Zhongmo Town.
After finishing his morning work, Cuihua's father heard from those around him that a large number of educated youth were constantly heading to the educated youth settlement, asking the people at the settlement to issue them letters of introduction.
They were also having a headache about this.
The return of a large number of educated youth to the cities not only had a huge impact on big cities, but also on the countryside, causing many families to break up.
Because there were a large number of female educated youth among them, male educated youth inevitably married local men and women and had children after going to the countryside.
When the wave of returning to the city arrived, unmarried educated youth left without a care, but married educated youth, upon learning that they could go home, would even divorce and abandon their children to escape back to the city rather than stay in the countryside.
This has already caused considerable chaos in Zhongmo Town.
Cuihua's father was so busy that he was almost overwhelmed. Now that he was about to go to eat, he was still listening to his colleagues and the town mayor talk about this matter, and he couldn't eat for a while.
"Secretary Zhao, there's a phone call for you."
A clerk caught up with Cuihua's father and said.
Upon hearing this, Cuihua's father stopped in his tracks, using it as an excuse to separate from the group and avoid hearing their annoying tales.
"You guys go eat first, I'll take this call."
"Alright, we'll head over there first."
The town mayor and his entourage left first, then Cuihua's father went back, took the phone, and said, "Hello, this is Zhao Wen."
"Old Zhao! You finally answered the phone! I've been waiting for you for ages!"
Upon hearing this voice, Cuihua's father hesitated for a moment, "Old Liu?"
"It's me! Old classmate, it's only been half a year since we last contacted each other, you don't already recognize my voice, do you?"
Cuihua's father laughed and said, "How could that be? You're so busy, how could I dare to bother you?"
Old Liu: "Even when I'm busy, I still think about you, my old classmate."
Cuihua's father then asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"
“I just remembered something. Last time we talked on the phone, you said your son-in-law, Sun Jiancheng, had made a lot of contributions. I looked at his achievements and I think he has a chance to be transferred to Beijing next year.” Old Liu’s voice hissed through the phone.
When the name of that damned Sun Jiancheng was mentioned, Cuihua's father's face darkened.
Sun Jiancheng is now in prison. As a government official, he should have written a report on his illegal activities and sent it to Beijing as soon as possible. However, due to the trouble caused by the return of educated youth to the city, the government was too busy and suppressed Sun Jiancheng's case, so Beijing did not receive any news or action.
Cuihua's father wasn't stupid; he didn't believe in free lunches. He had a gut feeling that there must be a reason why Lao Liu was calling him at this time to bring up this matter.
"Really? That's wonderful news!" Cuihua's father exclaimed with delight. "I'll go get Jiancheng to write the report right away!"
"Don't rush, don't rush." Old Liu laughed and said slowly, "Old classmate, I can help you recommend your son-in-law to be transferred to Beijing. I also have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
really.
Cuihua's father pondered for a moment, then said without changing his expression, "Oh? What could it be that you've come to ask me for a favor?"
"That's right. As you know, a large number of educated youth are returning to the city. Those who have returned are unemployed, and some have even divorced and abandoned their husbands and children. This has a very bad influence."
Could it be that Lao Liu has a friend or relative who is a sent-down youth in Zhongmo Town?
This shouldn't happen.
If it were true, Lao Liu would have already informed him.
Then Lao Liu continued, "A friend of mine asked me to inquire whether there is a former educated youth named Jiang Ci in your Zhongmo Town? She got married to a local villager."
Jiangci?!
who?
Cuihua's father was shocked, thinking he had misheard the name.
Hearing the name of the benefactor who saved his whole family from Lao Liu's mouth, Cuihua's father felt a sense of unreality.
Cuihua's father pretended not to know who she was and continued to ask, "Jiang... Ci? Who is this? Your relative?"
"How could that be?" Old Liu said with a contemptuous tone. "She made an enemy of my friend's friend because of this educated youth returning to the city. My friend's friend thought that Jiang Ci would definitely divorce her husband and return to the city."
“This educated youth, Jiang Ci, never did anything good in the places where she was sent to the countryside. My friend just told me a few things, and I felt that she deserved to stay in the countryside for the rest of her life!”
Cuihua's father said nonchalantly, "Really? Then I'll have to investigate this Jiang Ci properly."
“Okay, she’s an educated youth who’s been sent to the countryside and she’s married. I think the town government should issue a policy that doesn’t allow educated youth who are married to villagers to file for divorce. That would greatly reduce the number of educated youth returning to their hometowns, wouldn’t it?”
Old Liu's words were full of disdain for the countryside.
Cuihua's father sneered inwardly, mumbled a few words, and quickly hung up the phone.
Cuihua's father's expression turned cold as he paced back and forth in his office.
Jiang Ci must have offended someone in Beijing, which is why Lao Liu was willing to send that trash Sun Jiancheng to Beijing in exchange for Jiang Ci staying in Shanding Brigade forever.
Cuihua's father is a grateful person.
He certainly couldn't tell Lao Liu about Jiang Ci's family's presence in Beijing, but he also had to appease Lao Liu.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to tell Jiang Ci that she was being targeted by a big shot in Beijing.
To nip problems in the bud, they also try to avoid running into the big shot who has his eye on them.
This can be considered as repayment for her helping their family catch that damned beast, Sun Jiancheng.
If Jiang Ci can make a name for himself in Beijing, this reminder could strengthen the connection between their two families. Perhaps they can get Jiang Ci's help in the future if their family ever needs anything.
