The day after Lu Xiaolan and Yang Jingming divorced, Yang Youping was indeed released.
Along with Yang Youping, he came back with a disciplinary notice. He was given two major demerits and was demoted one level. His position as director was also changed and he became deputy director.
Yang Youping is still satisfied with this result. As long as he is not sentenced, it will not affect his son's future development. He has been at the grain station for so many years, and he has already mastered his skills. From now on, he can just follow the rules.
He is also old and will not be promoted anywhere in his life. He has a job to do. If he can't do it anymore, he can just give the job to his daughter or sell it.
At this time, there is no talk of retirement. Although the country promulgated the "Labor Insurance Regulations" from the beginning, at this time, people all wanted to contribute more to the country and work more, and almost no one thought about retiring and receiving money from the country when they reached old age.
In 1978, after the state promulgated new documents, the first batch of workers who reached the age of retirement were ushered in.
After Yang Youping returned home, he found that the atmosphere at home was obviously not right. His son Yang Jingming did not go to work. He looked like an eggplant beaten by frost. When he saw him back, he was not very happy.
"What's going on?" Yang Youping asked Fang Chunfang after entering the house.
Did his matter affect his son before it was decided?
"He and Lu Xiaolan divorced. He felt unhappy and took a few days off to stay at home." Fang Chunfang said.
Yang Youping was shocked, "Why?"
After he went in, he became more aware of Secretary Geng's abilities. Such relatives need to be well-behaved. How far the son can go in the future will mostly depend on the efforts of the daughter-in-law's natal family.
He knew how much his son was capable. His abilities were mediocre and his courage was not great. If there was no one to pull him out, his achievements in this life would be limited if he relied on himself alone.
He had only been gone for a few days, why was he divorced? Then all his plans will be overthrown.
"You, I've already told you that Xiaolan's family is very powerful and it's good for her son. Why don't you understand?" Yang Youping was furious, thinking that Fang Chunfang had encouraged them to divorce.
"If I hadn't saved you, would I have allowed them to divorce?" Fang Chunfang was also angry.
"Save me?" Yang Youping was even more confused.
Fang Chunfang came to the Lu family and threatened Yang Youping's life, "If I don't agree to divorce, should I ask you to take a bullet?"
Yang Youping was silent after hearing this. His matter should not be so serious, but if Lu Changzheng was determined to mess with him, it was possible. After all, the two people with direct evidence were both sentenced to several years of forced labor.
He was not sure for a moment whether Lu Changzheng had any evidence. No matter how careful he is, there will always be some clues after so many years.
Yang Youping was depressed. Lu Boming was quite famous in Hongqi Commune. He had also heard about his character. It was normal that he couldn't stand such a thing.
At first, he couldn't stand it, but after tasting the benefits a few times, he acquiesced. In a big dye vat, who doesn’t have some color on his body?
"Forget it, take it easy for a while and make plans later. Xiaolan and Jingming still have feelings for each other. They can remarry later when things calm down."
Fang Chunfang sneered, "I think this marriage is what Lu Xiaolan is about to do. People have been wary of us for a long time."
Fang Chunfang told Yang Youping that she had asked Lu Xiaolan to bring gifts to her home several times, but she never brought them.
Yang Youping thought for a while and waved his hand: "Maybe she didn't dare to take it. This Lujiacun is a rural area after all. It's too eye-catching to receive so many gifts again and again."
"You two don't understand women at all. Why are you afraid of being noticed by giving gifts to your parents' family? You wish that more people would know about it, so that it would show that you are living a good life in your husband's family. If she wasn't on guard, why wouldn't she take it every time? ?”
"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. We will know what the situation is later." Yang Youping waved his hand, then lowered his voice and asked, "How much money does our family have now?"
Fang Chunfang gestured with her finger, meaning ten thousand yuan.
Yang Youping nodded, it was similar to what he expected. With this money, his family can live a good life. From now on, my son will have to work hard in his career and be able to make money.
"After hiding the money, I will work steadily from now on. Apart from salary, there will be no other income." Yang Youping said.
"We all need to keep a low profile during this period of time. Keep the remaining gifts for yourself, and don't give any more gifts to Limin. The money dad left for me has been spent almost, and the source will not be there in the future. That’s easy to explain.”
Yang Youping's father was also quite capable. When he passed away, he left him a bankbook worth two thousand dollars. No one except the couple knew about this money.
Over the years, he has occasionally accepted gifts from others and bought some himself from time to time. If this is confused, the source will be difficult to trace.
People in the same boat feel relieved to see him like this. If others want to investigate, he also has a reasonable source.
"What's wrong with Li Min's father-in-law?" Fang Chunfang was a little worried. The Lu family had left, and this was the only one left. It was about to start again, and this one happened again.
Yang Youping waved his hand, "I'm afraid that if I can escape this time, my vitality will be severely damaged."
"Let's live a peaceful life for two years first, and then we can make plans after things calm down."
Fang Chunfang nodded. The old man and his son were both paid, and her family also hid a large amount of money, so their life was very easy.
*******
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Except for being pointed out a few times from time to time, Lu Xiaolan's life was quite easy.
Go to work with Su Mo and get off work together every day. After returning home, we went up to the mountains to harvest the autumn harvest together. The life was not very comfortable at all.
In the past few days, the whole person's complexion has become rosy.
Lu Xiaolan was a little worried at first that Fang Chunfang would come to the supply and marketing cooperative to cause trouble for her, and she had already thought of a countermeasure, but she was stunned that she didn't even see her shadow.
The Yang family was firstly worried about what evidence Lu Changzheng had, secondly they were planning to remarry in the future, and thirdly they wanted to keep a low profile for a while, so no one bothered Lu Xiaolan.
However, Yang Jingming wandered around the door of the supply and marketing cooperative for several days at noon, trying to attract Lu Xiaolan's attention. Seeing that Lu Xiaolan kept ignoring her, he stopped coming again.
During this period of time, Su Mo went up the mountain to harvest the harvest every day. Not only did she pick up a lot of things, but she also absorbed a lot of energy. Her superpowers were almost at the mid-level of the second level.
The seeds of the vegetables left in the experimental plots were mature and harvested. Su Mo handed over half of the project reports and the seeds obtained from the two experimental plots.
This winter, Su Mo planned to study seed production technology, but she didn't know what experimental tools were available now, so she applied and wanted to visit the County Agricultural Research Institute for a few days.
The approval from the superiors was very fast, so Su Mo went to the County Agricultural Research Institute in the past two days.
On this day, when Su Mo got off work, she took a shortcut because she wanted to go back early so that she could go up the mountain to harvest the autumn harvest.
While passing by a somewhat remote section of road, Su Mo saw a sneaky woman entering a small courtyard that looked quite deserted.
Su Mo had also met this woman, Liu Ping, whom Lu Changzheng almost went to see.
