After all, this was his benefactor, who had brought a lot of grain to Baotian County.
"How's the inspection going? Is this county any good?"
Secretary Song walked with his hands behind his back, saying, "The county town is alright, but I haven't been able to visit the communes below."
“I advise you not to go. If you go, they’ll surround you and demand grain. Right now, it’s harvest time down here. A few days ago, I was almost losing control of the meeting. Those heartless bastards were still reporting yields of 10,000 jin per mu. I almost slammed my fist on the table.”
"Why are you slamming your fist on the table? You should just slam your fist on someone," Secretary Song said.
Secretary Yan sighed, "It's not that easy. You don't know what's going on in the communes below. There are relatives and friends in a commune. If you don't win them over, no one will pay attention to your documents."
Secretary Song raised an eyebrow. "It can't all be like this, can it?"
"That's not necessarily the case, but there are exceptions. For the sake of the people, let's not cause too much trouble with the commune for now. So I advise you to be careful before you come down next year."
Secretary Yan took a puff of his cigarette. "It won't be long for you either, right? How's the preparation going? Which county are you planning to go to after you get here?"
They all went to the counties below to become county heads. Secretary Yan was relatively lucky. Not long after he arrived in the county, the county party secretary got into trouble and left, and he took over. However, it was no use. Newcomers can never beat the old hands.
Secretary Song shook his head and sighed, "I don't know yet. For now, I'd like to be closer to the provincial capital. Anyway, wherever I go, I'm serving the people. It would be best if I could be closer to home."
"Is it because you want to be closer to your partner?" Secretary Yan said with a smile. "Me? You should get married to your partner soon and bring them along. What else can a woman do if she doesn't follow her husband?"
Secretary Song shuddered. "Don't be ridiculous, men and women are equal." Asking Comrade Su to follow him? That's impossible.
He wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Secretary Yan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, Song, come work for me. I'll be the secretary and you'll be the county head, and we'll work together well."
“No, that won’t do. I definitely want to be in charge,” Secretary Song said directly.
"No problem, as long as you achieve something, we can split it. I'd love for you to produce some achievements so I can benefit from them, and then I'll get promoted quickly to make room for you."
"I'll think about it some more."
Such an important matter should of course be discussed with my revolutionary comrades. What if he wants to stay here for a long time?
On Monday, Secretary Song called the communications office at Jiangdong University. After waiting for about an hour, she finally received a reply from her boyfriend.
Su Yu asked, "Is this Secretary Song? Do you have any work instructions?"
"...I have important work to do and wanted to ask when you have time to meet at the school gate."
"Oh, since it's such an important job, I'll wait for you at the gate after school this afternoon. But I'm busy with work, so we only have half an hour to talk about it."
"……good."
After hanging up, Secretary Song scratched his head, feeling like he was working as a member of the underground Communist Party.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Secretary Song hurried to the Oriental Hotel, got a lunchbox of white flour dumplings for Su Yu, and then quickly ran to Jiangdong University.
He had just arrived when he saw Su Yu waiting at the door. He quickly rode his bike over and took out the lunchbox. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I brought you some big white flour dumplings with cabbage filling. They're still warm."
Su Yu touched the still-warm metal box, feeling the warmth on her fingertips, and looked up at Secretary Song, asking, "Have you eaten?"
"No, I was worried about you waiting. I can eat when I get back."
Su Yu, carrying a lunchbox, said, "Let's eat together. Let's find a place to sit nearby." She then sat down in his car.
Secretary Song asked in surprise, "Aren't you busy with work and only have half an hour?"
"I don't care." With a free lunchbox available, I can forget about any other job.
