There actually were not many people who would run. Without permission slips, they couldn't go anywhere, but people had escaped before. As long as they were not discovered by the patrols on the street, who would know that you were an intellectual who had moved to the countryside?
Therefore, the people who issued permission slips were very strict and the only exceptions were when someone in the family was seriously ill or there were other emergencies.
However, if the applicant was a small supervisor in the factory, since they were all management level, they would be willing to cut them some slack and probably wouldn't refuse.
For example, Yu Yan's parents were both cadres. She didn't want to go back, but her family had the ability to help her go back.
Therefore, Yu Yan was very puzzled when she heard this. "Your father is a workshop director, so he should be able to handle it. You didn't go back last year either."
