These days, everyone prefers to stay in the city and no one wants to go to the countryside.

Therefore, it is rare to see someone voluntarily going to the countryside, and that is why the staff treated Su Wantang with exceptional enthusiasm.

“My cousin said she resolutely responded to Chairman Mao’s great call and volunteered to go to the countryside, to the border areas, and to the places where the motherland needs her most!” Su Wantang said. “My cousin has a high level of ideological awareness and wants to temper her will in the great storms of the countryside. She wants to go to Heilongjiang Province’s Beidahuang to develop a farm and contribute to the construction of the motherland.”

Heilongjiang Province experiences severe winters, food shortages, and extreme scarcity of supplies.

Every year, many educated youth die of cold and starvation after being sent to the countryside.

Once Zhang Xuehui gets there, she'll have a hard time.

"Very good! This Comrade Zhang's ideological awareness is indeed very high." The staff member nodded excitedly. "Then I will process the registration now."

As they spoke, the staff hurriedly registered Zhang Xuehui's name on the way to the Heilongjiang Province's Beidahuang countryside.

"Now, educated youth who voluntarily go to the countryside receive a government subsidy of 500 yuan, ten grain coupons, ten cloth coupons, and two meat coupons," the staff member said. "It's all been registered now."

As he spoke, the staff member took an envelope from the drawer. "This is a government subsidy. Please take a look."

"Okay, thank you." Su Wantang smiled sweetly. After checking and finding that there was indeed five hundred yuan and the corresponding receipts inside, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, comrade. I'll be going now."

"Okay, drive carefully." The staff member smiled gently.

After leaving the educated youth office, Su Wantang put all the money into her spatial storage.

When Sun Xiaoli and her daughter come out and learn what's about to happen, their expressions will surely be quite interesting.

Su Wantang returned to her villa.

She sat on the sofa and drank a glass of spiritual spring water. All her fatigue vanished, and she felt refreshed and relaxed.

She took out the basket that Aunt Liu had given her from her spatial storage. The basket was covered with a white cloth. Su Wantang opened the white cloth and found that the basket contained not only the food that Aunt Liu had given her, but also two golden yellow croakers under a jar of beef sauce!

Was Aunt Liu afraid that I wouldn't accept it if she gave it to me directly, so she gave it to me in this way?

Su Wantang felt a warmth in her heart.

She raised her hand and waved it into her spatial storage.

That night, Su Wantang went to bed early and had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, at Aunt Liu's house.

"Open the door! Open the door now!"

A series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

Liu Hong was still asleep when she quickly got dressed, put on her slippers, and walked towards the front door, opening the door.

Standing outside were several men in red armbands with stern expressions.

"We've been informed by concerned citizens that your home contains prohibited books! We're here to search it!" the leader, wearing a red armband, said coldly.

Liu Hong's heart skipped a beat; this day had finally come.

"Comrades, this is a misunderstanding!" Liu Hong feigned panic. "I'm just an ordinary citizen. My family and I just want to live a peaceful life. How could we possibly have any prohibited books in our home? Someone must have maliciously reported us! Comrades, I'm truly innocent!"

These words had been heard by the red-armband members so many times they were practically calloused.

The red-armband-wearing sneered, "That's what all those reformed elements who had their things confiscated said before they were investigated."
