Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

He Ying and the other two were still looking forward to rural life. Having grown up in the city, how could they not be excited to change their environment? Especially after hearing Qin Huairu talk about many interesting things, they were even more excited.
After all, going up the mountain to pull pig grass and going down the river to catch fish are all legendary. How can I refuse to experience the fun of collective labor and going up the mountain and down the river? Especially He Ying, who kept grinning, as if she saw the scene of crazy play;

He Yuzhu looked at his son meaningfully. The boy was still excited. After he got there and lived there for a while, he realized that living in the countryside was not an easy thing.

He grew up in the countryside in his previous life. It is said that children from poor families grow up early, which is absolutely true. Children in the city look forward to traveling during summer and winter vacations, while children in the countryside have already helped their families with farm work and are very self-conscious.

Summer vacation is basically the harvesting period. At that time, harvesters were not widely used, especially in my hometown in my previous life.

Harvesting is basically done with sickles. I get up at six o'clock, and my mother has already prepared breakfast. After eating, I hang up my sickle and rush to the fields. I work all day and rush back home at nightfall.

As for winter, I was relatively free. In the morning, I helped my family clean the snow in the yard, then did my homework. In the afternoon, I went to the woods with a group of childhood friends to look for pheasants and rabbits.

Of course, things back then were no longer the same as they are now. Today’s rural areas are based on the work-point system under the production team model. He Yuzhu has never experienced this, but he has heard about it from his father since he was a child.
After dinner, we had to report to the production team, and then the team leader would assign us work. We would get a day’s work points only if we completed the work. If we failed to meet the standards, our work points would be halved. How much we could harvest at the end of the year depended entirely on our work points.
That is to say, diligent people will get more food, cooking oil and cloth coupons, otherwise, they can only laugh.

In a serious distribution according to work, the three of them should go to Dongzhaitang and work hard, otherwise, they would definitely go hungry. The educated youth had no special privileges, they were just the farmers in the village;

In the previous life, there was a courtyard in the countryside. According to my father, it was the educated youth who came from Shanghai. However, it seemed that he never returned to Shanghai in his life. Instead, he married and had children in the local area. He Yuzhu had never seen him in person, but he gave money to all the weddings and funerals in his family. It was very mysterious.
It is said that after the reform and opening up, he went to work in the county because he was educated and knowledgeable. This situation was probably caused by his family background being bad and he did not catch up with the trend of educated youth returning to the city.

It may also be that the family has lost contact, and it is useless to go back. It is better to settle down locally. Without parents, where is not home?
Now, He Yuzhu let his son go to Dongzhaitang for this reason. With Wang Wenchao's family around, He Ying's every move is under control. It's not that he looks down on rural daughters-in-law, but the college entrance examination is very important;

Of course, with Yi Nian'en around, it would be impossible for He Ying to do anything else. Cai Qiuyue had already said that Nian'en looked at He Ying in a wrong way, and He Yuzhu did not interfere.
Marriage is not like other things. It is okay for two people to be in love and raise eyebrows at the desk. Being too casual may cause the marriage to fail, which is not good.

They have watched Nian En grow up, and are generally very satisfied with him. They know him well, and he has positive values ​​and is a good match for them.
Of course, before the two of them formally proposed it, He Yuzhu pretended to know nothing and warned his wife not to interfere and wait and see what would happen.
He Qian was getting old, but He Yuzhu planned to let his daughter stay at home and work in a factory after graduation instead of going to the countryside.
Although it is a bit against the rules, as long as it is not the first time, it should not attract much attention. At most, you will be punished for it.
Besides, if Li Huaide is in office and does not cause public outrage, it is likely that a big thing will be reduced to a small thing, and a small thing will be ignored. If everyone is unwilling, he will give the job to his children;
There should be no problem with job inheritance, right? I will leave in a few years anyway, so what if I leave a few years earlier? You can't let me go to the countryside, right?

"Good, you can't act willfully when you get there. Here's fifty dollars, spend it sparingly and stay calm when things get tough..."

"I know, are you annoying?"

Chunnier wanted to say a few more words, but thinking about leaving soon, she held back. No matter whether her son was liked by everyone or not, he was still her own son after all. It was the frontier, right? Some suffered;
She also hopes that the tough places can help Banggeng change. In the countryside, if you have a weird temper? There are people who will teach you how to behave; if you steal things? You may be beaten to death. Coming from the countryside, she knows that the villagers are simple and honest, but she has zero tolerance for immoral behavior.

They are not well educated and do not stick to the law as people in the city do. Instead, they use the old methods to handle things. If my son goes there, he may be beaten, but he will definitely change!
If this still can't change her son, then she can only give up. Anyway, there are two small ones, and the big one doesn't have a deep relationship with her;

If the end of the shooting is also the Jia family's descendants, Jia Dongxu has repaid his debt of gratitude for his work over the years. Son, I hope you will not disappoint your mother, otherwise...

The vigorous movement of going to the countryside finally welcomed the first batch of educated youth. Bang Geng left with hatred for the He family and everyone in the compound, and boarded the train to the mountains, to the frontier, to the place where the motherland needed him most.

As for He Ying and the other two, they also boarded the car that was supposed to be used as a vehicle for educated youth to go to the countryside and left. With the departure of these people, the compound gradually returned to its calm and there were no more disturbances!
A month later, the capital city entered a cold winter. The winter of 1968 was a bit cold. The buses parked on the street had not yet welcomed the first snow, but a piece of news came!

"Brother Zhuzi, the old deaf lady is dying. She wants to see you before she dies. What do you think?"

That's right, the person who came was Xu Damao, the deputy director of the steel mill committee in charge of publicity. This guy became the deputy director as he wished and became quite arrogant, but he still maintained his original appearance in front of He Yuzhu and did not get carried away;
It wasn't that Xu Damao didn't want to be on equal footing with He Yuzhu, but Li Huaide had repeatedly warned him that apart from him, He Yuzhu was the only one who could be provoked in the steel mill, otherwise, he couldn't save him;

Xu Damao tried to test Li Huaide while they were drunk, but unfortunately Li Huaide remained tight-lipped and refused to say anything. Even Li Huaide didn't dare to offend him, so what right did he have?

"The deaf old lady is dying? What about the others?"

He Yuzhu was not surprised. He didn't remember exactly when the old man in the play died. It should have been a few years later. After all, he was well taken care of and his body was not damaged.
This life is different. My plan failed, my ingredients were corrected, I worked on a farm, and had simple meals, no braised pork...

"The others are fine, they just look much older and have suffered a lot over the years, especially Liu Haizhong, haha...

Brother Zhuzi, I can guarantee that in my current state, if you meet me on the street, you will definitely not recognize me, haha...!" (End of this chapter)
