"As long as you can, why did you still be laid off a few years ago," the old lady said with a strong mouth, and the old man shouted at a glance.

The old man was the first to argue, "I am in favor of national reform,"

"The reform of the fart," the old lady pouted, "and only you people will be so lacking in heart, when you were young, you worked hard for the factory day and night without asking for anything in return, and when you are older, it is useless, and you will be sent away in a word, supporting the national reform, so why don't other people be laid off, just let you, who have been in the party for decades, be laid off as a national sixth-level technician,"

The old man's face was flushed, and he was panting with anger, but he couldn't say a word, Lin Chendui looked a little unbearable, so he said: "Auntie, in fact, you can't say that, if there is no uncle and their previous efforts and dedication, there will be no life we have today, and laid-off is also the pain of reform and opening up, although in some places, there are indeed many problems in the reform of state-owned enterprises, but it can't completely deny everything, for the sacrifice they made, We should respect and be grateful,"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, but the old man smiled, patted Lin Chendu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Hehe, Xiaolin still understands us, we have been party members for decades, and we are advanced every year, this young man has not smeared the party, and this old man can't drag the back of the factory, so ah, when the factory just said that for the development and survival of the factory, it was necessary to lay off and divert some personnel, and I was the first to sign up,"

Lin Chenwan couldn't help but look at the old man with some reverence, in this materialistic era, it is true that there is no such simple person as the old man, but this kind of person often lives at the bottom of society, and his living conditions are not satisfactory.

The old lady complained: "You are good, just earning performance outside, I don't think about it, how heavy the burden is in the house after being laid off, at that time the eldest girl had just got married, and the girl was still in school, if it weren't for the help of my mother's family, she would have starved to death, and then the eldest girl was also laid off, I asked you to find the factory, see if you can take care of it, let the eldest girl go to work in your factory, but you refused at once, the eldest girl and they still had a child in those two years, how did the life pass, why don't you think about it,"

A trace of guilt flashed in the old man's eyes, but his mouth shouted: "Is it that our family is in difficulty, we are a family of party members, and we must set an example,"

"What kind of example do you have to set an example when you can't even afford to eat," the old lady said reluctantly: "You have set an example, but you see that your director Zhu is full of oil, fat head and big ears, his wife wears gold and silver all day long, and sits in a car when she goes in and out, didn't he still be your apprentice before, but you see that he is now celebrating the New Year, and he has not come to see you,"

The old man had a black face, and did not speak, but drank one sip of water.

After taunting the old man a few more words, the old lady said to Lin Chenwan a little embarrassed: "Hehe, Xiaolin, I'm sorry, we're used to being noisy at home, so I don't scare you,"

"No," Lin Chenwan said with a smile: "It's quite lively, it feels very warm," this is not a polite remark, he has no father since he was a child, and his mother depends on each other, and the family is very deserted, and he is most envious of those big families who talk and laugh, and are lively.

The old lady smiled very satisfied, looked at Lin Chenwan with a smile and asked, "Xiaolin, it doesn't matter what kind of provincial party committee you are or the provincial party committee of the Youth League, you must be very good, what do you do at work on weekdays?"

Lin Chenwan smiled at the old lady and said, "Auntie, in fact, our job is very simple, that is, we are responsible for organizing and guiding the work of young people, such as guiding all localities to carry out a wide range of youth theoretical arming projects, studying and analyzing the ideological dynamics of young people, and guiding various localities to carry out healthy and beneficial cultural and sports activities for young people, and so on."

The old lady heard it a little foggy.

Feng Qi seemed to be afraid that his parents would despise Lin Chendui's work, so he hurriedly explained: "Senior Lin, their work is very important, including all our college students, all of them are under their control, and some time ago, there was a very lively '10,000 college students into 10,000 villages' activity in various places, have you heard of it,"

The old lady seemed a little dazed, but the old man said with some surprise: "Is it the one who is similar to going up the mountain to the countryside?"

"Go up the mountain and go to the countryside," the old lady said when she heard this, "what years have you been here, why are you still doing this?"

"What's wrong with this," the old man was a little unconvinced, and shouted: "I see, today's young people lack the need to go to the countryside to exercise well, and they can't endure any hardship, how can they shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country's prosperity in the future, or Chairman Mao and his old man are wise and far-sighted,"

"Dad, this is not the same as going to the mountains and going to the countryside in those years," Feng Qi was afraid that the two old men would argue again, so he said: "This '10,000 college students into 10,000 villages' activity is the principle of college students volunteering, using the winter and summer vacations to go to the countryside for research and exercise, and then go back to school after the school starts,"

"That's not thorough at all, it's still a superficial work, or to eat and live with the peasants, work for a few years, then you can get real exercise, think about us, that's ......" The old man began to reminisce about the days when he went to the mountains and went to the countryside.

Feng Qi handed Lin Chenwan a helpless expression, it seems, they have not heard the old man mention these old things, but Lin Chenwan also knows that what the old man said is indeed the truth, the "10,000 college students into 10,000 villages" activity led by him seems quite new at present, but in fact, it only touches the surface of many things, but in this era, it is not realistic to really engage in a vigorous movement to go to the mountains and go to the countryside like at the beginning.

Hearing the old man talk about the original incident with relish again, the old lady gave him a blank look, and said without yin or yang: "Are you still thinking about the little fang in the village at the beginning?"

The old man was speechless for a moment, and then he seemed to be stepping on his tail, and suddenly became anxious, blushing and shouting: "Why are you always like this, it's not responsible to speak in front of juniors, when do I still think about Xiaofang, since I returned to the city, I haven't contacted her again, it's been decades, why do you always think about suspicion all day long,"

The old lady pursed her lips and ignored him, but looked at Feng Qi and said, "Xiaoqi, the girl from the old Wang's house at the entrance of the front street went to the countryside, is it what kind of college student you said about entering the countryside?"

"Yes, that's it," Feng Qi glanced at Lin Chenwan with a somewhat complicated expression, and said to the old lady: "If Senior Lin hadn't helped me solve my work problems, I would have wanted to go,"

"What is there to go in the countryside, the world is far away, and the transportation is not convenient, you are a big girl's family, what are you going to do there,"

The old man seemed to have seized the opportunity, and said: "You don't understand this, go to participate in this activity, go to the countryside to exercise and come back, and say that you can work in the government, Xiaoqi, isn't that the case?"

Lin Chenwan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the publicity about this event would be spread like this by everyone.

"Oh, so that's the case," the old lady said as if she suddenly realized: "No wonder the girl from the old Wang family went to the countryside and didn't come back for a year.

"Jiudao Mountain," Feng Qi said.

"That," said the old lady, pouting and shaking her head, "no wonder her mother washes her face with tears all day long, and is so worried that she can't even eat,"

Jiudao Mountain is the most remote mountainous village in Qiaoshan County, similar to Guantang in Dongping, but in the past two years, Guantang has been vigorously developed in all aspects, it can be said that it is changing with each passing day, and the highway has begun to start construction one after another, once the road is repaired, the development of Guantang is just around the corner, but Jiudao Mountain is not, located in the depths of several mountains, I heard that the farthest place, even the carriage can not enter, can only rely on people to walk, a big girl went to such a remote place, even the New Year can not be spent at home, It's no wonder that the family is worried.

Feng Qi was also quite emotional, and his eyes couldn't help but turn on Lin Chendui, if it wasn't for his luck and met Lin Chendui, maybe he would now, like Wang Heping, uprooted from his hometown, nested in the depths of the remote mountains, and when he was homesick, he could only cry silently.

And Lin Chenwan thought of this when he was thinking about it at the beginning, but now when he hears the old lady talk about it, he still feels a little unbearable.

"Qi girl, what kind of activity are you talking about, is it also organized by Xiaolin and their provincial committee," the old lady asked again.

"Yes, not only did it by the Provincial Committee of the Youth League, but also initiated and responsible for it by Senior Lin," Feng Qi said with some pride: "Don't you know, Senior Lin sat on the rostrum with the leaders of various departments in the province at the mobilization meeting, and when he spoke, he looked so high-spirited, he was really handsome, and at that time, I don't know how many girls were dumped by him."

"Really," the old lady's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Chenwan with expectation, and said, "No wonder, can you help Qi Yatou go to that commission,"

"NDRC," the old man said, "I've said it so many times, why don't I have a long memory at all,"

"Hehe, that's right, NDRC," the old lady said with a smile, "Xiaolin, what is this NDRC for, Qi girl works in it, has a future?"

Lin Chenwan patiently summarized the functions of the NDRC in the simplest and clearest words, and the old lady gasped and said: "My good girl, so powerful, Qi girl, then you will go to work in the NDRC in the future, can you let them, don't sell things so expensive, this price is rising every day, and if it continues to rise like this, I really can't even afford to eat,"

Seeing the old lady's serious appearance, Lin Chenwan couldn't help but smile, and said: "Auntie, whether the price will rise or not, it is strictly demonstrated by the relevant state departments, and no one alone has the final say,"

Feng Qi also leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, and it took a long time to stop laughing, and said: "Yes, Mom, if I am so powerful, then it is right, just let everything in the market be free of money,"

"You girl, talk crazy things, don't want money, then who will sell it," the old lady glared at her, and said, "I really think I'm an old fool,"
