Jiang Yan felt uncomfortable in his heart and took a sip of wine before saying, "I definitely can't leave now. The factory is still in the construction and development stage. It will probably be a few years before things stabilize, and the organization might transfer me then..."
Liu Yulan was pleased to hear this and said, "It's good you're not leaving. Come over and spend the New Year with us; it's so lonely for you to be alone at the factory." As for later, we'll talk about that when the time comes. For now, it's good that you're not leaving.
They got into the factory thanks to Jiang Yan's connections, so naturally, they hoped he would always be there, as he was their rock, their support.
They had only been at the factory for two months, received their wages, ate state-provided food, and held an iron rice bowl. They heard the factory was also building dormitories, and wondered if they might get allocated a unit.
