Qin Shouren, who had been sent down to the countryside, was going to return to the city, which surprised the whole village. It turned out that people who had been sent down to the countryside for reform could return to the city. It was heard that the old man of the Qin family was an official, so would Qin Shouren also have to be an official when he returned?

For a while, the Qin family was surrounded by people for several days.

Finally, when no one was around, Qin Shouren found the old man and thanked him. Li Xianglu opened her eyes wide in confusion. What was going on? Why was it related to grandpa?

During the conversation, Li Xianglu finally understood that the old man of the Qin family only had one quota to return to the city, which was obtained because of the old man's special contribution. However, the old man had two sons who were demoted, so only one could come back.

The role played by Mr. Li here is to write letters to his former comrades and friends, asking them to help tell the old man of the Qin family about his youngest son's living environment here and some things that happened in the past.

In addition, the old man's comrades-in-arms all hold high positions, and the old man of the Qin family is also weighing which son would be more useful if he returned. The youngest son can know people in such positions to intercede for him, so at least this social circle is worth his consideration.

So the old man of the Qin family did not hesitate any more and directly transferred his youngest son back to his old job. Of course, he was given a high position as the chief surgeon of a hospital in the capital.

Qin Shouren excitedly drank half a bottle of Moutai, and finished all the wine that his grandfather had stolen from Grandpa Lan last time. If Qin Shouren had not been in a complicated mood and drank too much, Grandpa Li would definitely be angry. He usually couldn't bear to drink this little bit of wine, but this brat actually drank it all in one go.

Qin Xi helplessly helped his father back home, while Li Xianglu curiously asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, why can't Qin Xi and the others go back?"

Grandpa Li shook the bottle reluctantly before saying, "Qin Xi is just 18 years old this year, and Qin Zhen is just over 15 years old. What can they do if they go back? Even if they go back, their household registration can't be transferred back, and there is no food ration. It's better to wait for an opportunity here."

Li Xianglu was stunned. If the adult goes back, the child will be in trouble?
The household registration management at that time was different from that in later generations. Not everyone could transfer their household registration. They needed work or study relationships. Furthermore, Qin Xi and Qin Zhen were at the right age to go to the countryside. If they went back, they would probably be selected to go to the countryside as well. It was better for them to stay where they were and wait for an opportunity.

The next morning, Li Xianglu got up, washed her face, and spent a long time combing her long hair. Seeing that the hair was still flying all over the place, she ignored it, tied an apron on, boiled a pot of water, and then watered the potatoes in the yard before preparing to make breakfast.

However, the sound of a young girl crying came from the next room. Her voice was extremely miserable, as if she had been beaten by someone.

When Mr. Li heard the noise, he stopped boxing and walked out of the house. Li Xianglu threw a handful of millet into the pot and followed him out.

At this time, seven or eight people had gathered in the Qin family's yard, and in the middle of the yard, a young girl was kneeling, standing straight in the middle of the yard and crying miserably: "Second uncle, please, give the quota to my father, he is sick, and there are no good medical conditions in Beize Province. Second uncle, please, I don't want to lose my father."
