Ouyang Yi is Anjie's brother-in-law. She was sent to Montenegro because she was outspoken. For more than ten years, she has been flattered by the Jiang Defu family. After her recovery, Ouyang Yi specially led her wife and daughter to Jiang Defu's house to say goodbye, which is also a kind of gratitude for their years of care. At the farewell party, Ouyang Yi cried bitterly after drinking, and all these years' grievances and dissatisfaction can be seen in his eyes. Although Jiang Defu and Ouyang Yi have fought all their lives, they are both unhappy.
Ouyang Yi appreciates Jiang Defu's integrity and kindness, while Jiang Defu appreciates Ouyang Yi's culture and emotional appeal. Therefore, seeing that Ouyang Yi is so down and out, he knows that even if he returns to Qingdao, it will be difficult for him to find a good job for a while, but Jiang Defu also said that their two daughters are difficult to arrange, so many young viewers may not understand. Their daughter is both literate and beautiful. How can it be difficult for them to find jobs when they go back to Qingdao? Why did Jiang Defu bother to arrange for these two girls to be soldiers?
As we all know, in this play, Jiang Defu's image has always been tall, upright, selfless and responsible, but after the play, many people said that Jiang Defu used his power for personal gain to arrange not only two men and one woman in his own family, but also children of relatives, such as An Yi, the daughter of Angie's eldest brother Antai, Enron and Anno of Ouyang Yi's family, and even Jiang Changyi and even illiterate Yan Feng. This requires us to talk about it in the context of history.
At that time, New China had just been established, the industrial model was still immature, and the whole society was still in the stage of agricultural society. At that time, the problem of urban youth employment was very prominent, so educated youth were arranged to go to the countryside to support agricultural construction. However, for urban youth whose parents have formal jobs, the principle of job arrangement is to arrange self-digestion on the spot, which means that the employment problem of the children of employees in this unit is solved by the office.
The nature of Jiang Defu's work determines that he can't directly arrange jobs for his children, and other local units basically don't absorb his children, so they can only arrange for them to be soldiers, and then establish themselves in the army through their own efforts. Therefore, Jiang Defu's arrangement of children to serve as soldiers was actually in line with the policy at that time, and it was not abuse of power for personal gain.
In this context, as long as parents have no formal jobs and relatives in the family work in the army, they will entrust their children to the army. At that time, being a soldier was a very good choice for people from poor families.
Although Ouyang Yi has been rehabilitated and can return to the city life with his wife and daughter, he can't find a suitable job at the moment. In other words, Ouyang Yi and his wife are likely to stay at home for a period of time, and their daughter is likely to go to the countryside as an educated youth during this period, which is by no means a good way out for a girl.
