Hu Weiwen finally was persuaded and agreed to go to Inner Mongolia. Hu Yaohan had wanted to pull some strings, but Hu Weiwen refused, saying there were very few people going to Inner Mongolia, and it would suffice just to give the head teacher a heads-up, as the school would be more than happy about it.
At this time, the Inner Mongolia Production and Construction Corps was in the midst of expanding its scale and recruiting everywhere. However, many Shanghai people were reluctant to go to such remote regions like Inner Mongolia. They thought that although Yunnan was also tough, at least it was inland, which somehow felt more comforting to them.
"Then you'd better hurry up and go change it now," Zhou Yali urged Hu Weiwen.
Hu Weiwen had no choice but to ride his bicycle out, and he didn't return until lunch was on the table. "I've changed it. I'm going to Production and Construction Corps in Ulanqab, the 21st battalion."
