Chapter 178 The Educated Female Youth of the Time 3
This is also the reason why in the previous life, as soon as the original owner graduated from high school, Chu's father was eager to find a partner for her. If his daughter could marry a soldier under his command, she could continue to stay in Lianshi Military Region.
Chu Yuan is going to graduate in two months, and his father and mother are already thinking about this matter in their minds.
After dinner, the family sat in the yard and chatted.
Father Chu suddenly said, "Yuanyuan, have you thought about what you want to do after graduation?"
Chu Yuan knew that he was worried about her going to the countryside. Although she didn't want to go, compared to choosing to get married at a young age just to avoid going to the countryside, she would rather choose to go to the countryside to train for a few years.
Firstly, because I have my own space, I don’t have to worry about going hungry.
Secondly, you can stay away from the male and female protagonists and live your own life as mentioned in the original owner's wish.
"If there is no other way, I will have to go to the countryside. But mom and dad don't worry. I can take care of myself."
Chu's father and mother were not worried about his child's self-care ability. What they were worried about was the heavy physical labor after going to the countryside.
Yuanyuan has never done any heavy work since he was a child, so how can he bear going to the countryside?
But no matter how worried you are, what is coming will still come.
Two months later, Chu Yuan got his high school diploma and officially became an unemployed vagrant.
Just like in his previous life, Chu's father offered to introduce her to a captain under his command.
Chu Yuan refused without even thinking: "Dad, I don't want to get married yet, especially I don't want to marry a random man just to avoid going to the countryside."
Chu's father explained for a long time how outstanding Li Minghui was, but Chu Yuan was unmoved and even started packing his luggage to go to the countryside.
Seeing that his daughter really had no intention of doing so, Mr. Chu had no choice but to give up and go back to think of other solutions.
But there was no room for maneuver regarding going to the countryside. If people from the neighborhood committee had not been afraid of Chu's father's power, they would have come to the house by now.
Rather than keep dragging it out and getting reported in the end, it is better to sign up proactively. In this way, you may even be able to choose the place yourself.
Chu Yuan persuaded his parents, and he went to the neighborhood committee early the next morning to fill in his name.
At this time, there were only five people who took the initiative to sign up, and there were still vacancies in the rural locations on the list. The people in the neighborhood committee were also willing to give face to Teacher Chu and suggested that Chu Yuan choose a place by himself.
Chu Yuan had already discussed with his parents in advance that it would be best if the place to go to the countryside was near Liaoning Province, and it would be best if he could go to the neighboring Jilin Province.
There is a place on the list, which is Baiyun Village, Yi County, Jilin Province.
"Sister Zhang, do you think it's okay for me to choose this place?"
"Jilin Province? Sure, sister. The conditions there are tough, and many outsiders don't want to come. In fact, those who go to the countryside in Jilin Province are the smart ones. Just write your name behind this."
After writing the name, going to the countryside was settled.
Chu Yuan also received a notice to go to the countryside and a 50-yuan subsidy from Sister Zhang.
The date for going to the countryside written on the notice was five days later, which was indeed a bit tight and there was no time to prepare many things.
Chu Yuan took out two pieces of White Rabbit candies from his pocket and stuffed them into Sister Zhang's hand: "Thank you, Sister. I'll go back and prepare them first."
Sister Zhang took the candy and responded with a smile: "Hey, go back, sister, remember to meet at the train station in five days."
"Okay miss."
When Chu Yuan returned home, her father and mother had already gone to work. She took out a piece of paper and began to list the things she needed to bring to the countryside.
First of all, I have to make a new quilt. The winter in Jilin Province is much colder than in Lianshi, so I have to bring cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes with me.
She also had to cut some work cloth and make a set of working clothes. The bras and shirts in her closet were not suitable for working in the fields.
After writing a list, Chu Yuan began to prepare.
To make a quilt, you definitely need cotton and cloth, but these are rare items and must be purchased with tickets.
Chu Yuan simply rode his bike out for a while and came back with two big bags.
It was filled with cotton, cloth, kettles, malted milk and other hard-to-buy items. These were all the inventory in her space.
Ever since she had visited the world of historical literature, she had consciously started to collect these in case of emergency.
When she returned to the staff quarters, a few aunts were chatting outside. When they saw her riding back on her bike, they all greeted her.
"Yuanyuan is back. What did she bring? Two such big bags?"
The person who asked this question was Aunt Xu. She didn't have bad intentions, but she liked to pry into other people's private affairs.
"Aunt Xu, I signed up to go to the countryside, so I went to my grandfather's house. These are the supplies they prepared for me."
When Aunt Xu heard that she was going to the countryside, she suddenly became interested: "Yuanyuan is going to the countryside? When are you leaving?"
"We're leaving in five days, so time is running out. I won't chat with you aunts for now. I'll go back and pack my things."
The conversation between Chu Yuan and Aunt Xu became known to everyone within the afternoon. Even the dogs in the staff quarters knew that Chu Yuan would be going to the countryside in five days.
This is also one of Chu Yuan’s purposes.
Knowing that Aunt Xu was a person who loved to spread rumors, Chu Yuan still told her about his trip to the countryside, hoping to use her mouth to tell everyone.
Let those who are planning to use this as an excuse to make a fuss give up on this idea.
However, she overlooked one point. When Chu's father and mother were getting off work, they heard people saying on the way that their daughter would leave in five days.
They were both very confused. Didn’t they just sign up today? How come there were only five days left?
I walked and ran all the way and met him at the door.
"Yuanyuan, why did I hear that you will be leaving in five days?"
"Yes, that's what's written on the notice to go to the countryside."
The Chu couple were in a dilemma. Why were they only given five days to prepare? This was not enough time.
"Mom, come and see if the cotton and cloth I bought today are enough to make a quilt?"
Mother Chu finally reacted and was a little surprised by the pile of things on the bed: "Where did this come from? How could you get so much at once? Did you go to that place?"
That place, of course, refers to the black market, and everyone in the family knows it.
Chu Yuan also agreed with this guess. There was no other reason. Apart from that place, she really couldn't think of any other excuse to take out so many things.
"How can you be so brave, kid? What will happen if you get caught?"
"Don't worry, Mom. I'm very careful. Whenever anyone asks me, I'll tell them that it was my grandfather who got it."
Only then did Chu's mother feel relieved. Her father-in-law had the ability to do so, and it was reasonable for him to prepare some supplies for his granddaughter who was going to the countryside.
