Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Nian Yuping and his wife Lin Meng wanted to marry Nian Lin off, but the plan was aborted before it could be implemented. With the old man's protection, Nian Lin could choose her own life.

However, the Liang family was still putting pressure on a small section chief in Changyun County. After hanging up the phone, the section chief felt that he had been insulted and paid more attention to the matter.

The Huaiyin Brigade had telephone lines and installed telephones, and the brigade members and educated youth could borrow them from the brigade headquarters for only ten cents a time.

The price was not high, so Liang Jin could naturally afford it. Liang Jin, who was eager to return to the city, made a phone call back to Beijing.

When he learned that his return to the city had already been processed and it was just the team that refused to approve it, even the best-tempered person couldn't smile.

The person in charge of collecting fees and guarding the phone looked at Liang Jin again. He had seen many educated youths calling home, and all of them had smiling faces. Liang Jin was the first one with a frown on his face.

"Son, did you offend your brigade cadres? Your family sent you some things, take them and take them out."

Lin Yin only regretted that when she went to Huaiyin Brigade to see her son, she didn't think of getting in touch with the cadres of Huaiyin Brigade, so that her son wouldn't be blocked from moving his household registration back to the city.

Time cannot go back. Even if it could, Lin Yin probably wouldn't bother to associate with those peasants whom she looked down upon.

Liang Jin knew that he was not liked by the brigade cadres because of Tan Yuan. He could imagine that Tan Yuan must have said a lot of bad things about him in the brigade because of love turning into hate.

And there was Luo Linlin. Ever since Luo Linlin went to work as a salesperson in the county store, she had been like a stranger to him. Liang Jin became even more certain that all this was Tan Yuan's doing.

Women are short-sighted, Luo Linlin is, and Tan Yuan is even more so. Liang Jin really wants to see how these people look when they see the news of his return to the city. The plot of being slapped in the face currently only exists in Liang Jin's mind.

But one day it will come true, Liang Jin never doubted it. When the postman delivered the things to the brigade, Liang Jin went to the brigade headquarters to pick them up as soon as possible.

What the Liang family sent to Liang Jin was different from what Tian Cuiying's family sent. Tian Cuiying's family was worried that their children would not have enough food and drink in the brigade, so every time they sent something, it was food. The Liang family was generous and directly sent money and tickets, and even specially exchanged the tickets for national food coupons.

Huaiyin Brigade was originally short of food, but the province approved a batch of food for them, and there were also sweet potatoes that Tan Yuan and her friends found in the mountains. Later, there was a tofu factory, which was profitable, so it was even less likely to be short of food.

Liang Jin kept the food coupons and could take out some of the money appropriately. He didn't believe that there would be anyone who didn't like this new great unity.

If it were when he first went to the countryside, Liang Jin would definitely choose to make trouble at the brigade headquarters, but now he has been beaten for several months. The initial letter of complaint and even the later report to the reporter have all been ignored. The letter of complaint almost got him involved, so he now only dares to use his left hand when signing.

Liang Jin was also feeling uneasy. He could only believe that the new Party Secretary Zhou in Huaiyin had a powerful backer, so he dared to go against his family and refused to sign and stamp the document to let him return to the city. He did not dare to confront Zhou Zhigang head-on and could only use a soft approach.

What Liang Jin thought was indeed correct. Zhou Zhigang had backers and many comrades-in-arms, including those in Changyun County, the city, and the province. However, since he did not sign to allow Liang Jin to return to the city, he really did not need those backers.

Liang Jin took the money and tried to get in through the back door, which made Zhou Zhigang's already bad impression of him even worse.

"Are you a capitalist tail? Do you want to corrupt the will and soul of state officials?"

A light sentence was like a huge hat hanging over Liang Jin's head, making him breathless.

This is too serious. If he is caught by someone with ulterior motives, he will be sent to a farm for reformation, and it will even be recorded in his file.

Liang Jin was so scared that he quickly put the Great Unity into his pocket and wished he had never appeared in the brigade headquarters.

Zhou Zhigang only looked up after the door was closed and shook his head: "No future."

He was scared to death before he could even say anything. If he were thrown onto a battlefield, he would probably have raised the white flag and surrendered before the other side even fired a shot.

Zhou Zhigang looked down on men like Liang Jin, who was not outstanding enough and was aloof. He looked decent, but was actually a piece of silver and tin gun inside, and could only please female comrades who were not very smart.

"Ah!"

Zhao Yang sneezed and wondered if he had a cold. He thought about writing a letter home after work and asking them to send him some cotton clothes.

Zhao Yang knew that there was no hope of returning to the city in the short term, and he had already started planning how to spend the winter.

Shu is different from Beijing. There are no kangs here. When it gets cold in the winter, the quilt won't warm up even after a night of sleeping. It's damp and uncomfortable. I didn't expect this when I first came here. I thought I had brought enough winter clothes, but after washing them, they wouldn't dry at all and couldn't be worn...

Tan Yuan was holding a meeting at the commune. The commune wanted the tofu factory to donate money and grain to other brigades in the commune that were severely affected by the disaster and were living in difficult conditions.

Huaiyin Brigade should have been included in the scope of donations, but since Huaiyin Brigade is now in better conditions, Tan Yuan doesn't think there is anything wrong with donating some money. She can put up a sign at the door of the store later, and maybe the business will get better.

We can also invite reporters to come and interview and report on the matter. It would be best if reporters from the province could come as well. As long as it can be published in the provincial newspaper, it means that people all over Shu can see it. This will be of great help to the food factory in opening up sales channels, especially since they are now planning to develop new products.

The city's newspaper came uninvited, which brought about a significant follow-up impact. The brigade's food factory has already received many orders from other counties and the city. Tan Yuan tasted the sweetness and naturally wanted to replicate it.

Secretary Qian was speechless. He knew exactly what was going on with the city newspapers. It was all thanks to the help of the county leaders. But the provincial newspapers? The leaders were no match for them either!

"Secretary, you haven't even mentioned this to the county yet. How do you know it won't work? Everything depends on human effort. Besides, if our food factory develops well, people all over the country will know about it, eat our products, and know about Changyun County. The county leaders will definitely be happy too. The city might even commend the county leaders. How could they forget you?"

Tan Yuan had no idea that she was making things difficult for others. Instead, she painted a rosy picture for the county leaders from a distance.

Secretary Qian was given a piece of the pancake at the end. Before Secretary Qian had time to eat lunch, he felt very full.

The scene before him made Secretary Qian seem to be back to a few months ago.
