Chapter 131 The Qian Family Father and Daughter
The truck stopped at the edge of the village and couldn't drive in.
Xie Yun and others jumped out from the back fight.
Qian Gaoyun's surprised voice came from a distance: "Dad~"
Qian Daguang's face suddenly broke into a huge smile. He thought, his daughter still misses him, hearing this voice, how happy she is!
"Dad, how many books did you bring for us? You drove here, so there must be a lot, right?"
Qian Gaoyun ran over, passed Qian Daguang, rushed to the back of the car, and looked inside.
Qian Daguang was completely ignored, and his smile froze on his face.
Secretary Li and Director Zhong couldn't bear to watch it.
It’s so miserable!
Xie Yun was almost laughing like crazy.
Qian Daguang's driver, Zhou Quan, jumped out of the cab and said with a laugh, "Qian Gaoyun, you went to look at things without even saying hello to me. I'm not happy with your uncle Zhou. I won't drive over next time."
Qian Gaoyun: "..."
Director Yan, who came along later, also smiled and said, "Kid, don't just think about your books. Your dad and your Uncle Zhou have come from afar, so you should first worry about whether they're thirsty or hungry. Just now you were telling us how much you missed your dad, your family, friends, and neighbors back home, but why did you lose interest the moment we met?"
Qian Gaoyun: "I didn't..." She said she missed them...
Director Yan interrupted her without hesitation, "There's nothing shameful about missing home. No matter how old you are, you'll miss it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
This kid’s mouth must be made of ice. What he says makes people feel cold.
Qian Gaoyun chuckled twice and said to Qian Daguang, "Dad, why did you come in person? Aren't you busy with work? Where's my mom? Is she okay?"
Qian Daguang looked at his heartless daughter and felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he quickly came to terms with it. This was just the way she had been since she was little. It was okay. It wasn't that she didn't miss home or her parents, it was just her nature. This was not bad either. At least when she was away from home, she wouldn't be so sad and homesick all day.
"I'm here on business, on a business trip, representing the factory. I'm here to deliver some books and fertilizer to Liushu Village, and to discuss future cooperation. Your mother has to go to work and can't spare time. How have you been lately?"
"Good! I'm fine! Dad, I'm having a great time here."
“…I can see that.”
His daughter was wearing a straw hat. She was a little tanned and a little thinner, but she had a bright and generous smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood. Well, this was much better than he expected.
The environment in Liushutun is indeed nice, and the people he met are all warm, simple and sincere.
Secretary Li said to Director Yan, "Old Yan, none of us have eaten yet. Please help us arrange something. We've been in a meeting all morning, and Director Qian and Comrade Zhou just arrived. They probably left the province last night, and it's really hard for them to bring us something."
"Look, find a place for Comrade Zhou to sleep for a while, and call him back when the meal is ready. Driving is too tiring, and you have to concentrate so hard, you can't let your guard down at all."
Director Yan smiled and said, "Okay, leave it to me. We have a lounge over at the brigade headquarters, and people on duty usually sleep there. Let's all go to the headquarters and talk, instead of standing here."
She stopped Qian Gaoyun who was about to leave and said, "Where are you going? Come with us."
Qian Gaoyun said, "I have to go back and take notes. Comrade Yan is giving a talk about corn nutrient deficiency today, and I have to go and listen."
Everyone was stunned. Your father has come all this way, why don't you talk to him? Is he really just here to bring warmth to the farmers? If you, his daughter, weren't here, he definitely wouldn't have made this trip.
Director Yan wanted to persuade her, but Qian Daguang waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, don't delay. We'll talk when we come back for dinner."
"Why."
Qian Gaoyun agreed crisply and ran away.
Everyone:"……"
Qian Daguang smiled and said, "This child is just like that, she's very carefree. Seeing that she's fine, I'm relieved. Let her do what she needs to do. If I stop her now, she'll definitely be very upset."
Director Yan smiled and said, "You are such a good father, always thinking about your children. Xiao Qian is a child who has been raised with great love by her parents. She has a pure heart. She is very popular here, and there is no one who doesn't like her.
Older people like me treat her like a junior, and those around her age are very close to her like sisters. Our Binbin and her are particularly close; they often get together to talk about life and their ideals, and both want to contribute to the development of our country. We are also lucky in Liushu Village; our children are all very outstanding.
Xie Yun added: "Sister Gao Yun will be teaching at our middle school in September. We specifically recruited her from the county to teach. However, the middle school hasn't started yet, so she's busy with other things first. It was Sister Gao Yun's own choice."
The Comrade Yan she was talking about was from the Agricultural University. He was doing wheat seed research here, and she was his assistant. We had night school, and Sister Gao Yun was also teaching there. When junior high school started, she would go there to teach. Sister Gao Yun was a rare talent, and she was shining everywhere here!
Secretary Li smiled and said, "That's true. I went to the county to ask for her. Xiao Qian is very conscious and wanted to go to the most difficult place. Secretary He from our county persuaded her. We really need her here, so she changed her mind and came here."
Qian Daguang said sincerely: "Thank you all! This child has caused you trouble."
I didn't expect there was such a connection. It seems his daughter won't suffer much here.
Director Zhong said, "That's not true. Xiao Qian has done a lot."
As they were talking, the team leaders arrived.
Zhang Guangrong asked Zhao Fuguo to arrange people to move all the books to the night school information room and the fertilizer to the warehouse.
"Handle these with care. These are treasures. Director Qian brought them all the way here. They'll not only help our crops grow, but they'll also help us grow smarter. Also, have someone watch the car. Don't let the children crawl around. Bumps and scratches are minor issues, but don't damage the car."
Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Not really, it's quite strong. Don't get into the cab, don't touch the front of the car. If the kids want to look in the back, they can, it's okay. Be careful not to bump into anything, be careful."
After that, he led everyone to the brigade headquarters. Xie Yun and Director Yan poured everyone some water and asked them to sit down and chat for a while.
Zhao Fuguo took Zhou Quan to the duty room next door to rest.
Director Yan stood up and said, "You guys chat while I go get some food. Director Qian has come from afar, and we don't have much to offer. Try some of our farmhouse meals."
Director Qian smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"What's the trouble?"
Director Yan finished speaking and went out to call a few enthusiastic women comrades to help cook. Nowadays, people don't eat for free; their rations are delivered later, along with money for the food. Those who don't bring their rations, like Director Qian, are given national food coupons and money.
Xie Yun wanted to help with the cooking, but Director Yan stopped him, "Work is more important, focus on your own. We'll be done in no time."
After drinking some water, everyone became restless and asked to visit the night school, research institute and experimental field.
Xie Yun led the way and everyone went to see the night school and the research institute first. It was a large courtyard with two rows of brick and tile buildings, classrooms, offices, information rooms, and laboratories.
The toilets are divided into male and female ones.
The yard and classrooms were cleaned thoroughly.
There are signs hanging on the doors, making them look very presentable.
Afterward, everyone went to visit the experimental fields. Yan Dongsheng was explaining in detail the symptoms and diagnostic criteria for corn nutrient deficiency. Qian Gaoyun was taking notes and occasionally asking questions. Her expression was serious and focused, and Qian Daguang nodded repeatedly. It seemed that rural life was indeed a good training ground. His daughter, apart from anything else, seemed much more down-to-earth.
