Chapter 137 Yue Zheng and Qian Gaoyun

"Then come back to the brigade headquarters with me and take Yue Zhiqing home to make arrangements. Xiaoyue, take a rest this afternoon and see if you're still missing anything. If you have any questions, ask Qingli, or come to the brigade headquarters to find me. Make a list of what you need and we'll look in the warehouse first. If we don't have it ready, we'll find another way.

You are here to help our farmers, to work for us, to contribute to our cause, and we can guarantee your basic living needs. Although the conditions aren't as good as in the city, the people here are very nice, and we guarantee that you will be treated the same as our fellow members."

Yue Zheng smiled and said, "This is already very good. I can continue my research and do what I can for the countryside. And everyone is so enthusiastic. Don't worry, I will do my best."

Xiao Xie has already told me that once you come here, you'll work in the fields during the day, attend night school at night, and do some research when you have time. We'll go wherever we're needed and do whatever's needed. We all have one goal: to build Liushutun."

Yan Guixiang: “…”

Wang Qingli: “…”

Oh my god! She shouldn’t be called Xie Binbin, she should be called Zhou Paopi.

With everyone's help, Yue Zheng successfully settled down in Liushutun.

The household registration of educated youth who went to the countryside moved with them.

Liushutun established a collective household for the educated youth who went to the countryside. The head of the household was Sun Liwei, the first educated youth to go to the countryside. He was the first to register his household. Yue Zheng and subsequent educated youth would all be registered in this collective household.

In the evening, I attend night school.

Yan Dongsheng showed Yue Zheng around the night school's offices, library, and laboratories. "Although the conditions are a bit shabby, the overall atmosphere here is excellent. Everyone supports my research, and no matter what I say, they try their best to help. They're also afraid that I'm feeling pressured, so they told me to just do my best. This research institute was officially approved by the commune and was established not long ago. Zhengzheng, it's great to have you here. I'm confident that we can make some breakthroughs."

Yue Zheng smiled and said, "I believe you. You are my father's most proud student. Before I came here, the person in charge of military control at the cadre school went to the school and took away all of my father's research materials. He said he would take them back to the cadre school and ask my father to replace the damaged parts. Then he sent the materials here. The materials from other departments will also be sent here."

"Brother, there are still many kind people in this world. We must make good use of the information, live up to the support of these kind people, and return the favor by producing research results. My father would be very happy if he knew we could still work undisturbed at this time. He would be even happier if he knew we could achieve research results."

"Yes. I will definitely try my best. Zheng Zheng, I am very happy to work with you."

"Me too."

The two smiled at each other, and Yue Zheng suddenly said: "If the Xiongnu are not destroyed, how can we have a home?"

Yan Dongsheng: “…”

It seems that Xiao Xie has instilled in Zheng Zheng the ideas of late marriage and late childbirth, and career first, and Zheng Zheng has successfully accepted them.

Well, if he can't produce any research results, he will have to be single for the rest of his life.

Yan Dongsheng, come on! Work hard!

Yue Zheng moved into the same room with Qian Gaoyun that night, and the two chatted all night long.

Qian Gaoyun told Yue Zheng about the glorious deeds of the Qingli sisters in their fight against their parents, and said with emotion, "I was drawn to this village the moment I arrived. I originally wanted to go to the most difficult places and didn't want to come here. It was Secretary He from the county who persuaded me to come. I soon realized that I had made the right choice. Every day here is fulfilling and happy."

Yue Zheng smiled and said, "I can see that you are full of joy."

"hey-hey."

Yue Zheng asked Qian Gaoyun, "When Director Yan told me I could live at Comrade Hua Qing's house, you seemed very excited. Why?"

"Of course I'm excited. That's Aunt Huaqing. She's the guardian of Liushu Village."

Yue Zheng: “…Huh?”

"In Liushu Village, the largest family used to be surnamed Wang. They belonged to Aunt Huaqing. Her name was Wang Huaqing, and the entire village's land belonged to her. When the Japanese invaded, the Wang family organized people to fight against them. Aunt Huaqing's father and two brothers all died. Before he died, Aunt Huaqing's father divided up all the land and asked the villagers to take care of his wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, and grandson because he had not bullied or harmed anyone over the years.

Not long after, Aunt Huaqing's mother passed away. Her sister-in-law remarried, and Aunt Huaqing donated her large house to become the village primary school. She raised her nephew alone, supporting his college education and settling down in the city. She remained in the village, guarding the land.

Let me tell you, all the members of Liushutun used to eat at Aunt Huaqing's house. Qingli told me that the friendly atmosphere towards women here is largely due to Aunt Huaqing. She was the first to call for fighting the Japanese invaders. She even lost her family in the fight. Everyone remembers her kindness.

Of course, it’s also because we have a good women’s director like Director Yan.”

Qian Gaoyun was not really stupid. She lowered her voice when she spoke these words. Although the atmosphere in Liushu Village was upright, she still instinctively did not dare to speak loudly about the fact that the Huaqing family used to be landlords.

After she finished, she warned Yue Zheng: "Don't say anything when you go out. If you say anything, you will be making enemies with all the members of Liushutun. Aunt Huaqing's land was divided, and the money was used to fight the Japanese. The whole family is loyal and brave, but they were also poor peasants when the class status was determined. Aunt Huaqing works in the fields every day and is more capable than me. She even has bound feet, but she can still get full work points. We good girls with big feet have no reason not to work hard! I will definitely work hard!"

Yue Zheng: “…”

I wouldn’t know if you didn’t tell me!

She smiled and said, "I know. Aunt Huaqing was a poor peasant, and I was still a poor boy. My father is a university professor, and my mother works in the Ministry of Agriculture. They are both working in cadre schools, different cadre schools at that. My father is in the suburbs of Beijing, and my mother went to the south. I don't know how they are doing now."

Qian Gaoyun: "..."

After thinking for two seconds, she said, "Why don't you write to them? The cadre school isn't isolated from the world. Tell them that you miss them, that you can't live without them, and that you look forward to reuniting with them. Also, tell them that you're doing well here. Your parents will be happy. Keep going and wait for the day you can be reunited with them."

Yue Zheng asked her: "Do you not mind my identity?"

"What is your identity?"

"Nothing. I think your suggestion is great. I'll write to my parents tomorrow."

In response to her, Qian Gaoyun's long breathing was mixed with a little bit of snoring.

In the darkness, Yue Zheng grinned and laughed silently.

very nice!
