Chapter 3 This paper is much thicker

  Night has deepened. The little girl who was lively and active earlier is now fast asleep in her father's arms.

  "Xiao Fu, are you going to school this time?" Li Zhenbang, the little girl's father, who was also awake, touched his daughter's head with his hand and asked Piao Xin in a low voice.

  "No, I'm going home this time." Fu Xin was unwilling to reveal his identity as a wounded veteran. At that time, people liked university students, but they revered the Liberation Army.

  "Oh." Li Zhenbang was a steady middle-aged man, since others didn't want to say more, he also didn't ask much, after all, they were just passing acquaintances.

  "Li Shu, what are you guys doing?" Fu Xin asked suddenly.

  "I've just returned to my hometown for a family visit and brought my daughter along. Now that the holiday is ending, I have to head back to Hong City." Li Zhenbang asked curiously, "By the way, Xiao Li, your accent doesn't sound like you're from Hong City?"

  "Uh, I'm from Yicheng. The reason I went to Hongcheng that day was because Hongcheng is the provincial capital of Xijiang Province. After arriving in Hongcheng, I still had to transfer cars to go home."

  "Oh, no wonder."

  At this time, Li Zhenbang noticed Fu Xin's luggage and seemed to understand something.

  Then Li Zhenbang casually asked: "Xiao Fu, are you going home to study or work in a factory this time?"

  "I guess I should just go work, reading books is pointless anyway..." With a mind full of knowledge, Pei Xin couldn't muster up the interest to go back to school.

  Teachers who can really teach him are rare indeed.

  "Going into the factory as a worker, do you have any arrangements?" Li Zhenbang continued to ask.

  "I don't know either, it's been over two years since I left home, and the changes at home, I really don't understand very well. Now that the country has opened up, the spring breeze of reform and opening up has blown into this beautiful land, everywhere is rushing to start developing, changing day by day, and I know even less." Fuxin sighed.

  It was Li Zhenbang's turn to be surprised, as a government employee, he knew that the spring breeze of reform and opening up had already blown into this land, which wasn't surprising at all.

  But in this era, communication was not developed. Not to mention ordinary people, even most rural areas were still eating out of a big pot and their thinking was stuck in the previous stage, who knew what reform and opening up meant? Unexpectedly, the retired soldier from a remote area sitting next to him, Li Zhenbang, thought so, and he actually knew about this matter, which was really strange.

  "Xiao Fu, are you interested in going to work at a bicycle factory?" Li Zhenbang suddenly said with a smile.

  "Hmm..." Fei Xin was taken aback by Li Zhenbang's words and arranged for him to work in the factory. It seems that this Li Zhenbang is not simple.

  "Heh heh, I know you have questions. Let me tell you, I'm a government official. This time when I go back, I'll be transferred to the Zhenjiang Municipal Committee as vice mayor in charge of local economy. Arranging for a retired soldier like you to work at a factory isn't a difficult task. It's just that you're from Yicheng and your home is quite far from Zhenjiang, so I don't know if you'd be willing?" Li Zhenbang also thought Piao Xin was an honest person, looked pretty reliable, and seeing the corner of Piao Xin's luggage, Li Zhenbang couldn't help but feel a bit more respectful, which is why he said this.

  "Ah, Mayor Li! Uh... how did you know I'm a retired veteran?" Fu Xin didn't have much of a reaction to Li Zhenbang's identity. As an academician in his past life, he had met even the highest-ranking officials, let alone a deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city. What surprised him was that Li Zhenbang knew he was a retired veteran.

  "Haha, young man, although you're not wearing a military uniform, the corner of that package of yours is quite revealing." Li Zhenbang took a glance at Fu Xin's luggage and saw that it wasn't packed tightly. Inside, he caught sight of a military uniform with bloodstains that hadn't been washed clean yet, and he chuckled to himself.

  "Ah, oh." Fu Xin suddenly realized, patted his own forehead and sighed with a bitter smile.

  "Young man is quite steady, how about it, are you willing to go to Xinyang Bicycle Factory for work? However, I must explain beforehand, I am only responsible for arranging you into the factory, starting from the grassroots level, but not responsible for your specific position in the factory!" Some things still need to be announced beforehand.

  Nanyang Bicycle Factory, as soon as the new brain had an impression of this factory. This factory is still developing well and continues to move forward. However, after a few more years, foreign goods impacted, coupled with the leadership's conservative and self-enclosed mindset, failing to keep up with the times, leading to the factory's gradual decline and eventual bankruptcy.

  If he is willing to be an ordinary worker, then the Gongyang Bicycle Factory is not a good choice. However, as a traverser with countless knowledge in his mind, why not go?

  Now that the reform and opening up have just begun, the spring breeze has already blown into this land, but the wind also needs to blow step by step, how can there be a good thing like one step to reach the sky.

  Private enterprise, this term, is still not clear. If he rashly goes to start some kind of personal business venture, even if he makes money, he will be treated as a capitalist and executed. The bloody lessons of the pioneers of private enterprises in the early days of reform and opening up are not just talk, the policy above has not been set, absolutely cannot be reckless.

  Follow the Party, it's always right.

  So, even if the future of this Wu Yang Bicycle Factory is dark, but now they are still in their heyday, haven't you seen those more and more bicycles, just like the more and more cars running on the road in the future? They are now a rising enterprise. Moreover, Fu Xin also has an idea sprouting in his heart, perhaps...

  A few minutes passed, and under Li Zhenbang's expectant gaze, Fu Xin nodded heavily and said: "I'll go, but I want to go home first."

  "Go back, I think you should go home and see your family first, so they won't worry." Li Zhenbang said, then picked up his daughter and put her on a nearby seat, took out a pen and paper from the package, wrote an address and contact information, handed it to Fu Xin and said: "Xiao Fu, you go back home first, after your family's affairs are settled, come to Wu Yang City Government according to this address and contact information, I will arrange for you then."

  "Alright." Fu Xin accepted this heavy note.

  Fu Xin and Li Zhenbang were just acquaintances, but the sentiment was deep. Moreover, with the current trend of educated youth returning to their hometowns, there weren't enough arrangements for those people, let alone...

  Fu Xin is a sentimental person, and his tear glands seem to be well-developed. He can't help but feel moved to tears, so he silently tells himself in his heart: "This paper is much thicker than the paper of later generations!"
