Before the village chief and Accountant Chen even arrived at the village, everyone working in the fields knew that the people in the cowshed were going back to the city.
Chen Ergou was telling the villagers the news he had just heard.
"The county magistrate came to pick him up personally. I heard that he used to be a high-ranking official in Beijing and the director of a large hospital. He is very impressive. You didn't see that the county magistrate was very attentive to the couple."
Uncle Si was a little bit unconvinced when he heard what he said, and asked suspiciously, "Then why didn't they leave? Are they still working here?"
“That’s because they have a high level of ideological awareness. The county chief said he would take them to stay at the county guesthouse, but the two did not agree.
He also said that since they were scheduled to return tomorrow, they had to finish today's work.
The county magistrate had no choice but to ask the driver to pick them up tomorrow. ”
When Xu's father and mother saw the two of them coming back, they hurriedly asked, "Brother Lu, elder sister, what did you say?"
"They said that the higher-ups have issued a document asking us to return to our posts. We don't know the details yet, but it shouldn't be a bad thing."
Only now did Mr. and Mrs. Lu breathe a sigh of relief and smile sincerely.
Father Xu and Mother Xu were very happy to hear this: "Really? That's great. Did they tell you when to go back?"
Father Lu said, "County Magistrate Liu said he will come to pick us up tomorrow morning to take the train to Qi City!"
"Let's go back and take a look at the situation first, and then try to see if we can get you back to the city."
Father Xu said quickly, "Brother Lu, don't worry. You haven't been in Beijing for so many years. You must have a lot of things to deal with when you go back. Let's wait a little longer. I feel that we will be able to meet in Beijing soon."
Mr. Lu also thought so. During this period, they often listened to the radio at night and knew that the policy had changed. The higher-ups attached great importance to these highly educated people, so it was only a matter of time before they returned to the city.
Mother Lu was silent for a while, then said, "Why don't you go back alone, and I'll help Xiao Ning take care of the child here. Since the country has reinstated us, we can have open contact in the future without worrying about getting the child into trouble."
Aunt Xu said hurriedly, "Big sister, why are you staying here? Everyone who can go back now will be accepted. When you are settled over there, you can find a way to bring them back."
Mother Lu was very hesitant. Although she couldn't help openly before, she could help take care of the children at night. If she went back, Beijing was so far away that she wouldn't be able to lend a hand even if she wanted to.
But what Xu Ma said made sense. Only by going back and securing the position could we find a way to bring them back.
"Sister, let's go back and discuss this with Xiao Ning tonight! Let's see what she says."
Seeing that she hadn't made up her mind yet, Xu's mother persuaded her like this first, and then let Xiao Ning talk to her properly when she got back.
She knew her daughter well and she would never let Lu Ma stay here. She would definitely persuade her to go back first and find a solution later.
The educated youth were also discussing this after work. Lin Miao was taking care of the children in the house. After hearing what they said, she knew that the couple must be leaving.
She thought of the child from some time ago who returned all the things she had taken away, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
You little brat, you are so nosy. It’s not a gift for him, but he is everywhere.
Knowing that they won't leave until tomorrow, I plan to go there again after they come back. This time I won't send them anything, but just go there to sit and chat.
As usual, Dad Lu and Dad Xu were the last to get off work. When they returned to the cowshed, Xiao Mo had already prepared dinner.
He came back from school today and didn't play in the village, so he didn't know that Mr. and Mrs. Lu would go back to the city tomorrow.
After watching them come back, he walked out, saying, "Dad, Mom, Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, I've prepared the meal, you guys go eat, I'll go to my sister's place to eat."
Since the beginning of this spring, Xu Ning told Xiao Mo that he could go there anytime and he didn't have to hide from people!
Since the gang was crushed last October, the situation has become increasingly clear, so it's okay even if someone knows about their relationship now.
But Xu Mo was still very careful. Although he was not as sneaky as before, he still chose to go when there were not many people around.
Father Xu stopped him and said with a smile: "Xiao Mo, wait a while before going. I have good news to tell you."
Xu Mo was almost at the door when he heard his father say this. He asked curiously, "Dad, what's the good news?"
When Grandpa Qi heard them talking, he also came out of the house.
"Uncle Qi, Xiao Mo, someone from the county came today and told us to go back and resume our duties."
As soon as Dad Lu finished speaking, Xiao Mo jumped over and asked loudly: "Uncle Lu, what did you say? If you want to go back to work, doesn't that mean you can go back to the city?"
Although he came to Yushu Village with his parents when he was very young, he often heard other educated youth talk about returning to the city.
Dad Xu and Dad Lu often talked to him about these things at night, so he understood them very well. Once he was told to go back to work, then everything should be fine.
Grandpa Qi was also surprised when he heard this.
"Have you confirmed it? When are you leaving?"
Father Lu said with a smile: "Uncle Qi, the county will come to pick you up tomorrow!"
"Okay, okay, that's good news. Let's eat. After dinner, go tell Xiao Ning about it."
Grandpa Qi was very happy and excited. The couple were the first to arrive. After living together for several years, they had become like family. Now that he could see them return to the city, he was extremely happy.
Mother Lu also smiled and said, "Seventh Uncle, let's go back and check the situation first, and then find a way to bring you all back."
While a few people were still talking here, Xu Mo had already run out.
