~7 min read 1,262 words

Several people present had gone to the county government to find An Dachang to reflect on problems. They recognized An Dachang and hurriedly called out "County Magistrate An." An Dachang also smiled and nodded to greet them.

Su Xinghui smiled and greeted Li Shuqin. Hong Dajun was a bit at a loss. Su Xinghui was not only a deputy county magistrate but also his wife's employer. Now most of the family's income depended on County Magistrate Su. Now that County Magistrate Su had come all of a sudden and seen the family's shameful things, he didn't know what to do.

He hurriedly entered the shed, took out three small stools, and said, "County Magistrate Su, County Magistrate An, County Magistrate Zhu, please sit."

Zhu Tie smiled, "Uncle Hong, don't call me County Magistrate Zhu. Just calling me Tiezi is quite good."

Su Xinghui knew that this Hong Xiaoshan should be the youngest son spoiled by Li Shuqin. He stepped forward and smiled at Hong Xiaoshan, "Your name is Hong Xiaoshan, right?"

Although Hong Xiaoshan was spoiled and dared to be arrogant in front of his parents, he heard that the young man in front of him was a deputy county magistrate, so he still had some fear in his heart. He nodded timidly, "Yes, I am Hong Xiaoshan."

Su Xinghui said, "I just heard that your girlfriend left, and you feel quite uncomfortable, right?"

Hong Xiaoshan nodded, "Yes, I really love her. I can't live without her, but my family is too poor, so she definitely won't like me anymore."

Su Xinghui said, "I understand your feeling very well. Do you know? I also had a broken heart in college. At that time, I also loved that girlfriend very much, and I also thought I couldn't live without her."

Hong Xiaoshan was stunned all of a sudden. County Magistrate Su also had a broken heart in college? The people around also couldn't believe it. Like County Magistrate Su, the girl who dumped him was probably blind, right?

Hong Xiaoshan said, "County Magistrate Su, you must be saying this to comfort me, right?"

Su Xinghui shook his head, "I'm telling the truth. I did have a broken heart, and I was in pain for a long time. But aren't I fine now? I almost can't remember what my former girlfriend looked like. Thinking of the pain at that time, I feel quite funny now. I was too naive at that time."

Hong Xiaoshan was a bit shocked. This was a deputy county magistrate! He also had such an experience?

Su Xinghui's words pulled the distance between him and Hong Xiaoshan closer. Hong Xiaoshan was willing to listen to him. Hong Xiaoshan asked, "County Magistrate Su, what should I do now?"

Su Xinghui said, "If that girl really wants to break up with you because your family is poor, you don't need such a girl. But your family is poor, which is not unchangeable. Hasn't your mother been working hard to make the family's life better? Your father hasn't been idle either. They are all working hard to earn money, wanting to change this situation! They also want you to live a good life!"

Hong Xiaoshan's head lowered all of a sudden. Although he was spoiled, he also had normal human emotions. He naturally knew how hard his parents worked to earn money. He was just acting crazy for a while today. Now that he had calmed down, he knew he had done something wrong.

Su Xinghui continued, "Your parents are working hard, and you can also work hard. You work hard to study, enrich and improve yourself. After graduation, you work hard and work hard to change the family's situation. Isn't that good? Besides, the county also understands the situation of these laid-off workers and is thinking of ways to solve it. Before long, your family's situation will improve significantly. By then, you will definitely feel that your behavior today is also very naive."

Hong Xiaoshan looked up, "County Magistrate Su, I understand. I was wrong."

Su Xinghui smiled, "It's best if you can think this way. As long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to find a good girl to be your wife in the future. Grandpa Feng's words are good, a good man doesn't need to worry about not having a wife?"

Hope appeared in Hong Xiaoshan's eyes. He nodded heavily, "I know."

A gratified expression appeared on Hong Dajun's face. Li Shuqin looked at her son's appearance, and she was almost crying with excitement. She said to Su Xinghui, "County Magistrate Su, thank you!"

Su Xinghui said, "Auntie Li, it's okay. Xiaoshan is still young, and it's normal to be impulsive for a while. You have to talk to him well."

Someone next to him heard Su Xinghui's words just now and couldn't help but ask, "County Magistrate Su, you just said that the county is thinking of ways to solve the problem of us laid-off workers. Is this true?"

Grandpa Feng said, "This matter is absolutely true. Just now, County Magistrate Su and County Magistrate An told us at our house that the county is preparing to solve our problems."

Grandma Feng said, "Yes, it is said that the retirement pension of our retired employees will also be reissued."

Several old men and old women asked happily, "Is that so? Can the several county magistrates tell us which aspects of the problems can be solved?"

At the strong request of everyone, Su Xinghui, An Dachang, and Zhu Tie sat on the small stools and began to tell everyone what they had just told Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng.

Everyone was overjoyed after hearing what they said. The county finally thought of them, these laid-off workers!

These people were like children who had lost their mothers. No one had cared about them for these years. Now it was like the children had finally found their mothers, and some were so excited that they cried.

Such a situation was also within Su Xinghui's expectation. These laid-off workers had suffered for so many years. It would be strange if they weren't excited after hearing such good news all of a sudden.

Many people said, "County Magistrate Su, County Magistrate An, County Magistrate Zhu, thank you. If you can really solve our difficulties this time, we are willing to kowtow and kneel to you!"

Su Xinghui said, "Everyone, don't do this. It's a new society now, and that set of things is not popular. Alright, we'll go back first today. If you want to be a sanitation worker, have skills, want to open a shop yourself, or want to apply for public rental housing, you can all go to the county government to register."

Everyone nodded repeatedly. Li Shuqin said, "County Magistrate Su, County Magistrate An, County Magistrate Zhu, you should eat at our house this afternoon. There is food at home today."

Hong Dashan said, "Yes, there is food at home. Stay and have a good drink."

They really had food at home today. Originally, they were entertaining the future daughter-in-law. Who knew that the daughter-in-law left after eating lunch? There were still many dishes left, and they were all good dishes. They were indeed sincerely wanting to keep the several county magistrates to drink at home.

Su Xinghui smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Hong, Auntie Li, I still have to go home to take care of my wife."

Li Shuqin nodded, "Right, Xiaoya is still at home. Then I will go back with you. Anyway, Xiaoshan's girlfriend has left."
