Chapter 169: Do Good Things
Qian Daguang quickly wrote a reply letter to his daughter, in which he praised Qian Gaoyun again and again, saying that she had really grown up, had a clearer understanding of the world, and understood the true meaning of the word "career".
He encouraged Qian Gaoyun to continue learning from outstanding people and striving for selfless growth. "The greater a person's abilities, the greater their contribution to society and the country. Mom and Dad hope you will continue to work hard in your new position. We will always be your support."
After finishing writing, Qian Daguang slapped his forehead. Qian Gaoyun, that naughty kid, didn't even tell him the address of the propaganda team, so he didn't know where to send it.
Shao Xiang said to him, "Can't you check it yourself? Why don't you call Qushui County and ask?"
"Too."
Qian Daguang called Xie Yun.
"Xiao Xie, do you know Gao Yun's address in the county?"
"I know. The propaganda team has dormitories, and she lives there now. We went to see her, and she gets along well with her roommates. The first batch of members of the propaganda team were all educated youth from the city, all passionate young people, and they get along well. Director Qian, don't worry. It's okay."
"Oh, thank you. I'm sorry that Gao Yun took so much trouble for you."
"What are you thanking me for? Sister Gao Yun is also a child of our Liushu Village. No matter where she goes in the future, we will always care about her. A few days ago, she came back to visit us in the brigade, and even my brother was reluctant to see her go when she left."
Qian Daguang laughed heartily. "Gao Yun isn't very cunning, but she has a good temper. Tell me the address of her propaganda team and I'll send her a letter."
Xie Yun and Secretary Li and Director Zhong, who heard the leaked information, were speechless for a second. What a guy, he didn't even tell his old father the address.
Xie Yun smiled and told him the address, then asked, "Did you know that Sister Gao Yun is going to be transferred?"
"I see. She wrote to me about it, and I was about to write her back, but when I finished I realized there was no address."
Xie Yun also laughed heartily. "Then please hurry up and send it. If you delay for a few days, Sister Gao Yun will be gone, and we will have to forward it for you then. If you hurry up, we won't have to make this trip again, and it will also save the postman some trouble."
"Okay, I'll send it right away. Thank you, Xiao Xie. I'm hanging up now."
"Why."
After hanging up, Qian Daguang started talking frantically again. "Look at your daughter. She was chosen by the art troupe, and she even went back to Liushutun to tell everyone in person. She didn't even tell us when she went to the county propaganda team. I guess she remembered to write to us this time. It must have been the girls in Liushutun who reminded her, otherwise she wouldn't have remembered at all."
Shao Xiang felt her husband had uncovered the truth. "So we need to reflect on how we raised our child like this. Why was Liushutun able to raise Gao Yun so well? Even if you count the time she spent in the county, she only spent a year there. Why is she so deeply tied to Liushutun? Why does she think of Liushutun all the time and not us?"
Qian Daguang: "Exactly. Why? Think about it carefully."
Shao Xiang: "You should think about it carefully."
"What am I thinking? A child's heartlessness is at most a character trait, not a personality flaw, and it's not a serious problem. It's no big deal if she's heartless here with us. Just don't act like that outside."
"How do you know she's not like this outside? She must have been like this from the beginning, and then someone changed her."
"That means she was right to go to the countryside."
Qian Daguang picked up the pen and wrote another letter, this one to Liushutun, thanking Liushutun for educating and training Qian Gaoyun over the past year.
He said to Shao Xiang, "They are helping us raise our child, so we can't be ungrateful. I have to thank them."
"Your thanks are just words?"
"If you ask me, you should buy some notebooks and pens and send them to the brigade. Have them give them to the children. They're helping us educate our children, so we should also contribute a little to their education. Every year, donate a little money to their brigade's primary school. This will allow the poorest children to go to school, and then we'll be expressing our gratitude in a practical way. What do you think?"
Qian Daguang rubbed his hands. "I think it's okay. We don't have much of a burden. We both have salaries, and they're not low. We don't need to worry about our eldest son, he has his own job. Gao Yun works in the art troupe, which is also a good job. If you think about it this way, our family only earns money, not spends it! We should donate."
After a pause, he continued, "I'll also write a letter to the eldest brother and tell him about Gao Yun's situation. I didn't tell him about Gao Yun's joining the team in the countryside because I didn't want him to worry. He doesn't even know that his sister has been training in the countryside for a year and has been completely transformed."
"I don't know if the boss can come back for the New Year this year?"
"It's tough. The Third Front construction was already tough, and he went there prepared to not come back for several years."
Qian Daguang wrote the letter, took out 100 yuan, went to the post office to mail the letter, and filled out a remittance form.
Before leaving with the army, Qian Gaoyun received a letter from her parents. She read it over and over again, and sentences like "A mother worries about her son even when he is a thousand miles away" and "A mother worries about her son until he is a hundred years old" flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but tear up.
There is no doubt that she loves her parents deeply, but this love is not usually expressed.
If her parents were sick, she would definitely go back to them, take care of their excrement and urine, and do whatever she could to serve them. She would never be impatient at all. She would always take good care of them, even if it meant giving up her own ideals and career. But when they were still well, it was really difficult for her to think of them.
She will definitely work hard to let her parents see her glory!
The Liushutun Brigade received Qian Daguang's letter and the money he sent.
Zhang Guangzong said with emotion, "Good people will eventually be rewarded. We treated Xiaoqian well, and her father remembered our kindness. Not only did he help build the fertilizer plant, he also donated money to us to buy books for the children. He must make sure that the children study hard."
Yan Guixiang said: "We have met a good person."
She told Xie Yun about this.
Xie Yun was very happy. Hey, isn't this a good way for cities to help the countryside and for workers to support farmers? It's especially affordable! Don't just send talent, you also have to send materials and money!
But then I thought, this is not a good thing to publicize.
Qian Gaoyun received a good education in Liushutun and joined the army art troupe. Qian Daguang was grateful to the poor and lower-middle peasants in Liushutun, so he donated money to help the children in Liushutun, which was a great thing.
But I'm afraid some people might be wicked and confuse cause and effect. They might think that only by donating money to the brigade can their children receive education. That would be disastrous. Not only would it corrupt the morale of Liushutun, but it could also allow some to exploit this situation and use it to frame Liushutun.
After much thought, Xie Yun felt that this matter should be handled in a low-key manner.
She told Yan Guixiang her opinion, and Yan Guixiang looked at her with a look of relief.
"We all think so too. Logically, this is a great thing, worth discussing, but given the current situation, we should be cautious. Let's write a thank-you letter to Director Qian and explain the situation. We'll remember his kindness and share it with everyone when the time is right."
Zhang Guangzong personally wrote back to Qian Daguang, expressing his gratitude for his kindness. He also emphasized that the reason Qian Gaoyun was chosen by the propaganda team and the art troupe was because she was talented enough, had a good foundation, had learned many skills at home, and had a high level of ideological awareness, mainly due to her parents' cultivation. Liu Shutun did not do anything special, but simply did not hold her back.
He also promised that the donation would definitely be used for the children and every penny would be recorded in detail. He welcomed Qian Daguang to visit Liushutun and check the accounts.
Qian Daguang felt very relieved after receiving the letter. He just did good things, not worrying about the future. He was grateful for the kindness he received, and the other party did the kindness without expecting anything in return. This was the best situation.
