Kapitel 14: On the Eve of Going to the Village (2)
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
After Lu Xiaoxiao put the books away, she left the bookstore. As she walked, she wondered if she still wanted to stay in Jing City. If she didn't stay here, where could she go?
Lu Xiaoxiao was very lost. She suddenly saw the state-owned restaurant in front of her. It was almost lunchtime. There was a saying that said, "There's nothing that a barbecue can't solve. If there is, then two meals will solve it."
In this era, if there was no barbecue, it should be the same if she were to eat in a state-run restaurant!
When she entered the state-owned restaurant and saw that there was quite a lot of food that day, she ordered dumplings and braised pork and spent two yuan and a coupon for a catty of meat.
She thought to herself that these dishes felt very cheap, but according to the cost of living in this era, it was quite extravagant.
After eating her fill, Lu Xiaoxiao saw the remaining meat and dumplings. Using the cloth bag as a cover, she took out a lunch box from her space and put them all in. Thinking of what had happened previously, although she was not in a bad mood, she did not want to continue shopping outside.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao transported into the space. She planned to calm down and think about what to do next.
Suddenly, Lu Xiaoxiao had an idea. Wasn't this era filled with the craze of going to the mountains and villages to support the construction of the country? She could go to the countryside. Although the conditions in the countryside were worse than in the city, it was much safer than in the city. With her small body, she would probably be finished if anything happened.
Lu Xiaoxiao did not know what conditions she had to meet to go to the countryside. Before she was reborn, she knew that in this era, every family had to let at least one child go to the countryside. If the other children did not have a job, they would also need to go to the countryside after they graduated. There was no clear age limit. Thinking about how she was eight years old now and had no education or job, and she was the only one left at home, did that satisfy the requirements to go to the countryside?
It seemed that she had to go to the place in charge of this matter in the afternoon to understand the situation so that she could arrange what to do next.
She looked at the time and saw that it was already two in the afternoon, so she was about to go out and locked the door and walked towards the office.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the location, she saw a woman in green military clothes sitting at the table writing something. She walked forward and asked, "Auntie, if I want to go to the countryside, do I have to register here?"
The other party looked up and was surprised to see her. Then, she said, "Whose child are you? This is not a place to play. Hurry up and go home."
Hearing the other party say this, she could only reply helplessly, "Auntie, I'm the only one left in my family. My parents have lost their lives. I just want to contribute to the country like my parents. I know I'm still young, but I just want to go to the countryside to support the construction."
Seeing her say this, the other party revealed a pained expression and said, "As expected of the children of two good comrades. You're really enlightened. But have you really decided? Life in the countryside is much harder than here. You're still young and I'm afraid you won't be able to take it. Why don't you come over after two years? I'll definitely settle it for you."
Lu Xiaoxiao thought to herself that after two years, she wouldn't know if she would be harmed like the original owner's parents. However, she didn't show it on her face. She still said firmly, "Auntie, I'm not afraid of hardship. I want to be someone useful to the country like Mom and Dad. I just don't know what requirements I have in order to go to the countryside."
Through the other party's introduction, she understood that the restrictions for going to the countryside were not as strict as later on. As long as one was willing to go to the countryside, the country would even subsidize their resettlement fees.
Lu Xiaoxiao understood that she met the requirements to go to the countryside, so she filled in the form with the help of the auntie. The location she chose was the Victory Production Team in the Dongsan Province. The reason was that Dongsan Province was rich in fertile land and the conditions should not be too bad! Later on, her future self would only want to say to herself, "Child, you're still too naive."
