Having failed to save any money on his own and even owing his wife a house, Shen Xianjun dared not keep any more of his allowance.
"I'm giving you everything Mom gave me last time; I didn't keep anything for myself."
Is ten yuan enough?
Qin Nian took out ten yuan and happened to hear Shen Xianjun's words, and couldn't help but smile.
"Mom gave you money last time, so why are you only giving it to me now?"
Qin Nian couldn't help but have a mischievous thought pop into her head.
“That was to get a tricycle for Mom, and then I didn’t run into you, so I just kept the money. I didn’t spend it recklessly.”
Shen Xianjun couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Hmm, since Mom gave it to you, why are you giving it to me?"
Qin Nian continued speaking.
"Mom said something that's quite true: the more a man manages money, the poorer he becomes; the more a woman manages money, the richer she becomes."
"Then you won't let Mom manage it? You'll give it to me? Aren't you afraid Mom will get angry?"
Shen Xianjun remained silent, a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Nian stopped teasing Shen Xianjun.
"Hey, here's another ten dollars for you. It's not good if you don't have money on hand when you need it."
Qin Nian took out another bill and stuffed it into Chen Xianjun's hand, then put all the money into her bag.
“I always feel that you and Mom have an excessively good relationship. My status in this family is probably only slightly higher than the chickens in Mom’s chicken coop.”
Shen Xianjun carefully put the money away from his body. He only had twenty yuan left on him. Fortunately, he didn't have any bad habits.
"How could that be? If Mom didn't value you, why would she travel all the way to the capital to take care of me? And she cares so much about both of her children. Don't overthink it."
Qin Nian offered a word of comfort, and then Hu Jun brought someone over to find her.
"Niannian, this is a leader from our military industry department. He has something he wants to discuss with you. I'll take you upstairs."
Seeing this, Shen Xianjun instinctively stood guard at the door as well.
“Researcher Qin, I was supposed to go to the research institute to find you, but I happened to have some free time today and we were in the same place, so I had Comrade Hu Jun bring me here. I hope you don’t mind.”
“I don’t mind. Please tell me what’s wrong. If I can help, I’d be very happy to.”
"That's great. Researcher Qin has been abroad for the past two years and must have felt deeply that the gap between our country's development and theirs is too big. In all aspects, there is a lot of room for us to catch up. In terms of communication and information, foreign countries have already developed electronic communication, while we are still completely blank in computer communication and information."
The old man had a head of white hair, and his eyes were kind and deep.
"You participated in the 'Galaxy' project, and the projection program you recently developed is excellent. Your research team is also researching home appliance projects, including this washing machine, which I think are all very promising directions. The country needs talents like you to revitalize its economy through science and technology."
Qin Nian smiled gently after receiving the old man's affirmation and continued listening.
"Science and technology will be the sharpest weapon for our country's future. I hope that you young people can make good use of science and technology to revitalize the country, benefit the people, and boost agriculture. It can be applied to all aspects of life."
Qin Nian nodded. She thought so too and was working hard in that direction, hoping to one day see the country's rapid development and contribute to it.
You mean you want children to have access to computers?
Qin Nian originally thought the development would start with college students, but she didn't expect the leader to have a much longer-term vision.
"Yes, they are the future of our country and should be exposed to new things in the world as early as possible. It's just that foreign computers are too expensive. If we can make our own computers or control the cost of computers, it will be a good thing for both the country and the people."
The idea of producing computers sparked in Qin Nian's mind.
"Actually, our military region has also purchased a batch of computers, which many of our comrades have never used before. However, I think computers will play a very crucial role in the future military. Researcher Qin, could you spare some time, or recommend someone to come to our military region to teach everyone how to use them?"
The old leader shifted his focus from the future to the present.
