Chapter 129
The little brat's gaze was too obvious. Lu Qin lowered his head to glance at Kong Dongdong, so while he was talking, his eyes were not idle either.
Jiang Baojie on the opposite side was still taking notes. In short, he kept praising the country, society and friends, and not a single word was praising himself.
People in this era are generally very simple. Of course, some people who have learned to speak nonsense after struggling in society are not excluded, but Lu Qin is not among them. Jiang Baojie looked at the words he had written down and felt that only people with such pure minds could write so many good articles.
"Okay, let's move on to the next question. Regarding helping the educated youth and the young people of Laiyang County get into college, I wonder what you think, Comrade Lu?"
Because the interview environment provided by Lu Qin was too comfortable, Jiang Baojie now spoke in a slow and gentle voice during interviews.
Coincidentally, Liu Zhi and others were quietly coming to the outside of the courtyard wall.
The earthen wall was not soundproof, so they stopped there and listened to what Lu said.
Kong Dongdong's eyes had long since moved away from the pen. The skin under his eyelashes was fair. He suddenly noticed something, so he turned his head to look at the wall. He saw several heads at once. He opened his mouth slightly: There are so many people.
The little hand also tugged at his uncle's clothes, but it was not very obvious because Kong Dongdong was still shy when outsiders were present.
Lu Qin raised his hand and continued to stroke his nephew's hair, leaning back. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Comrade Jiang. Actually, I have my own understanding of the word 'help'. Help can only play a supporting role. Ultimately, they have to rely on themselves. They have to find their own way. So if their achievements are attributed to me, I absolutely cannot accept it."
"Oh," Jiang Baojie looked up in surprise, "You mean, your role in their admission to university was very small, right?"
"Yes, of course. First, our country provides opportunities. Second, they are willing to seize these opportunities and muster up the courage to seek help. If any of these conditions are missing, it would be difficult to do well in the exam."
Jiang Baojie quickly wrote down a paragraph, and in the note he planned to write "Comrade Lu is modest and willing to contribute".
Outside the wall, the educated youth actually heard his description, and an inexplicable feeling of gratitude welled up in their hearts. Hearing him completely minimize his own role to almost nothing. And the reporter across the way was still writing.
They couldn't help themselves. Seeing the person taking the photo just taking a picture, Jiang Baojie also stopped writing. He interrupted them and said, "Wait a minute, we are the educated youth. Can we tell us what we think?"
A strange voice came from the wall, and the three big and small ones turned their heads at once. Liu Zhi also noticed that Kong Dongdong was there, but this was not the point.
"You are an educated youth"
Liu Zhi pushed the door open with a blushing face and said, "Sorry, we just wanted to say a few words. I hope we didn't disturb you."
"No, no."
Jiang Baojie stood up and was pleasantly surprised to be able to interview the educated youth.
"Let's just say a few words. I can speak for all of us educated youth. We're all very grateful to Mr. Lu. Not only us, but also the students from Laiyang County..."
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Baojie heard a different explanation from him.
Lu Qin himself felt embarrassed at this moment. He lowered his head and silently looked into Kong Dongdong's eyes. Kong Dongdong grinned, his eyes narrowed.
After this was over, Jiang Baojie made a request, "Can we take a few photos of you and leave a space for you later?"
"Sure." When they first stepped forward, they just wanted to correct it, but now they are really nervous.
A few clicks.
After Jiang Baojie expressed his gratitude, he asked Lu Qin a few routine questions. Feeling a little sorry that his sister and brother-in-law were not there, he prepared to say goodbye as he had to catch the next bus to the city.
Lu Qin got the final interview transcript and read it over from the beginning. Overall, Jiang Baojie had a good ability to retell the story. Several copies were the original words, with his understanding and annotations on the side.
But he looked at the interview transcript and felt a little embarrassed.
"Comrade Lu, do you have any questions or comments? I can edit them for you now and we'll publish them in the newspaper later."
"The problem is no, it's just that I'm not that great. Comrade Jiang, you don't have to write so many words about me."
Jiang Baojie felt that he was too modest. Knowing that he had no power over him, he simply did not try to persuade him but only agreed verbally.
After closing the interview manuscript, Jiang Baojie asked them to stand together and take a photo with Lu Qin standing in the middle.
"Okay, thank you Comrade Lu for your cooperation. Our interview today ends here."
"Comrade Jiang, you've worked hard too."
This was the first time that Jiang Baojie had such a smooth interview. He drank the last half of the tea in his cup and said goodbye.
After watching Jiang Baojie leave, a group of educated youth gathered in front of Lu Qin and belatedly said, "Comrade Lu, we didn't cause you any trouble, did we?"
Lu Qin turned his gaze back, how could he possibly cause trouble? "No, no, but are you here because you need my help?"
The educated youth then told the purpose of their visit, "The next time we meet will probably be in Ningchuan City. We are at the university next to Ningchuan City, and there is a direct train to Ningchuan University. Our original agreement still stands. If you need anything, please come to us."
Of course, they still felt that the possibility was slim, but they just wanted to express their gratitude.
Lu Qin smiled and patted their shoulders. "Okay, then you must study hard when you get to college. I'll come to you if I need anything."
At this moment, no one thought that what he said was serious, and everyone nodded.
After the educated youth left, the yard returned to peace, and the only thing left to do was wait for the manuscript to come out.
Lu Qin turned his attention back to Kong Dongdong. "Kong Dongdong, were you staring at Uncle Jiang's pen just now?"
Kong Dongdong walked over and nodded, answering his question seriously, "Well, that pen looks good, and the words it writes look good, but it's different from mine."
It turned out that his focus was on making his handwriting look good. Lu Qin patted his shoulder and said, "When your uncle goes to school, I'll bring you one."
Kong Dongdong didn't nod immediately. Instead, he asked him, "Uncle, is it expensive? If it's expensive, then I don't want it. I will buy it myself when I grow up."
After he said that, his belly bulged.
Lu Qin suddenly felt kindhearted and said, "You are still worried about this. Don't worry, it's not expensive. When the time comes, your uncle can easily earn this money."
Kong Dongdong never doubted what his uncle said. He nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Lu Qin was bored and wanted to tease the child. "Then help your uncle pack up his things."
"Uncle, you take a rest, I'll do it."
Jiang Manzhu came back halfway and saw Kong Dongdong running around while Lu Qin was lying there motionless. He suddenly reflected on whether there was something wrong with his own education method. The Kong family had a good education method, so they were able to get three college students.
Lu Qin felt that there was someone outside the wall. He squinted his eyes and looked over, but saw nothing.
"Dongdong, you don't have to take my cup. I still want to drink some water."
"Okay!"
On this side, Jiang Baojie got on the car and rushed to the province. He was ready to work overtime to finish the manuscript.
