Sitting behind the flower bed at school, the two of them, holding aluminum lunchboxes, ate the dumplings one bite at a time until they were all gone.
Although Secretary Song only ate about six-tenths of his fill, he still felt very satisfied. He had originally thought he would only be able to deliver something and then leave, but to receive such treatment was a pleasant surprise. Looking at the empty room, he only hoped that it would get dark a little later so he could spend more time with his partner.
Secretary Song packed the lunchbox and put it in a cloth bag, preparing to wash it when she got home.
Su Yu touched her belly and asked, "How did things go with Secretary Yan yesterday?"
"I was just about to discuss this with you." Secretary Song analyzed the situation in Baotian County with Su Yu yesterday. The conclusion was, "Don't be fooled by how good Old Yan seems. The better he is, the more I feel the situation in Baotian County is not good. Otherwise, why would he kindly ask me to go and compete with him?"
Su Yu smiled, knowing that her boyfriend wasn't the type to be taken advantage of and wouldn't be easily fooled.
Even if he's sent away to work elsewhere in the future, she can rest assured.
"So what are your thoughts?"
"Judging from the situation in Futian County, the situation below should be not much different. In any case, it will definitely be very difficult to carry out the work. The literacy campaign in the past few years was not done well. Everyone is not well-educated and has outdated ideas. It will be very difficult to manage them well. You don't know, I heard from Lao Yan that clan power still exists. They don't show their strength usually, but when the government orders are issued, they will outwardly comply but inwardly disobey."
Su Yu had heard some of this information. Although ideological movements were being carried out everywhere, these old-fashioned clan structures still existed. After all, the country had only been established for a few years, and many things were still not fully developed.
This feudal ideology would not be completely eradicated until ten years later.
"Comrade Dongzheng, do you want to go to Baotian County?"
“It doesn’t matter whether I go or not. I don’t need Lao Yan’s help. I’ll make arrangements before I go, and nothing will happen. Besides, Baotian County is far from the provincial capital. It takes almost three hours by car. When I’m busy with work, I won’t have time to come back to see you. The place I plan to choose must be close to the provincial capital so that it’s convenient to meet back and forth.”
Su Yu hadn't expected him to be so sentimental, but considering he wasn't very old, had never been in a relationship, and probably hadn't seen many women, he was likely still carrying some youthful feelings. That was understandable.
In the future, many men his age won't even have a clear path in life yet. It's tough on him.
Su Yu rarely showed such tender and gentle feelings as a woman.
"I'm not a young girl anymore, why are you being so clingy? If you don't have time to see me in the future, I'll come to see you. Work matters can't be taken lightly."
Secretary Song's eyes lit up. "It's settled then! You'll come to see me!"
Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "Did you do that on purpose?"
Secretary Song waved her hand, "No, no, no, that's really what I'm thinking. I can't bear to leave you. But if you're willing to come see me... then I'll broaden my options."
Su Yu chuckled, "Anyway, I can come see you. I'll come see you whenever you've settled into your position. I don't want to have to put up with everyone's attitude when I meet them."
"It's a deal!" Secretary Song was finally relieved.
If Comrade Su agrees, then he will have many more options. As his first place to be sent out, he must choose carefully.
As they were leaving, Su Yu asked, "The soap smells really nice. Shall we buy a couple more bars next time?"
Secretary Song blushed, feeling a little guilty, and nodded hastily, saying, "Okay."
He couldn't bear to use it, so he kept it by his pillow to smell the fragrance. Inevitably, his body also picked up some of the scent.
Of course, I can't let Comrade Su know about this, or she'll laugh at me.
When Su Yu returned to the dormitory, Li Ping had not yet come back. The other roommates had already returned, including Xu Lili.
"Xu Lili, if you're free, go take a walk around the classrooms. You're my secretary, representing me. Go there often so the other student council members know that I take this matter seriously."
Xu Lili looked down and said, "Isn't Li Ping there?"
Su Yu said angrily, "If you make Li Ping do all this, why don't you just make Li Ping do all your other things too?"
“As long as she’s willing,” Xu Lili said.
"This is your own. You're such a disappointment." Su Yu said angrily and walked out of the dormitory. Once outside, a smile appeared on her face.
Seeing that Su Yu was angry, Liu Min and the others glared at Xu Lili. They thought this person was really occupying a position without doing anything. She was completely useless.
...
Su Yu gradually handed over Xu Lili's affairs, including some miscellaneous tasks, to Li Ping.
The other roommates felt that Xu Lili was really going too far, making others do her work. Fortunately, Li Ping was hardworking and dutiful; if it were anyone else, they would definitely have made a scene.
Su Yu didn't try to persuade Xu Lili anymore, showing that she had given up on her.
Rumors gradually spread within the student union. It was said that the secretary next to Chairman Su was a good-for-nothing who did nothing and did not listen to Chairman Su's instructions. Now, the one doing the work was Li Ping, a student from the Chinese Literature Department's study group.
Gradually, when people needed to find Su Yu but couldn't find Rao, they got used to looking for Li Ping instead.
Unbeknownst to her, Xu Lili had once again become the most idle person in the entire student council.
Before, Xu Lili would have felt uncomfortable, but after experiencing such intense work, she realized that it was better not to work at all than to work so hard. Whether she worked or not, she was still a student council member and the president's secretary. It made no difference; it was best if someone else did the work for her.
