Xinlan walked back, thinking about what her father said, and inadvertently remembered the Educated Youth Office. I haven't been there for a long time, so there shouldn't be any changes! She thought nonsense in her heart, blaming herself for being negligent and omitting such a critical link, considering that she didn't know if it would affect her relocation, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

As the saying goes, there is nothing in your heart and you are light. Now Xinlan has this matter on her heart, and she can't settle down to do business anymore. After thinking about it, she felt that this matter was a big deal, if she didn't go on a trip to understand the situation, according to her temperament, she couldn't do everything in the future, let alone sit here and do business with peace of mind. She hesitated for a while and decided to wait until the afternoon when she went to work to see the situation.

In this way, Xinlan ate some leftovers indiscriminately according to her mood, and then waited for time with all her heart. But who knew that the wind in the afternoon was blowing stronger and stronger, and she was upset by the 'whirring'. This made her a little uncertain in her heart, such a strong wind is blowing, go now, will there be anyone in the Youth Office? But turn your head and think about what if you don't go? I'm afraid that it will be difficult to calm down at night, let alone sleep. Xinlan was afraid of insomnia, she didn't want to affect herself with this thought.

Of course, there is another main reason that affects Xinlan to go to the Educated Youth Office, that is, Director Zhou of the Educated Youth Office is Xinlan's hometown. In fact, to be exact, it should be Fusheng's fellow villagers, all of whom are from the Central Plains. Xinlan remembers that when she first came to do the relocation, she once talked to him, and the impression left was very easy-going, especially what he said after knowing that He Fusheng was a fellow countryman, which made people feel that he was a person who paid attention to the friendship of his fellow countrymen, which made Xinlan not feel nervous, and did not have the kind of restraint when she met Director Fan. She hoped to get accurate news from him so that she could fulfill her wish as soon as possible, so she made up her mind to go to the Educated Youth Office in the afternoon, not to mention the wind, rain and hail.

Xinlan made up her mind to do it, and naturally it had to be done. Before leaving, she went to buy two packs of good cigarettes and came back, and put melon seeds and peanuts in her pocket. But what she didn't expect was that when she saw that the time was up to work, she took a car to the Educated Youth Office against the wind, and what she saw made her worried. The lively scene when I came to do my errands disappeared and was replaced by a deserted scene.

Seeing this situation, Xinlan was a little flustered. She was stunned for a moment, and after she came to her senses, she felt in her heart that it was impossible for such an educated youth office to withdraw just like withdraw, there must be some reason. Thinking like this, he walked over and leaned on the window of the office he had been to last time to look, but a short voice came from behind him: "Catch the thief!" ”

Xinlan was concentrating on the situation in the window, and she was defenseless at all, when a sound came, which scared her. She hurriedly turned around, but saw a white-haired old man standing not far behind her with a broom, smiling and waiting to see his appearance. Xinlan knew that he was joking but couldn't figure out his identity, and she felt that he should be the janitor from his actions just now, as well as his age and dress. So he hurriedly laughed and accosted: "Master, hello! I'm not a thief! I'm here to do something. After speaking, he took two steps forward, paused and asked: "Master, please ask you something, why did you come to this point, why don't you see anyone at work in this educated youth office?" ”

The old man said, "It's going to be withdrawn!" Otherwise, I'd say that when you're in the window? ”

When Xinlan heard this, she immediately panicked. , busy and asked, "Why did you want to withdraw?" The business of our educated youth is not finished yet, why do we want to withdraw!? ”

The old man listened, and continued: "It seems that a large number of them have been handled almost over, and there is no need to set up departments sporadically in the future, so it will naturally be merged into the Labor and Personnel Bureau. ”

After listening to the old man's words, Xinlan was suddenly depressed, and she was still holding on to hope, hoping to get help from her fellow villagers, but now she ...... Xinlan felt so helpless, she didn't know whether to leave or not, and asked again after hesitation: "They merged, are they already working over there?" ”

The old man said: "It's handover, if it's over, I'll definitely work elsewhere, but I often come over to deal with this side in the afternoon these days." ”

When Xinlan heard the old man say this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in her heart. Oh, yes! There is not much time left for me to do things, maybe after a few days, after the handover of the Educated Youth Office, I will be equivalent to running in vain, in case there is a change in the policy, it will be completely over! Not to mention what fellow director Zhou is counting on! But if they wait here, maybe they will come to work in the afternoon, and it will be clear what they should do next! She hesitated, she felt that she shouldn't go, she should stay here, just if she could wait to see Fusheng's fellow countryman!

Xinlan made up her mind and decided to wait here to the death, treating her fellow villagers as a life-saving straw and waiting as the only way to change. Thinking like this, he went to the old man and said, "Master, they will come in the afternoon according to your meaning, then I will wait here, in case they come, I will not run in vain, but I have to disturb you here for a while!" ”

When the old man heard this, he said, "Go to the guard's house and wait, the wind is so strong outside, there is no place to sit when it blows over, let alone you are a woman's house!" As he spoke, he opened the guard's room.

Xinlan felt that the old man was a warm-hearted person, so she followed him into the house, and when she sat on the bench at the door, she politely thanked him.

When the old man heard this, he didn't care, and continued: "Isn't it to pick this weather to do things?" The Educated Youth Office was set up at the beginning of last year, and it has been almost two years! It's almost time to do the relocation, why have you delayed it until now? ”

When Xinlan heard this, she couldn't help but let out a long breath and said, "Alas! My parents here are old, not easy to go out, we went to the countryside when we dragged the family away, there is no one here, so I have to believe it late, this knows that when I come back to do the relocation, and because there is no place to settle here, or a big family, the original unit has been merged again, these reasons are squeezed together, so it has been delayed and can't be done, I'm about to die of worry! ”

The old man listened and said: "This time the state has come out with this policy, which is a good solution to this group of intellectual young people who have left their hometowns, but this time, I found that many people who have already started a family in the countryside cannot return to the city!" Although your situation is different, but the unit is gone, it will definitely be affected! After the old man finished speaking slowly, he suddenly asked as if he remembered something: "Then didn't you report this situation to the leaders of the Educated Youth Office?" ”

Xinlan said: "I have reflected! But I didn't ask again, so I delayed, and I blamed me, and I was only busy with other things! ”

The old man said: "If this is the case, don't dare to delay!" But at this point, you can ask the Youth Office to ventilate your original unit, as long as it doesn't violate the policy, it should work. I've been guarding the door here for so long, and I've seen some people who have been married in the local area and have disabilities and need to be taken care of, and there are some other reasons that can't be settled, and in the end, they are all helped and coordinated by the Educated Youth Office! ”

Listening to the old man's words, Xinlan suddenly sobered up a lot. She felt that what the old man said made sense, so she regretted that she had come too little and knew too little, so she strengthened her determination to wait, and said in her heart, even if she couldn't wait for someone today, she couldn't miss this last opportunity if she came again on a cloudy day.

The waiting time is long, let alone Xinlan, who is single-minded, but what can be done! Xinlan pressed her mood, calmed down, gossiped with the old man here, and inquired about some things about the return by the way, killing time.

As the so-called hard work pays off, just like that, it took the second half of the day, and finally waited for Director Zhou and the two clerks of the Educated Youth Office to come back together, which made Xinlan excited, she waited for Director Zhou to enter the office, and she was busy expressing her gratitude to the old man, while saying goodbye to the old man and walking out of the house, and came to the office of the Educated Youth to greet Director Zhou.

Director Zhou had seen Xinlan twice, and as soon as he heard the voice, he remembered that it was half of the villager who came to do the relocation, so he didn't wait for Xinlan to say what he meant, and asked Xinlan first: "Fellow, has your relocation been done?" I'm going to withdraw here. ”

Xinlan couldn't wait to tell her own situation earlier, she was thinking about how to speak, and listened to him ask, so she told her about the difficulties she encountered in handling it, and after speaking, she didn't know if she thought of her own difficulties, Xinlan felt uncomfortable and said: "Fellow, I don't know what to do now, I can't go home and go back, the family is looking forward to me being able to do this, and I'm here every day for a living, working two jobs, going to the restaurant in the dark in the early morning, and working in the commissary during the day, in order to save money, Every day, I eat leftovers from other people brought back from the restaurant, and I'm really afraid of other people's jokes when I say it, but what should I do if I don't do it!? The children in the family are older, and the cost is more, and it is time to join the work soon. Xinlan said, her tone revealing relatives.

Director Zhou listened, thought in his heart and said: "The national policy has been down for so long, if it should have been done a long time ago, your situation is one is that the two factories are afraid of taking responsibility, and the other is afraid of increasing the burden on the factory, in fact, their worries are completely unnecessary, there is an agreement between the two factories below, whose person is who's person, and there is national policy support above, what else can not be done?" Otherwise, just a few days before the handover here, there is a system summary meeting, and then I will send a letter to these two factories in advance, so that the leaders in charge of them can participate, and by the way, discuss this matter at your home! Director Zhou said casually.

It seemed to be a light and breezy paragraph, Xinlan listened to it, and was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She said incoherently: "Fellow, Director Zhou, it would be great if you could gather these two factories together!" My business is much easier. You know, I'm a flat-headed person, just run many times, and it is really difficult to get the supervisors and leaders of the two factories to gather together for my business! Say it! How can I thank you!? ”

Director Zhou said, "Thank you for what!?" This is originally required by the national policy, and you haven't done it yet, and some of our departments have not done enough! It is good that these troublemakers should also go down and get some education! ”

Hearing him say this, Xinlan felt hope in her heart, she was afraid that Director Zhou was not familiar with her situation, so she continued: "Actually, I have gone to look for these two factories, according to their original agreement, our family should be accepted by the second factory, and I also went to the countryside here in the original second factory, and the original house is also here in the second factory, just because my child is gone, I cut off the roots here." During this time, I have been running here in the second factory, but they Fan factory director promised not to do it, and had to wait for the third factory to meet, you say that you are not angry! Xinlan didn't want to think about it in her heart, and she felt sad when she mentioned the child, but she was the key thing today, and she had to endure the pain in her heart and talk about her situation, and she couldn't help but get angry again.

Seeing Xinlan like this, Director Zhou went to get a pen, asked Xinlan again, and recorded the year of going to the countryside and the specific dispatch unit in detail in the record book, and then said: "We are about to complete the withdrawal and merger here, and the Educated Youth Office will be managed by the Labor Bureau in the future!" If everything about you is true, you can find it in the archives, and I will check it as soon as I go back, and I will say it when I summarize it at the meeting. You go back to the unit and run around again, don't delay. Educated youths have been going to the countryside since five years, and there must be problems that have not been solved, but it will inevitably take some trouble to change departments, whether it is you or the unit. ”

Director Zhou's words Xinlan could hear that it was for her own good and for her own sake, and she was very grateful, but she was still afraid that she was not thinking well, and she was afraid that if she went back, she would not be able to deal with any problems, so she asked again: "Fellow, after this merger, will you be transferred!" Mind this? ”

Director Zhou knew what she was thinking, and said, "I won't be transferred, and I'm still working here, but this matter will be under the management of the Labor Bureau in the future, and we may not necessarily go over." So you go back and hold on! All right!? I won't talk about the rest, fellow! I'm too busy to accompany you. ”

Obedient and obedient, Xinlan knew that Director Zhou was busy with other things, and it was inconvenient for her to stay any longer. She thought in her heart, feeling that she hadn't run in vain after all, not only did she learn about the situation from her fellow countryman, but more importantly, she said that she would speak for her own affairs at the summary meeting, which made Xinlan see hope, and she felt that her opportunity had finally come! Thinking like this, he went over and poured the tobacco melon seeds and peanuts he brought on the table, and no matter what the director said, he took his leave.
