Bringing space back to the 1970s to develop rural areas

Perhaps because of Zhang Guochang's encouragement and affirmation, Tang Danni began to regain her former hardworking spirit.

Only then did Yang Qingdai nod with satisfaction.

There were still ten days left before the college entrance examination, and Yang Ziling also returned.

I haven't seen Yang Ziling for nearly a year. He has grown a lot taller, is darker and thinner, but his big, twinkling eyes are still as bright and lively as ever.

Not only Yang Qingdai felt distressed, but Tang Danni also felt pity. She rushed to the village committee office and called Zhang Guochang's unit, asking him to buy fish and meat and come to Qingshan Brigade after get off work.

He hurriedly greeted everyone, reluctantly putting down the large backpack behind him, pushed Yang Qingdai into the room, and locked the door to prevent anyone from coming in.

"Sister, here's a gift for you."

Yang Ziling opened his backpack and took out the things inside one by one.

Yang Qingdai:!!!

If this happened in later times, sewing machines would smoke from being stepped on.

Faded musical instruments, gold and silver vessels, exquisite jades...

Excited heart, trembling hands.

Yang Qingdai swallowed hard, "Where did you get these things? You must not do anything illegal, understand?

We have a lot of these things. There are two big rooms at the master's place, and there are also the things that Elder Qian and Elder Liu gave us at the beginning of the year. They are all in the capital. After the exam, I will take you to see them."

At this moment, Yang Qingdai felt like a worried parent, fearing that her rebellious teenager would do something "earth-shattering".

Sensing his sister's worry, Yang Ziling raised his white teeth and said, "Don't worry, I got all these through legitimate means. I know you like to collect these things, and I bought them from the villagers when I went on missions with the Chief of Staff and his men."

I must have been scared a few years ago. When I heard that he wanted to buy these old things, I wanted him to pack them all up and take them away.

There were still a lot of them piled up in the small dormitory specially assigned to him by the chief of staff. He also wanted to make more trips to the remote countryside to collect as much as he could, and give them all as gifts to his sister on her eighteenth birthday.

"The villagers treated these things as hot potatoes, and some people often came to the army to ask me if I wanted more."

Yang Qingdai patted her heart and said, "That's good, that's good."

He took Yang Ziling's backpack and said, "You are so dirty, go wash yourself. Your Danny will treat you to a delicious meal tonight."

"Okay!" Yang Ziling opened the door and went out happily.

He knew that his sister would definitely like the gift he brought back.

Tang Danni was holding a pile of letters, looking at Yang Ziling who was leaving happily with a puzzled look on her face.

"What reward did you give to little brother Ziling? Why are you so happy?"

Yang Qingdai carefully took out the things Yang Ziling brought back one by one and placed them in order. She checked the bag again and again to make sure there was nothing left before putting it aside.

"No, just tell him that you specially prepared delicious dinner for him tonight."

Tang Danni moved closer to her and said, "Come, look into my eyes and see if they believe what you are saying."

Yang Qingdai smiled and pushed her away, protecting the fragile item with one hand: "Don't make trouble, don't break the gift that Xiao Ziling brought back for me."

Tang Danni then noticed that there was a large piece of oil paper on Yang Qingdai's kang, with all kinds of strange things placed on it. "What are you doing? Are you planning to open a stall at the town market before the New Year?"

"What are you thinking about?" Yang Qingdai picked up a copper incense burner and looked at it for a long time without understanding what it was. She simply put it back and said, "He exchanged this with his fellow villagers at the Northwest Research Institute."

"Oh," Tang Danni was not interested. She handed the pile of letters to her and found a spacious place to sit down. "My brother sent it to you."

Yang Qingdai was stunned. "Your brother? Letter?"

"Do you think it's exaggerated and surprising?"

Seeing Yang Qingdai nod, Tang Danni continued, "What he sent me was even more outrageous. Can you believe it? He wrote two letters a month, accumulated them for more than a year, and sent them all to me at once."

Yang Qingdai's temples throbbed as she read the diary-like records in the letter.

He opened the box directly and found a foreign exchange bill, which made him smile.

Tang Danni leaned over curiously, opened her mouth wide, and rubbed her eyes in disbelief, "So much money?"

"Your brother also makes a lot of money." Yang Qingdai folded the foreign exchange receipt and put it away contentedly.

This partnership is amazing.

The letter said that he would have about half a year's vacation this time, and he would have plenty of time to go back and forth to Hong Kong to make money.

It suits her very well.

It’s a pity that she can’t go out now, otherwise she really wants to take Yang Ziling out to see the advanced things outside.

The dinner was lively thanks to Yang Ziling's return.

Secretary Yang and his wife, and Uncle Ma and his wife were all invited.

The moment I saw Yang Ziling, I couldn't help but sigh that he had changed a lot. He became more mature and stable, but also more sophisticated.

Everyone looked at Chen Yu and could only shake their heads and sigh.

Chen Yu was completely confused by their "what a pity" looks, and didn't understand what he had done to make them look at him that way.

After dinner, when they were doing what Yang Qingdai called the "pre-exam test", Chen Yu knew why.

After the test, Yang Ziling's 100% accuracy rate directly beat everyone in the audience.

Chen Yu really wanted to kneel down to him.

What does it feel like to be crushed in all aspects by a child who is almost ten years younger than you.

He was defeated in martial arts and literature, and now he was still the young disciple designated by the old director of the Northwest Institute. Looking back at himself, he had nothing but years and the books that Mr. Qian left him, but he had not had time to thoroughly study them.

Chen Yu just felt that he was a waste.

But how could his younger brother, who was also a "waste" person, remain so calm and humbly ask Yang Ziling for advice? Zhang Daqiang also went over to listen to the explanation.

Yang Qingdai and Tang Danni also came together to solve the problem, and Chen Yu was in tears.

Zhang Guochang patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to go out for a walk together.

"Do you feel tired?" Zhang Guochang took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

Chen Yu took a deep breath, "It's all fake to say that I'm not tired or stressed. I'm really old and my brain isn't working well anymore."

Zhang Guochang didn't buy it. "How well your brain works has little to do with age. Chen Xiao is only a few minutes younger than you, but his brain works much better than yours."

"You called me out, weren't you here to comfort and encourage me?"

No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a mockery of him.

"You? Comfort and encourage you?" Zhang Guochang said with a tsk, "Don't think too much. You're not my partner. Why should I waste my time on you?"

Chen Yu:......

A guy who values ​​women over friendship will no longer be able to be a brother.

"You just have too many things on your mind. You want everything, and your energy is dispersed too much, so you can't do anything well."

Zhang Guochang is still reliable, "Think carefully about it. Have you been going to Beijing for 'business' more frequently recently? Have you been trying to thoroughly read all the books that Mr. Qian gave you? Have you been preparing for the college entrance examination with them? And have you been trying to fight with the one at home?

How can it work when there are so many things going on in your head?"
