Meng Hechuan laughed twice, "Of course it is necessary!"
He rolled up his sleeves and then remembered that his uniform jacket was still on Bai Yan.
White Rouge——
I am so lucky this year that I met Bai Yan who can speak English along the way.
She looks delicate and complains of being tired every day. She will easily fall sick if her workload is slightly increased.
But what is the reality?
The translation documents produced by her are more timely and complete than those produced by several translators in the previous few years.
And now Teacher Wang, who had been staying in Jinling, has also figured it out and returned to Jingzhou!
Meng Hechuan was full of confidence and excitement at this moment.
...
...
He firmly believed that one day, domestically-produced aircraft would be developed by him.
In the near future, the blue sky that belongs to them will no longer be controlled by others!
"By the way, Ah Chuan, you came to me half a year ago for that English blueprint, didn't you find the girl I recommended to you later?"
Meng Hechuan came back to his senses and shook his head, "When I went there, I heard that the girl was already married."
"Oh..." Teacher Wang's face flashed with regret, "Alas, it's a pity for Xiaobai. Although men and women are equal nowadays and women hold up half the sky, girls are still a vulnerable group in rural areas. They can be married off by their families for 200 yuan..."
Meng Hechuan's smiling eyes suddenly widened and his heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "Xiaobai".
"Xiaobai?" With his hands clasped together, Meng Hechuan asked, "Teacher, Xiaobai is..."
"Oh, the girl I originally recommended to you was surnamed Bai, but I don't know her name. But I know she is from Baijia Village. We met at the newspaper office in town. I didn't expect that in a rural place like Jinling, there would be a young person who could read English newspapers, so I got to know her through chatting. At that time, she learned that I had been a university professor and that I taught in the village school, so she came to visit me every day."
When talking about the past, Teacher Wang's reserved mood improved a little.
He looked at Meng Hechuan and recalled, "Oh, by the way, it's funny to say that I once wondered if you two were destined to meet! Do you remember you once told me that you accidentally fell off a cliff when you first came to Jinling to look for blueprints half a year ago?"
Of course Meng Hechuan remembered.
After I was rescued by the girl near Baijia Village, she sent me to the town's clinic without saying a word.
After Meng Hechuan regained his vision, the girl never appeared again.
Although he was sad, he could do nothing about it.
After Xiao Zhou arrived, he continued to look for the drawings.
"Teacher, of course I remember. Then what?"
Meng Hechuan, who usually keeps his emotions to himself, is now unusually anxious. "Why do you think she and I are meant to be together?"
"Hey, those are just random thoughts I came up with after you left!"
Teacher Wang thought Meng Hechuan's anxious attitude was strange, and thought he didn't like her random matchmaking, so she quickly explained: "Don't take it too seriously, I was just talking nonsense. Xiaobai, that girl, has taken time out to come to school almost every day in the past six months to teach English to the children. But there were a few days when she didn't show up as if she had disappeared. I was worried that something had happened to her, but she came on the fourth day. I asked her where she had been, and she said that she had saved someone a few days ago by following Lei Feng's example."
The excitement was like an undercurrent, surging in Meng Hechuan's body.
That bold and absurd idea appeared and disappeared again and again in his mind.
He didn't even care whether the idea was reasonable, logical, or safe.
Countless complex emotions hit him.
But he still waited with no clue.
"You seldom contacted me during this period. I thought you successfully found Xiaobai and asked her to translate for you. When I decided to go back to Jingzhou this time, I remembered what she said about learning from Lei Feng and saving people. I just didn't remember the time clearly. I just remembered that you said you fell off the cliff in early June. She didn't come to school in early June, so I made a blind guess. Maybe the person she saved was you."
Teacher Wang laughed. "Now I think I am old and prone to overthinking. There are no such coincidences in the world. It's a pity for a talent like Xiaobai. I have seen her reading English materials. She is very proficient, not worse than the translators we had when we were sent abroad..."
"Xiao Zhou!"
Teacher Wang was interrupted by Meng Hechuan before he could finish his words.
He looked at his students in astonishment. Wasn't Hechuan the calmest and most law-abiding student in his class?
Respecting teachers and honoring learning is a ritual that the famous Meng family has engraved in their blood for their descendants.
Although I am not Meng Hechuan's real teacher, he also treats me as a student and abides by the rules of discipleship.
There has never been such a gaffe as today.
"Tsurukawa? What's wrong with you?"
"Teacher Wang, I'm sorry that you came to see me right after getting off the train, and I haven't even offered you a sip of tea. But I have something very important to ask you to confirm for me, is that okay?"
Seeing how serious he looked, Teacher Wang wondered if he had run into some big trouble with his research.
He can't even wait a moment before dragging himself to seek a solution.
But since ancient times, teachers have always loved their students.
Teacher Wang couldn't help but straighten his back when his own apprentice helped himself. "Achuan, thanks to your support over the years, you even helped me set up a primary school in the village and helped many children who had no chance to read and write. In my heart, you are more than just my student. If you have any difficulties, just ask."
"Thank you, teacher." Meng Hechuan's eyes were dark. He reached out and patted the driver's seat heavily. "Go to the Propaganda Department."
…
Meng Hechuan and his colleagues came out early today, and the comrades from the Propaganda Department had not yet finished their exercises.
Xiao Zhou went to the playground to look for someone, while Meng Hechuan and Teacher Wang stood at the door of the Propaganda Department waiting.
Teacher Wang felt in his pocket and took out a pack of Qinjian brand cigarettes.
During the years of being sent down to the countryside, he changed all his habits except smoking, which became even more severe.
But now Teacher Wang is just an ordinary rural teacher, and he can no longer afford to smoke expensive cigarette brands like Hongtashan and Ashima like before.
Meng Hechuan lowered his eyes to take a look, then took the matches from him.
With a light stroke, he gathered the paint with his hand and lit it for Teacher Wang.
Teacher Wang pushed out another cigarette. Meng Hechuan thought about it and tried to pick it up with his fingers, but the cigarette was taken back by Teacher Wang.
"You're acting abnormally today? Could it be that I haven't seen you for a few months and you've been led astray by that kid from the Lu family? Don't you usually not smoke?"
Teacher Wang was holding a cigarette in his mouth, wondering, "What happened? What's up with you?"
Meng Hechuan stood straight, his eyes long and unhurried, "I'm not upset, it's..."
After talking for a long time, he still couldn't make out the reason.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhou came back with some young comrades from the Propaganda Department and broke the deadlock.
The young comrade saluted Meng Hechuan and said, "Chief Engineer Meng, are you looking for me?"
"Did you take these photos on site when the exchange class started?"
"It's me." The young comrade was startled and thought, is this chief engineer here to check on him?
"I just finished writing that report and sent it to the leadership for a second review. Do you want to see the manuscript?"
"I want to see the pictures."
"Photos? Ah, photos!"
Meng Hechuan tried his best to make his voice sound steady, "Have the photos been developed?"
The young comrade responded, nodded, took the key and went to unlock the office, "They are out, but I took several photos that day, do you want to see them all?"
"Yes, I do."
Soon, the young comrade ran out holding a stack of developed color photos, "Chief Engineer Meng, here are the photos."
Meng Hechuan took the photos, turned to face the sunlight, and looked at them one by one.
Not this one.
Not this one either.
Teacher Wang put out his cigarette and came over. "What photo?"
Meng Hechuan's hand suddenly stopped. He raised the photo in his hand and handed it to Teacher Wang, "Teacher, is the Xiaobai you mentioned her?"
