Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

If you accidentally bite your teeth, that would be a real joke.

I returned home absentmindedly, and as soon as I opened the door, I found the house full of people.

“You’re back. Dad, Mom, Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fourth Aunt are all here. They say they need to talk to you.”

His wife pulled him over to the person and explained the situation to him.

With this commotion today, something big must have happened.

However, she wasn't in a hurry to find out; good things and bad things are inevitable.

If they come knocking, we'll just have to accept it.

"Haohao, that's what your boss said."

The mother spoke first, her eyes filled with questions.

"The leader said I should go to the county, but he hasn't said anything about the specific arrangements yet." Zhu Hao picked up a small stool and sat down.

"Is it the county leadership team?"

Seeing him nod, the mother pondered and said, "That's a division-level position, that's quite a starting point!"

“It’s not low, but our Xiao Hao is so outstanding, so this arrangement is only right,” the uncle said bluntly.

Third Uncle glanced at Eldest Brother and said sarcastically, "There's no such thing as 'should' or 'shouldn't'; it's just that his superiors value him."

“Yes… Third Brother is right.” Fourth Aunt nodded in agreement, then asked, “Then, should we look for someone?”

When asked to reveal her true intentions, everyone fell silent.

Whether or not to ask someone to step in is something you should think carefully about.

The minister assigned Hao Hao a job because he trusted and valued him.

There's a saying that goes, "Go wherever your boss tells you to go, that's the right thing to do."

If family members interfere, it's tantamount to telling the leader, "We're not satisfied with your arrangements, so we're using family connections to get involved. You can leave us alone from now on."

Doing this would be tantamount to severing his relationship and connection with his superiors.

"Haohao, what do you think?" The person in question was right in front of him, so the uncle felt it was best to ask him.

How the leader treats him, how they talk to him, what his true nature is, and where he might be sent.

Who could possibly understand these things more thoroughly than him, the person directly involved?

"I think... you guys should just leave it alone. The boss won't treat me unfairly, but he's a person who likes to get things done."

If it's a full-time position, it'll definitely be in a less developed region, where you'll be fighting a tough battle. A deputy position might be easier, but there will likely be less room for advancement and less opportunity for future connections.

After hearing his analysis, everyone weighed the pros and cons in their minds.

In the end, we decided to respect his wishes.

Regardless, the Zhu family still has its foundation; if he is truly outstanding, the leadership will definitely entrust him with important responsibilities.

They weren't worried about that. Their concern was that he might be assigned to a class that was too far away or too remote, and that he might not achieve anything and be forgotten.

Since he's confident, let him do it.

Anyway, it's the prime of life, so even if we don't achieve anything, it's not too late to change direction later.

Chapter 703 The location was decided, and they personally escorted each other.

Zhu Hao's transfer to the countryside was handled quickly and smoothly.

He is a college student himself, with excellent personal qualities, a good family background, and can withstand the test.

Having worked in the Ministry of Works for so many years, although he lacked grassroots experience, his resume was still extremely impressive.

Therefore, the Ministry of Personnel did not deliberately obstruct his application and approved it directly.

However, a minor dispute arose within the Ministry of Personnel regarding the arrangement of where to go.

The higher-ups all cherish talent; once they discover such a promising young talent, no one wants to let him go easily.

Several comrades suggested that he should be sent to the south.

Young people learn quickly and keep up with the times. Sending them south to gain experience will definitely make them excellent at managing the economy in the future.

But Yang Jianguo's opinion was to send him to the east or the west.

You either go to the black soil region or the yellow soil region.

Moreover, he should be sent to a county-level city with a harsh environment to be properly trained.

The idea itself is fine, but I'm worried about ruining someone's health and causing them to waste time.

This kind of thing has happened before; some bright students couldn't handle the pressure and almost broke down.

In impoverished areas, it's not just that there are difficulties in one aspect; it's that every step is fraught with pitfalls, and every place is difficult.

They had no money, no manpower, no resources, and no competitiveness; they couldn't even guarantee basic water and electricity.

Not to mention pursuing development and boosting the economy.

If you send someone to a place like this, what kind of achievements can they possibly make?

Finally, the office called and asked Wu Mei: "Secretary Wu, please give us a straight answer, what exactly is the leader thinking?"

"No pain, no gain. Only by enduring hardship can one shoulder responsibilities, right?"

I don't know what the leaders are thinking; I only know that they always let results speak for themselves.

With Wu Mei's words, the matter was considered settled.

It sounds like the leader has high expectations for Zhu Hao!

He was likely to be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future, and the Zhu family did not intervene to plead for him or use their connections to make special arrangements for him.

Even those who took the initiative to inquire were silenced by his words.

So, we did as he said.

Perhaps this was a result agreed upon by them and the Zhu family.

If they take it upon themselves to make arrangements for others, they might end up making things worse, failing to curry favor and offending the person instead.

That would truly be a double loss.

"Xiao Zhu, your arrangements are finalized." The day before he left, Yang Jianguo called Zhu Hao to his side.

Qin Chuanbei, an old revolutionary base area, where he served as acting secretary.

"Boss, thank you for your trust and high regard for me. I will definitely not let you down."

Zhu Hao held the notice, his face full of enthusiasm and high spirits.

Seeing his overjoyed expression, Yang Jianguo had to pour cold water on his enthusiasm.

"In this old place, the thinking is relatively backward, some old problems still exist, and localism is very stubborn."

You were parachuted in; whether you can be successfully elected and gain control of the situation depends entirely on your own efforts.

"There are quite a few veteran comrades over there, and the involvement from all sides makes it a complete mess. When doing things, you must think twice before you act."

Of course, every disadvantage has its advantages.

Going back to the old base and becoming a supervisor is like having a golden resume, truly gilded.

As long as you do your job well and deliver a satisfactory result, your future prospects are limitless.

"I know, boss."

Zhu Hao looked at him solemnly, bowed, and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down."

"Alright, go back and pack your things. We'll set off together tomorrow. I'm going to Chang'an too."

I got home early from get off work, and as soon as my wife saw it was me, she clutched the apron in her arms and asked, "Did you decide?"

"It's settled." Zhu Hao said excitedly, "Our old base, we're leaving tomorrow."

The smile on the daughter-in-law's face froze. "Ah, you're leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, the leader is going to Chang'an, so we can go together."

Seeing him hurriedly packing his luggage, his wife said reluctantly, "Can't you wait a few more days?"

Zhu Hao turned around and laughed, scolding, "You're really stupid. Does the leader really have to go to Chang'an first?"

"There are so many places to inspect, but they chose Chang'an instead of the two rivers region... This is like sending me there to make a grand entrance!"

He told her that, and his wife understood.

"That can't be delayed. Your boss is really good to you," his wife said enviously.

"Of course, I must achieve something this time and not let down the leaders' trust."

……

After a night of thunder and rain, Zhu Hao got up in the morning, supporting his back.

Knowing he was leaving, the woman went crazy and tormented him all night.

I almost collapsed in bed and couldn't get up.

Fortunately, I am still in good health, otherwise it would have caused serious problems.

After placing his pre-packed luggage at the door, Zhu Hao tidied himself up.

The leader personally escorted him to his post; he couldn't let the leader lose face.

After about an hour of fussing, I finally managed to get myself clean and presentable.

"Dinner's ready, come and eat!" His wife brought the cooked food to the table and prepared other things for him.

I don't know if they'll be used to the food in the west. It's hard to bring other things, but I can always take a few extra jars of pickled vegetables from home.

If you can't finish it yourself, it's good to give it to your colleagues as a favor.

At the same time, Yang Jianguo was also listening to the two women chattering on and on at the dinner table.

"Dad, you've been gone for more than half a year. Does that mean you won't be able to come back when I give birth?"

"Exactly, your dad had to pick this time to leave. He really knows how to choose a day."

Yang Jianguo was also helpless; he had really forgotten about this.

I was angry at the time and focused on rectifying the atmosphere, so I didn't realize my daughter was about to give birth.

"It was my oversight... I'll try my best to get back."

"Alright, don't worry about it. You'll have plenty of time to look after the baby is born."

Yang Zhiyi stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, "Well, what can I do? I have such good parents!"

Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Yang Jianguo also made a promise: "I will definitely come back before the Chinese New Year."

As he boarded the luxury carriage, Yang Jianguo looked out the window at the figures of relatives and friends seeing off on the platform.

For a moment, I felt quite envious.

Like him and Zhu Hao, they were both alone and no one came to see them off.

Even if it's something you asked for yourself, you'll still feel a little disappointed.

However, it only lasted for a short time.

It touched my heart for a moment, and then it was over.

"Since we have some free time on the way, I'll tell you about the general situation in Qin Chuan, so you won't be completely clueless when you get there."

"Thank you, leader." Zhu Hao took out paper and pen, his expression solemn as he prepared to take notes.

The next second, Yang Jianguo placed his hand on the notebook.

"It's better to keep things quiet behind closed doors and not make them public."

Zhu Hao paused for a moment, then nodded and put away his notebook.

It seems the situation in his old base area is more complicated than he thought!
