Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Killing Two Birds at Once
Hu Ping is a young man with a good temper. He is a celebrity in the county.
The Hu family is an old resident of the county town with many in-laws. Although most of the Hu family members are factory workers, there are also a few capable ones who have entered the government system.
The Hu family was a large and prosperous family that had developed over the years. After Secretary Gao was parachuted in, he had already thoroughly investigated the Hu family and was originally worried that the Hu family would use their family power to hinder the work.
However, after investigation, it was discovered that although the Hu family was large, they were still law-abiding and had no major loopholes. Moreover, the Hu family expressed great welcome to Secretary Gao's arrival.
Hu Ping's father even sent friendly signals directly to Secretary Gao, and tried his best to help Secretary Gao develop his work.
The two of them had more contact, and Secretary Gao had heard of Hu Ping from all walks of life.
Hu Ping is the youngest son of the Hu family and the youngest of this generation.
The youngest ones are always extra likable, and Hu Ping is the best among them.
Therefore, after graduating from junior high school, he did not go to the recommended technical secondary school, and Hu's father agreed.
After graduating from high school, he worked intermittently, and his father followed suit.
It's just that Hu Ping had skipped several blind dates some time ago, which made the Hu family lose face, so they made up their minds and forced Hu Ping to work at the construction site.
The construction site is exposed to the wind and sun, and it is not a good job. Hu Ping is also picky, so his father is waiting for Hu Ping to come home and surrender so that they can go on a blind date.
Unexpectedly, Hu Ping persisted.
A few days ago, when Hu's father was chatting with Secretary Gao, he sighed to Secretary Gao and said that his youngest son had finally grown up and knew how to do serious things.
Now it seems that the reason Hu Ping is willing to stay at the construction site is probably due to Han Lin's contribution.
At this time, Qian Ying was also lying on the bed, thinking about what happened today.
"The gifts we brought when we came to express our gratitude were a little meager. It would be better if they were a bit thicker." Qian Ying prepared the gifts herself. They included seasonal fruits, malted milk, and canned goods and candies bought from the department store.
There were quite a lot of things in total, and Qian Ying felt that what she had prepared was definitely presentable at the time, but after returning home, Qian Ying still couldn't help but think about it.
"Next Sunday when you have a day off, let's treat Yang Dai and her husband to dinner at the state-owned restaurant."
"Since we've become godparents, we should naturally move around more often." Qian Ying pushed Secretary Gao beside her, hoping that Secretary Gao would lower his posture.
"I will definitely get it done. Once the cooperation with the foreign businessmen is successful, they won't stay in our county for long. The next work will be much easier, and I can stay at home and take care of you." Secretary Gao softened his tone and soothed his wife's emotions.
When the sun rose, the people in Huangzhuang Brigade also got up one after another.
When Yang Dai woke up, she first smelled the fragrance of food.
"Get up and have breakfast. I'll take you home after breakfast." Han Lin stood at the door of the room refreshed. When he saw Yang Dai open her eyes, he couldn't wait to announce his arrangements.
"You can't be late for work." Yang Dai was in a relaxed mood. She just wanted to rest today and was a little lazy and didn't want to move.
"My working hours have changed recently. I can go to work an hour later in the morning. My father said he would lend me the bicycle at home." When Han Lin and his father went to work together in the past, they used to ride ox carts with people from several nearby teams. The time of going out was fixed, so it was inevitable that they would appear hurried in the morning.
At this moment, Han Lin seemed a little distracted at the dinner table. He was discussing what gifts they should bring when sending Yang Dai back to her parents' home today.
When Yang Dai went back to her parents' home, she always brought something with her and never came empty-handed.
Today, since both of them were visiting together, Han Lin thought the gift should be more valuable, so he sent the goodies that Qian Ying brought yesterday to the Yang family so that Yang's father and mother could have a taste.
When the two arrived at Yang's house, Yang's father was pushing his bicycle out, preparing to go to work at the commune.
Today is Wednesday, and Saturday will be his last day at work.
Father Yang has been trying hard to arrive early these days to put a perfect end to his retirement life.
But at this moment, seeing his daughter and son-in-law coming home early in the morning with lots of bags, he didn't even bother to go to work, but hurriedly and warmly entertained his daughter and son-in-law.
"Why are you bringing so many things here so early in the morning?"
"We have everything we need at home, keep it for yourself." Mother Yang beamed when she saw the food in their hands, but her tone was still complaining, "Malted milk is such an expensive thing, why don't you keep it for yourself!"
"You and Han Lin have worked very hard recently, so you should replenish your energy." Mother Yang took all the other things, but only took the malted milk and wanted to put it back on the bicycle that Han Lin rode over.
"Yang Dai and I work hard, because we want our family to have good food and drink!"
"Mom, this malted milk is not expensive. If you like it, we can buy it often in the future." Han Lin treated Yang's mother very warmly.
The mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more, and the son-in-law also catered to her and kept saying things that the mother-in-law liked to hear.
Mother Yang enthusiastically pulled Han Lin to sit down, and it seemed that she was eager to have a long talk with Han Lin.
Fortunately, Han Lin had to rush to work and could not fulfill Yang's mother's wish, so he quickly rode away on his bike.
Han Lin rode his bike to the village entrance of Huangzhuang Brigade. Hu Ping was waiting there. Seeing Han Lin, he waved to him warmly and went to work with Han Lin.
"Brother Han, I was waiting for you this morning. Let's go to work together and have a day off tomorrow. I'll invite you to my house for dinner." Hu Ping was still very warm, as if he had endless things to say when he saw Han Lin.
Han Lin shook his head. He already had plans for tomorrow.
Hu Ping still didn't give up. "Then after get off work, I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant."
"I'm very familiar with the chef at the state-owned restaurant. I'll ask him to prepare his signature dishes for you."
Han Lin was about to refuse, but after hearing this, he became interested, "How familiar are you?"
"That's my cousin!" Hu Ping said this with great momentum.
This is the confidence of having a large family, and you will have relatives and friends wherever you go.
"I'll treat you to lunch at the state-owned restaurant today." Han Lin made the decision quickly, which made Hu Ping scream with excitement. Han Lin silently increased the speed of his bike.
Han Lin went to work in the county town, while Yang Dai sat next to Yang's mother and told her in detail about her experience yesterday.
"You said that foreigner also praised you?" Yang's mother asked again, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
She really didn't expect that her daughter would have such a day.
First, he contributed articles to newspapers, then he painted propaganda posters in the village, and now he has started painting for foreigners.
"When did you learn all this? Why didn't I hear you mention this talent when we were in school? If we had known earlier, we would have trained you sooner."
Yang Dai's expression became a little embarrassed. "If I tell the truth, you can't scold me."
Mother Yang: "Tell me, from childhood to adulthood, the number of times I scolded you can be counted on one hand."
"I felt bored during class, so I studied from the textbook." This was Yang Dai's honest words. Although she didn't do this herself, she did have evidence.
Many junior high school textbooks still have marks of copying at that time, and the books are classified by grade, so you can see the improvement of painting skills bit by bit.
This is also the reason why Yang Dai dared to show her painting skills directly.
Although the original body was not good at studying, he graduated from high school after all. He was considered an intellectual in the Huangzhuang Brigade, so being able to write articles was not a big deal.
I can draw because I learned it in school, and I can find evidence, so I'm not afraid of people asking me about it.
"I thought, I should learn to speak like foreigners in the future, so that I can communicate with them directly."
At this moment, Yang's mother raised her hand to support all the decisions made by Yang Dai and agreed with them very much.
"I pickled some chicken and duck eggs. When you go to see Xia Zhiqing, take them with you. They'll be your tuition."
"I've also saved up some cotton and cloth. If Xia Zhiqing can make clothes, I'll make her some clothes."
"Also, after the autumn harvest, the weather will get cold. Ask your father-in-law to go to the educated youth sites. They are all old houses, and problems with door frames and roofs are common. Your father-in-law happens to be an expert in this area."
In Yang's mother's mind, everything must give way to Yang Dai's studies.
Since Yang Dai wants to learn to speak like a foreigner from Xia Ziqing, her family naturally has to build a good relationship with Xia Ziqing so that Xia Ziqing will have a better impression of Yang Dai and can teach Yang Dai more attentively.
Yang Dai knew her mother's kind heart, and couldn't help but hug her, burying her head in her shoulder, and didn't speak for a long time.
As the legitimate daughter of Duke Cheng, Yang Dai was naturally favored at home, but she didn't actually have much impression of her mother.
Yang Dai did not grow up with her mother. When she was young, she followed her grandmother and listened to her teachings.
Later, after being chosen to become the Crown Princess, she began to be personally taught by her grandfather.
Yang Dai knew that her mother naturally cared about her, but in Yang Dai's view, this care felt like a formality, and her mother did not share much love with her.
Yang Dai has always accepted this. After all, she did not grow up with her mother. Moreover, she is the only one in the Chengguo Mansion who is loved by her grandfather. She should not ask for more.
After traveling through time, Yang Dai truly felt the motherly kindness of her mother, and naturally became more and more affectionate towards her.
Yang's mother knew Yang Dai's arrangement and was going to apologize to Guan Changlin tomorrow, so she naturally talked about Guan Changlin at this time.
Yang Dai: "I used to be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Uncle's medical skills are obviously very good. The plaster he gave me last time was very effective."
"That plaster is an heirloom in our family. If you like it, I'll get you some more." Mother Yang had no shortage of plasters, so she got up to get some.
Yang Dai followed behind Yang's mother, acting as her little tail.
"I will go with you tomorrow. After we get there, even if your cousins are rude to you, you can't give up." Yang's mother reminded her again, worried that her daughter would regret it tomorrow.
"Don't worry, I'll do whatever you say when the time comes!" Yang Dai repeatedly assured that she would definitely establish a good relationship with Guan Changlin.
Although Guan Changlin spoke in a fierce tone last time, he still cared about Yang Dai.
Besides, visiting her uncle's family more often could help to restore her reputation to a certain extent.
Moreover, she has a close relationship with a doctor, so she won't be afraid of being exposed when she takes out medicinal herbs and powder from the space to trade.
For Yang Dai, this is simply killing two birds with one stone.
