Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

"It seems like you have something to ask of me today! I guess Yan Laokou has never bled so much since he was a child."

After Zhang Minghui asked Yan Fugui to sit down, he served him some tea and the two chatted idly.

Yan Fugui put the bag on the chair on his right.

Seeing that Yan Fugui had not spoken yet, Zhang Minghui did not ask him, but talked to Yan Fugui about all the recent hot gossip.

Yan Fugui really couldn't hold it in any longer, and with a wry smile on his face, he spoke unnaturally.

"Minghui, Uncle Three is coming today! He wants your help with something."

Zhang Minghui picked up the tea and took a sip, then spoke slowly.

"Uncle, you are my elder, just tell me if you have any questions. As long as I, Zhang Minghui, can do it, I will definitely help you. If I can't do it, I will tell you immediately."

Hearing Zhang Minghui's words, Yan Fugui showed a gratified smile on his face and opened his mouth to speak.

"Minghui, you see, the Rural Re-education Campaign is about to begin, and two people from our family will have to go. Jiefang and Jiekuang, the two children are still young. I am worried about them being so far away."

"Can you help Uncle San think of a way to arrange for them to live in the suburbs of Sijiu City? That way, the family can take care of them closer."

Zhang Minghui slapped his thigh and spoke in surprise.

"Oh, Uncle San, you didn't do this right! You asked me to do this, but you asked the wrong person. You should go to the director of the subdistrict office!"

Yan Fugui smiled bitterly and began to speak.

"Minghui, to be honest, the new director is not easy to deal with. I tried to communicate with him, but he rejected me outright."

"I have no other choice but to come to you, right?"

Zhang Minghui also had a worried look on his face and spoke with a sigh.

"Uncle, isn't it? When Director Wang was here, I could still help her out, but now she's gone. There's nothing you can do about this matter!"

After hearing this, Yan Fugui's face was filled with disappointment.

After he got the news yesterday, he asked someone to find out. This time it was a direct order from above, either he should retire and let his children take over, or he should just send his children away.

There is no other way.

Zhang Minghui saw Yan Fugui’s disappointed expression and began to comfort him.

"Uncle, this is the country's policy, we can't stop it. You don't have to worry about it. Let Jiefang and his brothers go to the countryside to exercise. It's a good thing."

Yan Fugui said with a sad face.

"Minghui, I know that's the truth. But the neighborhood office didn't tell me when I could come back! If I could come back after a few years, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

"What if I can't come back? If I settle down in the countryside, won't my life be wasted?"

Zhang Minghui was speechless. It was really hard to say.

Who knows what the higher-ups are thinking? Many things have changed, and I don’t know if the time to return to the city will be the same as I remember.

Seeing that Zhang Minghui remained silent, Yan Fugui's face darkened and he said goodbye.

Zhang Minghui was about to offer some advice when he saw Yan Fugui pick up the bag. He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and cursed in his heart.

"You are such a stingy guy, you brought the gift and took it back before leaving. Who would dare to help someone like you?"

When Yan Fugui stepped out of the Zhang family's door, Zhang Minghui couldn't help laughing. Then he thought, Yan Fugui was well prepared! After entering the house, he didn't mention the gift at all.

This is a two-pronged preparation.

If Zhang Minghui offered a solution, he would keep the gift. If Zhang Minghui didn't help, he wouldn't mention the gift.

Zhang Minghui curled his lips and smiled.

This was a very poorly done job.

Even if he could do it, Zhang Minghui would not help. This is not Yan Fugui's business. If he helps, you will just wait and see!

The people of Nanluoguxiang would have to break down the door of Zhang Minghui's house, so there would be no hope of a peaceful life. If you don't help, the neighbors will be very angry with you.

The following four-nine cities were in turmoil, and the common people were like crazy. They began to buy work positions at high prices, or let their children take over their jobs.

Those with good family background can apply to join the army.

Those with bad backgrounds were directly arranged by the streets to join the queues all over the country.

The price of workstations is like chicken blood, rising non-stop. Even so, there are more people than porridge, and those with less money want to go back and negotiate. When the negotiation is completed.

The workstations were sold out long ago.

Some middlemen who made a lot of money were grinning so hard that their mouths reached the back of their heads.

The workers in the steel mill talked about going to the countryside every day. The factory also laid off a lot of temporary workers, as long as they were of the right age and were members of the third batch.

No one can escape.

Li Huaide’s office is almost trampled these days.

There were countless people who gave gifts and begged for mercy. But this time Li Huaide did not give in. At this critical moment, everyone had to be treated equally.

Don't let your opponents get a hold of you.

Zhang Minghui watched his neighbors busy themselves with various tricks and connections, but he had no other options. He could only wait for his children to be sent on trains to travel to different parts of the country.

Zhang Minghui went to the station several times on purpose. He had no other thoughts but to see the unique scene of this era.

Just like what is described in the TV series, the soldiers all wore big red flowers. Most of the men and women standing below were wearing military uniforms to see them off.

They were pleased to see their own children join the army to defend their country. There were only sporadic sobs at the scene, and the men and women in the carriage had proud expressions.

Yes!

It is not easy to join the army in this era. If you don’t have a good family background, you won’t even be given a chance to join the army.

"One person serving in the army brings honor to the whole family."

Unlike being a soldier, the scene of joining the production team in the countryside was filled with crying. The crying of men and women in various work uniforms could be heard everywhere.

Scattered in the sky above the train station.

The young children sitting on the train looked indifferent. They had a look of longing on their faces, thinking that their parents were worrying too much.

There were eloquent people in the carriage who organized everyone to sing revolutionary songs and shout loud slogans.

“The world is vast and there is much to be accomplished.”

"We are all intellectuals. We can endure no hardship in the countryside. We will help the villagers plant rice in the fields. We will help them increase production and live a happy life."

The uneasy mood of many young people was slightly relieved.

Yes!

We are all intellectuals, and we want to help rural people all over the country. Under our guidance, they will surely live a good life.

They rushed to the north and south of the motherland with full of passion.

I don’t know when I will return after this trip.
