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

Chapter 26 Marry a man and forget your mother

That evening, around 7: to :, the sky was already covered with dark clouds.

And the clouds are very low.

There were also lightning and thunder.

It's about to rain.

When Li Jieshi saw that the situation was not good, he quickly asked all the members to go to the drying yard to pile the wheat that was spread out to dry into stacks and cover them with plastic sheets.

A little after 7 o'clock in the evening, the wind started to pick up.

Raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound.

Li Jieshi sat under a hut built in the drying yard. He looked at the heavy raindrops and cursed, "Special brew! Didn't they say it would rain tomorrow?"

"It's so late at night, and it's already raining at just after 7 o'clock?"

Li Gang wiped the rain off his face, grinned and said, "Is the weather forecast ever accurate?"

“Summer rain is impossible to predict.”

"Fortunately, our wheat has been harvested and pulled to the drying yard and covered."

Li Jieshi said: "Thanks to Haoran!"

"Otherwise, our team will lose a lot of harvest."

Li Gang said: "It's almost time to settle the work points. I think Haoran should be given more work points in the first half of the year."

Li Jieshi said: "You are right!"

"Haoran has made such a great contribution to our village, he deserves more work points! I believe other members will not object."

As they talked, the rain was getting heavier.

Wang Haoran returned to the educated youth point at around 7:10 p.m.

When he reached the village entrance, raindrops as big as beans were already falling.

He hurried as fast as he could and finally arrived at the gate of the educated youth site. It was raining heavily.

However, Wang Haoran was wearing a raincoat, so he was not afraid of getting wet in the rain.

He saw Xiao Lijuan running towards him hurriedly with an umbrella in her hand.

Seeing Wang Haoran, she smiled and took two quick steps forward, saying, "Haoran, you're finally back."

"I said I would pick you up at the entrance of the village."

Wang Haoran said, "Don't answer it next time. It's raining so hard, and there's lightning and thunder. It could be dangerous."

Xiao Lijuan said: "But, I'm worried about you!"

The two returned home holding hands.

Xiao Lijuan has already prepared the meal.

Because of the supply from the dimensional space, their food standards are quite good.

The two sat down and talked while eating.

"This afternoon, many people in the village sent us things. Some sent us vegetables, some sent us eggs, and some sent us apricots. In short, they sent us a lot of things!" said Xiao Lijuan.

Wang Haoran said: "The villagers are too polite. I just did a little thing within my ability."

Xiao Lijuan smiled and said, "You think it's a small matter, but look at the rain. If it weren't for you, more than half of the wheat in Licai Brigade would not be harvested! That's the food ration for the whole brigade, and we still have to pay the public grain!"

"Haoran, I really admire you. What's wrong with your brain?"

“So many good things can be invented.”

Wang Haoran could only smile and say nothing.

After a while, Xiao Lijuan said, "Haoran, my mother kept telling me last night that she hopes I can go home and concentrate on studying, so that they can help me better. They said that I have neglected my studies for too long and I need to make up for it." Wang Haoran smiled and asked, "What did you tell them?"

Xiao Lijuan said: "Of course I refused without hesitation! I said you were already giving me counselling and the results were very good."

"In the end, they didn't believe it. My dad even gave me some high school math problems to test me. He calculated them all for me."

"My dad was stunned at the time. He never dreamed that you, who also graduated from junior high school, could learn math, physics and chemistry so well by self-study."

Wang Haoran said: "Your parents want you to stay with them. They are old now."

Xiao Lijuan sighed and said, "Alas! I know what they mean. But I can't bear to leave you! When I think about parting with you, my heart aches like a knife."

Wang Haoran stretched out his hand and scratched her little nose and said, "People say that magpies have long tails and forget their mothers after marrying a man. It seems to be true, haha!"

Xiao Lijuan twisted her body and said, "You tampered with the words, didn't you..."

She didn't finish her words, and suddenly she thought of something. She quickly said to Wang Haoran, "Haoran, I'm sorry. I always poke your wounds."

It turned out that she was thinking of Wang Haoran's life experience of both parents being orphaned.

Wang Haoran said, "It's okay. Lijuan, in a few days, we will go to your home to visit your parents."

Xiao Lijuan happily agreed.

……

The next day, Xiao Renming reported to the Department of Radio Electronics and officially started working.

Not only did Xiao Renming officially resume his work, he also became the deputy director of the Department of Electronics.

The Department of Radio Electronics at Peking University held a welcome party for Xiao Renming.

At the meeting, everyone was talking at once, and everyone was filled with emotion.

Today’s Peking University is riddled with holes. Although the lost talents are gradually returning, the workers, peasants and soldiers currently on campus are a bit worrying.

Because the quality of these students who come to school through recommendation varies greatly, and particularly outstanding students are rare.

An excellent university must have outstanding students in order to cultivate outstanding top talents.

Nowadays, the country is in urgent need of a large number of outstanding talents.

The teachers were talking about it, and someone mentioned Wang Haoran, who has been widely reported by major media recently.

A teacher said that Wang Haoran, who graduated from junior high school, could design and develop complex mechanical equipment, which shows that he is a rare top-notch genius. Such a genius should be recruited to Peking University as soon as possible.

Some teachers also said that Peking University now has the right to recruit students on its own, and Wang Haoran is a descendant of a martyr, which meets the policy of special recruitment. Therefore, if the school does not seize the time to do this, the Department of Electronics should try to find this young man.

In short, these teachers all hope to bring Wang Haoran to Peking University.

Xiao Renming sat aside and listened to his colleagues talking about his son-in-law. He felt very happy inside.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, he thought it would be better for him not to express his opinions.

But at this time, the department head Li Baoping suddenly asked Xiao Renming: "Teacher Xiao, your daughter's name is Xiao Lijuan, right?"

Xiao Renming nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Baoping asked again: "So, is she working in the Licai Brigade in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Xiao Renming was a little surprised: "Director Li, how did you know that?"

Li Baoping laughed and said, "Haha! Wang Haoran is Teacher Xiao's son-in-law!"

The teachers at the meeting were all surprised. Li Baoping then produced his own evidence: a report from Beijing Youth Daily, which described the love story of Wang Haoran and Xiao Lijuan who supported each other.

The teachers immediately became envious and jealous.

A teacher congratulated Xiao Renming with a smile and said, Xiao Renming, this is a double happiness!
There was also a teacher who half-jokingly told Xiao Renming that he hoped he could play a role and do Wang Haoran's work so that he could study at Peking University, preferably in the Department of Electronics.

On this day, Xiao Renming felt a little dizzy. He had just returned to work and did not expect that he would receive so much attention because of his daughter's boyfriend.
