickets in his hand.
He came to Li Jie and thrust the bill into Li Jie's hand.
"Bingkun, take these."
"No."
Li Jie quickly waved his hand: "You should just keep it. The place you are going to is farther than me. It's the Southwest. You should prepare more things. That's right."
In this era where everything depends on tickets, it can be said that it is difficult to move without tickets.
Although Zhou Zhigang was going to support the construction of the third front line, according to common sense, he would not be short of food and clothing, but it was better to be prepared.
On the other side, Li Suhua saw the stack of bills that her husband had taken out. Although she only glanced at them and did not count them in detail, she estimated that her husband took out at least half of them.
Throw these away, and the husband doesn’t have much left.
Li Suhua pursed her lips, trying to follow her son's words, and asked her husband to take back some words.
But she just couldn't open her mouth.
The youngest son is a treasure in his heart. Even if 'Bingkun' says that the place he is going to is not far, no one knows whether it is far or not until the matter is settled.
What if you go far away?
At that time, these tickets will be useful, and they will be of great use.
The kind that can save lives at critical moments!
"Bingkun, just take it."
Li Suhua sighed silently in her heart. As elders, they should suffer a little bit. No matter how hard it is, they should not suffer the children.
"If you are poor and have a rich road, be more prepared, that's right."
"Your mother is right."
Zhou Zhigang nodded and said: "Since you were a child, you have never traveled far away. This is your first time, so bring more with you. That's right."
Seeing the resolute attitude of the two elders, Li Jie could not continue to refuse. Although with his ability, he could live a happy life even if he went to the wilderness to survive.
But these words cannot be explained.
After thinking for a while, he reached out and fiddled with the pile of bills and divided them into two.
"Okay, I'll just take half."
Here, Zhou Zhigang wanted to say something more, but Zhou Bingyi on the side suddenly spoke.
"Dad, I think Bingkun is right. If you go far, take more with you. When you come back, I will even out some from my place and give it to Bingkun."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhigang's face turned serious and he was determined.
"How can that be done!"
"Yours is for two people, it can't be shared equally!"
"If you want it to be even, just make it mine."
Everyone in the family knew why Zhou Bingyi wanted to go to the Corps near the border, because Zhou Bingyi's girlfriend, Hao Dongmei, was assigned to a farm nearby.
Although Hao Dongmei's parents have been defeated now, the Zhou family has no objection at all and supports Zhou Bingyi to follow him to the countryside.
Before Dongmei's parents were overthrown, Ren was the daughter of a high-ranking official. At that time, Ren Dongmei didn't despise their family. How could they despise Ren Dongmei now?
