Chapter 85 I am so lucky to marry such a virtuous sister-in-law
"Comrade Chen Xiang, you can't say that."
Su Heng felt that they were still young and could not just muddle through.
"If you want to learn, it's never too late. It depends on what kind of life you want to live in the future."
Both of them were puzzled after hearing this.
"What else could it be?" Finding a job in the village was something he had never dared to think about before.
Su Heng looked at the two of them and said, "You should ask yourselves, what kind of life do you want to live?"
"Should I stay in the kitchen as a cook for the rest of my life, or should I choose to do what I am interested in like me?"
Like Su Heng, the two had never thought about it.
The gap is so huge that I can't even feel envious.
But both of them were undoubtedly stumped by her question. It was interesting. Who hadn't fantasized about what they would do in the future when they were a child?
But poverty is a hurdle that kills many naive ideas.
"I don't know." Luo Yan's eyes were confused.
"I'm not asking you to figure it out right now, but now that you've taken the first step and are already making money, you should think about the future."
Su Heng just planted a seed for them.
If they have an idea, and the policy changes in the future, everything is possible, and they will naturally find the direction and work hard.
"Okay, let's think about it later. Now it's time to get back to work. I'm here to inspect your work."
Su Heng coughed lightly, put her hands behind her back and walked out for inspection with a serious face.
Only Chen Xiang and Luo Yan were left with disturbed minds, and they had to force themselves to put aside all distractions and get to work quickly.
She walked around the construction site before returning, and Pu Fengliang was looking for her.
"Xiao Su, come quickly and see how the questions I asked are with Xinghe."
Recruiting people naturally requires an exam. According to Su Heng's suggestion, the questions include simple agricultural knowledge, as well as some arithmetic and reasoning questions.
Of course, since we are only recruiting junior researchers, the questions will not be too difficult.
But doing research does require some quick-thinking people, so these questions are not very professional, but they test thinking and adaptability.
Zhang Xinghe has already read it once and thinks there is no problem.
Su Heng took the test paper and looked at it carefully, then shook his head:
"No, it has to be simpler. These math problems are beyond the syllabus. There aren't many high school students in the nearby commune."
Su Heng felt that the focus was on agricultural common sense and reasoning, after all, it was about actual farming and research.
If you were born in the countryside and don't even have this common sense, needless to say, you are definitely not suitable for this job.
Pu Fengliang thought about it and said: "You are right, then I will make some changes."
Professor Pu Da continued to work, and Su Heng and Zhang Xinghe suddenly became free.
I haven't attended classes recently, but I have already reviewed the previous knowledge and memorized it by heart.
Since he had nothing to do anyway, Su Heng thought about going into the mountains in the afternoon to dig some herbs to fill the herb garden in his yard.
By the way, check if the wild chestnuts and persimmons are ripe. Lu Mingchuan probably doesn’t have time recently.
The vegetation in the mountains is not as lush as it was two months ago. The lack of water has affected the mountains to some extent.
Fortunately, her Codonopsis pilosula field is in a good geographical location and was not affected much.
Su Heng would go to take care of the ginseng field from time to time, and his supernatural powers naturally reached the fourth level.
She walked along the Codonopsis pilosula field and soon saw a few wild persimmon trees in a valley.
The persimmons in this season are still green and would be very astringent if eaten directly, but when Su Heng was a child, she saw her grandmother make pickled persimmons, which were crispy, sweet and delicious.
She put down her backpack and picked half of it. She could wait until the rest turned red. Ripe soft persimmons were also delicious.
The chestnut trees were deeper in the forest, and the ground beneath them was covered with fallen, cracked, and hairy shells.
Su Heng broke one open and tasted it, and this one was edible too.
She grew a vine to pick the chestnuts on the tree. The chestnuts were covered with thorns and it was so sour and painful to be pricked by them when they fell.
Therefore, when people stand far away, they can see that the tree looks like it has tentacles, just like a Black Mountain demon.
While fighting, Su Heng saw a fluffy little broom fall from the tree.
The little broom almost fell on its butt, but she caught it with the vines, but it was still very angry and made a cooing sound at her.
"Little squirrel, you have a bad temper. You can't finish eating all the chestnuts from such a big tree."
As Su Heng spoke, she couldn't help but wrap the vine around it and stroke its fluffy tail hair.
The brown squirrel fell into the palm of the hand after being stroked, and protested with dissatisfaction.
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"
Su Heng stuffed it with a few chestnuts that she had broken out of their thorny shells, and its cries gradually became quieter.
"Okay, go have fun by yourself."
Many animals in the mountains have begun to store food for the winter.
Su Heng filled the remaining half of the basket and went home.
When Lu Mingchuan came back, he saw the ground covered with prickly shells.
"Are the chestnuts ready? Why don't you wait for me to go with you?" He said, putting down his things and going to peel the shells.
Su Heng was looking for a jar of persimmons in the kitchen. "Don't you have to practice driving recently?"
"You can take a day off this week. Master Ren can't come because of something. I'll go with you to pick the fruits then."
"That's fine too. Can you peel the shells? I'll make some fried chestnuts for dinner."
"Let me try." Lu Mingchuan picked up a big kitchen knife and made a mark on the chestnut shell.
The knife that was so uncontrollable when peeling in Su Heng's hand was surprisingly obedient in his hand, and he could peel a small chestnut with each cut.
Since there were no special stones, Su Heng went to the river in the afternoon to sift some river sand, which could be used after washing it.
The yard is filled with the sweet aroma of chestnuts at night.
Since they couldn’t finish it all, Su Heng made chestnut cakes.
The roasted chestnuts are particularly soft, sweet and delicious when peeled, and they taste great as fillings. They are just right for breakfast for two people the next morning.
Today Su Heng planned to go with him to ride the bike back. She saw Lu Mingchuan still holding an enamel jar with a few uneaten cakes in it.
I couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Aren't you full at the cafeteria at noon? Why did you bring this?"
Lu Mingchuan casually packed some and took it with him, saying, "Give some to Director Feng. There will be meat tomorrow."
The colleague who helped buy meat before was Director Feng.
"If you had told me earlier, I would have decorated him separately."
Su Heng held his forehead with his hand. Although these cakes were left on the plate and untouched, it still sounded unpleasant to say so.
"It's okay, he doesn't mind." Lu Mingchuan said as he pushed the car out and drove Su Heng out.
Director Feng really didn't mind. He ate one pancake at a time and kept praising its deliciousness.
Su Heng's cooking skills were of course impeccable. He ate a few of the sweet cakes with bitter tea to satisfy his craving, and then saved the rest for his son and his wife.
He also patted his chest and said that he would take care of tomorrow's meat.
Su Heng saw that he was also an interesting person. He did not forget his wife and children even after eating delicious food. He smiled and said:
"If Director Feng likes it, I'll ask Mingchuan to bring you some tomorrow."
"That's great! My wife loves sweets. Old Lu, you're so lucky to have such a virtuous sister-in-law."
Director Feng knew that Lu Mingchuan loved to hear this.
Sure enough, the couple were both beaming with joy at his praise.
