Chapter 252 The Last Wish of the Mad Educated Youth 6

Gu Yushan and his family of three became celebrities in Jiangcheng, even though there was no well-developed Internet at that time. If there was, Chang'an would have made them famous abroad.

Half a lifetime of hard work was destroyed in an instant. The public security comrades went to the steel rolling mill and tortured Gu Yushan away, on the pretext of undermining socialism.

One of the items in the report was that Gu Yushan used waste materials from the factory to make a profit. He was very cautious and only pried into the factory twice, with a total of less than 20 yuan, which was considered a test.

Because doing this was too scary and he was afraid of being exposed, he stopped in time.

In the original plot, no one knew about this until Gu Yushan died of old age. It was bad luck for him to meet Chang'an and her father this time.

At the same time, people from the Street Office also came to the family compound to inform Gu Linzhou about going to the countryside. "Is Comrade Gu Linzhou at home? We are here to inform him of the time to go to the countryside."

"He has gone to his maternal grandparents' house. You go there to inform him," Chang'an poked his head out from the crack in the door, then retracted it and the door was closed tightly.

Did she not want to come out? Wasn't the door broken? She was too lazy to move it.

The people from the street office were stunned for a moment, but didn't care. The two of them left together. They were originally hesitant because Gu Linzhou had a job. After seeing the report letter and the evidence this morning, they knew that he would be out of work soon, so they used the evidence to make up for the performance.

The street has set targets for sending educated youth to the countryside. Now, unlike the first few years when everyone was ignorant, the young people are full of enthusiasm and are determined to go to the countryside regardless of their families' objections.

After so many years, the life in the countryside has spread back to the city, and the enthusiasm of the ignorant young man was extinguished by a basin of cold water.

When Gu Linzhou received the notice to go to the countryside, he was stunned. "Comrade, are you mistaken? I didn't sign up to go to the countryside."

"You are right. It was your family who signed you up. They said something happened at home and they wanted to send you to the countryside to support rural construction."

"...Where was I assigned to?" When Gu Linzhou heard that something happened at home, he had no way of refutation. Something did happen, and his father was taken away by the police.

The report letter listed various violations and illegalities in great detail. If nothing unexpected happened, his mother should have been arrested as well, and his maternal grandparents' family would not be spared either.

Fortunately, he was not involved in those things, but he couldn't live in Jiangcheng anymore. Now the whole city knew about the Gu family's affairs. He could no longer find a job and could only hide in the countryside.

The street office official said calmly, "Go to the Northwest, take the train the day after tomorrow morning, remember not to be late, we will issue tickets at the train station when you arrive."

Gu Linzhou thought he would have to leave after the Chinese New Year, but he didn't expect it to be so urgent. "Can the time be postponed?" He had not prepared anything. How would he live in the countryside?

"No, you don't want to escape, do you?"

"No, no, I will be there on time the day after tomorrow." Given his current situation, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, for fear that they would transfer him to a more difficult place.

He thought about the subsidies for going to the countryside, "Comrade, when will my subsidy be paid to me?"

"Your subsidy was collected by your family when you registered."

Gu Linzhou’s subsidy for going to the countryside was taken away by his senior year in high school. Now he can’t even go back home and is destined to go to the countryside empty-handed.

Chang'an and Gu Laoliu emptied out all the belongings of the Gu family. Since Gu Yushan had been arrested, the house would also be taken back by the factory. They did not wait for others to drive them away and voluntarily left the steel rolling mill's staff compound.

Gao San was sent by Chang'an to Hong Kong to deal with Chen Erya's affairs. He set out from Jiangcheng to Pengcheng and took a black fishing boat from there.

Originally Chang'an also wanted to go, but Gu Laoliu thought it was too far and didn't want to go, so Chang'an had to stay to accompany his old father.

Silver Wolf took them to the shantytown outside the city, where lived a group of people with the most difficult family conditions. They had no houses and no jobs, and because they had urban household registration, they could not even earn work points.

The family has no stable income, and the house is built with picked up scrap wooden boards.

Most of these people cannot live in their original homes for some reason, and they have no roots in the countryside, so they can only live a hard life here.

While everyone was resting at night, Changan distributed all of Gu's things to a few families with good character. It was okay to give them a little help.

What the Gu family collected were clothes, quilts, furniture, pots and pans. These things were rags and useless to them, so it made sense to give them to people in need.

When Gu Linzhou found out that he could go home, he ran upstairs excitedly, and then was stunned by the scene in front of him. Lao Liu, that lunatic, had moved the house so much that only the load-bearing walls were left.

Oh, and there’s also the household registration booklet on the ground that he doesn’t want anymore.

He is going to the countryside tomorrow, and Gu Laoliu didn't even leave him a bitter tea seed. His mother, his grandparents, and uncles were all taken away just now, and now he can't find them.

Gu Linzhou squatted on the ground and cried feeling wronged. It wasn't his fault, why should he be punished like this?

His behavior still aroused the sympathy of a small number of people, but sympathy was sympathy and did not provide any substantial help. Only an old lady gave him three pancakes to eat on the train the next day.

An old man gave him some advice, "Why don't you go to your maternal family and see if you can get something useful?"

These words woke Gu Linzhou up from his dream. He immediately got up and ran out. He was afraid that if he went too late, his grandfather's things would be taken away by the neighbors.

That's not the case. It's not someone else's turn to take the valuables, and people won't do petty thefts. It's not like they can't afford to live.

The Zheng family was in a mess because the report letter said that they were hiding banned books and items, so their home was turned upside down.

If something goes wrong these days, the whole family will be ruined, unless they sever ties by publishing an announcement in the newspaper. But the incident happened suddenly, and the Zheng family didn't have a chance to react, so they were all wiped out.

Old man Zheng and old lady were both primary school teachers. After they retired, they placed many books at home in order to pretend that they were cultured people. They themselves didn’t even know what they were. They just collected them without reading them, just for show.

Everyone knew that the contraband was picked up by the eldest son of the Zheng family from somewhere else. They were hoping for a lucky break and dug a hole in the house to hide it.

If Changan and her father hadn't come to interfere, the Zheng family would have been able to make a living with those things after the opening up.

Gu Linzhou took care of the Zheng family, which was a little better. He packed up all the clothes and quilts he could wear and took them away, as well as enamel cups, lunch boxes, and anything else that could be used.

He did not miss any corner of the Zheng family. Even though it had been turned over by those people, he did not give up and wanted to find something valuable.

Maybe it was luck that influenced him, he found a secret compartment in the closet, and when he opened it, he found a gold bracelet and more than 100 yuan, but no tickets or anything like that.

Changan and Gu Laoliu appeared at the Zheng family at the right time, "Dad, look, I told you not to come and look for it yourself."

"My daughter has become smarter."

Changan: ...Is there something wrong with this way of praising?

It sounded like she was not very smart and suddenly became smart.
