"What's so great about working in a food factory?" Shen Ningning asked, puzzled.
It's important to know that universities are directly managed by ministries.
Going from a university president to the Party Secretary of a food factory in the city was like a triple demotion for her father—something he could never have imagined!
How many people, once they found out, were just laughing at us?
The reason her father suffered this misfortune was because a former leader he had always followed got into trouble, and he was implicated as a result.
Although the old man had a premonition and was mentally prepared.
He remained calm after receiving the transfer order, handed over his work that same day, and has already started packing his bags these past two days...
But everyone knows how much pain he was actually in.
Now, not only Shen Ningning is afraid to upset her father, but she also speaks to him very carefully.
Even her unruly younger brother has started to tuck his tail between his legs and speak carefully, watching his father's expression.
I was afraid that saying the wrong thing would upset the old man even more.
Shen Ningning never expected Shi Yue to react this way after hearing the news!
Moreover, her happiness was clearly genuine, without the slightest hint of pretense.
"Of course I'm happy!" Shiyue replied in a matter-of-fact tone when Shen Ningning asked.
"Where is better, school or food factory? Uncle Shen who stayed at school is getting old, and he looks like he's been driven crazy by those students!"
The workers at the food factory are all afraid of the managers, so they definitely won't let Uncle get away with anything. Besides, once he goes there, the family will never lack food again!
"Pfft!" Shen Ningning burst out laughing.
What a child!
It's not that simple.
Shen Ningning glanced at her father and noticed a hint of a smile in the old man's eyes.
She suddenly realized that Shiyue was right.
Dad went to the food factory, which definitely keeps him away from those dirty things and dirty people.
Thinking about it this way, it's actually a good thing!
So she loudly expressed her approval.
“That’s right! I also think going to the food factory would be a good idea. Maybe our family could buy some non-staple foods without ration coupons.”
"Nonsense, you can't take advantage of public resources anywhere."
Although he knew his daughter was joking, Shen Yuanbai still scolded her.
But it was clear that thanks to Shiyue's witty remarks, his mood had improved considerably since he entered the room.
While Shiyue was talking to the Shen family father and daughter, He Lixuan was also chatting with Song Wen.
Having picked up his junior apprentice, Song Wen went to the office to say hello and then took He Lixuan home.
This was He Lixuan's first visit to Song Wen's house.
Song Wen lived in the municipal party committee's single dormitory.
However, since there are not many young cadres in the municipal party committee, his housing is relatively spacious, a small two-bedroom apartment.
Since Song Wen has only been married for a little over a year and doesn't have children yet, this house is more than enough for the young couple.
"I just had someone pass on a message to your sister-in-law, asking her to bring some food back from their hospital cafeteria after get off work. The food there is much better than what we have at the municipal government cafeteria."
While tidying up the books on the table and bench, Song Wen said to He Lixuan.
"I'm fine with any cafeteria's food, as long as it's not made by you, I won't be picky."
He Lixuan glanced around the room as he answered casually.
Hearing this, Song Wen looked up, smiled, and pointed at He Lixuan with his hand: "You said you weren't picky, but you're the pickiest person in the whole family. So what if I burned the rice when I was cooking for you? You're going to remember that one time for the rest of your life!"
He Lixuan smiled but didn't reply, clearly showing that the incident had indeed left a deep impression on him.
"Your teacher wrote to me before you even left, but the journey took a long time, so I only just received it. How are you doing? Are you settling in with the countryside? Are you eating well?"
"It's alright," He Lixuan said calmly.
"Not bad?" Song Wen asked rhetorically, his expression clearly showing disbelief: "The hygiene over there isn't as good as at home."
He Lixuan paused for a moment, then smiled at Song Wen: "But my parents still sent me there."
Song Wen fell silent.
To be honest, he was also very surprised when he saw the letter from his teacher.
He works for the municipal party committee, so he has more ways to get information and knows many things earlier than others.
Song Wen knew that sending educated youth to the countryside was an inevitable trend, and that more urban youth would go to the countryside in the future.
But he didn't think his junior brother should be included among these people.
He Lixuan is different from others; he will graduate from university in a year.
Moreover, he studied bridge construction, which is a talent that the country urgently needs!
With his excellent grades and connections with his teachers, he could potentially get a direct job in a ministry in the future!
Song Wen couldn't understand why the teacher insisted on sending Li Xuan to a remote rural area as an educated youth.
But by the time he received the news, his junior brother had already gone to the countryside, so it was clear that his teacher had no intention of consulting him on this matter.
What solutions could Song Wenneng possibly have?
He sent a telegram to summon He Lixuan, partly to help him establish his authority.
Having spent the last few years in officialdom, Song Wen, though still just a low-ranking official, is no longer the bookish scholar he once was.
He knew that letting those brigade cadres know that his junior brother had connections would only benefit him, not harm him.
Of course, another reason was that Song Wen wanted to talk to his junior brother and learn about his teacher's thoughts from him.
If possible, he wanted to do everything he could to find a different place for his junior brother.
Even if they are seconded to the city, there are ways to make arrangements.
