Chapter 305 Identity Swap!
Ermao Road:
“Jianguo, your father is out of town now, holding an important position in the city. In terms of rank, he's a vice-minister, right? Why are you still taking exams and suffering? Let your father arrange a job for you, and it will be easy.”
"You think too much!"
Luo Jianguo said helplessly:
“My dad got out, but it was too late. All the good positions outside were gone. He can’t compare to Yuemin’s dad. He’s a vice minister, that’s true, but it’s just a title. It sounds good, but it’s just a nominal position, a job to get rid of people. It’s a retirement position with no real power. Once you’re gone, you’re forgotten. That’s how realistic society is.”
Zhong Yuemin said:
“Jianguo, you have no consideration for your parents at all. Your old man has been in there for so many years, he must have suffered a lot. Now that he’s finally out, to put it bluntly, he’s half-buried in the ground, he should be enjoying his retirement. No change in rank, easy job, good job. Look at my dad now, he’s so busy every day, he’s always on the go, his hair has turned quite gray. If you ask me, it would have been better if he had stayed in there, reading the newspaper, drinking tea, and having a life of worry!”
"You're right about that?"
Luo Jianguo said:
"If all else fails, I'll just stay home and take care of the kids, living off my wife. Anyway, I've been doing this for several years in northern Shaanxi. The food is soft and suits my taste."
Everyone laughed.
In the following days, Luo Jianguo took his wife to various parts of Beijing: parks, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Wangfujing... and the Normal University where she would be enrolling. Yang Wanqing said:
"It is indeed the capital city, it is so big, and there are so many fun places. Jianguo, you are so lucky. You were born in the capital, and you can visit these scenic spots that others can only dream of every day."
"You can do it too, and so can our daughter!"
Luo Jianguo said:
“Strictly speaking, you now have a Beijing hukou (household registration), you're a proper Beijing resident, while I've become a farmer from northern Shaanxi, my hukou is still there. Our identities have been switched, so don't look down on your man.”
"It's too late for me to complain now, I already have a daughter," Yang Wanqing said, going along with his words.
"I heard from Xiaobai that before you were sent to the countryside, you guys, Yuemin, Zheng Tong, Yuan Jun... were all hooligans who caused trouble all the time, harassed young girls, and even went to the police station, right?"
"Don't listen to Xiaobai's nonsense. What do you mean by 'petty hooligan' and 'harassment'?" Luo Jianguo said.
"Our friendship was a revolutionary camaraderie among comrades. In order to deepen our comradeship, we appropriately elevated it from friendship to a closer relationship."
Miss Yang's sharp gaze swept over them.
"So, Comrade Luo, have you ever had a romantic relationship with any female comrade-in-arms? Tell me about your glorious deeds."
"hehe!"
Luo Jianguo chuckled twice.
"Back then we were young, just fooling around, just arguing. Don't be fooled by how knowledgeable we are about men and women; it's all just a facade. When it comes to actually doing something, we back down. We don't have the guts."
"Have you forgotten? Back then, on the haystacks at the Wangjiagou brigade's threshing ground, we talked and whispered sweet nothings for three nights, until eleven or twelve at night. You lay down next to me, and I didn't dare have any improper thoughts. In the end, you couldn't resist and kissed me, right?"
Yang Wanqing couldn't help but smile.
"Who could resist? I felt uncomfortable watching him being so coy and awkward. He just kissed me on the lips and then went back to sleep. I was so tired."
