Xie Yun smiled and said, "We in Qushui can solve this problem internally. Ren Xiuzhen, the educated youth who just went to the countryside to work, is planning to set up a food factory. Initially, we only planned to make it a commune-brigade enterprise, but now we hope to use this opportunity to help those comrades who have been harmed. So we plan to expand it a little bit, directly register the project with the county, and make it a state-owned enterprise. When recruiting workers, we will give priority to female comrades and provide them with training before they start work."
Shao Xiang said, "I can volunteer. I have some work experience, and I promise I'll just work and not give orders. Is that okay?"
"Yes, you're most welcome."
Qian Daguang: “…”
Didn't anyone ask for his opinion?
Shao Xiang asked her, "You're going back tomorrow morning, right? Can I go with you?"
"sure."
Qian Daguang said, "Don't be so anxious. You still need to pack your things and get ready, right?"
"There's nothing much to prepare, just bring your toiletries and a few clothes."
She asked Xie Yun, "Will I have a place to stay when I get there?"
"Yes, you live where Gao Yun used to live."
"Okay, okay."
Shao Xiang was very happy. He stood up and started packing his personal belongings.
Qian Daguang was stunned!
He looked at Shao Xiang and found that she had made up her mind, then looked at Xie Yun and saw that he didn't take him seriously at all.
Qian Daguang stood up immediately, turned around twice, and asked, "What are we having for dinner? I'll make it!"
Shao Xiang said, "Don't do it. Xiao Xie finally came here. Let's go to the restaurant to eat tonight. Let Xiao Xie taste the cooking skills of our master chef."
In the evening, Qian Daguang and his two companions went to a state-owned restaurant and had the special dishes of jar meat, fish slices in fermented wine, and nine-turn large intestine.
After dinner, Xie Yun went straight back to the guesthouse.
Secretary Li and the other two were waiting for her in the lobby. They were relieved only when they saw that she had returned safely.
Xie Yun said to them happily, "Aunt Shao will go with us tomorrow. She will help us on a voluntary basis. We will have another capable person to help us build the food factory."
Secretary Li and Yang Jingxiu were both very happy.
Li Dongshan thought about his wife who was about to retire and couldn't help scratching his fingers. He felt that his wife would soon be gone!

Qian family.
Qian Daguang helped Shao Xiang pack her things. She wanted to take this and that. Shao Xiang said, "Don't take so much. Qushui County isn't in the mountains or out in the woods, nor is it a remote place. If there's something I don't have, I can buy it locally or call you to send it to me."
"Okay. If you don't do well over there, come back."
Shao Xiang was surprised and asked, "Why? If things aren't going well, of course I'll overcome them to make them go smoothly. I'll face any challenges head-on and will never back down."
Qian Daguang: “…”
He looked at Shao Xiang, who seemed to have regained her energy, and said, "If you need any help, just call us. What you're doing isn't for yourselves, it's for the country and its people. We're united on this point. It's not shameful for you to ask for help, and it doesn't mean you're incompetent."
His wife is a strong-willed person who doesn't like to stay at home. Since she retired, she has been listless and not as cheerful as before. Now that she knows she can go out and work again, her mood has suddenly become cheerful.
Tsk! Go ahead. Qian Gaoyun inherited that naughty kid's bad temper from her.
Shao Xiang smiled and said, "I know. I see Xiao Xie asking for help every day, and as a result, Qushui County has developed! No one has fallen into a more difficult situation because of supporting them. As Qushui County develops, it starts to give back to them. This is such a wonderful thing! If I need help, I will definitely shout with a loudspeaker.
I know quite a few people here, so I'll go explore the area first. If there's a need there, my retired sisters who are bored at home will have a place to go. What's the point of fiddling with pots and pans and taking care of children all day? I'd rather be out in the open air and relax my mind and body!"
Qian Daguang: “…”
I just hope that the husbands of Lao Shao’s older sisters won’t scold him! This is really none of his business!

The next morning, everyone gathered at the guesthouse. Wang Huaqing was escorted here by her nephew's entire family. Yesterday at noon, Yang Jingxiu had someone inform her of her return time. The Wang family also held gifts in their hands, tokens of their love for Wang Huaqing.
Shao Xiang was sent here by Qian Daguang and brought a large suitcase.
Everyone was already familiar with Qian Daguang, and they were all delighted by his wife's decision to go to the countryside, expressing their great appreciation, support, and welcome. The slight sadness on Qian Daguang's face only made everyone happier.
Secretary Xia patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Qian, very good, very good. You are a good person for supporting your family members to go out and make revolution."
Qian Daguang: “…”
Secretary Wang, who just made his public appearance today, also said, "If all male comrades could learn from you and support female comrades in shining their own light, the productivity of women in our country would surely rise to a higher level."
He also praised Shao Xiang: "The most outstanding thing is Comrade Shao herself. She cares about the countryside and the suffering women comrades. She is a role model worthy of everyone's emulation."
Shao Xiang said calmly, "Secretary Xia, Secretary Wang, thank you for your recognition. I will definitely do my best!"
There were three people in Xie Yun's car this time. She was the driver, and Shao Xiang and Wang Huaqing were passengers. They both sat in the back and put their belongings on the passenger seat.
On the way back, they chattered about the crackdown on arranged marriages, and they all tried to think of ways to help more lesbians.
