What can an internal affairs department do? It's just collecting office supplies, boiling water, and managing hygiene.
Minister Liu: "...Well, I think we should arrange some more important positions."
Su Yu asked in surprise, "They're all national undertakings, they're all very important. The military has logistics personnel too." She hesitated, then added, "Otherwise, why would you need him, sir?"
"..." Since things had come to this point, Minister Liu simply decided to let it go. Having made this statement, he would never be able to hold his head high in front of his subordinates again.
Seeing Minister Liu wave his hand, Su Yu said, "Minister, I sincerely hope you can give me some guidance. After all, this is my first time working in the department, and I'm still figuring out which positions are important and which aren't.
"It's alright, just do it your way," Minister Liu said.
He felt that Su Ke was truly impeccable. He couldn't even find an excuse to offer a fair and open criticism.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Su Yu and Gao Xin said. "With your support, I believe our publicity department will be able to do an even better job!"
Back in her office, Su Yu earnestly announced Minister Liu's instructions: "Minister Liu just spoke with me to understand the work situation and gave his opinion, supporting the arrangement of the work according to my ideas. We should thank Minister Liu for his support. Let's all give him a round of applause."
The newly promoted comrades in the propaganda department clapped happily, while a few troublemakers looked depressed.
Having established herself in the department, Su Yu began to get to work.
She carefully studied the ideological documents issued by the Central Committee. She found that they were neither as radical nor as terrible as rumored. However, some of the wording was easily misunderstood and could be exploited by those with ulterior motives.
Su Yu then arranged for someone with good writing skills to make slight adjustments before distributing the document.
Previously, Su Yu knew nothing about the situation at the higher-ups, but now she suddenly felt confident. She reasoned that with everyone so busy, how could they possibly want to cause such a commotion? It could only be that some people just didn't care about stirring things up.
She can't control other places, but at least within the province, she has to try her best to keep things under control.
New Year's Day will come soon, and we will officially enter 1966.
Song Ma has retired and stays home to take care of the children, while Liu Lao Niang has returned to the Su family's place because Liu Mei is pregnant again.
Although she already had a daughter, Liu Mei still hoped to give Su Dazhi a son. So, as her daughter grew up and her mother had more free time, she and Su Dazhi put in a lot of effort and she became pregnant again. She's already three months along.
Su Dazhi's luck seemed to have turned around, and he became the deputy director of the factory.
Before the Lunar New Year, Su Yu received another letter from Su Zhi, saying he couldn't come home for the holiday because he was going to be a father. Lin Xiaoguang was also pregnant, already two months along when she sent the letter. Besides, he had been promoted to company commander, and his training duties had increased, so he simply couldn't find the time to come back.
Su Yu replied to him, telling him to take good care of Lin Xiaoguang and not to rush home.
Although Su Zhi and his wife didn't come back, the house was still quite lively because they have two children.
During the Chinese New Year, Su Yu took her child and Song Dongzheng back to her parents' home for a meal. Su Dazhi was so excited that his eyes almost welled up with tears. However, he seemed much calmer than when he was the director last time.
Su Yu felt that her younger brother had also grown up. Without realizing it, he had become more confident and mature than before.
After the New Year, the situation became increasingly tense.
Su Yuguang could tell from those articles. Vice Governor Qiu and his team also received some information about the situation in Beijing, which was becoming increasingly dire.
Su Yu distributed the quotations of great leaders that she had prepared, and the comrades in the propaganda department began to recite them fluently.
Then I suggested to Minister Liu that the entire propaganda department should study it, and after the study is completed, all subordinates should also be required to study it.
Minister Liu said, "Why are you suddenly learning this..."
“It’s always good to learn more. These are excerpts I recently copied from the directives. They are in line with the spirit of the higher authorities, so I suggest we study them.”
Minister Liu didn't think it was a big deal, so he let Su Yu handle it herself.
Soon, everyone in every department of the publicity department received a copy and had to study it. After studying it, there would be spot checks.
After the propaganda department finished studying it, they started having people in the cities, counties, and regions below start studying it too. Since they had nothing else to do anyway, they figured they might as well learn more.
