Chapter 4: Sign Up Your Brothers and Sisters to Go to the Countryside

Su An was determined to make Su Yue and Su Qiang experience the same hardships she had endured in the countryside during her previous life.

The Su family had helped her get assigned to the countryside, and now she would return the favor.

Su An knocked on the door, and Gao Xiaohong, her classmate, opened it.

Classmate Su An, why are you here? Is there something you want to talk to me about?

Su An explained her purpose directly. Classmate Gao, I heard you’re worried about finding a job. Are you interested in mine? If you are, I can transfer it to you.

Gao Xiaohong was indeed worried about finding a job. Although her father was the director of the Youth Educated Office, she would still have to go to the countryside if she didn’t find a job.

In fact, her father’s position made things even harder for her. Some young people who hadn’t found jobs could delay going to the countryside, but her family had to set a good example.

They had agreed that if Gao Xiaohong didn’t find a job within half a month, she would have to go to the countryside like other educated youths.

Knowing how difficult life in the countryside was, Gao Xiaohong was desperate to find a job. Now, a job was being offered to her.

Student Su, are you willing to transfer your job? Such a good job, you’re willing to transfer it?

Gao Xiaohong knew that Su An’s job as an office clerk in a textile factory was easy and decent. It was very difficult to buy a job in the market, let alone such a good one.

Su An didn’t hide anything. My parents secretly signed me up to go to the countryside and wanted to transfer my job to my sister. I don’t want to give her a bargain, so it’s better to transfer it to you. At least I can get some money myself.

Gao Xiaohong looked at Su An with sympathy.

Okay, classmate Su. You sit down and wait. I’ll call my dad back and talk about buying the job.

Su An waited patiently. Soon, Gao Xiaohong returned with her father.

Gao’s father was excited. He had three sons, but only this precious daughter. He couldn’t bear to let her suffer. He had been trying to find a job for her, but hadn’t found anything. Now, a job had suddenly appeared.

Seeing Su An, Gao’s father was enthusiastic.

Comrade Su An, I heard from my daughter that you want to sell a job? Your job is so good. How much do you want to sell it for?

He was prepared to pay a high price for the job.

Unexpectedly, Su An said, I only want 600 yuan.

Gao’s father frowned. 600 yuan? Such a job could be sold for 1000 yuan. Su An was obviously lowering the price.

Gao’s father was a smart man. Comrade Su An, do you have any other requests?

Su An liked dealing with smart people. I do have other requests. Uncle Gao, my parents have signed me up to go to the countryside.

It seems that I’m going to the Northwest. I want to ask if you can help me arrange to go to the Northeast instead.

Su An didn’t want to go to the Northwest because that’s where she had gone in her previous life. The farm work was endless, the harvest was poor, and there was a shortage of water.

There was also constant conflict between the educated youths and the local villagers.

This time, she would let Su Yue and Su Qiang experience that hardship.

As for choosing to go to Liao Province in the Northeast, Su An knew that although the weather was cold, they could hibernate for most of the year.

The Northeast was also rich in resources, much better than the Northwest.

Gao’s father was surprised that Su An’s request was so simple.

Okay, this is easy. I promise you.

Su An continued, Uncle Gao, my brother and sister are also old enough to go to the countryside, and they don’t have jobs.

Especially my sister, she was supposed to go this time, but my parents signed me up instead and wanted me to transfer the job to her.

Can you help me register their names to go to the countryside?

Gao’s father understood Su An’s intentions. This girl wanted to retaliate against her parents’ favoritism.

He didn’t care about Su An’s motives. He could arrange this. It was reasonable for those without jobs to go to the countryside when they reached the age, and it didn’t violate any rules.

He was happy to help Su An.

Okay, I promise you.

Gao’s father went to the Youth Educated Office and registered Su Yue and Su Qiang’s names to go to the countryside, arranging for them to go to the Northwest as Su An requested.

As for Su An’s destination, it was changed from the Northwest to the Northeast.

After that, Gao’s father gave Su An 600 yuan. He was kind and also bought extra tickets for Su An.

Su An was going to the Northeast, where it was cold, so she would need cloth and cotton coupons.

The Gao family was well-off and grateful to Su An for transferring her job quota, so they were happy to give her more tickets as compensation.

Su An took Gao Xiaohong to her workplace and successfully completed the job transfer procedures.

After finishing everything, Su An treated herself to a nice meal to celebrate her new life.

In the afternoon, Su An went to the department store.

She couldn’t live the same way she had in the countryside in her previous life, so she had to buy some good things before going.

Su An used the money and tickets to buy thick quilts and cotton-padded jackets. She also bought some nutritional supplements, canned food, and other things.

She would buy daily necessities like enamel basins after arriving in the countryside.

They were readily available at the supply and marketing cooperative.

When Su An arrived home, it was dinnertime.

She was surprised to see that Chen Aimei had prepared dinner on her own initiative. The smell of chicken soup filled the kitchen.

As soon as Su An entered, Chen Aimei put on a flattering smile. An An is back? Come on, sit down and eat. Mom stewed chicken soup for you. You should have a good rest.

Seeing Chen Aimei acting so strangely, Su An knew something was wrong. This old witch must be up to something.

Su An glanced at Su Yue and Su Qiang standing behind Chen Aimei.

Although they tried to hide their emotions, she could see the gloating in their eyes.
