"Comrade, I will be eighteen during the Chinese New Year." Zhao Qingjie thought that he should be able to do it.
"You can do it too, I'll make a special case for you. The remaining three girls can't do it."
"Comrade, let's discuss what procedures are required if my sisters want to go together?"
"You need proof from the brigade."
"Okay, we understand. The two of us will sign up first. If we agree to go, we will come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, you can go at any time if you still have time. You'd better go after the Chinese New Year. It's already freezing over there. If you go there, you're going there to get cold."
Before Su Yuanyuan left, she told Zhao Yanli that if there was any real difficulty in the county, she should go to Blacksmith Yang.
So the five brothers and sisters came out. "Brother, Yuanyuan told me that if you have any trouble in the county, you should go to Blacksmith Yang and ask."
Brother, I actually want to be with Su Yuanyuan, and I think I won’t suffer any loss if I’m with her. And our Japanese melon is trying to find a way to ask Blacksmith Yang, let’s sell them all. Anyway, I’m hungry now even though I’m eating from the village.
If you don't die, even if the three of us sisters can't go with you, you two still have money in your hands."
The other two sisters listened to the younger sister's words and nodded.
"Let's go to Jiangbei together and live a good life there. We will pick them up when they get old," said the boss, Zhao Qingxiang.
The five brothers and sisters made some inquiries. It took a while before they found Lao Yang's house.
Now only Lao Yang and his second apprentice are left here. These two apprentices are the children he picked up, and the rest have gone back.
Looking at the five children who came in, Lao Yang was stunned for a moment.
It was Zhao Yanli who said, "Uncle Yang, we are diggers. I have a very good relationship with Su Yuanyuan. She told me before she left that if I really have difficulties in the county, she will come and ask you."
"Oh. You five come in and drink water."
They were all sitting in the room. "What do you want from me?"
"Uncle Yang, we want to go to Jiangbei to find Su Yuanyuan. I wonder if you can help arrange for us to be assigned to her?"
"Going to Jiangbei? It's not a good place."
"Uncle Yang, no matter how difficult it is there, we are willing to do it. It's just a bit tiring. It's better than being angry at home."
Zhao Yanli talked about some of the situation at home, "Uncle Yang, we are thinking of going there. When my parents get older, we can pick them up and go there too."
Lao Yang shook his head, "You're still too young. It's much harder there than at home. Adults used to have fifty acres of land each. They also had to submit tasks. If they couldn't complete them, they wouldn't get paid. But now the only advantage is that you can have
Bill points."
"Uncle Yang, we have already decided. My second brother and I have just signed up, but the three of them are not old enough, so we can't.
Let's go back to the brigade to issue a certificate.
We already know that life there is not easy, but we have made up our minds to go."
Lao Yang looked at this young man and sighed, "Okay, you go and open the letter first. If it's done, I'll tell you, okay."
"Uncle Yang, we have more than 80 Japanese melons in our hands. They were planted by Su Yuanyuan on the mountain. She told me that if I really can't eat anymore, I can go up to the mountain to pick them. We picked them all. I thought I would give them to my dad anyway.
If mom stays, it will be an advantage for others. Now she can eat from a big pot and won’t starve to death, so we want to sell it.”
"So many Japanese melons?"
"Yeah. I just don't know if Uncle Yang can do anything about it?"
"You also need to think clearly. You may not be able to buy it even if you want to spend money in the future."
The five brothers and sisters all nodded. They felt that there must be some Japanese melons on the mountain, and even if not, they would sell them all.
"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow morning."
Zhao Qingxiang frowned, "Uncle Yang, people will know about it that way. You have been to our village and you know that there is a big hole before you enter our village. Just go there, I will wait for you there."
Lao Yang nodded. "I'll give you a lot of money for these Japanese melons, seventy cents each."
The five brothers and sisters didn't expect it could be sold for so much money, so they nodded immediately.
They rested here for a while before heading home.
Along the way, we discussed how we could get our parents to agree.
Zhao Yanli gritted her teeth, "I'll go ahead and tell you."
Zhao Qingxiang shook his head, "Let's go with the five of us. Think about it again, the conditions there must be very harsh, and you are unfamiliar with the place, and you three are still girls."
Before Zhao Yanli could wait for her two sisters to say anything, she immediately stated, "I must go. I would rather die of exhaustion than die of anger."
The other two sisters also nodded. They now know that the five brothers and sisters are just gambling, and they don't know what kind of situation it will get to in the future.
Zhao Qingxiang asked everyone to eat some vegetables on the way, but he really didn't have much energy to walk back.
When the five of them got home, dinner was already over. Han Lixia still brought it back to the children. I didn't know what these children were doing.
"I've cooked vegetables and porridge for you, go and eat quickly." Even if she considers men as her heaven, she still feels sorry for her children, but they are not as important as men in her heart.
The five of us sat down to eat. We were really hungry. We even ate all the vegetables.
The five of them had already discussed it on the way, so after dinner, they entered their parents' room.
Zhao Tian was smoking when he saw five children coming in.
"Dad, we went to the county today. Qingjie and I have signed up to go to Jiangbei."
"No, I can't go. It's too painful there."
Zhao Yanli held back her anger and said nothing.
"Dad, my family is suffering the same way, and this is also a way out. Besides, we have already signed up, so it won't work even if we don't go."
Zhao Tian was furious, "You are older and your wings have become stronger. Go, you go."
Zhao Yanping also said, "Dad, the three of us sisters are going with us because we are not old enough. We need to go to the brigade to open the letter."
"Xiaoping, you can't go. It's too far there." After hearing this, Han Lixia looked at her three daughters worriedly. She also knew that she could not regret signing up to go to Jiangbei. So for her two sons to go
, they have no other choice. But my daughter absolutely cannot go there.
"Mom, we have agreed that we will go with my eldest brother."
"You are just going to leave us alone?" Zhao Tian asked softly.
Zhao Yanli couldn't bear it any longer. "Don't you still have your eldest brother and your nephews and nieces?
As far back as I can remember, we had to let them have good things, and those good things were theirs. At that time, my grandparents also had to let them go, and the five of us, brothers and sisters, had nothing."
