Chapter 179 The Educated Female Youth of the Time 4
Chu Yuan’s grandfather is an old revolutionary. Although he has retired now, he still has very powerful connections.
It was his help that enabled Mother Chu to work in the military hospital when she first joined the army. Of course, she had real talent and skills, otherwise, with Grandpa Chu's character, he would definitely not let her take this backdoor.
Now the problem of supplies that I was originally worried about has been mostly solved. Looking at the amount of this cotton, it is more than enough to make a quilt.
Chu's mother quickly found a few aunts with good craftsmanship in the family compound, brought cloth and cotton to their homes, and asked them to make a 6-jin quilt and two sets of work clothes within five days.
Since Chu's mother was generous and gave each person half a pound of brown sugar, the aunts all patted their chests and told her not to worry.
After that, I gave her some miscellaneous items, such as the washbasin and kettle, all of which she took with her.
Chu Yuan admired Chu's mother's urgency very much. She packed two ten-kilogram packages in just one night.
Both of these were prepared to be mailed to her. In order for them to arrive in Jilin Province before her, Chu's father asked the guards to mail them early the next morning.
The remaining things, except the quilt, were all small items, and Chu's mother stuffed them into a wicker box for her, which would be convenient to carry when the time comes.
In the next few days, Chu Yuan started visiting neighbors.
The custom here is to inform relatives and friends of any important news about the children.
Going to the countryside was of course one of them, but Chu's parents didn't have time during the day, so Chu Yuan had to ride his bicycle door to door to notify everyone.
The first places she went to were her second and third brothers' homes. When the two brothers heard that she was going to the countryside, they became anxious and stuffed all the tickets that the family had saved into her hands.
Chu Yuan refused for a long time, saying that everything was ready and nothing was missing.
Moreover, her two older brothers have children at home, especially the third brother, who just gave birth to his second child at the beginning of this year, and gave all the food to her children.
When the two brothers saw that she didn't want the ticket, they started counting the money. As expected of brothers from the same mother, they were equally generous and each of them stuffed two hundred yuan into her pocket.
This time she couldn't refuse it no matter how hard she tried and had to accept the huge sum of money.
The following steps were exactly the same. After entering a house, a tug-of-war would begin. In the end, Chu Yuan would always be defeated and would go to the next house with the money and tickets.
I felt like a monk begging for alms, knocking on every door and saying, "Donor, I have to go to the countryside. Please give me some money." Then I left with a thick stack of money.
But this is the custom here, and she didn't take the money for nothing. If something happens to other families in the future, Chu's father and mother will have to return it.
After running around for two days, Chu Yuan returned to his room and began to count his spoils.
Wow, the total amount is one thousand five hundred yuan, and there is a stack of various bills, all of which are valid throughout the country.
So she became rich overnight by going to the countryside?
When Chu's father and mother came back in the evening, Chu Yuan handed the money to them and said, "Mom and Dad, this is the money that the uncles and aunts gave me these days. Let me take it to the countryside."
Mother Chu counted and found that it was about the same as she expected.
It was impossible for a little girl like Chu Yuan to carry such a large sum of money with her, so her mother gave her a passbook with a deposit of 2,000 yuan in it.
"Mom will give you another 500 to make it even. You should keep the two thousand dollars for yourself. Don't take it out unless it's necessary."
Then he counted out two hundred yuan from the stack of money in his hand and said, "Take these two hundred yuan with you. You can use them to pay for your daily expenses."
This is all the money Chu Yuan needs to take with her to the countryside. Of course, after arriving in Jilin Province, Chu's father and mother will send her money every month.
This is also a kind of deterrent, which is equivalent to telling everyone that Chu Yuan has a strong family background, so that people dare not bully her.
As parents, this is all we can do. Chu Yuan will have to take care of himself after he goes to the countryside.
After two or three years, they will use their connections to transfer their daughter back.
The last two days passed in a flash. Chu Yuan has now said goodbye to his parents and boarded the train to Jilin Province.
The luggage in her hands was more than she expected. In addition to the wicker box and a bag containing a quilt and some clothes, there was also a shoulder bag full of food.
These were all brought to her by her two sisters-in-law at the station, asking her to take them with her on the journey. In addition, Chu's mother had also prepared a lot of food, so her bag was filled to the brim.
Because Chu Yuan was the first one to set out among this group of educated youth, there were not many people traveling with her. In this carriage, besides her, there were only two men and three women who were going to the countryside in Jilin Province.
Chu Yuan asked one by one, but since everyone was going to different places in the countryside, there was no more chatting.
Lianshi is not far from Jilin Province, and it only takes 8 hours by train to get there.
After getting off the bus, Chu Yuan heard a loud speaker in the distance calling for the educated youth to be picked up.
She walked over with her bags and saw a tractor. A man in his thirties stood next to it. "Hello, brother. Is this the place for the educated youth going to Baiyun Village?"
"Yes, you are Chu Yuan, just get in the car and wait."
Chu Yuan was somewhat curious about how this person knew his name: "Brother, how do you know my name is Chu Yuan?"
"You are the only educated youth going to Baiyun Village this time."
While waiting, Chu Yuan took out a cigarette and handed it to the brother who was driving, wanting to ask him about the situation in the commune.
This elder brother was also a talkative person. When he saw the cigarette, his eyes lit up. He quickly took it, put it behind his ear, and began to tell her about Baiyun Village.
"Girl, I think you are lucky. Baiyun Village is the richest village in Hongxing County. Do you see this tractor? It belongs to Baiyun Village."
Then he added: "You can call me Brother Dajun. My father is the village chief of Baiyun Village. You can go to him if you have any problem."
Chu Yuan thought that this was like finding a backer for himself, so he quickly took out another meat bun from his bag and said, "Brother Dajun, let me fill my stomach first. Can you tell me about the situation of the educated youth center in our village?"
Liu Dajun was drooling as he looked at the bun in front of him that was bigger than his palm, and he even seemed to smell meat.
He took the bun and took a bite. Wow, it was really a meat-filled bun!
Who is this female educated youth? She either gives cigarettes or meat buns.
Liu Dajun, who had eaten the food, was grateful for the kindness he received, so he told Chu Yuan in detail about the situation at the educated youth camp.
The Baiyun Village Youth Educated Center is located at the foot of Dashi Mountain. It was originally the house of an old hunter in the village. Later, the old hunter was taken to the city by his son, and the house was bought by the village to be used as a youth educated center.
There are three main rooms in total, and now there are four female educated youth and three male educated youth living in them. After Chu Yuan goes there, he will have to sleep in one room with two of the female educated youth.
Chu Yuan was not used to living with others, so he asked, "Brother Dajun, is there any vacant house in the village? I want to rent one and move out to live alone."
