"That's good, just stay there and don't worry about anything else. Everything is fine at home."

The two talked for a long time, as if the phone call was free, until Su Ti felt as if there was someone lingering behind him, probably waiting to call him, so he hung up reluctantly.

"Um... hello comrade, are you an educated youth who went to the countryside?" Su Ti was about to pay the fee when he was stopped by someone behind him.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Su Ti saw that he was wearing work clothes and had a bag under his arm, and it was obvious that he had a formal job.

"Can I ask where you are from?" The man's eyes lit up when he heard her say that.

"What do you want to do?" Su Ti frowned, making sure that he didn't know this person.

"Comrade, don't misunderstand me. The truth is, I'm from the county's Propaganda Department. This time I came to Lanshan Commune to inspect the propaganda work there."

"I am not very satisfied with the propaganda slogans and posters between the various teams. I have reported the situation to the leadership, but this work cannot be completed in one or two days."

"The propaganda work cannot be stopped. The comrades in the county town all have families and it is not appropriate for them to be sent here."

"I'm having a hard time figuring out how to resolve this issue. I was planning to call home and ask them to wait two days before returning."

"I just overheard your conversation with your family. I can tell you are a well-educated comrade. Can you draw those?"

The man was obviously desperate and was trying every possible means. If he couldn't complete the job well, he would probably have to stay here.

He couldn't stay in this remote place for even a day, and he couldn't find a suitable person for the job.

It's rare to find people here who have attended high school, let alone those who have learned painting.

I just heard her talking on the phone about foreign exchange bills and milk powder bills.

I could tell at first glance that she was not a child from an ordinary family, but I didn't know how she came to the countryside. When I heard her admit that she was an educated youth, I felt that she had more chances.

"You want me to work in the Propaganda Department? I'm an educated youth who went to the countryside." Su Ti was stunned. Her first reaction was that this man was a liar.

"Yes... and no, you are still an educated youth, but we are paid by non-staff personnel."

That person knew that the educated youth’s household registration was in the brigade, and they couldn’t go anywhere without a letter of introduction.

Besides, he doesn't have the authority to recruit workers. Formal workers are definitely not acceptable, but it is okay to find help from the brigade.

Every time a promotional activity is assigned, a sum of money will be approved from above, which is enough to pay salaries.

Suti understood that it was just a title of the Propaganda Department, but there would be money to be made.

"Will you issue a certificate? If I do these things, I definitely won't be able to do farm work. I have to make it clear with the team."

Su Ti didn't care whether this man was lying to her or not. If he could really issue a certificate, she would do it.

That way she wouldn't have to work in the fields, and she hadn't thought about drawing propaganda slogans and posters.

Even if she is not professional, her handwriting is definitely better than those captains in various brigades who write crookedly.

"Of course. If you agree, I will report it to the higher-ups. I will communicate with your team and will not make things difficult for you."

"Comrade, tell me which brigade you are in and your name, and I will come to you soon."

When the man heard that there was a chance, he hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his bag and carefully wrote down the name of Suti's brigade.

Su Ti felt that this person was unreliable. Even if he couldn't find a suitable one in the commune, there were many educated youth in the team who had good handwriting.

As for painting, you can find it by asking around. How could such a good thing possibly belong to her?

He didn't take the matter seriously. He paid the money and left. Wei Baichuan must have been waiting anxiously outside.

"Wife, what did you say to grandpa? Did he talk about me?" Wei Baichuan was indeed very anxious outside.

He felt that he should say hello to his grandfather and the others, for he was afraid that he would leave a bad impression on others.

"Don't worry, my parents like you very much, and grandpa will like you too. He even asked about you and knew that you were out looking for something. He also asked me to take you back during the New Year."

Su Ti knew what Wei Baichuan was worried about. Her grandparents were just like her mother and others. As long as she liked it, they would not have any objections.

As for what grandpa said, don't say it to scare Wei Baichuan, he is timid.

"That's good. I was just afraid that grandpa would think I was impolite." Wei Baichuan knew that his wife would definitely speak for him.

"By the way, I met someone just now." Su Ti and Wei Baichuan walked out of the post office and told Wei Baichuan what the person who claimed to be from the Propaganda Department had said.

One listens, the other tells, their backs are far apart, but love rises with the wind, and the happiness that penetrates into the bones cannot be stopped.

Su Ti likes this kind of sharing of everything, and the feeling that the two of them are inseparable. She knows how inferior Wei Baichuan is.

It's understandable that she doesn't like this. She wants to slowly bring him over. He is her lover and the one she wants to be with for the rest of her life.

So what if the family backgrounds don’t match, the love is equal.

"Wife, if it's true, you must agree. That way you won't have to work in the fields." Wei Baichuan was worrying about the autumn harvest.

During the rush to harvest, everyone has to help. In the past, the team leader would turn a blind eye to those who were lazy while collecting grass for pigs or had too much labor at home.

The autumn harvest is not going to work because there is too much rain here and they are afraid that only half of the grain will be harvested when the rainy season comes.

Once the autumn harvest begins, all team members must work together, and anyone who dares to be lazy will be criticized.

Of course, in order to encourage everyone, the maximum work points for men are 10 and for women are 8. During the autumn harvest, men can earn 12 work points and women can earn 10 work points.

This is a good thing for many families. With more work points, they can get not only food and money but also meat at the end of the year.

But for Wei Baichuan, he didn't care about those at all. He would rather go to the mountains to hunt and sell for money and take risks than let his wife suffer.

"I thought so too, but it's not that easy. There are many educated youth in each brigade, and only our brigade has someone who can play the accordion."

Su Ti was just talking to Wei Baichuan, she didn't think this would work at all.

She had also experienced the rush to harvest in the brigade, and she could get through it by just enduring it.

"If this doesn't work, we can find something else." This incident reminded Wei Baichuan that if it really didn't work, he could also find a comfortable job for his wife.

Those who are recording work points in the team can do so. Go back and have a good talk with the team leader. The branch secretary will definitely have no objection.

Even other people in the brigade still need to be discussed.

Fortunately, Wei Changgen is no longer the team leader, otherwise even if the family split up, he would have plenty of ways to make things difficult for them.

When Su Ti and Wei Baichuan returned to the team, they learned that something had happened in the team.
