Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Chapter 366: Which of your grandchildren do you think would be willing to kill the pig?

At present, the main focus is on civil fights, and next year, it will be martial fights.

Zhou Rong didn't want his father and mother to be involved and get into trouble, so after returning from Zhou Gui's house, he went to the meat processing factory to do ideological work for the two of them, hoping that they would retire early and return to Zhoujiawan to live for a few years.

Several leaders of the Municipal Bureau of Culture are forced to hold meetings every day.

Zhou's mother felt that the scene was too cruel, so she made an excuse of feeling unwell and did not report to the Municipal Cultural Bureau for a while.

Zhou's mother had no objection to his early retirement.

Father Zhou was a little hesitant: "I got this job by relying on many connections. Now there is no one to take over. If I retire early, this job will be gone. As long as we don't participate in those struggles, we will be fine.

It’s hard to find a job now, why don’t I work for a few more years, wait until the kids are grown up and someone takes over, then I can retire?”

Zhou Rong: "Dad, even if you arrange for someone to take over, he will be a grassroots workshop worker. Which of your grandchildren do you think would be willing to slaughter pigs?"

Father Zhou: “…”

Zhou's mother: "You are 58 years old. You will have to retire when you turn 60. Qinghong has already started working, and the other grandchildren are still young. When you retire, they will only be in their teens and will not be able to take over.

If you feel bad about this job, we can go to the family quarters later to ask around and see which children are in need of jobs. We can then sell the quota to them and get some money in hand.”

Father Zhou: "This arrangement is also fine."

In recent years, the government has encouraged workers and unemployed young people to go to the countryside every year, and families who love their children want to keep their children in the city.

However, job vacancies are scarce, and many employees arrange for their children to take their place when they reach retirement age. Even if they want to buy a job, they may not be able to do so.

As soon as Zhou's mother released the news, Zhou's father's place was bought by someone who paid 480 yuan.

After Zhou's father and mother completed the retirement procedures, they returned to Zhoujiawan with Shen Chunheng, Qin Yanhua and others, staying away from disputes and avoiding many disasters...

After the new policy was introduced, the Ministry of Education announced that the enrollment of new students in higher education institutions this year would be postponed for half a year.

In Nini's school, students have less than two classes a day. Most of the time is spent in meetings, where they can criticize their teachers and school leaders, or go to other schools for meetings.

Every morning, Nini and her classmates would gather in the school's playground to listen to important instructions from Kyoto. The director of the school's governmental committee would read aloud the highest instructions received from the radio and newspapers, and then lead everyone in singing "The Sea Sailing Depends on the Helmsman".

Then comes the meeting session.

Nini's school principal and party secretary were sentenced as members of the "Sanjia Village" and were brought to the stage for meetings every day.

The school leaders who were full of vigor and vitality at the beginning now stood in front of the stage with messy hair, bowed their heads and bent their backs, allowing everyone to criticize them. Nini didn't understand why society suddenly changed...

After the meeting, students can arrange the remaining time freely.

A classmate invited Nini to read the zb that everyone posted, and then to attend a meeting at another school. Nini said her mother was sick and she had to go home to take care of her, so she did not go with them.

During Zhou Rong's "recuperation", Nini was worried every day, fearing that something might happen to her mother when she was not at home. She would be left without a mother, and she was also worried that her two brothers and grandparents would blame her for not taking good care of her mother.

When Nini got home, Zhou Rong was tidying up the study.

The articles and novels that were previously popular are now like time bombs in this special period.

"Sanjia Lane", "Morning in Shanghai", "Song of Youth", "Bitter Struggle", as well as foreign novels "What to Do" and "White Night", etc., are currently identified as "poisonous weeds".

Fantasy novels such as "Seven Swords and Thirteen Heroes", "The Story of Tang", "The Five Little Heroes", "She Saihua", "The Biography of Jigong", and "Journey to the West" are also not allowed to be read.

Zhou Rong's family owns all these books. Some were bought by the children with their own pocket money, and some were exchanged or borrowed from classmates.

Zhou Rong was preparing to put the books into the space. When he saw Nini coming in, he found a box and put the books in it one by one.

Nini gently stroked the "Song of Youth" and murmured, "I can't watch it anymore, what a pity."

Then he asked, "Mom, what are you going to do with these books?"

Zhou Rong: "Too many people have been burning books recently. If we burn them now, it will be easy for people to make a big fuss. So I will hide them at home first. I will find a way to deal with them later."

Nini: "Okay, have you taken your medicine today? I'll go and boil it for you."

Zhou Rong: "No, I boiled the medicine and ate it myself. You go and help me make lunch."

Nini: “Okay.”

That night, Shen Bohang borrowed a truck from their unit and transported several boxes from his home to Zhou Rong's home for storage.

Some nosy neighbors asked what was in the box. Zhou Gui said that they would go to the countryside for a while and there would be no one at home, so they left the clothes and bedding at his sister's house to prevent them from being eaten by rats.

Some people believed her, while others did not.

The boxes from the Shen family were temporarily piled up in Zhou Rong's study. When Nini went to school the next day, Zhou Rong put all the boxes and the "poisonous weeds" in the house into the study.

Then he copied Zhou Gui's box, filled it with old clothes and bedding, and piled it in his own study...

Xu Man’s house was also covered with a lot of zb.

Under Wang Chengnan's arrangement, Chen Xiaowei joined the army and became a communications soldier two years ago.

Xu Man didn't want to be criticized, so she stayed at home with Xue Wanyi every day and tried not to go out. Even buying groceries was done by Wang Ruizhe and Wang Chengnan.

At present, all walks of life and all units put cultural gm at the top of all their work, and implement the "Four Major" policies of free speech, free discussion, free discussion and free debate. The government also requires all units to set up their own WG working groups.

The cloth shop and clothing store are now managed by a working group composed of store employees. Xu Man, the manager, has been sidelined because she is the only one in charge. Every time she goes to the store, she needs to stand in front of all the employees and reflect on herself.

Xu Man was very afraid of that kind of occasion, so she made the excuse of feeling unwell and asked for sick leave, saying that she was reflecting on herself at home.

She was usually nice to the employees, so the members of the working group did not make things difficult for her and approved her sick leave.

In order to find a "pure land" for his wife and children, Wang Chengnan used his connections to transfer to the garrison logistics department as deputy director and will be able to move in next week.

When Xu Man heard the news, her uneasy mood calmed down a lot.

The garrison has its own farm. Wang Chengnan suggested that Xue Wanyi, Xu's father and mother, Xu Yun and others move there together and help with the work on the farm so as to avoid being followed and attending meetings.

During this period, Xu's father, Xu's mother and Xu Yun were taken to meetings every day and lived in fear. When they learned that the army's farm could be exempted from holding meetings, they readily agreed.

Xu Yun's wife Shi Qi's family status is not good. Xu Yun and Wang Chengnan discussed whether they could also move Shi's family to the farm.

Wang Chengnan agreed, and in the name of reform, he moved the Xu and Shi families to the garrison farm, thus avoiding many hardships...
