Song Jin heard from Chen Liang that Wang's aunt wanted to get close to Wang Xiu, but was coldly rejected by her.
She was quite nice to my aunt-in-law. Although she tried to please her, she was not annoying.
Chen Liang promised to help her second son find a job in the county town. Her second son is 20 years old this year. After graduating from high school, he did not get into college and did not find a job. He has been working in the fields at home.
Song Jin had seen him when he went there. He seemed to be an honest man and spoke politely.
After everyone had a day's rest, Song Jin planned to visit the county machinery factory. She hadn't been there for several years. When she was in the factory, Director Lin was really nice to her.
Chen Liang also went along to check out the transport team, along with Zhao Dong. The two had been in contact by phone and hadn't seen each other for a long time.
It was only after they got married that Song Jin found out that he and Zhao Dong had never lost contact.
Zhao Dong's business in the black market is getting bigger and bigger, and he is offending more and more people. In the past few years, his power has expanded and he has a lot more people under his command.
Being considered a major force in the county was a good thing. However, Song Jin knew that these criminal gangs were involved in the crackdown in 1983. She had also heard a lot about Zhao Dong from Chen Liang and knew that he was a capable and good man.
I wrote a letter to warn people of the situation. Zhao Dong is a capable person and he really listens to what I say.
He had just closed down his stalls and moved them underground when the crackdown came to them.
That year, one could hear gunshots of executions in the suburbs every day, but he successfully escaped thanks to Chen Liang's reminder.
There is no need to mention Chen Liang's gratitude and trust. The two have been cooperating in business and will share any news.
Zhao Dong was also asked to arrange a job for his cousin from his aunt's family. Within an hour, he asked Chen Liang to take him to the cotton mill to complete the start of work the next morning.
After the two of them visited the people they wanted to meet in the county town, Chen Liang drove to pick up Song Jin and took him home. On the way, the two discussed and made a decision. They had already had this idea in their minds when they returned home a few days ago. The road from their commune to the village was too difficult to travel.
There’s an old saying that goes, “If you want to get rich, build roads first.”
They unanimously decided to donate money to contribute to his hometown. As for the peach trees on the mountain, although the number has increased a lot in recent years, the cannery is not interested in purchasing only the juicy peach variety, so they still need to increase the variety.
Since they have the ability, they are willing to contribute to the development of their hometown.
The commune leaders were deeply moved after hearing this. It was not that their commune was without other promising people. There were also many people who joined the army and did well, and some who were admitted to universities and never came back.
It’s hard to say whether they helped their families after they became famous, but none of them really thought of helping their hometown, especially with something as big as building roads.
The commune secretary was a man who truly worked for the people. He reported the news to the county the next day, and the county leaders came to personally receive and thank Chen Liang and Song Jin.
Soon the news spread throughout the commune that Chen Liang from Taolin Brigade was going to help the entire commune build roads.
Chen Liang...
He originally only wanted to repair the road from his own brigade to the commune!
But after the news got out, the village heads and party secretaries of other brigades in the commune all came to his house with gifts, which left a really good impression on him.
After the two of them discussed it, they decided that their family didn't need this little money, but for the entire commune, it was a tangible benefit that they would reap for many years to come.
As a result, construction began on the roads leading to all the brigades in the commune, and people from each brigade spontaneously joined in with tools.
A few days later, the couple, having arranged everything, decided to go back, as Chen Chen was about to start school.
This time, Chen's father and mother were determined not to go to Beijing. They still felt that they were more comfortable staying in the countryside and no amount of persuasion would persuade them. Chen Liang had no choice but to leave some more money and finally took the children back to Beijing.
Although the old couple wanted to stay at home, they really couldn't bear to leave their two grandchildren, so they sent them all the way to the village entrance and held the children in their arms, unwilling to let go.
The two children were also brought up by their grandparents. When they saw that the two of them refused to get in the car, they cried and asked their grandparents to hold them.
In the end, the grandparents and grandchildren were crying together, which made Chen Liang, a grown man, feel a little sad.
It took a long time to coax the children into the car, and they waved goodbye to their parents and drove away.
Looking at my parents waving at me from afar in the rearview mirror, I would be lying if I said I wasn't sad. They are so far away and I don't know when they will be back next time.
Song Jin noticed the low pressure in the car and patted his arm.
"It's okay. I'll bring my parents back in a few months. I'm sure they'll want to live in peace and quiet."
"Well, let them be at ease for a few months."
He touched her hand on his arm and they smiled at each other.
