Mr. Lu's eyes were full of light.
The old man's whole spirit and demeanor was different, as if he had suddenly become ten years younger.
"Yes, the Lu family has been rehabilitated. After so many years, our Lu family has finally been cleared of all charges..." Old Master Lu sighed, "A few months ago, I received a letter saying that there was an intention to rehabilitate our family, but I didn't dare to expect it, nor did I dare to tell anyone, for fear that it would all be in vain... Fortunately, my hopes were not dashed, and we can return to the city. The country has returned the Lu family's house to us, and the university has allowed me to go back to teach. We have finally made it..."
As he spoke, the old man couldn't help but cover his face and cry.
Song Huazhi ran in, took out a handkerchief, and wiped Mr. Lu's tears.
Jiang Wanyue advised: "The hard times are over, and the future will be good. When does the Lu family plan to leave? I will let Old Wu take you back to the city."
"We'll leave tomorrow morning." Grandpa Lu said, "It was very hard when we were first sent down, but I was lucky to meet Director Jiang. If it weren't for you, my granddaughter-in-law would have died in childbirth. Look at us now. We're all plump and healthy. How can we look like reformed elements sent down?"
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "This is the address of the Lu family, and the university where I will work in the future. If Director Jiang goes to the provincial capital, he must come to my house and have a seat. Let our Lu family entertain Director Jiang once."
Jiang Wanyue took it with a smile: "I will take the children there when the time comes. I hope Mr. Lu won't think it's noisy."
Song Huaizhi had studied with Mr. Lu for two years, and his eyes were filled with reluctance: "Grandpa Lu, can I write to you?"
"Of course." Mr. Lu said with a smile, "If you encounter any difficulties in your studies, you can write to me. When you return, I will tell you the school's phone number. You can call me anytime. It will be more convenient."
Song Huaizhi nodded vigorously.
Early the next morning, Jiang Wanyue and several children personally sent Lu and his family onto the truck.
Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, Lu Chengyuan, Duan Jing, and a child under two years old.
The family got on the truck and waved to those who were seeing them off.
"It's a good thing, it's a good thing. I hope I won't see them again." Zhou Xiugui said, "City people should live well in the city. I hope they won't be sent down again. It's really a suffering!"
Jiang Wanyue turned her head to look at Mr. Li and the Wang couple, and said softly, "It's almost time, and you will be there too."
The large-scale rehabilitation seemed to have taken place in 1977. At most, they would all be rehabilitated in another half a year.
Mr. Li smiled nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter whether I go back to the city or not. I didn't suffer much in the Xiaojing Brigade. I have long regarded this place as my home."
Living in a brick house, having fish and meat every day, and not feeling tired from working, what else could one ask for in life?
Having said that, there was still hope in his eyes.
After the Lu family left, several positions became vacant. Jiang Wanyue was thinking about who to promote.
Mr. Lu used to be in charge of the fishery, and Mrs. Lu helped out in the kitchen. Both positions were easy to get.
Lu Chengyuan has been in charge of taking care of the machines, so it wouldn't be a big problem to let a young man take over.
The biggest problem is Duan Jing's position as the director of the R&D workshop. Although Duan Jing tries hard to train new people, there is no other way. This aspect really requires talent, and the people she trains are simply not qualified for this important position.
Jiang Wanyue could only give them some pointers and let them figure it out on their own.
Zhou Xiugui was just saying that she hoped to never see the Lu family again, but on the third day, the Lu couple and their child showed up at the Xiaojing Brigade.
"What happened?" Zhou Xiugui's face changed in anxiety. "Didn't he get rehabilitated? Why did he come back? What happened?"
She was afraid that the couple would be sent down to the countryside for reform again.
Lu Chengyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. Our Lu family has indeed been rehabilitated. My grandfather is now a professor at Hu Province University, and my grandmother has been rehired. The government has also arranged jobs for Duan Jing and me."
"Okay, okay, that's good!" Zhou Xiugui breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why are you guys back?"
"We still like Xiaojing Brigade." Duan Jing smiled and pursed her lips. "I still want to work under Director Jiang. I wonder if Director Jiang still welcomes me?"
Jiang Wanyue just happened to come over, and she said honestly, "You chose to stay in the brigade, which is definitely not as good as the city. At least in terms of medical education, the village is definitely not as good as the provincial capital. I'm afraid you will regret it in the future."
"Didn't Director Jiang choose to stay in Xiaojing Brigade?" Duan Jing said with a smile, "Director Jiang had so many opportunities to go to the city and live a good life there, but he still chose to stay. That's because we all love this land and hope to make it better and better. Although I am not from Xiaojing Brigade, I hope that my children can become native Xiaojing Brigade members!"
Jiang Wanyue admired her very much.
She suffered so much in Xiaojing Brigade, but was still willing to stay. She is a woman with a broad mind.
Lu Chengyuan said, "My husband and I have not transferred our household registration to the provincial capital, but remain in Xiaojing Brigade. Can we allocate a site for building a house?"
As the deputy branch secretary, Jiang Wanyue understood these policies. She smiled and nodded, "Indeed, you can, but you have to pay a fee. You can choose a place by yourself, and then register at the brigade headquarters. After paying the fee, it will be your homestead."
Lu Chengyuan nodded.
After the crowd dispersed, he found Mr. Li and the Wang couple and whispered, "My grandfather is working on your behalf. It won't be long before your name is redressed. Just be patient and wait..."
Mr. Li's eyes were red. "I've waited for so many years. A few months won't make a difference..."
At the end of September, when the bamboo weaving factory had almost finished producing its products, the bamboo weaving store in the provincial capital officially opened.
This store is completely different from the grocery store next door. Because it sells bamboo products, the decoration is all made of bamboo. There is a row of fake green bamboo planted at the door, and the windows are antique lattice windows. The doors are also Chinese style. When you walk in, there are carved bamboo utensils everywhere. In the middle is a tea table with tea sets and tea cups, as well as a seating area for guests to sit down and drink tea.
The main products here are bamboo products. The first category is bamboo daily necessities, mats and beds, etc. The second category is bamboo fine products, tea sets and some exquisite ornaments. The two categories of goods are divided into two areas... One is the daily area and the other is the high-end area. They cater to different customer groups, so two doors are opened.
The whole country is on holiday for National Day, and the bamboo weaving store is officially open.
The salesperson sent four people over.
Because it is the National Day, the hottest time has passed, and cool mats are not popular. Of course, this is not the market that Jiang Wanyue focuses on. Products without added value cannot make much money. The main thing is high-quality products, otherwise they would not choose to open in autumn.
Some people came in and were quite interested in the tea sets and ornaments, but when they heard the prices, they were afraid to look any further.
A bamboo vase costs 18 yuan, which is outrageously expensive for them.
