Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 327 Going to the Countryside

Zuo Aijun and Zuo Hongxia took the candies, but there was not much joy on their faces.

Zuo Zhizhi seemed completely oblivious to this, and continued to carry her things. She placed a pound of meat in the kitchen, then said to the people outside, "Our family's conditions aren't that bad now, so don't be reluctant to part with it. Eat the meat as you like, but don't just let yourself suffer!"

Zuo Zhizhi took out several things in a row, but did not ask anything, which made Xie Hehua very dissatisfied.

But she could still wait, but Zuo Hongxia couldn't bear it anymore.

"Sister, we are going to the countryside!"

Zuo Zhizhi didn't expect that she would come back for this matter, but when she thought about it carefully, it was not impossible.

The twins Zuo Aijun and Zuo Hongxia were very popular, so they started school a year earlier than Zuo Zhizhi.

In addition, the current policy is very strict. Each family can only keep one child, and the others must go to the countryside.

Otherwise, you must find a job to stay.

But in this situation, how could it be so easy to find a job? Not to mention that finding jobs for both of them at once was even more difficult.

Their families would definitely not be willing to let the two of them go to the countryside, so they had to think of other ways.

According to the current situation, Zuo Aijun may take over Xie Hehua's job, but in this case, Zuo Hongxia will have no hope at all.

Secondly, it is hard to say whether this matter can proceed smoothly, after all, Zuo Aiguo’s wife Feng Duoduo does not have a job yet.

As the only son left by his side, he must also pay attention to the daughter-in-law's thoughts, so this matter may not be that simple.

Sure enough, things became much simpler after Zuo Hongxia spoke. Several people talked about what happened, and they all said one thing, both explicitly and implicitly: they hoped Zuo Zhizhi could find a job for them.

Zuo Zhizhi was speechless, but pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I have no choice. You know what happened in our family before. I barely got my job! Even my sister-in-law's job is also very mediocre now, isn't it? That was a reward for giving birth to twins!"

Seeing that Zuo Zhizhi refused to give in, the family was disappointed, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they couldn't force others to give up their jobs.

You have to know that this is a job found by the husband's family. If people from your wife's family want it, it depends on whether others will gossip about it.

Therefore, no one asked for too much, but just said nice things and asked Zuo Zhizhi to try to find it. It didn't matter even if she couldn't find it, as long as she had the intention.

It was just at this time that Zuo Zhizhi discovered that new words had appeared above both of their heads, and she was afraid that there was something wrong with their identities.

To be honest, although many people in the world found jobs in the city in the 1980s, a considerable number of them were educated youth who went to the countryside.

After all, you must have a job in the city, which is quite difficult, so going to the countryside is the best way.

However, there were various problems with going to the countryside as an educated youth. For example, although my classmates had already prepared themselves mentally for the miserable life in the countryside, they only realized when the time came that they were not prepared enough.

Working in the countryside is not just an ordinary job. Apart from anything else, just working in the fields every day is something that no normal person can bear.

Even if you work during the day in the city, you still have to do housework at night, but it is relatively not that tiring.

But everything becomes different when you go to the countryside.

Not to mention the conditions in the countryside, just doing farm work every day is something that those who are not used to it would not be able to endure for a day.

In addition, supplies in the countryside were relatively scarce, and people could only rely on the distribution of food by each brigade at the end of the year. If they wanted to eat some meat, they could only rely on help from their families.

This was indeed a bolt from the blue for them who had always been spoiled.

But at this point, there is nothing we can do.

But in order to watch the fun, Zuo Zhizhi still agreed to send them some things frequently, at least to take a closer look at these stories in the countryside.

Zuo Zhizhi was just preparing things for her trip to the countryside, but when she returned again, she found that something had changed at home.

Zuo Aijun and Zuo Hongxia, who had previously been unwilling to go to the countryside and wanted their families to find them jobs, broke with their behavior this time and were willing to go to the countryside on their own initiative.

They said it very nicely: "This is the national policy, we have no way to change it. In this case, we are willing to take the initiative to go to the countryside, but the conditions in the countryside are quite difficult, and we need a lot of help from our families!"

Although these words sounded like polite remarks, Feng Duoduo felt very happy to hear them.

Although they need help, what they give is only a small amount after all. Besides, who can help the educated youth who go to the countryside for an entire year?

After helping out for a while at the beginning, everything in the house is yours.

But Xie Hehua was not so easily fooled. She thought that Feng Duoduo was the one causing trouble, so she wanted Zuo Zhizhi to ask what was going on.

Zuo Zhizhi had no objection to this. He was also very interested anyway, so he took Zuo Hongxia out.

Zuo Hongxia was absent-minded. Perhaps he also knew that Zuo Zhizhi had something to ask him this time, but the two of them walked all the way to the post office without saying a word.

Zuo Zhizhi took her things out of the post office and pulled Zuo Hongxia aside.

This time, what was received was a package and a letter from Liu Lili. There was no change in the contents of the package, so there was no need to check. So Zuo Zhizhi took out the letter and started reading.

Although Zuo Hongxia was a little curious, she just stayed quietly by the side and didn't say anything.

He waited until Zuo Zhizhi finished reading the letter before he sighed unconsciously.

Zuo Hongxia, who was sitting opposite, could no longer sit still and asked curiously, "Second sister, what's wrong?"

Zuo Zhizhi didn't say anything, but handed the letter in her hand to Zuo Hongxia.

Zuo Hongxia was a little hesitant, but still took the letter and took a quick look at it, but her expression didn't look very good after seeing it.

"What is this letter...?"

Zuo Zhizhi shook her head. "Who else could it be? It's my former classmate. She's been in the countryside for a while now. The conditions there are tough, so she often exchanges things with fellow villagers and sends them to me. I also buy some things she can use from the city and send them to her."

The two people exchanged supplies not once or twice. After all, this was also a way to explain the source of the supplies.

As long as you say it was sent by a classmate, no one will take it too seriously.

If Zuo Zhizhi wasn't so familiar with the other classmates, she would really like to do this with every classmate, so that she would have a reason to take out things from all over the world without being discovered.

Zuo Hongxia frowned and bit her lips lightly, as if she was in deep thought.
