Chapter 171 A Match for the Match
☆
After the mechanical experts arrived, Xie Yun, accompanied by Secretary Li and Director Zhong, quickly went to visit them.
Among these experts, the most famous is Professor Pan Changqing from the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University. He looks to be around 60 years old, about the same height as Xie Yun, and thin.
The candidate for mechanical work was recommended by Qian Daguang. Qushui County searched for the people by name, but this person was not among them. He was smuggled in.
Xie Yun could tell at a glance that all the mechanical experts present respected him very much and he was the soul of this expert team.
Qian Daguang didn't write his name, probably not because his level was not good enough, but because it was too good. He was worried that Qushui County would not be able to accept it.
I don’t know which good person did this good deed and sent him here!
Thanks to the kind people!
The arrival of Xie Yun and his team made the experts a little nervous, but it was the veteran comrades from the cadre school who told them, "Relax, it's okay, we're all family. They're here to ask you for help."
Pan Changqing said, "Don't say that. We are here to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants."
Xie Yun and others: "..."
The old man is quite good at speaking.
Secretary Li smiled and said, "That's correct."
He introduced Xie Yun to everyone and said, "This is our commune's propaganda officer, Xie Yun. Little Xie comes from a poor peasant family. She will work with you and learn from you in the future."
Pan Changqing: "We should learn from Comrade Xie."
Xie Yun: “…”
She pursed her lips, controlled her smile, and spoke clearly, "We learn from each other. I'll come here every afternoon. The commune has arranged a practice base for everyone, which is our commune's agricultural machinery station.
We poor and lower-middle peasants don't understand technology or machinery, but if we want to achieve agricultural mechanization, we need everyone's help. So, we learn from each other. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. The key is to produce results, work hard, and build good machinery. Of course, we also need everyone to pass on knowledge and technology to us poor and lower-middle peasants."
Pan Changqing looked at Xie Yun. The young comrade looked quite young and his words were full of empty pretense, but they sounded like they had some substance. He spoke in a serious tone and his face was full of greatness, glory and correctness.
This little girl, who is about eighteen or nineteen years old, still has childishness in her eyes and eyebrows, but she speaks like an old lady in her eighties or nineties.
He couldn't help but sucking his teeth.
Tsk!
Of course, agricultural mechanization must be achieved, and the four modernizations must also be realized. It is right to impart knowledge to poor and lower-middle peasants. More precisely, it is right to impart knowledge to everyone. But for some reason, when paired with the current revolutionary language, these particularly correct words sound so disgusting.
Pan Changqing couldn't help but put his hand on his stomach, with a righteous expression on his face, and said in a serious tone: "Of course, we will do our best and will not hide anything."
The attitude is as rigorous as joining the party.
Secretary Li said: "I believe in you all. We have spent a lot of effort to invite you from all over the country because we need talents. Our Qushui County needs to develop, but we don't want low-level repetitive development. We need technological progress and need to take a long-term view.
Since you have come to our Qushui County and Taoyuan Commune, you are our people and are treated the same as our members. If you have any problems, please report them to us in time.
We are here today not to supervise the work, but to cooperate with it."
After chatting for a while, Xie Yun and the others said goodbye and left. After walking a distance, the three of them burst into laughter.
Secretary Li said, "I didn't expect Professor Pan to be so alert. The old man has a rather amusing personality."
Director Zhong said, "It's right to be vigilant. After so many years of this, I've lost my courage."
They said to Xie Yun, "Xiao Xie, please be more considerate. These elderly people have a hard time. Since you are interested in technology, you should learn from them. What you learn will be yours."
"Yeah. Maybe I can become a technical expert in the future."
Secretary Li: "I think you can."
Director Zhong: "You can definitely do it."

After Xie Yun and his companions left, the veteran cadre school comrade who had brought them here smiled and said to the experts, "Everyone can relax a little here. The environment in Qushui County is relatively relaxed, and Taoyuan Commune is the most relaxed of them all. In other words, the relaxation in Qushui County started with Taoyuan Commune. And the relaxation in Taoyuan Commune started with Liushutun Brigade. And the changes in Liushutun Brigade started with Comrade Xie just now."
They were the ones who created this situation. Don't worry. Tell them anything you have. As long as we don't do anything that harms the country and its people, as long as we are wholeheartedly dedicated to our country and its people, and as long as we focus on our research, Qushui County and Taoyuan Commune will do their best to accommodate us. We must make every effort to repay the trust of our fellow villagers."
Under everyone's curious gaze, the old comrade recounted in detail the changes that had taken place in Qushui County over the past year. Of course, he had heard it from Secretary Li and others.
Pan Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and took another deep breath. "Great! Since the people are aware of this and are willing to take such a big risk for scientific research and technological advancement, we are not cowards. We will definitely put our utmost effort into research."
Someone asked, "Xiao Xie is the publicity officer. Will she come to do research with us?"
"Didn't Xiao Xie say she was here to study?"
"Are you really here to study? I thought it was just a polite remark."
"No, Xiao Xie never says polite words. You'll know later, she will only... push her limits. If you teach her one thing, she'll ask you to teach her another. If you figure out one thing, she'll ask you to figure out another. You were supposed to stay here for three years, but she might make you stay for five."
Everyone:"……"
Someone said, "That sounds a lot like that."
Someone echoed: "Ah, yes, it is quite that."
Isn't that what capitalists do? They are workers. The capitalists want to squeeze every last drop of surplus value out of them!
But they are still willing to do it~
Pan Changqing said: "Xiao Xie is truly an outstanding representative of the poor and lower-middle peasants. She is wholeheartedly committed to national development and is willing to work with us. She is determined to use her own efforts to transform the knowledge of the "stinky old nine" into the knowledge of the poor and lower-middle peasants themselves. She is truly young and promising!"
Everyone:"……"
There is no need to be so flattering!
Seeing that everyone looked a little nauseous, Pan Changqing smiled and said, "So, how is my speech?"
Everyone kept their mouths shut and gave him a thumbs up!
You are awesome! You are awesome! You are the best at disgusting people.
The old comrades at the cadre school were almost laughing like crazy. "Professor Pan, you and Xiao Xie will definitely have a good conversation. She's just as capable of living in vain as you are. That's right, Xiao Xie's words wouldn't be so harsh when they come out, but when you say them, it's really disgusting."
Everyone laughed, and the nervousness and uneasiness of being a newcomer gradually dissipated in the laughter.
