Chapter 120 The 60s (5)
Wangyou's side remained cheerful, except for the occasional royalties she received, which were quite a lot for this era. Wangyou didn't intend to make a fortune in this time.
Or occasionally use the power of words to curse someone.
The machinery factory's announcement room!
"If I tell you to write propaganda, then write it properly. If you really can't, then you can borrow from others. These are newspapers from the past year that I found. Take them back and study them carefully!" The propaganda director looked at the few people under his command with great helplessness.
"These articles by the author called Forget-Me-Not are amazing, but they don't indicate where they're from!"
"It couldn't possibly be someone from our machinery factory. I looked for them as soon as I came out, but I couldn't find the person who wrote it!"
"Forget-me-not, forget-me-not, why does that sound so familiar?" a young girl said, frowning.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"
"I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before. Oh, I remember now, but that can't be!" Xiaoyu remembered that her boyfriend had a younger sister named Wangyou, but she was only eleven years old!
"What do you mean it's impossible? Do you know this person?"
"My boyfriend Xie Wenbin's younger sister is named Wangyou, but she's only eleven years old!"
"That's impossible. Even college students might not be able to write this kind of article, how could it be written by a child!" The propaganda director ruled out this possibility without even thinking about it.
Great, that eliminates the correct answer!
With the three robots taking turns selling food in various places, three years quickly passed, and a new wave seemed to be emerging.
At some point, a group of people wearing red armbands began to appear on the streets. Schools across the country went on strike, teachers were labeled as "stinking intellectuals," and men and women on the streets dared not get too close for fear of being arrested and denounced by the red armbands.
At the same time, a wave of students going to the countryside emerged, with countless graduates and students signing up to go to the countryside with beautiful dreams.
For families with many children, it was required that one child must go to the countryside after graduating from high school.
In 1966, this evil trend reached its peak, and everyone on the streets felt insecure.
"I plan to sign up to go to the countryside!"
"What?! Sis, what's wrong with you?!"
"I plan to go to Guangxi. I've heard there are many poisonous insects, snakes, and ants there, which will make it easier for me to source materials locally. Besides, the city is too chaotic right now, so I want to go to the countryside to avoid it!" At the dinner table, Wangyou slowly made a decision.
"No, sister, even if we're going to the countryside, it should be me who goes, how can you go!" Fifteen-year-old Xie Xiaojiang said excitedly.
"Little sister, you can't go to the countryside. The saying 'bad people come from poor mountains and bad waters' is no joke!" Xie Xiaorou had run away from the deep mountains, and no one knew the evil in human nature better than her. Looking at her increasingly beautiful younger sister, she was really worried about her.
"I've made up my mind. I'll sign up tomorrow. It might be safer in the countryside. Little brother, you're so energetic, why don't you join the army too!"
"Second sister, you agreed!" Xie Xiaojiang said excitedly.
"You won't go just because I don't agree?"
"If you don't agree, I won't dare to go!"
"Sister, why don't you bring your boyfriend home the day after tomorrow? If it's a good match, you should get married as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, little sister!" Xie Xiao obeyed Wang You's every word.
"After I leave, Mom will probably continue to subsidize her family. That family is shameless; they should be beaten if they deserve it. Dad, you better keep an eye on the food. Don't let it be like before, where your own children are starving while other people's children are plump and healthy!"
"Don't worry, Dad remembers!" After being trained by Wangyou over the past few years, Xie Dazhu has finally become more like a father.
Sometimes, even Wangyou wonders why you don't need a certificate to become a parent!
"Okay, give me your household registration book. I'll go to the subdistrict office tomorrow to register for rural work. If I wait for them to come and urge me, I probably won't have a place to choose from!"
Xie Dazhu took out the household registration booklet and handed it to Wangyou. When he looked up, he suddenly saw Liu Daya's eyes rolling around.
"Mom, what are you planning?" Wangyou said coldly.
"No, I didn't have any plans!"
"Oh, I'll keep the household registration booklet before I leave!"
"Second...Wangyou, you're not using this household registration book!"
"It's useless to me, but it's useful to you. For example, you can use the household registration book to register one of your children for a rural assignment, or even substitute it for one of your nephews!" Wangyou said with a half-smile.
The whole family turned to look at Liu Daya, and sure enough, they saw that Liu Daya's eyes were darting around.
"Brother, sister-in-law, your salaries are not low. If the factory provides housing, you should move out as soon as possible!"
"it is good!"
"But don't forget to give Dad the monthly allowance!"
"We absolutely cannot forget this!"
"Alright, I won't say anything more then. Let's pack up and go to sleep!"
The next day, Wangyou took her household registration booklet to the neighborhood office and said, "Sister Wang, I'm here to sign up for the rural service program!"
"Why did you sign up to go to the countryside? With your abilities, getting a job shouldn't be a problem!"
"I want to go to Guangxi, can you check if there are any spots left?"
"Hey sis, have you really made up your mind? Are you really going to go to the countryside?"
"Yes, it's decided!"
"Okay, I'll look for it!"
"Thank you, Sister Wang! Have a candy to sweeten your mouth!"
"You must take good care of yourself when you go to the countryside!" Sister Wang rambled on as she flipped through her notes. "Sister, there are no more spots left in Guangxi. There are very few people going there to begin with, and not many places available!"
"Then can you help me see where else I can go?"
"Right now, there are only spots available in Northeast China, Qinghai, and Yunnan Province. The next train is in seven days!"
"Then report it to Yunnan Province!"
"You really want to go!"
"Hurry up and write it, I'm already giving you performance points!"
"Alright, alright, fill out the form!" After Wangyou finished filling out the form, Sister Wang handed her two hundred yuan. "This is your rural allowance, take it!"
"Okay, thank you, Sister Wang, I'm off!" After leaving the subdistrict office with her household registration booklet, Wangyou went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. She planned to mail the larger items through the post office, and she also planned to carry a small bag with her to hold her lunchbox.
Although she can lift things, carrying so many by herself looks exhausting.
When Wangyou returned, it was still early, and Xie Xiaojiang was there.
"Sister, can I have your household registration booklet? I need to sign up for the army!"
Has registration started yet?
"It has already begun!"
"Then let's go, I'll go with you!"
When they arrived at the recruitment site, it was truly a sea of people. Wangyou handed the household registration book to Xie Xiaojiang, saying, "Alright, you go by yourself, I'll wait for you here!"
"Sister, I think I saw Second Brother!" Xie Xiaojiang suddenly shouted.
"Keep your voice down, I can hear you. Hurry up and sign up. As for whether it's true or not, he's already in Haishi, he's not going home!"
"That's true!" Xie Xiaojiang then grabbed his household registration book and quickly went to line up.
"Hello, comrade!"
"Um, hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Are you here to sign up for the army too? Your appearance is perfect for a career in the performing arts troupe!"
"Um, no, I came with my younger brother. I've already signed up to go to the countryside!" Wangyou refused the enthusiastic soldier and quickly moved to a more concealed position.
"That's such a pity! If you joined our performing arts troupe, you could definitely become a star!" The man looked at Wangyou with regret. "You haven't been sent to the countryside yet. Why don't you try applying? I can transfer your household registration all at once!"
"Really, I don't need it. I enjoy going to the countryside!"
"Little sister, it really is you!"
