That day, Xiao Zheng pulled An Hua into the room as soon as he came in, and said solemnly: "He Sifu wants to transfer me to the military region as chief of staff."
An Hua was stunned. "The Chief of Staff of the Provincial Military Region is a deputy army-level cadre. You were just promoted to a full division commander, and now you are promoted to deputy army commander?"
Moreover, if the military rank system is still implemented, cadres at the deputy army level must be at least major general level. There are a lot of major generals in the country, and most people will be stuck here for their entire lives.
Xiao Zheng had the opportunity to make this leap when he was in his early thirties.
Soon, An Hua realized, "What is He Siyu's purpose?"
Xiao Zheng was silent for a while before saying, "He wants me to help him."
It is obvious that the struggle is about to enter a heated stage.
An Hua asked Xiao Zheng: "What do you think?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head slowly, "I don't want to go. First of all, I don't think highly of the team he's on, and secondly, I don't want to offend anyone."
They had discussed this issue before, and An Hua also guessed that Xiao Zheng would not be tempted by this opportunity.
An Hua nodded approvingly, "I said before, in this chaotic situation, it's best to go wherever the wind blows, to get along with both sides and not offend anyone. That's the most ideal situation."
That's what they say, but it's not that easy to do.
Let's not talk about anything else, just say that He Sichun wanted to transfer Xiao Zheng to the provincial military region to help him. If Xiao Zheng just refused bluntly, he would first offend He Sichun and also be known as ungrateful.
An Hua asked him, "How are you going to refuse?"
Xiao Zheng put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth. After a long while, he looked out the window at the dark sky and said, "Don't refuse, just delay."

As the weather got increasingly hotter, the great movement that swept across the country quietly arrived.
An Bohuai came to An Hua with a miserable face: "It's a mess, everything is a mess! Fortunately, I'm not from the provincial capital..."
The struggle for power initially began in the academic and educational circles, with schools being the first to be hit.
"The school's leaders, professors, and teachers were persecuted, and order was completely disrupted. Except for the cafeteria, where people could still eat, the rest of the school was paralyzed..."
It's not just the universities in the provincial capital, it's the same even in the middle schools in Yun County. The students have all turned into warriors, firing at the authority that once oppressed them.
An Bohuai sighed that he had escaped a disaster, but he was also glad that An Ze went to the Third Front. The construction of the Third Front was a national strategic task, and the factory was built in such a deep mountain forest, so the impact of political turmoil would definitely be much smaller.
However, An Hua and An Bohuai were still worried, so they wrote a letter to ask about An Ze's situation.
Then, An Hua looked at her belly and fell into deep thought. The food factory was relatively calm at the moment, but she believed that the crisis would soon spread to others. Although she had the security of being a military dependent, it was always easy for something to go wrong with a big belly in such a chaotic situation.
After much thought, An Hua simply wrote a sick note and asked for a long-term sick leave.
Xiao Zheng thought she didn't want to go to work because she was tired from pregnancy, so he supported her and said, "It's okay even if you don't work in the future. Anyway, your family doesn't need your help."
After learning about this, Qiu Shushen gave An Hua two hundred yuan and said, "Take this money and buy whatever you want."
An Hua smiled and said, "Mom, I have enough money to spend. Xiao Zheng's salary and allowance are all with me. You can keep your money yourself."
Qiu Shushen shook her head, "Your father and I are rich, and the son-in-law's money is the son-in-law's money. You are pregnant, so it stands to reason that your mother should subsidize you a little."
An Hua said she didn't want the two hundred dollars at all. The next ten years would be a mess. It was unknown whether An Bohuai would encounter any other accidents and whether the royalties could be paid as usual.
Seeing this, Qiu Shushen no longer forced An Hua to accept the money. She just thought that she should pay more attention to her daughter's needs and buy it for her daughter.
When she was seven months pregnant, An Hua's belly was so big that she even had difficulty walking, but she still insisted on walking and exercising every day.
At this time, the food factory also became chaotic.
Yang Tianjiao complained to An Hua, "Those people organized themselves to criticize us every day. Even production was stopped. The various departments of the factory were no longer functioning. They just studied ideology all day long..."
An Hua quickly stopped her from talking, "I'm just saying this, but don't show any opposition to it outside."
Yang Tianjiao sighed, "I know."
An Hua asked again: "You weren't implicated, were you?"
Yang Tianjiao shook his head. “However, Li Hansong and I were planning to hold a banquet, but this won’t be possible.”
Yang Tianjiao and Li Hansong's marriage report had been approved a long time ago, and they had also received their marriage certificate. They were just waiting to hold a wedding banquet to announce it to their relatives and friends.
An Hua: "Don't rush it. In this situation, it won't be peaceful. Let's just wait and see."
Yang Tianjiao blushed and said, "I'm fine, it's Li Hansong who's anxious. The house he applied for has been approved, and he said he hopes I can move in as soon as possible."
This era is not like the later ones. Even if their relationship is legal, without a wedding banquet, it is like missing a procedure and they cannot proceed to the next step.
Others who were also affected by the chaotic situation included Geng Biao and Xiao Fangfang.
Geng Biao had originally planned to propose marriage on July 1st, but once the factory became chaotic, his workload as the head of the security department increased, and he wished he could live and eat in the factory every day.
So the proposal of marriage was temporarily delayed.
