Chapter 442 All Return to the Brigade



The people who arrived were Xiao Fan, Yu Shaoheng, and Wei Wenqi.

The three students are studying at Renmin University, Peking University, and Communication University of China, respectively.

Yu Shaoheng slapped his arm hard and said with a smile, "Good lad, you actually don't want the job in Kyoto and want to go back. Let's see if it's true."

Lu Xiaojun scratched his head, "The news has spread outside the school so quickly!"

The news spread quickly, since everyone was scrambling to get a good job in Kyoto, but he refused.

Wei Wenqi explained, "I happened to hear about this from my brother-in-law, so I came over. We met Brother Fan at the school gate."

"How are things going? Have you all been assigned jobs?" Lu Xiaojun asked.

Yu Shaoheng nodded. "The assignments are done. Wenqi has been assigned to the Kyoto Newspaper, and I'm in a government department, but neither of us intends to accept the assignments."

"What? Isn't your job pretty good?"

Yu Shaoheng laughed and said, "I'm just like you, I've decided to go back to the Changhe Brigade. It's more interesting to go back and work with Brother Yuan."

"Really? Does my older brother know?" Lu Xiaojun was overjoyed.

"Of course I know. I just called before I came. Brother Yuan promised that we would be allocated a villa when we got back, and that our monthly salary would be no less than a thousand. Tsk, compared to this, the job in Kyoto suddenly doesn't seem so appealing."

"Hehe, Heng-ge, you're right!" Lu Xiaojun chuckled.

Realizing he hadn't mentioned Xiao Fan, he asked again, "What about Brother Fan?"

Yu Shao raised his hand and leaned on Xiao Fan's shoulder, while patting his chest with his other hand.

"Brother Fan is even more remarkable. He was on temporary assignment in his hometown, but when he returned, he became the deputy secretary of the county, replacing the original deputy secretary, Guo."

Lu Xiaojun gave Xiao Fan a thumbs up, "Amazing!"

With his educational background, even though his current position is lower than Feng Tao and Qian Weixin's, he will definitely be promoted faster than them in the future. He truly has a bright future.

Xiao Fan said, "Since we both have to go back, let's set a time to go together."

Everyone agreed and they planned to leave as soon as the holiday started.

Xiao Fan and Yu Shaoheng had other matters to attend to and left first, while Wei Wenqi stayed behind since he had nothing else to do.

What made Lu Xiaojun happiest was that Wei Wenqi was also going back to the brigade. Over the years, Wei Wenqi had been his only good brother.

He led the person to the classroom and gathered his own belongings.

"Did Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei agree to let you return to the brigade?"

“I completely agree. My sister wants to go with my brother-in-law. They think that if I go there, they can take care of her.”

"And they also said they'd see if they could retire early and go back to the brigade to retire later."

"That's great, our brigade is perfect for retirement."

As they talked, they quickly packed up their books and other belongings, and Lu Xiaojun led him back to the dormitory.

They left, but the conversation about Lu Xiaojun in the classroom didn't stop.

They all overheard the conversation and were surprised to learn that Lu Xiaojun wasn't the only one who made the same choice.

Birds of a feather flock together. Many people don't believe their claims about getting housing and earning thousands a month; they think it's just a joke.

Ji Xinmin, however, was wary. She felt that Lu Xiaojun was not the kind of person who would joke around casually.

At graduation, a wave of confessions swept through the school, and many single students found their other half.

Lu Xiaojun, who was always popular with his female classmates, only received one letter, a love letter within a love letter.

It was written by the prettiest girl in their class. She mentioned that she would be willing to date Lu Xiaojun if he changed his mind and stayed in Kyoto to work.

The class beauty's letter was no secret; her best friends had already spread the word, making it known to everyone.

Everyone is waiting to see Lu Xiaojun's decision, and many believe he will stay. After all, the two were close before, and it seemed they had already developed feelings for each other.

Lu Xiaojun read the love letter expressionlessly, then calmly put it back in his pocket.

He tossed it aside and never bothered with the letter again.

He once had feelings for the class beauty, but that's all in the past.

When he first entered the school, he dressed well. Although he was not extravagant, he never lacked money. Everyone assumed that he was a well-off city dweller.

Few people were close to him, but one of them was the class beauty.

She was beautiful, and being able to get into Tsinghua University meant she was definitely not just a pretty face. Plus, her gentle and considerate nature attracted Lu Xiaojun.

During his sophomore year summer vacation, the village set up a factory and built houses. He went back and worked on the construction site for two months. After he got tanned, people asked him about it. He said it was because he was carrying bricks on the construction site during the summer vacation. When they asked him more questions, they found out that he came from a rural background and had no parents. Gradually, many people kept their distance from him.

This includes the class beauty.

We used to be able to discuss our studies, eat in the cafeteria, and participate in club activities together every day, but we rarely saw each other anymore.

Lu Xiaojun wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was a very sensitive person and could clearly sense that the other person was distancing themselves from him.

He quickly suppressed the thought that had just arisen; he and the class beauty were not on the same wavelength.

Now, however, she wants to date him because of a job in Kyoto. But she doesn't actually want to date him; she wants to date him through their work.

He'd never even acknowledge her!

Ji Xinmin has been extremely nervous these past two days, constantly wondering if Lu Xiaojun is about to accept the class beauty's advances.

But they weren't familiar with each other, so she didn't want to ask them rashly.

Knowing that she was leaving school that day, she waited downstairs at their dormitory building and watched him come down with his bags. Then she mustered up her courage and went up to him.

"Lu, are you going home?"

"Yes!"

Ji Xinmin felt relieved; going home meant she hadn't accepted the class beauty's advances at all.

The two chatted for a bit and successfully exchanged mailing addresses. Ji Xinmin left happily.

While Lu Xiaojun, Xiao Fan, and the others were on their way home by train, Lu Yuan was extremely busy.

Many things at the food processing plant are still in their early stages, and he needs to personally oversee many areas to feel at ease.

Considering the large number of people coming to the temple soon, Lu Yuan felt it was time to build the village's bus station.

A star-rated hotel should also be put on the agenda.

There have been many people visiting the temple these days. The miraculous events of the opening day have spread far and wide, and many people come to pray for health and children.

Fortunately, the old houses in the village were not demolished, and the educated youth settlement and the slightly better houses are still habitable.

But as mentioned before, there weren't enough people, so all the aunties and grandmas in the village who had nothing to do pitched in, and that's how a warm but unprofessional reception team started working.

Lu Yuan was shameless, but he had no choice but to leave it at that for the time being.

Fortunately, most of the people who came were ordinary folks who didn't care much about etiquette.

But it's definitely not possible for people from Hong Kong to come next month.

Lu Yuan went to the commune and county again to prepare to recruit a group of young people with good looks and temperament.

He thought the recruitment would go smoothly, but when he heard his requirements for hiring—good-looking and young—he couldn't find a single person.

"Hurry up, this person is definitely up to no good. Anyone who is young and pretty is probably a human trafficker. If they recruit someone, they'll definitely sell them."

Lu Yuan: ...
