.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the jeep arrived at the Ti County Guesthouse on time.
After the two female comrades left, Guan Shan had some official business to attend to and did not continue to accompany them.
They said goodbye in front of the state-owned hotel, and Xiao Jiahua agreed that as soon as they were done with the work, they would go to Ke City and make a special trip to visit Chief Li.
After returning to the guesthouse, Xiao Jiahua and Tong Qifang looked at each other and both laughed.
Along the way, these two outstanding women crossed the desert and the grassland, and their hair became coarse and their clothes became wrinkled, and they were truly exhausted.
Especially Xiao Jiahua, who turned herself into a down-and-out "Cinderella".
It's hard to imagine that Qi Keyan could still say that.
In the afternoon, they did not go out for a stroll, but stayed in the guesthouse, washed their hair, changed their clothes, and tidied themselves up.
At night, after a good sleep, my energy and vitality finally recovered.
The next morning, they rushed to their first destination, the Ti County Agricultural Reclamation Research Laboratory.
This agricultural reclamation research laboratory, which is affiliated to the research institute under the Corps, not only practices the cultivation of cottonwoods, but also studies grapes and Hami melons. It is the scientific research support for the local agricultural reclamation planting industry.
Xiao Jiahua and Tong Qifang took some effort to find the person in charge of the long-staple cotton experimental group, Team Leader Meng Jianshe.
When we found Team Leader Meng, he was surrounded by several young students, both male and female. All of them wore straw hats and had cotton ties hanging around their necks. They seemed to be planning to go to the cotton fields.
Xiao Jiahua and Tong Qifang were afraid of missing each other, so they hurriedly introduced themselves.
Tong Qifang: "Hello, Team Leader Meng, we are from Taifeng County, and we are from the National Cotton Mill and the Supply and Marketing Company. Director Liu from the Guangdong Textile Factory introduced us to you."
Meng Jianshe is from Shanghai and graduated from Shanghai University. He is an alumnus of Guangdong Textile Factory’s Liu Yalan.
When he heard that they were introduced by old classmates, he signaled the students to go to the fields first, and he stayed to receive the two female comrades.
After sitting down, Xiao Jiahua walked forward and explained further.
"Team Leader Meng, we came here this time to learn about the long-staple cotton in Ti County, and then cooperate with the locals to transport the long-staple cotton to Taifeng County and invest in the production of a batch of work cloth..."
Unexpectedly, Meng Jianshe frowned more and more as he listened, and even waved his hand to interrupt her.
"What? We're shipping long-staple cotton from the frontier to your Taifeng County?"
He said impatiently, "You little girl, you are about the same age as my students, and you have never suffered. How can you just brag! Do you know how far Ti County is from Taifeng County? There is no direct train. The transportation cost alone is twice as expensive as Mianqi in the North China Plain. How do you solve this problem?"
As soon as Meng Jianshe graduated, he was inspired by the motherland and rushed to the border with his classmates from the biology and chemistry departments. They were assigned to various counties and cities and settled there for ten years.
They have only one goal, which is to assist the scientists of the Corps Research Institute and work together to cultivate high-quality long-staple cotton so that the motherland can reduce or even get rid of its dependence on imported long-staple cotton.
Ten years have passed, and the research results are remarkable. However, in such a poor environment, the young man who was full of vigor and vitality in the past has been tempered into a middle-aged man with a bad temper.
Therefore, when faced with Xiao Jiahua, who was dressed exquisitely, had delicate hands and feet, looked extremely unreliable, and had wild ideas, he expressed deep doubt.
...and ruthless rejection.
"Two young wives, why don't you stay at home to take care of the children and serve your parents-in-law? Why are you making trouble here?
"Where are your leaders, or the men in charge? Let them come and talk to me!"
