Chapter 30
Wu Ming expressionlessly tugged at his clothes, clutched the notebook in his hand, and stood a little further away from him. With a sullen face, he whispered, "If Comrade Lu's eyesight is not good, he can get a pair of glasses sooner rather than later."
“…”
He seemed to have let out all his resentment.
Who has poor eyesight! Lu Qin is a good guy. He didn't realize that Comrade Wu Ming, an intellectual and worker, has this kind of personality.
He scraped his feet lightly against the ground, squinting his eyes as he looked over, ready to reacquaint himself with Comrade Wu Ming. After all, they were about the same age.
Wu Ming wore a light gray top with black pants and a pair of black suede shoes. His 3:7 hairstyle made him look particularly energetic. He looked like a young and promising man with a good family background.
It's a pity that he is nearsighted at such a young age.
He raised his eyes, wanting to feel the thickness of the lenses in the black frame, and found that Comrade Wu Ming had a pair of eyes that were different from his appearance. His eyes were round, small and round, and it was difficult to describe them.
Phew
Director Yang was about to continue introducing them, but seeing that the two of them were already chatting, he stopped intervening. "Director Sun, let's go over the procedures in detail..."
The look he had just received had already made him very uncomfortable, so Wu Ming's face darkened even more. "What are you laughing at?"
"It's okay, Comrade Wu, your eyes are pretty. I think they'll look even better without your glasses."
Lu Qin swore that he was really praising her sincerely, he just wanted it but didn't have it yet.
But Comrade Wu Ming didn't seem to accept it. He glanced at him lightly, his face darkening even more. "This is really inexplicable!"
After saying this, he took a step forward. Lu Qin, who had been described as "incomprehensible" after being "slippery-tongued", could actually detect anger in the other footsteps.
Director Yang and the other two were chatting when they noticed Wu Ming coming up. He said, "You two have finished your discussion."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qin had already caught up with him, and said very understandingly, "Director Yang, we have finished our conversation."
Director Yang was on the left, Sun Juan was in the middle, and Zhao Sufen was on the right. Director Zhao saw that he couldn't squeeze in on the left, so he had to settle for the next best thing and walk on the right.
Zhao Sufen naturally couldn't ignore the presence of another person around her. She had seen this male comrade in the yard where she worked at the Women's Federation last time. She thought this young comrade was very handsome at first sight, but she didn't know where the female comrade had gone. In front of so many people, she didn't ask.
He noticed that Director Zhao was looking at him. Surprised, he smiled politely and said, "Hello, Director Zhao."
Director Zhao smiled, "Comrade Xiao Lu, you're welcome! I recognized you the moment you walked in today."
"Aunt, isn't this a coincidence? I recognized you just now. The key is your spirit, which we young people can't compare to." Lu Qin can talk to anyone.
Zhao Sufen was amused by him again and suddenly felt that the young comrade was quite interesting.
Sun Juan didn't know what she was talking about with Director Yang, so she waved him over.
"Director Sun,"
With business at hand, Sun Juan didn't correct his address. "Now, this is the situation. You've heard the requirements from the meeting just now. You'll work with Comrade Wu Ming on the content. As for the rest of the manpower, the Public Security Bureau, the Women's Federation, and the Commune will all contribute. Comrade Wu Ming, Comrade Lu Qin, what do you two think?"
Wu Ming agreed in advance, showing a serious attitude, "Don't worry, Director, I will do a good job in this regard."
Lu Qin hesitated a beat and said, "Please rest assured, leaders. I will complete this task well."
Once it comes to serious business, he feels that he is quite reliable.
Qin Mingzhi came over at some point, no longer holding the teacup in his hand. He glanced at Lu Qin, intentionally or unintentionally, "It's still early. We at the Public Security Bureau can provide a venue for you to prepare well."
Director Zhao raised his wrist to check the time and interrupted, "Alright then. Try to get it ready by tomorrow evening. Rehearse for two days the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Then, schedule that promotional performance before the spring plowing starts to avoid delaying farm work."
Director Yang and Sun Juan had no objections, but Director Yang took Wu Ming aside to talk for a while.
Glancing at the three people chatting enthusiastically over there, Director Yang patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "I know you're not convinced, and I've made a lot of preparations. But now it's something that can only be accomplished by the cooperation of two people. You have to follow Comrade Lu later."
Wu Ming had intended to use this opportunity to present his propaganda to Director Zhang of the County Revolutionary Committee, hoping to secure a position in the commune after his return. However, even the content of the propaganda was altered, becoming a staged spectacle, leaving him with no opportunity to showcase his skills. He had always prided himself on being superior to others.
He felt aggrieved, "I know."
Director Yang continued to comfort him, "If you do well this time, I can still fight for an opportunity for you..."
Ten minutes later, Comrade Lu Qin and Wu Ming returned to the simple office alone.
The cups on the table had been removed, and the three long tables were empty. Lu Qin was about to speak when he saw Comrade Wu Ming take out a handkerchief from his pocket, spread it on the table, and then carefully wiped the area in front of his eyes over and over again. After an unknown number of times, he put away the handkerchief and folded it carefully, then put the notebook tucked under his arm on it.
Just from these smooth movements, Lu Qin: "..."
But his actions completely drew his attention to the notebook.
Qin Mingzhi came in at this moment, holding two notebooks and two pens. "You guys can use them for now. I'll find more if they're not enough."
Upon hearing Qin Gongan's voice, Wu Ming calmed down and stood up, saying, "Qin Gongan, there's no need to bother. I brought the notebook."
Qin Mingzhi glanced over at the red, plastic-covered notebook with a large, golden red star and red flag emblazoned on the front. Not everyone would be willing to buy a notebook like this. However, the thought only flashed through his mind.
Lu Qin said, "Public Security Qin, Comrade Wu doesn't need them, so give me both!"
Qin Mingzhi took the patchwork notebook and said, "You want all of them?"
"Yes, I want to!" He mainly wanted to write down everything he could write, so that he could help people of this generation in any way he could.
Qin Mingzhi just handed it to him and reminded him, "Write well."
The words "There will be a reward after you finish writing" were almost written on his face.
Lu Qin raised his eyebrows after figuring out the meaning.
Qin Mingzhi stopped and turned around again. "Your brother-in-law has gone out to work. He asked me to remind you to wait here honestly and not wander around."
Lu Qin made an OK gesture and didn't ask any more questions about the official business.
Hearing their familiar conversation, Wu Ming frowned, and then thought of what Director Yang had told him, and there was not much smile left on his face.
After he left, Lu Qin sat down directly opposite Wu Ming.
Wu Ming stared at his movements for a while before he sat down, opened the notebook, and flipped directly to the middle part.
Lu Qin squinted his eyes, probably because of the densely packed words.
I couldn't help but wonder what was written in his precious notebook. "Comrade Wu Ming, can I take a look at your notes?"
Wu Ming raised his head, a look of 'Do we know each other well?' on his face. He said cautiously, "Write your own!"
"How about this? Let's swap. After all, Director Sun and the others told us to cooperate. What if they ask us and we say different things? Wouldn't that go against the will of our superiors?"
Wu Ming finally paused and reluctantly took a step back. "Let's check each other's work after we finish writing it."
Lu Qin felt that he was the kind of person who was looking for an excuse to copy homework in his mind. He was afraid of pushing him to the limit, so he agreed, "Okay."
Wu Ming uncapped his pen, lowered his head, and began writing seriously. Suddenly, the tip of the pen slid across the paper, making a rustling sound.
Lu Qin had just opened the simple version of the notebook when he heard the other party's satisfaction. He was impressed that it could even be rolled up.
He scratched his eyebrows with the tip of his pen, slowly recalling the various deception techniques he had seen in modern times, and then lightly traced the tip of his pen across the paper. Besides pretending to be relatives and friends, the most basic one was tricking children into giving them candy...
Wu Ming glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and seeing the movement of his pen tip, he couldn't help but speed up his hand. He was so nervous that he wrote two words wrong. He frowned and could only cross them out and write again.
An hour later.
The two men faced each other, and Lu Qin openly spread out the notebook, "Comrade Wu Ming, let's exchange."
Wu Ming hesitated, frowning, but still pursed his lips and handed over the notes, while at the same time taking his.
The two looked at each other and quickly opened the pages.
Lu Qin still wrote it seriously.
At the same time, Lu Qin also opened his. It had to be said that Wu Ming's handwriting was quite different from his personality. It was a sharp, elegant stroke, very recognizable, and the mere sight of the page was very pleasing to the eye. As for the content, he wrote with extreme care, even going so far as to discuss various aspects: the forms of human traffickers, how parents can prevent them, and how children can identify human traffickers.
To be honest, it is already excellent to be able to write like this in a short time.
In modern times, it would be like a student who would take the teacher's assignments very seriously. Even if the teacher asks him to complete his homework 100%, he would insist on doing it 120%.
Across from him, Wu Ming was also amazed by Lu Qin's handwriting. Unlike him, his calligraphy was full of flying dragons and phoenixes, full of personality. Although the content only touched upon the theme, each point was well-written, even with many deceptive forms. Even he found it incredible after reading it. The feeling of dissatisfaction faded a little.
"Comrade Wu Ming," the person opposite suddenly called him.
Wu Ming looked up and saw Lu Qin saying, "I accidentally saw the notes in front of you."
He really didn't mean it. It was mainly because he wrote too seriously and read too seriously.
At that moment, the expression on Wu Ming's face changed, and Lu Qin even thought he would be angry.
"Look at it if you want, it's useless anyway!"
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lu Qin felt that his attitude had changed after seeing the notebook, but it still felt a bit awkward.
But Lu Qin now felt a little sympathetic to him, because from the contents at the front of the notebook, his mind had roughly filled in the cause and effect of the incident. It was probably about an outstanding high school student who had made all the preparations to go to the county town to meet the big boss. He was very excited, but was beaten to the punch by an inconspicuous junior high school student. The big boss also looked at the junior high school student differently.
Even the work I worked so hard to write was rejected by everyone before it even saw the light of day, and was of no use at all.
He is the junior high school student who suddenly broke in.
Putting himself in his shoes, he actually seemed to understand Wu Ming's feelings a little. But he was quite surprised to see him calm down so quickly.
Seeing the sympathetic expression on the face of the person opposite him, Wu Ming's cheeks twitched, and then he snatched the notebook from his hand.
"Ahem," Lu Qin said, a little embarrassed. "Comrade Wu Ming, I didn't mean to do that. I'm really a little sorry."
Wu Ming didn't know whether he was more embarrassed or angry at that moment, but he didn't pursue the matter any further. With mixed feelings, he lowered his head and added some things on his notebook.
Lu Qin stopped teasing him and added a little more information after getting inspiration from his notebook.
Someone came in and brought a meal, a simple white steamed bun with white porridge and four eggs.
Lu Qin had an egg left, so he put it in his pocket and prepared to take it back for his nephew to eat. The main reason was that the two hens raised by Sun Laimei were brooding and hadn't laid eggs for several days.
After lunch, the two discussed the subsequent work quite smoothly. After all, both of them were smart and wanted to get things done at the critical moment.
By evening, almost all the content had been arranged, and all that remained was to design the 'scenario stage'.
Kong Yue stood at the door and saw them busy leaving again.
Qin Mingzhi was cleaning the office. He looked up and saw him come in. He said, "I haven't been out all afternoon."
Kong Yue knew who he was talking about, so he agreed and thanked him.
"How about going to Liujiazhuang Brigade today?" he asked about work.
"The person has been brought back, and he's much more honest than before."
Kong Yue went out this morning to deal with the Liujiazhuang matter, which was still related to the previous human trafficker incident. A woman rescued from the human traffickers was from the Liujiazhuang team, but as soon as she returned, her mother-in-law suspected that the woman was no longer clean, and her husband was a coward, so things started to get out of hand.
Whether it is the human trafficking incident or the subsequent matters, they are all the focus of the public security department.
Knowing that it was handled, Qin Mingzhi felt relieved. Seeing him tidying up the things on the table, he reminded him, "It's dark and the road is long. Take my bike back."
Kong Yue was about to refuse, but then he thought of Lu Qin and agreed, "Thank you!"
"Thank you for what!"
Once the sky starts to darken, it darkens faster and faster.
Kong Yue packed up his things, walked to the opposite room and knocked on the door, "Lu Qin, you're home!"
He happened to meet Wu Ming's gaze and nodded to him politely.
Receiving the look from Lu Qin's brother-in-law, Wu Ming responded politely.
"Just leave the things here, we'll need them tomorrow." Kong Yue interrupted them packing.
The two young men stopped their movements almost at the same time, and there was even a bit of tacit understanding between them.
Lu Qin stood up and caught a glimpse of the bicycle on the opposite side. He suddenly asked Wu Ming, "Comrade Wu, how are you going back?"
During the latter part of the period, Wu Ming had a very good attitude and was a very good learner. Honestly, he was also a very good person to work with.
Wu Ming was in a complicated mood. After an entire afternoon of working together, Lu Qin's actions weren't what he said, but he still found it hard to lower his head. He said uncomfortably, "My home is nearby. I'll ride my bike back later."
Lu Qin, who now has to ride on other people's bicycles and can only share one with his brother-in-law, feels jealous.
The three of them left the house almost at the same time. Wu Ming rode his bicycle and left first.
Lu Qin got into his brother-in-law's car. A voice came from the front, "How was your day? I remember Wu Ming was a high school student."
Kong Yue still remembered the young comrade with a proud head in the morning, but Lu Qin was not like that, he was just a junior high school student.
"good"
Lu Qin didn't really have any feelings about education, nor did he feel inferior to others because of a low level of education. High school students, by comparison, were considered to have a relatively high level of education in this era. Now, he could understand Wu Ming's dismissive glance that morning. Most people were like Wu Ming.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Kong Yue stopped talking to him and focused on riding his bike.
As the car stopped, a small figure rushed over on time and headed straight to the back, "Uncle!"
Kong Yue pushed the car in as if he was not surprised.
Lu Qin picked up his nephew and said, "Kong Dongdong, why are you here alone? Where are you?"
Kong Dongdong pointed in the direction where Sun Laimei disappeared.
Feeling his warm fingers, Lu Qin guessed that he was not cold, and he felt relieved. As an uncle, he was worried about his father.
The egg in his pocket was still warm, so he took it out and said, "Here, uncle will treat you to eggs."
Kong Dongdong took it with his two little hands, and said in a baby voice with his eyes curved, "Thank you, uncle."
Lu Qin suddenly felt that being a 'father' was not bad.
At this moment, Kong Yue suddenly realized something and looked back at him.
