When things are going smoothly at work, some turbulence is bound to happen at home. When Mo Yan appeared in front of her hesitantly, she knew in her heart what he was going to say.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Now that reform and opening up have begun, I want to visit the pilot cities in the south. I've heard that those cities are developing very rapidly, and I'd like to..."

"You want to start a business?" Lian Yanyan asked calmly.

How did you know?

"We've been together for over five years, and we've been a loving couple. How could I not understand you at all?"

"I'm just going to take a look, that's all."

"I agree, you can go." Lian Yanyan had actually been waiting for him to make a decision; this was an important part of the plot.

"and you,"

"What's wrong with me? I have a job and can take care of the children. Even if you fail, I'll still feed you when you get home. Go ahead. I chose this path myself, and I hope you won't miss out on the path you love."

"Yan'er, wife, I know this is a bit selfish. The child is still young, and I'm leaving the family to you all alone." Mo Yan felt guilty, but he couldn't suppress his feelings. Perhaps it was something in his genes that made him feel that the business world was his true domain.

"You're overthinking it. How old is a child? By the time he grows up, you'll be old, and you might miss the opportunity. Besides, many people take care of children alone, and I don't find it hard." Lian Yanyan wasn't just putting on an act. She works at the Education Bureau, which is next to the Municipal Government, and there's an internal kindergarten right next door. She just drops him off in the morning and picks him up after get off work, which is very convenient. If she gets busy, she can ask her grandparents to help take care of him for a few days. Why be so fussy?

"Wife." Mo Yan hugged her tightly, still moved.

In the years since they were married, Lian Yanyan discovered a valuable quality in him. In modern terms, he was very good at imagining things and strategizing for himself; he was a typical love-struck person.

"Old Mo, let go of my mother!" A childish voice suddenly appeared, and little Mo Songchuan held a wooden toy gun in one hand and pointed it at his own father with the other.

"I won't let go, she's my wife."

"Let go, this is my mother."

The daily drama of fighting over who gets to marry her began. Lian Yanyan calmly pushed the man away and started organizing documents amidst the childish background noise of their argument.

I sensed they'd finished arguing: "Yangyang, I'll be changing you to the preschool class in a few days."

Previously, Mo Songchuan had been staying at the steel mill's daycare center.

"Huh? Didn't Mom say that we could only go to after-school care when we were older?"

"You've grown up now, you're almost five years old."

"All right."

"I'll be going to work with Mom in a few days. Once I start the after-school program, I can't just play like before. I have to study, and Mom will spank me if I don't study well."

"Oh." In Yangyang's limited life, his father has taken care of him more. His father has never hit him. A child who has never been hit doesn't know what fear is.

.....

After completing her son's enrollment procedures, Lian Yanyan headed to her office. Today would be quite busy, as the spring semester of 82 was about to begin, and the principals of various schools would be coming to the city for a meeting.

During a break in the meeting, Lian Yanyan smiled and struck up a conversation with a middle school principal: "Are you the principal of Yong'an Town Middle School?"

"Hello, I am." Principal Hu noticed that she had been sitting very close to the director on the stage, and there were even some of her speech notes. The director had also spoken with her for a while.

"Hello, I'm also from Yong'an Town. It's nice to see someone from my hometown, so I came to say hello." Lian Yanyan had already read the information on the leadership teams of the two schools in her town. This Principal Hu was a native of Yong'an Town. He served in the army when he was young and was assigned to a middle school as a principal after returning. He was quick-witted and adaptable. Even during the most chaotic times, when teachers were all thrown into the dust, he remained unscathed.

"Really? Our town has produced a college student? I'm so negligent, I didn't even know."

"Principal Hu, my household registration is no longer in my hometown. My father works in a steel factory. I was born in the city, but my grandparents and uncles are all in my hometown."

"Oh? Which village are you from?"

"In Liangshan Village, Lianjia, my second uncle was the team leader, and my cousin, because he only graduated from junior high school, became the scorekeeper."

"It's a waste of talent for a junior high school graduate to be a scorekeeper."

"No matter how small the matter, serving the country is a major matter."

"Officer, the director just said that we're going to allocate qualified teachers to various schools. Does that mean the teaching staff will be expanded?"

"Yes, Principal Hu understands perfectly. For the teaching staff, our Education Bureau will recruit outstanding graduates from various universities. As for the other staff, we will prefer to recruit locally. For a middle school of your size, we will provide three permanent positions, as well as some temporary positions. You can decide for yourselves."

"Then I'll go back and try to recruit, and try to fill the vacancy before the start of the semester."

"Principal Hu is wise."

After getting off work that day, Lian Yanyan called the village branch and asked Uncle Lian Er and Lian Jianguo to answer the phone. Ten minutes later, she called again, and this time it was Uncle Lian Er who answered.

"swallow?"

"Second Uncle, is anyone else here?"

"No, the accountant went out. Didn't you ask your older brother to come too? Your younger sister is here too. Do you want her to leave?"

"Have Qingqing go out and keep an eye on things."

"it is good."

"Second Uncle, remember this: the day after tomorrow morning, have your eldest brother go to Yong'an Town Middle School to find Principal Hu and say he's applying for a teaching position."

"What? Your older brother? He only has a junior high school education, how can he teach?" Uncle Lian's voice trembled slightly.

"No, but schools aren't just for teachers who give lectures. There are also miscellaneous jobs like distributing books and ringing bells. This is the job that my brother wants to apply for. Principal Hu came to the Municipal Bureau for a meeting today, and I've already told him."

Uncle Lian glanced at his eldest son and hesitated for a moment, then hardened his heart and said, "Yanzi, how about letting the second son go? He's always restless at home, he's ruined all the marriage proposals. Your eldest brother is doing a good job as the scorekeeper."

"Second Uncle, this isn't suitable for Jianhua. I have other plans for him. Let Big Brother go to school." Lian Yanyan directly rejected the idea. Lian Jianhua is a restless person with a quick mind. His forte should be doing business. Wait another year or two until Mo Yan makes a name for himself, then he can take him out.

When her second aunt came to the city to help her during her postpartum period, Mo Yan offered to use her connections to find Lian Jianguo a job. Lian Yan refused. Mo Yan's connections were mostly in the city, and if he came, he would only be able to work in a factory. Most factories would be affected by the wave of reforms, and once Lian Jianguo was in a factory, it would be difficult to transfer him. He himself might not be willing to give up the job. By the time he was laid off, how old would he be? It would be difficult to arrange a job for him.
