Huo Zhekun disagrees!
"Not now, there's going to be a major upheaval in Nanshi soon," Huo Zhekun said. "I'm planning to transfer Old He and his wife out of town!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Lifang was even more unable to sleep. "Didn't we already clarify things with the organization? Why are we still being pushed out?"
Huo Zhekun sighed, “Times have changed! Nanshi is a place of trouble. I’m in a government department and can’t leave. Moreover, because of Lao He’s family, I’m constrained in my work. I’m thinking of using the opportunity of supporting agricultural development in remote areas to transfer Lao He and his wife to Huaishi. That way, Lao He won’t be the subject of investigation or supervision, but rather a dedicated agricultural researcher.”
Jiang Lifang was surprised and uncertain, unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"If we go to Huai City, will we be able to be with Tian Tian?" Jiang Lifang asked. "Shuping misses her daughter so much that she can't eat or sleep well."
“Possibly,” Huo Zhekun said. “There are many mountains and little land over there. If fruit trees can be planted, it would be a good decision to adapt to local conditions. The cadres in Huai City applied to the central government. As you know, things are even more chaotic in the north. They don’t have the energy to deal with Huai City’s affairs. They just passed the matter down to the lower levels. So I think I should agree.”
"Won't this affect Mr. and Mrs. He?" Jiang Lifang asked nervously. "Old Huo, you can't hurt Mr. and Mrs. He! Our two families have been neighbors for over ten years, and we have such a good relationship. There's also Yingjie and Tiantian's marriage in between. You can't do anything reckless!"
Huo Zhekun hugged his wife and said with a smile, "Of course I wouldn't harm the He family. I'm protecting them. Rather than being investigated in Nanshi, it's better to go to Huaishi to use my strengths and make my own contributions. That way, the He couple's files will definitely be full of praise."
Hearing her husband say this, Jiang Lifang felt slightly relieved, but still cautiously said, "Old Huo, you should ask Old He first. If they are unwilling, don't force them!"
"Okay, I understand. I won't force them," Huo Zhekun said. "Alright, it's getting late. Go to sleep. I have a lot to do tomorrow!"
With her husband's assurance, Jiang Lifang fell asleep, having long forgotten that her husband had led her astray, and the topic had shifted from He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie to He Jingyu and Wang Shuping.
Huo Zhekun found an opportunity to discuss this matter with He Jingyu!
He Jingyu was taken aback and asked, "You want me to go?"
Their agricultural research institute also received a notice, hoping they would demonstrate their spirit of dedication and volunteer. However, the notice had been issued for several days, and no one was willing to leave their hometown to go to the remote mountainous area.
Huai City, Ontario, does indeed have many mountains, and conditions are much harsher than those in South City, Jiangsu Province!
“I know the conditions there are tough, but I’m only suggesting you and your sister-in-law go for your own good,” Huo Zhekun explained. “First, there’s a big operation going on in Yanjing, and things aren’t stable in Nanshi either. If you stay here, you’ll definitely be affected. Second, if you volunteer to go and contribute to a place with tough conditions, no one can use your family’s overseas connections against you, so you, your wife, and even Tian Tian will be very safe. Finally, Tian Tian is in Taoyuan County in Huai City! If you handle things well and get selected for Taoyuan County, you can see Tian Tian more often.”
Huo Zhekun's analysis was very logical, and He Jingyu fell into deep thought.
Although he and his wife were the hardest working and achieved the most results at the research institute, they would not be promoted no matter how much they did because of this connection.
They felt frustrated more than once, but there was nothing they could do!
“The reasons you gave are quite valid. Compared to Nanshi, Huaishi is more suitable for my research. The grain grown on farmland is not enough to eat, let alone be used for fruit trees. Going to a place with more mountains can indeed yield results,” He Jingyu said. “I’ll go back and talk to Shuping. If she agrees, I’ll volunteer at my workplace.”
"Alright, you two should discuss it carefully," Huo Zhekun said. "I'll say a few more words to you in private, but you absolutely mustn't leak it out."
He Jingyu replied seriously, "Go ahead and tell me, I'll keep it a secret!"
“Nanshi is heavily influenced by Yanjing. Although it’s now under our control, who knows what will happen in the future? On the other hand, Anhui Province is remote and mountainous, so Yanjing doesn’t pay much attention to it. We have complete control over it. You won’t be in any danger if you go there, trust me,” Huo Zhekun said softly, explaining to He Jingyu to avoid worrying him.
This was the result of a discussion with my son and father before the Lunar New Year.
He Jingyu nodded and said, "I believe you."
If Huo Zhekun wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't need to go to such great lengths.
He felt the atmosphere in Nanshi was a bit awkward, and leaving might be a good choice.
After returning home, He Jingyu told his wife, Wang Shuping, about Huo Zhekun's intentions.
Wang Shuping pondered for a moment and said, "Old He, let's go!"
He Jingyu asked in surprise, "Why were you so decisive this time?"
Wang Shuping smiled bitterly and said, "I've felt uncomfortable at work for the past two weeks. The person in charge of supervising and investigating me often appears unexpectedly behind me, which has startled me a few times. I think the policy might have changed, and staying here won't bring any good. Now that I'm going out under the guise of support and dedication, those people can't keep appearing and disappearing to investigate me anymore."
Wang Shuping was truly terrified; she didn't want to live like this anymore.
It would be even better if I could see my daughter in Huai City!
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have paid attention. I've been seeing the same thing around me lately." He Jingyu suddenly realized, "Luckily, we have Lao Huo here, otherwise we really wouldn't know how we would have gotten through this crisis!"
"Yes, let's go talk to Lao Huo now," Wang Shuping urged. "We agreed tonight, and we'll apply at work tomorrow!"
Although Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang were reluctant to part with them, they knew that it was not suitable for them to stay in Nanshi at the moment, so they could only wish them well in Huaishi.
When Wang Shuping returned home, she tidied up her belongings and locked them up to prevent them from being stolen.
As for the family heirlooms, they hid them in a very secret place, so that no one else would ever guess. They didn't plan to dig them up during their trip to Huai City; they would leave them there until they returned.
This house belongs to the He family, and the land use certificate is in He Jingyu's name. As long as the three of them are alive, she is not worried about anyone taking away their yard.
The following morning, He Jingyu and Wang Shuping applied to their respective work units to respond to the call of the nation and their units to go to Huai City.
The institute director was very pleased and praised their dedication, which showed no fear of hardship or fatigue, on the spot, writing excellent comments in their files.
At the same time, a commendation meeting was held for the couple as role models, calling on them to learn from He Jingyu and Wang Shuping's selfless dedication.
He Jingyu received the transfer order and set off three days later.
Before setting off, they had to pack their luggage.
At first, they were a little apprehensive, but seeing the significant change in the organization's attitude towards them, they were completely reassured.
This decision was correct.
