Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Xiao Zhanmin introduced his family, Zhao Jun, who was standing nearby, continued, "Okay, everyone knows Master Xiao now."

"Today, we have a meeting for the whole hospital and time is limited, so I won't go on any further. If you have any questions, please ask Master Xiao later!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jun made a gesture to Master Xiao, asking him to go back. After seeing Zhao Jun's gesture, Xiao Zhanmin did not hesitate and immediately returned to his family.

After seeing Master Xiao go back, Zhao Jun continued, "Since the first thing has been discussed, let's start with the second thing!"

Secretary Zhao took out a small notebook from his pocket and said to everyone, "Dear neighbors, the second thing I want to say is about the street office and give you some suggestions!"

"What is this suggestion? Let me read it to you now. It is about the movement of urban youth going to the countryside..."

When Chen Feng heard the document Zhao Jun read, his mind seemed to explode.

It is not Chen Feng's fault. He did not expect that this policy, which would affect almost an entire generation of people in the future - going to the countryside to work and study - would be implemented now.

Chen Feng's face turned pale as paper in an instant, as if he was struck by a bolt from the blue. He stared at the document in Zhao Jun's hand with wide eyes in disbelief, and an indescribable shock and fear surged in his heart.

"How could this happen? Is it going to be implemented so soon?" Chen Feng thought to himself in his mind, his body trembling slightly involuntarily.

The scenes he had seen in movies and TV dramas kept emerging in his mind: educated youth leaving the city and heading for the countryside.

They experienced harsh living conditions, heavy labor, and cultural differences and conflicts with local farmers.

These images made him feel extremely heavy, as if he could sense the inner struggle and pain of the educated youth at that time.

"Educated youth..." Chen Feng murmured the word softly, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

This word represents a special historical period and carries the youthful memories of countless people.

It is both a symbol of an era and a microcosm of a social phenomenon.

Although Chen Feng did not experience that era personally, he has a certain understanding of the educated youth movement through various literary and artistic works.

He knew that this movement, which had lasted for more than ten years, had changed the fate of an entire generation of young people and brought them endless joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hate, and passion.

And now, he is going to witness this history personally. Although he will not be a part of it, it still makes him feel unprecedented nervous and uneasy.

Chen Feng's hands clenched unconsciously, his nails dug deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain. He stared into the distance, as if trying to find the answer.

After a long time, Chen Feng realized that he might be too nervous. He had nothing to do in the house, so couldn't he just watch the fun from the side?

But there is still a problem now, that is, what should we do with Jin Ming?

This gave Chen Feng a headache. After all, Jin Ming had just graduated from junior high school. Even if he went to high school, he would just be in the third batch. By that time, both Jin Ming's age and academic qualifications would meet the requirements to become an educated youth.

What's more important is that Jin Ming's family background is not very good. If he is really assigned to the frontier or the countryside as an educated youth, considering that he can't even light a fire now, wouldn't he be doomed if he becomes an educated youth?

In fact, Chen Feng was also to blame for this, as it was Chen Feng who brought the habits of later generations to this era.

In later life, Chen Feng felt that a child like Jin Ming's age should study hard and ignore what is happening outside.

Because in the future, only learning is the most important thing. Jin Ming can learn other abilities by himself when he grows up and enters society.

So Chen Feng subconsciously thought that Jin Ming just needed to study hard and didn't need to worry about other things.

However, he did not realize that although children of this era cannot help shoulder too many responsibilities at home, they will still do what they can for the family in their daily lives.

Jin Ling was very touched when she saw that Chen Feng did not even ask him to help with the household affairs in order to train his younger brother.

She felt that Chen Feng really had good intentions. In order for Jin Ming to have a better future, he even let Jin Ming help with some work.

Jin Ling has told Jin Ming more than once that she should remember Chen Feng's kindness, study hard, and repay Chen Feng.

So every time when Jin Ming wanted to help, Jin Ling would always stop him and tell him not to waste time and should focus all his energy on studying.

As a result, Jin Ming rarely had the opportunity to do housework or help with things in the store, and instead devoted herself wholeheartedly to studying.

No matter what Chen Feng was thinking, Zhao Jun, who was standing behind the eight-immortals table, never stopped reading the documents.

His voice was clear and firm, and he read every word carefully. Although the document was long, he did not show any impatience or negligence.

As Zhao Jun recited, Chen Feng gradually realized that there were some deviations in his understanding of the time spent in the countryside.

He originally thought that the movement began between 1968 and 1979, but it was not until today after listening to Zhao Jun's recitation that he realized that going to the countryside to work and study had actually begun a long time ago.

On August 9 last year, the educated youth in the old city spontaneously formed a youth support team for land reclamation, and resolutely went to the remote border town of the Great Northern Wilderness to reclaim wasteland.

Today, this pioneering team has achieved fruitful results and has become a remarkable example.

Therefore, the government decided to promote these successful cases to ease the employment pressure in the city.

By setting examples and carrying out extensive publicity, the government hopes to mobilize more educated young people to join the ranks of going to the countryside and mountains, and encourage them to take the initiative to go to rural areas with difficult conditions to receive training and grow.

In this way, not only can the employment problem in the city be solved, but the tenacity and adaptability of young people can also be cultivated.

At present, the country is only carrying out mobilization work and has not yet forced the educated youth to go to the countryside.

However, Chen Feng was well aware of the scale of this educated youth movement, which would see more than 10 million educated youth being sent to the countryside.

This means that every child in an urban family will face this fate.

This figure is shocking, revealing the tremendous changes in society at that time and its profound impact on the younger generation.

A complex emotion surged in Chen Feng's heart, and he realized that he had to face reality.

He thought of the young people who were about to leave the city and spend a long time in the countryside, experiencing unknown challenges and difficulties.

As for the others, Chen Feng could only remain silent and helpless. He did not have such great ability and could not help so many people. But for Jin Ming, Chen Feng still wanted to keep him in Sijiu City as much as possible.

While Chen Feng was thinking seriously, Zhao Jun finally finished reading the document in his hand.

After he finished reading, he looked away from the paper, glanced slowly at everyone, and then spoke in a calm and firm tone.

"I have read the street instructions. Does anyone have any questions or misunderstandings about the contents?"

"If you have any, feel free to ask me questions and I will do my best to answer them!"

At this time, Liu Haizhong, who was sitting next to him, heard Zhao Jun's words. He quickly turned his gaze to Zhao Jun and asked without hesitation.

"Leader, I would like to ask, what exactly is the standard for educated youth? What kind of talents do we need to meet the requirements?"

When Zhao Jun heard Liu Haizhong's question, he immediately responded, "Regarding the criteria for educated youth, first of all, they must be young people, aged fourteen or above."

"Secondly, these people must have a certain level of literacy, at least be able to recognize and read."

"Of course, it would be even better if they are junior high school or high school graduates. This will ensure that they have a sufficient level of knowledge to adapt to job requirements."

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something important.

He nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Zhao Jun's point of view, but did not express any opinion.

Then he sat there quietly, lost in thought, making people wonder what he was thinking about.

At the same time, Yan Fugui, who was standing by, saw that Liu Haizhong was silent, so he took the opportunity to ask Zhao Jun a question.

"Secretary Zhao, I have a question for you. Is this going to the countryside compulsory or voluntary?"

"In addition, if they choose to go to the countryside, will the subdistrict office provide some compensation to these educated youth who are about to go to the countryside?"

When Chen Feng heard what Yan Fugui said, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is indeed Yan Laoxi! He is really obsessed with money and still thinking about compensation!

However, this also made him realize that for many families, going to the countryside may mean financial difficulties and inconvenience in life. Therefore, they hope to get some compensation to relieve the pressure.

Zhao Jun smiled slightly when he heard Yan Fugui's words, and then said, "This is voluntary going. The street just mobilized everyone, and did not force them to go!"

"As for compensation, there will definitely be some! The street hasn't said what the compensation is, so I don't know either. I'll keep an eye on it, and I'll tell everyone when I find out!"

When Yan Fugui heard Zhao Jun say that the compensation had not been decided yet, he stopped talking and, like Liu Haizhong, started pretending to be a clay Buddha.

After the two old men finished asking, no one else in the yard asked any more questions.

When Zhao Jun saw that no one in the courtyard spoke, he knew it was time to end the meeting, so he spoke to everyone.

"Okay, since there are no more questions, let's end today's school meeting here! If anyone wants to go to the countryside, you can come to my room to sign up later."

"Okay everyone, let's adjourn the meeting and go home and rest early!"

After saying that, Zhao Jun was the first to leave the venue. After seeing Zhao Jun leave, Chen Feng also stood up and walked towards the backyard.
