Therefore, the people who issued permission slips were very strict and the only exceptions were when someone in the family was seriously ill or there were other emergencies.

However, if the applicant was a small supervisor in the factory, since they were all management level, they would be willing to cut them some slack and probably wouldn’t refuse.

For example, Yu Yan’s parents were both cadres. She didn’t want to go back, but her family had the ability to help her go back.

Therefore, Yu Yan was very puzzled when she heard this. “Your father is a workshop director, so he should be able to handle it. You didn’t go back last year either.”

!!

Yao Nian revealed a helpless expression. “My father’s principle is to do things through legitimate methods and serve the people wholeheartedly. However, the person in charge of writing the permission slip is selfish and likes to abuse his power. He’s different from my father. The two of them are arch-enemies, so it’s quite difficult for me to go back.”

When Yu Yan heard this explanation, she assumed it was why Yao Nian was so poor. She patted Yao Nian’s arm comfortingly and looked at him with sympathy. “Then I’ll bring you more delicious food this time.”

Yao Nian was secretly happy, but he still maintained an indifferent expression. “The most important thing for you is to take care of yourself. You’re not in good health now, so go home for the new year and see if your parents can transfer you back to the city. I’m very worried that you won’t be able to hold on after the new year.”

This time, Yu Yan didn’t refute Yao Nian’s persuasion and lowered her eyes to think about Yao Nian’s suggestion. Yao Nian smiled smugly.

The two of them, who were immersed in their own schemes, didn’t notice that two pairs of eyes were watching them.

Yu Bing and Jiang Chun took turns riding their bicycles against the wind. The cold winter wind hurt their faces and when the cold air entered their bodies, they felt as if ice had entered their lungs. Then, the two of them wrapped their scarves around their heads and only revealed their eyes in order to look at the road.

She smiled and raised her hand to wave as she took the initiative to greet him. “What a coincidence. 00:22

We’re actually in the same bus.”

Yu Bing was very familiar with the doorman of the commune. When she parked the bicycle in the commune and went out, she happened to see the public bus coming. After squeezing in, she realized that Yao Nian and Yu Yan were standing beside her.

The two of them didn’t want to listen. However, their voices were right beside their ears,.

Although the car window was wide open and the wind blew in, there were many people in the car. Yu Bing and Jiang Chun were squeezed so hard that they were sweating. The two of them took off their scarves and held them in their hands.

After the bus stopped, Yao Nian turned around and saw Yu Bing and Jiang Chun behind him. His eyes instantly widened.

Yu Bing had only seen this once in her two lifetimes. Seeing the panic in Yao Nian’s eyes, she was amused and wanted to scare him.

She smiled and raised her hand to wave as she took the initiative to greet him. “What a coincidence. We’re actually in the same bus.”

With that, she turned around and followed the crowd out of the bus.

Yao Nian was still in a daze as he looked at Yu Bing’s back.

Yu Yan assumed that Yao Nian was still thinking about arranged marriage. However, she didn’t blame Yao Nian. She only felt that Yu Bing wanted to ruin things when she saw the two of them being intimate. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to smile and greet Yao Nian.

Yu Yan immediately got out of the bus. When Yao Nian saw Yu Yan chasing after Yu Bing, he was so frightened that he hurriedly chased after her.

It wasn’t easy for him to convince Yu Yan to think of returning to the city. If Yu Bing revealed that he had lied to her at this critical moment, with Yu Yan’s vain personality, she might dump him as her boyfriend. Then, all his efforts would be in vain!

Yu Yan caught up to Yu Bing and scolded loudly, “Yu Bing, why are you so shameless?! You seduced Yao Nian in front of me just now? I’m gonna report you!”

After lunch, many people in the county city came out to stroll around, so the streets were bustling. When they saw someone arguing, they stopped in their tracks to watch.

Before Yu Bing could respond, Jiang Chun pushed Yu Yan in displeasure. “Are you crazy?! We’re all intellectuals from the same village. Is there a problem with greeting each other in the bus? Did they talk about something shameful? If you’re so paranoid, buy a chain and lock him at home, so he’ll listen to whatever you say. This way, you won’t have to worry.”
