When Fan Yanping saw Liu Yan, it was already past 12 noon.

Liu Yan and Fan Lili had just finished lunch and were working in the corn field.

"Liu Yan, Secretary Zhang of the commune called and asked you to rush to the commune immediately and leave now..." Fan Yanping was panting and out of breath.

When Liu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel startled, and his face was full of doubts: Dad, did I hear it wrong, or did you hear it wrong?

"Dad, why did Secretary Zhang ask Liu Yan to go to the commune?" Fan Lili asked in confusion.

"I'm not going to the commune, oh, I'm going to the commune, well, I was confused.

Secretary Zhang said on the phone that the county committee's car was waiting in the commune compound, saying that Secretary Pei of the county committee wanted to summon Liu Yan urgently today.

Secretary Zhang asked me on the phone, what is the relationship between Secretary Pei and Liu Yan? I can’t tell clearly. Oh, Liu Yan, why haven’t I heard you say that before..." Fan Yan took a deep breath and then asked.

"Dad, did you hear me correctly? How could Secretary Pei of the County Party Committee want to see me? I have nothing to do with him." Liu Yan shook his head.

"Whether it has anything to do with it or not, let's go first and then we'll talk. Let's leave immediately! Don't keep the county committee's car waiting!

Lili, go home with Liu Yan, let him take a bath, change into clean clothes, and accompany him to the commune."

At this moment, Liu Yan was very anxious. The appointment with Secretary Pei of the county party committee was most likely because of the earthquake forecast.

At this point, no matter what it is, even if it means being scolded, I have to go.

Isn’t that what I want? I want to use this incident to attract the attention of the superiors to Genpei.

Then take this opportunity to make a big fuss, build relationships with relevant departments and leaders, and implement road construction...

Yes! Just do it!

If we can get the support of the county party committee, things will be much easier to handle...

"Liu Yan, if Secretary Pei asks about our Yuanping situation..." Fan Yanping hesitated to speak.

"Dad, don't worry! I understand what you mean and know what to say. I will never embarrass our Yuanping and you."

"Dad can trust you on this. If Secretary Pei has any instructions, you can handle it on my behalf! Dad can trust you!"

"Okay, dad, I'll leave then. If there are any instructions from Secretary Pei, I will call you and report them in time. By the way, dad, don't forget about the bamboo factory. It's best to implement it in the next two days.

Come down." Before leaving, Liu Yan did not forget to say something special.

"Don't worry!" Fan Yanping waved his hand.

…

Liu Yan and Fan Lili walked along the path to the bottom of the mountain when they saw Zhou Haiyang and Liang Ming standing in front of a Yanjing jeep waving to him.

"Yangyang, didn't you go back to Ningcheng? Why did you two come together?" Liu Yan's face was full of confusion.

"We are here to pick you up on the order of Secretary Pei." Liang Ming said with a smile: "Oh, did you bring your wife with you?"

"My father asked me to take Liu Yan to the commune." Fan Lili said openly.

"...Didn't I say that the car is waiting for me in the commune compound?" Liu Yan asked.

"Isn't this just to seize the time? Let the driver drive directly to the intersection at the foot of the mountain, so you can walk less and get in the car quickly..." Zhou Haiyang said.

"Hey, why is Secretary Pei looking for me? What happened? Didn't you go back to Ningcheng? Why are you back again?" Liu Yan looked at Zhou Haiyang in confusion.

"The first question, you ask me, who should I ask? You should ask yourself.

Liang Ming and I are also wondering about this matter. If you don't know it yourself, we will not know it even more.

As for the second question, I won’t tell you until the first question is clarified." After Zhou Haiyang finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Yan fiercely.

"Get in the car! Everything will be clear when you get to the county seat." Liang Ming added at the side.

…

Looking at Liu Yan's leaving figure, Fan Lili's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help but burst into tears!

In their marriage, she has always been active and passive at the same time.

It was she who pursued Liu Yan, but she knew in her heart that he didn't like her at all a few days ago. Being with her was just out of necessity.

Therefore, Fan Lili has been in a state of worrying about gains and losses in the past six months.

Although he has changed now, she still feels uneasy. She is worried that one day, this man like Prince Charming will secretly leave her and never return.

For example, today, as soon as she heard that he was going to the county, she kept thinking in her heart: What should she do if he really doesn't come back?

But she had to let him go, because she knew in her heart that Secretary Pei of the county party committee wanted to see him this time, and her father personally answered the call, so she had to go.

At this moment, Fan Lili's heart was full of hesitation and helplessness, and she was quite tormented.

...

At this time, Liu Yan had just walked to the jeep.

Just when he was about to step into the car, he couldn't help but look back. He saw Fan Lili standing at the intersection, her sleeves constantly wiping in front of her eyes.

Seeing this, he suddenly felt sad and thought, this woman is too sentimental and she must be overthinking.

Liu Yan immediately retracted the foot that had been extended into the car and quickly came to her side.

Taking a closer look, sure enough, Fan Lili was crying!

Looking at his crying wife, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart.

He couldn't help but think to himself: It seems that Fan Lili was too insecure when she was with the original owner before.

When Fan Lili saw Liu Yan, she hesitated and said: "I...I'm just...a little bit..."

Before Fan Lili could finish her words, Liu Yan pulled her into his arms and held her tightly: "How about you go to the county with me!"

Fan Lili shook her head: "You are going to see Secretary Pei for work. If I go, people will gossip..."

Hearing this, Liu Yan whispered in her ear: "Then if you don't cry, I will be back tomorrow!"

"Yes! I believe you!" Fan Lili nodded vigorously: "Don't cry! Then you must come back early...I..."

Seeing the excited and incoherent Fan Lili, the softest part of Liu Yan's heart was touched again, and he shed tears of distress...

This work is different from many works that describe the official promotion of students from poor families. It mainly describes the children of cadres in Jiangning Province, represented by Liu Yan, who experienced the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. After graduating from university in the early 1980s, they voluntarily gave up their career in ministries and commissions and the province.

The opportunity of the municipal government requires the step-by-step growth process after entering rural grassroots work...

The experiences of that year enabled them to learn to calmly, comprehensively and deeply understand the national conditions and people's conditions, especially the actual situation in rural areas.

They have seen and experienced with their own eyes how huge the difference between urban and rural areas is, how unbalanced regional development is, how poor the vast rural areas are, and the contrast in people's ideological concepts and culture.

They have done their best in the movement to go to the mountains and countryside, in the social projects to change the poverty and backwardness of rural areas, and in the construction of material and spiritual civilization in rural areas, and have achieved indelible achievements.

At the same time, they also clearly realized a reality, that is: to completely change the face of rural poverty, it is not only about getting rid of material poverty, but also about spiritual poverty alleviation, and there is a long way to go.

Going to the mountains and countryside has made them consciously or unconsciously develop a belief in life that is unwilling to lag behind, unwilling to sink, and to forge ahead.

Cultivate the political character of understanding the national conditions and people's sentiments, caring about the destiny of the nation, and hoping for the steady development of the country.
