"Jinbao, what did you say?" Bai Lu thought she heard wrongly.
"Since dad doesn't want to be the factory director, why don't we go to the countryside as a family to join the team?"
After Jin Bao said this, he stepped forward and told what he had been struggling with for a while, "There are some things I didn't want to say at first, but now I feel that I can no longer hide them and I must tell you."
Seeing their daughter's serious look at this time, Bai Lu and Su Jianmin both held their breaths in unison.
They pulled Jinbao in front of them and asked a little cautiously: "Jinbao, what do you want to tell your parents?"
"Soon, in December, there will be a wave of people going to the mountains and countryside across the country. No matter whether the third brother wants it or not, he will have to become a member of the educated youth. The fourth brother will also be the same. He will be the latest
It’s next year…”
Bai Lu felt that her breathing had stopped. She tried hard to maintain rational thinking and asked her daughter: "Jinbao, are you saying that Wennian and Xiaosi have to go to the countryside regardless of whether we agree or not?"
"Well, it's mandatory! Some people go to the countryside to join the queue, and some people are assigned to the corps.
The wages for joining a team in rural areas are low, maybe only a few cents a day. If you join the Corps, you basically go to the poorest, most miserable and remote places to implement military-style management. The wages are much higher than those for production teams, and they can be as little as a month.
Twenty, and as many as forty.
Although it sounds like the treatment in the Corps is better than in the countryside, when working in uninhabited areas, you may be bitten by venomous snakes, venomous insects, or even surrounded by wolves, which is very dangerous. I don't want the third and fourth brothers to encounter such danger..."
Su Jianmin couldn't help but reached out and touched Jinbao's head to make sure she didn't have a fever or illness.
"Dad, don't you believe what I say?" Jinbao asked.
"No, no, I just...just..."
Not knowing how to express his feelings at the moment, Su Jianmin took a deep breath and said, "Jinbao, can you tell dad why you know these things?"
Jinbao didn't want to tell anyone about the things he had lived his entire life.
She blinked her big eyes twice, "It can be considered a precognitive ability, but I can only predict some particularly important things, such as the kind of big events that can be recorded in history textbooks. I don't know the ordinary little things in daily life.
.”
"I believe in Jinbao!" Bai Lu said without thinking.
Su Jianmin thought that his daughter could even recruit a tiger and make the tiger obey. It seemed that it was not difficult to understand if she had some precognitive ability.
At this time, both husband and wife began to think.
According to Jinbao, since Wennian and Xiaosi must become educated youths, and being assigned to the corps is very risky, and they may even lose their lives, it is really better to go to the countryside now.
Seeing that his mother seemed to be less resistant to going to the countryside, Jinbao expressed his thoughts, "Before today, I actually had not made up my mind, but just now I heard my father say that he no longer wants to be the factory director, and I thought that we could be a family.
People go to live in rural areas.
In this way, I don’t have to be separated from my third and fourth brothers, and I can receive a subsidy of 900 yuan.”
"Jinbao, can you really get the subsidy of 150 yuan per person?"
"Since the higher-ups are still encouraging everyone to take the initiative to change their household registration and go to the countryside, I think the first batch of people who go there are probably really receiving subsidies, but the subsequent people may not be."
Jin Bao's idea is very simple: to maximize the interests of his family.
Now that the factory is closed and there is no wages, my father is still upset staying in the factory.
Once the third and fourth brothers leave next year, my mother will definitely miss them and worry about them.
Being an educated youth in the Corps is different from joining the army as a soldier. There is no guarantee in the former, and there are many unnatural deaths...
Jinbao thought that he could not be with his third and fourth brothers these past two days, and he was really worried that something would happen to them.
The best way is for the whole family to live in the countryside and avoid the chaotic situation in the next few years.
"Dad," Jinbao held her father's hand, "the only thing I find difficult to decide now is that you have to give up your title of factory director and return to the countryside to be a farmer. It took a lot of effort for you to get out of the countryside..."
Before the little girl could finish speaking, her father sighed and said: "If the factory needs me, I would be really reluctant to leave, but now I feel that it doesn't matter whether the factory has me or not. I haven't done anything serious since I came back from Nanping City. Every day
Just messing around."
He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the large building in front of him, "To be honest, as I get older, I really miss rural life. Looking out, I can see the endless mountains. It's not like the city where everything is covered at a glance.
Houses next to each other.
I work at sunrise and return at sunset. I live a simple and unpretentious life every day. It's a bit hard, but I feel at ease.
It’s not like now, when I’m always on tenterhooks, always worried that I won’t be able to complete the task, or that if I say the wrong thing casually, one day a group of people will break into our house and take me away in front of you..."
"Let's go to the countryside!" Bai Lu seemed to have finally made up her mind, "As long as our family can stay together, it doesn't matter if we are a little tired. The most important thing is that everyone can be healthy and safe!"
Su Jianmin looked back at his wife, "Aren't you afraid of those fleas in the countryside? There are also pig pens..."
"What's there to be afraid of? Aren't they just a few bugs? I'll just bring more flea killers. As for the pig pen..."
You would be lying if you said you weren't afraid. Those pigs are smelly and dirty, and they also like to hump people. It's really scary!
Seeing his mother's red face and fearful look, Jin Bao patted his chest and promised with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, as long as I'm here, the pigs in those pig pens will never dare to bully you, and they will stay away from you.
Far."
Thinking of Jin Bao making animals obedient, the panic on Bai Lu's face disappeared, her eyebrows became curved, and she said with a smile: "Haha, with Jin Bao's words, I feel relieved! I'm actually looking forward to it now.
rural life."
After she finished speaking, she picked up her precious daughter and kissed her cheek.
"Which rural area are our family going to? Are we going back to my hometown?"
Su Jianmin said while thinking: "The subsidy for joining relatives is NT$120. The money is relatively small, but after all, my parents and my brothers are all here, so we have to take care of each other."
"Of course it's to visit relatives. It's better to live with relatives than to go to an unfamiliar place."
After Bai Lu finished speaking, she patted Jin Bao's back in her arms and asked, "What do you think, Jin Bao? Do you miss your grandparents too? And your uncles and uncles, they must all miss you too."
"Of course I miss my grandparents, but if I could choose, I think..." Jin Bao pursed his lips mid-sentence, "I think it's best to go to a village in Bao'an County."
Her parents were stunned, "Where?"
Su Jianmin looked confused, "Where is Bao'an County? I have never heard of it."
"Although it's not famous now, this place will become a household name in the future. I think if the household registration is moved there, it will be a good thing for the third brother, fourth brother and fifth brother, and their lives will be easier in the future.
of."
Baoan County is the future Shenzhen, a place where every inch of land is at a premium.
If I cannot move my registered permanent residence back to Jinghai City in the future, it would be a good thing to be able to settle in Shenzhen.
