The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 22 The Arrival of Parents-in-Law

When talking about her daughter, Lin Yaling's eyes turned red.

"My daughter has suffered a lot in the past few years. I don't know what she is like now."

"Old Xiao, I want to go see my daughter."

Xiao Renming sighed and said, "Then let's go there tomorrow."

The two talked and returned home.

"Old Xiao, we have to hurry up and arrange for our daughter to return to the city. It doesn't matter if she just came back and doesn't have a job. I can't let her stay in the countryside any longer."

Xiao Renming said: "I think so too."

“But we can’t fight against the policy.”

"Well, I heard that the university admission method has changed this year, and the college entrance examination may be restored. It would be better for us to let our daughter come back in a formal way. What do you think?"

Lin Yaling nodded and said, "Okay. But no one knows what the situation will be like this year."

“Now, everyone is arguing.”

"But no matter what, we have to prepare her in advance."

Lin Yaling went to cook.

Xiao Renming picked up the newspaper his wife brought back from work and started reading.

He reads the People's Daily.

Xiao Renming saw a news report from the Licai Brigade on page 3 of the newspaper.

Li Caicun Brigade produced a talented educated youth named Wang Haoran. He was self-taught and was able to develop complex mechanical equipment. He has successively developed large-scale bending machines, complete sets of casting equipment, etc.

After reading the report, Xiao Renming thought to himself, I can't believe that the village where my daughter worked in the countryside could produce such a person.

Wang Haoran is an amazing kid.

Hmm! This child is actually an orphan.

This is even more rare.

Xiao Renming thought that when he returned to the Licai Brigade, he would also meet Wang Haoran and give him some encouragement and support.

As he was thinking this, his wife came out from the kitchenette.

When Lin Yaling saw her husband reading the newspaper, she asked, "Did you see the news on page 3?"

"I didn't expect that a famous person would emerge from the educated youth center where my daughter worked."

Xiao Renming said: "I have seen the news. This child makes people feel pity for him."

"My daughter didn't seem to have mentioned Wang Haoran in her previous letters."

Lin Yaling said: "She was very quiet and didn't talk to anyone there. She didn't make any friends."

"It's normal that you didn't mention it."

"Old Xiao, I was thinking, we don't have a son either, it would be nice if we could adopt him as our godson. That child is so sensible, we should help him and let him have the care and warmth of his family."

Xiao Renming smiled and said, "Let's not be so self-indulgent."

"I am very prosperous now!"

"They have become role models for young people, and their future is limitless. Why should we join in the fun?"

Lin Yaling thought so too.

Although Wang Haoran's parents were both dead, his life was a bit tragic.

But he is quite successful now.

They are all reported in the People's Daily.

Moreover, mechanical talents are in short supply, and his future prospects are limitless.

"I didn't think much about it. You are right." Lin Yaling said.

The next day, Xiao Renming and Lin Yaling took a long-distance bus straight to Pingu County.

After arriving in Pingu County, they had to take a bus to Mafang Commune.

But after arriving at Mafang Commune, the only way to get to Licai Brigade was on foot.

Traveling is really inconvenient in this era.

It was not until after one o'clock in the afternoon that the couple finally arrived at the Li Cai Brigade.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they happened to meet Li Gang, the captain of the third team of Li Cai Brigade.

Seeing that they looked exhausted after traveling all the way, Li Gang asked them who they were and what they were doing in Licai Brigade. Xiao Renming then revealed his identity, saying that he was Xiao Lijuan's father and that he had come to visit his daughter.

He even took out a letter of introduction issued by his unit.

When Li Gang heard that the other party was Xiao Lijuan's father, he immediately became enthusiastic.

He said to Xiao Renming and his wife, "I'll take you to the educated youth site."

He took them to the educated youth site.

Xiao Lijuan never dreamed that her parents would suddenly come to visit her.

When they arrived, Xiao Lijuan was reading a book in the room.

When Xiao Lijuan saw her parents appear in front of her, she thought she was hallucinating.

She rubbed her eyes and wanted to confirm, but Lin Yaling had already rushed over and hugged her daughter, tears streaming down her face.

"Juanjuan, you've become thinner and darker. You must have suffered a lot, right?"

Only then did Xiao Lijuan confirm that the people standing in front of her were her parents.

"Mom, I haven't suffered much. People here are very nice to me."

Xiao Lijuan said this, but she was also crying.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while before they calmed down.

Then they began to ask each other about their situation.

At this time, Xiao Lijuan had not told her parents about her marriage.

She communicates with her parents basically once a month.

She also didn't know that both of her parents had now returned to work.

When Xiao Lijuan learned that her parents' historical problems had been resolved, she was very happy.

Because it means that the heavy historical burden can be unloaded. She should have no problem applying for university.

"Juanjuan, what book are you reading?" Xiao Renming asked, looking at the book on Xiao Lijuan's small table.

Xiao Lijuan said: "Dad, I heard from a friend that the college entrance examination may be resumed this year. I am reviewing my lessons and preparing for the exam."

Xiao Renming asked in surprise: "You actually heard the wind?"

Xiao Lijuan said: "Yes, but this matter should still be uncertain, right?"

Xiao Renming said: "This year, it is possible to restore the college entrance examination system."

“However, the policy has not yet been finalized.”

"Who told you that the college entrance examination might be resumed this year?"

Xiao Lijuan felt a little embarrassed.

Wang Haoran told her the news.

Therefore, she had to tell her parents that she was married to Wang Haoran.

There is nothing to hide.

Even if her parents don't support her, she must get married!
She said, "Dad, Mom, I have news for you."

"Well, I'm married."

Lin Yaling was shocked: "What?"

"How can you get married without discussing it with us?"

"Who is the other party?"

"If you marry a farmer, it means you'll be settled in the countryside, and that's the end of you!"

Xiao Renming was naturally very nervous, but he had to show magnanimity: "Lao Lin, it's okay even if you marry a farmer. There is no distinction between high and low occupations."

“As long as the person is good, there is no problem.”

Xiao Lijuan said: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, he is a very nice person, and he is also very nice to me. Um, his name is..."

Before she finished her words, Wang Haoran's voice came from outside the door: "Lijuan, I heard that my parents are here?"

Wang Haoran had finished his work for Pingu Machinery Factory and had returned to Mafang Machinery Factory. He saw the members busy harvesting wheat, very busy and exhausted.

Harvesting entirely by manpower is really too inefficient.

Wang Haoran wanted to develop a wheat harvester driven by a tractor.
