It was also because of his outstanding abilities that he was sent to the North Station District.
In particular, some of the ideas and plans he put forward in recent years have been highly valued by the higher-ups.
Fortunately, there is Gu Zhenhai pressing on him, otherwise the situation Gu Qingbei will face will not be easy.
Li Cuiying came back early. She heard that a batch of fresh vegetables had arrived in the afternoon. They were picked from the fields in the morning in preparation for the peak season in the vegetable market in the afternoon.
When she heard the news, she rushed over with a few old ladies she knew.
I happened to see vegetable trucks unloading and bought a lot.
She thought the train would arrive in the evening, but she didn't expect it to be so early.
In fact, the reason why Jiang Mengxue went there so early was that Gu Qingbei left a message in the space, and fortunately she found it in time.
"The kids have their final exams tomorrow, so they'll be back a little late today. Do you want to pick them up?"
In those days, there was no such thing as picking up children. No matter how young they were, they would go to and from school by themselves with other children.
Li Cuiying asked this because Gu Qingbei had not returned since they separated from the Northwest, and she was really worried that Mo Bao and the others would not recognize him if they met him face to face.
"How about going?"
Jiang Mengxue looked at Gu Qingbei, who was still as young as ever, and thought to herself that it was a good thing that she paid attention to taking care of herself, otherwise she would have become the same age as him.
In the blink of an eye, the two have been married for more than ten years. Gu Qingbei is now forty years old, and I am also in my thirties. Time flies so fast.
"Let's go. I don't even know where they go to school. I don't know if Mobao can recognize me."
Gu Qingbei felt a little sad.
"Don't even think about it. Ruirui won't recognize you anyway. He hasn't even seen you before."
Gu Qingbei changed into a shirt and shorts, and wore a pair of slippers, looking casual and everyday.
Jiang Mengxue opened an umbrella as the sun was still shining outside.
"All the kids around here should be in the affiliated primary and junior high schools, right? My parents wanted to send me there, but unfortunately I didn't like studying.
I thought I could escape this by joining the army, but once I got in, I still had to learn what I was supposed to learn and take the exams I was supposed to take."
Thinking about it this way, I should have finished my studies before joining the army, so that I could have avoided some detours.
So even if he is not around, he always cares about the studies of all the children when he writes to them.
What Nao Nao hates most is receiving letters from his father.
The atmosphere between the two of them was harmonious along the way, but the look in someone's eyes was really unbearable.
Can you imagine a man in his prime who can only be intimate with his wife on social media every month?
What Jiang Mengxue didn't want most at this moment was that time passed too quickly, and she prayed in her heart that it would get dark later.
When the two arrived at the school gate, the school had not yet closed. The elementary school here closes at 4:50 and the junior high school at 5:10.
This can also avoid the peak period of school dismissal for the two schools, otherwise when there are too many students, there will inevitably be fights and friction.
Of course not at the gates of the two schools, as there were only the two parents.
Some grandparents or parents passing by after get off work will also stop by here to take their children home.
But since we all come here often, we all look familiar. It was the first time we saw two strangers coming to pick up the child.
An elderly lady nearby came over and asked in a familiar manner, "Are you here to pick up your child? Are you worried about your child because he's still young?"
Hi, everyone who goes to school here lives nearby, so we all know each other and won’t get lost.
If I didn’t pass by every day to buy groceries, I wouldn’t bother to pick it up.”
Of course, Gu Qingbei would not chat enthusiastically with the old lady, but just smiled politely.
Although Jiang Mengxue is not the kind of person who likes to make friends, she will not ignore others if they talk to her first.
"Yes, this is the first time we come here to pick up the child. The child has been with his grandparents all year round. We just came back from out of town."
The woman next to me suddenly understood: "Oh, you work in other cities? Why don't you stay in the capital? Is there any city in the country more powerful than the capital?
We can’t let our children go too far. If they go to remote areas, they won’t even have vegetables to eat, let alone meat.”
Jiang Mengxue didn't know where this lady's prejudice came from. Could it be that except for the capital, all other places were remote and poor?
But she was just a stranger, so why would she argue with her?
Who would have thought that the old lady would get so excited about the conversation that she would continue talking to herself even if she got no response.
"My youngest son was admitted to a technical secondary school two years ago and told me he wanted to stay and become a teacher. His teachers liked him very much, but I didn't agree.
Nowhere can be better than home? No matter what time it is, the capital city is always the most developed city in the country.
Coming back and getting a good job, a house and a wife would be better than anything else.
But the child insisted with me, saying that if he stayed, he could get a house, and when he got promoted to director in the school, his salary would increase to fifty or sixty.
Hey, what’s the big deal about a high salary? His elder brother works in a factory and earns dozens of dollars a month. He has a child near us, so it would be great if we could lend a hand.
He absolutely refused to listen. The principal's daughter had taken a liking to him and insisted that he stay in the school. He might even be able to take over his father-in-law's job as principal in the future."
Jiang Mengxue: "..."
Was he showing off to her? Was he showing off her son's abilities? Or was he trying to impress the principal's daughter and get a job as a teacher?
They were just strangers, so why bother talking so much? How could you possibly feel any sense of accomplishment by showing off in front of strangers?
She simply didn't want to talk.
Of course, the old lady didn't need her to respond.
While waiting for the children to get out of school at the school gate, he would talk about family gossip, from the youngest son's promising admission to a technical secondary school, to the eldest son and daughter-in-law giving him three or four grandchildren, to the second son and daughter-in-law being unfilial, etc., and the gossip spread to the neighbors next door, the neighbors in the yard, and the neighbors in the next yard.
