A family in Beijing was also reading a newspaper.
Qin Aimin pointed at Wang Yuerong who was giving a lecture in the photo.
Surprised, "Dad, Mom, this is Second Aunt in the newspaper, right?"
Weren't his uncle and aunt sent down to the countryside? Why was he still giving lectures?
Moreover, his second aunt didn't look thin at all, and seemed to be a little fatter than when she was in Beijing!
When did the treatment of relocated households become so good?
Ma Mei stopped her son and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We have severed ties with them a long time ago. We are just a rural teacher in a remote place."
Besides, due to the situation at that time, my family severed ties with the Qin family and took the initiative to report the Qin family. At that time, my father-in-law Qin Huaiyong suffered a lot during the criticism and struggle, which triggered his old illness and he passed away not long after.
My mother-in-law Zhang Shuying and my second brother Qin Wei's family were soon demoted in disgrace.
When she left, my mother-in-law said she would no longer recognize them.
Qin Hong: "Your mother is right. Although we are still surnamed Qin, we broke off relations with them long ago."
"You are now Qin Aimin, not Qin Zhiyi. Your sister is Qin Aihua, not Qin Zhiqing. Always remember your identity and don't let anyone catch you on the tail!"
Qin Aihua said considerately, "Dad, didn't you break off relations with your family in order to preserve the Qin family's status and bloodline? If we were sent down with them, we might not even be able to leave behind a single root."
"This is all for the future of the Qin family. Grandpa's spirit in heaven will understand."
Qin Hong looked at his daughter with relief: "You really understand Dad."
Qin Aihua... Of course she understood. After all, they were the same kind of people, both putting their own interests first.
Ma Mei: "But Wang Yuerong actually became a teacher. Are they doing well? It's written in the newspaper that every household in the village over there has plenty of surplus food."
She was a little jealous of this. Being a teacher was much easier than being a worker.
Qin Hong: "What are you thinking about? You can't be too careless. Stability is the most important thing for us now. It's better for our family of four to stay in Beijing."
Anyway, he couldn't go to the countryside to farm and be criticized by others.
Ma Mei curled her lips.
They stayed, but Qin Hong was a section chief before. Now, all the family members are ordinary employees.
The income is far less than before.
The family is used to spending lavishly, especially Qin Aimin's wife who is still unemployed. The couple has given birth to a grandson and cannot tolerate any injustice.
My family’s wages are not enough to save.
And Qin Aihua, who is the same age as Qin Zhiya, dreams of marrying into a good family. So she should dress nicely.
…
At this time, Yangqian City.
The leaders all gathered in the conference room.
Pan Yongming and others are reporting the whole story.
The four of them spoke one after another, explaining clearly Yu Weimin's actions in recent years and the changes in Xiangyang Commune.
In particular, it was mentioned that this time, the directors of other communes came to the county together, hoping to give their positions to Yu Weimin.
"Here's the thing. We think that Yu Weimin, the director of Xiangyang Commune, should be promoted."
The mayor's eyes lit up when he heard this. After a moment's thought, he said, "Then what position do you think is suitable for him?"
Pan Yongming and his colleagues discussed this matter on the way.
"It would be best if he could be in charge of all the communes in the county. As you know, our leadership team has never had a deputy position. It would be fine to give him a full-time position."
The implication is that they hope he will join the county leadership team.
The mayor tapped his fingers on the conference table repeatedly, looking thoughtful.
He said tactfully, "I know your character. If this man is really what you say, he is indeed a rare talent."
Having said that, his tone changed.
"But, actually, the city is also quite short of people. You know, the pressure here is no less than yours."
"Instead of placing him in the county, why not place him in the city? The platform is bigger, so he can give full play to his talents, right?"
He'd been so worried that he'd lost all his hair. Besides, people tend to go higher, and water flows lower. He meant well, didn't he?
He continued to persuade her, "Your county also belongs to the city. If you can be transferred to the city, will you still ignore your county?"
Pan Yongming and his companions...felt very disappointed!
They came here in a hurry and didn't want to waste another day, and that's it?
MD, I never expected that the mayor would behave like such a gangster!
Can we just pretend they had never been here?
Pan Yongming retorted: "Mayor, there has to be a first come first served principle in this matter!"
Mayor of Yangqian City: "You all know the situation in our city. Not only do we lack pillar industries, but the city's construction is also lagging behind."
"Since he can lead the people of Xiangyang Commune to cooperate with Tianjin Port, the city's resources are more abundant, and his arrival will unleash greater energy. Don't you agree?"
It’s not easy to discover a talent. When the opportunity is in front of you, you can’t give up no matter what.
Pan Yongming: "As a commune director, it's not appropriate for him to skip a grade like this. The best thing would be for him to gain experience in the county for two years before moving up to the city. That way, he won't be gossiped about."
Mayor of Yangqian City: "Talent introduction can be done through special hiring. I can definitely arrange this."
…
There's a lot of debate here.
What was Yu Weimin doing at this time?
I am struggling to help my wife pop popcorn.
One pot after another, bang, bang, bang! I felt like my ears were not my own.
"Wife, this money is not easy to earn!" He was almost deafened by the explosion.
Cao Xiu said: "It's not easy, but we have to make money. Once the economy opens up, we will have more capital to do other things."
They are used to living in big cities and would like to return to Beijing if they have the chance.
What's more, my daughter Youyou's husband's family will most likely return to Beijing. Can they still live apart for a long time?
My son Xiaoyuan will also be able to take the college entrance exam if he continues to improve. Aren't the best schools also in Beijing?
Furthermore, with the wave of layoffs in state-owned enterprises approaching, Yu Rou's boyfriend's family's jobs are likely to be in jeopardy. Wouldn't they have to find a solution then?
If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries.
It would be better for them to start striving for a new life early and look for opportunities to move their families to Beijing.
Cao Xiu's thinking was simple. A better family background would provide a strong foundation for her children. It was better than having a worse situation.
I can help you if you need anything.
It is now 1975. In 1977, the national college entrance examination was reinstated, and then the policy of returning to the city was relaxed. Later, the individual economy was opened up.
A conservative estimate is that she will be able to show her talents in two years or so.
Yu Weimin...
That's true. There's really no benefit in his current position.
So, it hurts.
He still wants to run his seed company, but why is he going further and further astray?
