That night, after dinner at Zhou Haiyang's house, the three of them took a walk along the lake.

After walking for a while, Pei Xiaohong asked Zhou Haiyang directly: "Haiyang, we will graduate from college at the end of next year. What do you think?"

"I have thought about it since the day I applied for Qinhua University, and I decided to work in a government department..." Zhou Haiyang said bluntly.

"Currently, there is a shortage of talents in all walks of life. Our current generation of college graduates have so many career choices. Are you really prepared to pursue an official career?" Tan Yuanyuan asked from the side.

"What's wrong with pursuing an official career? I can do more things for the people, help them solve more problems, and make their lives better. This is what I want to do in this life, do you understand?!"

"Have you ever thought about whether to stay in Yanjing or return to Jiangning after graduation?" Pei Xiaohong asked next.

"Then I must go back to Jiangning! After all, I am the only son in our family. I grew up in Ningcheng, and I still have feelings for Jiangning.

Not only go back to Jiangning, but also go to the grassroots level.

Some areas in Jiangning are still very poor, such as Yongfeng County where we jumped in line. Of course, there are many places even poorer than Yongfeng County.

The poorer the place, the more officials are needed who are dedicated to doing practical things for the people. Are you right?"

Pei Xiaohong continued: "As long as you have people in your heart, I believe that no matter how poor a place is, it will become rich one day. Yuanping Village is the best example."

After Pei Xiaohong pondered for a moment, he then added: "During the Spring Festival this year, my dad officially talked to me."

"Oh! Where does he want you to go after graduating from college?" Zhou Haiyang asked.

"He hopes that I can return to Huaining after graduation."

"Return to Huaining? What do you mean?"

"Um...Didn't Liu Yan tell you?"

Zhou Haiyang shook his head.

"My dad told him about this during the National Day last year. But the time had not been determined at that time."

"You mean, your dad is going to Huaining City?"

Pei Xiaohong nodded: "My father will be transferred to Huaining Municipal Committee in the first half of this year, and Yuanyuan and Shanshan's father will also be transferred to Huaining City."

"No! How come it's such a coincidence?" Zhou Haiyang exclaimed.

"What's wrong? Our three fathers used to work together in Yongfeng.

The province is considering letting the three of them go to Huaining together to strengthen the leadership of Huaining after the land is evacuated and the city is built. What's the fuss about this?" Tan Yuanyuan said.

"No! The coincidence I'm talking about is that my dad may be transferred to the Huaining Municipal Party Committee this year..."

Tan Yuanyuan exclaimed: "It can't be such a coincidence, right? Shanshan's father and I both worked in Huaining before arriving in Yongfeng County.

Xiaohong's father was originally a member of the Standing Committee of the Huaining District Committee, so it was normal for them to come to Huaining.

Your dad did a good job in the Provincial Seismological Bureau, why did he jump to the next place all of a sudden..."

"My father was the secretary-general of the Jiangning Provincial Party Committee more than ten years ago. When he was ten years old, he stepped aside and joined the study class.

After graduating from the study class, I was temporarily assigned to the Provincial Seismological Bureau.

This time Huaining was evacuated and established as a city. The relevant leaders of the Provincial Party Committee talked to my father and asked him to consider returning to work in government agencies, saying that he would become the secretary of the Huaining Municipal Party Committee.

However, we have been talking about it for more than two months, but it has not been finalized yet.”

"What does your father think about this matter?"

“My dad has always done whatever the party told him to do...

The key is that there are currently other nominees in the province and there are different opinions on this."

Hearing this, Pei Xiaohong continued: "I heard from my dad that her position in Huaining was deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

If your father really became the municipal party committee secretary, wouldn't the two of them be partners?

Have you told Liu Yan about this?"

Zhou Haiyang shook his head: "On the day we met on the first day of the new year, a few of us arrived at Lin Nan's house first.

After having dinner at Lin Nan's house, we came to my house again. After that, we broke up. Zhuang Yan was also there at the time, so we didn't have time to talk about it.

Besides, the province has not yet finalized my father’s whereabouts.”

"If your dad can go to Huaining, we can always be together again..." Tan Yuanyuan said excitedly.

Pei Xiaohong glanced at Tan Yuanyuan and said, "What a wonderful idea! Huaining is such a big place, and there is no guarantee that we will all be in the same place.

In addition to municipal government agencies, there are also so many cities and counties, including Yongfeng County. There are also so many communes under the county...

If a few of us really go to the grassroots level, it would be great to be in the same county.

The work at the grassroots level is inextricably linked, and when we get busy, we may not see each other even once every few months.

My dad and I talked all night during the Spring Festival this year and talked about Huaining for most of the day.

It is said that the foundation of that place is relatively backward, and there are many poor counties like Yongfeng County...

To put it bluntly! He just wanted me to go directly to the grassroots level after graduating from university, not to work in municipal agencies or ministries, commissions, offices, bureaus..."

"My dad said the same thing, but my mom wanted me to stay in the city, saying that since I graduated from Yanjing Normal University, I should enter the education system..." Tan Yuanyuan continued.

"Listening to what you said, I have to think this over with Liu Yan."

"Liu Yan's attitude is very clear. After bidding farewell to Lin Nan last year, he and Lili came to my house.

He personally told my dad that he plans to return to Huaining after graduating from college and work at the grassroots level. But he has not yet decided whether to return to Yongfeng County or other counties..."

Zhou Haiyang heard this and said: "It seems that Secretary Pei and my father have the same idea. They both want to fight a battle in Huaining to encircle the city from the countryside.

If the two of them could work together, they might be able to take advantage of Huaining's opportunity to evacuate land and build a city.

But it is said that the province has different opinions in this regard, and many people believe that in order to quickly stimulate economic growth in a place, the focus should be on urban construction and transformation."

Pei Xiaohong continued: "The problem is that our country's current foundation is so weak, and urban construction and renovation require a large amount of capital investment.

If this is not done properly, the gap between urban and rural areas will become wider and wider, eventually leading to a massive outflow of rural people."

Zhou Haiyang said: "China is a large agricultural country. If the backwardness of the countryside is not completely changed, the quality of the rural population will not be improved.

At that time, the large influx of rural people into cities will not only cause a further decline in the quality of the rural population, but will also bring many hidden dangers and new problems to urban management."

Tan Yuanyuan continued: "If the opinions of the province cannot be unified, it will be difficult to do the following work.

No wonder my dad was very worried during this time, and it seemed that he was also restricted by the different opinions of the province.

As the deputy mayor in charge of the economy of Huaining City, he is under a lot of pressure..."

After Zhou Haiyang thought for a moment, he continued: "I'm thinking, no matter what the opinions of the province are, we should explore a way?"

"Explore on your own? What are your ideas?" Pei Xiaohong asked.

"The specific ideas are not mature yet. We have to discuss it with Liu Yan. I believe he must have ideas in this regard."

[Author's digression]: "1002889 Rebirth 1976 Begins as an Educated Youth" is a long serial officialdom novel that is completely different from the promotion of children from poor families...

Through the encounters of the protagonist's family in historical periods, the experience of going to the mountains and countryside, and the personal growth process, the work shapes the political character of a generation of people who love the motherland, understand the national conditions, sympathize with the people, care about the fate of the nation, and hope for the steady development of the country.

The author uses a different thinking and vision from previous officialdom works, and uses personal experience to take you from a new perspective to understand and recognize the other side of the positive energy of officialdom from the 1970s to the 21st century, as well as

The mind and pattern of a generation...

I hope to continue to receive criticism, guidance, encouragement and support from all readers in various ways!
