Qin Shouren, the man who had been sent down, was returning to the city, which astonished the entire village. It turned out that those sent down for reformation could return to the city. It was said that Mr. Qin was an official; could it be that Qin Shouren would also become an official upon his return?
The Qin Family was surrounded and observed for several days.
Finally, when no one was around, Qin Shouren found Mr. Li and expressed his gratitude. Li Xianglu was puzzled and opened her eyes wide, wondering what was going on and how it involved Grandpa.
During the conversation, Li Xianglu came to understand that Mr. Qin had only one spot to return to the city, acquired through Mr. Li's special contributions. Yet, Mr. Qin had two sons sent down, and only one could return.
What Mr. Li did here was write to his former comrades asking them to speak to Mr. Qin about his younger son's living conditions here and some past events.
