Although Su Aimin's tone was angry, his face was already full of joy. His eyes wandered around the newspaper, looking for Su Qingyun's name.
"Here! Here it is!" Su Aimin pointed to a place on the newspaper excitedly. Su Qingyun leaned over to take a look. The provincial newspaper published a lot of things every day, and the space available for commendations was not large, just as big as a piece of tofu.
Su Aimin was still so excited that he couldn't control himself. He carefully read out each lead word.
"Regarding the commendation of Su Qingyun, a student from Luoshui Village, Luoshui County, this province, as follows: Su Qingyun, sixteen years old, is from Luoshui Village, Luoshui County, this province, and is currently a sophomore in the town middle school. He invented an agricultural harvester during the autumn harvest, which greatly improved farmers' harvesting efficiency. We hereby commend him in the newspaper. Student Su Qingyun..."
Su Aimin didn't say much and read very slowly, fearing that he would miss a word. After he finished reading, his eyes lit up and he carefully put away the newspaper, folded it and put it in his bag.
After thinking about it, he stood up again and said, "No, I'll go buy a few more."
How could one portion be enough? There were so many people in the village, and we had to take a good look at them all.
Su Qingyun was unable to stop him and could only watch her father go and buy another large stack of newspapers.
Su Qingyun: “…” Is this a bit exaggerated?
She moved her lips, but swallowed the thought of the bonus. She decided not to provoke her father for now.
Soon, the departure time arrived and the father and daughter got on the bus smoothly. The return ticket was also a sleeper ticket purchased by the Ministry of Agriculture. There were fewer people on the bus this time, and there was no third person in the compartment between the father and daughter.
The train sped towards home, and nothing happened on the way back.
In Luoshui Village, Wu Guixiang once again stood at the entrance of the village, looking out. Still no sign of Su Aimin and his daughter, she looked away in disappointment, muttering doubtfully, "Didn't he say he'd be gone for two or three days? Why hasn't he returned yet?"
Qin Ying stood beside her, a little disappointed on her face. This was the first time Yunyun had been away from home for such a long time since she was a child. She wondered if she could get used to being outside.
"Grandma, I think you are just idle. It's not too much to come to see us eight hundred times a day. My uncle and the others should be back by now." Su Congwu squatted on the side with a dogtail grass in his mouth.
"I think you're the one with nothing to do!" Wu Guixiang glared at him. "How are you preparing to go to the city to take the worker's exam? Your elder brother and second brother have already found a job, and your sister has even been invited to the provincial government. Let me tell you, if you don't get a good job, you'll be embarrassed!"
"Grandma, don't worry, I know what's going on." Su Congwu said casually, "Okay, let's go back. It seems that my uncle and the others won't be able to arrive today."
Qin Ying: "Let's go."
On the way back, they met some villagers. One of them asked Wu Guixiang with a smile, "Auntie, Yunyun and her father haven't come back yet?"
In the past few days, Wu Guixiang has spread the news that Su Qingyun was invited to the provincial government, and the villagers also feel honored and are very concerned about the movements of the two.
"Not yet!" Wu Guixiang instantly put on a smug look, sweeping away the disappointment she had just felt. "This must mean the provincial government thinks too highly of us. We have to keep them for a few more days."
"That's incredible!" the villagers echoed her. "How come your child is so ambitious? He joined the army and went to work in the county, becoming a government employee. He studied literature and then became a soldier, and will be under the care of the state in the future. Not to mention Yunyun, he's really promising!"
Her eyes caught sight of Su Congwu standing behind Wu Guixiang, and after a pause, she continued, "Even Congwu, look at him, he's such a spirited young man!"
Su Congwu: “…” You’re at a loss for words when it comes to praising him, right?
After showing off for a while, the three of them returned home. Zhang Xinlan and Li Xiulian were busy in the kitchen. Zhang Xinlan kneaded the dough and said, "Why haven't the third brother and Yunyun come back yet?"
It's not just Wu Guixiang and Qin Ying. She's looking forward to seeing them every day. Don't get me wrong, it's not because she's worried about them. It's simply because she thinks the provincial government will definitely not be stingy and they must bring back some good things.
She had been thinking about those good things these days and almost woke up laughing in her dreams.
Zhang Xinlan put down the dough and rubbed her sore arms. "With Yunyun not at home, our family's food is worse than before."
If Su Qingyun were at home, her mother-in-law would definitely add some white flour to the dough, making it smoother and chewier.
Li Xiu Lian glanced at her, smiled and said nothing. She could see clearly what Zhang Xinlan was thinking.
Her second sister-in-law is really a short-sighted person. Yunyun was invited to the province, which is such a great thing, but she only cares about those little things. She is really hopeless!
