"Who knows?" Zhong Yuxiu shrugged, neither denying nor admitting.
Xi Nian shook his head and laughed, "You are still the same as always..."
"As lively and cute as ever?" I can't wait for the next words, so what's wrong with being shameless?
"Hahaha." Xi Nian laughed loudly, "No, no, no, to be precise, it's humor. Comrade Zhong's sense of humor has not changed; occasionally he says something unexpected." It always makes people choke.
Zhong Yuxiu: “…” I felt offended.
"Now, reorganize your words. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said."
Xi Nian shook his head and laughed, "Comrade Zhong is lively and lovable. Young people, after all, are more lively and energetic. However, although you are young now, you have achieved something that many people would never dare to dream of in their entire lives. You have the right to be choked."
This was quite pertinent, and Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly. Seeing this, Xi Nian chuckled to himself, and after a while he continued, "Comrade Zhong, they'll probably search you when we get there. I'll handle it, so you don't have to worry about it. If they don't search you, that would be the best."
"Okay, I'll leave everything to you."
She is only responsible for meeting someone and leaving.
When we arrived at our destination, the vehicle drove into a courtyard house. Although it only had three entrances, it was a rare residence.
"Comrade Zhong, we've arrived. Please get out of the car." After Xi Nian opened the car door and got out, he placed one hand above the door to welcome Zhong Yuxiu.
Yuxiu looked at him, then at Gu Lingguo, and finally chose to get off from Xi Nian's side; Gu Lingguo next to her and Fang Guozhong in the passenger seat also opened the door and got out. When the two walked to Zhong Yuxiu's side, Xi Nian stopped them.
"There's no need for you two to follow me. It's safe here, and no one can threaten Comrade Zhong's safety. Therefore, you two and my guards will wait here."
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong immediately looked at Zhong Yuxiu, and after Zhong Yuxiu nodded, they made way; they retreated to the side of the car and stood with Xi Nian's guard who got off later.
Two men with guns walked over and Xi Nian took out his ID.
"We are here to see the leader. We have an appointment."
The two men took a look, handed the documents back to Xi Nian, and saluted, "Please follow me."
There was no body search. They passed through the first courtyard and entered the second courtyard. In ancient times, the first courtyard of a wealthy family was the main gate, and the second courtyard was the hall, usually used for receiving guests. And the hall they entered was the hall used for receiving guests.
There is an ancient poem that says: How deep is the courtyard?
In ancient times, people regarded the third or back courtyard as a private room or boudoir. The deeper the courtyard, the less likely one was to peek into its inner chambers.
Entering the second hall, the two guards who brought them in trotted into the inner hall and reported.
"Leader, Comrade Xi Nian brought a comrade here."
"Please, don't neglect Comrade Zhong." The superior said with a smile.
"Yes." The guard saluted and left the hall.
The leader stood up and walked to the door. When he saw Xi Nian and the people around him, he couldn't help laughing.
"Comrade Xi, Comrade Zhong, welcome, welcome!"
"Hello, leader." Xi Nian responded respectfully.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly, her attitude respectful, "Hello."
"Come in, the food's ready. How about we talk while we eat?" He was affable, his hair half-timbered, yet he looked energetic. "You must be hungry after all this journey, right?"
"Yes, I'm a little hungry." Zhong Yuxiu nodded honestly.
Xi Nian had the urge to cover his face, but the leader laughed again, "Please take a seat. You're welcome here. Just treat yourself as if you were at home."
"Thank you." Yuxiu thanked him and turned to look at Xi Nian.
Xi Nian stammered for a moment, then quickly calmed down. "Thank you, leader. You go first."
"I told you you're welcome. Come, sit with us."
After the host said this, Zhong Yuxiu, who was tired of refusing many times, walked forward and sat down with the leader. Seeing this, Xi Nian had to sit down as well, but the seat Zhong Yuxiu chose was the lower seat, while he chose the downwind seat.
"Comrade Zhong, I've heard of your great name for a long time, but never had the pleasure of meeting you. Seeing you today, I realize it's true that hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person. You're only twenty-three this year, aren't you?"
"Yes."
The leader smiled. "To have achieved such success at the age of 23 is truly a testament to the saying that a strong youth makes a strong nation, and a prosperous youth makes a prosperous nation. Your generation has encountered a golden age! People born in the 1950s and 1960s may not have had this opportunity."
"You are right. We have indeed encountered good times. As long as we seize the opportunity, we will be able to ride the wind." Zhong Yuxiu spoke frankly, and she was right; opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
Xi was young and it was not a good time to give a reminder.
The leader didn't care about her honesty, but instead appreciated her purity.
"That's right. If you seize the opportunity, you can realize your dream and become a knowledgeable and capable person who can contribute to the country. What about you? Why did you want to go to university in the first place?"
Zhong Yuxiu paused for a moment, then spoke slowly, "To be honest, I just want to live a good life while also being lazy."
"Did your original idea come true?"
No!
Zhong Yuxiu met his gaze, which was gentle yet sharp; however, she was not afraid, having witnessed too many big scenes, and she thought that no matter what the occasion, she could remain calm.
“Until now…it hasn’t happened yet.”
"Why?" As far as he knew, she lived a fulfilling life, not much worse than him.
Xi Nian clenched her hands on her knees. The leader didn't know her original thoughts; if he knew, he probably wouldn't think that her current life was the good life she wanted.
really.
"When I first went to the countryside, I figured I'd just muddle through since I was the only one there. But life in the countryside is so hard. There's nothing to eat or drink, there are so few resources, and earning money is so hard. At this rate, I'll die without ever getting to eat what I want. Do you know what kind of person I am?"
"I'd like to hear the details." The leader waited calmly for further instructions.
Zhong Yuxiu frankly said: "I want to be a rice bug, a salted fish."
"Bugs in the rice jar? That's quite happy; what about the salted fish? They're all dried up. You want to make them into mummies? That's a weird idea." The leader couldn't help laughing.
A little horrified, Zhong Yuxiu moved her lips and said, "Just lie down flat on your back."
"Do you want to be a decadent, unambitious, mediocre person who does nothing?" Judging from the contributions she has made, it doesn't seem like that.
Zhong Yuxiu shrugged. "If I had a good family background and endless money, I wouldn't mind. I just want to live a simple life, but things are unpredictable."
From the day I left the mountain village, I was constantly inspired by others and have come this far.
"Luckily you didn't give up completely, otherwise we would have lost a great scientific researcher." The leader jokingly said, "You took the college entrance examination for the reasons mentioned above."
"The resumption of the college entrance examination was a great opportunity, so I signed up. Facts have proven I was right, and now I have a platform for development. Although I can't just sit there doing nothing and eat whatever I want, I still have enough to eat and drink, so that's good too."
You always have to fulfill the same wish, right?
