Worldly glitz (38)

What is the Gobi like? Lin Yutong and Fourth Master really knew it when they were driving on the road in the desert! The wind outside was blowing the yellow sand, and they really didn’t dare to open the car windows at all. Looking at it,

They are all earthy yellow and can be seen as far as the eye can see. The road is the only bright color in the desert, which proves that human footprints are indeed involved here.

Yes! One year passed by in a flash. Fourth Master graduated from his master's degree ahead of schedule, and Tongtong also graduated from his undergraduate degree ahead of schedule, and together they went to the northwest Gobi.

Fourth Master graduated in July, passed the written examination and interview in September, and was admitted to the First Petroleum Group. Tongtong, on the other hand, obtained the qualification for graduate school.

It seems like yesterday that I asked Professor Zheng about something. At that time, Professor Zheng said, "Feelings are rare! To do this business, two things are indispensable. One is feelings; the other is the willingness to be lonely. If you have such

The feelings are very good, and I also believe that you can endure loneliness. People who have seen prosperity should have a different mood. Of course, you have to endure poverty when doing scientific research. The salary of ordinary researchers is really not that high, no

You have to live in poverty for decades if you achieve good results. Of course you are different from others. The prize money you get from the competition and the interest on the money you put in the bank for a year are higher than your salary. In addition, your family is well-off and you don’t care about what you earn.

How much...you don't have to consider these, but you have to consider practical issues! You are a girl, and I heard that you have already dated a partner, so your marriage and love problems are even bigger..."

Tongtong said about Fourth Master at that time: "He studies energy and is engaged in energy. He will definitely not be able to do it if he does not work on the front line! The Gobi is also where he wants to go."

Professor Zheng recommended a tutor to Tongtong. This tutor’s research direction is Gobi ecology. She spends most of the year at the base here. There are only three or five of her students every year. After graduation, they go to take the civil service examination.

, I have never met anyone who can continue to do this research with the teacher.

For graduate students studying agriculture, you should check the school and the instructor. Some schools have close experimental bases, and students go to the bases in the morning and return in the evening. However, some schools have far away bases. Once they are in graduate school, they spend most of their time at the base. In some schools, the bases are far away.

Mentors, few people go to the base, most of them are doing experiments. But if the mentor’s experimental direction is there, you really have to go to a base that is quite far away.

It's September now. After going through a series of procedures at the school, I talked to the instructor named Xiao Baoyi on the phone. She didn't set a time limit for registration. She just said, "Get everything you need to prepare and come here."

Bar."

So, the two of them started packing up in September and set off from the capital in mid-September to the northwest.

Is there anything you can't let go of? Wu Yun, after she left, Lin Yutong initially thought that she would be lonely. Wu Chu, who was still thinking about her uncle's family, came to the capital this year to take the college entrance examination, and her niece was with her on the weekends, so she wasn't lonely at all!

But later she discovered that Wu Yun was probably in love.

It should be the man who chased her in the first place. Who he was and what his situation was, she didn't ask in detail. She just smiled and asked Wu Yun, "Are we dating."

Wu Yun blushed first, said "Shh", and asked Lin Yutong with a smile, "Do you think he is handsome and elegant?"

Lin Yutong asked her, "Is he never married, or is he widowed, or divorced."

"Widowed!" Wu Yun hugged Lin Yutong's arm, "He also has a daughter at home. She is not very young. We are dating without getting married. I am relaxed, and he should not have any burden."

"What kind of work do you do?"

"A doctor! Works in a hospital."

I checked secretly and found that there was no bad reputation. She had a job, had time to fall in love, and Wu Chu went to university in the capital. She should not be lonely.

When Lin Yutong proposed to go to the northwest, she had no other reason to object except that she was unwilling to go there because it was far away and extremely difficult there.

But before leaving, Lin Yutong still went to Wu's house to see her grandma and uncle. The old man smiled happily, "I heard that many people travel there, and the scenery there is different from ours."

Then he asked: "Do you live in the city?"

Yes! I live in the city and my base is in the suburbs.

"Every city is pretty much the same. You can buy everything, so that's fine."

Lin Yutong said, "It's mainly because I'm leaving that I don't trust my mother! She was transferred to the capital with me. Now, she's alone in the capital... The gentleman she's talking about is in the hospital here in the capital. If they date each other,

If you are with her, then she will be fine in the capital. If you feel that it is not suitable for you after two years of dating, you must tell me..."

good!

Grandma Qiu laughed sincerely, "People as old as you are studying abroad. Your aunt is still reluctant to let Wu Chu go, so why not ask him to leave? Now that I'm gone, I'll study for undergraduate, graduate, and then work...

...If you haven't been at home for ten years, how can you say something bad about your child? I know what you are thinking, and I am keeping an eye on it."

That's good!

Wu Yun was not that sad, "It's very convenient to fly now. You are going to Sucheng, which is the backbone of the energy industry. There are several flights a day. Are you afraid that I won't be able to go? You can fly there in four hours. It's a holiday."

I’ll go see you. If you’re missing anything, just call me and tell me. Air transportation is very convenient.”

"If I have delicious food over there, I will fly it back to you." Tongtong said.

Wu Yun raised his hand and hugged her, "I'm not old yet, and I haven't reached the point where I can't live without you. When I'm in my forties, my classmates and friends are all worried about their children's high school entrance exams and college entrance exams. You already have peace of mind! Go ahead.

.”

Lin Yutong patted her and said, "Thank you!"

I am the one who is grateful to you! Without you, I would not dare to fall in love, for fear that it would not work out and I would end up old and lonely. I won’t do that now. I have a trump card, so I don’t panic!

Just like that, they prepared a lot of things, drove an off-road vehicle, and the two of them drove all the way northwest.

The first half of the trip was really pleasant. I could see here and there, eat wherever I went, find a unique place to stay, and even drive, so I wasn’t tired at all.

But once I passed through Qin Province, the scenery in my eyes was completely different.

First there are thousands of ravines, and then there is endless desert. Along the road, you can see sparse woods in the distance. There is a high probability that there is a village. If there is a village, there will be a canteen. It doesn’t matter if you add anything else there.

The water needs to be replenished. The only good thing about this place is that you don’t have to look around for the toilet. You can just park the car on the side of the road. Anyway, you may not encounter a vehicle even if you drive for more than ten minutes.

The two of them had eaten in a town three hours ago, and now they came across a village. The village was almost built on both sides of the road. Surrounding the village were patches of Populus euphratica forests. The fourth master slowed down and passed by the village, just to find a place where he could

A place to buy things.

Finally, they saw a signboard with the word "shop" written on it, and the car stopped. The two got out of the car, and the Fourth Master put a sun hat on Tongtong. This hat not only protected the sun, but also blocked the wind.

The sand covered nothing except the eyes.

The fourth master first opened the curtain and went in. It was only a few square meters in area. There were cigarettes on the counter and goods on the shelves behind him. What was there to buy? The fourth master didn't smoke.

Lin Yutong clicked on the whole bundle of mineral water placed in the corner, "Bring us a bundle here."

Everyone wants it, but after I have finished buying it, other people who are in urgent need cannot buy it.

The landlady is an old lady, she doesn't look enthusiastic, and she holds out two fingers.

Lin Yutong handed over twenty.

It's that kind of cheap mineral water, eight cents per bottle, twenty-four bottles in a bundle, almost twenty.

As a result, the landlady didn't answer, she leaned to the side, gave a very impatient expression, and spoke with a strong accent, "Twenty is not enough, two hundred."

Ten times the price!

Lin Yutong was speechless. Thinking about it, it was such a long way and in such a water-scarce place. Two hundred was only two hundred.

The result was good. Fourth Master carried it to the car and opened a bottle before handing it to Tongtong. He was stunned and gave Tongtong other water, "Go to the county town ahead and buy another one."

Tongtong took a look, and it was obvious that the joint of the bottle cap of this water was not processed in a formal way. There is a kind of counterfeit factory that collects waste bottles, cleans them, and then fills them with water and puts a trademark on it. This water should be like this

Planting water! Twenty-four bottles are in a bundle, sealed with opaque plastic. When I bought it, I couldn’t see clearly what was inside. Now that I have opened the package and found out that it is this kind of water, there is nothing you can do about it.

Retreat, so be it.

It took another two hours of driving, passing two villages, and then we arrived at a county town called Zhou County.

From a distance, we can see that there is a little more greenery, and this is it. There should be several reservoirs around here, four or five miles outside the city, and there are still some greenery here and there. As soon as we enter the city,

It doesn’t feel like you’re in a desert anymore. The vegetation and greening here are excellent. The car parked next to a large shopping plaza. Lin Yutong squatted down to see how the greening was done. He understood it at a glance.

The soil was transported from other places, then spread on the original Gobi soil, and then drip irrigation equipment was installed, and then trees and grass were planted.

Except for being small, the county here is similar to the county in the north.

After replenishing supplies, we ate at the Sichuan restaurant downstairs. It tasted like authentic Sichuan food. It showed that living in the city was really not as difficult as I thought.

Starting from this county and walking another fifty kilometers, they will reach their destination, Sucheng.

There is not only the oil industry here, but also the h industry.

It's a pity that when I took the exam for H Industrial Enterprise, I passed the written test and the interview, but in the end I was not admitted. There is nothing wrong with Fourth Master's health. It cannot be because he failed the physical examination. The only possibility is that he failed the political examination.

Even if Jin Yuanzhou is not the biological father, even if he has harmed his original body, after all, because of the long contact time, people have concerns and will not admit him.

Fourth Master has no regrets. Anyway, all of them are quite fresh. Whichever one is recorded is the one.

The car enters Suzhou and we can only stay in a hotel tonight. The problem is that we will have to live here for many years. Where can we live? The houses here are not expensive. The price is four to five thousand, and one set is only enough.

Four to five million. That’s all we have in hand now. This is what’s left after we’ve made profits in the stock market and spent it. We can’t all use it to buy a house!

She asked Fourth Master: "Don't they all have oil communities? Are they divided into houses?"

It can't be said that it's a house allocation, it's just that the internal house price is half cheaper. But when this kind of house will be available, who knows. But if you bought a house by yourself, it won't be your turn to get a house later.

The time for registration was not tight, but it was indeed inconvenient to have a place to eat. After the two of them walked around this prefecture-level city, they inquired about several real estate agencies and learned that their oil communities are not only called oil communities, but also many communities.

The name is similar to the name of an ordinary community, very common, but people around it know that it is an oilfield family home.

The agency lady I found this time was more detailed, "That's from the first factory... That's from the second factory... The innermost one is in the old family courtyard, with a three-story building with water on one side. These are the nearby buildings.

It was built a few years ago and is in good condition. It is simple to decorate and you can live in it without having to clean it up! I just divided a batch of them in the first half of the year... Their internal price is much cheaper. But what can I say? Divide is divided, and the size of the house is different.

It's very big. Some live in large flats of 200 to 300 square meters, and some live in small one-bedroom apartments of 50 to 600 square meters! Those who are assigned to small one-bedroom apartments get angry and say they are bullying others. How can there be such a thing? You can't live in it! Add some money to buy it.

If the others go, this house will be taken care of. It must be cheaper than the market price, and no one has ever lived in it."

This community is the community of Factory No. 4, and Mr. Si was also assigned to Factory No. 4 below.
