Chapter 117 Everyone’s potential is unlimited!
As soon as Qian Gaoyun finished speaking, Xie Yun smiled and said, "The comrades in the county are right. High school graduates are indeed rare. I am a high school graduate. We in Liushu Village really treasure me, right, fellow villagers?"
Secretary Li was quite considerate. He transferred a high school student from Liushutun and replaced them with a college student, so that Liushutun did not suffer any loss.
The members around Xie Yun all laughed and said, "Right, right, right."
Then he said to Qian Gaoyun, "Qian Zhiqing, don't be so modest. Learn from our Binbin. You're already a very capable high school graduate, and we in Liushu Village really need people like you. We're glad you're here and welcome you."
During this period of time, they had all adapted to Xie Yun's style, and suddenly seeing Qian Gaoyun being so humble, they were a little uncomfortable.
Qian Gaoyun smiled and said, "Thank you, fellow villagers. I will definitely work hard."
Zhang Guangzong smiled and nodded, then said to the members who were working, "Xiao Qian, the educated youth, has come from afar. It's not easy. Everyone, please take care of him."
"Understood, Captain."
Zhang Guangzong dropped the person off and left. Regarding Qian Zhiqing's arrangements, we need to proceed step by step and observe first. Her confirmed job is to be a middle school teacher, but what else can she do besides that?
Xie Yun began to teach Qian Gaoyun how to work.
At this time, the wheat has been harvested and the corn seedlings are more than ten centimeters tall. They are undergoing the first thinning. While thinning, weeding is also done.
Xie Yun patiently taught Qian Gaoyun which types of corn seedlings needed to be removed and which types could be left alone for now, and which ones would need to be thinned out a second time later.
Qian Gaoyun studied very hard and was clearly fully prepared for the farm work she would do in the countryside.
Xie Yun taught her how to do the work while chatting with her casually.
"Qian Zhiqing, did you volunteer to go to the countryside?"
"yes."
"So what do you think? Is it really that hard to find a job in the city?"
Qian Gaoyun smiled and said, "It's true that it's hard to find a job, but it's not impossible for me to find one."
When saying this, Qian Gaoyun smiled frankly, and it was obvious that she was still confident about finding a job.
"But I don't want to live a routine life where you can predict the end of your life. Finding a job and working steadily for the rest of your life is meaningless. It just so happens that the country is calling for educated young people to go to the countryside, so I signed up. There's a vast world and great opportunities, and I want to make a difference in the countryside."
Xie Yun: “…”
Unexpectedly, he is still a rebellious young man. At this time, he began to feel dissatisfied with the stable job and wanted to go out and make achievements!
She smiled and said, "Qian Zhiqing is so conscious. I admire him! We poor and lower-middle peasants are so lucky to have educated youth like you. Did many of your classmates go to the countryside?"
"Yes, but not many. Most people are waiting for their job assignments. When I got into university, I was guaranteed a job assignment. They haven't said they'll cancel it yet, so it should still be guaranteed. I just don't know exactly when or where I'll be assigned. I took the initiative to sign up, so I'm kind of joining the workforce early."
Xie Yun: “…”
That's not entirely wrong. Some of the fifth generation were assigned to farms, some to rural production teams, and some to frontier areas. Their situations weren't necessarily any better than Qian Gaoyun's.
"Qian Zhiqing, you've arrived in Liushu Village. We need educated youth like you here, and you also need a place to make great achievements. If we work together sincerely and combine our strengths, we will definitely achieve great results. By then, Qian Zhiqing will not only have knowledge but also practical experience, and will definitely be able to better serve the country and the people."
Qian Gaoyun smiled heartily, "Thank you for your good wishes."
She asked Xie Yun: "Have you been working since you were a child?"
"Yeah, I've been doing it for years."
"No wonder you're so experienced, you know everything. I'm going to learn from you all and become an expert in farming."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "I do have many years of work experience, but I've made rapid progress recently, and I have someone to thank. Our brigade has a new technician. Like you, he's a university student majoring in agronomy. He came here in the spring to teach us scientific farming methods. We've learned a lot from him, and this year's wheat harvest is better than last year's."
Although Comrade Yan Dongsheng's breeding work has not yet yielded results, he is also very good at improving soil, preventing and controlling pests and diseases, etc. Everyone has learned a lot from him.
Qian Gaoyun was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really? I want to learn it too!"
Xie Yun said: "Comrade Yan has done a lot of work for us. Like you, he wants to take root in the countryside, serve the countryside and farmers, and he racks his brains to lead us in development. He teaches us to raise bees, to farm, and even goes to night school to teach us.
Qian Zhiqing, if you want to make achievements in the countryside, our Liushutun is the most suitable place. We are all capable of doing the work of eight people, and we are willing to sacrifice our lives for the collective development.
You can tell the team leader and Director Yan about your strengths and skills. Here, every skill has a stage to be put to good use!"
Qian Gaoyun smiled and said, "Then I'll go find them after work."
Xie Yun asked her again: "Are you living in the educated youth camp?"
Qian Gaoyun smiled and said, "No. I live at Comrade Wang Qingli's house. Originally, the brigade wanted to arrange for me to live at the educated youth camp, but Director Yan said that since I was the only female educated youth, it would be a bit inconvenient for me to live alone at the educated youth camp. She asked if I would like to live with the other members temporarily. Of course I agreed. Isn't the purpose of going to the countryside to get along with the comrades?
Director Yan thought about it and went to see Comrade Wang Qingli to ask her if she would be willing to let me live in her home. Comrade Wang agreed without hesitation and asked if I would like to study breeding knowledge with her. Of course I would.
Xie Yun: “…”
Great! Everyone wants to work hard to tap into Qian Zhiqing's potential! Sister Qingli has already gone ahead of her!
"Sister Qingli is amazing, really, really amazing. You'll definitely learn a lot from living with her. If you can help her improve her breeding skills, it will be worth your trip to the countryside."
"Yeah! I thought so too."
Within two days, Xie Yun knew what Qian Gaoyun was good at.
She is an amateur screenwriter, good at dancing and singing, and also good at acting in dramas. So, she opened writing classes and literature classes at night school, teaching everyone how to write articles, sing, dance, and act.
When she told the team leader and Director Yan about this, she felt a little embarrassed, as she always felt that these skills of hers seemed a bit unrelated to her job.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Guangzong and Yan Guixiang were both very happy. "Your specialty is very rare. It can enrich the amateur cultural life of the people. Don't worry about teaching. Those who are interested can learn from you. Those who don't like to learn can go home early after that class. If there are people with special talents in this area, you can focus on training them. We can set up a rural art troupe and perform during the New Year and other festivals. If there are people who write well, we encourage everyone to submit their works to the newspaper."
Qian Gaoyun was very happy. After discussing with Yan Dongsheng, Sun Liwei and others, she decided to add one writing class and one literature class every week.
From then on, Qian Gaoyun lived a fulfilling life of farming and raising pigs during the day, assisting Yan Dongsheng with research, and attending classes at night.
