Chapter 182 Let's go to Baiyanggou!

Anmin slowly pulled a letter with a red stamp from the file folder.

"You just said you were going to my workplace? What a coincidence, I just had a meeting with colleagues from the Provincial Women's Federation and the Provincial Newspaper yesterday."

We talked about how some men in certain areas still have outdated ideas from the old society, are lazy, oppress women, and even extort money from their ex-wives, seriously undermining the new socialist social order.

The reporters from the provincial newspaper were very interested, saying it was a typical case worth exploring in depth.

Wei Yaozong's face turned pale instantly.

These days, who isn't afraid of being in the newspapers?

Especially those bad examples that are shameful and disruptive to new trends.

That's enough to drown a person with just a few words.

An Min pulled out another piece of paper: "Also, I know your former boss from your previous workplace."

I made some inquiries, and it turns out you were fired back then for long-term absenteeism and drunken disorderly conduct; it's clearly recorded in your file.

Are you making such a fuss every day because you think the factory treated you too leniently back then?

Should I ask the factory to issue another certificate to inform the neighborhood committee and the street office about your glorious deeds from back then?

Wei Yaozong's forehead began to sweat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

His job was his biggest weakness, and being fired was the most humiliating thing for him.

"at last."

An Min took a step closer, lowering her voice, but it carried a strong sense of pressure, which only Wei Yaozong and Liang Yi, who was nearby, could hear clearly.

"You seem to have forgotten that although Liang Yi has retired early, he has retained his position. Doesn't that constitute harassment and threat to military families? And what kind of issue is that?"

This heavy accusation, coupled with previous newspaper reports and old factory disputes...

Wei Yaozong almost lost his footing; he was truly in deep trouble.

"me……"

An Min looked at him coldly and slowly stuffed the stack of papers in her hand back into the file folder.

"Comrade Wei Yaozong, you have to walk your own path. Do you want to keep causing trouble and let the whole county know what kind of person you are, so you can go to the place where you belong and eat free prison food?"
Or should you get lost right now, and from now on avoid my aunt, and behave yourself with your tail between your legs?

Wei Yaozong was terrified and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Stop it! Stop it! I'm leaving! I'm leaving right now! I'll never do it again!"

He turned and ran away in a panic, almost wetting himself. In his haste, he tripped at the door and nearly fell flat on his face, drawing low snickers from the neighbors.

Anmin then turned around and said gently to the neighbors, "Uncles and aunts, I'll have to trouble you all to take care of my aunt in the future."

If you see this person causing trouble again, don't hesitate to call the neighborhood security team or the police.

The neighbors echoed her sentiments, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Anmin.

Closing the door, Qin Shulan grabbed An Min's hand: "Xiao Min... you really know how to do things! He's finally met his match!"

The best way to deal with Wei Yaozong is to make him afraid.

He thought he was barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes, but Anmin showed him what it meant to be barefoot and afraid of getting burned.

After helping Qin Shulan deal with Wei Yaozong, An Min and Liang Yi stayed for two more days before planning to go to Baiyanggou.

The most important part of this trip to Northwest China is visiting Baiyanggou.

They made a name for themselves in Baiyanggou, and Liang Yi was transferred there because of his achievements in Baiyanggou.

That's also where Si'an and Shouye were born.

Although Aunt Qin Shulan was somewhat reluctant, she still saw them off.

The road to Baiyanggou is a dirt road, and the potholes still bear the mud imprints from the rain a few days ago.

Anmin sat by the window, her hand resting lightly on the windowsill. The car bumped along, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from the neat houses of the county town to the open fields.

Finally, there are rolling, yellowish-brown hills.

As Anmin gazed at the familiar gullies and ridges, her thoughts seemed to roll back with the turning of the wheels to the years she had spent struggling in Baiyanggou.

Liang Yi focused on driving, occasionally glancing at An Min through the rearview mirror with a gentle smile on his lips.

He knew that this trip back to Baiyanggou was of great significance to Anmin.

After several turns, when the car entered that familiar yet unfamiliar side road, we could see the village surrounded by poplar trees in the distance.

Anmin's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

The village has changed significantly. The low mud-brick houses that used to be there are now far fewer, replaced by rows of neat brick and tile houses.

Many homes also have solar water heaters on their roofs.

Although the road is still a dirt road, it has obviously been widened and leveled.

As soon as the car stopped at the village entrance, curious children gathered around.

As soon as An Min and Liang Yi got out of the car, they heard a voice shouting in disbelief and excitement.

"Hey! Isn't that... isn't that An Min?! And Liang Tuan?!"

An Min looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged woman wearing an apron, slightly plump, with a rosy complexion, jogging over with a delighted smile on her face.

"Sister Chunli!"

Anmin recognized her at a glance; it was Chunli, her best friend from the Women's Federation back then, a girl with a fiery and straightforward personality!
"Oh my god! It really is you guys! Good heavens! I thought I was seeing things!"

Chunli grabbed Anmin's hand, looked her up and down, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Great! Great! You look more energetic and promising! That's wonderful!"

She hurriedly greeted Liang Yi, "Commander Liang, you're back too!"

The commotion quickly attracted even more people.

A moment later, another woman, dressed neatly and with her hair combed, rushed over. Before she even arrived, her voice preceded her: "Who's here? Is it really Anmin and Liang Tuan?"

"Sister-in-law Zhang!"

Anmin exclaimed in surprise and delight.

Old Zhang's wife was the wife of Old Zhang, Liang Yi's comrade-in-arms. She helped a lot when Liang Yi gave birth.

"Oh! It's me!"

Old Zhang's wife grabbed An Min's other hand, equally excited: "Come on in! Come on in! What kind of behavior is this, standing here like this!"

Neighbors gathered around, some familiar, some not, and greeted them warmly.

An Min and Liang Yi were surrounded by people, as if they had returned to the time when they first arrived in Baiyanggou and were welcomed by everyone. Their hearts were filled with warmth.

Once inside Chunli's bright brick house, drinking steaming hot Fu tea, the conversation flowed freely.

"It's changed, it's really changed a lot."

Looking at the bright and clean room, An Min sighed, "This is really different from back then."

"you do not say!"

Sister Chunli chimed in, "Life was tough back then. We didn't have enough to eat or wear. It was thanks to you all leading us in production, digging irrigation ditches, planting trees, and later implementing the household responsibility system... that life gradually improved."

Look at it now! Brick houses have been built, electricity has been connected, and many families even have tractors and tricycles. It's much more convenient for the children to go to school!

Old Zhang's wife chimed in, "Yes, think back to when you first came here, Anmin, you were a pampered city girl, but you were more hardworking than anyone else. You and your husband helped us a lot!"
