Traveling back to 1952, starting a comeback from a relief station

The Chinese textbook is the 1951 edition, and the mathematics textbook is the 1950 edition.

There is also a book titled "A Combined Collection of Chinese and Foreign History and Geography" and a book titled "Fundamentals of Physics and Chemistry," both of which are 32mo paperbacks with simple blue and white covers and pages with a faint yellow tint, made of genuine machine-made paper.

As Wang Anping stroked these textbooks, which bore the marks of time, a thought unexpectedly arose in his mind—

Keep these textbooks as they are; in a few decades, they might even become rare items that can be sold for some money.

"Sister Li, thank you so much."

Wang Anping thanked him profusely.

Sister Li waved her hand, picked up a dip pen, and said as she wrote in the register:

"No need to thank me, these are all public resources from the neighborhood, meant for people like you who want to study and improve."

"You're part of the work group, so you don't need any additional proof of your identity; just register..."

"Alright, sign your name on the back now."

Wang Anping signed the register, then turned to Wang Qin with an apologetic expression.

"Sister Wang, I'm so sorry, my foundation is still too weak. I need to calm down and study hard these days."

"It seems the work of the task force will not be able to proceed as usual."

Wang Qin was stunned for a moment:

Are you planning to quit your job?

Seeing Wang Anping nod, she couldn't help but frown slightly, her face showing reluctance.

The staff members around him also looked at him in surprise.

Although everyone thought it was a good thing that Wang Anping wanted to go to university, deep down they still felt that it was somewhat "unproductive".

Moreover, even if you need to prepare for the exam, you can study while working.

Quitting your job and focusing all your energy on studying is not a wise move.

Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the front yard, as if something had happened.

The group hurried to the front yard, and just as they reached the entrance, they saw several officers in police uniforms walk in, carrying a banner.

Two of them were the same people who came to deliver the letter of commendation last time.

Seeing this commotion, Wang Qin felt uneasy and stepped forward to ask:

"Director Zhang, what's going on here?"

The person leading the group was Director Zhang of the local police station, whom Wang Anping did not recognize.

Seeing that the two comrades had looked at him last time, he roughly understood what was going on—the matter of the enemy agent must have been settled, and they were here to praise him again.

This is much more elaborate than the last time.

It's no wonder, considering that last time they only caught a thief, but this time it's a real enemy agent.

Director Zhang stepped forward and said loudly:

"Comrade Wang Anping, you're here too, that's perfect."

"Comrade Wang Qin, I am here today on behalf of the neighbors to express our gratitude to Comrade Wang Anping!"

"Thanks to his quick thinking and bravery, he helped capture an enemy agent on the spot."

"Following up our interrogation, we followed the clues and arrested three more people, directly dismantling a hidden spy gang and protecting everyone's safety."

"Comrade Wang Anping made a great contribution and played a crucial role in this case!"

Wang Qin and her colleagues in the work group were stunned.

Not long ago, Wang Anping was praised for helping to catch a thief, and now he has made another great contribution by catching an enemy agent.

This kid, you could say he's not doing his job properly.

All the things that can be done are incredibly good, so there's no way to really find fault with them.

Moreover, Wang Anping was a member of the work group, and the fact that he received praise and awards one after another was proof that the work group had done a good job in ideological work and that the comrades they trained were ideologically sound and highly conscious.

Look at him, he's already thinking about going to university. He's definitely not an ordinary person!

No wonder Comrade Wang Anping is like this; he is an extraordinary person, and his actions are naturally different from those of ordinary people.

Wang Anping accepted the letter of commendation and the banner presented by the police officers.

Together with Wang Qin, they politely saw the group off.

As soon as I turned around, I was surrounded by my colleagues from the work group, who all asked me what had happened.

Wang Anping was helpless.

I could only briefly recount what had happened.

I heard there were guns at the scene, and even some soldiers came. It was much more exciting than the last time we caught a thief. Everyone's gaze towards him changed instantly; their surprise turned into admiration.

Consequently, opinions about his quitting his job to prepare for the exam also completely changed—

Such a courageous and resourceful person quitting his job to prepare for the college entrance examination is not a waste of time, but rather a sign of ambition and ideals!

With this determination and drive, he might actually get into university.

From now on, you'll be a real college student!

College students...

Yes, this could potentially lead to becoming a college student.

Wang Qin's heart also stirred, and after a moment's hesitation, she said to Wang Anping:

"Anping, you have made a great contribution by assisting in the capture of enemy agents. This is your bravery and also an honor for our Yu'er Hutong Working Group. This matter must be commended."

"We'll organize someone to deliver the certificate of honor to your hospital later."

She then changed the subject and brought up work:

"I've thought about what you just said about resigning. Your situation is special, and we can't follow the usual rules."

"The work at the shelter is tedious and will indeed take up a lot of your study time, but the work group's accounting audits won't take much effort. Besides, each time you audit the accounts and calculate the numbers, you can treat it as a math exercise."

Wang Qin paused for a moment, then stated her thoughts:

"so……"

"We'll keep your job, your employment relationship will remain with the work group, and your seniority will continue to be calculated as usual."

"You don't need to worry about the shelter. From now on, you'll be in charge of auditing the accounts. Just come once a week and make sure the week's accounts are clear."

"Your salary will be calculated based on your recent probation period, which is 22.5 yuan per month."

"If you can get into a university in Beijing, I'll keep your job. We can discuss what happens after graduation."

"Just in case—I mean just in case."

"If you don't pass the exam, you'll still go back to work in the work group, and your salary will remain the same."

"How about this?"

That's fantastic!

Wang Anping wasn't particularly concerned about salary, but being able to keep his job was excellent news.

Moreover, it was within the working group.

In the future, this working group will likely become the street office.

If he really gets into university, he'll be a college student and have connections with the local government, which will make things much easier for him no matter what he does afterward.

"Team Leader Wang, thank you so much!"

"I completely agree with this!"

That's it!

In the end, the matter was resolved in a way that satisfied both parties.

Wang Anping found a way to advance and retreat at will, and the work group also kept Wang Anping, this promising talent.

Regardless of whether he can get into university in the future, right now, he has been commended by the police twice in a row. If this is reported to the district, the district will definitely remember the merit of the working group for cultivating such a comrade.

Even if this kid does get into university, he most likely won't stay in the work group.

That working group also provided the country with high-level talent, which is not only an honor but also a real achievement.

Therefore, Wang Qin was able to make this decision without reporting it to her superiors, thus granting Wang Anping this favor.

Besides that, I also harbored some personal feelings for them.

The work group arrived as soon as Wang Anping arrived in Beijing. Over the course of their time together, they developed a bond of camaraderie.

This young man is down-to-earth, hardworking, smart, and brave; he is indeed a rare and excellent young man.

She is happy to lend a hand and do something convenient for such people.
