Chapter 174: Going to the Countryside
Time passed quickly, He Bing, He Qian, He Xiao and He Jun received their junior high school diplomas and were already in their third year of high school.

With so many people teaching, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have learned to this level. It is so chaotic outside, and Cai Wenqing doesn't dare to let the children go out to have fun. The children are still young and have not formed their own values. If they are taken advantage of by others, there will be countless troubles.

The He family's children have become real homebodies. They also have emotions. Even He Qian and He Yu, the two favorites of the family, are not allowed to go out. At most, they can only play in the compound.

There were countless young people outside, all kinds of people, fighting, chatting, and so on. He Yukai had a headache just watching them. No matter how the situation changed, the children could not go out.

Now that we have learned what we need to learn, an initiative to accept the poor and lower-middle peasants in education has swept across the country.

After discussing with Cai Wenqing, He Yukai decided to volunteer. The advantage of taking the initiative is that there are many options to choose from.

There is another benefit. Given He Yukai and Cai Wenqing's identities, volunteering on their own initiative shows that they have good awareness.

Cai Wenqing is also the director of the Women's Federation in the factory, and He Yukai is the deputy factory director. Although they no longer have any decision-making power, they are leaders after all. They take the initiative to respond, play a good leading role, and bring a lot of convenience to the work of the street office.

It was only August 68, and He Yukai knew that in December, an activity would begin to send million educated youth to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants.

This time it is not just an initiative. The street office is carrying out tasks, so it is mandatory.

The superiors have their own considerations, and He Yukai also knows the significance of this activity, which is determined by the current situation, otherwise they would not take such a big action.

He Yukai made a prompt decision to send the three boys who met the requirements to Xiaoqing River. As for He Qian, it would be better to forget about it since she was a girl!

At that time, the compulsory system had not yet been implemented. If it had been implemented, the children of cadres would have no choice but to go to difficult places.

As for He Qian, she definitely doesn't need to go. Each family can leave behind at most one child, and it doesn't violate any rules.

Boys going through hardships and training will only benefit them in the future, not harm them. He Yukai meant that only when you know how the hard times came about, you will cherish them in the future, and will not end up in a weird situation where you can often eat mutton but cannot recognize sheep when you see them.

Cai Wenqing didn't know where He Yukai got the confidence from, and he was sure that the current Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside activities would become compulsory.

However, based on their trust in He Yukai, they finally agreed. As for He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e, they had no objection at all.

As the children grew up, they became more and more difficult to discipline. Most importantly, the situation outside and the changes in the farmland made them more and more worried. It would be better to go to the countryside. Even if there was a commotion there, it would not be so serious. In the eyes of farmers, food is the most important thing.

I won't just sit there and do nothing while the land is good. Farming will take up a lot of energy and time, so I won't have time to do anything else.

He Yukai went to the street office to get a certificate. Under the puzzled gaze of the street office director, after registering, he drove the children to Xiaoqing River.

Secretary Yang, Cai Wenqing's uncle, was also hired to provide resettlement for them. As the first batch of educated youth, they were of course well resettled.

Besides, they are relatives of Xiaoqinghe. The villagers are very welcoming. I have been there many times and know them all.

"You three remember, from now on you have to participate in the labor in the village, your uncle will make arrangements for you.

You are now the villagers of this village. You have to do whatever these uncles and brothers do every day. You are not allowed to refuse at all, otherwise you will starve!
As the saying goes, hard work brings rewards. You won't just sit there and watch these uncles and brothers work hard and eat for free, right?

Also, study hard and wait for the college entrance examination to resume. You still have to take the college entrance examination, so remember what I said."

He Yukai was worried about the children. They had never worked before and were now teenagers. If they didn't cooperate, the villagers here would be embarrassed to say anything to them but would definitely complain in their hearts.

The He family saved this place's life. During the three difficult years, if it weren't for He Yukai's suggestion, we wouldn't have gotten so much food. No one in this village starved to death in those three years, and the simple villagers are very nostalgic.

Because of this, children have to behave well.

"Dad (Uncle), we remember it"

The children are still looking forward to life in the countryside. After all, they grew up in the city. Although they have been here before, they came and left in a hurry. They will live here for several years in the future, so it seems quite good.

He Yukai is very confident about the safety of his children. They all have martial arts skills and have developed good habits over such a long time.

It's pretty good for several people to help each other and love each other.

He Qian and He Yu stayed at home. The policy was that only one child could be left at home. Boys could be sent out to exercise, but girls should be kept at home and taught personally.

When people in the compound heard that the He family sent their three children to the countryside, they were still very puzzled. They didn't know why He Yukai was so crazy to send the children to the countryside to suffer.

They had the impression that life in the countryside at that time was very hard, but they didn't understand why He Yukai was sent to the countryside.

Soon after, Old Man Li’s eldest granddaughter Li Zhen was also sent away, leaving Li Li with Old Man Li, which made everyone even more confused.

No one can understand what the He family is doing, but if you think you have a good relationship with them and want to ask for the inside story, they will all say they are responding to the initiative, and you won't be able to find any fault, so the matter will be left unresolved.

Only Qin Huairu believed that He Yukai would not do useless work, but her He family did not like him. Even if he asked Xu Damao, he did not get anything out of him. Even though Li Huaide could not stand her service and entanglement, he did not get any useful information.

The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She recalled what the He family had done over the years, and it seemed that they had always arranged things very well. She didn't want to guess anymore, and planned to follow the He family's example and send Banggeng and Xiaodang to Qinjia Village as well.

However, Qin Huairu's idea was strongly opposed by Jia Zhang and the two children, who thought that Qin Huairu was messing around. The He family renovated the house, so why don't you learn? Send the children to the countryside, and you learn very quickly.

Qin Huairu shook his head helplessly and finally had to give up, mainly because his eldest son was determined not to go to the countryside.

Now Qin Huairu is Director Li’s lover. If Director Li gives her some money and sex, it’s ok for her, but she can forget about anything else.

Ever since the Yi Zhonghai incident, Li Huaide has been wary of the people in their compound. When his father-in-law found out that He Yukai's family was being targeted, he criticized him harshly, leaving him with nowhere to vent his grievances, and he could only vent them on Qin Huairu.

Once, Qin Huairu saw Director Li was happy and wanted to flatter the He family, but was warned by Director Li in the end.

Afraid of being disliked by Li Huaide, Qin Huairu dared not act rashly again.

The reason why Xu Damao sent the children to the countryside was because he knew that He Yukai sent the children away and he immediately felt something was wrong.

He knew He Yukai too well and thought there must be something he didn't know.

He quickly went to He Yukai to inquire about the situation. He Yukai told Xu Damao to send the child to the countryside as soon as possible. If he was sent there at this time, he could be sent to a better place.

If it were next year, you probably wouldn't be able to go wherever you want. Of course, He Yukai didn't tell you the specific reason, he just said that he read the analysis in the newspaper.

Xu Damao knew He Yukai's abilities, so he sent Xu Damao's son Xu Ping to his hometown in the countryside without hesitation.

Xu Damao's uncle was still there. Qin Huairu became even more panicked when she heard that Xu Damao had also been sent away, but it was of no use.

He Yukai, Cai Wenqing and Lou Xiao'e would definitely ignore her. Xu Damao and Yu Li would also ignore her. He Yuzhu didn't find out anything useful.

Later, Liang Latin's child was also sent away, leaving only his daughter by his side. Qin Huairu saw Liang Latin go to He's house at night, and sent her away immediately the next day. Unfortunately, Jia Zhang was against it, and his son and daughter were even more unwilling. Qin Huairu was on pins and needles every day, but it was of no avail.

By the end of the year, the initiative had become a call to send 20 million educated young people to the countryside.

The street office and factory committee began to mobilize, saying that they must respond to the call.

Qin Huairu was confused. So this was the case. She felt something was wrong.

Everyone in the compound and Qin Huairu secretly hated He Yukai. They knew the news, but why didn't he tell them? They were all neighbors in the same compound, and watching the excitement turned into frowns. Unfortunately, He Yukai didn't care about what these people thought.

The subdistrict office began to count the young people of appropriate age. There were a total of four in the compound, and Banggeng was one of them. In order to help Banggeng make a difference in the future, He Yukai made some efforts, but someone above him did not agree, and directly arranged Banggeng to the most difficult place in Gansu Province.

I hope that the stick will change in a difficult place, where your hands and feet are unsteady, but no one who wants to beat you will look down on you with three hands, and you may even be beaten to death.

If this still doesn't change Bang Geng, then there's no hope for this kid. Target shooting is the only way out. Is it all because of the dead Jia Dongxu's dedication and the education of Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu? Is it possible?
This is what He Yukai thought was the reason why Banggeng was sent to live in a difficult place. No matter whether others believed it or not, He Yukai himself believed it.

When Qin Huairu saw the notice from the street office, she was in disbelief. Didn’t Li Huaide agree to put Banggeng in Qinjia Village?
At first, Qin Huairu wanted Banggeng to work as a temporary worker in the factory so that he wouldn't have to go down because there was a job. The condition was that unemployed young people go to the countryside to become educated youth.

But Li Huaide didn't dare to do so. You know, there were too many worker families going to the countryside this time. If he arranged a job for Banggeng, he would definitely be in trouble.

There is no need to take risks for a woman who can be summoned at any time and dismissed at any time.

Li Huaide is indeed experienced, and he understands better than anyone the principle that what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the imbalance of wealth. As for agreeing to Qin Huairu, there was no other way, and he had to do it in order to unlock new ways to deal with it.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to bring more money to Banggeng. Jia Zhang kept scolding Qin Huairu for being incompetent and letting her beloved grandson go to such a faraway place to suffer.

Qin Huairu didn't say anything. It was useless to say anything. Seeing the actions of the He family, she wanted to imitate them, but her family members opposed it. What's the point of saying these things now? Can it prevent her son from going to such a far place to suffer?

Qin Huairu was filled with hatred towards the He family, so she decided to report that He Qian from the He family did not go to the countryside. "Comrade Qin Huairu, the He family did not violate any rules. The policy stipulates that only one child can be left behind or all children can go to the countryside."

People in the street office don't like people like Qin Huairu. Reporting neighbors is something that people look down upon.

Especially Qin Huairu, who initially wanted to find a better place for her children to go to the countryside, but when she didn't achieve her expectations, she reported others. How could there be such a person?
The He family proactively responded to the policy, and the street office was praised. If their street was full of families like the He family, their work would be much easier to carry out.

The vigorous movement of going to the countryside and mountains began. Banggeng could only go to Gansu Province. In that place, would Banggeng's temper still be useful?
He Yukai could only laugh. He Yukai also heard about Qin Huairu’s report and didn’t care at all.

Since you reported me, I had to make some arrangements for Xiaodang, the ungrateful bastard in your family. As a result, Xiaodang went to southern Xinjiang Province to scrape rubber.

After graduating from junior high school, He Qian was assigned to work as a temporary worker in a supply and marketing cooperative. She first decided to study to be an accountant. He Qian was very sensitive to numbers, and He Yukai had already thought about her future development direction.

He could have been assigned to the steel rolling mill, but He Yushui was already in charge of finance, and it would not look good or sound good to have another person go in.

When there are so many people in your family in the finance department, who are you supervising? Are all the sensitive departments your family members?
In order to avoid suspicion, he was arranged to the supply and marketing cooperative. Of course, this time it was not He Yukai who arranged it, but He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took on private jobs and accumulated a strong network of contacts. He cooked for the director of the supply and marketing cooperative many times and they became familiar with each other. Seeing that He Yuzhu was tight-lipped, no one ever heard any news when they had a meal at home. Even if Yang Wu's wife didn't know, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative was very satisfied.

In addition, after Li Huaide found out, he took the initiative to help intercede, so the arrangement was made very quickly.

He also said that even being a formal employee would be fine, but was rejected by He Yukai, so being a formal employee would be a bit eye-catching.

He Yukai's arrangement was originally intended to train He Qian. The salary didn't matter; experience was the key.

Yan Bugui's two children also went to the countryside. The old boy is now very relaxed. Without classes, his main thing is to slack off and fish.

The salary is just that much, and the day is comfortable. Yi Li's child is already over two years old and smiles every day.

Only Yi Zhonghai was still miserable. He swept the toilet and stank every day. When he walked from a distance, others saw him and ran away immediately, covering their mouths and noses.

Li often brought her children to the He family. He Yu took the children to play and gave her old toys to the children. They got along very well.

The deaf old lady's things were lost and she became completely quiet. She knew that someone was targeting her. It must be someone she knew, otherwise he would not have left her money.

Li took good care of him, and she didn't plan to make any noise. The person she suspected most was He Yukai. Others were not so generous as to take out a thousand dollars and put it in the box, but she didn't say anything. She knew those things were treasures, and perhaps it would be best if they were in He Yukai's hands.

The courtyard fell into silence. He Yukai began to slack off at work and walk around the streets after get off work, looking around to see if there was any place where he could find a bargain.

I go to the countryside from time to time, but the houses cannot be traded. Otherwise, there are several courtyard houses facing the street, and small buildings, etc. I want to buy them all. Wouldn’t it be good to open a restaurant? What a pity that the location is so good.

It's almost 69 years now, and the situation outside is not as brutal anymore. The repressed elements in the air are slowly starting to become active, and it feels pretty good.

After Qin Huairu sent her son away, she deeply realized the importance of rights. If she had the rights, Banggeng would not have to suffer.

But she has no culture and no background, so how can she get power? Now her only chance is Li Huaide.

As long as Li Huaide agrees, she may join the picket team or even the committee. Li Huaide's word is final in the factory.

During this period, Qin Huairu read the newspaper and studied every day to prepare for her rights career.

"Old Li, just agree to it. Isn't the patrol team in need of a deputy captain? For you, this is just a matter of a word."

After serving Li Huaide, Qin Huairu took the opportunity to make a request, "I'm cooperating with you so much, but you still don't agree? That's too much."

"Why did you think of joining the patrol team? Are you planning to cause trouble? I tell you that the He family cannot be touched. If you do, it will stir up a hornet's nest, and even I will be in trouble. You'd better keep your thoughts to yourself."

Li Huaide didn't refuse, but he was afraid that Qin Huairu would cause trouble. He had already learned about the discord between the He family and the Jia family from Xu Damao.

"No, why would I touch the He family? I just feel that being a worker has no future. I have been reading newspapers and studying recently. I want to make progress and keep up with your pace.

Don't worry, Lao Li, I will definitely listen to you after I become the deputy captain. I also know that if I don't listen, you can remove me at any time."

Qin Huairu really didn't want to cause trouble for the He family. He just wanted to make a fortune and let Sha Zhu see how powerful he, Qin Huairu, was.

She doesn't dare to provoke He Yukai, but you, Shazhu, don't take my Qin Huairu's charm seriously. Isn't that too much?

Women are always narrow-minded. She had tried many times to get close to He Yuzhu but to no avail, and had long been dissatisfied.

As for He Yukai, although she hated him to the core, she would not try it easily without being absolutely sure. Yi Zhonghai was still sweeping the toilet, and she was not that stupid.

"It's okay for you to be the boss, but if you dare to touch the He family, don't blame me for being rude to you. The action I took last time was... Hehe."

Then the news came out that Qin Huairu was appointed as the deputy captain of the patrol team. Everyone felt that strange things happened every year, but this year there were especially many.

The captain is Li Huaide's distant nephew, a playboy. Now he has a deputy captain, who is her uncle's man. He was so happy that he almost jumped up. Finally, he doesn't have to go to work every day and can spend his time however he wants.

Anyway, he was just there to get a salary. Qin Huairu took power as soon as she took office and began her career as deputy captain.

Every day he led people to patrol everywhere and was very busy. He did some things and made a lot of money. Li Huaide didn't care at all and didn't find it strange. He was not afraid of your greed, but he was afraid that you were not greedy.

He knew that Qin Huairu was cunning and had evidence of corruption in his hands, so he could finally rest assured. If he had been able to control his lower body, he would have kicked Qin Huairu away long ago. After listening to what Xu Damao said, he felt a chill on his back.

"Silly Zhu, we need to check the accounts"

Qin Huairu was finally ready to take action against He Yuzhu. She thought that as a chef for so many years, He Yuzhu couldn't be without problems. She wanted to make He Yuzhu uncomfortable. It was a very strange feeling.

"Hey, Qin Huairu, you have been so powerful recently. What's the matter? You come to my cafeteria to show off your authority." He Yuzhu was not afraid at all, because he knew that there was no problem with his account.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, we are performing our duties normally, please cooperate," Qin Huairu said in a businesslike manner.

"Okay, okay, no problem. Ma Hua, take out the account book and show it to our Deputy Captain Qin."

"Okay, Master."

It's not that He Yuzhu looks down on them, but with your moral character, you still want to check the accounts? It's better for you to do things that are against your conscience, but to check the accounts? You are also that kind of material.

However, He Yuzhu still brought Ma Hua and Liu Lan with him and followed closely.

After all, if I take the account book to the warehouse to check, no one will follow me. It will be difficult to deal with if these people frame me.

Qin Huairu took people to check three times and found that the accounts and items matched. Qin Huairu was unwilling to accept this. The He family's living conditions were so good. Qin Huairu always thought that there was something wrong with Sha Zhu, but after a quick look, she couldn't find any problems.

She tapped twice more. She was unwilling but had no choice. This was the fact, and she could only take her people away.

"Ma Hua and Liu Lan gave orders to the patrol team to take care of their meals in the future. Hey, dare you to cause trouble? Even Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to do that at that time.

Let them starve for a month first. It's just a small amount of food, but they counted it three times. Isn't this just looking for trouble? Can anyone in our cafeteria bully us?"

"Okay, Master."

Liu Lan was also unhappy with Qin Huairu, who was flirting all the time, what a disgrace.

The patrol team didn’t know that because of their actions, they felt the canteen’s care in the days that followed.

Others had a big spoon full of vegetables. But when they got to the canteen, the food seemed to have been electrocuted, and it was shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, there was only a lunch box of soup and a piece of vegetable leaf floating alone.

It’s not that they don’t have a theory, but everyone’s reaction made them doubt their own eyes. The workers all said that they were given the full amount and they were just looking for trouble.

Their outrageous actions during this period have completely lost the support of the people. Qin Huairu will be treated the same way, even if they move to another canteen.

Li Huaide's participation was useless. He agreed on the surface, but when it came to serving the food, he just did what he had to do. He agreed readily and admitted his mistakes sincerely, but he refused to change.

They finally understood why no one wanted to offend the cafeteria, and blamed all their resentment on Qin Huairu, thinking that if Qin Huairu hadn't been looking for trouble, they wouldn't have to go to the point of not having enough to eat.

Qin Huairu could only endure it silently. She had tried all the methods, but they didn't work. What else could she do?
