After the Lunar New Year, in March, Zhou Xiaozheng informed his daughter that the matter was done. Although no special Red* document was issued from above, clear instructions were given to the educated youth offices in various places.
Similarly, Zhou Xiaozheng has more free time, not because he has been excluded by the new leadership team, but because he avoids factional disputes and focuses on his job.
The turmoil outside had already affected Elder Cheng's official retirement, which was a blessing in disguise. Apart from Elder Yi, Elder Wan, Elder Fang, and Elder Mo, even Elder Jiang had been exiled back to his hometown.
Here I want to talk about Mr. Jiang, a pathetic old soldier. He devoted everything to the country, neglected the education of his children, and was eventually implicated by his youngest son.
When his eldest son was taken back to the capital by his father, a high-ranking official, he abandoned his wife and daughter. His new Yue family also gave him a lot of help, especially his brother-in-law who had problems with his conduct towards men and women.
But God is watching what we do, and this is not the case, it's just that the time has not come yet. The abandoned daughter has grown up, and this time her biological mother died of a serious illness. In anger, she reported her biological father for having an affair.
Of course, the original intention of the female man who graduated from elementary school was to speak up for her mother. The so-called promiscuous relationship meant that her father had an affair with her stepmother during his marriage.
Under normal circumstances, with the Jiang family's connections, this matter would have passed quietly, but what time is it now? It was also the Jiang family's bad luck.
As luck would have it, this letter of accusation fell into the hands of a newly appointed deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee. This deputy director, nicknamed Qian Ergui and formally known as Qian Aiwu, was also a commoner with a story to tell.
According to Zhang Guoqing, this man in his thirties still has a bottom line in his behavior, but there is one thing, a taboo, which is that he must never be seen abandoning his wife and children, especially a man who clings to the powerful.
This was probably because his eldest sister, who had raised him, was forced to death by his brother-in-law, who broke the feudal marriage rule by marrying her through thick and thin. There were countless examples of this kind in the early years of liberation, but those who had not experienced it personally could not understand the pain.
During the war, his eldest sister single-handedly took care of her parents-in-law and raised her younger uncle and sister-in-law. After finally getting the news that her husband was still alive, she received a divorce certificate. Faced with the ungrateful people in her husband's family, her eldest sister, who was known as the most beautiful girl in the village when she was young, hanged herself.
Faced with a powerful enemy, he was unable to vent his hatred and could only endure it and go to a technical secondary school, then entered a factory, and then step by step became a factory leader.
He originally thought that he would never have the chance to avenge his sister in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, God was merciful and finally gave him the opportunity. He pulled down the beast who had followed his elder sister with a gloomy face and the group of ungrateful people.
This time, the Jiang family's affairs happened to bump into him. No matter how high your father is, he will have to bring down anyone except his benefactor, the chairman, and even the emperor.
Mr. Jiang was a good man, but that didn't mean his two sons would follow their father. This time, the letter of complaint was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The Jiang family couldn't withstand the investigation, and even Jiang Jiangyu's past affairs were under investigation.
However, things have changed. Whether for self-protection or out of consideration for the friendship of his comrades, Jiang Jiangyu managed to escape the disaster, but the two sons of the Jiang family were not so lucky.
This deputy director was really a good person as Zhang Guoqing said. He did not pressure Mr. Jiang, who had spent his whole life in the military. However, the old man also took the initiative to retire and return home.
In the past two years, the old have grown old, the young have grown old, some have left, and some have dispersed. The compound has become increasingly deserted. If it weren't for the familiar sounds of military bugles and soldiers training, Zhou Jiao wouldn't dare go out late at night.
The surface of the city seemed calm, but the letters from home had implications that affected a wider range of people. Fortunately, Zhang Guoqing's better-off families were still living a relatively stable life.
There was also an unexpected surprise. Zhang Guoqiang, the second son of the Zhang family, had overcome his difficulties as a clerk and officially took up the position of section chief. He really became a four-pocket cadre as he had hoped.
Of course, all this is inseparable from Zuo Lin’s gratitude to Zhang Guoqing for his reminder that “Misfortunes often lie behind blessings, and blessings often lie behind misfortunes” and Zhang Laoer’s hard work.
Just when Zhou Jiao thought that the days would just pass by one by one, she suddenly received a small note with only four words on it: "Be careful with your children."
She didn't think anyone was trying to amuse her, nor did she think anyone was maliciously threatening her. She could only say that someone wanted to harm her three sons.
Zhou Jiao's expression remained unchanged despite her anger. She calmly called her father. When the call was connected, she heard a familiar voice, which almost made her lose control of her emotions.
"Jiaojiao, it's Dad."
Zhou Jiao hummed softly and paused, "Dad, I might be late getting off work today, so please pick up Ping An, Liu Yi and the others for me."
Zhou Xiaozheng's breathing on the other end of the phone became heavier and faster. "Do you want dad to pick you up?"
Zhou Jiao knew he had misunderstood, and quickly said with a smile: "I can take the bus if I'm fine, but Ping An and the others..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Xiaozheng immediately understood, "Okay, Dad doesn't have any meetings this afternoon, so I'll go pick up Ping An and the others early. Be careful in the car."
Zhou Jiao hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and hesitated whether to call Zhang Guoqing. She was worried that there were spies around her and the enemy would notice.
When faced with danger, the ultimate solution is not defense, but offense. Although she had long anticipated that someone trying to pull her father aboard would resort to such a ruthless strategy and had warned her three sons, it didn't mean she would let it go.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Jiao took the documents and left the office and went to the next door unit to find Wan Dayong.
Similar to her working status, Wan Dayong was also bored to death. When he saw her coming, he curiously looked behind her.
"Don't look for him anymore, Xiaowu isn't here."
Wan Dayong pointed to the chair and said with a smile, "Please sit down. If you have any instructions, please speak to the leader directly."
Seeing his playful appearance, Zhou Jiao didn't want to talk to him any more, so she asked directly, "Since you're getting married soon, shouldn't you treat us to a drink?"
"Oh, is it really that serious to ask you to come here just for such a trivial matter?"
Zhou Jiao smiled, "Xiao Wu was planning to call you last night to ask where the new house was set up. Why didn't he contact you today?"
"No." Wan Dayong stood up immediately. "Then I'll call Xiaowu first. Do you two want to talk?"
Zhou Jiao shook her hand and followed him out of the office. "No, you two can chat. If he brings it up, just say I was here and have to go back to work."
She believed that when Zhang Guoqing heard this, he would understand that something had happened and would contact her father. Perhaps after she came this far, her father might have contacted Zhang Guoqing.
Just as she expected, Zhang Guoqing had just finished answering the call from his father-in-law when the phone rang again. He went closer and heard Wan Dayong say that Zhou Jiao had just left. He became nervous and echoed a few words absentmindedly before hanging up in a hurry.
At the same time, he was also worried that there were spies around him, so he forcibly suppressed the urge to leave the unit, took a few deep breaths, and his brain worked quickly.
