Chapter 250 Work Report
When Wang Huaqing knocked on the door, they both took a deep breath, wiped their tears, smiled, and then opened the car door to help move things.
Li Xiuying warmly invited them to stay, but Xie Yun and Yang Jingxiu politely declined.
After helping to move things, Xie Yun drove Yang Jingxiu to the guesthouse, took out the letter of introduction issued by the county, and booked two rooms.
Yang Jingxiu reminded her: "Use a chair to block the door from the inside. You still have to be careful when you go out."
"I see. I was super careful. Not only did I use a chair to prop it up, I also moved the table."
Yang Jingxiu: “…”

Xie Yun had a good night's sleep.
On the other side, Wang Huaqing did not sleep all night.
It was the first time she met her niece-in-law, her great-nephew Wang Chuanze, her great-nephew Wang Chuanjia, and her elder sister-in-law, whom she hadn't seen for many years.
When her eldest brother got into trouble, her sister-in-law was reluctant to remarry. Eventually, she had no other choice but to marry an honest and simple man. He was mute, but hardworking, capable, and kind. They lived together for nearly 30 years, but they had no children. Last year, her second husband passed away, and Wang Haoyu called her over to live with them.
Wang Huaqing didn't mind her sister-in-law's remarriage at all. She even supported it at first. There was nothing she could do. She was just trying to survive. Living was hard enough. How could she have time for romantic pursuits or melancholy? She was only thinking about practical issues.
Moreover, after the eldest sister-in-law remarried, she took good care of Haoyu. She and her second husband often sent things to Haoyu.
After Haoyu started working, he sent them a lot of money.
Feelings are mutual.
Although Wang Haoyu's two children had never seen this great-aunt, they had heard their father talk about her many times. After their grandmother came, they listened to her talk every day. They felt familiar and close to her psychologically and did not feel any sense of strangeness at all.
Wang Haoyu's wife Li Xiuying is the daughter of his father's comrade-in-arms. The two met and fell in love in college. When Li Xiuying took him to meet her parents, she found out that Li's father was actually a comrade-in-arms of his father Wang Huaren.
The marriage happened naturally.
It's also a good story.
Wang Huaqing and Ning Qiuye lay on the bed, with endless words to say and endless emotions to express.
Ning Qiuye said, "You stay here, we two sisters can keep each other company."
Wang Huaqing shook his head. "No, I'll come back when I have the chance. My parents and brother are all over there, and I have to go back to be with them. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm fine. The brigade is developing very well now, and the people are very nice. Don't you know that our brigade is very caring towards me? My parents and brother will definitely be pleased if they can still see me in heaven."
"Yeah. They will."

The next morning, Xie Yun and Yang Jingxiu had breakfast at the guesthouse. Xie Yun asked him, "Do you want to go out for a walk? Secretary Li and his men won't arrive until noon, and we have nothing to do this morning. If you want to go out and take a look, I'll go with you."
Li Zhihua went to Rencheng yesterday and visited the Rencheng Tractor Factory and the "Beyond Automobile Factory" under construction with Secretary Zou. He stayed there for one night and set out from Rencheng for the provincial capital this morning. It must be noon when he arrived here.
"Okay. Let's go for a walk."
Xie Yun accompanied Yang Jingxiu outside, and before they even left the guesthouse, they ran into Secretary Li and his two companions.
Xie Yun was surprised and asked, "What time did you leave?"
Li Dongshan said, "Four in the morning. How's it going? Are you full of revolutionary enthusiasm?"
Xie Yun: "It's too big!"
Zou Mingtao and the other two greeted Yang Jingxiu warmly and asked, "What are you planning to do?"
Yang Jingxiu said, "Xiao Xie said you guys didn't arrive until noon, so we were planning to go out for a stroll."
Zou Mingtao said, "We have to go see Secretary Xia first. I called him yesterday afternoon and made an appointment. Let's meet with him first, and then go out for a walk."
Yang Jingxiu had no objection, "Business is more important."
So, the group went directly to the provincial party committee compound.
Xie Yun certainly wouldn't directly say, "I'm here to invite you to support women's liberation." Her reason for coming to the provincial government was to "report on work." It had been two years since Secretary Xia's last inspection trip to Qushui County, and in those two years, the county had undergone significant changes, transforming with each passing day. Wouldn't it be reasonable to ask him to return for another look?
Xia Shijie was as cheerful and approachable as ever. He was very happy to see Xie Yun and the others, and even happier to see Yang Jingxiu. It was a good thing that old comrades were willing to come out for a walk and have a look.
He first listened to Xie Yun’s work report for more than half an hour.
Xie Yun came prepared, and acted like someone making a PPT in later generations. He drew many sheets of white paper, and introduced in a categorized and illustrated manner the achievements of Qushui County in industry and agriculture, as well as the results in infrastructure construction.
He also summarized the contributions Qushui County has made to the country and the province in the past two years. The taxes they paid, the public grain they paid, and the materials they provided to the outside world have all increased significantly, providing great support to brothers and sisters across the country.
In addition, Qushui County has also done a lot of work in improving the county's level of socialist development and enhancing the ideological awareness of the people. For example, the education level of the county's people has generally improved, and their understanding of national laws and regulations has also increased. With the cooperation of the people and the active actions of the county government, the county has also achieved unprecedented results in combating illegal and criminal activities, and social security is clear.
Especially in combating arranged marriages, marriage transactions, and human trafficking, Qushui County has taken the lead nationwide. It can even be said that it has set an example for the rest of the country.
"Marriage transactions and arranged marriages are remnants of feudalism, but human trafficking, especially of women and children, is a new illegal phenomenon that has emerged in recent years and requires the government to be more vigilant. We also fully hope that all regions of the country will take this seriously and completely deter human traffickers so that they dare not commit such evil acts again."
Xia Shijie nodded as he listened. Without waiting for Xie Yun to invite him, he said, "I'll go over and take a look. I want to compare and see how much Qushui County has changed in the past two years."
Xie Yun said, "You're welcome to come and see. We welcome you to go to the grassroots level and see. Majiagou, which was once the most backward area in our Qushui County, is now making great efforts to rectify it. You should go to Majiagou and take a look. You can boost the morale of the people there, encourage them to cast off their feudal shackles and actively catch up!"
Xia Shijie looked at her and agreed with a smile.
He was not quite sure what the kid was up to, but he knew that the common people in backward areas really needed more encouragement, and those women who had just escaped from feudal marriages really needed affirmation from their leaders. This was beyond doubt. If his visit could have a positive effect, he would be happy to make the trip.
Moreover, he really wanted to see the new changes in Qushui County in the past two years.
