Chapter 108 There is something wrong with that person
Zhou Xian saw Yan Qiyuan in the crowd looking towards her and waving at her.
She nodded at Yan Qiyuan and looked away.
Guo Jinxing was standing next to Yan Qiyuan, watching their actions, and even bumped Yan Qiyuan's shoulder exaggeratedly, "Do you like her?"
Yan Qiyuan blushed and shook his head quickly, "No, no, no, it's not true."
"Okay, we are all gay men, how can we not understand what you are thinking? She is now the vice president Zhou, even if she is an acting president, she will be able to become a full-time employee soon. If you can take her down, your job in this commune will be secure."
Guo Jinxing also knew that Zhou Xian was an extraordinary person in Baihua Commune, so he did not dare to shout loudly, but chose to speak close to Yan Qiyuan's ear.
But Yan Qiyuan didn't respond to his words, "It's not like that. She saved me, and I don't have that kind of feeling towards her. Vice President Zhou is a good person."
Seeing his confused look, Guo Jinxing looked him up and down, then sneered, as if accepting his statement.
"Okay, okay, if you say no, then no."
"It would be great if I could just get her." Guo Jinxing said to himself.
Yan Qiyuan's face suddenly turned serious. "Guo Zhiqing, aren't you dating Comrade Zhou Xiaohua from the brigade? Don't do something like playing both sides. It's not good for anyone."
"What do you know, you nerd?" Guo Jinxing looked at Yan Qiyuan with disdain.
I have never seen any educated youth who went to the countryside bring books with them. They didn’t have many clothes, and most of them were books. How could they be admitted to university?
He would read whenever he had free time, and would mutter the contents of the text while working. Guo Jinxing was the closest to Yan Qiyuan among the four male educated youth who went to the countryside together. They slept next to each other on the big bunk bed.
Yan Qiyuan seemed to have no temper. He didn't get angry even when people called him a nerd, and he would just smile shyly no matter what you said.
"Comrade Guo, it is wrong for you to do this. Not only will it implicate yourself, but it will also have an impact on the two female comrades." Faced with Guo Jinxing's change of subject, Yan Qiyuan became serious.
"I know. I was just saying it casually. Do you understand?" Guo Jinxing was impatient to continue talking to Yan Qiyuan. Sometimes this nerd could be annoying and would take jokes seriously.
This is when things get serious.
I don’t know how Vice President Zhou saved him, but she doesn’t allow anyone to say anything bad about her.
Guo Jinxing didn't take it seriously. He pushed Yan Qiyuan away and squeezed to the notice board to check his ranking.
Guo Jinxing felt relieved when he saw that he was admitted.
It was a close call. I almost couldn’t get into the pickle factory.
Looking up, he saw Yan Qiyuan's name. Seeing Yan Qiyuan's name was ranked first, Guo Jinxing's gaze paused for a moment, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.
He squeezed out of the crowd and saw Yan Qiyuan still standing behind the crowd. He walked over and said, "Nerd, don't you want to check your grades?"
Yan Qiyuan shook his head, "No, I have confidence in myself, I will be admitted."
Guo Jinxing stared at him for a while, then suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder hard, causing Yan Qiyuan to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
"Congratulations! I checked for you and you are ranked first. You have been accepted."
Faced with this ranking, Yan Qiyuan just nodded calmly.
Seeing him like this, Guo Jinxing was very unhappy and couldn't help but say, "As expected of a nerd who likes to read books, it's no surprise that he got first place in the exam."
But Yan Qiyuan seemed not to hear his sarcasm, and thanked him sincerely, leaving Guo Jinxing speechless.
Those who knew they were accepted went to the office to register immediately and had to wait two days before entering the factory.
Zhou Xian contacted the textile factory again and bought scraps of cloth from them. Director Ji gathered the women who were good at needlework and asked them to make masks, gowns and other things for the new workers. These would be distributed to them when they entered the factory.
After looking at the notice board, those who saw that they were not admitted went back directly, while those who were admitted stayed. Secretary He held a brief meeting with them and talked about the work of the pickle factory.
By the way, I assigned some work tasks.
Several male comrades were selected to be responsible for carrying the pickle jars under the leadership of Zhou Shoumin, while the others learned how to make pickles.
Everyone has his or her own mission.
Originally, Guo Jinxing was going to move the jars of pickles, but he took the initiative to say that he was not in good health and had not been able to do heavy work since he was a child. The person in charge then transferred him to the production line.
Guo Jinxing looked at the officer with gratitude, "Comrade, thank you so much."
Being thanked so sincerely, the person doing the work will be very happy and it will encourage him to do a good job.
Guo Jinxing quickly agreed.
They were allowed to go back after the meeting. Tomorrow was a day off, so they could rest for another day. When Yan Qiyuan went to the brigade headquarters to ask the brigade leader for a letter of introduction, he met Guo Jinxing.
"Are you going to the county town too?" Guo Jinxing looked at Yan Qiyuan in surprise.
"My parents sent me some money and I have to go to the county post office to collect it." Yan Qiyuan said, pushing up his glasses.
Guo Jinxing responded but didn't care much. He would go back to the county town every time he had a holiday, saying that he was visiting his uncle. After all, his uncle lived alone, and he was still worried about him, so he would go back to see his uncle whenever he had time.
Zhou Jiefang was already used to it, so he wrote a letter of introduction to Guo Jinxing.
Guo Jinxing went into the city with Yan Qiyuan, but after arriving in the county town, the two separated. Yan Qiyuan went to the post office to collect the remittance, and Guo Jinxing went to his uncle's house.
But when he came back, Yan Qiyuan had a serious look on his face. He came back first.
Ever since the pickle factory of Baihua Commune became famous in the county, the frequency of buses has been increased, making it more convenient for everyone to travel to and from the county.
After Yan Qiyuan got off the bus at the commune, he unknowingly walked to the gate of the commune. He stood at the gate and kept looking inside, causing the gatekeeper to stare at him.
"Young man, what's the matter?" The old man finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to ask. ”
Yan Qiyuan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Seeing his serious face, the old man stopped talking. Judging from the young man's appearance, his matter was quite serious.
As an old man who works as a gatekeeper in the commune, he still has some basic manners. If something serious happens, he must be very troubled. So he didn't urge the young man, but just stood by and watched him.
The young man was quite patient. He stood there for a long time without moving. Finally, the old man couldn't help it and moved a small stool to him. "How about you sit down and think about it?"
Yan Qiyuan finally came back to his senses, shook his head at the old man, and said, "I'm looking for Vice President Zhou."
The old man looked cold for a moment and looked Yan Qiyuan up and down again.
He felt that he might have misunderstood, and this young man was not here to report things.
But after looking for a long time, the old man still couldn't figure out anything. He thought he was overthinking, so he pointed the way to Li Dong.
Zhou Xian’s current office has also moved to the vice president’s office, so it’s easy to find.
In the past, Yan Qiyuan also met Zhou Jianguo.
"Yan Zhiqing, why are you here?" Zhou Jian looked at Yan Qiyuan in surprise.
This educated youth Yan was not a talkative person and his presence in the brigade was not very strong on weekdays. If he had not ranked first in the exam this time, he would have been easily ignored.
Hearing that he was looking for Zhou Xian, Zhou Jianguo also helped to point the way.
Yan Qiyuan walked in the direction he pointed. When he was almost at Zhou Xian's office, he stopped and prepared himself mentally for a while before raising his hand to knock on the door.
"Come in."
Hearing the sound in the room, Yan Qiyuan pushed the door and walked in.
Zhou Xian looked up at the person who came. She never expected that Yan Qiyuan would come to see her.
"Yan Zhiqing, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Yan Qiyuan nodded, and after entering the room, he walked to the opposite side of Zhou Xian and said, "There is something that should be very important. I want to tell you something."
Seeing that he looked very serious, Zhou Xian stood up, poured him a cup of hot water, and handed it to him, "Sit down and talk."
Yan Qiyuan took the cup, held it in his hand, and sat down.
But he didn't speak right away, and Zhou Xian didn't urge him, waiting for him to speak first.
After a long while, Yan Qiyuan finally said, "Do you know Guo Jinxing?"
"I know him." Zhou Xian nodded.
"Then do you know that he went to the county town today?"
"I know. Guo Zhiqing goes to the county town every week, saying he is going back to visit his uncle. Yan Zhiqing, do you have anything to say? About Guo Zhiqing?"
"It's about Guo Zhiqing. I went to the county town today because of something. When I got there, we opened it. After I came out of the post office, I went to the department store. When I came out, I saw Guo Jinxing at a corner."
Yan Qiyuan looked up at Zhou Xian, "I wanted to say hello to him, but he had his back to me and was typing Morse code on the wall."
Zhou Xian's expression suddenly became serious.
Seeing this, Yan Qiyuan explained, "I learned the Morse code from my grandmother, who was an underground worker."
"Then what? Why do you feel that something is wrong with Guo Jinxing?" Zhou Xian did not ask about his grandmother.
Yan Qiyuan's glasses were fogged up by the teacup in his hand, and Zhou Xian couldn't see his gaze clearly.
"His Morse code means that he has successfully infiltrated. The other party replied, stay hidden and don't reveal your identity. He has just been admitted to the pickle factory. I suspect his target is the pickle factory of the commune."
"You suspect he's a spy?"
"It's not impossible. My grandmother told me that when those people retreated, they left behind a lot of spies who were always trying to sabotage our country."
Zhou Xian just suspected that Guo Jinxing had been bribed, so he wanted to give him the recipe of planting technology. Now it seems that the idea of being bribed is really narrow-minded. Yan Qiyuan even directly suspected that he was a spy.
If that was the case, they would have to be on guard.
"Yan Zhiqing, thank you for telling me this. We will make arrangements on our side." Zhou Xian stood up and extended his hand to Yan Qiyuan.
Yan Qiyuan also quickly stood up, put down the cup in his hand, and shook Zhou Xian's hand.
