Chapter 120 Qian Gaoyun’s father, Yan Dongsheng’s teacher
Three days later, Qian Gaoyun's father, Qian Daguang, who was far away in the provincial capital, received the letter first. Qian Daguang had always been upset that his daughter had signed up for the rural program without his knowledge. Of course, the daughter had discussed it with him at first, but he disagreed. After all his sweet talk, the stubborn girl shut up and secretly signed up.
He was so angry that he was leaving behind a good life and insisting on going to the countryside to suffer!
Their family had only been away from the countryside for a few years. He'd barely washed the mud off his legs when his daughter returned. It wasn't that he looked down on farmers; his family had been farmers for generations, and they'd finally managed to raise a college graduate like him, one who had settled down in the city and was now the deputy director of a fertilizer plant, a technically skilled one at that. The family had finally changed their fortunes.
They say being a poor and lower-middle peasant is the most glorious thing, but who wouldn't want to leave the countryside and come to the city? But his daughter is a fool!
He had no place to complain about these things. If he said them outside, he would definitely be criticized and accused of affecting the unity of workers and peasants. He could only keep it in his heart and was almost going crazy.
After reading it, Qian Daguang slapped the letter in front of his wife, Shao Xiang, who was knitting a sweater, and said, "Look at your daughter. She's only been there for a few days, and she thinks she's from Liushu Village. She's lived at home for over 20 years, and she doesn't even consider this place home!"
Shao Xiang continued knitting, tilted her head to glance at the letter, and smiled, "Isn't this good? At least she knew to write to you for help. And she wrote to you not long after going to the countryside. Isn't this better than expected?"
Qian Daguang: “…”
As expected, a stubborn girl who went to the countryside wouldn't contact her family for a year or two, and even if she wrote back, she'd probably only report good news and not bad news. Compared to that, it's not so bad, is it?
Bah! Bullshit!
Qian Daguang was still very angry.
Shao Xiang glanced at him and said, "From what she wrote in the letter, her life in the countryside is not bad. You can write back and try to get some information from her to find out the details. Find the books she wants and send them to her. Also send her some food and daily necessities, and some money."
Qian Daguang was stubborn and didn't say anything, but he had already started thinking about how to complete the task assigned by his child.
The books weren't for her personally, but for Liushu Village. She also wanted to build a public library. In that case, he could turn a personal matter into a public one. To show his importance, he could even go on a business trip and personally deliver the books to her, so he could see what Liushu Village was like and what kind of life his daughter led. If it was indeed good, he and the child's mother would be relieved.
Thinking of this, Qian Daguang stood up and said, "I'll go talk to Secretary Zheng. This is a major event concerning the unity of workers and farmers. It's a great opportunity to show the whole society that industry supports agriculture."
Shao Xiang: “…”
Qian Daguang found the Party Secretary and Director of the fertilizer plant, told them about the matter, and said frankly: "I am a little selfish, I want to go over and take a look, but this is indeed a great opportunity to establish a glorious image for our factory.
For a long time, farmers have tightened their belts to support industrial development. Now, it's time for us to give back to the countryside. This is also the meaning of the "educated youth" going to the countryside. Ever since my daughter signed up to go to the countryside, I've been thinking about this issue. Now she wrote me a letter that just gave me an idea.
secretary:"……"
Factory Director: “…”
Although I knew exactly what he was thinking, I had to admit that there was nothing wrong with his statement. It was worthwhile to make a small investment to create a great, glorious, and correct image for the fertilizer factory.
The leadership team held a small meeting and decided to purchase a batch of practical books for Liushutun, including those on farming, pig farming, chicken farming, cattle farming, and building water conservancy facilities. At the same time, the fertilizer plant also decided to donate a few bags of fertilizer and appointed Deputy Director Qian Daguang to go to Liushutun in person to form a friendly and mutually supportive brother unit with the other party!
Qian Daguang happily began to prepare for going to the countryside.

Two days later, Yan Dongsheng's teacher Yue Qixun, who was working at a cadre school outside Beijing, also received a letter from his student.
Yue Qixun smiled at the content. He obviously didn't think his student was disrespecting his teacher and ancestors or being unorthodox. It was all caused by the environment, and he couldn't be blamed. On the contrary, he was happy for his student's cleverness.
Before this letter reached him, it must have been checked by military control personnel. The fact that they delivered it to him means that the contents of the letter had been approved by the military.
Yue Qixun's mind worked quickly. He took the letter and went to find Li Guodong, the head of military control.
"This is a letter from the People's Commune. Please take a look."
Li Guodong didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly, "We've checked."
Yue Qixun smiled and said, "It's my duty. Thank you for your supervision."
Li Guodong asked him, "Comrade Yue, you came to me with this letter. Is there something you want?"
Yue Qixun said, "Well, we've been working on the farm and have deeply experienced the hardships of the working people. We also want to do something for everyone. I'm wondering if you could write a letter to the school and ask them to send our research materials to this 'Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants Research Institute'. I hope it can be of some help to them and help them achieve results soon."
A lot of that information had been destroyed before, and I hope to take this opportunity to save some of it.
Li Guodong looked at him steadily: "Comrade Yue, do you really want to help the poor and lower-middle peasants?"
"Sincerely! Absolutely sincerely!"
Yue Qixun stood up, straight and straight, and said, "My daughter is still in the city. I want to write her a letter and ask her to go to Liushutun to help the local people with their research!"
Li Guodong said, "Okay. You write. Write here."
Yue Qixun wiped the sweat from his palms on his trouser legs, sat down, and wrote a letter to his daughter.
His daughter Yue Zheng is also a student at the Agricultural University. She is very talented in research. If it weren't for this movement, she would have finished college smoothly, studied for a master's degree, and then stayed in school to do research. She would have had a bright future. Unlike now, she has become a poor girl and can't find a job in the city, so she can only go to the countryside.
He hoped that his daughter had not signed up to leave on her own, so that she could go to Liushutun and do research with her senior brothers. Even if the conditions were a little difficult, it was better than being alone.
In his letter, he said: "You must listen to the Party, study the Party's ideas seriously, actively participate in labor, and integrate yourself with the poor and lower-middle peasants. You must never have a condescending attitude, but go deep into the masses."
After writing, he gave it to Li Guodong to read. Li Guodong put the letter away and said, "I'll mail it for you."
"Okay. Thank you, Comrade Li."
Yue Qixun bowed before leaving.
After he left, Li Guodong also stood up and left the cadre school.
He personally went to the Agricultural University with his men and collected the remaining materials, as well as materials from other departments. When someone tried to stop him from giving them the materials, Li Guodong unfurled the banner of the Liushutun Brigade and said, "The poor and lower-middle peasants have needs, and of course we must meet them. If you refuse, we will go and talk to the leadership."
The other party stopped trying to stop him and let Li Guodong take all the information away.
He found Yue Zheng and personally handed her Yue Qixun's letter. "I hope you can understand what your father meant."

Of course Yue Zheng understood, so she signed up that day and asked to go to Liushutun to work in the countryside and use what she had learned to support rural development.
Li Guodong returned to the cadre school with the information, told Yue Qixun about Yue Zheng's decision, and gave him the information.
Yue Qixun's eyes immediately turned red, and he wanted to kowtow to Li Guodong. This seemingly serious, cold and old-fashioned man turned out to be a good person!
"Look, what's missing?"
Yue Qixun looked at the information of his research group and found that at least half of it was missing, but it didn’t matter, he could still make up for it!
Li Guodong called over the other researchers and asked them to claim their own materials. "If there's any missing, please do your best to fill it in. These materials will be sent to the Liushutun Brigade in due course, making them convenient for the members there to study and reference for their research. If they have questions, they'll write to me, and I'll pass them on to you. You must answer their questions well."
"yes!"
Everyone agreed loudly.
