Huang Xiaohong was stunned when she heard Old Man Xu explain his purpose of visit.
"Sir, what are you talking about? The name of the person you are looking for is Xu Yin? She is from the countryside? Not from the city? Then how did she report to our land reclamation team?"
The reason why the country calls on urban youth to join the land reclamation team is, firstly, to solve the problem of difficulty in finding a job. Secondly, there is land in the countryside, and farmers have no time to cultivate their own fields. How can they travel long distances to the frontier to reclaim land? Isn’t this losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds?
"No wonder Xu Yin is so capable, it turns out..." Huang Xiaohong came back to her senses and suddenly realized.
Before, she had wondered how Xu Yin could do everything, comparable to those old farming masters in Hewozitun. Since she was from the countryside, it made sense!
"How could Xu Yin do this! Even if she wants to join the reclamation team, she has to make decisions on her own without consulting her family! Don't worry, sir. I'll accompany you to find the union leader."
With Huang Xiaohong's enthusiastic help, Mr. Xu met the trade union director of Yuanshan County.
Director Niu is currently receiving comrades from Beiguan Station. The other party came to visit relatives, and along the way he sent a thick letter of praise and good news to the Yuanshan Trade Union.
After reading the letter, Director Niu said with a look of relief: "Comrade Xu Yin, I don't know how much contribution he has made to our county's land reclamation team. My drawer is almost full of letters of commendation. It's a pity that I still haven't received it yet." We haven’t found her family... Look at me, I can’t hold back my words when I mention this, making Comrade Cheng laugh! You’ve worked hard on this journey!”
"Director Niu is welcome." Cheng Shaojin stood up, straightened his clothes, shook hands with Director Niu and said, "The task is completed, it's time for me to leave."
"Have a quick meal before leaving!"
Director Niu enthusiastically persuaded him to stay.
At this time, I heard from the secretary that Xu Yin's family had come to find him. Director Niu was surprised and happy. The person who had not been found for a long time showed up at this juncture? He hurriedly welcomed him out.
"Are you Comrade Xu Yin's father? Nice to meet you!"
"..."
Old man Xu was really flattered when Director Niu held his hand.
"Our family Yin'er..."
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Comrade Xu Yin is fine. She has given face to our Yuanshan County Chief. She has really earned a lot of honors in the land reclamation team these days!"
Huang Xiaohong murmured in a low voice: "She is from a rural area and should not have signed up."
"What?" Director Niu thought he had misheard, "She is from the countryside?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Old Man Xu rubbed his hands and expressed his purpose of coming with a embarrassed look on his face, "...she is the youngest of our family. We didn't discuss it with our family at all before signing up. Now something happened at home and we need her to come back. Look, …”
The union director figured out the whole story and was shocked: "How could..."
But all the fathers are here, how can I still have a holiday?
What's more, the trade union staff went from street to street to inquire, but they really couldn't find "Xu Yin". He was still wondering, why couldn't he find even a living person in this small county town? Gan Bantian was a country girl, and with a passion to contribute to the country's breadbasket, she came to sign up.
The question is, who signed up for her in the first place? Can this all be confused? Confused! So confused!
Cheng Shaojin came out of the union and went straight to her aunt's house.
He came to visit his aunt on behalf of his mother.
"Cousin?" Xu Wenfa came home from get off work. When he saw his cousin, who made the loud-mouthed girl next door instantly turn into a shy little girl every time he came, he happily greeted him, "Long time no see, cousin! What's the matter? Brought you here? How long can you stay this time? Stay with me tonight!"
"Fafa?" Cheng Shaojin raised his eyebrows unexpectedly when he saw him, "Why did I hear my mother say that you signed up for the national reclamation team?"
When Cheng Shaojin's aunt, Xu Wenfa's mother, mentioned this matter, she was angry and funny: "Don't mention it, I just wrote to my eldest sister earlier about this matter, and something happened to his hind legs. On the day the reclamation team set off, he helped an old man to push the car. I took a train all the way, missed the train, and didn't make it! Fortunately, good things come to good people. The old man who got his help has a son who works in a government agency. He helped Fafa get in touch with a job, and he's already done it. It’s been more than half a year.”
"Fortunately, the reclamation team didn't come to investigate, hehe..." Xu Wenfa stuck out his tongue happily.
Cheng Shaojin's expression condensed, and when he contacted the union, he had an idea: "Whose name did Fafa use when he signed up?"
Xu Wenfa looked puzzled: "Who else? Of course myself!"
Cheng Shaojin immediately stood up, straightened his hat and walked out.
"Cousin, where are you going?"
"Shaojin, it's already this hour and you're still going out? If you're busy, why don't you go after dinner."
"I have something urgent to do, so you don't need to wait for me. You can eat first."
Cheng Shaojin came to the union again and explained the situation to Director Niu.
Director Niu suddenly realized: "I'm telling you! When I signed up, I clearly had my household registration checked. How could a country girl show up? It's just a mistake."
Things came to light, and the Xu family urgently needed their daughter to return home. Director Niu, no longer willing to give up on Xu Yin's great achievements, had no choice but to ask Cheng Shaojin to send a letter to Fu Rongxing when he returned to Beiguan, asking Xu Yin to come back early.
On the day Cheng Shaojin left to return to Beiguan, Director Niu came to see her off: "The Xu family came to see me again. This time Xu Yin's mother also came. She said that her family had made an engagement for her earlier, and the man came to remind her. She must come back, otherwise the family will not be able to explain to her relatives. This time, we have to trouble Comrade Cheng to bring the news to Xu Yin himself."
"Definitely." Cheng Shaojin nodded.
But in my heart, I was a little unhappy with Xu Yin, who had only heard his name but never met him.
Without consulting his family, he ran away with the reclamation team, still using his cousin's name;
Secondly, he had a marriage contract with him, but he left irresponsibly and did not leave any news to his family when he arrived. This caused his family to worry and search for him for more than half a year.
With this preconceived unhappiness, Cheng Shaojin embarked on the way back to Beiguan with the letter that Director Niu asked him to deliver.
On the other side, old man Xu, who had returned home, couldn't help complaining to his old wife: "Yin'er didn't even say a word about the engagement. Why did you tell Director Niu? Isn't this lying?"
"Who am I doing for? Me!" Mother Xu pointed at the triplets lying side by side on the kang, waiting for feeding, and said with a cry, "It's not for these three boys! If I don't put it seriously, will Yin'er come back? She If you don't come back, what will happen to these three boys? If you want to go to the ground, how can I take care of it on my own? Besides, the boss's wife is still staring at us. If she turns around and is unhappy, she should say that she doesn't care about us in the future... you treat me Are you willing to lie? After all, it’s not just for this family!”
Old Man Xu sighed deeply: "At this point, I can only hope that Yin'er will come back soon to make up his mind."
