Chapter 193 Qingli Returns
For Qushui County, Xia Shijie's trip was not in vain.
Xie Yun could clearly feel that the provincial resources were appropriately tilted towards Qushui County, and they were doing things more smoothly.
☆
In July 1972, Wang Qingli returned home after completing her studies.
Most of the current workers, peasants and soldiers universities are two-year programs, and students return to where they came from. They are specifically designed to train talents for brigades and factories, and there will be no situation where talents are arranged to other places after they have been trained.
However, it is impossible to let her return to the brigade to continue working as a barefoot veterinarian. That would be a waste of her talent.
After discussion, Taoyuan Commune decided to arrange her to the commune's animal husbandry and veterinary station, which was a suitable job for her. Moreover, if she did a good job, she might even become the next Xie Yun and rise up in the animal husbandry and veterinary system!
After Wang Qingli came back, she first reported to the Organization Department of the County Party Committee. After learning about her work arrangements, she did not rush back, but decided to visit the county town first and then go to the pharmaceutical factory to see her sister.
She hasn't seen her sister for two years.
She had been away for two years and hadn't returned once, firstly to save time, secondly to save money on travel, and thirdly, of course, because she wasn't particularly sentimental or emotional. She didn't think it was a problem after not seeing him for two years.
Although she did not come back, she knew very well about the changes that had taken place in Qushui County, and she had been keeping in touch with everyone.
However, no matter how detailed the text was, it was not as shocking as the reality.
Qushui County has changed a lot!
Moreover, who would have thought that her sister would become a worker! This was something she had never dared to dream of in the early years!
When her sister wrote to her about this, she was almost shocked!
At that time, she was worried that if her sister became a formal employee, her parents would cling to her like leeches, and her sister would be soft-hearted and compromise.
But on second thought, she felt that her worries were a bit unnecessary. After everything that happened before, she believed that her sister had grown up. Even if she was persuaded by her parents and started to give them benefits and allowed them to climb up, that was her own choice. She would be disappointed, but she would not judge.
However, she still wrote a letter to give her sister a few words of advice, telling her not to be coaxed back by her parents' few nice words.
Her sister wrote back to reassure her, saying she was no longer the same person she had been. Later, her letters to her never mentioned her parents at all, but simply described her new life in the county town, each line filled with joy. She was completely relieved.
When she was young, her parents didn't care about her, and her sister took good care of her. When her parents wanted to spank her, her sister would protect her. Many times, her mother's slaps fell on her sister. She sincerely hoped that her sister would live a good life.
Wang Qingli strolled through the county town with a smile on her face and a brisk pace. She then strolled to the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory. When the old man in the reception office saw her approaching, he poked his head out of the window and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Wang Qinghong. I'm her sister."
"Oh~"
The old man showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "You are the college student! I heard Xiao Wang talk about you. He said that you are the first college student to come out of your brigade. You don't know, but your sister's eyebrows almost flew up when she talked about you. She is so proud of you. Are you on vacation?"
"I graduated and came back to work."
"Okay, good job, wait here for a moment and I'll call her out for you."
"Okay, thank you."
"Oh, you college students are just so polite."
As the old man spoke, he walked out of the message room and walked quickly into the factory.
Another old man in the reception room poked his head out and said, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
Wang Qingli smiled and said, "No, thank you. I'll just wait here for a while."
"What's the trouble? You graduated from college, where are you assigned?"
"Commune Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station."
"Isn't that a cadre?"
"Well, little cadre."
"A junior cadre is also a cadre. So you get paid according to your administrative level?"
"Um."
"What level are you at?"
"As a lowly cadre like me, I must be given the lowest rank."
"The lowest level is still a lot higher than a worker. Work hard and strive to get promoted soon."
"Thank you for the encouragement. I will."
The old man smiled and said with emotion: "It's good to be young. You are a cadre at this age. You will have a bright future in the future."
Wang Qingli smiled and said, "Master, I feel embarrassed by your praise."
The two were chatting when Wang Qinghong ran out of the factory and started shouting from a distance: "Qingli, you're back!"
Wang Qingli waved at her happily: "Sister."
Wang Qinghong ran up to her sister, looked her up and down, and said, "You've become whiter and fatter. Not bad!"
Wang Qingli smiled and said, "Sister, you're the same, you've become a lot whiter and fatter than before."
"I work in the workshop all day and don't get any sun, so I'm getting bleached. I don't do any physical labor anymore, and I eat better than before, so it's impossible not to gain weight."
The two sisters thanked the old man in the message room and walked out hand in hand.
Wang Qinghong said, "I've taken some time off to show you my dorm. I'm currently living in a double room with another worker. How about you? Where are you assigned to?"
"The commune's animal husbandry and veterinary station. I'll report there tomorrow."
"Do you live in a commune?"
Wang Qingli shook her head. "No, I'll go back home. The commune isn't far from home anyway. I can walk back and forth every day. Binbin and Hongxia are my companions on the way. We can chat and learn from each other. When I get home, Yue Zheng is there, and I can learn from him."
Wang Qinghong nodded. "That's fine. I'm far from home now, and I can't go back. By the way, did you know? Binbin got a promotion. She's now the deputy county magistrate."
"I just found out. I reported to the Organization Department, and when they heard I was from Liushutun, they told me, 'Liushutun has talented people. Work hard and strive to be like Deputy County Chief Xiao Xie in the future.' That's when I found out. Sister, why didn't you write to tell me?"
"Binbin had just been promoted, and she hadn't mentioned it specifically. I guess she was afraid that people would become estranged from her, so she simply didn't mention it. Everything is the same as before. I went back home a few days ago and heard what Yue Zheng told me.
I heard the team leader lament at the brigade headquarters that he used to be quite nervous around the county party secretary, but after seeing him so often, he wasn't so nervous anymore. Ever since Binbin became deputy county magistrate, county-level officials weren't considered much of a position in his eyes. He said that when he saw Binbin, he couldn't connect her with the deputy county magistrate at all. I almost died of laughter when I heard that.
Wang Qingli also laughed. "Our team leader is quite funny. I didn't notice it before, but ever since that time when the five beauties broke off their engagement and he brought everyone to the team headquarters to make a public announcement, I knew he was a troublemaker."
Then she added with emotion, "From now on, I'll go to and from get off work with the deputy county chief every day, and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask for advice along the way."
Wang Qinghong asked her, "You've been in college for two years. Can you match Binbin's level?"
"Sister, we can't compare. If you're talking about animal husbandry and veterinary knowledge, I probably know more than Binbin. But many times, knowledge and cultural level, problem-solving ability, vision and insight, and the way of thinking are not the same. Binbin is obviously more daring and more capable, and is more suitable to be a leader."
She went to college, and her horizons broadened. She realized that there are always people better than her, and that there are many talented people. She did not become proud and complacent just because she went to college. On the contrary, the more she saw the vast world, the more she realized her own insignificance and shortcomings.
"Then you should keep up the good work, study more, practice more, and strive to be like her."
"I will."
