Liu Chuan, who was with them, also picked up the porcelain bowl and whispered, "Dear old leaders, I have made all the arrangements. The people outside are trustworthy people. Tonight, everyone can get together and chat!"

In extraordinary times, holding such a party would definitely involve great risks.

So Liu Chuan made more detailed arrangements.

Not only did he replace the people outside the solitary confinement room with more trustworthy ones, he also found a reason to send Yin Lingshan, an unreliable guy, to the regional office to do some work.

Yin Lingshan used to be a regional cadre and his home was in Chuxin County.

Since I'm going to the region, I must stay at home tonight and will never come back so late at night.

Even if he wanted to come back, there was no bus at night.

"Okay, Chu An, Lao Ai was right about you. You are truly a man of love and righteousness... It's true that a journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character..."

Huang Anping said with great emotion.

Ai Gaofeng said with a smile: "Chu An is not only loyal and righteous, but also brave and resourceful. Even his son is exactly like him, a powerful character... Oh, by the way, Chu An, where is that little guy Hongyi? Why don't you see him?"

Liu Chuan smiled and replied, "I arranged for him to guard outside."

Of course, I am most relieved about my own son.

Ai Gaofeng said quickly: "Ask him in, ask him in. I'm so happy today. Let all the uncles meet him!"

Ai Gaofeng now firmly remembered what he had said: If there is a day when things can turn around, he must train Liu Hongyi well. This kid will definitely become a great man in the future.

Now that Huang Anping, Zhao Bolun, Fang Qijun and others have a good impression of Liu Hongyi, it will definitely be a great help to him in the future.

If Ai Gaofeng can be reinstated one day, Lao Huang and others will still have such an opportunity.

Wouldn't it be more effective if several people took care of Liu Chuan and his son together than if Ai Gaofeng were alone?

Liu Chuan agreed immediately and went out to call Liu Hongyi in.

"Hey, this is Hongyi? I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown so tall and become a grown man..."

Seeing the tall, upright and dignified Liu Hongyi, Huang Anping and others were full of praise for him.

Liu Hongyi bowed to each of the old leaders one by one and politely called out, "Hello, Uncle Ai, Hello, Uncle Huang, Hello, Uncle Zhao, Hello, Uncle Fang!"

The etiquette and courtesy are impeccable.

Speaking of which, Liu Hongyi's heart was also full of sighs.

I didn't expect to see these respected old leaders again.

It's true that things in this world are so unpredictable.

"Okay, okay, Hongyi, come and sit here."

Ai Gaofeng is the host and he is still the one who "hosts" the party.

"These uncles have watched you grow up."

Several people sat down around the small wooden table, eating, drinking and chatting.

Liu Hongyi automatically acted as a waiter, pouring tea for them. Although he felt a little disappointed that he couldn't drink, such a gathering was truly rare, and everyone's spirits were still high.

However, Huang Anping looked very unwell, coughing from time to time. Perhaps because he was too happy, an abnormal blush appeared on his pale face.

Liu Hongyi couldn't help but frown and started talking: "Dad, uncles, I see that Uncle Huang seems to be a little unwell... These past few days, I've also interacted with other people and found that many people are not in good health... The main reason is that the food is too poor and the nutrition is not enough..."

Ai Gaofeng nodded repeatedly and said, "Hongyi is right. The food in our cadre school is really terrible. Not only do we not see any meat for months and years, but we can't even get enough to eat... and with such a heavy production workload, it would be strange if this person is in good health."

"Chu An, can you think of a way to make the comrades eat a little better?"

In the past, Ai Gaofeng would never have dared to make such a suggestion.

It’s good enough if I can eat half full, how dare I have any other extravagant hopes?

Only because Liu Chuan became the head of the cadre school would Ai Gaofeng say such a thing.

With an old subordinate like Liu Chuan who is loyal and righteous, his days in the cadre school will not be too bad. However, Ai Gaofeng is also a very loyal person. He feels bad watching others suffer.

Many of these so-called "reform elements" are well-educated and are true pillars of society.

It would be such a shame if I completely ruined my health here.

Liu Chuan said in embarrassment: "Old leader, it's not that I don't try my best, but it's true that a good wife can't cook without rice. The monthly rations in the cadre school are so small, it's hard to have enough to eat..."

When it comes to improving the food, I am powerless.

I, the so-called leader of the cadre school, was, to put it bluntly, just a section-level cadre. In the eyes of the district and county leaders, I was nothing. Even if I submitted a report to them asking for food, they wouldn't give it to me.

The key point is that the regions and counties are not well-off at all. Food is supplied with tickets, and not even a pound more is allowed.

The poor and lower-middle peasants and revolutionary cadres are not well fed and clothed, so you "reform elements" should have no illusions.

As long as you are not starving to death, just be happy.

Ai Gaofeng and the others also knew his difficulties. Huang Anping couldn't help but say, "Old Ai, please don't make things difficult for Chu An. Don't you know what kind of person he is? If he can think of a way, how could he treat us unfairly?"

Zhao Bolun and Fang Qijun also nodded repeatedly.

Ai Gaofeng sighed and said, "I know Chu An is in trouble, but seeing everyone's health getting worse day by day, I feel bad. Sigh, when will this day end..."

Ai Gaofeng is famous in the region for his tough style. When he was in office, no matter how big the difficulties were, he always rolled up his sleeves and faced them head-on, showing the military's style of overcoming difficulties without fear.

But in this situation, he could only sigh helplessly and do nothing.

Everyone's mood suddenly became a little low.

At this time, Liu Hongyi spoke up and said, "Dad, uncles, I have a suggestion..."

"You say it, you say it!"

Ai Gaofeng said hurriedly, looking at him with eyes full of hope.

He now didn't dare to underestimate this sixteen-year-old boy at all.

He is truly brave and resourceful.

"I think the food is not good. We can try to increase the meat intake."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

You can’t even have enough rice, so why eat meat?

"Meat? Where does it come from?"

"In the cadre school, we only get a few meat coupons every month."

Liu Chuan said with a frown.

Just like food coupons, you also need meat coupons to buy meat. Without meat coupons, you can’t buy meat even if you have money.

Today's meal was all spent on the meat coupons Liu Chuan had saved up for a long time, and he also borrowed some from others. Otherwise, it would have been Huang Anping's birthday today, so everyone would have had to eat some peanuts and drink some water as a token of their appreciation.

Don't even think about eating meat.

"I have two ideas: raising rabbits or raising fish!"

Liu Hongyi said confidently.

"Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing!"
