A professor's rebirth: I entered Tsinghua University in 1977.

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 a pang of heartache and said, "Xiaoyu, you don't need to be so cautious. All of this will eventually pass. Things will get better and better from now on. Once Uncle Ai's policies are implemented and he's reinstated, no one will be able to hurt 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 simply going to Yanggou Farm to participate in labor. The resistance to implementing the policy was not yet significant.

If higher-level leaders see their letters and, by chance, the local area needs an experienced and responsible cadre, they might implement the policy ahead of schedule.

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 brightened, and her eyes shone with hope.

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

Liu Hongyi said with firm confidence.

"Besides, you're on the farm now, with my parents looking after you. No one can do anything to you, so you don't need to be afraid. And I'm at Factory 576 for the time being, which will probably take 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 Farm, about 30 kilometers by road.

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

Ai Xiaoyu nodded first, then said worriedly, "But I heard that someone is reporting to the regional leaders that Uncle Liu is raising rabbits, fish, and growing mushrooms on the farm, which is a product of the theory of productive forces... What if the regional 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 truly collapse, and she won't know how to face it.

Liu Hongyi remained calm and said, "I considered these issues when I first made this suggestion. Although some people will still make an issue of this, there's no need to worry too much."

"It won't be too severe; at most, they'll have to write a self-criticism, and at worst, they'll be disciplined 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."

There are problems now, but what about in a few years?

Will those old leaders who received Liu Chuan’s care and attention think that this is a stain on Liu Chuan after they are reinstated?

On the contrary, it is a "medal"!

This is clear evidence of their courage to uphold principles and their care and concern for their comrades.

Although Ai Xiaoyu didn't quite understand, she now admired Liu Hongyi from the bottom of her heart. She felt that as long as Liu Hongyi said it, it must make sense. She immediately became happy again and walked a little lighter.

"Liu... Hongyi, how did you improve so quickly? You know so much... even about cannons."

Is this something a high school student should understand?

Ai Xiaoyu found everything that had happened to Liu Hongyi unbelievable. She had been Liu Hongyi's classmate for a year or two, so how come she hadn't noticed how capable he was before?

Liu Hongyi smiled slightly and said, "It's mainly because Teacher Tan teaches seriously."

Teacher Tan is so nice. Not only can he teach me knowledge, but he is also the best "shield".

Tan Dexi is so great, isn't it natural that the students he teaches are a little bit better?

The two walked slowly in the factory area, and from time to time someone would look at them in surprise.

Liu Hongyi naturally ignored her and introduced some of the factory's buildings and history to Ai Xiaoyu.

Factory 576 was built in the mountains, and the scenery in some places was quite beautiful, but it was about to get dark, so there was no time to appreciate it. Ai Xiaoyu's mind was not on this, she thought of a very serious problem.

"Liu Hongyi, are you going to college next year?"

Commander Dong promised personally that he would not lie to anyone.

Next year, Liu Hongyi will leave the Chuzhou region, leaving her all alone on the farm. How will she survive? Most importantly, the gap between her and Liu Hongyi will only widen in the future.

Whenever Ai Xiaoyu thought of this, she felt worried.

Liu Hongyi knew what she was worried about, so he stopped, looked at her, and said seriously, "Xiaoyu, don't worry about this. I think the college entrance examination will resume normally next year or the year after. You're a top student, and with your level of knowledge, it won't be difficult for you to get into university."

"really?"

Ai Xiaoyu looked up at him, her big eyes filled with a dazed look.

When she was alone with Liu Hongyi, she began to no longer deliberately hide her emotions.

"Of course it's true, don't worry."

In front of Ai Xiaoyu, Liu Hongyi didn't mind being a "godfather" occasionally. As long as it could make the little girl feel at ease, that was enough.

Anyway, Ai Xiaoyu would never doubt him.

He is so smart, isn't it natural that his predictions are as accurate as possible?

Sure enough, Ai Xiaoyu's mood immediately brightened, and she began to look forward to the wonderful prospect of studying in the same city as Liu Hongyi after she was admitted to university.
