Chapter 793 Positive
The next day, when the villagers and educated youth of Shanghe Village gathered at the grain drying field, many people learned about Han Li's return yesterday through conversation, and some even planned to go over and say hello.
But they did not notice that Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying, who used to come early, had not come today, and they did not know that Han Li, who was afraid of trouble, was already riding his bicycle to the county town.
After Han Li returned to the county town, he called his family and the Yun sisters on the first day and urged them to study hard.
In the next few days, Han Li resumed his previous life, going to work, going home, preparing medicinal materials, reading, drinking tea, practicing calligraphy, and occasionally being invited out for a small gathering. When Zhang Chaomei came to his house, he pulled her to discuss life in depth. In short, he lived quite comfortably.
But today, not long after Han Li left the unit and returned home, Ma Runping and Liu Liyan came.
"Han Li, we are here."
"Isn't it autumn harvest now? What are you two doing in the county? Is there something urgent?"
When Han Li asked Ma Runping, they looked unhappy after remembering the purpose of their visit. Liu Liyan said with some frustration.
"Han Li, it's like this. Two days ago, I received a letter from a classmate who was sent to work in the countryside in South China. She said that she was originally selected for factory recruitment this year, but was rejected at the last stage of review.
My classmate's family has no problems for several generations. She was not satisfied with the result, so she kept looking up. Finally, the answer given by the county youth office where she worked was that she was punished for going to the city without permission that year."
Han Li heard something here, and Ma Runping continued to say at the side.
"We went there that year, too. Han Li, do you think we would also be punished? Will we be rejected if we go to school or get a job in the future?"
"I don't know about that either?"
"Han Li, we couldn't eat or sleep these two days because of this news. Can you help us check it out? If we were punished, are there any remedial measures?"
It was not too difficult for Han Li to check this matter, but what to do next was the most difficult. He thought about it seriously and said.
"Although I am the vice president now, I have been in office for too short a time, and I am not a local, so I can only try my best to help you check this matter. If you are really punished, it will be very difficult to remedy it."
When Han Li said this, Ma Runping and the others looked even more depressed. Han Li could only tell them that he would try his best to help, and at the same time asked them to work hard and strive to win extra points on this. He also asked them to read books and study hard, because some positions attach great importance to culture, and at that time, this matter of theirs could easily be overlooked, etc.
Under such circumstances, Ma Runping and Liu Liyan were not in the mood to stick with Han Li. After being persuaded by him, they returned to Shanghe Village.
However, the two of them really listened to Han Li's advice. After returning, they changed their previous attitude of getting work points. They worked as much as possible and earned more work points every day.
The next day, Han Li went to the Youth Office to find Aunt Liu. He took the files of Ma Runping and Liu Liyan and saw that what they said was true. This matter would make them lose the qualification to take the exam this year.
Han Li thought of their attitude like little fans towards him and tried to ask.
"Aunt Liu, is there any way to make up for their record?"
"Why? Do you have a good relationship with them?"
"It's a little better than the relationship between ordinary friends. They only knew about this after receiving a letter from their classmates, so they asked me to check it out. Now that I see this situation, I want to ask if I can help them. If it's not easy to help, I won't get myself involved."
When Aunt Liu first heard that Han Li wanted to help these two people, she thought that Han Li had some kind of relationship with these two girls. After hearing his last sentence, she realized that she was overthinking.
"It's hard and easy for them to deal with this. The hard part is to directly remove the demerit from the file, but the sequelae are too great. Once someone finds out and reports it, a long list of people will be implicated."
"What's easy?"
"It's easy to let them work hard. Being rated as an educated youth activist is enough to offset this small demerit. They will have no problem going to school or getting a job in the future."
"Aunt Liu, is this activist from the village or the county?"
"It's not okay if it's from the village. At least it has to be from the commune."
Aunt Liu's previous words opened Han Li's mind, and the latter words directly killed his idea of taking a shortcut from Village Chief Zhao.
Although the activist matter was not difficult, Han Li didn't have anyone he knew in Hongqi Commune, so it was a bit inappropriate to go to Niu Dahai for this matter.
After Han Li came out of the educated youth office, he went back to Shanghe Village in the evening of the same day. At this time, He Mi and Hou Yuhua had almost moved their things in. They just had to wait for the day when the village took over the breeding of Feilong to find someone to carry the cabinets and other large items.
While Han Li asked Hou Yuhua to call Ma Runping and Liu Liyan, he held He Mi and talked to her in private for a while, and also talked about this matter.
After Ma Runping and the others came, Han Li took them to the south room and told them about the situation. Only when the two were very depressed did they mention the activist matter.
But Ma Runping and the others were not stupid. With so many educated youth in Shanghe Village, it would be difficult for them to be awarded the honor of educated youth activists based on their usual performance. So they hugged Han Li's arm and rocked back and forth, asking him to help them think of a solution.
Han Li could only say that he had done his best and sent them away for the time being. After dinner, he had a good time with He Mi.
In the evening, he still went to check Hao Hongmin's recent homework. He returned to the county town early the next day.
After Han Li arrived at the unit, he thought of Du Yonghong, who was promoted to deputy section chief of the Personnel Department by him. Once when they were chatting, she seemed to have said that the second in command of Hongqi Commune was her second aunt's cousin, so he asked someone to call Du Yonghong over and confirmed this situation.
Han Li tactfully said that he wanted Du Yonghong to go to the commune to help apply for two certificates of educated youth activists. Du Yonghong immediately agreed to visit her second aunt's cousin's house after get off work today to see what was needed to apply for the certificate.
But what Han Li didn't expect was that the next day, Du Yonghong gave him a definite answer, saying that his second aunt's cousin had long wanted to meet Han Li, and that they could have a meal together when they had time, and that it would be easy to talk about the issue of educated youth activists.
