good old days

Chapter 688 Low awareness
It was planned to stay in Jibei Province for a week. In fact, the foundation staff stayed for twelve days in total, but Jiang Xinyu only stayed for the first seven days of the plan.

Because of the bad weather, it started to snow three days after the hail.

A week passed, and when it started to snow, Jiang Xinyu mentioned that she wanted to go back to the capital and be separated from everyone.

Her mother said she would come to Northern Hebei Province to settle down a few years ago. She was thinking about this and wanted to go find her when she came.

If she wants to leave, Director Hu will also leave, because she has other work, and there is nothing she can do if it won't be finished for a while. She can only let other staff continue to follow up.

Director Hu called all the staff for a meeting before leaving.

Jiang Xinyu discovered that Director Hu was really capable of doing things and had his own system for organizing manpower allocation, but he was also really fierce when criticizing people.

She looked down on people who were slow and ineffective in doing things, and her fiery talk made a young lesbian cry.

On the return train, thanks to Director Hu's favor, Jiang Xinyu also got into the sleeper berth when train tickets were hard to buy.

Director Hu propped his chin and looked out the window, watching the gray land outside the window receding all the way, and the short houses looking so small in the wilderness.

"My daughter is also abroad and has not been back for a year and a half. She said that the gap between China and the world is not the slightest, and she wants to stay abroad in the future."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, "The gap is indeed not small now, but we will definitely catch up in the future."

Director Hu took a sip of water to moisten his throat, "I didn't understand her before, but to be honest, comparing the rural areas of Northern Hebei Province with the capital, I would also like to live in the capital forever."

Water is inconvenient, electricity is not available, the quality of education is worrying, food and supplies are in short supply, and everything is lagging behind. How can such a life be happy?
The middle-aged man who had been sleeping on the upper floor looked down and said, "Comrade, everyone likes a better life. Poverty is common nowadays. Perseverance is victory. Your daughter can go abroad because she has benefited from the country. If she stays outside, she will not be able to live a better life." Wouldn’t coming back mean forgetting one’s roots?”

Director Hu's newly relaxed spirit tightened, "Comrade, let's talk in private. Don't go on the line. She just feels that there is a huge gap between domestic and foreign countries. She has not said she won't come back. If she doesn't come back, I have to ask her to come back."

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. When you talk about your daughter, I think of my son. He is now fascinated by the foreign world. I always say that he is a little white-eyed wolf who only wants to take but does not know what to pay in return." .”

Director Hu really relaxed a bit when he heard what he said.

In this era, when you go out to introduce yourself, you always report to your workplace. The man and Director Hu reported each other's names and workplaces. Because their children had a common topic of going abroad, the two of them chatted quite well.

The middle-aged man's name is Fu Qiaofa. His employer is the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. He often travels to Germany. He knows a lot about the social situation in Germany. He also said in his words that the country still has a long way to go.

Director Hu shook his head: "That's what young people are like today. They don't suffer as much as we did in the past."

Jiang Xinyu interjected: "What's good about enduring hardship?"

The middle-aged man glanced at her and said, "Have you ever heard that you have to endure hardships to become a great person? Only through hardship can you succeed. Only when you have the opportunity to choose your own life, you will cherish the hard-won good life more."

Jiang Xinyu feels that people of the previous generation have this quality, which will give them a golden light to endure hardship. What he said makes sense, but there are many people in the world who have suffered all kinds of hardships and are still soaked in bitterness. "I think everyone has a choice, and it's not a mistake to want to live a good life."

Of course, in this era, most studies abroad are funded by the state. Those who take advantage of the country and stay abroad are forgetful of their roots.

Director Hu glared at her sideways: "Xiao Jiang, I see you are not a lazy person, so why are you talking to them?"

Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "I'm not talking to anyone, I stick to my own thoughts." Marx said, "If a person only works for himself, he may become a famous scholar, a great philosopher, and an outstanding poet, but he can never become a famous scholar." "A perfect, truly great person". Most people do not have the qualities to become a great person. Taking care of yourself is already a contribution to society."

The upper bunk was too crowded. In order to better defend Jiang Xinyu, Fu Qiaofa got down from the upper bunk and sat on the lower bunk, and said seriously:
"No one is born a great man. The current social development of our country needs screws that exert strength. Without the stage of joint contribution by everyone, we will not reach the same heights as some wealthy countries in Europe. There is a saying that the predecessors have failed. Trees, future generations enjoying the shade, and other people's prosperity are not achieved overnight. They are the foundations laid by the ancestors for future generations, and then they are surpassed and developed by future generations. Although there is no perfect great man, just being a screw is also beneficial to society. The premise is that this screw must work on our territory..."

Jiang Xinyu was in the middle berth, and she had been sitting on Director Hu's lower berth against the wall. Comrade Fu Qiaofa's output made her subconsciously sit up straighter, and she sat up straighter.

This gay man talked like the head teacher in a meeting, and he was as serious and serious as when he was in a meeting with Director Hu.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Xinyu said: "Everyone has the right to choose how to live in life. It is good that most people do not add burdens to society and the country. But you are right. Even if you are a screw in this era, you have to be a cog. Let’s make a difference ourselves.”

Fu Qiaofa looked at her and asked, "College student?"

Jiang Xinyu nodded.

Fu Qiaofa commented: "There are too many personal thoughts, the consciousness is not high enough, and I am still too young."

If you go to their department to practice and experience how difficult it is to go abroad to discuss production lines, and know how difficult the country is now, you will definitely change your mind.

Jiang Xinyu is not angry at all. People are right, her consciousness is indeed not high enough.

Instead, Director Hu cleared her name: "Comrade Fu, did you misjudge the person? Have you read the newspaper? The Chunhe Foundation was created because of her and her lover."

When she said this, Fu Qiaofa looked at Jiang Xinyu carefully several times.

He often reads newspapers, and newspapers are published by those newspapers. He knows about the Chunhe Foundation.

He cupped his fists and said to Jiang Xinyu, "I'm sorry, I was trying to be a teacher just now, but you have a higher consciousness than me." He contributed all his salary to his small family, but he did not contribute to society.

Jiang Xinyu: "Don't face me. When my husband comes back, you can clasp your fists at him."

Fu Qiaofa laughed and then asked about the school and major she attended.

A person's character can be seen through his words. This Comrade Fu talks a lot and can talk about any topic. It is obvious that he is a well-educated person.

Talking all the way to the capital, Jiang Xinyu didn't use her sleeper berth to sleep. She thought the journey would end when the train stopped, but she never expected that Comrade Fu would be her master at her future workplace.
