That night, Yu Fengxi was lying on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She thought carefully about it for half the night, and it wasn't until the middle of the night that she fell into a deep sleep.
In a daze, Yu Fengxi suddenly figured it out.
Let him go, just like Lao Jiao said, when it rains, the mother wants to get married. Those who want to leave cannot be stopped, and those who want to stay cannot be driven away.
In fact, Yu Fengxi was completely overthinking.
Li Jie has no plans to leave, at least not now. It is only the late 1950s, and there will be a period of turmoil in the future.
It's certainly better outside, but it's just like fishing. Where there are more catches, there are often stronger winds and waves.
Although Xiaoheishan Island has many inconveniences, there are few people here and there are few things to do. If you stay here, at least you don't have to worry about those strange clouds and waves.
Hide in the small building and become a unified body, caring about winter, summer, spring and autumn.
A quiet life is the best state.
However, Li Jie seemed to have underestimated the patience of his superiors.
A few days later, the young man who was kicked away by him last time came back again and came to Xiaoheishan Island.
On the coast, Li Jie, who was repairing the net, noticed a stranger approaching. When he looked up, he saw that it was Xiao Sun who had been driven away by him.
Li Jie frowned when he saw the other party.
"Why are you here again?"
"Teacher Ouyang, the director asked me to ask you, are you dissatisfied with the way the institute handles the situation?"
Xiao Sun showed a kind smile, came forward, and said in a sincere tone: "If you have any, just say it, and I will definitely convey your opinions to Zhou Suo."
"no comment."
Li Jie replied indifferently, then ignored the other party and concentrated on repairing the fishing net.
Seeing that he was rejected again, there was no trace of impatience on Xiao Sun's face. He was very patient and was famous in the institute.
He is ready for a long game.
Seeing Li Jie concentrating on repairing the net, Xiao Sun couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his eyes.
Those hands shouldn't be used for this.
What 'Teacher Ouyang' sent last time was very important and solved a problem that had been plaguing the '404' Institute for a long time.
Now, Director Zhou is on his way here. It is expected that Director Zhou will be here in three or four days.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon.
"Old Ou, dinner is ready!"
Yang Sanwu stood on the reef not far away and shouted towards the seaside.
As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of doubt appeared on Yang Sanwu's face.
Who is that person standing on the beach?
Wearing a gray tunic suit, a pair of very inappropriate leather shoes on his feet, and a briefcase on his arm.
This kind of dress does not look like someone from the island.
'Is he here to see Lao Ou? '
A few days later, the news of 'Ouyang Yi' being rehabilitated has spread to every corner of Xiaoheishan Island.
Most people think this is the right thing to do.
After all, 'Ouyang' has a brother-in-law of a senior military officer. With such a relationship, redress is not just a matter of words?
"coming."
Li Jie replied, then put down his work, got up and rushed towards the village.
Now they eat in big pots, and every household stops cooking. They all eat in the public canteen in the village, where adults, the elderly, and children can all go.
The format is equivalent to the buffet of later generations. Everyone can eat enough, but they cannot take it home.
Of course, if you don’t like the public cafeteria being poorly cooked, it’s not impossible to start a restaurant on your own. Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away here on Xiaoheishan Island, and many policies are not implemented in place.
Who doesn’t secretly leave some food?
We are all neighbors, more or less related to each other, and no one will report it.
To take a step back, even if you report it, it will be of no use.
Not only will Secretary Jiao not accept the complaint, but he will severely scold the whistleblower.
On the other side, Xiao Sun saw Li Jie leaving the beach, and he quickly followed him, but he didn't follow too close, about ten meters away.
"Who is that person?"
After meeting Yang Sanwu, he turned around and glanced at Xiao Sun, who was following behind, and said curiously.
"Your former colleague?"
"So be it."
Li Jie nodded. Xiao Sun was a member of the institute. Although he entered after him, his organizational connections were still in the institute.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are colleagues.
Yang Sanwu nodded thoughtfully: "He came here to find you?"
Two days ago, Yu Fengxi found Yang Sanwu. She knew that Yang Sanwu had a good relationship with 'Ouyang', so she asked Yang Sanwu to find out.
In fact, Yang Sanwu was also concerned about Li Jie's whereabouts, but the reason for his concern was different from Yu Fengxi's.
He really regarded Li Jie as a friend, and he was not willing to let Li Jie leave.
Because he knew that once Li Jie left, he would most likely never reply.
Of course, if Li Jie really chooses to leave, he won't be too sad.
"Um."
Hearing this answer, Yang Sanwu's heart suddenly darkened.
Although he has not read many books, there is a saying that he has heard: When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places.
Others have traveled thousands of miles to invite 'Ouyang' back, and 'Ouyang' must be leaving soon.
However, what Li Jie said next made him feel happy.
"However, I have no plans to leave."
"Um?"
Yang Sanwu paused in his steps and said in a shocked tone.
"You're not leaving?"
"Um."
Li Jie nodded with a smile, and then pointed at the smoke rising in front of him.
"Although Xiaoheishan Island is a little remote, it is far away from the hustle and bustle, and the wind and rain outside will not affect it."
"It feels good to stay here, I like it very much."
Yang Sanwu scratched his head and smiled innocently. He couldn't quite understand what Ouyang meant, but that didn't matter.
The important thing is that friends don't leave.
'Ouyang' will continue to stay here!
This...this is really good news!
At this moment, he couldn't wait to share the news.
In fact, he is not the only one concerned about the whereabouts of 'Ouyang'. During the time when 'Ouyang' was here, the fish catch on the island increased by two or three levels.
This is all the credit of 'Ouyang'.
In the past, although every household was not very hungry, they also did not have enough to eat.
Since Ouyang joined the fishing team, every household has enough to eat.
Having enough to eat was only the minimum living requirement in future generations, but now it is a very luxurious thing.
The people on the island don't care what Ouyang did before. They only know that as long as Ouyang is around, they can fill their stomachs.
Like Yang Sanwu and Yu Fengxi, they were unwilling to leave Ouyang.
But they are too embarrassed to come directly and stay on the island to fish. What future can they have?
The villagers themselves didn't even think about this kind of life that they could see all the way to the end. How could they have the shame to force "Ouyang" to stay?
They don’t belong here either.
The city is where people should go.
