Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

Lin Zongxuan walked over in the direction of the sound and found that it was indeed Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, the two "natural enemies", who were quarreling fiercely. His driver Zheng Chunlai was trying to persuade them to stop fighting with an embarrassed look on his face, but when he saw him, he ran over as if he had seen a savior.

Lin Zongxuan frowned and asked softly, "What's going on?"

"Director Lin, I just took the gifts you gave me to distribute..." Zheng Chunlai explained somewhat embarrassedly.

As Zheng Chunlai spoke, a trace of helplessness appeared on Lin Zongxuan's face.

It turned out that he had considered that he had not seen these old neighbors for several years, so he specially prepared some dried dates, a specialty of Yi Province, as small gifts, and planned to give some to each family so that everyone could have a taste.

However, he did not expect that Xiao Zheng, who had been with him for two years, had not yet understood the truth that "it is not the lack of gifts that is worrying, but the inequality of gifts". When distributing gifts, Xiao Zheng actually distributed them according to the number of children in each family.

When he arrived at Sha Zhu's house, he saw that they had two children, so he gave them more. This scene happened to be seen by Xu Damao, who had only one child, and of course he felt dissatisfied.

But he didn't dare to lose his temper with Zheng Chunlai, who was brought by Lin Zongxuan personally, so he could only vent his anger on Sha Zhu.

Lin Zongxuan thought for a moment, walked up to Xu Damao, touched his son's head, and asked in a friendly manner: "Hello, young man, what's your name?"

Xu Damao's adopted son looked only about 11 or 12 years old, and he was very timid. He first glanced at his father, and only after getting a response from Xu Damao did he whisper, "My name is Xu Tangshen."

Xu Tangshen? It seems that Xu Damao still misses his short-lived leadership career.

Lin Zongxuan smiled and nodded, then took out a handful of dried dates from Xiao Zheng and put them in Xu Tangshen's hand, then said loudly to the neighbors who were watching the excitement: "I came back in a hurry this time, and I didn't have time to greet all the old neighbors one by one, so I asked one of my juniors to do it. It was my fault for neglecting you all, and I apologize to everyone here first."

Then he looked at the two people who were still looking at each other, and advised in a slightly more serious tone: "Brother Damao, Brother Zhuzi, you are both in your forties, and your children can run around the city. Even if you don't save face for yourself, you should at least set a good example for your children."

As soon as Lin Zhongxuan said this, the two middle-aged men, who were already feeling a little regretful, went down the ladder and were pulled away by their women.

The people who originally didn't even dare to say hello finally got rid of some of their sense of strangeness and gathered around to greet Lin Zongxuan.

Some praised him for his youth and potential, some praised him for his ability to get things done, and some curiously asked him how he had been doing in Yi Province in recent years.

Lin Zongxuan smiled and talked to everyone one by one for a while, then looked at the watch on his hand, with a hint of apology on his face: "Everyone, I have to hurry back here. The meeting can't wait. When I have time, I will have a good chat with you all."

"I'd like to trouble you to take care of my parents. I'd like to thank them in advance."

"Hey, we've been neighbors for decades. Why are you saying this? Just go and do your own thing. I promise that Lao Lin and the others are doing well here."

The person who spoke to him was an old man with wrinkles all over his face that looked like flowers from smiling, and everyone quickly said that it was no problem.

Lin Zongxuan said a few words of thanks to everyone, then called the driver Xiao Zheng and got on the Red Flag car at the gate of the hospital.

Sha Zhu watched them go away, and said in amazement: "It's only been a few years, and the people who used to call you brothers and sisters have special cars to pick you up. Look at Lin Zongxuan's style, he would have been considered a sixth or seventh rank official in the past."

Zhao Xiaoyun, who was standing next to him and holding a child in one hand, curled her lips and said, "Why, do you regret blocking Yu Shui's marriage?"

Sha Zhu couldn't help but touch his head and said with a wry smile: "Not really, Yu Shui is doing well now, and his child is almost old enough to help with cooking. I just feel a little sorry for him."

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that I didn't help him a little more before he became successful. Otherwise, my second son might not have to go to the countryside anymore."

"Look at you! Whether to go to the countryside or not is a policy from above. Can Lin Zongxuan decide? Don't go and make trouble for yourself."

Zhao Xiaoyun snorted in annoyance and pulled the two children home.

Sha Zhu quickly followed up, "I know, I know. I was just saying that, I didn't mean anything else."

As they walked and talked, the topic quickly turned to other things. (The reason I wrote this paragraph is because a friend asked me about the educated youth going to the countryside, so I'll share some knowledge here.

In fact, the slogan of sending educated youth to the countryside has been around since the 50s. In 1962, some people began to propose organizing the movement nationwide. In 1964, the central government set up a special leading group for this purpose.

From 1966, due to certain influences, the college entrance examination was officially suspended. By the end of 1968, in order to better control these young people who could neither go to school nor work, the authorities began to systematically organize educated youth to go to the countryside to work as sent-down youth across the country.

In 1977, the college entrance examination was partially resumed, and in 1980, it was decided that educated youth could officially return to their hometowns. In the ten years in between, millions or even more young people went to the countryside every year. Some later returned to the city, and some settled down there. Of course, Shazhu's family in the article had no idea what would happen in the future.)

,,,,,,

Lin Zongxuan was gone for nearly two days, and when he returned to Hongxing Courtyard, he just happened to catch a big scene in the original play.

Before he came back, the third uncle was chatting with everyone sitting in the earthquake shelter.

"Swallows are afraid of being separated from the flock, and people are afraid of being left behind. Unity is strength, so this time, we should contribute our strength and food, and work together to overcome this small difficulty."

At this moment, the third uncle was learning from the first uncle and wanted to gather all the food in the front yard together to solve everyone's food problem.

But after all, the third uncle did not take the lead in taking out his own grain. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he just wanted to get it for free.

This made everyone a little dissatisfied. A young man holding a child shrugged his shoulders and said with some disdain: "Uncle, as the saying goes, listen to the sound of words and the sound of gongs and drums. You are talking so lively, let me ask, what happened in your family?"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, a chorus of agreement arose from the crowd.

The third uncle was a little embarrassed by the teasing of the crowd, and said softly: "This, isn't the grain store closed? Oh, right, we can let our eldest son pay for our share."
