Chapter 76: Shared Joys and Sorrows... Taking care of her, cherishing her
Song Wenbin's application for a job transfer went smoothly. Perhaps, as Jiang Shouping had suggested, someone higher up was eagerly anticipating his early departure, clearing the way for a vacant position. Shortly after submitting his transfer request, he received approval.
During this time, the results of Xu Hengzhou's job interview for recruitment also came out. In every aspect, he stood out as the most outstanding among the new employees entering the machinery factory. Based on their respective education and abilities, this group of new workers was assigned to various departments within the machinery factory.
Xu Hengzhou, along with two other high school students, was assigned to study in the factory committee and trade union. In other words, barring any surprises, after completing the training period, Xu Hengzhou should be assigned to the trade union or factory committee, wielding influence with a pen.
Song Wenbin was overjoyed. He was about to leave, and with his eldest nephew securing a job, he felt a bit more at ease with his departure.
Families that were close to the Song family came to congratulate them upon hearing the news. Of course, the news of Song Wenbin's departure had already spread. This time, Zhong Ping didn't come, and everyone had various speculations. Song Wenbin had rejected Zhong Ping several times, and the neighbors who had witnessed it assumed that Zhong Ping had given up. After all, with Song Wenbin leaving, he was crossing more than half of the country, making it difficult to maintain contact in the future.
As this wonderful couple dispersed like this, everyone felt a sense of regret. People usually spoke cautiously around Song Wenbin, fearing to touch upon any of his heartaches.
After Xu Hengzhou entered the factory, he interacted mainly with Song Wenbin's former colleagues and superiors. They, in a way, were Xu Hengzhou's uncles and elders, showing him much care. Xu Hengzhou's work was relatively easy with their support.
Not long after Xu Hengzhou entered the factory, Song Wenbin received his transfer notice. He began packing his bags in preparation to leave.
Xiang Chen had cried in his blanket for several nights but, during the day, assisted Song Wenbin in packing without showing any sign of sorrow. In reality, if they were to pack efficiently, it wouldn't take more than a few days. However, Song Wenbin noticed Xiang Chen's swollen eyes every morning and couldn't bear to leave so soon.
But regardless of the delay, departure was inevitable. Xiang Chen wished he could stuff himself into the luggage for his uncle to take him away.
Before leaving, Song Wenbin gave most of his savings to Xu Hengzhou. Xu Hengzhou hesitated to accept, but Song Wenbin insisted, placing the money in his hands and advising with a bitter smile, "You've never been to the northwest, and you don't understand the situation there. I've been there before, to be honest, taking money there is not very useful. It's too desolate. You should keep the money, and if you have the chance, buy some useful things and send them to me."
Even in the future, the development of the northwest region couldn't compare to the central and eastern parts of the country. At this time, the area was vast with few people, and consequently, resources were particularly scarce.
Song Wenbin's words were half true and half false. In the Northwest, money indeed may not be as useful as goods, but it's not entirely useless. With enough money, one can always acquire what they need. Song Wenbin said this out of concern for Xu Hengzhou, who had just started working and now had to support Xiang Chen. He didn't want it to be too difficult for him.
