Chapter 599: To Lead or Not to Lead

The previous owner of this villa must have been a hedonist.

Whether it was the decoration or the furniture arrangement, or even the cabinet radio, clock, phonograph, and other items left behind.

The most prominent feature was that steel piano downstairs.

In that era, being wealthy meant nothing, but being wealthy and possessing artistic talent was quite extraordinary.

Even though Li Li Xuewu's family now has no worries about food or drink, do you see Li Shunyou having any intention of letting his son learn the piano?

Saying it takes three generations to cultivate a noble is an understatement; without that idle money, where would the time and freedom come from to study art?

Since ancient times, art has been a means for the rich and noble to elevate their status and distinguish their identity.

Of course, this does not negate the role of art and artworks in the process of human life and production.

The pursuit of beauty is an indispensable driving force in the process of human evolution and progress; otherwise, we wouldn't have today's magnificent architecture and clothing, would we?

If we didn't pursue beauty, we would all still be living in caves naked today.

Li Li Xuewu smiled, gestured to the seats, and invited Qin Qin Jingru and the others to sit down.

Qin Qin Jingru exhaled a puff of smoke and smilingly asked Yin Yin Mancang a question.

Every time Qin Qin Jingru came down the mountain, Yin Yin Mancang would always call Yan Yan Fengye and us over to talk together; that approach made all eight parties involved in the interests feel quite comfortable.

"That's a bad thing! It shows that our 418th Regiment has done our work solidly."

You miss life in the Northeast, but you haven't gone back yet.

Qin Qin Jingru looked at Yin Yin Mancang and the others, saying, "Do you think there's any chance? At most, you might think there's none, but would Regiment Commander Qi only want to be a 'Mountain-Perching Eagle' or a 'Grass King'?"

Even before marrying the old master of the Li family, she had planned to go back and take a look.

This invisibly increased Qin Qin Jingru's workload intensity; no matter how busy she was, she felt time was insufficient.

Qin Qin Jingru looked as if she had just finished bathing, her hair still wet, yet she appeared refreshed and energetic.

Although Wei Tong really wanted to speak more fiercely and seriously, how could one be serious about such a topic?

You have experience, but have you never done it or even seen it?

Qin Qin Jingru looked at that silly, thick-necked blockhead with some frustration, as if disappointed that iron had not turned into steel.

"What are you doing?!"

Just like the situation in the Security Department, the first batch of trainees has not yet been able to shoulder the security responsibilities of their respective units; those sent this time are all personnel for intensified training and rotational training.

This is far less severe than Han Shu forcing me, but the key is that Qin Qin Jingru cares about saving face.

Of course, it depends on how you look at it; in the eyes of ordinary people, the Yan Yan Fugui family might be considered capable, yet they still cannot compare to the Li family.

Mainly consisting of the Security Department's office staff and frontline personnel, as well as trainees transferred from other branch factories.

For example, rice and dishes were prepared in the kitchen, just waiting for Qin Qin Jingru and the others to come down and stir-fry them in the wok.

The study and small living room were separated from the master bedroom, with a door added to increase the living space for the owners.

Forget it, I won't bother with it~

Yan Yan Fengye pulled Zheng Ke by the shoulder, leaned in close, and whispered, "Those female college students are all from Tsinghua; are you just going to stupidly let them slip away? Find a suitable one and pursue her!"

Qin Qin Jingru tapped the table in front of her and said, "On the road ahead, we will encounter various trends that seem advantageous or disadvantageous; we must keep our heads clear and prepare for battle; that is the attitude one must hold when handling any opportunity."

"Then we must congratulate our 418th Regiment." Wei Tong actually also supported Qin Qin Jingru continuing her education; it wasn't that he looked down on Qin Qin Jingru's low academic credentials, nor that he despised her low cultural level, but rather he felt that her studying was better than tormenting herself.

"The document clearly specifies what we need to do next; aren't we already doing it? But are we really doing it well and thoroughly enough?"

Back then, Qin Qin Jingru heavily utilized several people from the Public Security Section; Xu Ning is now Li Shu at the Steel City, Han Han Yating is Li Shu in the Security Section, and Zheng Ke is no longer Yan Feng.

"That one... was also introduced, it's just that there was no time."

On Monday, Sha Sha Qizhi came on behalf of Qin Qin Jingru, mainly to understand the training situation and the completion status of various constructions at the training ground currently.

Dong Wenxue was not a child raised in a wealthy family in the city; how else could he ask, "Why can parents and children still sleep on the same kang?"

At the dining table, the few of them spoke very little; Qin Qin Jingru also said little, only recounting some of her observations from visiting Steel City to the old lady.

A group naturally must have a common goal, otherwise it cannot walk far; of course, it must also have a common voice.

"If you can't do it, just say you can't; why blame the general environment?"

Qin Qin Jingru tapped the table and explained, "There are many unfavorable conditions, such as the output of agricultural and sideline products, and the breeding of livestock and domestic animals; it seems like it's getting started, but actually, taking even one step further is not easy."

Yan Yan Fengye would never waste time talking with his mouth at this moment; he exerted force on the arm holding Wei Tong, picked her up, and went to the inner room.

When the food in the kitchen was ready and the old lady had coaxed Liu Yin to sleep, Qin Qin Jingru and Wei Tong also came down from upstairs.

Did she struggle at all during that time before dinner tonight? Did she offer any resistance? Or was it just that dinner was late?

Li Li Xuewu said with emotion, "Being transferred into the Garrison Command, we face extremely arduous difficulties; fortunately, with your help, we found such suitable garrison locations in both the city and on the mountain."

"Hahaha! How could I not know? I heard about it even here in Jingcheng."

After placing Wei Tong on the bed, just as he was about to make a move, Wei Tong suddenly rolled over and dodged away.

The old lady nodded, smiled, and returned to her own room.

Wei Tong has been reading medical books recently, while I have to study textbooks; there is an exam at the end of next month.

At this moment, being held in the arms of that good-for-nothing, she simply couldn't push him away.

"And another thing..."

One pot of tea, poured into two cups; neither disturbs the other.

"Our Regiment Commander Qi always takes the lead; he is at the forefront every day during land reclamation; Director Li here might not necessarily know that."

Holding a meeting without smoking always feels like something is missing; it's better to have some smoke; it's hazy, and it's also better for covering one's face when cursing.

As everyone's expressions shifted from joy to contemplation, Qin Qin Jingru emphasized, "The Red Star Training Ground is a branch institution of the Rolling Steel Factory and lacks representativeness; Red Star Village is a natural village under the control of organizational institutions and lacks initiative; your regiment, furthermore, represents particularity."

Zheng Ke explained somewhat embarrassedly, "You see, I'm always at the training ground; so many matters are left unattended; how can I get along with people?"

Inside the meeting hall, the crowd, who had just been doused with cold water by Qin Qin Jingru, reignited their determination and will to fight.

These are all cadres; life is already poor and bitter; without having done good deeds, why harbor good intentions?

From this single point, one can see just how much Qin Qin Jingru cares about the college entrance examination.

Because there was no Qin Qin Jingru to look after things, fewer houses were found.

Pointing at Qin Qin Jingru, he said, "At any time, one can be misled by the situation, get carried away; reckless, foolish, and arrogant actions must be stopped!"

"That... how could one do that?"

"Stay alert to unusual movements; execute discipline with utmost care."

Before going downstairs, the couple said something; Qin Qin Jingru also told you to wait for her.

"Hehehe~" "Why is it so green?"

It took just a hand's effort to wash it out; at home you loved working the fields, but now you must do all the work outside the home as well.

"You were reading too; didn't you just fall asleep carelessly?"

Qin Qin Jingru squinted one eye, sizing up the slightly embarrassed Section Chief, and asked, "Now that you're a Section Chief, hasn't your family introduced anyone to you?"

Yan Feng naturally knew Qin Qin Jingru never spoke nonsense; she was clearly hinting at him.

Qin Qin Jingru patted Yan Feng and said, "So what if you're a university student? Must a university student only find another university student? Can someone who finished junior high only find another junior graduate? Absurd!"

On the first floor, Liu Yin, who was fiddling with a tumbler toy, twitched her ears and turned to glance toward the staircase.

That night with Zhou Qi, Yan Yan Fengye took the opportunity of delivering a bracelet to succeed again, but when Zhou Qi woke up early the next morning, that bracelet was nowhere to be seen.

Yan Yan Fengye had done this before; he never expected that even now, being so impressive, he still had to do this.

"Speaking of contradictions, this makes them even more prominent."

Wei Tong had relatively broad exposure to Western culture and artistic knowledge; from her ability to play the piano, one could tell that the people and environment around her possessed an open-minded side.

Pursuing beauty and art is acceptable; for instance, regarding the place where Li Li Xuewu now lives, he felt those things possessed historical value and an aspect of beauty.

Saying so, he thought only that the old lady should not go hungry, yet the words never left his mouth.

"Before a bird soars high, it must first flap its wings; before a person seeks advancement, they must study early."

When they reached Yan Yan Fengye and the other, the situation was not so numerous or so simple.

Dong Wenxue brought up cold water; after coming down, he loudly said a sentence to the old lady who was looking over, then immediately went back to the kitchen.

"Heard it."

Seeing the Section Chief's disdainful expression, Qin Qin Jingru retorted against him once more, then entered the main building.

Especially since this change appeared to be detrimental to all three families, it made it even more necessary to listen to the opinions of that strategist who handled affairs with divine foresight.

No matter how bad the scenery, one never grows tired of viewing it in a single day; rather, the instructors teaching culture and politics are the ones worth watching.

The Northeast of those years was terrifyingly chaotic; saying that not even one in ten survived was not an exaggeration.

Looking at it now, it seems fine; learning is never useless.

Yin Yin Mancang merely smiled and said, "We owe much to you, Director Li; our regiment this time ended up at the very back of the entire Garrison District formation, yet we managed to show off a bit, hehe~"

After fully considering those issues, once his heated mind calmed down and he was further encouraged by Qin Qin Jingru, his mindset shifted once again.

Wei Tong held the bracelet poured out from the bag, somewhat dazed, yet failed to notice that the good-for-nothing muttering beside her had already slipped into her bed.

"Regiment Commander Qi is right; Director Li's reminder is very important."

"I suspect everyone has already studied the documents, the spirit has been conveyed, the necessary discussions have been held, and the required studying has been completed."

Just as he returned to the living room intending to pack the clothes from Yan Yan Fengye's other luggage bag, he heard a voice that sounded somewhat flushed.

Every sentence Qin Qin Jingru delivered was like a thought-provoking heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.

Qin Jingru Zhong smiled lightly, got off the bed, went to the drawer to retrieve a cloth bag, walked back, and handed it to Wei Tong.

Yin Yin Mancang flicked off some ash from his cigarette and proactively opened the topic, saying, "I think our three families can make a move; we should respond to the call of the document."

This is more reliable and sincere than Gu Gu Weijie, who was transferred from the Iron and Steel Institute.

"No way!"

"A young girl like you saying such things; aren't you blushing heavily?"

"If one lacks a clear understanding, one will also lose the goal of struggle."

"Did your family introduce a partner to you, or did you find one yourself?"

Counting strictly up to the day with Zhou Ba, the total time Qin Qin Jingru had lived together with Wei Tong was still less than the time Zhou Wang Yamei had spent with Wei Tong; who knows what little secrets the two of them shared.

Therefore, whether it was Wei Tong or even the Gu family, no one felt that Yan Yan Fengye was unworthy of Yan Feng.

It was not that the school leaders were particularly greedy; they simply appreciated people like Qin Qin Jingru.

Yan Yan Fengye actually hoped Qin Qin Jingru would change her clothes and come down so he could wash that set as well, but he did not dare to go up and get them.

"Chase! Chase with the utmost boldness!"

Children have sharp ears and can detect some subtle sounds; adults can sometimes hear them too, but they pretend not to.

For instance, right now, lifting Wei Tong and placing her on the desk, looking at his shy yet angrily chiding little wife, Yan Yan Fengye felt even more fondness.

"Yes."

How could Wei Tong endure such nonsense from Xiao Bai? Yet from the moment she saw Qin Qin Jingru enter the room and immediately shut the door, she knew this person was up to no good.

Watching Wei Tong retreat to the bedside and look at him defensively, Qin Qin Jingru could not help but smile bitterly and ask, "Am I an enemy?"

Or the question of "Why can Grandma and Grandpa live in one room on one kang bed?"

Just now... wasn't someone shouting?

Actually, it is not much; in summer there is more sweat and more dust, so clothes are washed once a day; counting my own, there are only eight sets in total.

There were also personnel entrusted for training by Tsinghua Primary School and other units, but none were as numerous as those sent the first time.

But the original owner, just as Qin Qin Jingru said, was an extremely self-centered and hedonistic person.

The gazes of everyone in the venue also followed Zhao Zhao Zhenhua to look at Qin Qin Jingru; their opinions were the same, wanting to hear what Qin Qin Jingru had to say.

"How can this person be so bad!"

Qin Qin Jingru smiled mischievously and retorted against him, saying, "You are also a stubborn fool; those trainees do not share your same status, they are just here to train and learn skills, it's not like they have no private time."

Regarding the ability to observe people and employ people, Qin Qin Jingru could be said to be passable; if asked how many points he would give himself, it would be at least 75.

Does that count as an impromptu assault?

That did slightly improve the functionality and utilization rate of the training ground, allowing the personnel training there to have a more comfortable environment.

"Don't wait for me last time; go to sleep early."

There is plenty of sunlight, but the ventilation is terrible, and the space utilization rate is very low.

Qin Qin Jingru nodded and said to Li Li Xuewu, "We are now in a situation of mutual dependence and mutual assistance; don't you see that Political Commissar Zhao treats you all as family?"

Because out here, there are no relatives, only blood, tears, and regrets.

How in the world was this thing's head screwed on...?

"With just this bird-shitting place surrounded by a small courtyard, even a young lady coming down the mountain to pick mushrooms can cause a crowd to howl wildly, and you're still talking about dating."

Yin Yin Mancang's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and scattered ash fell onto the table, but he didn't bother to brush it off.

In rural life, everyone sleeps on a large kang bed, the whole family squeezed together, so we've seen everything.

Unlike the blind confidence born from just hearing Yin Yin Mancang's words, everyone, reminded by Qin Qin Jingru, deeply reflected on their current situation, weighed the pros and cons, and summarized their experiences.

Because he attached great importance to this, Qi Qi Yaowu specially dispatched a small team from Steel City to the Rolling Steel Factory to be responsible for promoting and coordinating this reform.

Qin Qin Jingru tapped the table, looked at everyone in the meeting hall, and said, "Which time was avoided rather than faced? Isn't taking the initiative better than being passive?"

From the style of this desk and the bookshelves in the study, Yan Yan Fengye could guess the identity of the room's owner with eighty to ninety percent accuracy.

When the old lady left home, Gu Ning had worried that her son and daughter-in-law had different personalities and might quarrel, so she instructed the old lady to show more concern.

"So it turns out I'm the one who held you back, huh?"

If you ask where the remaining 25 points were deducted, one must think back to the Huhu Zhengquan case.

Everyone was just thinking about whether Wei Tong could get along with Qin Qin Jingru.

He lay down on the bed with a guarded expression on Wei Tong's face, placing both hands behind his head.

It's truly good to be young, but one still can't skip eating, can they?

Yin Yin Mancang nodded at Qin Qin Jingru and said with a smile, "I just watch him running up and down the mountain frequently."

She was half-mindedly thinking of advising the old lady that since it was already so late, there was no point in cooking dinner.

Zhao Zhao Zhenhua, however, knew how to speak; he waved his hand at Li Li Xuewu and said, "Helping them is helping ourselves; with our bond as close as fish and water, do we still need to talk about being one family?"

The Section Chief explained to Qin Qin Jingru what guidance the two experts from the Training Department had provided and what they had taught him.

As they walked, Yan Yan Fengye instructed Yan Feng, saying, "Although the situation we currently face has not yet reached its most critical point, your side should still make solid preparations for prevention, ensuring that the training and drilling work is done well and thoroughly."

Things like a son beating someone at the institute, a son slapping someone's face, or a son grabbing someone's head and smashing it against a car.

"Didn't wait for him."

Because the days are longer in summer and people go to sleep later, the young people at Qihe Academy had grown fond of playing cards.

That family's clothes are even harder to wash than these; the villa side has convenient conditions, and water is readily available.

If a student who had just donated money proposed to drop out, the school leaders would find it very awkward.

Young people naturally need ambition; no matter what they do, they shouldn't always be thinking about playing cards, sleeping, or wandering aimlessly.

"What is this?"

The old lady, meanwhile, hugged Liu Yin and returned to her own room.

Qin Qin Jingru tapped the Section Chief's chest and asked, "So among the trainees, there are no women? And among the instructors sent over, there are no women either? Are you just making excuses!"

"Haven't seen you in ten days; Regimental Commander Qi has turned white, huh? Hahaha!"

Even at her older sister's house, she now feels that things aren't so bad.

All those scattered individuals were arranged into a single training squad to receive unified training.

"Hiding inside your pants?"

Back in the day, when the old lady followed her father, uncles, and brothers out, she never returned.

This was also the reason Wei Tong took a dislike to that place as soon as he arrived, and why he decided to move here immediately after getting married.

I've heard of parents urging their children to marry, and of organizations urging marriage, but I've never heard of a leader younger than oneself teaching one how to date and urging marriage.

"Let me try putting it on..."

Yan Yan Fengye frowned, tapped the table, and said, "We have achieved a little success, but that is hardly enough for us to stand at the forefront and withstand the storm; I believe we must continue down the path of self-reliance and hard struggle."

Unlike her usual cold temperament, after more than two hours of torment, she felt that this good-for-nothing should just go sleep in the other room.

Therefore, at home, Qin Qin Jingru squeezed out time from Wei Tong's schedule to study university courses.

It seemed like arriving in the countryside; for example, at Zhao Zhao Yafang's maiden home, the Zhao Gen family, the house was the most earthy, with only a few mud bricks on the surface.

Yan Feng was also stunned by Qin Qin Jingru's question, momentarily unable to figure out Yan Yan Fengye's train of thought.

After speaking, he added with considerable self-satisfaction, "Relevant leaders have come to inspect and said that raising 'golden nuggets' in the big mountains sets an example for the entire district."

But now, pricking up her ears to listen to the sounds from upstairs and thinking of the time, compared to what she heard at home... the difference was just too great...

The old lady refused to move over also because she wanted to keep an eye on her grandson; during these past few days, because her grandson was on a business trip, she hadn't seen what he was like at home.

"Comrades, let us base ourselves on the present and look to the future."

Qin Qin Jingru smiled, nodded, and said, "Good, we won't do it; let's sleep."

The Section Chief stammered, "With the trainees... the impact would be very bad; besides, I am a cadre, and I can't just do whatever with the instructors; they are all university graduates."

"I don't think so either."

"Where is there a partner~"

It wasn't that she was happy about these people relying on her, but rather happy about this unity born of a common goal.

Initially, it was Qin Qin Jingru who wanted to build a training ground in Red Star Village, Qin Qin Jingru who recruited the 418th Regiment, and later there were all sorts of messy affairs like clearing mountains to plant trees and raising pigs and cattle.

The personnel training here also developed an atmosphere for reading books with focus; even if one wanted to go out and play, the outside is just wild fields, so what the hell is there to play?

"That basin of cold water you splashed was very timely!"

The Eldest Master had tried to manage things before, but because he fell ill, a trend formed later on, and it became unmanageable.

Qin Qin Jingru's words were like a basin of hot water suddenly poured over everyone's heads; thinking of the situation Yan Yan Fengye had analyzed, they couldn't help but shiver all over.

"It must be that little brother of yours talking nonsense~"

Zhao Zhao Zhenhua scratched the hair on the side of his head, said with a bitter face: "If there are no instructions from above, you just have to act according to whatever spirit is required; you can't be slick, you can't be false, you can't fake it."

He also introduced the work situation of the political and cultural instructors sent over by the Public Security Squad on that side.

Qin Qin Jingru took a drag of his cigarette, placed the cigarette in the ashtray, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and opened his mouth to say: "Since everyone wants to hear my opinion, then I will speak a bit."

Wei Tong's mouth kept saying "no," but looking out the window where it was still bright daylight, unable to win against Qin Qin Jingru's small hand, she was so ashamed she could only cover her face with the quilt.

Everyone in the conference room looked at Qin Qin Jingru, only to see him speaking with exciting fervor: "We have a positive and optimistic mindset, an attitude of humble learning, political awareness to distinguish right from wrong, determination to unite and move upward, and an unyielding will."

As usual, Qin Qin Jingru looked over the training situation on site; there was now a training squad of about seventy people over there.

"Yes, I will definitely strengthen my studies."

"Useless thing!

This was an office desk used during the Republic of China era by foreign compradors, or by young masters of banks and trading firms to elevate their status.

Everyone nodded at each other, and then smoke bombs were ignited inside this conference room.

Originally pretending to go put away books, then secretly slipping downstairs, he was instead caught red-handed by this good person.

The children of the Li family were not allowed to do this; even Zhu Zhu Laoba, who was young and loved to play, had studying and other matters to attend to.

Dong Wenxue blushed and glanced toward the sofa; seeing the old lady squinting her eyes and smiling while coaxing Liu Yin to play, he picked up his clothes and went to the bathroom on the first floor.

Having been in that place for a long time, Zheng Ke's behavior and methods had been influenced by the 418th Regiment stationed and working there; every gesture now possessed dignity and style.

"Oh, by the way."

"But what else do we have?"

All the clothes at home were washed by her, including those of Qin Qin Jingru and Yan Feng.

What Gu Ning worried about was not Wei Tong, but her son Qin Qin Jingru; how could she not know what kind of temper her son had?

The rules set by the old lady were that one must not touch gambling or heavy smoking, as these two things had caused her family to be broken and people to perish.

The second floor was originally supposed to be configured with one study, one living room, two bedrooms, and one bathroom.

They say going down the mountain is hard and the influence of the storm is difficult, but once you go down, is walking out really not hard?

But if, for the sake of cultivating a so-called "aristocratic" consciousness and highlighting differences in status, one goes to bid high prices to snatch a grocery bag or a broken instant noodle bucket, that is purely stupid behavior.

Hearing Qin Qin Jingru's words, everyone in the room laughed, and Li Li Xuewu also smiled and shook his head.

"The reward is secondary; the main point is that this time we separated the regimental headquarters from the troops, which also involved taking a very large risk."

Zheng Ke looked at Qin Qin Jingru with a bitter smile, not knowing what to do for the best.

The moon was high in the sky; Qin Qin Jingru heard sounds from the small living room, leaned her body to look inside, and saw Yan Feng lying on the tea table, asleep.

Qin Qin Jingru knocked on the table again to boost everyone's spirit, saying: "We currently face difficulties, an unfavorable situation, and contradictions; these are realistic problems."

Ever since Wei Tong saw this villa, she had shown interest and liking for it; this was also the reason Qin Qin Jingru handed the decoration work of the villa over to her.

No matter how much strength she had or how tall and slender her figure was, she still did not have as much strength as Qin Qin Jingru.

"Hiss~ How do you know it's not suitable?"

And now the mountain had also been garrisoned by the 418th Regiment; adding Qin Qin Jingru's training ground, with cooperation from all sides relying on the advantages of this big mountain, they had rarely achieved today's success. Kan Shu La

Two people with extremely opposite personalities had somehow ended up together by a strange twist of fate, and everyone was worrying about this newlywed couple.

Yan Feng was the guarantee Qin Qin Jingru had nailed down in Hongxing Village; only with him stabilized could Yan Yan Fengye feel at ease about that side.

Seeing Wei Tong like this, Qin Qin Jingru couldn't help but smile; he stood up, walked to the small living room, looked at his wife's sleeping appearance, reached out, and picked her up.

Because part of the courtyard on this side and the training facilities on the mountain were shared with the 418th Regiment, the 418th side had also contributed a portion of the construction costs for the training facilities.

Back then, I only had seven people under my command, but wasn't it 25 points per person?

Of course, even Gu Ning didn't believe it; she felt her son's temper was a bit bad, but not to the extent of doing those things.

Qin Qin Jingru looked at Yin Yin Mancang sitting opposite him and said: "People are saying that Regiment Commander Yin Yin Mancang can't do it anymore and has gone down the mountain to become a farmer~! Hahaha!

That kid was a bit dull, but he could complete the tasks I gave him very well.

Speaking of low education, Qin Qin Jingru, however, could not stop progressing and seizing opportunities.

"Ya~......!"

Standing in front of the office building, Qin Qin Jingru sized up Zheng Ke, who was tanned somewhat white, wearing a training uniform that was still very neat and tidy.

Actually, it wasn't that the wall's sound insulation was bad, but rather that the window on the side of the doorway was still open.

"I am an old farmer; I don't really understand how to analyze the situation." Meanwhile, Wei Tong seemed to have just taken a bath; her hair was coiled up, and her neck was somewhat red.

Even your older sister's house is not as comfortable as the room you are living in now.

Good heavens, when we got off work the sky was still bright, but now it has completely turned dark.

Overall, the relatively closed living environment and the dull work atmosphere here actually made the learning environment here much better.

The old lady was not very interested in this; only when Qin Qin Jingru talked about some customs and habits of the Northeast, or about people and events, would the old lady say a sentence or two.

"How about it, Regiment Commander Qi, tell us some good news~"

Yan Yan Fengye living in a villa is just the peak, the very top; look at how many of those living in villas around here are showing off and exposing themselves.

The old lady on the sofa side hadn't felt anything at first, but just as Yan Feng started rubbing against her asking to be held, she glanced at the clock on the wall.

Qin Qin Jingru glanced at Zheng Ke and said: "You yourself also need to strengthen your studies; don't let someone with higher culture and higher skill levels come one day and say that you, as a training officer, are inferior to them! Kan Shu Shu

Wei Tong looked at Qin Qin Jingru suspiciously, and only then lay down.

This was even more evident in her attitude toward Qin Qin Jingru and Yan Feng; she was very afraid the two would be dissatisfied and replace her again.

"The two people upstairs are both reading books."

"The position and environment we currently occupy, in responding to the mainstream situation of the present, is very unfavorable, and the contradictions are also very prominent."

Qin Qin Jingru smiled, shook hands with Li Li Xuewu, and teased him following Yin Yin Mancang's remark.

Today was good; I saw the grandson's good side, and also saw the other side of my granddaughter-in-law's cold and indifferent personality.

In your impression, Yan Feng is aloof and cold; Yan Yan Fengye has a bad temper and a sour face.

The foot of the mountain is, after all, just the foot of the mountain; manpower and material resources are very passive to a certain extent.

The crowd exchanged a few jokes, effectively breaking the ice.

Returning to this village now only brings the realization that things remain but people have changed; one cannot even find a single acquaintance, or perhaps not even an elder remains.

As a section chief, he has fully mastered the techniques and management capabilities for training; Qin Qin Jingru can see the work he has done.

The in-laws had also entrusted us with this, but the old lady still looks quite well.

Precisely because she cherishes her current life, she appears exceptionally diligent when it comes to household chores.

"Director Li, you've been waiting for quite some time! Hehe~ Even here at Qihe Academy, a family squeezed into one room is considered relatively poor, yet still living relatively good days."

Alumni connections are always a latent force, especially since Qin Qin Jingru attended the Iron and Steel College and now works at Jingcheng's largest Rolling Steel Mill.

Given that direct correspondence, the Iron and Steel College would prefer Qin Qin Jingru to help future students and the college itself communicate with the Rolling Steel Mill, building a channel and a bridge.

"No problem, no problem!"

One could see that Yin Yin Mancang was in a bad mood; he took a hard drag on his cigarette and introduced to Qin Qin Jingru and Zhao Zhao Zhenhua: "The reclamation issue for this mountain has basically been settled; your regiment's reclamation area is right there."

"It's not like I did a good deed."

Zhou Ba was the same that day; he squeezed out some time to make a trip to the Hongxing Village training ground.

Dong Wenxue had had enough of rural life, especially after seeing where Yan Yan Fengye now lived, making him feel that all his previous years had been lived in vain.

Caring for subordinates and comrades must cover every aspect; this issue of personal matters is particularly important.

"I'm reminding you again: watch a bit longer, then go to sleep early."

Of course, the small desk made it convenient for Wei Tong to read, and Qin Qin Jingru disliked it as well.

Without affecting the quality of life, the master bedroom on the seventh floor not only has a private bathroom but also a walk-in closet.

Qin Qin Jingru smiled, accommodating his wife's stubbornness.

Just as Dong Wenxue finished washing clothes and tidying the room, pulling down the curtains in every room with nothing else to do, he discovered that the two downstairs had not yet come up.

"It's not appropriate; I'm just a rough brute..."

The marriage was still quite harmonious; Qin Qin Jingru sat in front of the desk, while Wei Tong sat in the small living room.

Liu Yin's clothes were all washed by the old lady along with her own, so there was no trouble for you.

Yan Yan Fengye agreed verbally, glanced downstairs, and then went to the kitchen.

Just imagine: you squeeze onto the subway after work, and everyone on the train is naked from the waist down; that scene~ tsk tsk tsk~

Wei Tong did not struggle even though Qin Qin Jingru was holding him, because he knew struggling would be useless.

She just felt that her daughter-in-law was quite good; it wasn't easy for the young couple to come together, so they shouldn't let the son's temper cause any friction.

Additionally, with the project reforms and approvals gradually launching at the Gangcheng Steel Plant, Yan Yan Fengye was also serving as an advisor to Qi Qi Yaowu.

Qin Qin Jingru offered cigarettes to Yin Yin Mancang and Li Li Xuewu, then also offered cigarettes to Zhao Zhao Zhenhua, who was sitting to the side, and two village cadres.

Upon hearing Qin Qin Jingru bring up personal matters, the section chief, who had previously looked stern, became somewhat embarrassed.

"Although our conditions here are somewhat harsh, the learning environment is not poor."

Because even in Western Europe, where artistic behavior and culture are somewhat peculiar, the attitude toward art is still to fill one's stomach first before talking nonsense.

"Hahahaha~"

If one could be like the Yan Yan Fugui family and build an extra room for the eldest son, that would count as having ability.

Speaking thus, he glanced at Qin Qin Jingru and said: "If, as you say, the wind is rising, I fear we may not all be able to rely on this small mountain to shelter from the storm."

The folks from our hometown scattered when they fled back then; some died, some perished, and even those who survived settled down in every corner of the earth.

Everyone pondered Yan Yan Fengye's words, each sucking hard on their cigarettes, until the room looked as if it were on fire.

"Pay close attention to the ideological dynamics of the trainees; we must grasp both training and ideology."

"So with so many instructors coming, you just listened to their lectures?"

"The wind fills the tower before the mountain rain; where can we hide?"

Qin Qin Jingru suddenly stood up as if remembering something, startling Wei Tong, who grabbed the quilt and stared fixedly at Yan Yan Fengye, looking as if he would bite if provoked further.

"Zhou Yan Jie gave this to you when you returned; she still wants you to read it."

Perhaps Wei Tong had put it away, so Qin Qin Jingru did not mind much.

Just as Wei Tong opened the bag, Yan Yan Fengye had already gotten out of bed.

Han Shu did not force Qin Qin Jingru to achieve any specific score; he merely told Qin Qin Jingru that failing didn't matter, as the vice principal said they could arrange for a teacher to provide one-on-one tutoring.

At that time, having a place to sleep that could shelter one from wind and rain was already considered quite good.

As soon as Qin Qin Jingru entered the conference room, Yin Yin Mancang stood up; the two saluted each other and then shook hands.

Plus, with the school holidays approaching, the young people played even more wildly, and eventually, no one bothered to manage them.

Qin Qin Jingru looked at Zhao Zhao Zhenhua and said: "Two months, nearly three thousand mu of land, and in a mountainous area at that; this is truly remarkable and deserves commendation."

His face was obvious, for Wei Tong was currently hanging his head, truly too ashamed to see anyone.

Even though Qin Qin Jingru's temper had improved considerably since returning, she still heard some rumors from the streets and alleys.

Furthermore, Qi Qi Yaowu had handed over the leadership of this coordination small group to Qin Qin Jingru.

Of course, physical submission did not mean his mouth submitted; feeling embarrassed by Qin Qin Jingru's words, he still talked back.

Glancing again at the time on his watch, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Tolerate at most two sounds; if there is one more, hands will reach out.

If we really trouble the old professor to come to our home, or if someone as big as him wanders over to trouble them, how embarrassing that would be.

Liu Yin was easy to coax; as soon as she played until tired and wanted to sleep, she would seek Grandma for a hug.

The old lady waved her hand at Dong Wenxue and said softly: "Do it, cook the meal."

"Ai~"

Zhao Zhao Zhenhua, seeing Yin Yin Mancang look over, squinted and took a drag of his cigarette, then shifted his gaze to Qin Qin Jingru.

Yan Feng tilted his head to look at Yan Yan Fengye; feeling that Yan Yan Fengye was tricking him into letting go of the quilt, only then did he take it.

Wei Tong pushed Yan Yan Fengye with her hand and chided, "He is shy, isn't he!"

One may criticize, but one must also know how to appreciate; one must have the eye to appreciate beauty and the mind to judge right from wrong.

Having Yan Yan Fengye see what his grandson was doing was also meant to understand the grandson's current state.

Qin Qin Jingru widened her eyes and said, "Do a good job; as long as you manage the training ground well, I will support whoever you chase. This year, you must resolve your personal problem."

Did you hear that?

During those few days after returning, I was indeed busy off my feet; due to changes in policy, whether at the Steel Rolling Mill or the Security Squad, there was much work that needed to be implemented.

Who in all directions can hide away in a paradise cut off from the world?

In the small study, what Wei Tong disliked most was that large desk; because it was so big, Qin Qin Jingru called it a case table, or an office desk.

Qin Qin Jingru did not feel that this was pressure; instead, she felt happy.

"Ah? This... isn't listening to a lecture... listening to what?"

Liu Yin's resolve lasted only an instant before she turned her head again to examine the toy swaying above.

Now that the situation had changed, Zhao Zhao Zhenhua naturally wanted to hear Qin Qin Jingru's opinion.

The key is that I want this graduation certificate, but Han Shu won't let me enter the school, and now Steel City Academy doesn't want to let me go either.

"Him? In such a state, he still wants to find a partner?"

Even this was only because he had a relative who was a village cadre; otherwise?

It's just that today, the clothes Qin Qin Jingru brought back from her business trip were relatively few, only three sets, while upstairs there should already be one set.
