Chapter 109 Chapter 109
While walking on the road, Qiao Youqing talked about how he discovered Han Yabo.
The farm slaughtered the New Year pigs yesterday, so Zhao Yuliang notified him to take his researchers to the cafeteria to start cooking. It just so happened that several researchers at Qiao Youqing's office wanted to take leave to go home to visit their families, so Qiao Youqing went to Zhao Yuliang's office to get a letter of introduction.
Unexpectedly, I accidentally saw the list of demoted personnel in Zhao Yuliang's hand.
"When I first saw the name, I almost thought I was seeing things. How could this be possible? Maybe they just have the same first and last name."
"But soon, I saw the files of those people. After seeing the university Han Yabo graduated from and the research projects he worked on before being sent down, I knew that this person must be my student!"
"The people are already inside the farm, but they are still being held in a special warehouse. There are about 50 or 60 of them. Zhao Yuliang took me to look at them from a distance through the fence. There were too many people, and they all had the same hairstyle and clothing. I couldn't tell who they were, but they were definitely transferred here and couldn't escape."
Qiao Youqing couldn't help but pause when explaining this, because he remembered the reactions of Ye Qing and Song Chunhua when he went to report the news just now. The expressions of these two people at that time did not look like they were unaware, but rather as if they had expected it.
Qiao Youqing suddenly had a guess in his mind:
"Did you guys do this?"
Song Chunhua nodded as she helped Qiao Youqing push his bicycle.
"Xiao Ye found someone to help. Yabo was originally detained in the labor camp farm in Mohe. But the farm was full and couldn't accommodate new people, so it had to be split into several groups and sent to the surrounding military farms for resettlement. It just so happened that Qingshan Farm also wanted to accept a group of people, so Xiao Ye took this opportunity to transfer people from Mohe."
Qiao Youqing couldn't help but give Ye Qingshu a thumbs up.
He has been in Wusong City for quite a few years and thought he had made quite a few connections. But when he really encountered a problem and needed help, he didn't expect that he couldn't even help a little girl who had only been here for less than half a year.
Qiao Youqing just felt ashamed and embarrassed, but Ye Qing was concerned about another problem.
"Teacher Han has a special status now. Is it appropriate for you to admit the origin of your relationship to Captain Zhao Yuliang?"
Everyone is in danger during this period. After all, any connection with bad elements can become a deadly weapon for opponents to attack.
Han Yabo has now been identified as a suspected hostile spy. Having a connection with such a person is definitely a very unfavorable factor for Qiao Youqing. What he should do is to distance himself from the relationship and treat Han Yabo as a stranger, instead of rushing to claim kinship and directly informing Zhao Yuliang of this powerful relationship.
Although after spending some time together, Ye Qing felt that Zhao Yuliang was honest and reliable, but no one could guarantee that he would not suddenly turn against them and report the affairs of Qiao Youqing and Han Yabo. After all, this was a political achievement that came right to his doorstep, and human nature was the most vulnerable to the test.
Therefore, Ye Qing felt that what Qiao Youqing was doing was too risky and might implicate himself.
Qiao Youqing instantly understood what Ye Qing was worried about and couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"I was wondering why you didn't tell me about Han Yabo's transfer. I guess you were concerned about this."
"No wonder you didn't react at all when someone came last night, and you didn't even think of going to the farm to check out the situation. It turns out you were afraid of being discovered."
"Hey, Xiaoye, you are too cautious. Of course, it is right for you to have a sense of crisis, but it is really not necessary here at Qingshan Farm."
"Didn't I tell you? Zhao Yuliang is my childhood friend. We grew up in the same compound and wore the same pants. We have always had a good relationship since our grandparents' generation, so there is nothing I can't say to him."
"When Xiao Han was implicated and demoted, I was also targeted. Zhao Yuliang knew that something happened to me, so he transferred me to Wusong City to avoid the limelight."
"So he knew about Han Yabo's case, but he didn't remember Han Yabo's name, so he didn't match the young Han who was demoted this time with my student who was implicated innocently."
"So you don't have to worry at all. Zhao Yuliang is a trustworthy person. I just didn't expect that you, girl Ye, are so bold that you actually got him out, and even accidentally transferred him to Qingshan Farm."
"To be honest, I have been secretly asking people about Xiao Han's affairs for many years, and I have also asked many people to find a solution, but I have never been able to get him out, and I was even almost caught by someone. That's why when you first came, Xiao Ye, I warned you not to act rashly. The main reason is that I was afraid that you were young and didn't know the seriousness of the matter. If you make a mistake, you will get yourself involved."
"Anyway, now that people are here, things will be easier to handle. With Zhao Yuliang in charge of the farm, Xiao Han will definitely take special care of us. We'll take the long view on the rest and don't rush things."
Qiao Youqing's words stunned Ye Qing and Song Chunhua.
After the two looked at each other, they both felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
They were so nervous before that they didn't dare to go to the farm to inquire about the news, for fear that someone would notice something was wrong.
And because they were worried, neither of them slept well last night and was in agony the whole night.
If they had known that Zhao Yuliang and Qiao Youqing were so close, would they have been so cautious? Couldn't they have just asked Qiao Youqing to go to Zhao Yuliang and ask him about it?
If Qiao Youqing had not happened to see the list of people who were demoted from Zhao Yuliang, Ye Qing would have to wait another two days until she went to the farm to have the New Year's Eve dinner to find a chance to inquire about the situation. In those two days, she and Song Chunhua would have to keep the news a secret. No matter how anxious, nervous, and anxious they were, they could only stay in the village and endure and digest this emotion silently. How unfair would that be?
Without this concern, Ye Qing and Song Chunhua both heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, and their steps became much lighter as they hurried through the snow.
When the three of them finally arrived at the farm, Zhao Yuliang was already waiting in the office.
This matter should not be known to more people, so Zhao Yuliang sent the warrior Xiao Zhu who followed him out to do things. After leading them into the house, Zhao Yuliang took the lead in attacking Ye Qing:
"Ye Zhiqing, I feel that I didn't define our relationship accurately enough. I originally thought that we had fought side by side in the scientific pig breeding. Even if we were not absolutely honest with each other, we had a sense of comradeship, right? Isn't that enough to let you down? You didn't tell me a word about such a big thing. Are you planning to keep it a secret from me? How come I, your friend regardless of age difference, am so untrustworthy?"
Ye Qing: ...
Obviously, Zhao Yuliang was a little annoyed by her action of joining forces with Gu Weidong to unilaterally force Han Yabo into Qingshan Farm.
He didn't think that she had caused him trouble by bringing Han Yabo here, but he was angry that Ye Qing didn't dare to ask him for help when he had something to do, and completely ignored him as the person in charge of the army farm.
If Ye Qing had spoken up, and with Zhao Yuliang's help, this matter might have been solved in a simpler and more direct way, without having to go through so much trouble.
So after learning from Qiao Youqing about the relationship between Ye Qing, Song Chunhua and Han Yabo, and finding out how Han Yabo was transferred to his farm, Zhao Yu felt unhappy in his heart, because he found that he treated Ye Qing sincerely and regarded Ye Qing as his own, but Ye Qing did not seem to think so.
What could Ye Qing say? If she trusted just any person without reservation, she would not be able to survive for ten years in the apocalypse.
A naive girl won't live long, whether in the end times when order collapses or in the present times of intrigue. Her harmless appearance like a little white rabbit is just a disguise.
But the uncle was obviously unhappy, and Ye Qing would not compete with Zhao Yuliang at this moment. He would just say something nice to please him and make him happy first.
"Captain Zhao, can't I call you uncle? It's not that I don't trust you. I know the interests involved and I'm afraid of dragging you into this and causing you trouble. Mainly, I'm not sure if this can be done, so I didn't tell anyone. But haven't I brought people directly under your nose? If I didn't consider you as my own, would I do this? I originally planned to wait for people to come before confessing to you, and I was counting on you to take care of me, your master..."
After a lot of nonsense, Ye Qing almost drooled, but he finally made Zhao Yuliang smile. Ye Qing couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for himself.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense to me. I'm not an unreasonable person. Let's forget about this matter. But if you ignore me and don't ask for my help next time you encounter problems, I will really be angry with you. Remember this!"
Zhao Yuliang pointed his finger at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing nodded immediately.
Zhao Yuliang was satisfied and pointed to the lounge behind his office:
"He's inside. I can only give you half an hour. When the time is up, I'll have to send someone to take him away."
The three were shocked, and then they realized that Zhao Yuliang had already found someone in advance.
Several people immediately ran to the lounge. When they opened the door, they saw Han Yabo sitting beside the bunk bed reading a book with a calm look on his face.
His hair was dry and sparse, his face was sallow, and he wore a pair of glasses with one leg broken off. He was so thin that he was just skin and bones, and looked like he would be blown down by the wind at any time.
But his eyes were clear and calm. After years of unfair treatment, he remained calm. Even in this situation, he could pick up a book in Zhao Yuliang's lounge and read it carefully, and was not affected by the change in his environment.
However, when he raised his head again and saw Qiao Youqing and Song Chunhua so close to him, Han Yabo was obviously stunned for a moment. In an instant, he realized why he was suddenly transferred and understood where he had come to.
He stood up suddenly, his eyes were red, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Qiao Youqing did not move forward again and gave his seat to Song Chunhua who was standing beside him.
Song Chunhua walked forward, stretched out her hand and grabbed Han Yabo's arm, tears streaming down her face before she even opened her mouth, she couldn't help crying:
"You...how come you've become so thin..."
The sleeves she was holding were empty. Her husband, who used to be as strong as a bull, now had wrists as thin as chopsticks. She didn't even dare to use force, for fear that she would break his arm if she used too much force.
Song Chunhua was afraid that crying too loudly would attract attention, so she didn't dare to make a sound even when she was emotionally broken. But her silent crying made people feel even more heartbroken. Han Yabo was at a loss, with visibly panicked eyes. He let his wife hold one hand, and with the other hand he wiped Song Chunhua's face aimlessly, trying to wipe away the tears on her face.
But how could these tears be wiped away? After suffering for so many years, Song Chunhua's crying was clearly to vent all the grievances and injustices she had suffered over the years.
Finally, Han Yabo had no choice but to pat his wife's back and comfort her awkwardly:
"Don't cry, I'm fine. I'm not lying to you. It's just that the food there is a little bit bad. You know how picky I am. This Northeastern cuisine is completely different from my local cuisine. I've been eating it for so many years but I still can't get used to it..."
Han Yabo kept mumbling about how terrible the dish of radish, cabbage and vermicelli cooked there was without any grease at all. His nonchalant tone made it seem like he was going to Mohe to serve his sentence, but rather that he was going there for a short trip.
Song Chunhua was crying her heart out at first, but she was amused by Han Yabo's disgusted expression when he described the food as unpalatable, and her sour and sad mood was temporarily diluted.
Both of them were reserved and introverted. At this important moment of reunion after a long separation, neither of them said any straightforward and passionate love words, nor asked each other how they had been doing in the past few years. They just gently held each other's hands and were unwilling to let go. Then, Han Yabo looked at Qiao Youqing over there:
"Teacher...has my research project...been completely stopped?"
Qiao Youqing didn't expect that after not seeing each other for such a long time, the first sentence this student said to him was not a greeting, but a question about his project.
Qiao Youqing was also very helpless. After taking a deep breath, he nodded:
"Your entire team has already been hired. Who would dare to take over your mess at this time? The research institute was shut down at that time, so the project naturally fell through. No one has dared to bring up this topic again in the past few years, and they are still waiting to see what the higher-ups will say."
Han Yabo's expression was gloomy, and after a while he said in a low voice:
"I'm sorry, I seem to have failed to live up to your expectations."
"In fact, in the past few years on the farm, I have readjusted my thinking and figured out several new methods. I can try them out one by one. I think those methods are very feasible..."
Qiao Youqing patted Han Yabo on the shoulder:
"Then you can verify it yourself in the future. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood. Your ability is beyond doubt. Now that you are here, just be patient and wait slowly. You will eventually get your chance!"
"Don't be impatient. It's not just me and Xiaoye. In fact, many people are paying close attention to your matter. Many people are helping you find a solution. You must also have confidence that there will definitely be a day when your project will see the light of day again. Don't give up!"
Han Yabo nodded, and his eyes fell on Ye Qing.
"You are... Ye Qing, right? I received the letter you sent to Mohe before. Thank you very much for the help you provided to my husband and me. Thank you also for your careful care for your teacher. Your teacher has suffered a lot in recent years. Thanks to your encouragement and support, she might not have been able to hold on."
Ye Qing had been observing Han Yabo since she entered the room. The more she observed, the more respect she felt for this master.
This is a scientific researcher who is sincere in heart and obsessed with research.
He doesn't care about politics nor does he indulge in sorrow. No matter whether life is good or bad or whether his children are involved, all his energy is on his research project. Therefore, he accepts the suffering well and takes it for granted. He only wants to make a breakthrough in his subject. Other trivial matters are not important to him.
Even though he had been imprisoned for many years, what he cared about most after reuniting after a long separation was still his research project.
Such simple, pure and extremely talented leaders are all rare national treasures of the Chinese nation. If we protect them well and wait patiently for them to grow, sooner or later they will light up the country's technology tree and bring countless wealth to the motherland and the people.
However, during this special period, there are many people like Han Yabo who have been implicated and persecuted. Many people have been framed for no reason, trapped in dire straits without respect or relief, and endured endless humiliation and suffering. It is not uncommon for them to commit suicide because of this.
Ye Qing's own abilities are limited. She cannot change the current situation and policies. She can only save as many people as she can. Now Han Yabo has been brought out safely. This is definitely the most exciting news she has received since she came to this era.
Ye Qing did not take credit for Han Yabo's gratitude. Zhao Yuliang did not give them much time to reunite, so Ye Qing did not bother to exchange more pleasantries. She opened the medicine box she brought, picked up the silver needle, and walked up to Han Yabo, motioning him to stretch out his hand.
Song Chunhua quickly gave up her seat and asked Ye Qing to treat her husband.
After taking the pulse, Ye Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, her judgment was correct. Han Yabo's previous illness was extremely serious and almost took half his life. If the pills that Ye Qing asked Nie Wei to bring to Mohe had not been delivered in time, Han Yabo would have been exhausted by now, and only a weak and empty shell would be left.
Although the jars of pills that Ye Qing sent were not completely effective, they were pretty close. In addition, the pills contained wood energy, which had a certain repairing effect on Han Yabo's body. So after two months, his physical condition had improved a lot. Even though he was so thin that only skin and bones were left, at least he was not as terminally ill as before.
