Cold chain for 20 years

Chapter 259 Journey to the Northwest
A car heading northwest.

In the northwestern land in winter, the scene on both sides of the road is not as monotonous as imagined. Sometimes you can see large areas of seabuckthorn bushes, and sometimes you can see dry but strong Populus euphratica. In some places, it has snowed, and cattle and sheep are looking for hay on the sunny slopes.

There were six people in the car, and Hu Shutong took four people from the R&D center to Longwei County.Longwei County is Meng Qiangqiang's hometown. Meng Qiangqiang's original intention was to ask Tongxing to send three or two people to help with research, but Hu Shutong planned to come and take a look in person. After all, he didn't know much about the Northwest Cold Chain. figurative.

There are many mountains and hills in Ganzhou, and the more tunnels there are as you go to the northwest. In such a terrain, the time it takes to go from Qingyan to Qingping is probably nearly twice as long here.Hu Shutong can also see many differences in the vehicles coming and going.

Meng Qiangqiang's home is in a town under the jurisdiction of Longwei County. Many towns here are composed of mountain villages. The original plan was to meet Meng Qiangqiang in Longwei County. I temporarily changed my mind and hoped that Hu Shutong could come and sit at home.

Hu Shutong felt that something was wrong, so he asked everyone to stay in the county seat first, and then rushed to the village with the driver.

At the entrance of the village, Meng Qiangqiang came here early to wait for Hu Shutong, but he couldn't see the slightest joy in his expression, and sat on a stone blankly, frowning.Holding a disposable lighter in his hand, he flicked it once and let it go, and watched the flame rise and then go out.

It was getting late, and Hu Shutong finally met Meng Qiangqiang after trekking through some difficult paths.

Meng Qiangqiang got in the car and led Hu Shutong to the house. The moment they met, Hu Shutong noticed something strange. Those bright eyelids seemed to have just cried.

"Qiangqiang, what happened?"

With a hoarse voice, Meng Qiang said in a low voice, "Mr. Hu, my dad said he wanted to talk to you, so he agreed with everything I said, but he didn't do anything when he heard you came. If my dad bumps into you, I'll apologize to you first, don't be as knowledgeable as him, he doesn't understand anything!"

Hu Shutong nodded, "Don't worry, I'm sensible."

The car drove all the way to the west of the village, and the most remote household was Meng's. There were a few chickens in the yard, and there were dried chili peppers on the burden before the tide went out at noon.On the wall between the windows hung a string of garlic braids.

Meng Qiangqiang's parents went out to meet the guests. The two looked over 50 years old. Meng's father was wearing a dark blue flat cap, thin and black, and he never left his pipe.

Seeing Hu Shutong's determined spirit and extraordinary demeanor, Meng's father was somewhat surprised that he resembled those high-ranking children in the county.

It was dinner time, and the Meng family stewed a pot of chicken and mixed the noodles. There was also a plate of square cakes on the table, and a can full of loose liquor.Although it was the kind of small bowl-like drinking utensil, Hu Shutong did not refuse it. It could be seen that Meng's father was a good drinker.

"Boss Hu, if Qiangzi knows someone like you, he will be very promising. But don't be afraid of Boss Hu's jokes. You have seen the situation at home. We just want Qiangzi to do his duty. I have a job in a large factory, and my family is satisfied. As for what to do, it’s not that I don’t want to do it, but I really can’t afford it.”

"Dad! You said earlier that you would support me in everything! Why did you change your mind at this time!"

"What kind of support do you have! It's a factory building, you're building a chicken coop!" Meng Qiangqiang gritted his teeth and gasped for breath as he said this out of nowhere.

"Uncle Meng, I understand what your family chooses. I came here this time not only for the sake of being strong, but also to take a look at the situation here. You two don't have to fight like this, do it yourself The risk is high, and there is a fixed job at work, which is safe and secure, and it is all about calm and discussion."

Father Meng nodded again and again, "Boss Hu's words are reasonable, and the family thinks the same way. If you want me to tell you, just stop thinking about it for him. The poor place in the valley, what are you messing with!"

Hu Shutong smiled, "You don't have to worry about it. Some things are forced to be done by others, and others will do it. It's not up to me to think about it or not."

"Let Boss Hu worry about it, the family is like this, so we won't say more."

Hu Shutong nodded and said: "Uncle Meng, the reason why this matter happened is because Qiangqiang went to a good university and has the ability to do technology by himself. It is because of this that I wonder if there is anything I can do to help. A place for a gang."

While talking, Hu Shutong picked up the wine and drank a small bowl, "Furthermore, Qiangqiang and I had similar encounters, which was also the case in my family back then. We are the same profession, and at that time, everyone in the family thought that I will be a big car in the future, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding later on.”

"Uncle Meng, Qiangqiang was born in the number one school in Qingzi. My factory especially needs talents like him. If it weren't for these origins, I was afraid that he would give birth to entrepreneurial ideas. I also grew up in the village. In fact, I have a lot of money. There is a way of living with more money, and a way of living with less money. However, things like the shadow of a famous tree can’t be exchanged for money sometimes. I remember Qiangqiang said that he was admitted to the university. That day, everyone in the village was counting on him to build roads for their hometown in the future."

Hu Shutong's words, Meng Qiangqiang's experience is extremely profound. In the countryside, reputation is often more important than money.No one will say how much savings the family has, but everyone will magnify the reputation.For the older generation, children work outside the home, weavers say they are engaged in clothing trade, and those who do advertising and planning mean they are engaged in real estate.People don't really know what the outside world is like, but they all know which industries are worth bragging about.

And comparisons are everywhere. If a rich person does not have a family, people will say that not having a family is not considered successful. If you have a family with a business and no children, people will say that you must have a descendant. Guess where the money came from.

Meng Qiangqiang glanced at Hu Shutong in surprise, because after that speech, he saw a slight change in his father's expression.All of a sudden, Hu Shutong sincerely admired him. If it was Meng Qiangqiang who said these words, he would probably get a broomstick, but Hu Shutong's words to this outsider were very effective.

In the current occasion, the cost is very low, and the cost is extremely low. It is useless at all. As long as the cost is raised, the father's brow will be aggravated.But if it is said that it can earn a reputation for the family, it sounds gentle and slow, but in fact it reaches the father's psychological defense line.With this thinking in mind, it is possible for things to move in the direction of "we are old, let you young people toss around".
