Chapter 486: Chapter 487 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 4_1

When the two left the street, they both felt dizzy, "So, we’re really going to the Northeast now."

Feng Dan knew she had to leave home for the Northeast and had made her preparations, but when it actually came time to say goodbye, she still felt reluctant to leave.

"Yes, it’s all so sudden, but I’m glad that I have you," Shen Jie felt fortunate, though she didn’t know when the original owner’s time would end, at least they had caught up.

"It’s all thanks to you coming to find me," Feng Dan said as they walked, a look of gratitude on her face, "When we get to the farm, it might be strictly managed, but at least we won’t be bullied."

Occasionally, they had heard about the experiences of some sent-down youth; saying they weren’t worried would be a lie, but there was no choice, one had to become a sent-down youth.

Fortunately, heaven seemed to favor them, and they could go to the farm, "We really are so lucky."

"Right, we really are very lucky," Shen Jie thought it over, "No, I need to go back and tell my parents not to let my cousins know about this."

"Otherwise, if we end up on the same farm..." Shen Jie’s face was guarded.

She also knew Shen Yuan wouldn’t sign up so quickly; she was waiting for Gao Jian, and Gao Jian had some family matters to take care of before he could register after sorting them out.

Now she felt truly grateful that his family had encountered those issues; otherwise, she could have been very upset.

"Exactly, exactly," Feng Dan nodded incessantly, "That way we can avoid them."

When Shen Jie returned home, she gave her household registration book to her grandmother, and there was now a remark on it showing that her registration had been moved out.

With the certification from the street office, they could move their registration upon arrival there.

"Granny, I’ll be leaving in a couple of days."

"We’re fortunate this time; we’re going to the Northeast Construction Farm," Shen Jie knew the old lady would be reluctant to let her go.

Ah, leaving in just a few days? Lady Shen Li hadn’t expected it to be so rushed, "That soon?"

"Yes, I said it was urgent, and the street director mentioned they wouldn’t come to recruit from The South if there wasn’t a rush."

"But Feng Dan said that the farm is safer, better than going to a commune."

Just as Shen Jie was about to explain more, "I know, that farm is safe."

"Don’t worry, in a couple of days we will go shopping for supplies and start packing, then we’ll have your dad inform them that you have already signed up with a classmate."

Lady Shen Li didn’t care what Shen Jiansheng would think; the registration was already done, and the departure was imminent – anger would serve no purpose.

"Ah, we’ll buy supplies here?" Shen Jie had not thought of buying things at home to take to the Northeast; she had planned to travel light.

But it turned out that the old lady meant to buy things here, bearing in mind that they would have to change trains on the way to the Northeast.

"The farm should have supplies, right?"

"Haven’t you thought about it? The farm has its supply and marketing cooperative, but with so many sent-down youth joining suddenly, can the resources keep up?"

"You registered early; you should be able to get new supplies." Many sent-down youth at home were causing a fuss, not wanting to go.

Supplies were surely adequate and should be attainable, the old lady paused, "If not, take your vouchers to the Northeast and buy new ones there."

"There’s no need. If there’s nothing new, using old items will do just fine." It was all for her use; there was no need for everything to be new.

"What if they don’t have it there?"

"Moreover, there’s a time limit to consider." Once expired, there would be no replacements, so they couldn’t afford to waste the opportunity.

The old lady stared at Shen Jie for a long time and saw no sign of discomfort in her expression, "Alright then."

They already owed enough to this child; they would make it up to her during her wedding in the future.

Thinking this, the old lady remembered something important, "Xiao Jie, if you can’t adapt there, you can take a leave of absence, take a long sick leave if necessary."

"Come back home; there will always be a meal for you here." It wasn’t just about making a few black-market procurement trips for food; their family wasn’t without money, it just meant not saving.

Above all, they couldn’t let their own child suffer there, "Don’t care what others say, we live our own life."

The old lady knew her youngest grandson Xiao Hui was not in good health, and all the family’s focus was on him. It was only when he grew up a little and his health improved,

that they realized how much quieter Xiao Jie had become, not sharing things with them anymore. Luckily, she had Xiao Hui; their sibling relationship was good.

They had thought that with Xiao Hui around, things wouldn’t be too bad, but they forgot that children grow up and have their own secrets, not everything would be revealed.

If the young girl hadn’t been severely bullied by Shen Yuan, she probably wouldn’t have spoken up.

"I know." In her previous life, the Shen family had also told the original host the same, but she was worried about becoming a burden if she returned, so she didn’t come back.

Having another chance, Shen Jie certainly wouldn’t try to be too strong. Having been a sent-down youth herself, she knew how hard it truly was.

Back then, even being deployed close to home as a sent-down youth, being able to return each year, was difficult. Now, being a sent-down youth in the Northeast, she had no idea when she might be able to return.

If things turned out to be very tough, there really was no point in insisting, "If I can’t persist, I will come back."

"And Granny, I won’t just eat for free, I can do handcraft work at home."

Lady Shen Li occasionally took some handicraft jobs from the street office; although the income was modest, it did help with household expenses.

"No need, Xiao Hui will soon have an income, modest though it may be."

"Your parents and I have discussed it. Once he starts earning, he will send you half of his income every month."

Although it was somewhat unbelievable, if it hadn’t been for her concession, Xiao Hui might not even have taken the job.

Ah, was it possible that half of Xiao Hui’s income would be hers, sent to her monthly? Why wasn’t there any record of such an amount in the original host’s memories?

Given their attitude towards and fondness for the original owner, now that the old lady had said so, she would certainly make it happen; there was no chance of going back on her word.

If that was the case, then where was the problem, and who took the money? Shen Jie quickly thought of one person.

Apart from her, no one else would do such a thing. Shen Jie just wanted to say that Shen Yuan was truly beyond redemption.

But the family was also strange, why didn’t they mention it even once in their letters? If they had, the original host would not have been so clueless.

Shen Jie could only express her utter speechlessness; what an awkward family, truly incomprehensible in their thinking.

The perplexed Shen Jie didn’t bother to ponder any further. After all, her destiny had changed, and even if Shen Yuan got wind of it and went to the street office to sign up, what then?

The farm was so vast; they might not be assigned together, and even if they were, she wasn’t the foolish girl who would let Shen Yuan take advantage of her under the guise of so-called cousinly love.
