Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Classmate Wang Xiaohua, I hope we stay in touch often from now on!"

There is no feast that does not end.

Gu Wenqing was going back to school.

And Wang Xiaohua was also about to go report to the county government.

These days Gu Wenqing had collected a lot of material; she felt that once she went back, she would definitely be able to write a literary work reflecting the real situation!

Her mind was full of all kinds of ideas, all kinds of inspiration; she could hardly wait to start writing.

"Teacher Gu, wishing you a smooth journey!"

Wang Xiaohua saw Gu Wenqing off to the county town's bus station and bought a long-distance bus ticket for her.

"Passengers on bus Yue R2349 bound for Guangzhou, please proceed to the ticket gate to check in and board; your bus has arrived!"

The broadcast sounded in the bus station hall.

Gu Wenqing waved goodbye to Wang Xiaohua, then turned and walked into the ticket gate.

She boarded the long-distance bus, found her seat and sat down, feeling that this trip had truly been rich and colorful, letting her gain a lot of knowledge, even witnessing life-and-death partings.

Li Yuncui's death had dealt a deep shock to her heart, and also made her think more deeply about how a village woman could control her own fate.

The day after Gu Wenqing left, Wang Xiaohua went to report to the municipal organization department.

Originally this step, in previous years, had to be done before the end of July.

But this year, for some reason, the municipal organization department specifically called Wang Xiaohua, saying the reporting time would be postponed, pushed to August 8th.

Wang Xiaohua prepared all kinds of documents:

Graduation certificate, degree certificate, ID card, employment notice, Party and Youth League organizational relations introduction letter, file acceptance letter, and so on.

Then he went to the place designated by the city to report.

There he met many young people who were also selected graduates.

Everyone was full of vigor and vitality; their mental outlook was very good.

At that time the civil service exam wasn't that popular yet; capable people all wanted to start businesses or go to big factories.

So very few people were willing to take the exam for this kind of remote mountainous area selected graduate position.

After all, a five-year grassroots service period, and also stipulating that during the period one could not be seconded to a higher-level unit — just this one regulation would make many fresh graduates completely averse.

After all, the five years after graduation are the most critical five years of one's life.

So those willing to come here either had their paths arranged by their families, or were like Wang Xiaohua, full of youthful passion.

After verification of materials, signing the service agreement, then in a large conference room, Wang Xiaohua and the many selected graduates together listened to the organization's arrangements and held a collective meeting.

Then came post assignment.

So-called post assignment, actually for someone like Wang Xiaohua, the higher-ups had already consulted his opinion in advance.

Otherwise the people on the county side couldn't possibly have known that Wang Xiaohua wanted to go to the county.

But the procedures that should be gone through still had to be gone through.

Here it was mainly based on scores to choose county/district.

The highest score chooses first.

So Wang Xiaohua came out to choose first.

Wang Xiaohua didn't hesitate much and chose his home county.

That was one of the poorest counties in the entire city.

The leader in charge of this work, after Wang Xiaohua chose, even specially praised Wang Xiaohua publicly, calling on everyone to take Wang Xiaohua as a model, to choose to go to the poorest places, the places most needing the Party's help and support, to contribute a meager bit of strength!

But although it was said like that.

The people choosing afterward mostly still chose the more economically developed counties/districts.

The result was that the first-place scorer Wang Xiaohua and the last-place scorer Liu Yumeng actually chose the same place.

"Classmate Wang Xiaohua, I'm Liu Yumeng!"

Liu Yumeng took the initiative to come greet Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Xiaohua smiled politely:

"Hello, hello."

Liu Yumeng said with a smile:

"From now on we're colleagues, please take care of me!"

Wang Xiaohua said courteously:

"Certainly, certainly; let's exchange ideas more, communicate more, and together serve the people!"

Liu Yumeng couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing:

"Your spirit of dedication is truly rare! I had no choice but to go to that impoverished county; you, on the other hand, had plenty of good places to pick but insisted on choosing that godforsaken place!"

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"That's my hometown; my purpose in coming back is to help my hometown shake off poverty and become prosperous!"

Liu Yumeng said with a smile:

"It's great that you have this idea; go for it!"

After reporting at the city level, an introduction letter was issued for each selected graduate to the County Party Committee Organization Department.

Wang Xiaohua and Liu Yumeng, holding their introduction letters, went together with several other people assigned to the same county town to the County Party Committee Organization Department to register and be recorded.

Then came the second round of position assignments.

This time it needed to be specific to townships, streets, and specific posts.

The person responsible for this assignment was unexpectedly Deputy County Magistrate Xiao Xueqing.

Xiao Xueqing was not surprised at all by Wang Xiaohua's arrival.

After all, this top scorer returning to his hometown to develop had been circulating throughout the county government for half a month already.

Everyone attached great importance to this top scorer.

In the past, the parachute faction and the local faction would inevitably engage in open and covert struggles, but this time regarding Wang Xiaohua's arrival, opinions were surprisingly unanimous: wherever Wang Xiaohua wanted to go, they would arrange for him to go there, and do their best to protect this seedling.

After all, for this impoverished county town to get such a talent was truly not easy.

"Wang Xiaohua, which township do you want to work in?"

Xiao Xueqing sought out Wang Xiaohua alone and questioned him.

Wang Xiaohua said without hesitation:

"Shangang Town!"

Xiao Xueqing was stunned, a trace of surprise appearing on her face:

"Shangang Town is the poorest and most remote township in this county, you'd better think it over!"

She thought Wang Xiaohua would choose a township near the county town, so it would be relatively close to the county town center, not only more convenient for daily life, but also closer to the county government's leadership team, able to pave the way for his future.

She never expected Wang Xiaohua would actually want to go serve in that mountain pass of Shangang Town.

But on second thought, Xiao Xueqing felt it was only natural.

After all, that was Wang Xiaohua's hometown.

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"I came precisely for Shangang Town, that's my hometown, it would be best if I could be assigned to Shanggou Village!"

Xiao Xueqing, however, said:

"To be assigned to Shanggou Village, I'm afraid that won't work."

Wang Xiaohua was stunned:

"Why, is there some restriction?"

Xiao Xueqing explained with a smile: "Now the merger of villages and towns has already been carried out, Shanggou Village and several other villages have been merged together into the Changjiang Village Committee, so at most you can only go to the Changjiang Village Committee!"

Wang Xiaohua suddenly realized:

"So that's how it is, then I'll go to the Changjiang Village Committee."

Not long after, the position assignments came down.

Wang Xiaohua was indeed assigned to Shangang Town, to do grassroots poverty alleviation work, with the main targets being several villages under the Changjiang Village Committee.

Wang Xiaohua took the township reporting introduction letter issued by the county town Organization Department, reported to the Party and Government Office of Shangang Town, and handed over the introduction letter, personnel file, and organizational relations.

Then came the entry formalities, and then the position assignment.

Because above, Xiao Xueqing had already given the town government side a heads-up.

So Wang Xiaohua got his wish and was assigned into the Rural Revitalization Office, which was the former Poverty Alleviation Office.

Core responsibilities: Dynamic Monitoring to Prevent Return to Poverty; declaration, implementation, and acceptance of Rural Revitalization Projects; assistance, file management, and data management for poor households and monitored households, etc.

Additionally, the Rural Revitalization Office also established a Resident Work Team, whose main task is daily management of paired assistance.
