Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Going Home
"Why are you so optimistic about me?" Yang Dai simply said it directly. After all, she had always been curious about Xia Ziqing's purpose in approaching her.
From the first meeting, when the two were strangers, Xia Ziqing simply showed his kindness to Yang Dai, believing that Yang Dai could succeed in whatever she did. It seemed that Xia Ziqing's kindness and trust were nonsensical from the very beginning.
At that time, Yang Dai had a bad reputation in Huangzhuang Brigade and failed in her competition for the brigade's primary school teacher position.
No matter from which perspective, he doesn't seem to be a trustworthy person.
Xia Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "You know, everyone has their own aura. If I had to put it bluntly, I think you and I hit it off right away. Trusting you is my instinct, and everything you do constantly proves to me that my intuition and trust were not wrong."
Xia Ziqing said this without any hesitation and with great sincerity, which surprised Yang Dai a little.
Xia Ziqing's sincerity was beyond her expectations.
"Thank you." Yang Dai didn't say anything else, but just sincerely thanked Xia Ziqing.
She felt that there was no need to delve into why Xia Ziqing appeared by her side in the first place.
She and Xia Ziqing are friends now, and they interact with each other frequently. It is not worth delving into how they first met.
Besides, Yang Dai also reviewed what happened after she met Xia Ziqing, and it seemed that everything she did was indeed going much more smoothly.
When she first drew propaganda posters for the brigade, Xia Ziqing was the first to remind her to wear a mask to protect her body.
Later, I went to the food factory and
Xia Ziqing was quick-witted when it came to discussing business with foreigners, otherwise Yang Dai's cooperation with the food factory would most likely have been a one-time thing, and she would not have directly become a temporary worker at the food factory.
Thinking of this, Yang Dai decided to go to the department store again and pack up all the snacks sold in the Capital Department Store. She would then send them to the food factory as a token of her appreciation to the food factory.
Yang Dai was the only one on the return train.
Liao Tiandong and Zhang Yong have almost completed their tasks in the county and will not go there again. Xia Ziqing has finally come to the capital and is also shouldering other tasks, so he will not be back for a few days.
Yang Dai got on the bus with her ticket and pinched the whip hidden around her waist, feeling very happy.
The train was still bustling with people from all over the world, sitting together and chatting.
Yang Dai didn't say much, just chose to listen quietly.
This time, the two people sitting next to her were two workers, peasants and soldiers who were university students. They were studying physics but had not yet graduated. They were arguing about whether they could enter the research institute after graduation.
One of them spoke enthusiastically: "We are elected by the people, we are university-educated talents with relevant majors. Why can't we join the research institute? The research institute also needs fresh blood. We can't always rely on the old ones."
The other one wasn't so confident. "I heard the institute doesn't welcome us. The veterans there even applied for admission. To get in, you have to take an assessment in your first year. If you don't pass, you could be fired at any time, no matter where you graduated from."
The Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University has been in operation for several years, and the first batch of graduates have entered the social work.
The identity of a college student sounds very glamorous and can be easily obtained in most units, but it does not work very well in research institutes.
He once asked his former seniors and learned that once he entered the research institute, he could only do odd jobs, and sometimes even high school students could outdo him. He could not resist because he might be fired by the institute.
"If the institute continues to do this, I will report it to higher authorities. We are educated, serious university students. The institute has no right to treat us this way."
Because they were on the train, the argument between the two was not loud, but Yang Dai was very close and could hear it clearly.
During her time in the capital, she also visited several well-known universities. The atmosphere there was a bit strange, even fragmented.
They are obviously all students, but you can tell at a glance that some of them are here to study. However, there are some others who are obviously students, but their aura is even greater than that of the teachers.
Yang Dai also saw two university teachers who, after silently teaching their students, had to pick up a broom to clean the toilet.
This phenomenon puzzled Yang Dai, but she had no right to say anything.
I just suddenly felt that the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University was nothing special.
If the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University continues to operate like this, will it really be good for the country's development?
Such doubts flashed through Yang Dai's mind.
Then she thought of Xia Ziqing again, and of the English she had been learning recently. She lowered her eyes and pondered, blocking out the dispute between the two students.
It was dusk when Yang Dai got off the train.
Han Lin accompanied Yang Dai to buy the train ticket. Yang Dai originally thought that the person who came to the train station to pick her up was only Yang Dai.
After getting off the train, I found that Han Lin was followed by several people.
Yang's father and mother, Han's father and mother, her sister-in-law from her mother's side and her sister-in-law from her husband's side all came. Even Wang Lixia, her second sister-in-law from her mother's side who had always been at odds with Yang Dai, came. They stood there in a grand group and were very conspicuous.
There are many people in my family and not enough bicycles.
Yang Dai's second brother Yang Chengjun drove the team's tractor and parked it not far from the train station.
"You're finally back. You must be tired from the car ride. Let's go home quickly and have a good rest." Han's mother laughed first and wanted to take the things in Yang Dai's hand, but Yang Dai dodged her.
She brought back a lot of luggage, including her own belongings and many local specialties, which she planned to share with everyone after returning home.
After all, Han's mother is an elder and is old. Yang Dai does not intend to give these things to Han's mother and increase her pressure.
Fortunately, the sisters-in-law, Han Lin and Yang Chengjun were all quick and nimble. Although Yang Dai had a lot of luggage, it was not a problem. Each of them took a little and they quickly got on the tractor.
"Everyone, sit down. The tractor is about to start." Yang Chengjun was sitting in the driver's seat of the tractor. When he said this, he had a very high-spirited feeling. Yang Dai couldn't help but squint her eyes.
Han Lin wanted to sit side by side with Yang Dai. After all, they were husband and wife and hadn't seen each other for a few days, so of course they had a lot of private things to talk about.
But Han's mother obviously disagreed. After all, Han Lin had just returned from the capital, while others hadn't seen Yang Dai for a long time.
So according to the position of Han's mother, Han Lin was pushed to the very edge, and the people next to Yang Dai were Yang Dai's biological mother and sister-in-law.
After all, no matter how close the husband's family is, the mother's family is definitely better.
Yang Dai went to the capital, and the Han family also made a big splash in the Huangzhuang Brigade. Now Han's mother was even more willing to give face to Yang Dai.
Therefore, next to Yang Dai, there sat her biological mother on one side and her sister-in-law on the other.
According to the closeness of their relationship, the other person must be the eldest sister-in-law Huang Xiuxiu.
After all, no matter how bad Yang Dai's relationship with her elder brother and sister-in-law was before, they still had some face, and at least they could live in peace in front of outsiders.
But unlike the second sister-in-law Wang Lixia, these two have been quarreling since they were young. They quarrel at any time and don’t care about the so-called face or feelings at all.
But unexpectedly, when they sat down on the tractor, Wang Lixia suddenly took the lead and sat next to Yang Dai.
This action not only surprised Yang Dai, but even Yang's mother couldn't help but look up at Wang Lixia, feeling that Wang Lixia had changed his personality.
Wang Lixia knew that her action was abrupt, but the position next to Yang Dai could be said to be a very popular position nowadays. Since she had grabbed it, there was no way she could give it up.
"My little sister has been in the capital for a while, and she looks different now. She looks like a lesbian from a big city." Wang Lixia smiled and patted Yang Dai's arm affectionately.
But when she said that, she found that everyone in the tractor was looking at her.
This was also a compliment, but because their relationship was not good before, the words seemed to have changed in meaning when she said it.
It doesn't sound like a compliment, but rather like sarcasm.
Wang Lixia couldn't help feeling embarrassed, but she still had to say what she had to say.
"When I was younger, I always thought I should compete with you. Now I think it's quite ridiculous."
"We are a family now, and your sister-in-law would like to apologize to you here." Wang Lixia clenched her palms uncomfortably, her eyes fixed on Yang Dai.
Yang Dai did not respond immediately. Wang Lixia's palms were wet and sweat appeared on his forehead.
Yang's mother was watching from the side and couldn't help but stretch out her arm and silently poked Yang Dai.
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. I was young and ignorant before, so let's not think about it. If I have to apologize, I should apologize to you." Yang Dai smiled and took over the conversation.
Wang Lixia instantly breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he was alive again.
She glanced at her husband who was sitting in the front concentrating on driving the tractor, and became more affectionate towards Yang Dai.
Wang Lixia and Yang Chengjun grew up together, and their life after marriage is very sweet, of course, as long as they don't mention Yang Dai.
But since Yang Chengjun, the tractor driver, became better and better at his job, Wang Lixia's mentality has gradually changed.
Yang Chengjun told her that he was able to become a tractor driver thanks to Han Lin.
At first, Wang Lixia was not very happy when she heard Yang Chengjun say this, and her attitude towards Yang Dai naturally did not change.
But I can't stand the comparison with my sister-in-law Huang Xiuxiu.
After the temporary worker that the Yang family had arranged for was finally hired by Yang Chengguo, the eldest son of the Yang family, the eldest sister-in-law Huang Xiuxiu stayed by Yang's mother's side all day, praising Yang Dai to the hilt.
Among the three children, Yang's mother naturally favors Yang Dai from the bottom of her heart. Listening to her eldest daughter-in-law praising her daughter, even though she knows that it may not be so sincere, she still treats Huang Xiuxiu better and better.
As a sister-in-law, Wang Lixia certainly doesn't want her elder sister-in-law to take all the credit for the family.
In addition, Yang Dai not only became a temporary worker in the county food factory, but was also invited to work in the capital.
Others may never have such luck in their entire lives.
Suddenly, Wang Lixia's desire to compete with Yang Dai disappeared. When her husband Yang Chengjun talked about her sister Yang Dai again, Wang Lixia could chat with her in a normal tone.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yang Dai may be the most promising one in the Yang family. If you don't take advantage of this time to build a good relationship with her, you may have no chance in the future.
Wang Lixia took the initiative to tell her husband that she wanted to apologize to Yang Dai. For this matter, Wang Lixia even went back to her parents' home.
Wang Lixia’s family also agreed with her approach. After all, Yang Dai and Han Lin are really different now!
Didn’t you see that when Captain Lian talked to the two of them, he was very friendly!
Wang Lixia made up her mind, and when she told her husband, she thought Yang Chengjun would applaud her decision.
After all, Yang Chengjun was caught between his sister and his wife, and he was really in a dilemma in the past two years.
Unexpectedly, Yang Chengjun said something different: "You don't have to put yourself in a difficult position for me."
Wang Lixia was about to cry at this sentence, but it was precisely because of this that Wang Lixia felt that she should apologize. She did not marry the wrong person, and she also had to consider Yang Chengjun.
Yang Dai was completely unaware of Wang Lixia's various psychological activities.
But since Wang Lixia was willing to take the initiative to sell out, Yang Dai would naturally treat him well. After all, there was no irreconcilable deep hatred between the two.
In order to show that she really didn't mind Wang Lixia anymore, Yang Dai specially increased the weight of Wang Lixia's gift.
