Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 337 Have you heard about it?
In the cafeteria, Yu Qiang did not join his colleagues in the Department of Western Europe. Instead, he walked to the table of young people assigned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the same group this year.

The young people at this table basically all graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University, and because Yu Qiang himself was a prominent figure in school, this group of people now also follow his lead in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Comrade Yu Qiang, you have sent dinner to Director Miao." As soon as Yu Qiang walked to the table, a boy stood up to make room for him and squeezed to the side. At the same time, he continued to say enthusiastically: "Director Miao This work lasts day and night.”

"I just came back from a trip abroad today and I was busy with work again and didn't have a good rest."

Yu Qiang nodded proudly, put Director Miao's lunch box aside, took the lunch box that had been packed for him from his colleagues, opened it slowly, and then replied with a smile: "So, these old people Generations of revolutionaries are always worth learning from!"

"Especially since we are still young and not burdened by family, we should devote ourselves to work wholeheartedly!"

"But you can't go home as soon as you get off work. You're always surrounded by small families."

The speaker is thoughtful and the listener is intentional. There is a glimmer in the eyes of a male colleague with a fat face and glasses.

Yu Qiang paused, his face full of righteousness, "We must devote our limited lives to infinite struggle!"

"Otherwise, when will the four modernizations be realized?"

Listening to these young people who have just graduated and entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they softly exclaimed "Oh, wow" from time to time.

“Our mission in France was a complete success!”

Other staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who occasionally overheard their chatting on the side smiled and nodded. They originally wanted to give them a heads up, but they didn't expect that these young people were still quite enlightened.

"He is also very good, so he joined this delegation, right?"

At this time, a fat male colleague wearing glasses suddenly interrupted: "Comrade Yu Qiang, I heard that apart from you, Comrade Gu Weijun is the only one who is assigned to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs among us for this trip. Come on, too." ?”

"What do these appearances mean?"

"Yes, yes," other young colleagues nearby immediately followed, "Comrade Yu Qiang, please tell us."

Yu Qiang paused again, "Comrade Gu Weijun has made outstanding contributions, especially in our country's raw silk export trade!"

"For our country's raw silk trade, we have a good relationship with France's main trading businessman, a young and outstanding female capitalist."

"We will have to study for at least two more years before we have the opportunity to participate in a visiting delegation."

After the flattery, someone started talking again, full of envy: "Comrade Yu Qiang, can you tell us about your trip abroad this time?"

The surrounding admirers all spoke: "That's right!" "Comrade Yu Qiang said it so well!" "Comrade Yu Qiang's awareness needs us to learn from it together!"

"We are studying in advance."

"Comrade Chen Kai asked a good question!" Yu Qiang nodded approvingly to the fat man with glasses, with the corners of his mouth raised, "Comrade Gu Weijun is very outstanding!"

"Okay, okay!" Yu Qiang smiled broadly, and then began to tell these peers about this overseas visit.

At the end of the speech, Yu Qiang very seriously criticized the decadent capitalist life abroad, "Comrades, we want to liberate all mankind!"

"Is there anything he can learn from during this trip?"

"We are in the same office and I often learn from him!"

"These all represent that more people abroad are being oppressed and exploited!"

Airports with frequent takeoffs and landings, cars driving everywhere on the road, high-rise buildings everywhere, the city that never sleeps with bright lights at night, there are also well-dressed men, gorgeous women, accompanied by live music performances, well-funded cocktail parties, etc.

Don’t be fooled by the red and green colors abroad.

When he said this, Yu Qiang glanced at Chen Kai with a smile, and a trace of thought flashed in Chen Kai's eyes.

The small group then began discussing this year's United Nations conference.

At this time, Gu Weijun had returned to the courtyard of Nanluoguxiang. Gu's mother was very happy to see her eldest son back. Although she had been verbally dissatisfied, she really thought about it, especially since her younger son was not around now when he went to the countryside.

Gu's mother pulled Gu Weijun to her side and looked him up and down, "I seem to have gained a little weight after going abroad this time."

"Have you had dinner?"

"I'll give you a bowl of noodles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Huairu stood up from Ma Liu's table and walked to the cupboard, "Auntie, you have a rest and have a good chat with Brother Junzi. I'll help Junzi below." "I'm here to help, too." Li stood up and went to help.

Only Qin Jingru was still sitting stupidly
Gu's mother was not polite and directly pulled Gu Weijun to sit at the table. She did not ask him about the situation abroad. Instead, she talked enthusiastically about her and Qin Huairu's trip to the Northeast.

"Now the Second Army has really grown up, and he can do farm work in a decent manner!" Speaking of her youngest son Gu Weimin, Gu's mother was also full of joy, "He has grown taller and stronger!"

"So, Chairman Mao is right, there is a lot of potential in the vast world!"

“Rural areas are where people are trained!”

Because there was a direct train, Gu Ma and Qin Huairu didn't suffer much. Gu Weijun took them to the train, and relatives picked them up when they got off. They returned to their hometown in Northeast China smoothly.

And now that Gu Weimin lives in the house in his hometown, it doesn't look deserted. After tidying up, Gu Ma and Qin Huairu moved in.

I don’t know if it’s because of Gu Weimin’s influence, or if it’s because of the tough folk customs in the Northeast, but Bangge now does farm work with style.

This finally made Qin Huairu feel relieved. She helped Banggan wash the clothes and told him to follow Gu Weimin and learn more, so he would not suffer any loss. You must know that this is Gu Weimin's hometown.

Then I told Banggeng to write more letters when I have time.

I don’t know if it’s because of the improvement of living conditions, or because there is no longer the influence of broken shoes, but Banggeng can still listen to what he says.

After taking good care of their son and leaving some money, Gu Ma and Qin Huairu returned to the capital.

At this time, Qin Huairu came over with noodles, and Gu Weijun took it and said thank you, and Gu's mother continued: "Banggeng is also exercising well now. He can do laundry, cooking, chopping firewood and diving."

"Especially the focus of their educated youth is collective life, which has worn away the squeamishness they had before Bangge."

"Xiao Qin, are you relieved now? It will definitely be no problem for Banggeng to hold the door pillar in the future!"

Qin Huairu's smile showed wrinkles, "Then I have to thank my brother Junzi for your help."

"Otherwise, how about going to the countryside to an unfamiliar place?"

After Qin Huairu said a few more polite words, she took Yu Li and Qin Jingru and left Gu Weijun's house.

As soon as they left, Gu's mother quickly asked in a low voice about the two foreign grandchildren. Gu Weijun pretended to take out a stack of photos from his pocket but actually took out a stack of photos from the space and handed them to Gu's mother, and continued to eat noodles.

"Oh, look at my two eldest grandsons, how come they are so handsome now?"

"Ah, we have two beautiful little granddaughters!" After Mom Gu flipped through the photos of Emily and Karina, she couldn't keep her eyes open with laughter, and hit Gu Weijun with her hand, "Those two daughters-in-law When can you come here this year?”

"Tell them that they must bring these two granddaughters back to me."

Gu Weijun nodded while eating noodles. After Gu's mother finished reading, he put away all the photos.

"I don't even want the things your foreign daughters-in-law brought you. It's too garish."

"I'll give them to you when I get the chance."

"It's nothing more than clothes, shoes and the like."

Mother Gu reluctantly watched Gu Weijun put away the photos, "I don't care about those things, as long as they have enough food and clothing."

"I just miss my grandson and granddaughter."

"I don't know when you can stay with me for a little longer?"

"Ugh"

"Hiccup," Gu Weijun burped, ignoring Gu Ma's sadness. If this continued, Gu Ma would vent her anger on himself again.

"I'm going to the master's place. My dad is drinking tea there, right?"

Gu Ma rolled her eyes, "Your dad is away from home every night now. He either goes to Master Qi's place, or to your Uncle Yang or Uncle Zhao's place."

"Hey, Junzi, have you heard about your return this time?" Gu's mother suddenly asked mysteriously.

"What did you hear?"
