Hua Fangfang chose a professor he thought was the most reliable from among the professors he had consulted at the Agricultural University, and waited at the entrance to the staff quarters with fresh tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, beans, as well as strawberries and watermelons specially contributed by his elder sister.
At lunch time, I saw from afar an old professor with white hair walking towards me after getting food from the cafeteria. I greeted him warmly.
"Uncle, I'm here to see you."
Hou Bin was recognized at a glance when he was walking with his colleagues.
This young man left a deep impression on him. He was a very simple and naive young man who thought things were very simple and honest.
The enthusiastic Hua Fangfang was very familiar and stepped forward to take the bag and lunch box.
"Uncle, I'm going to your house to sit down. I have something I need your help with."
"Why don't you go to the office?"
"Hey, it's not appropriate to go to the office."
Hou Bin led the way. Hua Fangfang looked at the crowded corridor, which had only a small path in the middle for people to pass through. It was full of things, all kinds of things.
At noon time, when cooking, a honeycomb coal stove is placed in the aisle.
When they walked to the innermost room, the aunt who opened the door saw Hua Fangfang, and they were both stunned.
"Auntie, what a coincidence."
"Young man, why are you here?"
"Hey, I came to see you for something."
"Come in and sit inside."
Hou Bin was confused as to how these two people knew each other.
"Lao Hou, this is the vegetable vendor I mentioned to you. I haven't seen you here recently. Are you not selling vegetables anymore?"
"I'm a little busy with other things. My brother is selling here."
"Hey, that boy!"
As Hua Fangfang spoke, she took off the large cloth bag on her shoulder and started taking things out.
"Uncle, aunt, I have troubled you several times. These things are all grown in our own fields and are not worth much."
"These old dishes are inedible!"
"Aunt, it's not much. You can keep it and eat it slowly. It won't go bad in the cold weather."
Hua Fangfang specifically picked the ones that are durable and used less leafy vegetables.
The temperature in this room is not even as warm as at home. You don't even need to take off your cotton jacket when you enter the room.
Innermost was a bundle of buns wrapped in a small snow-white quilt. Hua Fangfang arrived at noon and brought her own rations.
City people are different from village people. They have to buy food, which is not easy.
There was also a glass jar of homemade meat sauce.
"This bun is still warm, no need to heat it up. The big meat buns in our house are so expensive that you can't even buy them with money. They are only given away and not sold."
"Young man, tell me what you want first. I can't help you. You can take all these things."
"Uncle, Xiao Fang, you can just call me Xiao Fang. These are for thanking you for your help before."
"Xiao Fang, sit down quickly, let's eat first. We can talk about anything after dinner."
"Okay, auntie."
…
Hua Fangfang was eating the meat buns in big mouthfuls, but after eating two she stopped because she felt a little full in her stomach and decided to get down to business first.
I gave a general idea of my sister's thinking, following my own little notebook.
Hou Bin listened very carefully. He couldn't believe that this young man had such a smart mind.
This path is still not very realistic.
If a certain department or national unit wants to do this, it is fine.
But this young man is just one person and his strength is not enough.
“This road is not easy to travel.”
Not only is it difficult to walk, the chances of success are also low.
"Uncle, I know. It's like this. From a long-term perspective, the domestic and overseas routes will take more time..."
If they really want to do it, with the existing technology and personnel in the country, they can build a small factory, but this is not what Hua Yuanyuan wants.
It is not appropriate to go through a long process of gradually developing foreign technology in China.
Hua Yuanyuan would rather go through a little more trouble and spend more money to go abroad.
Hou Bin admired Hua Fangfang very much. It was not easy to come up with this idea, and he even spent money to try it out.
"Xiao Fang, have you calculated how much it will cost?"
"I haven't calculated it, but I know it will cost a lot of money. All the money my family earns in the next few years will have to be invested in it, and this money is not enough, hehe..."
Hua Fangfang leaned forward and lowered her voice several degrees, "Uncle, my sister said that we should go abroad to make money first and then spend our capital. That will be enough."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and gestured over and over again.
Five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, double it!
Hou Bin...
There happened to be no class in the afternoon that day, so Hua Fangfang talked freely, flipping through her notebook from time to time and asking a question.
"Uncle, did I say this?"
Only after making sure that my sister had conveyed everything she wanted to say did I leave with peace of mind.
Hua Fangfang asked Hou Bin to help introduce people who are studying or working abroad.
Hou Bin certainly has connections, but he won’t introduce them easily.
That Saturday, Hou Bin and his wife found the Hua family’s tractor selling vegetables and said they wanted to go with them to the Hua family.
Hua Qingguo first went to the post office and called home to ask if they knew this person. He only dared to bring the person back after he had agreed with his family.
The Hua family warmly welcomed the guests and took them around the greenhouse and showed them the workshop.
We had a lively dinner and slept at Hua's house for the night. On Sunday, we followed the tractor carrying vegetables back to Beijing.
On Saturday night, Hou Bin asked a lot of questions, involving some very deep plans.
In fact, Hua Yuanyuan is planning to take things one step at a time. There is no point in thinking too far ahead.
Like the first plan, I wrote a lot about every aspect, but ended up failing at the first step.
It's useless to overturn everything and start over again.
With the lessons learned, she didn't want to waste too much time and energy, and just wanted to sort out the general ideas.
The daughter-in-law wanted to talk about serious matters, so Hao Li took the children to sit with his parents.
The two kids started shouting before they even entered the yard.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt..."
Lao Wu and his family came to Beijing in 1986.
It was Hua Yuanyuan who took the initiative to invite them over. Firstly, she took into consideration that it would not be good for Hao Xue to be separated from her parents for a long time.
Another thing is to consider the long term, my parents-in-law will need someone to take care of them in the future.
It is no problem for Hua Yuanyuan to pay the money, but it is a bit difficult to provide the labor. Hiring an outsider is an option.
In the old man’s opinion, it is better to give the money to his own children than to outsiders.
It is the best choice for Lao Wu's family to come over, Hua Yuanyuan to pay, and they to take care of their parents-in-law in their old age.
My parents-in-law helped to raise the children, so there was no need for the old couple to go back to their hometown, which Hua Yuanyuan couldn't do.
