Qin Hanshu had seen Zhao Chunmiao's enthusiasm before, but she was still a little flattered. "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you."
As he spoke, he handed over the can of fruit in his hand.
"Ouch! Why are you sending me something again!" Zhao Chunmiao raised her hand towards Zhou Ruilan, "You woman, why don't you stop me?"
Zhou Ruilan quickly hid behind Qin Hanshu.
Qin Hanshu said hurriedly: "Auntie, it's not right to come empty-handed when visiting someone's house. Please accept it. This way I will feel more comfortable."
"You are too polite..." Zhao Chunmiao smiled bitterly, and finally made up his mind to accept the can.
Zhou Ruilan walked behind with the can in her hands. Zhao Chunmiao grabbed Qin Hanshu's hand and pulled her into the house, looking affectionate.
Zhou Ruilan behind him couldn't help but feel jealous and muttered, "You forget your own daughter when you see your daughter-in-law. No, this isn't even your daughter-in-law..."
Qin Hanshu didn't hear clearly, so he turned around and asked, "Lanhua, what did you say?"
Zhao Chunmiao pulled Qin Hanshu back and said with a smile, "This kid just loves to mumble to herself, ignore her!" Then he secretly glared at Zhou Ruilan, meaning to tell her to stop talking nonsense.
Zhou Ruilan also pursed her lips in regret. After all, this was just a little thought between her and her mother. If she said it out loud and the person in charge heard it, wouldn't it be so embarrassing?
After entering the house, Zhao Chunmiao asked Qin Hanshu to sit on the kang and placed the washed grapes in front of her.
Zhou Ruilan said first: "These are planted behind our house. My mother personally picked the reddest ones and prepared them for you!"
Qin Hanshu felt increasingly uncomfortable - this treatment was a bit too good.
If she followed her usual way of thinking when faced with such a situation, she should have been trying to guess what the Zhou family's purpose was and what they wanted to get from her.
But for some reason, she didn't think about it at all at this moment.
"Thank you, Auntie." Qin Hanshu took the grapes Zhao Chunmiao handed to her and put them into her mouth under Zhao Chunmiao's expectant gaze.
It’s sour and sweet, very delicious.
Qin Hanshu smiled and nodded, "Delicious!"
Zhao Chunmiao smiled happily, "You and Lanhua play here, I'll go cook some dishes, and we'll have dinner when your uncle comes back." After saying that, he turned and left.
Zhou Ruilan also sat on the kang and ate some grapes.
Qin Hanshu asked: "Where is the branch secretary?"
"They are at the team headquarters." Zhou Ruilan spat out grape seeds. "Accountant Niu has set up a radio station, and they are discussing the broadcaster."
At this point, Zhou Ruilan leaned in and asked Qin Hanshu: "My dad said that if you want to be a broadcaster, he would suggest it to Accountant Niu."
With a "gulp", a grape seed in his mouth unexpectedly slipped into his throat. Qin Hanshu hurriedly patted his chest.
After coughing twice, she shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Secretary. However, my ability is limited and I am afraid I am not qualified for the position of broadcaster."
"Oh!" Zhou Ruilan waved her hand nonchalantly, "What's so wrong with that? You're too modest."
Qin Hanshu still shook his head, "Forget it, I don't need those two jobs anyway."
Zhou Ruilan thought about it and realized that Qin Hanshu had good conditions and there was really no need for him to find more work for her, so she stopped talking about it.
The two of them chatted casually.
Zhou Ruilan's gaze gradually shifted to Qin Hanshu's face.
She wondered, "Xiao Qin, do you use vanishing cream on your face every day? Why do I feel like your face has become much younger after not seeing you for a few days?"
Qin Hanshu touched his face and asked doubtfully: "Is there?"
Every day, whether she is cooking, drinking water or washing her face, she mostly uses space water. At first, she could clearly feel the changes in her skin, but later, she gradually couldn't feel them anymore.
Zhou Ruilan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, she looks so slippery and tender, just like my three-year-old niece!"
Qin Hanshu smiled and said casually: "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm in a good mood after cutting in line?"
Zhou Ruilan asked curiously, "Other educated youth don't miss home, so why are you so happy? Don't you miss home?"
Qin Hanshu paused, smiled and shook his head: "I miss home, but..."
But what she missed was the home when her father was still alive, but unfortunately she could never go back.
Zhou Ruilan was about to say something when Zhou Changan's voice was heard outside.
Zhou Changan came back and Zhao Chunmiao had finished cooking the dishes. Qin Hanshu followed Zhou Ruilan to serve the food to the table.
The meal prepared by Zhao Chunmiao was very sumptuous.
Stir-fried winter squash, cold cucumber salad, pork ribs stewed with potatoes, and a big pot of stew.
The staple food is white facial mask, and the thin food also includes golden, fragrant and glutinous millet porridge.
Zhao Chunmiao also said: "It's not that good, Xiao Qin, you just have to eat it."
Qin Hanshu hurriedly said: "Auntie, this is already very good!"
Nowadays, entertaining guests with food like this would be considered impressive no matter where you are.
Zhao Chunmiao smiled and said, "Auntie knows that your family is well-off, and the food must be good, but it is inevitable that you will eat more casually when you are alone. Come over often in the future, tell me what you want to eat, and I will make it for you..."
"Ahem!" Zhou Changan interrupted Zhao Chunmiao's enthusiasm and pointed at the millet porridge and said, "It's a bit dry. Add more water next time."
Zhao Chunmiao glared at him and said, "Eat your food, why are you asking for so much?"
Zhou Changan was not annoyed and remained calm as usual.
After a while, he turned to Qin Hanshu and asked, "Is Xiao Zhang still researching power generation?"
Qin Hanshu was stunned for a moment before she realized that he was talking about Zhang Kangmei's research on biogas power generation - she had almost forgotten about it.
"It seems like he is still flipping through the book..."
Zhou Changan shook his head and said, "Just flipping through books won't do. You are educated youth, so you must know the phrase 'working behind closed doors'."
Qin Hanshu also nodded, "Yes, if you want to accomplish something, you must practice it."
"Every winter is the time when power shortage is most serious. If we can generate electricity ourselves, it will also reduce the burden on the country, right?" Zhou Changan handed the bowl to Zhou Ruilan, motioning for her to help add a bowl of millet porridge.
Then he continued, "There is a Guangming Farm in Liangping Commune. I heard that they have developed a biogas power plant. I plan to send a few of you educated youth there to learn how they do it."
Guangming Farm? Isn't that where Hu Wenwen went to work in the countryside?
Zhou Changan looked at Qin Hanshu and asked, "If you want to go, I'll make the arrangements."
If the biogas power generation project in Haowan Village is successful, it will be a record for all participants, which will be beneficial whether they are recruited for work in the future or return to the city.
"Thank you, Secretary. I'll go."
In addition to Qin Hanshu, Zhang Kangmei, who was the first to clamor for biogas power generation, will definitely go, and the branch secretary also mentioned Lin Zhiheng.
The reason why Lin Zhiheng was chosen was purely because the secretary knew that Lin Zhiheng's grandfather was a scientific researcher. Although biogas power generation is not considered scientific research, it still has technical content, and smart people should learn it.
As the saying goes, like birds, like birds. The grandson of a scientist must be smarter than others!
When we finally set off, Zhao Ru was added.
Zhao Ru naturally wanted to go from the beginning, but the team had the final say, and her subjective wishes were not important at all.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the branch secretary actually called her name.
After being surprised, Zhao Ru felt a little puzzled.
Why did the branch secretary suddenly call her name?
Zhao Ru accidentally met Qin Hanshu's eyes. The other's originally calm eyes suddenly curved. It seemed that he was smiling, but his dark eyes were shaking with incomprehensible emotions.
Zhao Ru shuddered and quickly lowered her eyes, feeling uneasy.
Qin Hanshu also withdrew his gaze, and the corners of his mouth slowly flattened.
That’s right, Zhao Ru’s participation was facilitated by Qin Hanshu.
She didn't take Zhao Ru seriously at first. Even though she kept making trouble, she just thought of Zhao Ru as a clown with no lethality.
However, in the past two days, space monitoring showed that Zhao Ru would spy on her cave every day when she was not at home.
When no one was around, the hatred in Zhao Ru's eyes was frightening.
Qin Hanshu suddenly felt as if there was a poisonous snake staring at her from behind, and she didn't know when it would jump up and bite her.
Instead of being on guard and nervous all the time, it is better to stimulate the venomous snake and make it jump first, so that you can strangle her weak spot.
Hu Wenwen was "thinking about" her, and Zhao Ru was also "thinking about" her.
When these two people meet, you never know what sparks will fly.
