Sun Kaicheng... I just gave him a perfunctory answer, why are you all so worried? But that's just how their job is, when they're really busy they can't take care of their families at all.
"Don't worry, the factory will make arrangements for our families. Let's all cheer up. Now that we've overcome the biggest hurdle, let's work harder to get out and reunite with our families as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, if we work harder, we can go out and see our families sooner."
Seeing the people getting busy, Sun Kaicheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost discouraged them; he'd better just keep his good mood to himself.
Qian Xiao? Qian Xiao is a carefree person. She felt that everything was going naturally. Afterwards, she continued to study the model in her hand and polished her parts under the magnifying glass.
Hearing the knock on the door, Qian Xiao put down what she was holding and quickly came out of the space: "Coming, coming, who is it?"
"Erdan is me, your third uncle."
Qian Xiao opened the door: "Third Uncle? What brings you here? Come in quickly."
"I won't go in. I'm off tomorrow and I was thinking of going back to visit you, so I came to borrow your bicycle." Erdan's bicycle is really cool, but it's a bit wasteful to use gas.
Fortunately, he and his second brother were both drivers, so getting some gasoline wasn't difficult.
"Oh, what a coincidence? I'm going back tomorrow too, so it's perfect that my third uncle can take me back with him." With his third uncle taking him, he could at least protect him from the wind.
"Okay, I'll come find you first thing tomorrow morning and take you back with me. Have you eaten yet? Your second uncle has cooked dinner. Why don't you come and have some with us? When is Chengcheng coming back?"
Qian Sanbao assumed that Sun Kaicheng had gone on a business trip. His eldest niece often went on business trips, so he was used to it.
"It'll be a while, I won't go over now that I've eaten."
"Okay, then I'll head back now. If you need anything at home, come find us."
"I know, why would I be polite with you and my second uncle?"
"Close the door, lock it, and I'm leaving now."
"Okay, goodbye, Third Uncle."
Qian Xiao bolted the door and ran back into the house, shivering. It was so cold! She glanced at the stove, added two thicker pieces of wood, and then turned and went back into her space. It was much more comfortable to stay in her space during the winter.
Then she polished the parts in her hands under a magnifying glass. This was the last part, and she could hand it in when she returned from the village. She hoped that the model could be returned in the end, otherwise all her efforts would be wasted. She was thinking of keeping it as a keepsake.
"Double Egg, have you finished organizing all those documents for me?"
Double Egg lay lazily on the table, watching its host polish parts with a magnifying glass with boredom. It felt that its host was not afraid of wasting materials, but just liked to make small things.
It feels just like playing a puzzle with that kid.
"It's all organized. You can just write it down by hand now. Are you planning to continue after you finish this?"
Qian Xiao nodded: "This is very interesting, but I still need to read more books. There is still a lot of knowledge that I don't understand thoroughly, so it will be difficult to use it."
"Back then, I told you to learn more, but you wouldn't do it. How about it? Now you regret it, don't you?" Shuangdan's tone was full of disappointment and frustration.
Qian Xiao shook his head: "No, not really. I never thought I would like these things. Who would have thought that these things would actually be so interesting? They're much more interesting than playing with puzzles, and they're practical too."
"If we can develop at the same rate as other countries, we can import far fewer precision parts and machine tools, which will save a lot of foreign exchange."
At this point, Qian Xiao paused, put down the parts in her hand, and stared blankly at the lush greenery outside the window. When did she change her mind?
Before she had any memories of her past life, all she thought about was when she could have enough to eat. As long as she had enough to eat, she was still strong and could earn enough work points every day when she got a little older, which would also allow her to take better care of her mother and younger brother.
After gaining an extra piece of memory, she didn't become much more ambitious. She just wanted to study hard and prepare herself so that she could find a stable job in the city that would allow her to support herself without having to do farm work under the sun every day.
I was overjoyed after getting into university, thinking that with this diploma, I wouldn't have to worry about finding a job in the future. Even if the reform and opening up came later, I wouldn't be among the laid-off workers because of my diploma. When I retired, I could live a peaceful and stable life with my pension, and my later years would be secure.
When she actually started working and saw all sorts of difficulties, all she could do at first was sigh and think that things would be better in another ten or twenty years. But she never thought about making any changes herself.
She had a very clear understanding of herself, realizing that if it weren't for the accumulation of her past life, she wouldn't have been able to get into university and find a good job. She could only try her best to work hard and avoid making mistakes.
She never thought she was smarter than others. Despite her confident self-praise, she knew that she only had a decade or so more of learning experience, which made her stand out from the crowd.
During her last business trip, she encountered a foreigner who used insulting language like "lower class" and "yellow-skinned monkey." At that moment, she really wanted to punch him twice and send him flying. It felt like something was burning inside her.
She clearly remembers this period of history. Back then, she was indignant when she saw the written descriptions, but when she actually faced it, it was as if something suppressed inside her suddenly burst forth.
The feeling of being looked down upon was unpleasant. At that moment, she thought about changing something. She wanted to try and see if she could make some small changes for her beloved and great mother if she could start over.
She wanted to make a small contribution to the country she loved, and her previous complacent and easygoing attitude was immediately suppressed. It turned out that she really did have the heart of a radical youth and a patriotic soul.
Looking at the small machine on the table, she realized that she had done it too. She realized that she didn't just rely on her cleverness to have such a good life. As long as she worked hard, she could also become an outstanding person!
Qian Xiao's voice came out, sounding somewhat ethereal and distant, almost unreal: "Shuangdan, do you think I've done it? Can I become a person who is useful to society and the country?"
Shuangdan stretched out its paw and patted Qian Xiao's hand. Although it was just patting the air, Qian Xiao felt comforted.
"Host, you are really smart. I'm not exaggerating. You just lacked confidence and self-awareness. Look how well you're doing now."
