the longest dream

Chapter 327
Bird City, Glacier One.

"Old Qiao, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Although we are from Xijiang, we have never been here. In fact, we seldom even go to Eqi County and stay in the village."

When they came out to play, at first Li Fangjie dragged Sun Yuehe to ask this and that, but it turned out that the couple didn't know anything, Sun Yuehe said a little shyly.

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "After the conditions at home are better, you and dad will take grandpa and grandma out for a trip, but you don't want to go out. Go out more often. Although the hometown is good, the scenery outside is also beautiful."

Zhang Guozhong was actually willing to travel thousands of miles. Although he was poor, his academic performance was very good. If it weren't for the fact that his parents passed away early and had to drag his two younger brothers, he would not have dropped out of school early to farm.It is also a dream to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

But Sun Yuehe didn't want to, and he didn't force it.

He knew exactly what Sun Yuehe was worried about, but he didn't think it was wrong.

To be honest, he still has some self-awareness. Among the regrets in his life, he might not have yearned for romance...

Therefore, instead of resisting the temptation with difficulty, it is better to live a small life down-to-earth.

Qiao Beiyan looked at the [-] million-year-old glacier in front of him, which is the closest to the metropolis in the world, and said with a smile, "You are still young, and you still have time to take a look at the great rivers and mountains in the world."

Sun Yuehe felt that she had embarrassed her son, and said cruelly: "From now on, I will go out once a year and have a look around! Next time Mr. Qiao comes again, we won't hire a tour guide, let's lead the way!"

Qiao Beiyan laughed and said: "Okay, okay! But you have to pay attention to safety when you go out, and bring more people, there is no harm."

As he spoke, he asked Zhang Qing to support him, and slowly climbed up a low hill. After taking a breath, he said, "Qingzai, the [-] million-year-old glaciers cannot be seen on Hong Kong Island. Japan China, South Korea, and Nanyang cannot be seen. Only China can see such a magnificent scenery. Many people in Hong Kong Island do not understand, nor do they understand the magnificence of the motherland. In future movies and novels, you can write more Click this."

Zhong Qu also looked at the glacier greedily, and said with a smile: "At our age, we don't have many chances to see these things."

The richer and more prestigious a person is, the less he wants to die.

After watching for half an hour, a group of people drove to the airport.

In the car, Qiao Beiyan said to Zhang Qing: "This time I left [-] million education funds in Xijiang, I hope they can use them well."

Zhang Qing said: "[-] million is a lot. Although Xijiang has a vast territory, its total population is only over [-] million, which is a little more than the population of Pingjing City. I will also contribute [-] million to help the rural schools in Xijiang install boilers. "

Qiao Beiyan didn't quite understand: "Installing a boiler?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "It's the heating. The schools in the city of Xijiang have heating in winter, which is very warm. The rural ones are not good. In a large classroom, there is only a stove converted from an oil drum, and then a long iron sheet is connected. The chimney goes out of the window. Every autumn, the school pulls a lot of coal, and the monitors of each class lead people to divide the coal and carry it back to the classroom to burn in winter. But it is not hot, and it is not safe. The soot poisoning happens every year. I heard."

Zhong Qu heard the words, thought for a while and said, "Then I will donate two million too."

Both Qiao Beiyan and Li Fangjie were shocked when they heard this remark. One must know that the "Zhongqu Scholarship" donated by Zhongqu back to his hometown of Haining was only [-] yuan...

In the second year, his alma mater hired him as the honorary principal, and donated two sets of his novels to his alma mater...

Not one of the writers who wrote articles for "Ming Pao" did not criticize Zhong Qu for being stingy.

People from all walks of life on Hong Kong Island ridiculed Zhong Qu's miserliness in every possible way.

This honor back then actually belonged to Qiao Beiyan, and Qiao's studio steamed buns were reluctant to make them bigger.

But with his annual donation of [-] million yuan, no one will say he is stingy anymore...

Qiao Beiyan smiled at Zhang Qing: "It seems that Zhong Sheng is very satisfied with you, otherwise, his silver paper is embedded in his waist, and ordinary people cannot pull it out."

Everyone laughed.

When we arrived at the airport, we bid farewell to the escort of the relevant departments, and the plane took off and flew to Beita City.

It's only an hour's journey to land at the airport.

The sky in Beita City is much bluer than that in Bird City.

The city with the highest altitude of more than [-] meters, the real blue sky is like washing!

In the airport, besides the three sets of teams from Beita City, the heads of Eqi County also arrived.

But after being polite, except for the security guards, the Yamen officials did not bother to accompany him.

A group of people got on the convoy that Dujuan Culture had transferred from Bird City early, and went to Jiefang Village, Eqi County.

The two big bosses of Beita City and the main bosses of Eqi County still followed, but they just missed a step and went to Bayi Village where Zhang Guozhong and Sun Yuehe currently lived.

"It's too frugal."

Looking at the Zhang family's former residence built of loess, Qiao Beiyan didn't show any distressed expression, but he still said something.

It is a short earthen house with three rooms, and the height of the room is only two meters, but after entering the door, dig down about a foot.

The ground is not paved with bricks, nor is it made of concrete, but yellow earth. This is done to keep warm.

Zhong Qu also shook his head secretly and sighed softly, his eyes finally fell on the certificate of merit on the wall of the heated kang in the Westinghouse, and sighed softly: "It really is cold and planting pines and cypresses, the poor family is studying."

Qi Juan looked more seriously, looking at the room where the cloth ceiling could be touched by raising her head and hands, she didn't have much smile on her face.

The bright big eyes blinked much faster.

Zhang Lan's voice came from the yard outside. She was proudly introducing the kennel and pigsty to her partners, and how she used to feed pigs and chickens.

Li Fangjie was more exaggerated, hugged Zhang Qing's shoulders, and said with emotion: "Qingzi, you have suffered a lot!"

Apart from being clean, what is the difference between this house and the cowshed and pigsty...

Zhang Qing smiled warmly and said, "Sixth Aunt, it's actually not hard. My parents are both here, and I have a younger sister. Although my family is poor, I'm so lucky. Sixth Uncle happened to donate a school in Eqi County. I paid my tuition fees. I just went to the inner high class and met my girlfriend. If I didn’t endure hardships, how could so many lucky things happen to me?”

Zhong Qu smiled and said: "One drink and one peck, there is a destiny. It's just Qingzi, why is your house so short and gloomy, with such a small window?"

Zhang Qing explained: "The wind in western Xinjiang is too strong. Levels [-] and [-] are common occurrences, and levels [-] and [-] have been experienced. The house is too high, and when the wind blows outside, the house is very cold. It takes a lot of coal to burn. The windows are too big, and the glass is also expensive...

Well, don't be sad, it's not like my family lives like this, there are still many people living like this in the village. "

Sensing that something was wrong with Qi Juan, Zhang Qing didn't care about the presence of so many elders, and persuaded her gently.

Qi Juan forced a smile, but said nothing.

The others have nothing to do with her, but they don't want Zhang Qing to live like this, not even for a day.

Seeing this, Qiao Beiyan and the others smiled understandingly, because this earthen house cannot be described as simple and shabby at all.

Seeing a loved one grow up in such an environment, how can you not feel distressed?

A man and a woman who are passionately in love wish they could hold each other in the palm of their hand and protect and love each other in their mouth. This scene obviously hurt the girl's heart.

Sun Yuehe was very satisfied with Qi Juan's reaction, and stepped forward to persuade him: "Qingzi went to the county to study in junior high school. He lived in a dormitory with heating. He came back once a week to carry buns and pickles. He went to the mainland in high school and came back once a year. I am harvesting wheat, so I don’t live much here. Now we have built a good house in Bayi Village, which is a hundred times better than this! Juanzi, I don’t care at all about how much money my son can earn and how big a career he can do. If I marry a daughter-in-law like you back, I feel like smoke is rising from their old Zhang family's ancestral grave!"

Qi Juan was so arrogant, she pressed this section for now, nodded and said: "Auntie, I think so too!"

Sun Yuehe was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

The atmosphere turned for the better.

After the group left the earthen house, Zhang Guozhong suddenly waved to the outside and said loudly, "Xiao Li, let me in, my friend."

Li Tie, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard, waited for the security to let him go, and Tie Zhu and his son Dongzi came in.

Zhang Guozhong and Zhang Qing went forward to meet him, and Zhang Qing called out, "Iron Casting Master."

Tie Zhu said happily: "Qingzi is back! Why did you come here and move back?"

Zhang Qing smiled, and Tie Zhu was left to Zhang Guozhong to deal with, while he shook hands with Dong Zi and called out, "Brother Dong Zi."

Dongzi's eyes flickered, and he had turned around a few times. He was startled by the battle at the door, and now he whispered: "Qingzi, this is..."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Some elders are here." But he didn't mean to introduce.

Dongzi understood, but he didn't care. He really introduced it, but he was still afraid of making a fool of himself, so he whispered: "I will take care of what you told me during the Chinese New Year."

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Brother Dongzi, someone will talk to you later. I'm a little busy these days."

Dongzi nodded, Tie Zhu also had a brief chat with Zhang Guozhong, and the two left.

Qiao Beiyan smiled and said, "Qingzai, you can interact with friends normally, don't decline to take care of us."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Uncle Six, that's my father's friend, my elder. Let's go home, the chickens and sheep should have been slaughtered at home."

At the intersection of Jiefang Village, a row of cars drove in like a gust of wind, and finally stopped at the gate of Zhang's house under the guidance of township and village cadres.

Coincidentally, Qiao Beiyan, Zhong Qu and others had just got into the car at this time.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing had no choice but to get out of the car and walked over to the big bosses who just got off the car and smiled wryly: "Zhao XX, Lin XX, didn't I say it before, this time Qiao Lao and Zhong Lao came to play as my guests. Yes, I really can't delay your time. Unexpectedly, it was still delayed."

Zhao Mo, the big boss of Beita City, looked at Zhang Qing and said with a smile: "Student Zhang Qing... I ask you to call you Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang, Mr. Qiao and Mr. Zhong are all from Hong Kong Island. They are very respectable." I heard that when they were in the capital, Mr. Ling and other leaders specially set up banquets to entertain them. Tell me, can we neglect it when we get here? Of course, we understand that Mr. Qiao and Mr. Zhong want some private leisure space. We won't bother you too much, but we still have to do the minimum of etiquette, don't we? Besides, I've received more than ten calls from my superiors since yesterday, asking me to do a good job in reception. We can't be careless! "

Zhang Qing nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "Zhao XX, you are the parent officer in your hometown. My parents have told me that you and the leaders of Eqi County and Hongqi Commune take good care of our family, so I will not tell you. Fake..."

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "It's our honor to be able to come out of our hometown, two young people, you and Ms. Yanyan. It can't be a big help, but I can still do my best for a small help... Okay, tell the truth, let's listen."

Zhang Qing said: "Mr. Qiao and Mr. Zhong are both people who are accustomed to the capitalist society. They are not used to our cultural customs. Of course, they have already felt Zhao XX's enthusiasm, but after all, they are ninety years old and really have no energy. Another social occasion. In addition, Uncle Liu intends to donate some medical equipment to Eqi County People's Hospital, with a total price of less than [-] million. I will add another [-] million to make up [-] million. A heartfelt offer. Zhao XX, you go back, leave a security car in the security room at the entrance of the village, and you can respond at any time..."

……

"gone?"

After returning to the car, Qiao Bei asked with a smile.

Zhang Qing nodded, Qiao Beiyan smiled and said: "They are very enthusiastic and grand. How much money did you promise to go out?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Five million, but it's clearly stated, it's a donation of medical equipment."

Qiao Beiyan nodded and said, "Give me three million?"

Zhang Qing was greatly surprised: "Sixth Uncle, amazing!"

Zhong Qu chuckled and said, "An insight into the world is knowledge, and a mastery of human feelings is an article. Qingzi, you did a good job, but you are given too much."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "No amount of investment in medical construction is enough."

Zhong Qu reminded: "You have to be careful of the greed of human nature."

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "I understand, but I don't have any interests in my hometown, so I opened a battlefield, and all the output was used for official business, so I'm not afraid of encountering greedy people. At worst, the whole family will leave."

Qiao Beiyan smiled and said, "No, they will take good care of your family. They are all smart people."

After all, he looked at the large golden wheat field outside the car window, which stretched as far as the eye could see. In the wheat field that had been harvested, there were dense flocks of sheep. There was the sound of shepherds riding horses and sparrows flying...

The beautiful scenery of northern Xinjiang!
Zhang Qing said with a smile to Qiao Beiyan and Zhong Qu: "The scenery is so friendly. After leaving my hometown for a long time, I feel very touched when I see the pictures of my childhood again."

Qiao Beiyan laughed and said: "It's not time for you to miss your hometown, Qingzi, you are still young, you should go to create a new world! Remembering the past and being nostalgic for your hometown are things we should do at this age."

Zhang Qing responded with a nod and a smile, and a few camels on the side of the road ahead slowly came from the opposite side, getting closer and closer to home...

In fact, he prefers the life in his hometown where he slowly savors the fireworks of the world and watches everything for a long time.
