There is a small river next to Houling Village. Qin Hai drove his car and took his two sisters to the riverside. He stopped the car by the water and then directed the two sisters to carry water to wash the car.
Old-fashioned jeeps are actually quite sturdy. When washing the car, the driver usually pulls the water pipe directly towards the car to wash it. There is no need to worry about any problems caused by water getting in somewhere. The summer in the south is hot, so after washing the seat covers in the car,
It will dry completely after leaving it for half a day and will not affect its use.
Qin Shan and Qin Ling were a little timid about washing the car at first, fearing that something was not done right and the car would be damaged. After washing for a while under the command of their brother, the two girls became bolder.
, began to water the car pot by pot, as happy as celebrating the Water Splashing Festival.
"Brother, when did you learn to drive?" Qin Ling asked Qin Hai while jumping around washing the car.
"I learned it in a technical school." Qin Hai said.
"Then are you driving for your factory director now?"
"No, this car is specially allocated to me and is only for my use."
"Why, you are not a cadre!"
"I will be a cadre soon."
"Really? Brother, how big a cadre are you?"
"Well... at least he's older than Secretary Huang."
"Brother, is Secretary Huang a little afraid of you?" Qin Shan, who has a shy personality, also joined the conversation.
Qin Hai nodded: "To be precise, his son is a little afraid of me. If he dares to mess around, I will find someone to take care of his son."
"Then... can you go back to what they said today?" Qin Shan asked timidly.
Qin Haidao: "Of course I can turn it back. I'm just kidding. My sister is going to college. How could she marry such a country bumpkin?"
"Brother, can I really go to college?" Qin Shan asked with her eyes shining.
Qin Haidao: "Of course I can get in. How are your grades now?"
"Ranked third in the class and top 20 in grade." Qin Shan said.
Qin Hai knew that Qin Shan went to a high school in the town, and the teaching quality was very average. Only one or two people could pass the undergraduate examination every year. Including junior colleges and technical secondary schools, there were less than 20 people in total. Qin Shan was ranked in the top 20
level, which is at a level that would barely even go to a technical secondary school.
"If you want to go to college, these grades are not enough." Qin Hai reminded.
Qin Shan said seriously: "I'm working hard to get into the top 10 next semester, so I can hope to get into a junior college. Brother, if I get into a junior college, can you get your family to agree to my study?
?”
"No problem!" Qin Hai agreed categorically, "However, it's not enough for you to get into a junior college. I hope you can get into the key ones. Don't worry, no matter what school you get into, you don't need to be supported by your family.
I can afford you."
"Really? Thank you, brother." Qin Shan said with a smile.
In rural areas, very few girls can go to high school, and even fewer can go to college. Qin Minghua is a relatively liberal parent. Although the family is financially strapped, he still insists on letting his daughter go to high school. However,
Qin Shan was not sure whether her family would be able to support her after she was admitted to a junior college. Seeing that her brother had the ability to drive a jeep back this time, she pinned her hopes of going to school on him. After hearing that her brother
She was given a huge package and said that she could support herself in school, which made her feel like a stone fell to the ground.
"Xiaoling, where are you?" Qin Hai turned his attention to Qin Ling, who was in junior high school.
Qin Ling shook her head desperately, flicking her braid on the back of her head and said, "I don't want to go to college."
"Then what do you want to do?" Qin Hai asked.
"I want to act in a movie." Qin Ling replied.
"..." Qin Hai was speechless. He looked at Qin Ling carefully and found that his sister was indeed quite beautiful. If she dressed up well, she would not be inferior to several popular actresses nowadays. In his previous life, he was a
The scientist has always been quite disdainful of the literary and artistic circles. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he heard that his younger sister's dream was to act in movies.
"What's so good about acting in a movie?" Qin Hai muttered.
"It's great to be in a movie. You can play everywhere. And it's famous. It can be printed on the wall calendar and posted in every house." Qin Ling said longingly.
"Uh, okay." Qin Hai decided not to discuss this issue with Qin Ling. The 14-year-old girl was in the period of youth rebellion, so it would be redundant to say anything to her.
After washing the car, it was completely dark. The two sisters were so interested that they asked their brother to drive them around the town for a short while before returning home.
Dinner has been served at home, and grandma, father and mother are waiting for the three siblings. Looking at Qin Shan, Qin Ling walked in happily. Qin Minghua, who originally planned to lecture everyone with a straight face, also softened his heart, but just pretended
He said angrily: "Aren't you hungry? Can you wash your fill even if you wash the car?"
"You'll be full in the car!" Qin Ling, who was deeply loved by her father, said naughtily in return, and naturally received a symbolic slap from her father.
"Xiao Hai, I heard you drove back in a car?" Grandma, who was nearly seventy years old, pulled Qin Hai and asked.
"Yes, mother-in-law." Qin Hai used Anhe's habit of calling grandma this way.
"Aren't cars expensive?" Grandma asked again.
Qin Hai scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, it's very expensive. Our family's combined property is not worth the price of a car."
"Ah? It's so expensive!" Grandma was a little shocked, "What if you leave it outside and let thieves steal it? No, you eat, and I'll watch over it..."
Qin Hai, dumbfounded, pulled his grandma back and explained it for a long time. Only then did grandma feel relieved and the family began to eat.
"Xiaohai, what you said today has offended Secretary Huang. He won't do anything to our family, right?" Mother Zong Huiying said worriedly while eating.
"No, my brother has become a cadre, a bigger cadre than Secretary Huang." It was Qin Ling who rushed to interrupt again. This was the specialty of the youngest. No one would blame her no matter how much trouble she made.
"Are you really a cadre? Is what your father said true?" Zong Huiying glanced at Qin Minghua and confirmed to Qin Hai. When the three brothers and sisters went out to wash the car just now, Qin Minghua had already told Zong Hui what Qin Hai said.
Ying relayed it, but Zong Huiying couldn't believe it, that her eldest son, who was a good student but not very emotional, could actually create an identity that even Huang Zhangcai was afraid of.
Qin Hai knew that there were some things that needed to be explained clearly to his family in advance, and when he came back this time, he was here to seek help. He thought about his words for a while, and then said: "Let me tell you, there are some things that are good for the family to know."
Now, don’t go out and say it, especially Qin Ling!”
"I won't talk nonsense, I won't talk nonsense." Qin Ling quickly declared solemnly.
"The thing is like this..." Qin Hai then selectively reported to his family about his acquaintance with Ge Dongyan, his participation in the army's scientific research projects, and his cooperation agreement with Yue Guoyang. As for his technical problems, he completely attributed them to his time in technical school.
He studied hard, and his family had no idea about the difficulty of these techniques. When Qin Hai said it so confidently, everyone believed it.
"My next step is this: I want my father to go to Pingyuan to help me. I plan to run a small steel factory with a few colleagues in the factory, but we are all state-owned enterprises and cannot run a business.
, I want my father to be the director of the factory." Qin Hai threw the first stone.
As soon as the stone was thrown, it created a shocking wave. Qin Shan and Qin Ling both started making noises and rushed to congratulate their father on his promotion. Qin Minghua was at a loss for a while, and his heart was filled with shock, worry, joy, impulse and other emotions.
Zong Huiying's thinking mode is extremely simple. When she heard this, she immediately raised her hands to object: "No, no, how can your father be the director of the factory? How much does it cost to run a steel factory? What if you lose money?"
Qin Minghua interrupted his wife impatiently and said, "Huiying, what are you in a hurry? Let Xiaohai finish."
"You don't really want to be the factory director, do you?" Zong Huiying looked at Qin Minghua with surprise in her eyes.
"I'm going to help Xiao Hai... it doesn't matter whether I'm the factory director or not." Qin Minghua said in a covert manner.
Qin Minghua was a junior high school student in the 1960s. He had some lofty ideals when he was young. Unfortunately, his beautiful ideals were no match for the evil reality. In the end, he could only stay in the countryside and become an ordinary farmer. When Qin Hai came back this time, he was full of enthusiasm in every move he made.
It showed an extraordinary aura, and he couldn't help but awaken the long-lost passion in his heart. When he heard Qin Hai said that he wanted to be the director of the factory, and asked him to become the director of the factory, he was as worried as Zong Huiying.
, but that impulse is irresistible.
"Mom, don't worry, I do things in a measured way." Qin Hai said to Zong Huiying, "I am running this factory in name, but I am cooperating with the Provincial Military Region, which is Huang Zheng's unit. We do
Our business is to provide equipment for the troops, it is an absolutely serious business, you don’t have to worry at all.”
"Is that so?" Zong Huiying was speechless. She didn't understand the twists and turns involved. Her son was so sure that she couldn't find a reason to refute it.
"Xiaohai, don't be anxious about this matter. Let me go over to check the situation and help you check it. We can do legal business. Although your father has no education, at least he will not be deceived by others. We can also
If you don't seek to make too much money, being able to do something for the army can be regarded as a contribution to the country, right?" Qin Minghua began to get into the role. In his heart, he really thought that he was more suitable to manage a family than his son.
Business people.
"Okay, dad, I feel relieved if you say this." Qin Hai chuckled and said, "Don't be anxious, everyone. If this factory is started, I dare not say that it will earn tens of thousands of yuan within a year.
Money is not a problem. When the time comes, our whole family will go to Pingyuan to buy a house. I will find a way to get Xiaoshan and Xiaoling to study in Pingyuan Middle School, and we will all become city dwellers."
"good!"
Before Qin Minghua and his wife could say anything, Qin Shan and Qin Ling had already shouted "Hello" together.
