Chapter 141 Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land (1)
The next day, Taotao was woken up by Song Zhi.
The battle last night was so intense that she was a little dazed the whole time.
Song Zhi laughed and took a towel soaked in warm water to wipe her face, and she slowly came to her senses.
Taotao finally got up, tidied herself up, had breakfast with Xiao Feibai, and then followed Song Zhi to find Professor Dong to say goodbye to him. Then Song Zhi loaded the mountain of luggage onto the jeep and took Taotao and Xiao Feibai to Lingxi Oasis.
Of course, since it was Song Zhi’s first time there, Professor Dong asked Ma Zicheng to follow the car and act as a guide.
The satellite base is about 50 kilometers away from Lingxi Oasis. The road conditions are not very good and it takes about an hour and a half to drive there.
Ma Zicheng is a very talkative person and he kept talking all the way.
"The winds and sands are too strong in the northwest. You have to find your way, and you can't rely on the topography. The winds may blow for several days, and the small sand dunes may be blown down... So in the wild, getting lost is a matter of minutes, and it's very dangerous! Sister-in-law, you must remember what I said - no matter when or where, you must never go out alone!"
Tao Tao responded crisply, and then asked, "Then how do you find your way outside?"
Ma Zicheng said: "There are only a few traditional ways to find your way. One is to look at the direction of the mountains in the distance to locate yourself. After looking for a long time and getting familiar with it, you will roughly know where you are. Even if the location is a little off, it is only three to five kilometers, so it is easy to adjust."
"One is to wait until night time and look at the stars, relying on the Big Dipper to locate the direction. But this is more dangerous, because at night the temperature drops drastically, and there are wild beasts appearing at night!"
Tao Tao asked again, "So how do you find your way now?"
Ma Zicheng replied: "A compass!"
Tao Tao immediately said, "Song Zhi, I also want a compass in case of emergency."
Song Zhi, "I'll bring it to you next time."
Taotao was relieved and started chatting with Ma Zicheng again.
Ma Zicheng is not a professional technician. He was a veteran who had been to the battlefield. After being injured, he obeyed the assignment and came to the satellite city. He has been working here for six years and is familiar with the local terrain, customs, and local habits. Also, because he was one of the few idle staff members in the base, he was often asked by Professor Dong and others to help. In his own words, he knows a little bit about both professional and non-professional issues.
Ma Zicheng still had a strong desire to talk to Tao Tao and Song Zhi, the new couple, and said, "Professor Dong and his team have already planned to develop a positioning satellite. I believe that in the near future, we will have accurate positioning when we travel and will no longer have to rely on a compass."
However, it seems that Ma Zicheng is very nervous about something.
——He repeatedly told Taotao not to be alone and not to go out alone. Do not leave the production team once it gets dark, and never leave the safe area designated by the production team.
Taotao asked why.
Ma Zicheng said, "There are horse bandits! These people are remnants of the old dynasty. They don't farm or anything. They usually hide. When they are hungry or thirsty, they come out in groups to rob and kill without blinking an eye... Although we haven't heard of any horse bandits around here, we heard that they have been to Hulin Town, 200 kilometers away!"
Tao Tao asked: "Is there no one in charge?"
Ma Zicheng replied, "Yes! When I first came here, bandits were quite rampant, and I always heard about incidents happening here and there. In recent years, such incidents have become less and less frequent. It should be that eight or nine out of ten incidents have been eliminated by the border garrison. However, you still have to be careful. I'm afraid you will get used to living in a big city and think that going out here is the same as going out in the capital... If nothing happens, it's fine, but this is just in case!"
Song Zhi frowned.
Tao Tao said seriously: "Okay! I promise I will never go out alone."
Ma Zicheng also saw Song Zhi's expression and comforted him, "It's okay. Lingxi is close to us. We have a corps stationed here, and Lingxi is also within their protection range... Besides, our satellite station and the corps go to Lingxi to get water every day, which means they will go to Lingxi for inspection at least once a day. As long as my sister-in-law doesn't do anything wrong and doesn't run away alone... there won't be any big problems!"
The three of them were chatting, and of course Ma Zicheng was the one doing most of the talking. While he was telling Taotao and his wife about some local customs, he was also teaching Song Zhi how to recognize the road by looking at the signs...
About an hour later, Tao Tao saw a faint green in the distance amidst the vast yellow sand. She opened her eyes wide in surprise and pointed at it and asked, "Brother Ma, is that it?"
Ma Zicheng laughed and said, "Yes! It's right there!"
At this moment, yellow sand suddenly rose up in the distance ahead.
Ma Zicheng only took a glance and said to Song Zhi, "Song Zhi, slow down a bit. There should be a water transport convoy of the army ahead. You two are strangers. Stop the car later. They will question you... I will introduce you to them."
Sure enough, Song Zhi slowed down the car and drove forward for a while, then armed soldiers stopped the car. Behind those soldiers was a convoy of seven or eight military vehicles.
Ma Zicheng greeted the soldiers in a familiar manner.
The soldier asked him, "Why aren't you driving today? Who are those two... Hey, why is there a child?"
Ma Zicheng gave a brief introduction.
The soldier asked Song Zhi and Tao Tao to take out their letters of introduction and then asked them their names carefully. Then he also sternly warned them not to leave the group at ordinary times, and to report to the legion immediately when encountering abnormal situations, etc...
Next, Song Zhi started the car and, under the guidance of Ma Zicheng, continued to drive towards the oasis.
After walking for about half an hour, the oasis became clearer and clearer.
After a while, under the command of Ma Zicheng, Song Zhi drove the car into the oasis.
Taotao took Xiao Feibai out of the car.
The arrival of a jeep has caused a sensation in the oasis.
Soon, Professor Fu and Deng Gaoyun, wearing blue coats, rain boots and glasses, hurried over.
Tao Tao was very happy and rushed over with Song Zhi, "Hello, teacher! Hello, Senior Brother Deng!", "Hello, Professor Fu! Hello, Senior Brother!"
"Taotao, Xiaosong, you have worked hard along the way!"
"Junior Sister, did you really bring the child with you?"
When fellow students meet, there is always a lot to talk about.
but--
Ma Zicheng interrupted them, "Sister-in-law, don't rush to chat. Where are you staying? Let Song Zhi and I unload your luggage and take a look at the environment where you live."
Professor Fu slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me! Come on, Taotao... follow me!"
As he spoke, Professor Fu teased Xiao Feibai while taking Taotao to the workstation.
Song Zhi, Ma Zicheng and Deng Gaoyun went to move the luggage.
Taotao's laboratory is very conspicuous, about one hundred meters away from the water source in the center of the oasis. At present, the greenhouse has been equipped with stone piles and wooden frames, and covered with plastic film.
The workstation consists of five wooden-plank rooms in the shape of a Chinese character “干” (a Chinese character for Chinese character for dryness):
——The outermost room is a large office. Of course, the office area is not very large. Most of it is used as a warehouse to stack rolls of film.
——Walking further in, there are two rooms facing each other. One of them is for Taotao to live in, which is about twelve square meters. The other room is of similar size and is currently empty and used as a backup.
——Going further in, there are two rooms facing each other, one of which is the precision instrument warehouse. There was a large table inside, and against the corner were piles of fertilizers, various chemical reagents and instruments. Another room is a warehouse for daily necessities, where things like rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are stored.
Go through the corridor and enter the greenhouse.
Of course, there are other doors for entering and exiting the greenhouse. Piles of saplings are gathered aside and the production team members are working inside.
Taotao looked at the saplings...
Professor Fu smiled and said, "Don't worry, these are all what you want! Don't worry, it's October now, I will stay until the end of November and I will stay with you until you get used to it here."
"Thank you, teacher!" Taotao said sincerely.
Then Professor Fu told her one more thing, "...Yuxi told me that she doesn't want to go back this year. So after she finishes working on the two experimental fields over there, she wants to come over and keep you company. Of course, it's also for the allowance. I'll ask for your opinion first. If you have other ideas, tell me and I'll take care of it."
Tao Tao thought for a moment and said, "This is my first year here celebrating the New Year, and I'm feeling unsure. If Senior Sister Shi is willing to come and accompany me, that would be the best."
Professor Fu nodded with a smile and said in a low voice: "I guess the reason why she doesn't want to go back is probably related to Zuo Tianhua and his family. I heard that they have been urging Yuxi to transfer Zuo Tianhua back... I guess Yuxi also wants to hide."
Taotao also remembered something and quickly told Professor Fu -
"Since the teachers and seniors came to the front line, Senior Sister An over there has not paid much attention to the laboratory. I am the one who records the data, conducts all the practical operations, and keeps all the logs... That's fine, but when I came here, I told her in the morning that she should come to hand over to me, but she refused to show up. I really had no choice, so I went to find Dean Qin and temporarily reported to Senior Sister Wang from the next group to hand over to me, and promised her a monthly allowance of five yuan... Teacher, you have to recognize this!"
Hearing this, Professor Fu was speechless for a long time.
At this time, Deng Gaoyun had helped Song Zhi move Taotao's luggage, and came to find the teacher and Taotao. When he heard the second half of the conversation, he frowned and asked, "What allowance?"
——Although he didn't want to be petty or stingy, it was also a fact that agricultural research was notoriously poor. He really cares about the allowance! I also care about the news Taotao brings...Who is going to take up the allowance again?
Taotao said it again.
Deng Gaoyun's face suddenly fell, "Didn't An Qiuli follow up on my project?"
Taotao kept shaking her head.
Deng Gaoyun complained to Professor Fu in a low voice, "Just spoil her. There will be another Zuo Tianhua in the future!"
Professor Fu frowned, "The main thing is... Oh, forget it, I'll talk to my leader about this when I get back!"
Taotao followed Professor Fu because she vaguely heard that An Qiuli was a relative of Professor Fu.
She doesn't care how Professor Fu deals with An Qiuli.
but--
Tao Tao said to Professor Fu and Deng Gaoyun, "Teacher, Senior Brother, I was afraid that you two would be anxious, so I copied the data I made and brought it to you. I will show it to you later."
Fu and Deng were very happy to hear this. "What? You even copied a copy? That must have taken a lot of effort!" "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Sister! Thank you very much!"
——Now all communication is done through letters. Scientific research requires a lot of data. Usually, Professor Fu and Deng Gaoyun have to wait until they return to Beijing to see the data and then analyze it...
But now, Taotao actually copied the data and brought it here?
In other words, now they can aggregate the data for research! How could they not be overjoyed?
Taotao just smiled slightly.
Of course, she would not tell her teacher and seniors. She did this to prepare for a rainy day - when An Qiuli came back and found that Professor Fu's project was intercepted by Senior Sister Wang, she would definitely hate Taotao for interfering.
Taotao thought about it and felt that An Qiuli might have tampered with the data she had recorded. As long as An Qiuli changed the data in three or five places, it would cause great trouble to the subsequent work. And because all the data was recorded by Taotao, and Taotao also registered at that time...
Taotao is not in the Kyoto laboratory now, and Senior Sister Wang has other tasks and cannot stay in the laboratory all the time. An Qiuli changed the data when no one was around, and no one would know about it.
It was for this reason that Taotao copied the data overnight.
She simply pretended not to understand and said, "I also wanted the teacher and senior brothers to see it as soon as possible... Oh, my hands are broken from copying! But teacher, I have a suggestion. From now on, all our diaries should be pressed on carbon paper, in duplicate. One copy should be kept in the base camp as a record, and the other can be carried around..."
Professor Fu nodded and said, "Your suggestion is very good. Let's do it this way from now on!"
At that moment, Taotao went to get the manuscript and handed it to the teacher and senior.
The two of them immediately picked up the information and read it carefully, not caring about anything else.
Taotao smiled and took Xiao Feibai to the dormitory area.
Song Zhizheng and Ma Zicheng were banging around in the room with their bare chests, and a pile of luggage was scattered all over the floor.
Taotao looked at the way they were acting and it seemed like they were repairing the door?
Song Zhi instructed Tao Tao, "Go ask the teacher what your meals are like. Do you eat with the production team or cook for yourself? If you cook for yourself, you have to cook for me and Brother Ma."
Ma Zicheng also said: "Sister-in-law, your house is not in good condition... Just now, your husband Song Zhi told me that he has to ask for leave from work in the next few days. He will help you repair the house to make it more stable. I will go back in the afternoon!"
Taotao quickly thanked Ma Zicheng and went to find Professor Fu.
Professor Fu said, "...the production teams here don't eat from the same pot, so you cook your own food! I have already arranged six months of supplies for you at one time, including firewood, rice, oil and salt!"
"If you need anything, go to the army corps first and ask them to send a telegram for you. It's free to send telegrams from them... Also, we have special approval from them. Apart from professional things they don't have and can't give you, you can ask them for things they need for daily life."
Taotao nodded, "Teacher, I'll go cook first."
Then she told him that Song Zhi wanted to stay and help her renovate the house.
Professor Fu was a little surprised, "Why is this newly built house in trouble?" and ran over to ask Song Zhi.
Song Zhi took Professor Fu around the house, pointing and talking as they walked.
"Look, if someone is determined to commit a crime, they can climb up from here... and here, look, this wall is so thin, I can punch it through! Not only is it unsafe, but if a strong wind blows... this place will collapse! And here... and there... Teacher, Taotao is young and has a child with her. As long as there is a criminal around, she will be in danger."
Professor Fu nodded, "You are very thoughtful!"
Song Zhi said, "So I have to stay and help Taotao build a high wall. Tomorrow, Brother Ma will help me get two dogs... I may have to trouble you to take Taotao to meet the local production team. If we establish a good relationship as soon as possible, she will be safe and her work can get on track as soon as possible."
Professor Fu nodded repeatedly.
Taotao took Xiao Feibai to the kitchen.
The kitchen was located in a small corner between the office and the dormitory. Opposite it was a toilet and bathroom with a new toilet and two tin buckets.
Fortunately, the kitchen and bathroom both have doors, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
Taotao glanced at the kitchen.
There was a cement stove that burned wood, with all the pots, pans, and utensils provided, and next to it was a large water tank that was already filled with water.
It seems that everything is quite complete.
Taotao ran to the small warehouse where daily necessities were stored and took a look. She ran there several times and moved some firewood, rice, soybean oil, dried mushrooms, potatoes, eggs and other things over.
In the past few years, her life has been getting better and better. She hasn't used a wood-burning stove for several years. Just using a match to light a branch of oil wood to start a fire gives her a distant yet vague sense of familiarity.
Of course, I was a little hectic after that, but I managed to cook the meal.
Among the daily necessities that Professor Fu prepared for her, there was actually a piece of bacon weighing three or four pounds!
So Taotao only made a dish of stir-fried mushrooms with bacon and a dish of potato vermicelli soup. In addition, when cooking the rice, she deliberately left a large bowl of rice soup for her son as a snack. When the rice was about 70% cooked, she cracked an egg into a bowl, added salt and a little water, stirred it well, and placed the bowl on the rice. Wait until the rice is cooked and the custard is steamed.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Taotao called on everyone to eat first.
Although there was only one meal, one dish and one soup, everyone was still impressed!
Especially Ma Zicheng.
"Sister-in-law, you are from the south, right?" Ma Zicheng scooped up a large bowl of potato soup without saying anything, gulped it down, and said, "Only people in the south like to make soup so much!"
Deng Gaoyun agreed, "Indeed, the weather here is dry, and it's not easy to have some soup."
Professor Fu also smiled and said, "After drinking this bowl of soup, I feel much more nourished! Taotao, you still know how to live!"
While helping Xiao Feibai drink the moist rice soup, Tao Tao said to Professor Fu, "Teacher, there are so few people here. Did they go to work?"
Professor Fu explained while eating, "They have a tree planting mission, so they left early in the morning. When they come back in the afternoon, I will introduce you to the production team leader... Don't worry, all the men in their team are obliged to help you, because at the end of the year, we will subsidize each of them with 10 kilograms of rice according to the number of men."
"It's because you haven't come yet, so they are doing other things first... After you come, they will do it according to your ideas... Our greenhouse is not very big, and considering their physical strength, it will probably take one day... two days at most to finish the work. So for the later maintenance, you don't have to be polite to the production team leader, just raise any request directly, and they will help you even if it's just for the sake of those ten kilograms of rice." Professor Fu explained.
Taotao nodded.
After everyone finished their meal, Ma Zicheng said goodbye and drove away.
Song Zhi continued to repair the house, while Tao Tao discussed experimental data with Professor Fu and Deng Gaoyun...
Xiao Feibai ran to the greenhouse to play.
At this time, there were several women helping in the greenhouse, and they also brought with them several children ranging in age from one to two years old to four to five years old.
Xiao Feibai was a little reserved at first, but then slowly, he became familiar with the three or four-year-old children and started playing together.
Taotao had been talking to Professor Fu and Deng Gaoyun, and only looked up at her son from time to time. Seeing him having fun with other children, she smiled slightly, thinking that children's ability to adapt is better than adults.
However, one day, a middle-aged woman who was working kept staring at Taotao.
Her gaze was intense and direct, without any disguise.
Taotao was made uneasy several times by her scorching gaze.
Finally, Taotao couldn't help it anymore and looked up at the middle-aged woman with dark skin.
result--
Why does that woman look more and more familiar? ? ?
And the woman saw Taotao looking at her with a look of surprise and confusion?
She stood up at once, became excited, and shouted: "... Taotao? Bai Taotao!"
Taotao opened her eyes wide.
What? Is he really an acquaintance? ? ?
Taotao stopped the discussion, and Professor Fu and Deng Gaoyun looked in surprise at the middle-aged peasant woman who called out Taotao's full name.
The middle-aged peasant woman excitedly ran towards Taotao, "Taotao! Is it really you?!"
In fact, Taotao no longer recognizes this person.
But this familiar face, voice, tone of voice, walking posture...
Taotao still called out this person's name naturally, "...Zhou Chunni?!"
Zhou Chunni was extremely excited, "Yes! I, I am Zhou Chunni! Bai Taotao, why are you here?"
Taotao was very surprised.
By the way, the first time she heard about "Great Northwest" was from Zhou Chunni's husband Jiang Hongzhi.
At that time, Yan Naqian and Jiang Hongzhi were not on good terms, and she wanted to set up a plan for Jiang Hongzhi to have a tryst with Bai Lili, but Taotao was alert enough and kept an eye on her sister...
Later, Yan Naqian designed a plan to have Jiang Hongzhi and Zhou Chunni hide in the cornfield. Later, Jiang Hongzhi failed in the competition for the worker-peasant-soldier student, and Zhou Chunni kept forcing him to get married... Jiang Hongzhi was furious and signed up to come to the construction of the Northwest.
At that time Taotao asked Song Zhi what the Northwest was like.
Song Zhi told Tao Tao: The Northwest is the most barren place. The land there cannot grow food and people's lives are very hard.
From then on, Taotao set her own goals.
Now seeing Zhou Chunni, Taotao feels complicated.
In a blink of an eye, six or seven years have passed, and Zhou Chunni has changed a lot - the previous Zhou Chunni was a fair, slim and pretty girl.
Now, Zhou Chunni, who is about 27 or 28 years old, looks like she is almost 40. She had a thick waist and tanned skin, and her original pretty appearance... was gone.
She is just an ordinary rural woman from Northwest China!
Zhou Chunni asked Taotao with great joy, "Why are you here?"
Taotao smiled and said, "This is my laboratory!"
She told Zhou Chunni about her life over the years:
——Ruyi Village has become prosperous and has become a well-known model village. Although every household today cannot be said to be very wealthy, at least they have no problem with food and clothing.
——Yan Naqian broke the law and went to jail. But he should have been released now.
——Zhou Xiaoni can already read and write, so she should be living a pretty good life now.
——Zhou Chunsheng is now working in the Capital Military Hospital, and things are going well.
——Taotao’s family has moved out of Ruyi Village. Lili got married and had a daughter. Taotao also married Song Zhi and gave birth to a son. Look, that is her and Song Zhi's child.
——She got the place in the worker-peasant-soldier student program two years later than Brother Dongsheng. Now she has completed college and was sent here by the country to work and engage in agricultural research.
…
Hearing these things, one by one, Zhou Chunni's eyes filled with tears.
Look at Bai Taotao in front of her again - she is as beautiful as ever, otherwise Zhou Chunni would not have recognized her at first sight. But no matter what, when she left her hometown, Bai Taotao was seventeen or eighteen years old, and now six or seven years have passed... The twenty-four-year-old Bai Taotao is still beautiful, but she has an more elegant and calm sense of dignity.
When Taotao asked Zhou Chunni, "What about you? How have you been these years?"
Zhou Chunni suddenly burst into tears without any warning.
Taotao stopped talking in confusion.
Not only Professor Fu and Deng Gaoyun were stunned, but even Song Zhi was alarmed. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes, and rushed over with his bare chest and a hammer in hand to check the situation.
I saw a typical Northwestern woman standing in front of Taotao crying, and she looked like she was about to faint...
Song Zhi hurried over and asked Tao Tao, "Who is this?"
Tao Tao pointed at Zhou Chunni and said, "She is Zhou Chunni, Chunsheng's younger sister and Zhou Xiaoni's older sister!"
Song Zhi understood.
He still vaguely remembered Zhou Chunni's appearance.
However, after taking a look at Zhou Chunni...he could not compare the dark-skinned and strong middle-aged woman in front of him with the fair and pretty village girl deep in his memory.
Moreover, Song Zhi became annoyed when he heard the three words "Zhou Chunsheng", and his expression became less enthusiastic. He said perfunctorily: "So you are from the same hometown, then you two can chat."
As he said this, he looked around and found his son squatting on the ground, playing with several children from the villagers... Only then did he feel relieved and went back to hammering with the hammer.
Zhou Chunni tearfully pulled Taotao aside and started talking -
"I was short-sighted. I thought Ruyi Village was the hardest place. I thought any place would be better if I left there. Besides, he was so determined to come here, and I really thought this place was good!"
"Look at the result. It's just such a shabby place! It's far worse than Ruyi Village! No matter how bad Ruyi Village is, the mountain products in the back mountain can feed people. What about here? Look... It's all floating sand, where can crops survive! This is the real place where there is no grass at all!"
"Jiang Hongzhi doesn't value me at all! I've been married to him for seven years, and he... even when he goes back to his hometown to visit his relatives, he goes alone! I said I wanted to go and see him, but he wouldn't let me go. If I said a few more words, he would beat me up... I gave birth to three children for him, but he... refused to take any of them with him!"
Hearing this, Tao Tao was a little shocked, "You... gave birth to three children?!"
Zhou Chunni nodded shyly and touched her belly. "The first three were two sons and one daughter. I hope this one... is also a son!" As she spoke, a trace of pride finally appeared on her face. "Taotao, others say that I am lucky and will give birth to sons!"
Then he asked hesitantly, "Did your third sister give birth to a daughter?"
Taotao knew what was going on as soon as she heard it.
——Zhou Chunni has no place to show off her sense of superiority, so she shows off that she has more sons than her own sister Li Zi?
Taotao didn't want to say that Sister Li Zi's husband was one of the country's leaders.
So he said, "Then your Jiang Hongzhi must have a heavy burden too. He has to feed five mouths... no, he's going to feed six mouths soon! So how is your family's food supply?"
Zhou Chunni: …
Tao Tao continued, "I still remember when you left home, you made a bet with my third sister, saying that you two should compete with each other for ten years... Let's see who has a better life in ten years! Sister Chunni, do you still remember?"
Zhou Chunni's face was burning, "Ah, this..."
Tao Tao said seriously: "To be honest, I think my third sister is living a better life!"
Zhou Chunni covered her face.
After a long while, Zhou Chunni stuttered to get back on track, "My Jiang Hongzhi is now the team leader! We have heard that your project will allow each person in our team to receive ten kilograms of rice at the end of the year... Taotao, if you have any questions, just come to our Hongzhi... Well, you can also talk to me."
After all, Zhou Chunni didn't dare to argue with Taotao. After all, Taotao was in charge of this scientific research project. What if Taotao got angry and didn't allow Jiang Hongzhi to participate?
So Zhou Chunni called her three children over and introduced them to Taotao:
"Taotao, this is my eldest daughter Jiang Aihong, nicknamed Honghong, who is six years old this year. I gave birth to her the first year I came to Lingxi. This is my second son Jiang Aiguo, who is four years old this year. This is my third son Jiang Aijun, who is two years old this year."
Tao Tao also called Xiao Feibai over, "Fei Fei, say hello to Auntie quickly."
Xiao Feibai greeted Zhou Chunni obediently, "Hello, Auntie!"
Seeing that Xiao Feibai was fair, cute and polite, Zhou Chunni urged her child to say hello to Taotao. As a result, the three children all lowered their heads, looking very uncomfortable?
Taotao didn't force it and let the children go over and play with a smile.
After the greetings, the other women working in the greenhouse shouted:
"Zhou Chunni! Come over and work quickly! Why do you want to be lazy again?"
"The more you urge her, the more she says she can't work because she's pregnant..."
"Tsk, you act like you've never been pregnant before! The work here is the easiest! If she doesn't want to do it, just let her go! There are so many people who want to work..."
"Be careful, she might use her husband's position as production team leader to pressure you!"
"I don't care. If Zhou Chunni doesn't work, I won't work either!"
"Zhou Chunni, come over here and work quickly!"
Zhou Chunni seemed not to hear.
Tao Tao kindly reminded her, "They are calling you to work, go over there quickly!"
Zhou Chunni: …
"I'm not in a hurry. I'll chat with you for a while," Zhou Chunni said calmly, "Taotao, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Taotao, "But I'm very busy. If you have anything to say, let's talk after I get off work!" After saying that, Taotao went to the side to find Professor Fu and Deng Gaoyun.
Zhou Chunni originally just wanted to take her time and do as little work as possible.
I didn't expect Bai Taotao to not give me any face at all?
She could only pout and slowly return to the group of women who were working.
The experimental field that Deng Gaoyun is in charge of is about a hundred kilometers away from Taotao's experiment, and he came here to help. He also has to rush back to take care of his experimental fields. So around three o'clock in the afternoon, he said goodbye to Professor Fu, Taotao and Song Zhi, made an appointment with Taotao for the next time he would visit, and then drove away.
Taotao went to see the results of Song Zhi's work this afternoon.
——Now her room has been preliminarily tidied up, and the bed and bookcase have been placed by the window according to her usual preference. The bedding on the bed has been made, and there are several candlesticks with glass tubes on the desk. When you light candles, you can cover them with such covers so that you don’t have to worry about the candles being blown out by the wind.
——The curtains have been hung and the wardrobe has been put away. There is also a set of dining tables and chairs, as well as a small table and chairs belonging to Xiao Feibai.
This truly illustrates the saying that a small sparrow may have all the organs.
At the same time, Song Zhi also nailed several candlesticks on the wall - the entire house is made of wood, so lighting candles is quite dangerous. So he nailed a board to the wooden wall, and then used pliers to twist the wire ring and fix it. Then he could put the candle holder on the iron ring, light the candle, and then cover it with the glass tube...
In this way, candle lighting becomes both safe and bright!
Taotao was quite satisfied.
Then she went to see another room - Professor Fu would stay here for the next few days, at least a week. So Professor Fu’s house must also be prepared.
When I walked in, I saw that it was okay. The bed was already made, so it shouldn't be a problem for the teacher to stay there temporarily.
Taotao felt relieved.
She discussed the details of the project with her teacher. At 5:30 in the afternoon, a deafening chanting sound suddenly sounded in the distance.
"The sea sails with the helmsman, the growth of all things depends on the sun... the rain and dew nourish the seedlings..."
Now, even the women working in the greenhouse couldn't sit still anymore, "It's time to get off work!"
Zhou Chunni ran out of the side door of the film shed like a gust of wind, "Boss! Boss... guess who Bai Taotao is?"
As soon as she said this, she realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her words, "Guess who is in charge of this greenhouse!"
It was the production team's workers who had returned from working outside.
The leader was the production team leader Jiang Hongzhi.
