Yao Hua pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The director asked him to finish the work at hand first and set the time to go to the countryside in two months.
Colleagues heard the news that Yao Hua was going to the countryside to become an educated youth, and they started talking about it, "It's really strange. It was already announced on the list that Yao Hua was going to go abroad. Why did he suddenly change it to go to the countryside? Did he make a mistake?"
"I don't know. He doesn't seem to have made any mistakes recently."
"The section chief also praised him in the morning that he had made progress in the direction of organic synthetic pesticides he was researching."
While everyone was whispering, someone noticed Yao Hua walking into the office and reminded him anxiously: "Stop talking!"
The people in the same office greeted him awkwardly, then winked at each other, and stepped forward to comfort him, saying that this opportunity for further study had been missed and there would be another time, and also mentioned the arrangement of going to the countryside. If he went to find the director
Let's talk, maybe we can avoid it.
"Yes, Yao Hua, how can anyone let working people go to the countryside? Educated youths are all students who have not participated in the work. This arrangement is really incomprehensible. And you are so good at work, why should you be allowed to work?"
Going to the countryside?"
Before the other party could continue to complain, Yao Hua asked: "Isn't it bad to go to the countryside?"
"Ah? It's not bad, but I think it's too much of a waste of your talent. Only people with hands and feet can do this kind of field work, but your job is not something ordinary people can do..."
"I proposed the development of organic synthetic pesticides to help farmers solve the problem of crop diseases and insect pests and increase the yield of rice crops. Going to the countryside just allows me to get close to them. I think it is good."
After Yao Hua finished speaking, a group of people who were still in a daze couldn't help but applaud, praising him for his high ideological consciousness.
In the next two months, although he didn't seem to have changed much from before, and his face still didn't have much expression, colleagues felt that he had changed somewhere, that he didn't feel so distant from others.
In the past, he could answer in one word but not two. Now when someone asks him a question, he will answer it very patiently, making everyone feel flattered for a moment.
Two months later, Yao Hua boarded the train.
The first time he and Jin Bao took a train appeared in his mind.
At that time, there was a strange smell in the air. He was afraid that Jin Bao would feel uncomfortable, so he would spray some perfume into the air after a while. It was really stupid to think about it...
But as long as it makes Jin Bao happy, he can do anything.
The weather in Bao'an County in November is comfortable, neither cold nor hot, so wearing a long-sleeved shirt is just right.
Hearing the announcement on the train that "Bao'an County has arrived", Yao Hua's heart beat violently, thinking that he was very close to Jinbao.
After getting off the green train, he carried his suitcase and met Luo Zhongqiang who came to pick him up before he reached the exit.
After getting to know the Su family, Luo Zhongqiang deliberately practiced speaking Mandarin. Now his accent is much more standard than before. When he saw the same person as in the file photo, he walked forward anxiously and asked: "Is that Comrade Yao Hua?"
When he picked up educated youths in the past, he always referred to them as "classmates," but this time he referred to them as "comrades."
According to his father, this Yao Hua has an unusual status and is a key training target from his superiors. His superiors wrote to him specifically, saying that Yao Hua went to the countryside this time to learn the hard-working spirit of fellow farmers, but he could not live a life that was too hard.
You have to do it appropriately for him.
"Isn't this contradictory?" Luo Zhongqiang asked curiously, "He said that he would learn the spirit of hard work and hard work from us, and he also said that he could not be assigned too hard work, so how is he going to learn to work hard?"
His father smiled and said: "We just have to arrange work for him, but we can't tire him out. He is from a scientific research institute. He is different from those young guys and girls who just came out of school. He has been working for two years at a young age."
It’s New Year.”
"A scientific research institute?" When Luo Zhongqiang heard this, he was filled with admiration and felt that this person named Yao Hua was indeed quite powerful.
Now when he arrived at the train station and saw Yao Hua in person, he couldn't help but stare at him for a long time.
There is something different about highly educated and educated people. Their temperament shows that they are at a high level.
Luo Zhongqiang felt that he had only experienced this kind of temperament in Su Wenian, the so-called...bookish temperament.
"Shall I help you pick up your suitcase?" With a simple smile on his face, he reached out to help pick up the suitcase.
Yao Hua avoided his hand without leaving a trace, with a slight smile on her lips, polite but distant, "Thank you, no need."
Luo Zhongqiang's hand stretched out in the air seemed very embarrassed and he quickly retracted it, "I'll take you to the car."
As they sat in the car, Luo Zhongqiang kept talking, saying that among the surrounding villages, only Luohu Village had a dormitory for educated youths. His father had already asked someone to help clean his room, and he took him there after entering the village.
Yao Hua didn't pay attention to what he said and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Has Jin Bao been living here all these years?
How is she doing?
Thinking of the scenery in front of him, which Jin Bao had also seen, Yao Hua felt his heart beat faster.
During this period, the car bumped for a while. Luo Zhongqiang said: "This dirt road is uneven, but it will be there soon, so please bear with it."
"You know..." He slowly looked away from the window and hesitated for a long time, as if he was afraid that his hope would be disappointed. Yao Hua paused for a long time, so long that Luo Zhongqiang was ready to ask "what do you know?" before he
He pursed his lips and continued to ask, "Do you know a family named Su? They moved to Luohu Village in 1968."
"Su?" Luo Zhongqiang was stunned, "You mean Lao Su? Su Jianmin's family?"
Yao Hua's calm and cold eyes flashed with an almost twinkling light, "Yes, do you know them?"
"We know each other. On the first day they came here, I happened to come back in the same car as them. I took them to the house they live in now. Not only me, but my dad also has a very good relationship with them...
We heard before that you were from Jinghai City, so we thought it was a coincidence. We didn’t expect that you actually know each other."
Yao Hua nodded and did not mention Jin Bao. He only said, "My parents have a very close relationship with Uncle Su and Aunt Bai."
"Oh, it turns out they are acquaintances!" Luo Zhongqiang said eloquently, "The Su family all have good personalities. People in our village attach great importance to surnames. In the past, they were more repulsive to those with foreign surnames. At first, I was worried that the Su family would not be able to stay for long, but unexpectedly
Now they have been fully integrated, and we all regard them as our own people in the village."
After that, he talked about Su Jianmin's pig raising, saying that he was the director of a machinery factory but was an expert at raising pigs. Now every household in the village raises pigs and makes money based on the price difference at the end of the year. The old Su's pigs are sold every year in the village.
The biggest and heaviest.
"Although the Su family does not work in the production team, they make a lot of money raising pigs, chickens and ducks, and their life is pretty good..."
While Luo Zhongqiang was chattering, Yao Hua couldn't help but interrupt: "Where is Jin Bao? How is she doing?"
