The heavens set sail from the courtyard

In the spring of 68, Tang Weimin, He Jiali, and Zhang Qiufang stood together in front of a bulletin board, surrounded by a crowd of people.

The list of people going to the countryside and their assigned locations were posted on the bulletin board.

Tang Weimin anxiously looked for his name and finally found the three words "Tang Weimin" on the third piece of paper.

"Great! I've been assigned to Feixi!" Tang Weimin jumped up happily and turned to He Jiali and Zhang Qiufang beside him and asked:
"Where were you assigned?"

Zhang Qiufang said with a little disappointment: "I was assigned to Feidong."

He Jiali smiled and said, "I am also Feixi."

Tang Weimin said happily: "That's great, we are assigned to the same place, and we can take care of each other in the future."

He Jiali nodded, pulled Zhang Qiufang's hand in disappointment, and said, "It's a pity that the three of us can't be in the same place."

With the advent of the great era, all young people responded to the call and went to the countryside.

Tang Weimin and his classmates had already graduated from high school, and the college entrance examination was suspended, so everyone had no choice but to go to the countryside.

Tang Weimin and He Jiali are both the eldest in the family, so it is natural for them to go to the countryside.

Zhang Qiufang was a little special. She had an older brother, but her mother favored boys over girls, so she chose to send her, a girl, to the countryside.

Originally, the three of them were arranged in the same group, and there was a high probability that they were assigned to the same place.

Unfortunately, Zhang Qiufang was unlucky and was assigned to Feidong, and from then on she had to part ways with Tang Weimin.

Tang Weimin was excited at the moment and didn't care about Zhang Qiufang's disappointed expression at all.

"Jia Li, when we get to Feixi we can go find Youmin. He and the school teachers have established a rural medical station in Feixi." Tang Weimin said happily.

"How is Youmin now? He has been in college for almost three years! When will he graduate?" He Jiali asked.

"I don't know. I heard that after the college entrance examination was suspended, the teaching method of universities changed, and the 65 class of students had to delay graduation." Tang Weimin sighed, "I haven't seen Youmin for almost two years. I miss him so much."

"We will be able to meet soon." He Jiali actually wanted more the fish that Wang Gang caught and the chickens he hunted.

Zhang Qiufang saw that Tang Weimin and He Jiali were getting happier and happier as they chatted, and she felt very annoyed. She said, "I'm going home first. My mother is still waiting for news from me."

"Yes, my parents are waiting at home too!" Tang Weimin said, slapping his head.

The three of them went home together. On the way, they met many classmates who were all talking about going to the countryside, with youthful smiles on their faces.

After Tang Weimin returned home, Mrs. Tang immediately ran over and asked, "How is it going? Where were you assigned to?"

"Feixi." Tang Weimin laughed.

After hearing this, Boss Tang and Mrs. Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great. Youmin is also in Feixi. He can take care of you when you go there." Boss Tang said happily.

"I'll prepare some things for Youmin. You can bring them over when the time comes." The soup lady started to get busy.

"Mom, I'm not leaving for a few days, there's no rush to pack my things." Tang Weimin said speechlessly.

"I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some candy. You can take it with you to eat on the way. Also bring some for Youmin. I don't know if he is doing well over there." Mrs. Tang said worriedly.

"Didn't Youmin write to you about this? He went to the countryside with his teacher to build a medical station. He usually studies and doesn't have to work in the fields. He should be doing well. I am worried about Weimin." Elder Tang said to Tang Weimin:
"You grew up in the city and have never farmed. I don't know if you can adapt over there!"

If he had a choice, the eldest brother Tang really didn't want his eldest son to leave, but unfortunately the policy only allowed one child to stay at home, and Tang Zhenmin was still young, so Tang Weimin, as the eldest brother, had to go to the countryside when he became an adult.

"Fortunately, Youmin went to college, otherwise he would have to go to the countryside in two years. When will this life end?" Mrs. Tang sighed. "Be careful with your words." The eldest brother Tang closed the door nervously and warned: "It's a very dangerous place outside now, so be careful with your words."

Since being reminded by their son, the Tang family has been living very cautiously in the past three years, fearing that they would be caught in a weak spot. Boss Tang has been much more honest at work, being kind to others, and never getting involved in messy things!

"I know! I have to remind you every time Youmin writes to me. Now I have to think twice before I speak." Tang Pozi said speechlessly.

"Stop complaining. Aren't you going to the supply and marketing cooperative? Bring me a bottle of wine by the way." said Boss Tang.

"You still want to drink? You've been drinking more and more recently." Tang Pozi asked with concern: "Didn't Youmin write to say that there is some genetic disease in our family and we must pay attention to our diet?"

Big Boss Tang said nonchalantly: "I know my own body well. There is no such thing as a genetic disease. I think Youmin must have made a mistake."

Tang Pozi said: "Youmin said that the professor at the school confirmed it, so it must be correct. I want you and Weimin to pay attention to your diet, eat less sugar and oil, eat more whole grains, and quit smoking and drinking."

Big Boss Tang said impatiently: "I'm feeling very depressed at work right now. If I don't drink some wine, I'm afraid I'll suffocate to death!"

Seeing that his parents were about to quarrel again, Tang Weimin said, "Mom, I'd better go to the supply and marketing cooperative! You give me the money."

Recently, Boss Tang and Mrs. Tang have been arguing frequently over health issues, and Tang Weimin is fed up with hearing them.

The soup lady took out ten dollars, threw it to the eldest son, and then sat down with the eldest son to talk about how to maintain health.

"Don't forget to bring wine." Boss Tang reminded.

"You are not allowed to buy wine." Tangpo said loudly.

Tang Weimin didn't want to be caught between his parents and feel bullied, so he quickly ran away.

He did not go to the supply and marketing cooperative first, but went to He's house.

Ever since Boss Tang stopped targeting He Changsheng three years ago, the relationship between the two families has been restored a lot, and Tang Weimin can now go to the He family openly.

"Grandma He, Uncle He, Aunt Liu!" Tang Weimin walked straight into the He family and saw the entire He family gathered in the yard.

"Weimin is here! I heard that you were also assigned to Feixi." He Changsheng was quite kind when he saw Tang Weimin.

"Uncle Liu, I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something. Do you want to take anything?" Tang Weimin glanced at He Jiali.

Liu Meixin is pregnant again, and it has been almost seven months. She is starting to have trouble moving around.

"Jia Li, you and Tang Weimin go to the supply and marketing cooperative together and see if there is anything you need. Just feel free to spend money to buy it." He Changsheng took out twenty yuan and stuffed it into He Jia Li's hand.

"Dad, I don't have anything to buy." He Jiali refused.

"You don't know when you will be back after you leave, so buy everything you need." He Changsheng said with red eyes.

"Dad." He Jiali said sadly: "Dad, I'm not home, you have to take care of yourselves."

He Wen wiped her tears and said, "When you get to Feixi, you must help Tang Weimin. Life in the countryside is hard, so write back if you need anything."

He Jiali was brought up by He Wenshi. Now that she is leaving, she is the one who is most reluctant to let her go.

"Grandma." He Jiali hugged her grandma and cried bitterly.

Liu Meixin couldn't bear to watch it anymore and said, "Okay! It's not the day to leave yet, why are you crying like this?"

He Changsheng sighed and said, "Isn't it because I can't bear to leave my daughter?"

Liu Meixin said disapprovingly: "My daughter will eventually get married, you can cry then!" (End of this chapter)
