Chapter 353 Mom, are you biased towards boys over girls?
This year's New Year's Eve dinner will still be held at Zhou Rong's home.
Zhou's mother felt sorry for Zhou Qingping and kept serving him meat dishes during the New Year's Eve dinner.
Zhou Qingping gave half of the meat in the bowl to his mother: "Grandma, the food in our school is not bad. We can have a braised pork for only 15 cents. It's just that we are too busy and often forget to eat, so we lose weight."
Zhou's mother: "You are not yet 15 years old. You must take good care of yourself and eat three meals a day on time. Otherwise, your body will collapse, and you will suffer, and we will suffer too."
Zhou Qingping: "I know, I will take good care of myself, you don't have to worry."
Zhou Qinghong: "Brother Qingping, what exactly are you learning in school? It seems busier than adults at work."
Zhou Qingping: "It's the knowledge in the physics textbook, but the content is more profound. You will understand it when you go to college."
Zhou Qinghong: "I opened the junior high and high school textbooks you put in the study and took a look. I felt dizzy just by looking at the symbols and formulas. I felt that I was not cut out for college."
Zhou Rong continued, "If you don't want to go to college, go to a technical secondary school after finishing junior high school. Graduate early and start working early, which will also reduce the burden on your parents."
Zhou Qinghong: "...Okay, let's listen to my aunt. Nini is not good at studying, she only cares about beauty. Let her go to technical secondary school with me."
Nini: "...Who said I'm not good at studying? When have I ever done better than you in a test? My mom and my older brother were able to get into college, so I can, too. Just wait and see!"
In September 62, Nini was only in the first grade of junior high school. No matter how many grades she skipped, she would not be able to finish college.
Zhou Rong discussed, "It's good to go to a technical secondary school. You can get a job after graduation. It's hard for me to support my family alone. How about you help me share some of the burden?"
Nini: "Mom, do you favor boys over girls?"
Zhou Rong: "...That's not the case!"
Nini: "My eldest brother has been admitted to university, and my second brother is also planning to go to university, so why can't I? Technical secondary school students sound not as good as college students. I don't want to go to technical secondary school, I also want to go to university!"
Zhou Rong: "Then you can go to college according to your own ideas. The organization is now encouraging educated youth to go to the countryside. In a few years, it may be enforced. If you encounter a bad policy, you are likely to go to the countryside.
Each of us has to bear the consequences of our own decisions. I hope you won’t regret it later.”
Nini: "I won't regret it! I've always been lucky. I don't believe I'll be so unlucky. If I catch up with the policy, I'll go to the countryside to live for a while. It's not like I haven't been to the countryside before. When the policy is good, I'll come back to continue my studies."
Zhou Rong: "You have such a good idea, no matter how much I say, it will be meaningless. I wish you good luck."
Zhou Qingping returned to school on February 2 (the eighth day of the first lunar month), and since then he has been as busy as he was in the first semester.
Sometimes Zhou Rong would go to school to look for him, but he might not be able to see him...
From mid-January to early February, the Central Committee held an enlarged meeting in Kyoto with 1 participants, at which it made a preliminary summary of the lessons learned from the Great Leap Forward and carried out criticism and self-criticism.
要求62年上半年全国城镇再减少人口700万人，其中职工450万人以上，下半年继续减少城镇人口450万人，且在全国国家机关原有的268万余人中精减94万余人。
After the meeting, the central government established a national agency establishment group and a central streamlining group.
In mid-February, under the guidance of the spirit of the Central Work Conference, the Jiangcheng Municipal Committee required all units to carry out criticism and self-criticism, and assigned the task of reducing the urban population to each district.
The Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, like other units, holds a large meeting every three days and a small meeting every day, requiring everyone to conduct self-examination and correct their colleagues' shortcomings in their work.
This is a self-defeating and offensive thing. If you are not careful, you will have to go to the countryside for "training"...
Zhou Rong avoided many traps by relying on her cautious words and eloquence.
Duan Yongzhi, the head of the Personnel Department, was criticized for saying the wrong thing during his speech and was almost labeled a reactionary. He had no choice but to ask to go to the countryside to protect himself.
After Duan Yongzhi went to the countryside, Liao Bowen took over his position as section chief, and Zhou Rong took over...
In order to respond to the organization's policies, the neighborhood committee actively mobilized residents in its jurisdiction to go to the countryside.
In the past few years, there was a policy of going to the countryside every year, and almost all those who could be mobilized were mobilized. Now those who are left are local old residents or people with jobs and backgrounds.
But the organization’s policies must be implemented.
The neighborhood committee had no choice but to do ideological work for those who had larger families or who did not hold any official positions, hoping that they would comply with organizational policies and go to the countryside to participate in labor production.
Ma Daya and her two siblings have no parents and are grassroots workers in their unit, so they became targets of mobilization.
Ma Daya didn't want to go back to her hometown. She tried to talk to the people in the neighborhood committee and complained for a long time. She also asked Luo Qiuyue to help her intercede, but seeing that it was of no use, she struggled for a while and had to ask Zhou Rong for help.
When Zhou Rong got home from get off work, Ma Daya came to his door with two canned foods and two bags of crispy candies, saying she had something to discuss.
Zhou Rong took her to the study and asked what happened.
Ma Daya told the neighborhood committee that the three siblings had been asked to return home: "Aunt Rong, I know I shouldn't bother you, but we really have no other choice.
Second Auntie asked for our help, but the neighborhood committee refused to give her face. We don’t know any other important people here, so we can only shamelessly ask you for help.”
Zhou Rong sighed and said, "I will go to the neighborhood committee tomorrow to inquire about the situation, but I can't guarantee that this will succeed."
Ma Daya said gratefully: "Whether it works or not, I thank you!"
Zhou Rong: "You're welcome. Take the things back. I don't accept gifts."
Ma Daya: "These food are not for you. I bought them for Nini and the others. It rained a few days ago, and they helped me collect the clothes. I never thanked them. These canned food and crispy candies are my thank you gifts to them."
Zhou Rong: "...You go back and wait for my news."
Ma Daya: "Okay!"
Tao Fen had been promoted to director. When Zhou Rong found her the next day, she was reading a newspaper.
Zhou Rong brought two cans of food to Tao Fen and asked with a smile, "Director Tao, what are you busy with?"
As soon as Tao Fen saw Zhou Rong's posture, he knew something was wrong.
The neighborhood committee will visit each household every once in a while to register information such as changes in the unit, promotions, children's schooling, and the situation of relatives at home, etc. They will conduct detailed checks to prevent hostile forces from infiltrating.
Tao Fen has seen all the changes in Zhou Rong's family. From having nothing when they first came to the city, even having to ask others for help to send their children to school, to now others have to look at her mood to do things.
The speed of change is faster than a train.
Not to mention that Zhou Rong's relatives are all more powerful than each other, her own achievements alone are not something she can afford to offend...
