Chapter 1532 Partial Eyed Mom 8
Yuanchun said seriously, "Comrade Fang, the country is now actively calling on educated youth to go to the countryside. As the child of a martyr, I certainly cannot just enjoy the good life without sharing the hardship. I must respond to the country's needs and go to the countryside to contribute to the vast number of farmers. I am a brick, and I will be moved wherever I am needed."
Fang Yan still disagreed.
The educated youth have been going to the countryside for several years. Those who went there before have not been able to return to the city. I heard that their life in the countryside is very hard. They have to go to the fields to do farm work before dawn and are not allowed to go to work until dark. They work hard for a whole year but cannot even earn enough to have a full meal.
Not only were they not well fed and clothed, but some educated youth were also targeted and persecuted by the country folk because they were good-looking.
If there was no other way, she really didn't want to go to the countryside.
She couldn't afford to be a deserter.
"Yuanchun, Yuanchun..." Taozi waved her hand, squeezed through the crowd to stand in front of Yuanchun, and panted, "Yuanchun, you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time."
She handed over a package. "Here, this is a pie that my mother made at home at noon. It's filled with chives and eggs, and there are also tea eggs. My mother said thank you for giving me the job."
Yuanchun accepted it with a touched look on her face, "Thank auntie for me."
"Yuanchun, I can't bear to leave you. You must write to me when you go to the countryside." Taozi's eyes were red. "Also, there are many people on the train today. I heard that someone stole luggage on the train. You must take good care of your luggage. If anything happens when you get to the countryside, write to me and I will help you if I can."
"Okay, I'll write to you when I get there."
Taozi sniffed, took out a fountain pen from her bag and handed it to her, "Yuanchun, you have always envied me for having a fountain pen. Now I give you this fountain pen. You can use it to write to me in the future."
"You gave it to me, what are you going to use for yourself?"
"My mother wants to buy me a new fountain pen for work, and this half bottle of ink is also for you. I heard that it is not easy to buy things in the country."
"Okay, I will cherish them."
"The train is coming, Yuanchun, you have to be well, don't... don't marry a country boy, I... I have a cousin who went to the countryside for a year and got married, and she was almost tortured to death by her in-laws just three months after the marriage. It was my aunt and uncle who received my cousin's letter for help and went to the countryside to pick her up. Yuanchun, in the countryside, no matter how hard it is, you must not marry a village man. If you want to get married, marry a male educated youth."
Taozi saw the train coming and anxiously reminded her.
Yuanchun picked up her luggage and baggage and said goodbye to her, "Taozi, I'm getting on the train. When I get my home leave, I'll come back to see you."
"Yuanchun, have a safe trip."
Taozi choked.
"Goodbye, Taozi."
"Taozi, go back quickly."
Yuanchun waved to her and squeezed into the train among the crowd.
In the carriage, everyone was carrying large and small bags and crowded in the corridor, making it impossible to move.
Yuanchun took great pains to finally find her seat.
Looking at the middle-aged woman who was sitting with her eyes closed as if she was asleep, Yuanchun pushed her shoulder and said, "Auntie, wake up. You are sitting in the wrong seat."
"Auntie, Auntie..."
The middle-aged woman was sleeping soundly and could not be woken up no matter how Yuanchun called her.
Yuanchun lowered her head and looked at the middle-aged woman's single cloth shoe with a patch on it. She stepped on it and the middle-aged woman screamed in pain and jumped up from her seat.
