Chapter 112 Acquaintance
Qin Yi looked at Su Tong deeply.
The swelling on her face had almost subsided, but there were still some bruises that were very eye-catching on her porcelain-white face. Judging from the amount of blood she had bled that day, she must have had some deeper wounds on her body, and it would be impossible for her to fully recover in a short period of time...
But she looked eager to try, without any of the pampered and weak look that a girl of her age should have. She was even more decisive than Lin Li.
To the extent that he often had the illusion that she was his comrade-in-arms, forgetting that she was actually just a little country girl who had been bullied a few days ago.
Wasn't it a bit too much for him to take her around for the case when she was still seriously injured?
Qin Yi belatedly felt a sense of guilt rising in his heart.
"We still have a long way to go, so we need to hurry... Is there anything else?"
Seeing that Qin Yi didn't respond, Su Tong turned around and asked.
Qin Yi suppressed the thought in his mind, smiled at her and said:
"You need to wait for me for a while. I'll make some phone calls to make arrangements."
Su Tong nodded and stared blankly at him as he turned into the gate and went towards the office building.
Qin Yi's face was usually serious, but occasionally he would smile, just like the sudden appearance of spring flowers blooming, dazzling for no reason...
Su Tong was originally a slow-witted person. After being in the army for a long time, she had become immune to such heroic male looks.
But seeing this, I couldn't help but feel my heartbeat speed up...
I was secretly complaining, fortunately this person doesn't laugh easily, otherwise many girls would come one after another...
Then, she heard someone calling her.
Probably calling her...
Because a person across the street was riding a bicycle with one leg perched on it and waving at her exaggeratedly.
"Comrade Wu! Comrade Xiao Wu! Is that Comrade Xiao Wu?"
Su Tong blinked and wondered if there was anyone here who recognized him?
Until the man crossed the road, stopped the car and walked in front of her. Looking at his chubby white face, meticulously combed hair, and the pen in his chest pocket, she seemed to have seen him before. Isn't this that...that...
Su Tong was still searching in her memory when the other party grabbed her hand and began to shake it, saying excitedly:
"Comrade Xiao Wu! I'm Technician Li! I thought you looked like me from afar! I didn't expect it was really you!"
Oh! Yes! Isn't this the technician Li who treats cattle?
It's just that the last time we met, he was still very reserved and frugal with his words. He wasn't as enthusiastic as he is today!
"Ah! It's Technician Li! Long time no see! You, you work... around here?"
Su Tong was not familiar with the territory of the county town, and for a moment he didn't know what to talk about with this suddenly enthusiastic technician.
"I don't work at the Animal Husbandry Bureau anymore! I'm working at the County Propaganda Department!"
Technician Li let go of Su Tong's hand at the right time, his tone filled with hint of excitement.
"……What?"
Su Tong just felt that propaganda and animal husbandry were still a bit far apart, but before she could wonder for too long, Technician Li came close to her and explained in a low voice:
"I didn't want to go to the Animal Husbandry Bureau in the first place, but my uncle forced me to go, saying that I couldn't think of anything else unless I made some achievements. Isn't that right—"
Technician Li waved his arms happily and said:
"In less than half a year, I went to your Yunshan Village to cure the cows. When I came back, I was rated as an advanced worker. I took the opportunity to ask to join the Propaganda Department, and my uncle agreed!"
Before Su Tong could figure out what expression to use to respond, Technician Li lowered his voice and continued:
"I've always wanted to do some publicity, and now I finally got what I wanted! Comrade Wu, this is all thanks to you! I knew exactly what was going on with the treatment of the cow that day! If it weren't for you arranging it in the middle, the old man wouldn't have given the credit to me! I've never found a chance to thank you! How about I treat you to a meal?"
"Ah...you're too polite! No need to eat!"
Su Tong was a little overwhelmed by this person's enthusiasm, so he waved his hands quickly and looked back at the office building. Qin Yi had already finished his call and was walking out.
"Technician Li, I have something else to do today. Congratulations! Let's talk later!"
"Ah! What's wrong with you?"
Technician Li looked regretful and said, "Well, Comrade Wu, my name is Li Zhiguo. I am no longer a technician. You can call me Xiao Li or Zhiguo. It's also OK. Don't call me that. It's too unfamiliar! If you have the chance, please come to the county to watch my performance! I am a great erhu player!"
"Oh! That's right!"
Technician Li suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"Do you want to come to the Propaganda Department? There are so many departments! There are people who can play some musical instruments, write and draw, run around everywhere. As long as you are willing, I will find a way! You may only be able to work as a temporary worker, but it is suitable for girls like you! Putting on beautiful makeup every day is better than raising cattle! Even if you can't come to the county, there are propaganda teams in the towns below..."
Just when Su Tong felt that his ears could no longer bear it, Qin Yi's voice rang out.
"Excuse me for interrupting! This is..."
Li Zhiguo turned around and was shocked by Qin Yi's appearance and aura when he saw him. He was stunned for five seconds before he reacted. He glanced at Su Tong, then at Qin Yi, and said repeatedly:
"Ah - you guys are busy, right? Then I won't bother you! Go ahead and do your work first!"
Su Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Comrade Li, we'll leave first and contact you when we have time!"
"Contact again! Contact again!"
When Su Tong was about to get on the bus, Li Zhiguo shouted:
"Comrade Wu, remember to call me when you have time! Just call me at the County Propaganda Department! Give me a chance!"
Su Tong couldn't help but sigh. It's hard to say other things about this person, but... he is sincere!
"Chance?"
After the car started, Qin Yi asked Su Tong with a teasing tone.
Su Tong smiled, briefly told the story of curing the cow, and then said:
"At that time, I just wanted to borrow his influence to help Lao Qi and Lao Lin build their house. I didn't expect that I helped him by accident. I didn't expect that he would remember this and insisted on thanking me."
After Su Tong finished speaking, she realized that she had not avoided the issue of Lao Qi and Lao Lin's stance in front of Qin Yi. Their identities as "stinky old nine" were facts, and they could not be openly partial to each other like this...
As a soldier, Qin Yi would not be biased in his class stance...
These days, she interacted with Qin Yi so naturally that she forgot that it was still the 1970s...
Just when Su Tong was feeling uneasy, Qin Yi smiled and said:
"His suggestion is not bad. The propaganda team is indeed more suitable for young girls. If you are interested, you might as well accept his favor."
Qin Yi's expression was natural, and his words were spoken naturally. He seemed not to notice anything wrong with Su Tong's words at all. His attention was all on Li Zhiguo's proposal.
Su Tong looked at Qin Yi deeply and suddenly felt that he was narrow-minded.
Qin Yi had been to her house several times. They had long seen how she got along with the two old men, and they even respected them. No one had ever said a word of objection.
She was not the only one who pitied these old people, these former pillars of the country and industry masters, because they were not only the past, but also the fire, the future torchbearers of the country...
This country is still very new and backward. We will take detours and make mistakes, but we still love her and will still spare no effort to silently protect and build her in our own way.
She is, and so is he.
Su Tong calmed down and continued with a smile:
"Okay! I'll think about it."
