Chapter 60 Mental Illness and Bedwetting

One characteristic of the household registration policy of this era is that children follow their mother's household registration.

Just like Qin Huairu in the Siheyuan, she had a rural household registration but married into the city, so her three children all had rural household registration and could not eat the commercial grain of the Jia family.

It was not until Qin Huairu took over Jia Dongxu's job and entered the steel rolling mill that the three children's identities were changed to urban household registration.

Children like Shen Qingyu, who followed their parents there, naturally followed their mother's household registration.

In other words, in the past few years, Shen Qingyu had always had a rural household registration until her parents came back and her household registration was moved back.

But after moving back, another problem arose. Shen Qingyu was 17 years old, and it was time for educated youth to go to the countryside.

At this time, the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside had not yet been abolished, but there was still room for it.

For example, if there are multiple children in the family, one can stay in the hometown and there is no need to move to the countryside.

So if Shen Juncheng doesn't come back, the other children in the Shen family will all be educated youth, and Shen Qingyu can stay in Beijing.

On the contrary, if Shen Juncheng comes back, Shen Qingyu will have to go to the countryside for the second time and change his urban household registration to a rural household registration again.

After hearing this, Li Changhe was also dumbfounded. There was such a sudden change.

However, Li Changhe remembered that by the year of reform and opening up, not many people had gone to the countryside.

To put it bluntly, with the events of the previous year, the enforcement of this policy may have been terminated in disguise, but the clear policy has not ended.

"I don't think this matter is as bad as I thought. I see that the commune doesn't mention going to the countryside much anymore, and the slogan is no longer promoted. I think this matter will soon be terminated. Even if you come back, Qingyu should not have to go to the countryside."

Li Changhe also had no specific memory and could only speak based on his own cognitive analysis.

Shen Juncheng nodded: "My parents said the same thing, but it's hard to say for sure. If Qingyu goes down again after I come back, she's a young girl, it's better for her to stay down there. I can't take the risk."

"Anyway, I have never had to worry about food and drink down there in the past few years, but the food is not as good as what we have here."

"That's right. We men are thick-skinned and we are used to staying down there. I think you should be back in a year at most."

Li Changhe nodded and said.

"By the way, Changhe, don't just blame me, how are you doing? How did you get sick and become relegated?"

"You don't drink foot washing water every day, do you?"

Shen Juncheng asked Li Changhe curiously at this time.

In the letter Li Changhe wrote to Shen Juncheng, he only said that he had to return to the city due to illness, but did not give the specific reason.

"Bah, you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. My buddy got injured while trying to save someone."

"Actually, I just had a headache at the time. I was bored, so I was talking nonsense. Actually, I was just entertaining myself."

"The doctor was totally confused. He thought there was something wrong with my brain. I don't know where he heard about mental illness, but he diagnosed me with mental damage."

"When the boss heard me, he thought I was going to be a fool, so he quickly approved my return to the city. To be honest, I didn't want to leave at all!"

Of course Li Changhe couldn't say that he had traveled through time, so he brought out the boasting attitude of a tough guy in his memory and started bragging to Shen Juncheng.

It is a coincidence, after all, few hospitals have psychiatric departments these days, but there are specialized psychiatric hospitals.

"That's not right. If you come back this time, you have to go to the hospital for follow-up visits and take medicine regularly."

At this time, Zhu Lin looked at Li Changhe in surprise and said.

These days mental illness is a statutory illness that needs to be registered, reported and treated.

Zhu Lin is in Union Medical College, so he naturally knows this.

"Wait until I finish."

"That's why I came back to the city, but that's not what my file says."

"I didn't know this at first, but later I found out that this diagnosis report is not good. I will suffer if I come back with a report of mental problems. I would rather not go back to the city than do this."

"So later on, I said I was fine. I was fine. I just had a headache. You can't judge me as having a mental disorder like that. Why don't we go to a mental hospital for testing?"

"Those hospitals down there don't have the diagnostic capabilities. They can't really take me to a psychiatric hospital for a test. It's hundreds of kilometers away."

"Besides, I was fine in the first place. I just said I was just in a trance at the time."

"The higher-ups had already agreed to my retirement due to illness at that time. The people in the education office of the commune thought I was normal, and after discussing it with the doctor when he was writing the report, they changed my status. So I went back to the city." Li Changhe finished explaining the reason with a smile.

He didn't really pay attention to this problem when he first came here. In fact, he thought about it when he was filling out the information form. At that time, his medical retirement process had already begun.

Li Changhe immediately used his eloquence and successfully changed his own file.

Zhu Lin couldn't help but shook his head: "Your commune is doing good things to the end. They sent you back."

"I really have to thank the clerk of the commune. He could have seen that I wanted to go back to the city at that time, so he went along with it and didn't expose it."

"But to be honest, I really didn't go back to the city to save people on purpose. It was just a coincidence. He had already asked me to return to the city due to illness, so I played dumb at that time."

Li Changhe said with emotion.

The people in the commune are all shrewd people. They must have seen through Li Changhe's intentions and just went with the flow.

Besides, those people were all arrested and the place was in chaos.

Anyway, the higher-ups have agreed to my retirement due to illness, so it doesn’t matter how the file is written.

"But the best is yet to come. When I came back and reported to our Youth League Office, the HR officer didn't write that I was retired due to illness, but wrote that it was due to family needs."

"In his words, I performed well during my time in the countryside and came back to save people. It would be easier to find a job if I wrote it as a family need. I was forced to retire due to illness, which would affect my job search."

"That officer is also a good person!"

To be honest, Li Changhe was quite surprised when he saw it, but the clerk gave him a knowing smile, and it seemed that he was very familiar with doing this.

Who says there are no good people in this era? Most of them are actually good people.

"No, is there really anyone in your area who recovered from illness by drinking foot washing water?"

Li Changhe thought of what Shen Juncheng had just said, and then asked curiously.

"It's not real foot-washing water, it's just some dirty water. We jokingly call it foot-washing water, but we actually drank it. We drank it and got kidney disease."

"But compared to the other one, his is nothing."

"A buddy of ours in the educated youth's house did something to get back to the city. Do you know what he did?"

"I wet the bed every day. I pee on the bed in the middle of the night!"

"The room smelled like that every night. I urinated for more than a month. The room was uninhabitable."

"There was nothing we could do. The hospital just wrote him off as having bed-wetting and really gave him medical retirement!"

Shen Juncheng looked disgusted when he spoke of this, and it was obvious that that period of time had tortured him greatly.

Li Changhe was also very surprised to hear this, these are all talented people!

"Is there no one in your place who has learned this? Can you return to the city with this?"

Li Changhe asked jokingly with a smile.

"Why didn't anyone learn? There must be someone who learned. They got up to pee in the middle of the night. But what was my mind at the time? How could I tolerate that? These people wanted to be deserters of the educated youth, but I wouldn't let them do what they wanted."

"Brother, we must reform him!"

"I got up in the middle of the night and beat that guy up. Several other guys in the room also joined in and beat him up together."

"We will take turns at night, and if we find that guy trying to pee on the bed, we will get up and beat him up."

"Later, that fellow was beaten up and retired with wounds on his face and nose!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Hearing this, Li Changhe, Zhu Lin and Shen Qingyu couldn't help laughing.

These words sound funny, but besides being funny, they also seem absurd. However, this is what we see in daily life in this era.

The four of them ate and chatted, and in the end, they finished all the five dishes. Li Changhe and Shen Juncheng were naturally the main forces here.

After eating, Li Changhe and Shen Juncheng made an appointment to meet again, and then went their separate ways.

Li Changhe and Zhu Lin were too lazy to go back to the dormitory, so they just rode their bikes home.
