Chapter 208: Asking for leave
"Moon, what's wrong? Is there something big happening in the capital?" Chu Molin was stunned when he saw her, and screamed twice without waking up, so he had to push her.
"No, nothing is wrong, it's just a bit messy, even more messy than before. The post office is on holidays in the New Year, so if you want to send something, hurry up and don't put too much stuff. It's too messy outside now, so it's best not to write a letter. Now those people outside are starting to pick words." Lou Manyue shook her head and analyzed it to them according to the content of the letter.
"Okay, we'll sort it out this afternoon and send the things tomorrow morning." Lu Zihao nodded. He was the only one who wanted to send things.
Chu Molin, except for his father on the farm, is his grandfather here. There are no other relatives in Kyoto.
Although Qiao Zhiyan's grandparents are still in Kyoto, they are very low-key now. With her three brothers sending things to their homes in the army, he doesn't have to send them. Even during the Chinese New Year, he received several brothers and his parents' mailings to him.
Lu Nanyi, not to mention that their hometown is nearby. They want to go home or take something, and they can go back just by riding a bicycle.
"Then you pack your things first. I'll take the bacon you asked your aunt to make for you. Okay, you can have dinner, I'll leave." Lou Manyue said, and didn't take the basket, so she walked out directly.
Her father doesn't know what the situation is now. He has not come back yet on the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month. He doesn't know if his identity like her father will have any impact.
After she started to face her life, everything became different. Now she is just a real person. She is a textile factory worker in this era.
Referring to the real world, the history of this period of time, this movement did not have much impact on them as workers, which made her feel a little relieved.
What she has to consider now is to wait for her father to come back and ask about his situation to make complete preparations.
"Full Moon..." Chu Molin wanted to ask what else? Before he finished speaking, the person was gone.
Why is this person walking faster and faster?
After Lou Manyue left, several people leaned on their heads to read the letter from beginning to end. The more they looked at the brows, the tighter they frowned. Is the form outside so serious?
Even if you just say the wrong thing, you will be taken to travel/street/criticize/fight? What kind of people are already so crazy?
Lu Nanyi saw a paragraph behind that was about the old man and old lady who were the neighbors. She was once a professor in the school and retired. Both of them were taken out to sweep the streets, and the old man was even crippled.
Because he is a neighbor and a friend who has been playing with him since he was a child, everyone can tell what it means with just one look. The old man and the others know him. He is a gentle and elegant old man. He can't imagine how a person like him will become now?
"It's so scary outside. No, I have to find some time to go back and let my grandparents go to the countryside to avoid the limelight." Qiao Zhiyan shivered and patted his little heart with some fear.
Their Qiao family is young, and there are only two old people living in the courtyard. According to the letter, the courtyard is not safe. Her grandmother used to be a lady from the official family. Although no one knows this identity now, she is afraid that one day the mice in the gutter will be found.
I can't imagine what the two old people in my family would become if they suffered such consequences?
"Ayan, I'll go to Uncle Zheng later and ask him to take you to the branch secretary to see if you can take leave home. I always feel that this world should make a decision earlier and feel at ease sooner." Chu Molin also knew that the Qiao family's grandmother was a lady in the official family. Their families are family friends and are very clear about the details of the family.
Qiao Zhiyan immediately felt panicked when he heard him say this.
"I... can't do it, I have to call my brother first. My elder brother is in Kyoto now. I'll let him deal with it first. Then see if you can bring the two old men here?" Qiao Zhiyan threw down the ribs that had been gnawed in his hand, dragged his slippers and started running out.
Lu Nanyi caught up with him and grabbed his hand in three or two steps, so that he could calm down.
"Now calm down first, go to change your clothes and shoes. I'll go to the next door to find you, and then borrow a bicycle. I'll go with you to the railway station in the county town. I know someone. There is still a train from here to the city at night. Let's go to the city first, and then transfer to Kyoto. You have to calm down. There is nothing to do now. I can accompany you to the city. You have to walk the rest of the road by yourself." Lu Nanyi dragged her into the house while analyzing, but he was still worried that he would be alone. If he was panicked, would there be any accident?
However, if the educated youth want to take leave, it is impossible for them to be together. They can only stay as far as they can while they are not working now.
A few people hurriedly packed up their things and went out. After hearing their intention, the Lou family immediately took people to issue a certificate. There are three places for educated youth in their village to visit their relatives this year. Except for one educated youth in Haicheng who returned, the others were very peaceful and no one went to issue a certificate.
Aunt Li quickly packed up the dried chickens and ducks. Because she was in a hurry and didn't prepare anything else, she only took a set of changing clothes and this bag of packed meat, and there was nothing else.
Lou Manyue took a look and had time to make some scallion pancakes for them, and then wrapped them all the remaining white flour buns in cloth bags, and put a can of meat sauce in the bag they were eating.
The preparation is relatively hasty, so I can only do this, but even in a hurry, these things are much better than those bought on the train, and there is no need to spend money or tickets.
The Lou family was taking Qiao Zhiyan and Lu Nanyi to the branch secretary's house. The village party secretary was sitting on the kang reading a book. When he heard the sound of the door curtain, he raised his head and saw the three of them entering the house.
"Ah, come and sit down." The branch secretary called them to come and sit down. The branch secretary's daughter-in-law was very eye-catching. She saw that she poured a few bowls of hot water for a few people, and then went back.
"Uncle San, Qiao Zhiqing wants to take leave and go home to visit relatives. I know you have two places left. Can you give her one?" Lou Jia said as he pushed Qiao Zhiyan forward.
"Secretary Secretary, the old man at home is sick and wants to go back and see him, so he decided to go back temporarily. Can you give me this quota?" Qiao Zhiyan said, observing the branch secretary's face, feeling a little nervous.
