Wu Xunda returned home with a heavy heart.
Upon seeing Old Chen and his wife, they immediately composed themselves.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen came here specifically to see their daughter. After all, this is her first New Year away from home, and they couldn't bear to part with her, so they traveled all this way to see her.
Chen Ruixue acted coquettishly towards her mother.
"Mom and Dad, why did you come all this way? It's very windy and sandy here, and the conditions are quite harsh."
"You little ungrateful thing, your dad and I only do this because we feel sorry for you. Otherwise, why would we suffer like this?"
It took me three days and three nights by train to get here.
“Your grandparents were originally going to come too, but your dad and I persuaded them not to.”
"I don't know what's wrong with you. Why did you have to come here to work in the countryside? If you really can't, ask your grandfather to put in a good word for you."
"Who would dare to make things difficult for our family?"
Chen's mother looked at her daughter with disappointment and frustration. Even though the Wu family was well-off, this place still couldn't compare to the capital.
She truly never expected her daughter and niece to be so willful.
They originally thought that once their daughter arrived here, she would start complaining within three days, at which point they would transfer her away.
Unexpectedly, this child really impressed everyone. The pampered young lady actually worked diligently here for almost half a year.
When I saw my son's letter saying that my daughter was doing the hardest and most tiring work on the construction site, with blisters all over her shoulders, she didn't complain at all.
The couple couldn't resist any longer, and with the urging of the old man and woman, they came to see their daughter with lots of bags and packages.
However, the couple breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that their son had transferred their daughter to the county town.
Asking her daughter to move stones and carry sand was something Chen Ruixue had never done before.
I noticed that this child has become tanned and thinner in such a short time.
However, he was full of energy and spirit.
"Mom, please don't say things like that that show a lack of progress anymore."
If other educated youth can do it, why can't I?
And I think I did a pretty good job.
Although it was a bit tough at first, I got used to it eventually.
"Mom, I don't want people to say that I'm a pampered young lady in the family."
Grandpa can, Grandma can, you and Father, brothers can all, so why can't I?
"I can endure hardship too; I'm a descendant of soldiers."
“Go back and tell your grandparents not to come. I’m doing very well here, in fact, I’m doing very well.”
Chen Ruixue is now ambitious; she feels freer after leaving home.
Chen's mother was helpless; looking at her daughter like this, she didn't know what to say.
I thought this child would cry and beg to go back after suffering, but I didn't expect that the child would be determined to stay here.
Mr. Chen smiled as he looked at his daughter.
"Alright, like father, like son. Our daughter is our daughter. The Chen family is not afraid of hardship."
You spoil your son so much, always crying and begging to come see your daughter. See, isn't this wonderful?"
The family burst into laughter. Chen Ruijun looked up and saw Wu Xunda winking at him.
"Dad, I'm going out for a smoke."
You two talk to your sister.
He and Wu Xunda walked out of the courtyard, and Wu Xunda said in a low voice.
"Who exactly is this Jiang Tiecheng you told me about last time?"
Chen Ruijun raised an eyebrow.
Why are you asking him out of the blue?
He was just an ordinary educated youth who wanted to climb the social ladder and had designs on my sister.
Chen Ruijin had long forgotten about Jiang Tiecheng by now. Could an educated youth from an ordinary family really make a splash in the Red Flag Brigade?
“You’re just an ordinary educated youth, do you even know who came to see me today?”
"Who's looking for you?"
"Secretary Liu!"
"Which Secretary Liu?"
"Secretary Liu, the secretary to County Magistrate Song!"
At this point, Wu Junda was a little annoyed; he hadn't expected to get himself into such trouble.
He and Chen Ruijun are very good friends.
On one hand, he was a friend; on the other hand, he was Mr. Chen's student.
But I never expected something like this to happen.
"What does Secretary Liu want with you?"
Upon hearing that he was County Magistrate Song's secretary, Chen Ruijun couldn't help but take it seriously.
"Secretary Liu hinted to me that County Chief Song had a very good impression of Jiang Tiecheng and told me not to make things difficult for him."
"What? How could County Chief Song possibly know Jiang Tiecheng?"
I have investigated Jiang Tiecheng.
He was the son of an ordinary working-class family.
The family's circumstances were very modest; it was a widowed mother raising five children.
Chen Ruijun was completely baffled.
"This matter can only be put on hold for now, as County Magistrate Song has already spoken."
Although I wasn't given any explicit instructions, it was clear that if I continued to act recklessly, County Magistrate Song Jianshang would likely intervene personally.
We were in the wrong to begin with.
Wu Xunda would never joke about something like this.
The county head has already taken notice; if you still make things difficult for him, you're just asking for trouble.
"I know that I didn't think things through when I got to Lao Wu. I never expected that this kid could actually get on the good side of County Chief Song."
"I'm sorry I've caused you trouble!"
Wu Xunda smiled.
"We're like family, why are you being so polite with me?"
But don't worry, even if I give him leeway, I can still make sure he doesn't take any more orders.
Chen Ruijun nodded. He knew that Lao Wu had the means to invest in the director of the investment promotion bureau, which was not an easy position to hold.
It would be strange if Lao Wu, who became the director of the investment promotion bureau in his early twenties, didn't have some ability.
