A powerful country in scientific research

He Cheng saw that the captain had finally left, and hurriedly asked: "Xu Kai wrote to me a few days ago and told me about your family's problems. Has it been resolved?"

Su Ran smiled and said, "I'm standing here fine, what can happen? My parents are divorced, his affairs can't affect us."

He Cheng nodded. In fact, he wanted to ask if anyone was causing trouble for them, but seeing that Su Ran didn't seem to want to talk more, he could only bear it. When he had time, he would go to the county town to call his uncle and get the matter cleared up.

Su Ran was relieved to see that He Cheng stopped asking questions. There was really no need to hide the relationship between her and He Cheng, but she was too embarrassed to say that the number one leader gave her calligraphy. There was no reason to brag about it. She, Su Ran, was not that thick-skinned.

The two chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, He Cheng said goodbye to Su Ran and returned to the oil press factory. He was afraid that Wang Kaixuan could not handle it, so he decided to go back and check on him. He felt more at ease knowing that Su Ran was fine.

He Cheng returned to the oil press factory with a smile on his face. Everyone in the factory was surprised to see his smile.

Wang Kaixuan looked very interested. He came over and asked, "He Cheng, what good news is this that makes you so happy?"

He Cheng raised his hand and touched the corner of his lips. He actually smiled like this all the way... As expected, when he met Su Ran, he became unlike himself.

He Cheng, who didn't want others to notice anything unusual, cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "I met a friend."

Wang Kaixuan raised the corners of his lips and jokingly said, "Could it be a lesbian?"

He Cheng didn't say anything, but his slightly red face betrayed him.

Wang Kaixuan clicked his tongue twice, he didn't know who made this big iceberg laugh like that, he really valued women over friendship, once in front of him he became a cool and aloof male god again.

Li Qingyu, who was eavesdropping outside the window, had a gloomy face. When He Cheng came back just now, she felt something was wrong. How could He Cheng, who liked to disguise himself, show his emotions in front of others like this? So she followed him over to eavesdrop to see what was going on. After finding out, she felt even more uncomfortable. In his previous life, He Cheng was single until she died and had never been married. Why was he so happy because of a woman now? Who was that woman? Was she another female educated youth? Or was she the daughter of the brigade accountant?

Li Qingyu's eyes were full of viciousness. No matter who it was, she would not let this person take He Cheng away. The wife of the richest man could only be her!

After He Cheng left, Su Ran walked around the experimental field and looked at the condition of the land. Although the land was not fertile, it was still okay and could be restored to normal with a little bit of rescue.

After planning the land in her mind, Su Ran entered the house next door. Captain Li had just given her the key before he left. The work would officially begin tomorrow, so she had to see if she needed to clean up inside.

Su Ran was fully prepared, but was still shocked when he came in. The paper-covered windows, the freshly painted window frames and doors showed that they had been repaired, but the bumpy mud floor, the cracked walls, and the stale smell in the room all revealed how dilapidated it once was.

She touched the table with her hand and, not surprisingly, felt dust. Su Ran sighed in her heart and decided to bring some tools to clean it tomorrow.

Su Ran walked around the house and arranged the use of each room.

Of the rooms on the north side, the innermost one has good lighting and a large area, which is perfect for her laboratory. The one next to it is slightly smaller and can be used as an office for her assistants. The room further to the side allows them to rest at any time.

The room on the west is used as the kitchen, and the room on the east is used to store pig feed and high-potency fertilizers. There is enough space there to store more.

She was thinking and basking in the sun in the yard when suddenly, she heard voices coming from the door.

Su Ran was surprised. Was he coming to see her?

She opened the door and saw two girls standing there, one with fair skin and a pretty face, and the other with wheat-colored skin and ordinary facial features, but she looked very healthy and energetic.

The two people were looking at her with smiles on their faces.

Su Ran smiled faintly and said, "What do you want?"

The tanned girl said, "Hello, Comrade Su. I'm the captain's daughter. My name is Li Yun, and this is my good sister Zhang Qingqing. My dad asked us to come and help you clean up the house."

Su Ran was surprised at the captain's thoughtfulness. He was indeed a leader. She did not reject his kindness and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."

Li Yun shook her head. "No trouble, no trouble."

Li Yun and Zhang Qingqing were busy wiping the table and sweeping the floor, respectively. Su Ran picked up another rag and started wiping the windowsill.

Zhang Qingqing looked at her face, thoughtfully.

Li Yun didn't know her best friend was daydreaming. She looked at Su Ran with starry eyes and said, "Comrade Su, how long will you stay in our team?"

Before Su Ran came, Li Yun heard from her father that an expert would be joining the team and asked her to learn from him. She didn't expect that this expert would be so young and looked only a few years older than her. It would be great if she could be as good as him!

Su Ran: "At least half a year, more than that may not be certain."

Li Yun's eyes lit up. It's been so long.

The three of them worked while talking, and soon the old house was completely renovated. Su Ran looked at the fruits of everyone's labor with satisfaction, then turned to thank the two girls, "Comrade Li, Comrade Zhang, thank you so much today. I'll treat you to a meal in a few days when I finish buying new things."

Li Yun nodded. She was not in the habit of eating at other people's homes, but this was a great opportunity to get close to the great god, and she didn't want to miss it.

Zhang Qingqing didn't refuse, so the dinner was arranged. There was nothing else to do, so Li Yun chatted with Su Ran for a few more words and then left with her good sister.

Su Ran looked at the watch on her wrist. She bought it in the department store before coming here. The salary from the machinery factory plus the government reward for handing over tissue fluid was enough to buy this watch.

It was almost six o'clock, and the people in the team were probably going to get off work, so it was time for her to go back too.

While locking the door, Su Ran was thinking about whether she should tell He Cheng before she left. Unexpectedly, just after she left for a while, she saw He Cheng running towards her.

He Cheng stopped beside her, panting, and said with a gasp: "It's a good thing you didn't leave."

Su Ran: "Why are you here?"

He Cheng: "I came to see you off. This is your first time here and you are unfamiliar with the place. I am afraid it will be unsafe for you to go back."

Su Ran curled her lips, "Okay, since you want to send me home, just send me home. It's just right for us to have a meal at my house. My grandma and grandpa know that I have a friend who is an educated youth here, and they have always wanted to meet you."

He Cheng's heart was pounding. Meeting the elders now? He was a little nervous.

He said dryly, "It's not appropriate. I didn't buy anything. It's not a good idea to just come here like this."

Su Ran: "What's the big deal? My grandma and grandpa are not picky people. Let's go. My grandma cooks delicious food."

He Cheng swallowed and walked side by side with Su Ran towards the Jiangshui Brigade.

After walking for about half an hour, the two arrived at Grandpa Jiang's house. Grandma Jiang was cooking at this time, and Grandpa Jiang was listening to opera on the radio in the yard, humming a few words from time to time.
