Chapter 278 Xie Shen is on a business trip
This was Xie Shen's first time traveling far away on his own, and while he was a little nervous, he performed very well overall. A true man has ambitions. When his sister was attending high school alone in the county, she wasn't even as old as he is now. Moreover, over the years, he'd learned from his sister and the experts, gaining not only knowledge but also an open-minded and optimistic mindset, and the art of social interaction.
Some of the educated youth who came from all over the country left the city and their parents when they were the same age as him and went to the countryside to work hard.
He is just going to the provincial capital to stay for a while, what is there to be afraid of?
"Sister, I'll try to come back early."
"Don't worry too much, and don't worry about home. Just work hard and finish everything before coming back. Don't worry, I've saved all the clothes for you to wash when you come back."
Since the beginning of this year, Xie Shen has had to work overtime at the commune due to his heavy research workload. He no longer keeps pigs and rabbits at home, but just a dozen chickens, which he feeds and cleans. These tasks are usually handled by Xie Shen, who also handles laundry, cooking, and cleaning. He must be worried about leaving home now.
Of course, Xie Yun would not really save the clothes and wait for him to come back to wash them. He just said that to lighten the mood.
Xie Shen grinned, "Okay."
Xie Yun also told him: "If there are any technical problems that cannot be solved, just call us. If you have any problems in life, ask for help from Engineer Zhang or Engineer He, or you can ask for help from Director Yan or Director Sun."
"I know, sister. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Zhang Ruifeng was a generous person and just casually said two words: "Work hard and don't miss home" and that was it.
During the time when Xie Shen was not at home, Xie Yun accompanied Zhang Ruifeng home every day.
The old mother was not used to it and asked her, "Aren't you busy at work?"
"Busy."
"Don't let me delay your work. I'm your mother, an adult, not a child who needs to be taken care of. I can't help you, but at least I promise not to hold you back."
"I know. I've just been busy for a while, so I'm just taking a break. We've finished the previous research, and now we're starting a new one. It's a long-term project, so it won't be finished anytime soon."
"That's good. I'll kill an old hen when I get home and make you some chicken soup. You look pretty good," she glanced at Xie Yun's face, which was smooth, rosy, and fair. "But you still need some nourishment."
After saying that, she even laughed.
They have lived a comfortable life in the past few years. The whole family has not even had a headache or fever. They are so healthy that it’s a bit too much!
Binbin later grew three fingers taller, and Mumu's height was definitely over 1.8 meters. He had not grown wider yet, and looked like a thin bamboo pole. He stood out in the crowd, a head taller than many people. She would laugh every time she saw him.
very nice!
Xie Yun put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Mom, take some supplements too. My mom is getting younger and younger. When we stand together, we look like sisters. People who don't know you will never say you are my mom. They will definitely say you are my sister."
Zhang Ruifeng smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, her whole body overflowing with joy. "I hope I can get younger and younger!"
Her daughter didn't seem to have any plans to start a family, so she'd have to live longer so she could stay with her for a few more years. Luckily, she was capable enough to have the government provide for her retirement. And there was Mumu, who would always be there for her. Plus, she had so many good friends. I'm sure she won't be lonely in the future. Excellent people attract many others, and Binbin was one of them.
Mumu's attitude towards relationships is currently uncertain; he seems completely absorbed in his studies and work. If he doesn't marry in the future, she'll have to urge him to work hard and become a useful member of the country and society, so that the government can provide for his retirement. But he's still young, so who knows what will change in the future?
Whether they want to start a family or not, she supports them.
She had no desire to continue her bloodline or the family line; all she wanted was for her children to be happy. When she finally died, she wouldn't have to worry about what happened after her death. She believed Old Xie wouldn't care about that either.
Xie Yun discussed with Zhang Ruifeng, "Once the housing complex at the Academy is finished, I should be able to get a house. We can live there then. It's close to work, so it saves time. We used to want to save more money, and Mumu had to farm and raise pigs at home, so we had to run back and forth. Now that we all have jobs and income, we shouldn't bother with it, right? If we want to exercise, we can do boxing or running. We don't have to walk back and forth."
"Okay. I'll listen to you. I'll just come back every once in a while to clean up. I don't know if your dad is willing to move with us. If he doesn't want to move, we can't let him live in a dirty place."
Xie Yun thought for a moment and said, "Dad will definitely be willing to move with us. Can the yard be more important than us? Impossible."
Zhang Ruifeng thought about Xie Tan's past behavior and agreed with her daughter. "You're right. Your father was determined to get you into college. If it weren't for what happened later, if you had gone to college and stayed in the city to work, he would have been willing to come and live with you."

At the end of October, Qian Gaoyun's film was screened, which sparked a new wave of discussion on women's liberation across the country.
Qushui County was bustling with activity, and the fertilizer plant was no less bustling. Qian Daguang met his daughter and watched the filming. Feeling confident, he arranged three screenings at the fertilizer plant, even without fear of questioning.
The public security department published an article in the newspaper, which was actually a work report, reporting on the specific situation of the country's crackdown on human trafficking and the rescue of abducted women and children during this period, including how many human traffickers were arrested and how many were sentenced to death.
The Women's Federation also published an article reporting on the progress in combating arranged marriages during this period. At the same time, it announced the selection results of the National March 8th Red Flag Bearers and called on everyone to learn from these outstanding women comrades.
Xie Yun contributed a "flattering article" to the newspaper, enthusiastically praising the motherland, leaders at all levels, the Women's Federation and the police, and the self-help spirit of female comrades. In short, the situation was very good and there was hope for life in the new society.
Most people were delighted to read this article. As a time traveler, Ren Xiuzhen dug her toes into the ground in embarrassment, secretly resolving to learn from Xie Yun. If nothing else, her thick skin was enough to keep her training for a long time!
In fact, Ren Xiuzhen knew very well that such flattery was necessary, as it would enable the country to pay more attention to combating human trafficking and women's liberation.
Whether it is praise or criticism, in the final analysis they are all means of struggle. As long as the purpose is clear and does not deviate from the original intention, any means of struggle can be used.
So, while Ren Xiuzhen was working hard, she also wrote an article. She wrote it from the perspective of an observer and participant, telling how the female workers in the food factory were grateful to the country, the government, and the new society.
After finishing it, Ren Xiuzhen read it through and sent the article out despite the embarrassment.
