His niece was pampered and raised by her brother-in-law. It would be strange if she would be willing to ask her to suddenly leave home and go to the countryside.
"Jiayuan, let me tell you, your mother and I grew up in the countryside. Of course, there were wars at that time, and it was definitely not as good as it is now in peacetime. However, life in the countryside is still very hard now, and
It’s not ordinary suffering.”
At this point, he stopped and saw that his niece was listening carefully, so he continued: "Let me tell you this, if you go to a place closer to the town or county seat, it will be slightly better.
No matter which ravine you go to, you can't buy food even with money and tickets, because no one has it."
Jiayuan stared at her uncle in disbelief with her eyes wide open.
"Don't be so surprised. What I said is the truth."
"No way, uncle, I can't buy food even with money and food stamps?"
"It doesn't exist at all. What can I sell it to you?"
"But...but..." Jiayuan was a little anxious, but she didn't know what to say.
Li Chu smiled and patted her hand: "Don't worry, do you know why the country encourages educated young people to go to rural areas to join the queue?"
"Go build the countryside. Use the knowledge we have learned to help the countryside."
"You are right, but the most important point is that there are too many people in the city and too many people eat commercial food."
Jiayuan looked at Li Chu confused, she couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
Li Chu thought for a while and then said: "Let's use an analogy. If you hadn't stopped classes now and finished high school normally, what would you have done if you hadn't been admitted to college?"
"Waiting for the neighborhood committee to arrange the work."
"That's right. Do you know how many people are queuing up for work at the neighborhood committee now?"
Wang Jiayuan shook her head. She really had not cared about these issues.
She had just been in high school for a month and stopped classes. She just memorized the contents of the red book at school every day without thinking about the future.
"If you go and queue now, you may not get your turn in two years."
"Are there so many people lining up?" Jiayuan asked in surprise.
"I may have said too little. For more details, you can ask your mother. She will definitely have specific figures."
"These people in line have nothing to do now. They only eat, sleep, or wander around on the streets. With so many people doing nothing all day long, it is better to let them work in the countryside. At least they can farm their own land to support themselves.
If I go alone, there will be one less person to support in the city. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?"
These words of Li Chu overturned Wang Jiayuan's three views. How come it was so glorious to go to the countryside to jump in the queue, but when it came to his uncle's mouth, it became the solution to the street gangsters in the city.
Looking at his niece's expression, he knew that she couldn't accept his statement. Li Chu smiled and said, "Jiayuan, think about it again. According to the publicity, how long will it take to go to the countryside?"
"Three years, or five years?" Jiayuan answered with some hesitation.
"Whether it's three years or five years, we have voluntarily signed up to build the countryside. It has been ten or eleven years since the beginning. You can go and ask around to see who has come back."
When he said this, Li Chu also suddenly realized that something was wrong. It seemed that registration was voluntary before, but starting from this year it should be mandatory. Regardless of whether you graduate from junior high school or high school, as long as you don't have a job, you must go
.
I wonder if people like Jiayuan who have not graduated will be forced to do so?
Li Chu really doesn't know about this. No, he must discuss it with his sister and brother-in-law.
Wang Jiayuan was sitting there in confusion. She believed that her uncle would not lie to her, and there was no need to lie to her.
Gu Yu
Just as he was about to say something, he saw that Li Chu was wondering what he was thinking there, and his face turned blue and red.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Wang Jiayuan reached out and pulled Li Chu's arm.
"Oh, I suddenly thought of something, it's nothing."
He explained casually, but kept thinking in his heart that the only way to prevent Jiayuan from being sent to the countryside is to find a job for her immediately.
But it is simply unrealistic to expect my sister and brother-in-law to arrange work for Jiayuan now.
I don’t know how many people are staring at the couple now. We don’t dare to mess around in this stall. If someone tries to take advantage of the situation, it will be really bad.
Thinking of this, Li Chu turned his head and looked at the wall in the southwest corner of the yard, as if he could see through the wall.
Maybe he can find a way to arrange a job for his niece, but he still has to discuss it with his sister and brother-in-law first, since the family member is their child.
Having made up his mind, he stopped thinking and patted his niece's arm: "Remember what uncle said, don't sign up on your own initiative under any circumstances. Neither your mother, father, nor uncles and aunts will harm you, we will
He is your elder, and everyone loves you very much."
The word "love" caused a blush to appear on Wang Jiayuan's face.
People nowadays are more conservative in their thinking. No matter whether it is elders to children or couples, no one would ever say this word on their lips.
Wang Jiayuan was still a little shy when her uncle came to her so suddenly.
After everyone had lunch at Li Chu's place, they went back to their homes. After sending Wang Jun, Wang Bing and their child away, Li Qin and the others were also preparing to go home.
"Sister, brother-in-law, don't leave yet. I want to tell you something."
Li Qin and Wang Ziwen glanced at each other, and both husband and wife saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Several people walked back to the living room and sat on the sofa.
Li Qin asked anxiously: "Xiao Chu, what's the matter?"
"It's just a matter of Jiayuan jumping in line."
"Jumping in line, does Jia Yuan have to go to the countryside? That would be so hard." Before Li Qin and Wang Ziwen could say anything, Ding Qiunan couldn't sit still.
"Don't be anxious, Qiu Nan, we're not talking about this now." Li Chu shook his head at his wife.
"No, Xiao Chu, didn't I tell Yuanyuan that I don't agree with her going?" Li Qin turned to look at her daughter: "Yuanyuan, do you want to go?"
"Mom, I told my uncle that I actually don't want to go."
Wang Ziwen was the old god and sat aside without saying a word.
"Sister, I know what you're talking about, but..."
Li Chu decided to reveal a little more about what he knew.
"However, as far as I know, registration will no longer be voluntary, but will be mandatory."
These words were a bit shocking, and Wang Ziwen couldn't sit still anymore. He jumped up on the sofa as if he was being pricked with needles.
"Xiao Chu, where did you get the news?"
Of course I couldn't say where he got the news. Li Chu just glanced at his brother-in-law and did not answer his questions.
