The news that Zhou Mingli's family was going to Beijing didn't spread much, since not many people knew about it. Everyone was busy with work every day, and the Zhou family lived in a relatively remote area.
Whatever Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci do, as long as they don't wander around the village, few people will know.
Zhou Gou and the Yu family weren't the type to gossip, so when Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli went to the captain to discuss this matter, the captain looked at them in surprise, "You're all going to Beijing?"
"I remember you, Jiang, weren't you an educated youth from Beijing? If you wanted to return to the city, shouldn't you go back to your home? Why are you going to Beijing? And what about the second son?" The brigade leader looked Zhou Mingli up and down. "Your household registration is rural, not urban. What use is going to Beijing?"
That's the situation now. If anything happens in any household that involves going out, it can't be kept from the brigade leader.
Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci hadn't intended to hide it from the team leader, so they said, "A friend of mine said there's an opportunity to get a permanent position in Beijing and he can recommend me, so I thought I'd give it a try."
The captain looked at Zhou Mingli in even greater shock, "Really?! You're not kidding me!"
Zhou Mingli said helplessly, "Why would I lie to you? If I didn't have some news, I wouldn't have come to you for a letter of introduction."
Seeing that both he and Jiang Ci looked serious, the captain's suspicions lessened considerably. After a moment's thought, he asked, "So, your whole family... are you all going over there?"
Zhou Mingli nodded, paused, and added with a smile, "If I don't bring them along, am I supposed to let my wife take the two kids to the brigade?"
The captain thought so too.
He took out the letter of introduction and said, "Your wife's letter needs to be stamped at the educated youth center in town, and then at the town government. Then you can go."
He handed the items to Zhou Mingli, looked at Zhou Mingli, and then at Jiang Ci. "I really didn't expect you guys could actually go to Beijing!"
The brigade leader leaned close to Jiang Ci's ear, feigning mystery, and whispered, "Is it because of that guy in the cowshed...?"
Jiang Ci smiled without saying a word.
Seeing this, how could the captain not understand?
The Jiang family was able to obtain this good fortune because Jiang Ci took certain risks.
If things go wrong, Jiang Ci could end up like those people before him, being sent to the far northwest.
Jiangci took this risk, so it deserves all the benefits.
The captain wasn't jealous, but patted Zhou Mingli on the shoulder with envy, "Beijing is much bigger than here. You two, don't act like troublemakers after you get to Beijing!"
"You all cause trouble outside, but nobody steps up to smooth things over!"
Jiang Ci was displeased. "Captain, we are all civilized people, how could we possibly cause trouble?"
Captain: "Hehe."
Just look at how much trouble Jiangci has caused in the countryside over the years!
After exchanging pleasantries with the captain, Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci took some time to go to town and get all the necessary stamps affixed to the letter of introduction.
That's why people say having connections makes everything easier.
At the youth settlement, someone had already taken care of everything, and the town government was even faster.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli had just arrived when Cuihua's father came out.
After learning the purpose of their visit, Cuihua's father saw that Jiang Ci's letter of introduction already had the stamp of the educated youth center. Without saying a word, he and his men stamped it as well.
"Comrade Jiang, your family is no ordinary people."
After getting rid of Sun Jiancheng, whom Cuihua's father loathed, he looked haggard, but at least he had recovered well and seemed more energetic.
Cuihua's father smiled and glanced at Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli.
This couple is quite interesting. When ordinary people see the Party Secretary, even if they are not very polite, they will at least bow slightly and speak with flattery and respect.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli, however, did not. They looked him in the eye and spoke to him with respect, but without any other hidden meanings.
"I'm afraid I can't get promoted at my age. I, Zhao Wen, owe you a favor. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. Of course, this request..."
Cuihua's father didn't finish his sentence, but Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli still understood.
He will help if he can, but he won't help them do anything bad.
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "We just did a small favor. Catching such a villain as Sun Jiancheng is a good thing, like ridding the people of a scourge. Otherwise, if he had been promoted, who knows how many people he would have harmed? Don't you agree?"
Cuihua's father nodded seriously, "He originally had the opportunity to be transferred to Beijing this year, but fortunately the internal referral has not yet been processed."
Jiang Ci seemed to remember something and asked, "Then, Secretary, your grandson...?"
When Cuihua's father mentioned his grandson, his expression suddenly turned sour.
He gave a cold laugh. "We've spoiled him so much that he's become so arrogant and ignorant, so naturally we have to correct him."
"That kid has never suffered any hardship. Now all the preferential treatment he received is gone. He eats cornbread and porridge every day, and he's become more obedient."
"But we still have to break it off."
That's true. The Zhao family only has one grandson. If they don't raise him properly, Zhao Cuihua will have to find another man to marry and have a second child.
"Aren't you going to change his surname?"
Cuihua's father: "It's been changed. His name is now Zhao Shanjun! I hope he will be kind in the future and not become that kind of treacherous person!"
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli: "..."
The secretary's resentment towards Sun Jiancheng was almost palpable.
After leaving the town government, Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli took advantage of the time they had to go to the hospital.
They then bought some more things for Dr. Jiang and told him about their trip to Beijing.
It will be difficult to come back for a follow-up visit in the future.
Dr. Jiang glanced at what they had bought, then her gaze swept over Jiang Ci. She slowly wrote down a note: “This is my junior brother’s address in Beijing. Your illness won’t heal that quickly. Even if you get to Beijing, you still need to have the necessary check-ups. I will tell him your medical records. If you don’t go, then pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Before Jiang Ci could even speak, Zhou Mingli stepped forward, picked up the papers, read them, and then carefully put them back in his pocket. "Don't worry, we will go to the doctor on time."
"You look much better now. There are so many good things to buy in Beijing. Don't neglect yourself in the future. Eat and drink what you want. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing." Dr. Jiang rambled on for a while, then, with other patients waiting, she started to urge them on.
Jiang Ci felt helpless but didn't say anything. After putting down the things she bought for Dr. Jiang, she waved to him and left the consultation room.
This Dr. Jiang may be stubborn and sarcastic, but he has a soft heart.
The donkey-hide gelatin and milk powder he bought for her and her two children last time must have cost more than two yuan.
Because Jiang Ci had previously discussed her trip to Beijing with Tao Susu, she didn't specifically seek her out this time.
Jiang Ci felt that Tao Susu and Shen Conghe probably wouldn't stay here for long.
Jiang Ci's idea was actually correct.
