After the dinner, Liu Chuan and Xiao Yawen used the excuse that they were a little tired and wanted to go back to their room to rest.

Leaving time for Liu Hongyi and Ai Xiaoyu.

It seems that the couple have decided to make Ai Xiaoyu the daughter-in-law of the Liu family.

"Xiaoyu, let me walk around the factory with you."

Unconsciously, Liu Hongyi started calling Ai Xiaoyu "Xiaoyu".

"Um……"

Ai Xiaoyu was very sensitive to this change. Her pretty face turned slightly red. She nodded gently, lowered her head, and followed behind Liu Hongyi with a cautious look.

Liu Hongyi suddenly felt distressed and said, "Xiaoyu, you don't have to be so cautious. This special period will eventually pass. Things will get better and better in the future. Once Uncle Ai implements the policy and reinstates his official position, no one will be able to harm you."

Ai Xiaoyu, though quiet and introverted, had never been so frightened of people before. After the Kang Hongmei incident, she became extraordinarily sensitive, becoming nervous and fearful in front of everyone except her closest friends.

Liu Hongyi didn't know whether this could be considered some kind of "post-traumatic stress disorder".

"Will that day really come?"

Ai Xiaoyu looked up at him and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, trust me."

"I also told you last time I wrote to you to have Uncle Ai, Uncle Huang, and the others write to their superiors to report their situation. As long as the higher-ups see it, they will definitely take it into consideration."

Liu Hongyi, who was familiar with this period of history, was well aware that the policy had been implemented over the past few years, but the number of people involved was small. Large-scale implementation would take another two to three years. After all, investigations and evidence collection took time.

But it is not without exception.

Ai Gaofeng, Huang Anping, and others were not sent to labor camps or prisons, but were instead relegated to the Yanggou Cadre School. Essentially, these were still "contradictions among the people," and the resistance to policy implementation was much smaller than "contradictions between the enemy and us."

If the higher-level leaders see the letter they wrote and if there happens to be a need for cadres locally, they might implement the policy in advance.

Whether there are dates or not, just give it a try and see what happens. There is no harm anyway.

"Well, my dad, Uncle Huang and a few others all wrote letters, and Uncle Liu helped them mail them."

Ai Xiaoyu's mood became a little more cheerful.

"That's right, just be patient and wait. Things will definitely get better."

Liu Hongyi said with firm confidence.

"Besides, you're in the cadre school now. My parents are looking after you, so no one can do anything to you. You don't have to be afraid. I'm currently at Factory 576, and I'll probably be there for a few more months. If anything happens, just give me a call and I'll be there right away."

Qingshan Machinery Factory is not far from Yanggou Cadre School, about 30 kilometers away by road.

If you really need it, you can get there by bike in two or three hours.

Ai Xiaoyu nodded at first, then said worriedly, "But I heard someone's reporting to the District Revolutionary Committee, saying Uncle Liu is practicing capitalism in the cadre school, raising rabbits, fish, and mushrooms, and that he's practicing productivity theory... What if the District Revolutionary Committee leaders investigate?"

Now, Liu Chuan'an's family is Ai Xiaoyu's only support and her spiritual pillar.

If something happens to Liu Chuan, Ai Xiaoyu's world will really fall apart.

Liu Hongyi remained calm and said, "I considered these issues when I first proposed this. Things are different now than they were a few years ago. While some people will still seize on this to make a fuss, there's no need to worry too much."

"It won't be that severe. At most, they'll be asked to write a self-criticism and punished one by one..."

"But being punished is also very serious."

Ai Xiaoyu blinked her big eyes, still very worried.

In her opinion, not to mention being punished, even having to make a self-criticism is difficult to accept.

That means you made a mistake.

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you punish them one by one for something like this, it might even be a credit in the future."
