Chen Qingdong chatted with this enthusiastic old man.

"Uncle, what do you call it?" Chen Qingdong said with a smile, "There are so many people in the car, I can't invite you to smoke." ”

"No smoking! No smoking! I had a bit of emphysema and quit smoking. The old man laughed.

"By the way, Wenhai and I are from our own family, my name is Xie Benshun, speaking of which, Xie Wenhai is still my nephew!" The old man said again, but when he said this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and it was fleeting, and Chen Qingdong didn't care.

Chen Qingdong didn't know what to call this Xie Benshun, because he had already called Xie Wenhai uncle, according to his seniority, he should be called this Xie Benshun's grandfather, but this was obviously inappropriate.

"That's ...... for me"

Xie Benshun is also an understanding person, and saw the embarrassment of Chen Qingdong's bad name, and took the initiative to say: "Cadre Chen, although I am a little related to Wenhai, but each parent is called by his own name, don't care about the generation, if you look up to me, you still call me uncle, otherwise it's okay to call me Lao Xie!" ”

"Hehe, then let's call you uncle!" Chen Qingdong laughed, he felt that this Xie Benshun was really interesting, and it would always be easier to chat with interesting people.

"Uncle Benshun, what do you usually do to make a living?"

"Hey, I'm just a mud leg, and I usually just farm the ground."

"Oh, the harvest is okay, right?"

"I can earn enough to eat, but I can't save money! My youngest son was admitted to university last year, and the tuition fee for a year is four or five thousand, plus living expenses or something, I have to save money for several years to be enough for him for a year! ”

When Xie Benshun said this, although he said that life was very difficult, the expression on his face was filled with a kind of irrepressible happiness. Yes, in the countryside, it is not easy to provide for a college student, and parents should indeed be proud.

Moreover, for the old farmers whose ancestors lived in the countryside and could only dig in the fields, because they had no background, no connections, no knowledge, no economic foundation, and no other way out except for going out to work and do manual work, there was no future at all, so their only hope in this life was pinned on their children, hoping that the children could one day change this fate through their own efforts!

And the most intuitive way for children to change their destiny is to be admitted to university, and after graduation, they can enter government agencies, have a formal establishment, hold an iron rice bowl, and eat imperial food, so they don't have to worry for a lifetime!

That's why this old man Xie Benshun said that after his son was admitted to college, he would be so proud.

It's just that the income of rural people is too low, except for farming, there are few other sources of income, just to provide for a college student, the phenomenon of returning to poverty due to education often appears, which is China's GDP growth at a double-digit rate every year, the development of urbanization is also changing with each passing day, the rural areas that have begun to wither are very sad.

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but think of a sentence: China's economic development in recent years has come at the expense of the peasants' interests.

He has not studied these contents specifically, so he is not completely sure whether this sentence is correct or not, but as a child who grew up in the countryside, he is also very much looking forward to the day when China's economic development reaches a certain level, he can help the peasants well, so that they can also share the dividends of reform.

Looking at Xie Benshun's face full of the vicissitudes of time, but his face was full of smiles, Chen Qingdong intended to make him happier, so he asked, "Uncle Benshun, which university did your son study?" ”

"My son is studying at Xi'an Jiaotong University!" Xie Benshun said proudly, "His college entrance examination score is the first in our county!" I heard his teacher say that it would be enough for him to apply for Peking University, but he didn't dare to fill in such a good volunteer before the exam, so he applied for Xi'an Jiaotong University! ”

Chen Qingdong immediately respected Xie Benshun!

Xi'an Jiaotong University, although not as famous as Tsinghua University and Peking University, is at least one of the top 20 universities in China!

Chen Qingdong's academic performance was also very good when he was in high school, and he was finally admitted to Huaihai University, which is also a key university selected for the national 211 project, but compared with Xi'an Jiaotong University, there is still a gap with Xi'an Jiaotong University in terms of academic achievements, teaching and research funds, social influence and cultural heritage.

In addition, Chen Qingdong's sister Chen Yuan is now studying clinical medicine at the Fourth Military Medical University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, another famous university in Xi'an, and may know Xie Benshun's youngest son!

Chen Qingdong praised from the bottom of his heart this time: "Uncle Benshun, your son is studying at one of the most famous universities in the country, amazing, your son is really competitive!" ”

"Hehe, thank you Cadre Chen for the compliment!" Xie Benshun said happily, "But my kid is really angry, he asked me for tuition and living expenses in the first year of college, and now he has a scholarship from the school, and he also works while going to school, so he doesn't ask me for money at all, and sometimes he will call me for some money!" ”

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Uncle, you have really cultivated a good son!" By the way, uncle, what's your son's name? Do you know what he studied? ”

"My son's name is Xie Wenzhen, and he seems to be on ...... Be...... That's right! Xie Benshun patted his thigh and said, "School of Management!" ”

"Oh, awesome!" Chen Qingdong exclaimed, "In the future, when your son graduates, he will definitely be a leader!" ”

Xie Benshun is also very good at things, and said: "Cadre Chen, you will definitely have to be a big official in the future, and you must promote my boy when the time comes!" ”

Chen Qingdong smiled and said: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about this, after your son graduates, he will definitely not be willing to go back to our small place, it is estimated that he will stay in the big city and enter a big enterprise!" ”

Xie Benshun shook his head this time and said: "It's not okay for my kid to graduate and enter the company, how unstable it is!" I still have to enter the organ, and with the establishment, I will have an iron rice bowl! Besides, if you work in a company, even if you earn a lot of money, you are still a part-time worker, a temporary worker! If you enter the agency, you will be a regular worker! ”

Chen Qingdong couldn't laugh at Xie Benshun's theory of "temporary worker status and formal worker status", now it is a market-oriented economic society, and the former set of theories is no longer suitable, if you do a good job in the enterprise, you will still have money and status, no worse than in the organs.

However, Chen Qingdong also understands that in a remote and backward place like Liulin County, in the depths of people's minds, what they believe in is still the official standard, and the standard for measuring success is how big the official is, which is much more important than simply being rich!

Thinking of this, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but think of himself again, obviously he now has the opportunity to go to the sea to make money, but he wants to mix up the career with one heart, isn't this the idea of the official standard at work?

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

However, he soon understood that he was so determined to take the road of official career, in addition to the idea of official position, more importantly, he was not so keen on money, and taking the career was his ideal!

Ideal is sometimes just an ethereal word, but sometimes, it is everything, and it is all the meaning of life.

After chatting a few more words, Xie Benshun said: "Cadre Chen, your farm will definitely recruit workers after it is set up, right?" ”

"That's right." Chen Qingdong said.

"Then ......" Xie Benshun's face showed a trace of embarrassment just now, and he whispered, "Cadre Chen, when the time comes to recruit workers, can you count me as one?" ”

After finishing speaking, Xie Benshun was afraid that Chen Qingdong would refuse, so he hurriedly explained: "Cadre Chen, don't look at me old, in fact, I am not very old, I am just fifty years old, I just work in the field every day, I look old!" My body is still hard, and I can do anything! You can go to the village and ask about farm work, and if anyone says that he is better at work than me, ask him to come to me for a competition! ”

A middle-aged man who knew Xie Benshun next to him heard Xie Benshun's words, so he smiled and echoed: "Yes, Cadre Chen, Lao Xie's work is absolutely first-class!" ”

Xie Benshun didn't think anything when he praised himself just now, but now when others praise him, he is a little embarrassed, smiled shyly, and said: "Cadre Chen, I'm not bragging, what I said is true!" ”

Chen Qingdong felt that this Xie Benshun was even more interesting, and what he asked for was not a big deal, so he said: "Uncle, I can see that you must be a good hand!" After the farm is set up, it may have to recruit a lot of people, this matter is in charge of Uncle Wen Hai, you and Uncle Wen Hai are relatives, just say hello to him in advance! ”

Xie Benshun laughed wryly again, there was no interface.

Chen Qingdong looked at Xie Benshun's appearance, and thought that there might be something else in it, so he asked, "Uncle Benshun, do you think this is inappropriate?" ”

Xie Benshun said embarrassedly: "Cadre Chen, there is nothing inappropriate about this, it's just ...... It is...... I was embarrassed to talk to Wen Hai. ”

"Huh, why is that?"

"Well, that's what happened!" Xie Benshun sighed, approached Chen Qingdong, and whispered, "Didn't Wenhai also set up a chicken farm last year?" At that time, when he ran a chicken farm, he didn't have enough money, so he also approached me and wanted to borrow a few thousand yuan from me. I really had a few thousand yuan in my hand at that time, but at that time, my kid was about to take the college entrance examination, and my thousands of dollars were the tuition fees for my kid. Wenhai told me that he would use it for a few months, and when my kid was admitted to college, he would return the money to me, and there would be no delay. But I was afraid that if something happened and delayed my boy's college education, I would have to regret it for the rest of my life, so I gritted my teeth and didn't lend it to him. ”

"Wen Hai didn't borrow money from me, and he didn't say anything, but since then, when I meet Wen Hai again, I have a bit of a diaphragm, right? Now I want to go to the farm to do some work, save some money for my boy, and give him a marriage and daughter-in-law in the future, but I'm really embarrassed to talk to Wenhai! ”

After saying this, Xie Wenhai raised his head and looked at Chen Qingdong's eyes, and pleaded: "Cadre Chen, I have to ask you for help in this matter." ”

Chen Qingdong was silent for a while after hearing this, this kind of thing, no one is right or wrong, but it will indeed make the two of them feel embarrassed.

Then he thought that Xie Benshun gave Xu Yuanyuan a seat so enthusiastically in the car, it turned out to be for this kind of thing, and now even an old farmer begged someone to do something, he knew that he would "give some gifts" first, this society is really realistic!

However, Chen Qingdong was also willing to help Xie Wenhai, so he agreed: "Uncle Benshun, this is handed over to me, don't worry, the farm is built, and you will definitely be left a job." ”

Xie Benshun's face flushed with joy, and he said repeatedly: "Thank you so much, Cadre Chen!" ”
