Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 529: Do you want to make progress?
Yang Xiaole followed the other person and searched around the school.

They found their target in front of a building.

An old man wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket and with a haggard face was sweeping the floor listlessly with a large bamboo broom in his hand.

There was no one around at this time.

"Professor Huang."

Jiang Yan came closer and shouted.

The old man with half white hair raised his head when he heard that and looked at her with cloudy eyes.

He looked at Yang Xiaole next to him and said calmly, "Comrades, there is no Professor Huang here, only stinky old Huang."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan sighed and whispered, "Professor Huang, this is my friend, don't worry, I can trust him. I will take you to the Commercial Committee, just like last time."

Yang Xiaole stood in the distance.

Jiang Yan couldn't just take people away, because that required a reason, including contacting him and saying many things that required a reason.

Her reason was, of course, economic.

go for a trip.

The result was naturally no problem.

It can be considered as helping the other party in disguise.

Professor Huang looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Not today, let's go tonight! I can go home tonight."

Seeing him say that, Jiang Yan didn't think much about it.

After all, it's not a good idea to do it under the name of investigation. If I can go home, that would be the best.

He looked at Yang Xiaole not far away and finally nodded.

"Okay, Professor Huang, I'll have someone pick you up when I get off work tonight. It may not be me who comes by then."

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Jiang Yan took a look and prepared to leave.

"Let's go!"

He came closer and said something to Yang Xiaole.

Yang Xiaole looked at the old man, pondered for a moment, and asked Jiang Yan curiously: "Hey, Jiang Yan, can I ask you a question?"

"Ah? What's the problem?"

Jiang Yan felt strange for a moment.

Yang Xiaole crossed his arms, turned his head and looked at her with a smile: "You said, when Han Xin was humiliated by being kicked in the crotch, and King Gou Jian of Yue was enslaved by Wu, why didn't they die after suffering such great humiliation? Reputation seems to be very important in ancient times!"

Hearing these inexplicable words, Jiang Yan was also confused.

"Han Xin was humiliated under the crotch because of the pressure of life, and Gou Jian, the King of Yue, was also to avenge his previous humiliation. Without these, there would be no such eternal stories."

Yang Xiaole is a trustworthy person, but Professor Huang himself is in trouble.

Jiang Yan didn't care.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole laughed and said, "You know what? When I went to the north to do stringing, I heard someone tell this story. It said that a person was insulted and then committed suicide."

After a pause, he continued, “At this time, the neighbors had two opinions. One was that this person was a man of integrity and would rather die than surrender.

There is another saying that this man was a coward, or that he was too fragile and wanted to escape when he encountered difficulties. His death was the end of everything, but the ones who suffered the most were his family members. "

After saying that, he just looked at Jiang Yan.

Seeing Yang Xiaole's gaze and thinking about what he had just said, I instantly understood what he meant.

Then he asked in a low voice: "Professor Huang..."

Didn't say it out loud.

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly. He could not sense any anger from Professor Huang.

It is somewhat different from other people who, when faced with this kind of thing, would look angry, humiliated, and confused.

It seems as if there is no trace of attachment to this world.

Of course, this was just his guess, and it might be that the other party was just discouraged.

There are too many people like this in modern times.

Even gods cannot save those who are dead in heart.

But if you see it, give it a try!

He doesn't know the other party either.

Then he looked at Professor Huang who had already looked here, and asked curiously: "Mr. Huang, we are all young and have little experience. You have eaten more salt than we have eaten rice. Tell me, does this person have integrity, or is he too fragile to withstand setbacks?"

Hearing this, the old man's scattered gaze focused again.

Then it turned into confusion.

Of course he heard what Yang Xiaole said, but for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

I was kind of in a daze there.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole looked at Jiang Yan who was worried beside him and said, "Okay, let's go back."

After saying that, he walked out of the school.

He originally thought that if necessary, he could still ask for advice, and knowing some basics would be enough.

For example, taking the pulse or something like that.

But it looks like there's no hope.

Jiang Yan looked at Yang Xiaole who was leaving, then looked at Professor Huang, and hurriedly chased after him.

Look back from time to time.

When she caught up with Yang Xiaole, she asked anxiously, "Are you leaving just like that? What if he dies?"

Yang Xiaole shrugged and said, "He's already such a grown-up. If he's determined to think about it, you can stop him for a while, but can you stop him forever? Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. If he can't get over it, this day will come eventually, and you can't stop him."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan sighed.

In the past two years, she has seen too many separations and deaths.

It's just that I can't bear it.

She also thought that if relatives or family members could persuade her, things might be better.

I turned around a building and took a last look at Old Huang who was standing there in a daze.

She didn't turn around until she was out of sight.

Sighed.

But I was thinking about something in my heart.

Yang Xiaole knew what she wanted to do without even thinking about it. She probably wanted to find someone to comfort him.

There is also hope, after all, everyone has concerns.

No words were spoken.

Walked towards the school gate.

"Comrade Jiang~"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment and quickly turned her head.

Then I saw Lao Huang think for a moment, and then slowly said: "Remember at night!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan swept away the nervousness in her heart and nodded happily: "Okay!"

Watch the old man turn and leave.

Only then did she clear her gloom and said with a smile: "You are quite capable!"

"Wow, look at what you said, I have more than just a few tricks! There are so many things you don't know, but the old man's poem is quite appropriate: The long road ahead is as hard as iron, but now I start over again."

Jiang Yan curled her lips when she heard that.

Then she looked at him and smiled, "Hey, you're the one! You're a bunch of idiots all day long, and you're neither a horse nor a donkey. But when I'm with you, I feel like there's no pressure in the world, as if nothing can be difficult for you."

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person.

Recalling Jiang Yan's past smile.

But looking back, I have met Jiang Yan many times, but rarely saw her smile like this.

Every time she smiled in a formulaic way, just like the bankers or salespeople in later generations.

As if wearing a mask.

But think about it.

Jiang Yan grew up in an orphanage. Just as she was entering junior high school, the old director who had been taking care of her passed away.

About a year after being adopted by his current adoptive parents, he had a son.

Even if she hadn't given birth to another son, Jiang Yan was already in junior high school when she was adopted and had the ability to think independently.

I can only disguise myself quietly.

Then he asked with a smile: "How is things going at home recently?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan calmed down a little and smiled, "It's okay! There's another boy in the family."

"Pfft~"

Yang Xiaole was surprised: "What? When did it happen?"

"Two years ago."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole said softly: "My sister didn't mention this!"

But when I think about it, it was already a long time ago and I didn’t have the mood to talk about this.

Then a question came to mind.

The second child in Jiang Yan's family was born in 59, which makes him eleven years old now. He should be in the fourth or fifth grade this year.

In five years, I will graduate from junior high school.

At that time, there were still about four or five years before the reform and opening up.

By then, it would probably be a troublesome matter. Jiang Yan's adoptive mother can play the violin, so you can imagine her family situation in the past.

Going to the countryside to join the production team was inevitable.

In fact, in the later period, those who went to the countryside were basically settled in farms near the old city, but given their family's situation, they would definitely not be arranged in the suburbs.

It's definitely a more difficult place.

If he has a child in his old age, he will definitely treasure him very much. When the time comes, he will definitely look for Jiang Yan.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Yan's not-so-new cotton-padded jacket and asked, "Has your father resumed work? Is your family now entirely dependent on you?"

He knew that her mother had not been working since she gave birth to her first child.

The reason why Jiang Yan was attracted by this family was that she was able to continue to come back to work.

Part of the reason was that she had been to a farm to receive "education", and part of the reason, of course, was because she was born an orphan.

Otherwise, I would definitely stay on the farm for a long time.

Jiang Yan nodded: "I've recovered and am sweeping the floor in the factory."

Then he sighed: "If I don't support you, who else can I rely on? My dad doesn't have a salary now, and my mom hasn't worked for so many years."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly when he heard this.

Mr. Jiang’s salary will definitely be compensated in the future, but the exact time is not clear because it is different for each person.

In other words, Jiang Yan has to support his father until he gets his salary supplemented.

As for the subsidized salary, given Jiang's mother's personality, it naturally fell into the hands of her son.

Who made her not her biological child, and she’s a girl!

It is destined. Even if they are biological children, this is basically the result. It is also a microcosm of this era.

In fact, many families in later generations are like this.

Without thinking any further, the two of them arrived at the school gate.

Jiang Yan looked at him, biting her lip and said, "I still want to thank you for what you did before! The medicine you gave me allowed me to persevere and get the title of activist."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled indifferently.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. I'll make you some in a few days, and you can drink it when you're free. But you have to drink it!"

In fact, he understood that Jiang Yan's adoptive mother must have given birth to the child after drinking well water.

Because the eldest sister will give this thing to Jiang Yan.

If Jiang Yan sees that someone in her family is not feeling well, she will definitely give some out.

"How much is it? I'll give it to you when the time comes!"

"Haha, that's not something you can buy with money. Okay, just do your thing. If you have time, go play with my sister."

Jiang Yan is the eldest sister’s earliest friend.

It’s not easy to stay here this long, and many people just dispersed along the way.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan nodded gently: "Okay, I haven't picked up the person yet, so I'll go back first. It's a pity that you have to leave the day after tomorrow, and today is the Lantern Festival. Otherwise, I would treat you to a meal the day after tomorrow."

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Next time, please treat me to a meal next time."

Looking at his expression, Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.

He said hello, went to where the bicycles were parked, and rode away.

Seeing that the other party had ridden far away, he quietly left, took out his bicycle and rushed home.

There's nothing going on now.

I returned to my home street and went straight to the neighborhood office.

Now I need to sort out my own family affairs.

When I arrived at the place, I went straight to the director of the street office.

"Director Sun?"

After entering the compound, I saw Wang Jianjun's mother in the office of the street director.

That is the former director of the street office.

The other party obviously saw him and was surprised: "Yang Xiaole, didn't you go to the countryside? Why are you here?"

The young man in front of him is considered a big shot on the street.

Moreover, there were some things that happened between her and her son back then, but she just turned a blind eye.

What's more, the two families' courtyards are separated by only one yard.

Yang Xiaole looked around and said with a smile: "I am joining the team, but the team sent me there for something. I passed by Sijiu City and came back to take a look..."

Let me tell you the general situation.

Director Sun smiled and said, "You didn't sneak back here, did you?"

"How can that be possible! I have the team's certificate with me!"

Yang Xiaole said with a smile.

Director Sun nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "Why are you here? Are you looking for someone?"

She already had some ideas in her mind.

I guess it’s something from my hometown.

Yang Xiaole didn't answer in a hurry, but asked: "Director Sun, are you back to work?"

Director Sun sighed, "I guess so! What's the matter? But don't call me Director from now on. Call me Deputy Director."

Looking at her expression, Yang Xiaole instantly understood what was going on.

Director Sun is still the director of the subdistrict office, and he has definitely not removed this title.

The street office has actually come to a standstill.

What ordinary people call the Street Office is actually the Street Committee, which is another team, but they are the same in the eyes of ordinary people.

Given Director Sun's situation, now that he's back, he will definitely join.

So I attached a deputy.

Stand aside.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "I'm here to explain the situation..."

He then told the story of the severance of the relationship between Yang Mancang and his family.

If his father didn't say anything, then he would come over and say something.

Upon hearing this, Director Sun confirmed his own thoughts.

He nodded, looked at the director's office and said, "Director Li is in the office! Go find him!"

"Okay, then you go ahead and I'll go over first."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Just as he was about to leave, Director Sun stopped him.

Yang Xiaole looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong? Director Sun."

Director Sun hesitated for a moment, looked around, and whispered, "Director Li wants to make an example of you in your case."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole raised his eyebrows.

Make it a model.

There are typically two types, one good and one bad.

There is no need to think about it to make Director Sun say this.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't rush in.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Director Sun, I want to ask you something. Do you still want to make progress? Is it possible?"

This made Director Sun raise his eyebrows.

Who is she? She has been in charge of the entire street with tens of thousands of people for nearly twenty years.

I've seen all kinds of people and heard all kinds of words.

I immediately understood what it meant.

But she didn't dare answer.

After all, the situation is very special now.

After thinking for a while, he said, "There is a chance!"

Hearing her say this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "That's fine if you say so. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go to Director Li first and see how this model is established."

He has never underestimated Director Sun in front of him.

The fact that they were sent here after liberation shows their ability.

There are tens of thousands of people in the entire street office, and there are too many and complicated things involved.

It is very training.

As long as they are not too bad, after a dozen years, everyone will be as smart as a human.

Director Sun looked at the other person's back as he left, frowning.

Yang Xiaole used to be the company commander of the Red Eighth Company of the Eighth Middle School. What is the Eighth Middle School? It was one of the centers of the vortex back then.

And his academic performance has always been the best in the grade.

There is definitely no problem with the IQ.

The rest is experience.

This takes time and experience.

But for some reason, she had a strange feeling in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have said those words to him.
