The group arrived at the commune and went to their respective jobs.
Xie Shen went to the agricultural machinery station first.
Xie Yun took Ren Xiuzhen and Tao Siqi to the cadre school. He shocked them with a pile of signs at the door, then took them inside to take a look and visit Xie Yun's office.
Ren Xiuzhen pursed her lips for a long time before finally asking, "Sister Binbin, those people?"
Xie Yun said: "People from all corners of the country volunteered to help our poor and lower-middle peasants develop, and at the same time, they exercised their bodies, tempered their spirits and wills, discarded some outdated ideas in their minds, armed themselves with revolutionary ideas, and better served the country and the people.
They came here to be tempered, and we provided them with a platform, which is the sign at the door. They worked hard under the leadership of the poor and lower-middle peasants and performed very well.
Ren Xiuzhen: “…”
Oh my god! This is where the bullpen bosses live!
Okay, okay, let’s play it this way, ok?
"Is there a cafeteria here? Do you need anyone to work? Sister Binbin, I took some nutrition courses in the city before, and I'm quite good at conditioning the body."
She promised to keep their bodies in good shape, allowing them to live for decades longer and contribute to the motherland! When reform and opening up began, she immediately listed all the bottlenecks and asked the bigwigs to study them.
Ren Xiuzhen considers herself to be an ordinary person with average IQ. She is not good at scientific research and cannot do these high-tech jobs. She can only provide some logistical support.
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Their health is taken care of by specialized personnel. We have several medical experts here, and doctors from the commune health center also visit them regularly for checkups. They have good food and drink. We want them to achieve results and become better, not to torture them. Therefore, basic dietary and health needs must be guaranteed.
Don't worry about that. Focus on your own career and integrate your personal development with the development of Liushutun and Taoyuan Commune. I'm a very good judge of character. I can tell that you and Siqi are both highly capable, with ideas and the drive to act. So, feel free to think and act boldly. With your abilities, helping out in the cafeteria is a waste.
I'm not saying that being a helper is bad, it's just that there are many people who can help, but there are not many people like you who are talented."
Ren Xiuzhen and Tao Siqi were both delighted to hear this. Xie Yun was being completely sincere with them, telling them all these things, so they had to show their sincerity as well.
After a tour of the cadre school, Xie Yun led them to the agricultural machinery station. "Although I'm a deputy county magistrate, I'm still young and can't take on the responsibilities. My leaders and colleagues have taken care of me and let me stay here. I focus most of my energy on managing these revolutionary brothers from all over the country. I also do some research. Right now, my main work location is at the agricultural machinery station. There's some equipment there, and a group of experts who work tirelessly. If you two need any equipment when you start your own business in the future, we will assist you with your research."
Tao Siqi asked: "Sister Binbin, I haven't thought about my development direction yet."
"Don't worry, take your time to think about it. You can follow Sister Yue Zheng and the others and figure it out as you go. You're still young anyway, only 18. You're still considered a teenager to me, and your life has just begun."
"Um."
Tao Siqi nodded. She herself hadn't yet planned her life's direction or decided what she wanted to do in the future. People her age, after graduating from high school, would be lucky enough to work in factories, while the unlucky ones would go to the countryside. Some would choose to marry someone with a job to avoid going to the countryside.
She could certainly stay in the city and work, but was that a good option? Would she be stuck with this iron rice bowl for the rest of her life? Spinning, accounting, or working in the factory?
After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she didn't really want this stable job.
When she shared her idea with her parents, they said, "Then go to Qushui County and see the outside world. Go and see, learn, talk less and do more. See how those outstanding people deal with people, and see how they face and solve problems."
So, she came.

Agricultural machinery station.
Li Zhixin and Xie Shen are busy assembling a car.
Ren Xiuzhen and Tao Siqi were both stunned.
The young boy who was lively and fresh just now was now wearing work clothes. He was working skillfully and concentrating on his work. He didn't even notice them coming in.
Forgive them. When I first heard Xie Yun say that her brother was an expatriate technician at Rencheng Tractor Factory, I suspected that Xie Shen was a show-off. I didn't expect that he would really be like that!
The man who works with him has a beard and his work clothes are greased up. At first glance, he looks like an old man in his sixties or seventies. At another glance, he seems to be in his forties or fifties. If you look closely, he seems to be in his thirties?
Anyway, it looks quite confusing.
Ren Xiuzhen and Tao Siqi were both very curious.
Tao Siqi asked Xie Yun: "Sister Binbin, who is that?"
"Our technician, Xiao Li, is another educated youth who went to the countryside to work. He used to be a technician at the Rencheng Tractor Factory, but later went to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth. Because he has the skills, he stayed here to help. He's a selfless person who doesn't receive any salary, but works for nothing."
Ren Xiuzhen asked, "He has a job, but he still went to the countryside?"
"He gave it to his sister. His sister wasn't in good health, and his family was worried about her, and he himself was worried too. It just so happened that coming here could help him learn something new, so he just treated it as a learning experience."
Ren Xiuzhen: “…”
