Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Chapter 413 I Want to Stay in Qin Family Village Qin Han immediately vetoed the idea, considering his sister-in-law’s temperament.

If his sister-in-law were so petty over such a small matter, how could she possibly devote so much effort to promoting vegetable greenhouses in Qin Family Village?

The 300-watt bulbs illuminated the grain drying yard, brightening up this patch of heaven and earth.

Technician He stood on the platform, his voice explaining the cultivation of vegetables through loudspeakers.

Some villagers, using pencils left over by their children and their unused notebooks, struggled to take notes.

While those who knew barely any characters sat on benches, listening intently with all their focus.

Even the usually gossipy aunties remained quiet and orderly.

They were probably afraid the men would miss something, ready to help remind them if needed.

The children were the happiest ones.

The kids loved this atmosphere, yet they dared not disturb their parents in the crowd.

If they were so careless as to make noise and their parents missed something important, they would not just be scolded when they got home—they would get a sole-and-bottom duet right there and then.

Now, they all hid far away, taking advantage of the light from the grain drying yard to play Square Treasure, jump rope, toss beanbags...

And the mischievous boys squeezed into the crowd to pick up the empty matchboxes discarded by smoking men.

A matchbox could be torn into two prized pieces of paper for these boys.

After the class was over, it had gotten completely dark.

Although it was dark, it was not late—it was only 6:30, just in time to go home for dinner.

Qin Han directly called over Technician He, and the village chief did not leave out the other technicians either.

In the era of the communes, the higher-ups would also send agricultural and forestry technicians to the countryside.

They were mainly responsible for providing scientific farming guidance to the production teams.

These technicians, trained by county-level departments, held a high status in the rural areas.

The village chief was initially worried that the arrival of technicians from the Agricultural Bureau might upset Technician He.

After a day of interaction, he realized he had been too concerned and became even more enthusiastic towards the technicians.

They had come by bicycle and were now ready to head home.

However, Liu Yahong approached the village chief, hoping the village could arrange accommodation for her.

She also looked at the other two, "I think since we’re going down to the grassroots, we should live and eat with the locals and participate in planting the vegetable greenhouses. Only then can we understand and identify problems as they arise, and lay down roots in the grassroots like Technician He..."

She spoke with righteous fervor, immediately putting the others on the spot.

It seemed as if Hu Lichun and Li Jinglin would appear to have a problematic work attitude if they said no.

Hu Lichun didn’t have any problems with this, but Li Jinglin was somewhat reluctant.

"Mr. Liu, I think our situation is different from Technician He’s. Look, we all live in the family quarters of the Agricultural Bureau, and it’s just a few miles from Qin Family Village. Even if we go home to rest, it won’t delay anything."

He only got married last fall, and he hasn’t had enough time with his wife.

"This isn’t just a matter of a few miles. Since we live in Qin Family Village, no matter what problems the vegetable greenhouses may have, we can learn about them in real time. We came here to assist Technician He, and when he needs us, can you ignore the call just because of these few miles?

Of course, if you insist on going home to stay, I won’t force you, but this is my stance. Village chief, I will stay in Qin Family Village and advance or retreat together with the villagers of Qin Family Village. Could you please help me sort out my lodging issue?"

Liu Yahong finished speaking and glanced at He Shuji.

He Shuji was organizing his materials and did not pay attention to the conversation here.

Liu Yahong’s eloquent speech ended up falling on deaf ears. Feeling unsatisfied, she stepped forward and protested, "Technician He, what do you think? I believe that since the county sent us to assist Technician He, we should be tightly knit and always ready to follow Technician He’s command."

Li Jinglin wanted to say something, but when he saw that she had dragged Technician He into the conversation, he had to keep quiet.

He Shuji adjusted his glasses, his tone mild, "I respect your opinions on this matter. If your home is close by, it’s okay to go back. If you want to stay in Qin Family Village, I have no objections. Leave it to the village chief to arrange it. As for the command, the villagers of Qin Family Village are doing very well at the moment, there’s nothing too complicated."

Liu Yahong’s face lit up, "Then it’s settled. I will stay in Qin Family Village and share weal and woe with Technician He. The two of you can do as you please."

Li Jinglin naturally didn’t want to stay in the village, and Hu Lichun had been silent until now but was also reluctant to live in the village.

After all, the Forestry Bureau’s family compound wasn’t far from Qin Family Village, so there really wasn’t a need.

Both expressed their thoughts diplomatically, assuring that it wouldn’t interfere with their work.

The village chief hadn’t expected that some of these technicians would want to stay in the village. After Hu Lichun and Li Jinglin spoke, the village chief indicated no problem, secretly wishing they would all go home.

Wouldn’t staying in the village being so close to home be troublesome?

While inwardly complaining, the village chief realized he’d still have to make arrangements if Liu Yahong really insisted on staying in the village.

Technician He had already packed his things and saw Qin Han and Lin Chuxia waiting for him. He smiled politely, "I’ve kept you waiting, let’s go."

"Wait for me, I’ll go with you."

Liu Yahong called out and hurried to get her bike.

"Today I didn’t bring any luggage, so I’ll trouble Mr. Lin to prepare a new set of toiletries for me. If there’s no new bedding, just clean ones will do. I’m not that picky in this regard. Going to the grassroots, I’m prepared for the harsh conditions and able to overcome them..."

She walked ahead only to find that no one was following her.

The village chief was rendered speechless by Liu Yahong’s dramatics.

He hadn’t even made arrangements yet, and how did she already latch onto Lin?

Chapter 204 Special - Part 2 Seeing Lin Chuxia’s expression, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Technician Liu, you don’t need to go with them. Later, you can just follow me. You can stay at my house for the time being, in the same room as my daughter."

Liu Yahong turned to look sharply, "Aren’t I staying at the Qin Family’s? I heard that Technician He is staying at the Qin Family’s."

The village chief thought to himself, Technician He was personally invited by Lin, and Lin arranged for him to stay at the Qin Family’s place, with the Qin Family people personally looking after him to ensure he wasn’t inconvenienced.

Who do you think you are?

Though that’s what he thought inside, he still kept a smile on his face, "The Qin Family has already arranged for one person, it would probably be difficult for them to take care of another."

Liu Yahong spoke nonchalantly, "I’m an adult, and as a female comrade, what care do I need? I may as well stay at the Qin Family’s too. That way, if there are any technical issues, it would be easier to communicate with Technician He. If the Qin Family people are overburdened, I can also help take care of Technician He’s daily life. After all, Technician He came to us in An City from the capital, and as Ancheng people, we must extend our local hospitality."

He Shuji frowned slightly. His life at the Qin Family’s was very good, Aunt Qin took good care of his meals, and as for the rest, he had hands and feet, who needed others to take care of him?

Especially since the other party was a woman.

But this was someone else’s turf, and if the village really arranged for Liu Yahong to stay at the Qin Family’s, he didn’t have a reason to refuse.
