Wang Chengping's personal presence meant that they had to go through the military channel. The military was acting on orders and there was no time to lose. Qin Qingman quickly packed up her and Chuchu's spare clothes.
The weather in Beijing in September is not that cold, but you still need to bring a thicker coat.
Qin Qingman owned property in the capital in her previous life and had lived there for many years, so she knew the climate there.
He took two thin sweaters and two sets of spare clothes for himself and Chuchu. He left a note for Huang Wanqing to explain the situation before leaving with Wang Chengping, carrying the wolf cub.
"Comrade Qin, don't worry. Someone from the commune will ask for leave for you. It won't affect your work. We'll pick up Chuchu in the town and leave."
Wang Chengping sat in the co-pilot seat and explained further to Qin Qingman.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble the other comrades."
There were many things Qin Qingman couldn't ask, because the matter involved the Chairman and the army, so she couldn't ask any more questions.
Wang Chengping could see Qin Qingman's caution, and took the initiative to explain again: "Comrade Qin, the chairman is very kind, don't be afraid, don't worry, he just wants to see you."
It is a great honor to be received by the Chairman in person. It is absolutely impossible to say that I am not nervous.
Whenever Qin Qingman thought about meeting a great man, her face would turn slightly red with excitement, and her expression would also be slightly excited. "Commander, I am excited and happy to think about being received by the Chairman. I am really worried that I will say something wrong."
She wasn't lying.
Qin Qingman had only seen the great man in paintings in her past life and this life. This time she had the opportunity to see him in person. Whenever she thought of his great achievements, she couldn't control her excitement.
In this era, no one is not excited to meet the Chairman.
Qin Qingman's reaction at this time was normal. If she wasn't for her introverted and calm personality, she would have been so excited that she would have been incoherent.
So Wang Chengping understood Qin Qingman's excitement and passion, and whispered a few words to comfort Qin Qingman.
The car was almost at the town's primary school.
Because they had to take a military plane to Beijing, Wang Chengping and his team could not move slowly. As early as when Wang Chengping went to pick up Qin Qingman, he had arranged for someone to go to the school to pick up Chuchu. As for the wolf cub, he was already sitting in the car with Qin Qingman.
The wolf cub had no idea that he would go to Beijing to meet the Chairman.
At this moment, it was sitting beside Qin Qingman, looking at the scenery outside the window intently. In September, the mountains around Hongqi Town were covered with green trees, and countless fruits filled the branches, ready to be picked in just a month.
"I wish the fruit trees we planted could produce so many fruits."
Wang Chengping was also looking at the mountains outside the window. Strictly speaking, this was a mountainous area, so there were mountains everywhere. Only in Hongqi Town, due to its terrain, there was a large canyon, which was why Hongqi Farm existed.
Red Flag Farm not only grows various types of grains, but also grows fruit trees.
Autumn is here, and it won't be long before the fruits are ripe, which will be a bountiful feast for everyone.
The autumn harvest is the most exciting event every year.
"Master, if the fruit tree seedlings are good, they should be able to produce a lot of fruit."
Qin Qingman was not engaged in farming in her previous life, but because of the overwhelming information about later generations, she also knew that if fruit trees wanted to bear good and abundant fruits, they must have good seedlings, just like food.
High-yield grain crops are the result of generations of grain reforms.
Although the grain seeds in the 1970s were not as good as those in later generations, they were much better than before liberation, because they had a good grandfather who was admired and loved by people all over the world. It was this good grandfather who ensured that our country's rapidly growing population would have enough food to eat and no longer go hungry.
Wang Chengping was just looking out the window and sighing, but he didn't expect Qin Qingman to pick up his words. He was stunned for a second and then laughed, "Yes, Comrade Qin is right. As long as the seedlings are good, the fruits will be good."
This principle applies to all things.
The car was driving fast, several times faster than a horse carriage. Ten minutes later, Qin Qingman and the others arrived at the primary school in Hongqi Town.
At the entrance of the elementary school, Chuchu and Du Hongyi were standing upright.
As soon as the car stopped, Chuchu rushed over, "Sister, what happened? Why do you need leave?" Du Hongyi came to pick him up and did not directly tell him that he would take him to Beijing to meet the chairman.
Even the reason for asking for leave from school would not be an audience with the chairman.
So the child was confused, and when he saw Qin Qingman he couldn't help but ask.
Qin Qingman picked up the wolf cub and asked Chuchu and Du Hongyi to get in the car. After the two got in, the car drove directly to Baicheng. The military airport is in Baicheng.
"Chu Chu, nothing happened, we just have to go on a long trip."
Qin Qingman pinched the child's plump cheeks teasingly.
"Where are we going? The provincial capital?" Chu Chu had been to Baicheng with Qin Qingman and the others, and knew that the distant gate Qin Qingman mentioned must be a place farther than Baicheng. Chen Jing often came to their house, and since Chen Jing was from the provincial capital, the child subconsciously thought that this distant gate was the provincial capital.
“It’s farther than the provincial capital.”
Du Hongyi also wanted to tease the child.
Although they have not received accurate news about Wei Ling, they know that Wei Ling is still alive. As long as a person is alive, that is the greatest happiness.
"Still farther?" Chu Chu became even more curious after hearing Du Hongyi's words.
"Yes, guess boldly." Du Hongyi encouraged the child.
Chuchu couldn't guess, because the farthest he had been was Baicheng, and he had not yet learned geography when he started school. He knew that our country was very big, and there were countless places he didn't know about.
With curiosity, Chuchu turned her gaze to Qin Qingman's face.
He even held the wolf cub in Qin Qingman's arms against himself. He always felt that his sister's words would surprise him greatly.
Qin Qingman did not disappoint Chuchu's guess and replied, "We are going to the capital."
"Go to the capital!" Chu Chu was shocked.
"Yes, not only are we going to the capital, but we will also be received by the chairman himself. Are you happy?" Qin Qingman reached out her hand again and gently pinched the child's face. The child was well raised by her, and his little face was extremely soft and smooth.
"Sister...you...you mean the Chairman wants to meet us?"
It took Chuchu a while to react. She stood up subconsciously in excitement. If Du Hongyi hadn't quickly put out his hand to protect her, the child's head would definitely have hit the roof of the car.
The child ignored his head and excitedly lay on Qin Qingman's knees.
Her little face flushed with excitement and she couldn't control the smile on her face.
After going to school, he knew who the Chairman was and that he had led the people of the country to live a free and good life.
The children could no longer control their excitement at the thought of the Chairman receiving their family.
"The chairman who lives in Beijing wants to meet us. We are on our way to Beijing now." Since there were no outsiders around, Qin Qingman didn't have to hide anything from the child and told him the destination directly.
"Great...Great! We are going to meet the Chairman."
Chuchu's eyes are full of stars.
As a Chinese, there is no one who does not admire and worship the Chairman.
Chuchu's excitement lasted until she boarded the military plane. It was not Wang Chengping who accompanied Qin Qingman and the others to the capital.
As a military leader in charge, Wang Chengping could not leave the division headquarters easily, so the task of accompanying and protecting him was given to Du Hongyi.
"Comrade Qin, don't worry about anything. Don't be afraid when you meet the Chairman. Just answer whatever he asks you truthfully. The Chairman is very approachable and will not blame you even if you say something wrong. Don't be nervous."
Wang Chengping gave Qin Qingman and others careful instructions before sending them on the plane.
"Commander, I understand." Qin Qingman nodded solemnly to Wang Chengping.
"Let's go." Wang Chengping waved to Qin Qingman and others.
"Goodbye, Master."
Qin Qingman and others boarded the military plane and said goodbye to Wang Chengping at the cabin entrance.
A few minutes later, the military plane took off into the sky and disappeared in the air in just a dozen seconds.
This was the first time for Qin Qingman and her family to take a plane.
Qin Qingman was able to remain calm because of her experience from the future, but Chuchu and the wolf cub were completely shocked and excited.
When the plane took off, the wolf cub was so scared that he crawled into Qin Qingman's arms. Although he couldn't see the plane taking off, he could feel the weightlessness, and the feeling of weightlessness made the wolf cub feel completely unsafe.
He threw himself directly into Qin Qingman's arms.
Chuchu also acted like the wolf cub. For the two younger ones, even though Du Hongyi's tall stature made them feel more secure, they only believed in Qin Qingman and trusted Qin Qingman the most.
"Don't be afraid, the plane will be stable soon."
Qin Qingman soothed the two kids lying on top of her.
"Yes, don't be afraid. This is the feeling you get when the plane takes off. It will be stable in a while, and the feeling of weightlessness will disappear after it is stable." Du Hongyi, who was sitting next to them, also comforted them.
"I'm not afraid."
Chuchu is already six years old and knows how to save face.
After being comforted by Qin Qingman and Du Hongyi in succession, he was no longer so scared, but he still had to be tough.
Hearing Chuchu's final stubbornness, Qin Qingman and Du Hongyi both laughed silently.
After more than ten minutes, Chuchu and the wolf cub adjusted to the airflow and calmed down. They just lay on the cabin glass and looked out.
You can see white clouds like waves, the bluer sky, and the tiny mountains below the plane.
Every time they saw something, the two little ones' eyes widened.
They did not utter any ignorant exclamations, but simply admired and were shocked in silence.
In this way, the journey will not be so boring and empty.
Baicheng is not only far from Beijing, but even though they were on a military plane, it took them more than two hours to reach the airport in the southern suburbs of Beijing.
It is a military airport.
As soon as they got off the plane, a special person came to pick up Qin Qingman and her group.
After the docking, Qin Qingman and the others got on a special car, which left Nanjiao Airport and entered Beijing.
The capital city in the 1970s was more prosperous than in the 1960s, and had a larger population. Although it cannot compare with the rapid development of later generations, the city now already has some of the prototypes of later generations.
Some planning has already begun.
"Sister, the capital is so beautiful, there are so many beautiful houses, so tall."
Chuchu held the wolf cub tightly and sat next to Qin Qingman, looking at the scenery outside the car window and whispering in Qin Qingman's ear. Because there were outsiders around, the child knew to calm down his excitement.
Qin Qingman was very satisfied to see the children perform so well. She reached out and touched Chuchu and the wolf cub's heads one by one.
After Qin Qingman patted their heads, the two little ones calmed down.
When I saw the buildings and new things I had never seen before outside the car window, I stopped talking and just admired them quietly, imprinting this beautiful scene in my mind and showing it off to the children in the village when I got back.
The person who came to pick up Qin Qingman and the others was a military man, Long Jianan, director of the General Logistics Department.
He had been silently watching Qin Qingman and her brother from the co-pilot seat.
So far, Long Jianan has always admired this beautiful pair of siblings.
They were polite, cultured, and well-mannered, even their clothes were clean and tidy. If he hadn't known that they were from the countryside and had their information, he would have thought that the brother and sister were raised by a well-off family in the capital.
Wei Ling really married a good wife, better than many families in the capital.
Long Jianan knew Wei Ling. Not only did he know Wei Ling, he was very familiar with him. After all, Wei Ling was from Beijing, his parents and brothers were all in Beijing, and they worked in the same system. He was not familiar with Wei Ling, but he knew him.
He was very surprised when he heard that Wei Ling had gone to the border.
According to Wei Ling's family background and rank, no one would transfer him to the frontier unless he requested it.
As a result, Wei Ling did not play by the rules. Not only did he request to be transferred to the frontier, but he also made amazing achievements in less than three years.
Such a merit is sure to earn you three consecutive promotions.
In the 1970s, it was harder than climbing to the sky to get a third-level rank in the military.
If it was in the early days of the founding of the country, it would be possible to have such an opportunity. Now it is really difficult. There are so many soldiers, and everyone wants to have the credit, but you also need the opportunity and ability to do it.
Long Jianan was not jealous of Wei Ling, he just admired and respected him.
After all, ordinary people cannot achieve such achievements as Wei Ling. If they are less capable, let alone achievements, they would have died in a foreign country instead of returning with great achievements.
The car drove on, and did not go to □□ or Xishan, but to the guesthouse of the military logistics department.
"Comrade Qin, Comrade Du Hongyi, you have just arrived. Take a good rest for a few days. We will arrange for someone to accompany you around the capital during these days. I will pick you up when the chairman decides on a time."
Long Jianan gave clear instructions only after he had arranged rooms for Qin Qingman and the others.
"This is Xiao Zheng. He will be in charge of accompanying you for the next few days. You can tell him if you need anything, and he can take you wherever you want to go." Long Jianan introduced the driver to Qin Qingman and the others.
"Okay, thank you Comrade Jianan."
Qin Qingman shook hands with Long Jianan. She knew that the Chairman was very busy and it would be impossible for them to be received as soon as they arrived in Beijing.
"Comrade Qin, you're welcome. Our logistics department will reimburse all your expenses in Beijing." Long Jianan took out a note and handed it to Qin Qingman.
The approval note was stamped with the official seal of the General Logistics Department.
This means that Qin Qingman and others are temporarily under the control of the military. With this approval, they can go to many places.
"Comrade Jianan, thank you for your hard work."
Qin Qingman breathed a sigh of relief when she received the approval slip.
At that time, our country had very strict identity checks. Not only did you have to get a certificate to go out, you also had to have a place to receive you. Otherwise, if you went out casually, you would be sent back to your hometown. This is why so many educated youth could not go home easily after going to the countryside.
Without travel and local acceptance certificates, you can't move forward.
Because I can’t even take public transportation.
"Comrade Qin, Comrade Du Hongyi, you should have a good rest. I will come to see you another day." Long Jianan was the director of the General Logistics Department. He was very busy and could not accompany Qin Qingman and others all the time. He exchanged a few polite words before leaving.
The others left, but the driver Xiao Zheng and the car stayed.
With a car, Qin Qingman and her friends can go anywhere in Beijing easily.
"Comrade Xiao Zheng, we need to pack our luggage first. Please wait for us for half an hour." Qin Qingman looked at the watch on her wrist. It was almost time for dinner, so she planned to pack up and go out for dinner.
"Comrade Qin, I'm waiting for you in the lobby downstairs. Please feel free to come and see me."
Xiao Zheng is a young guy in his early twenties. He always smiles when he speaks and is very likable.
Qin Qingman smiled and said, "Okay, we'll go downstairs to find you later."
"Okay." Xiao Zheng saluted Qin Qingman and the others and turned to go downstairs.
"Sister-in-law, Chuchu, please check out your rooms first. I'll go back to my room to tidy up. We'll meet in the lobby downstairs later." Du Hongyi came with Qin Qingman and her brother. His room was next door.
"Brother Du, go and do your work. Let's go back to the room and take a look."
Qin Qingman was familiar with Du Hongyi, so they didn't bother to exchange pleasantries. After a few simple words, they went back to their rooms.
The room was not as big as hotel rooms in later generations, but there were two beds in the room, and both the sheets and the floor were very clean.
Although it looks simple, it is clean and tidy.
Even though the decoration was not as good as that in later times, Qin Qingman could lie down and sleep peacefully, because the waiters in that era were still very simple and honest and would not do anything dishonest. They really cleaned and washed.
"Chu Chu, are you hot? Do you want to change into some thinner clothes?"
Qin Qingman asked as she packed her luggage.
The longitude and latitude of the capital city are different from those of Kaoshantun, so the temperature will be higher. As long as the temperature is not low in the morning or evening, you can just wear a short-sleeved shirt during the day.
"Sister, it's a little hot."
Chuchu wiped the sweat from her forehead and answered Qin Qingman.
"Then go wash your face, wipe your body, and change your clothes." Qin Qingman had already taken out a thin long-sleeved shirt for Chuchu from the luggage bag. The sleeves of such clothes can be rolled up when it is hot, and can be put down when it is cold. It is just right for this season.
After saying this, she took the washbasin provided by the hotel and took Chuchu to the water room at the end of the corridor to get water to wash their faces and wipe their necks.
The conditions were not as good as those in later generations. There were no independent toilets in the rooms, and washing and bathing were all shared.
In the bathroom, Qin Qingman wiped Chu Chu thoroughly with the towel she brought from home, and also wiped her own face before returning to her room.
When I entered the room, I saw two hot water bottles filled with water at the door.
She guessed that it was Xiao Zheng or Du Hongyi who asked the front desk clerk for hot water, so she brought the kettle into the house.
This will be the water they drink and use.
The brother and sister both changed their clothes, then closed the door and went to the hall downstairs.
Xiao Zheng and Du Hongyi were both sitting in the waiting area on one side of the hall. They were both soldiers and had a common topic, so they were talking in a low voice. However, soldiers are used to multitasking, so when they noticed the presence of Qin Qingman and her brother, they turned around and looked over.
"Comrade Qin, it's noon now. Do you want to eat in the canteen of the guesthouse or go out to eat?" Du Hongyi asked Qin Qingman.
He brought a lot of grain coupons and money with him to Beijing this time, and he would definitely be able to take good care of Qin Qingman and her brother for Wei Ling.
"If we eat out..."
Qin Qingman looked down at the wolf cub.
In later times, pets were not allowed into restaurants, let alone in this era.
The ignorant wolf cub looked up at Qin Qingman, with confusion and excitement in his big eyes. Coming to the big city, the wolf cub was not afraid at all. As long as Qin Qingman was by his side, he dared to make trouble.
