Qiu Yuling was relieved and at most took advantage of the time when the father and son were out to cut the apples into pieces and take out the orange segments...
The couple was in a hard sleeper compartment, and thanks to their connections they were able to buy lower berths.
There was no one on the upper bunk, but there was a man and a woman on the middle bunk above her head. They seemed to be acquaintances. As to whether they were husband and wife, lovers, or just colleagues, Qiu Yuling did not delve into it.
She is not curious about others, but she can't stand others being curious about them.
"Hey, you are also educated youth who went to the countryside, right? Are you going back to the city to visit your relatives or..." or to take over the job?
"Visiting relatives." Less trouble is worse than more. Qiu Yuling didn't want to say more, so she ended with the answer that was as worry-free as possible.
The other party's interest in chatting did not fade so easily. "We are going back to work. We have a receiving unit. We don't need to come back..."
The tone of her voice was boastful but also a little excited. The girl didn't care whether Qiu Yuling was enthusiastic or not, and continued to talk on her own.
Just as Qiu Yuling was about to get up and hide away under the pretext of fetching water, Li Xingyao came in holding his beloved daughter in his arms and a bag of food in his other hand.
The two almost bumped into each other. Li Xingyao had both hands full and almost couldn't hold his wife, causing her to fall.
After he freed the person and put him on the bunk, and also placed little Tuanan next to his mother, he freed his hands and asked Qiu Yuling if she was hurt.
"How could that be? I didn't hit anything. What are you talking about?"
"I took Nannan to the food cart. The little girl was greedy, so I bought some peach cakes and braised food for you and your daughter to have a good meal. It will be time for lunch soon, so we'll go over there. The lunch box is..."
The girl who went to bed had eyes that lit up again and again.
Qiu Yuling and her friends came up in the morning. At first, she was still asleep and didn't want to open her eyes when she heard the noise. She only knew that there were probably three people coming up.
When the noise in the carriage gradually grew louder and she could no longer sleep, she finally opened her eyes. She didn't want to talk at first, but when she saw Qiu Yuling's dress and her extraordinary temperament, she couldn't help but join in the conversation.
At this moment, Li Xingyao came in from outside holding a child. His sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, as well as his gentle and appropriate way of speaking, seemed even more suitable to him.
"Comrade, this is your wife and child, right? It looks like you are all educated youth, right?..."
After a series of questions, Qiu Yuling was busy taking care of her daughter and had no time to say anything. As for Li Xingyao, she had been known as the most beautiful girl in the unit for many years, and that was not earned for nothing. Except in front of her family, she always acted coldly and looked down on others.
"...How rude! Why is this..."
Seeing that the couple in the lower bunk were silent, the girl in the middle bunk felt embarrassed. She felt that the other party was very rude and ignored her enthusiasm.
So when another man in the middle bunk brought back some porridge and steamed buns from outside and called her down to eat, she also got angry and said, "Eat, eat, eat. What's so delicious? If you can't finish it, eat it yourself..."
When the man and Li Xingyao were holding the child, they went out almost at the same time. He didn't know what happened in between. After he came back, his girlfriend had changed from her previous good mood to this state, which made him completely confused.
Seeing the little girl in the lower bunk, her big, sparkling eyes stared at him without blinking, she shyly raised the steamed bun in her hand and said, "Little boy, would you like some?"
"No, thank you." This was the first sentence Li Xingyao said after getting on the train, except when buying food, unless it was necessary.
Although it was dry, it was a no response.
Hearing this, Qiu Yuling looked up and smiled, "The child has eaten, but he's just curious about everything he sees."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of food boxes that they had brought with them before getting on the bus. He opened them one by one, and found that one layer was filled with eggs.
She was about to wash her hands and peel eggs for the father and son, but Li Xingyao held her down and said, "Let me go. Give me the towel. I'll get it wet and you two can wipe it. Do you want some porridge? I'll get you some..."
He is very quiet when talking to others, but it is a different story when talking to his wife. He often has a lot to say to her.
Qiu Yuling interrupted him, "If you don't want to drink it, get some hot water and make some milk powder for Nan Nan. We can just drink some to get by..."
The girl above her head grew angrier and angrier as she listened. "Listen, what kind of talk is this? Just drinking milk powder, and you're still saying you can just make do with it..."
"Pretentious..."
Qiu Yuling said softly in her heart, if she dared to offend her for the third time, she would not tolerate it.
Fortunately, maybe she saved face, so for the rest of the journey, the girl kept a cold face, as if everyone owed her eight million, and she finished the whole journey.
Although the atmosphere was a bit cold, it was less noisy, which was a good thing for Qiu Yuling's family.
The girl was still thinking about getting off the bus and leaving the station in style, and slapping the faces of the two people who had been pretending to be rich all the way.
Let them see who is truly powerful!
As a result, as soon as they got out of the station, Qiu Yuling and the other two were picked up by a small jeep. She opened her mouth wide and her companions shouted at her several times before she came to her senses.
"Look, your elder sister and the others."
The girl looked and saw her elder sister pushing a 28-inch bicycle and waving at her from the other side of the red line.
Her originally excited heart instantly cooled down...
In the jeep!
"Xiao Qiu, you came just in time. The Kuomintang delegation just left a few days ago, and there are some details that need to be worked out..."
Before coming, she had told Minister Luan her real purpose in advance. They were willing to cooperate and enthusiastically reimbursed the travel expenses. She was just making up an excuse at this moment.
But this is not an excuse that Qiu Yuling can respond to. She has nothing to do with anything related to core politics!
Then he talked about the economic changes brought about by the summit.
At this point, Minister Luan sighed, "Enterprises may be overly dependent on the technology and capital of foreign companies, and lack the ability to innovate and develop independently.
This dependence could put our industry in a passive position in the long term, making it difficult to develop independent brands and core technologies with international competitiveness."
This is understandable and is also an unavoidable practical difficulty at the moment. Qiu Yuling has no better solution.
Seeing that she was also worried, Minister Luan smiled brightly, "How is it? Is the launch of your new project going smoothly? It's also because of what I just told you that the State Council attaches great importance to our independent innovation..."
By the way, I explained to Qiu Yuling why I was so concerned about the installation factory some time ago.
"I'm here mainly for this. I got some inspiration from my last trip to Europe, but neither the ideas nor the technology are mature. This time, I'm here to ask for support from a few key technical personnel to bring back..."
