Chapter 24: Friends of the New Year
24. Friends who forget the year
"Xiaoqiang, I'm Yang Yu, after eating the soul rejuvenation grass you brought, Xiaoxue has woken up, her body has fully recovered, and her black and thick hair has grown anew, our family really doesn't know how to thank you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThank you, thank you so much. You're a very nice boy, young man, and if you help me, I'll do my best to help you get the fish right. ”
Teacher Yang Yu called and told Zhang Xiaoqiang the good news as soon as possible, his voice was a little choked, obviously he couldn't hide his excitement and emotion.
"Teacher Yang, congratulations, great, this is more than 20 days before the college entrance examination, like Yang Xue's foundation is so good, this period of time should not have much impact on her studies. Mr. Yang, I have grown some jade cabbage in my field, and the taste is very good, or I will cut two and send them to you in a hurry. ”
Jade cabbage? It's a pity that my research is limited to the field of aquatic products, and I don't know much about these vegetables and fruits. But this young man is destined for me, with my family, there are a few cabbages at home who are worried about me, this guy is really sincere. It's good to have such a good friend, and it's good to forget the year.
Zhang Xiaoqiang cut three jade cabbages and sent them to Teacher Yang Yu's house, Yang Xue had already gone to school, and the school was in the final sprint review before the college entrance examination, and it could not be delayed for a moment.
Teacher Tan Bijun also ate at school at noon and didn't go home, Teacher Yang Yu didn't know how to cook, so he fried a stack of peanuts, bought a few cans of canned fish, and Zhang Xiaoqiang fried half of the jade cabbage he brought over. Teacher Yang Yu took out a bottle of Moutai that had been treasured for a long time from the cabinet and greeted: "Xiaoqiang, let's drink some good wine today and celebrate." ”
"Don't, don't, Mr. Yang, this wine is too expensive, don't open it, I won't drink, it's a waste to drink such a good wine."
"Hey, this wine was bought more than ten years ago to prepare for gifts, but it was not given out, and it was left until now, isn't it just a bottle of wine, you can buy it again after drinking, as long as you have money, what kind of good wine can't be bought, but to make a fortune, you must rely on wisdom, knowledge, and labor, and do some fair and righteous causes, and you must not be corrupt and bribe-taking, and engage in crooked ways."
Teacher Yang still insisted on opening the bottle of wine, and said with a smile: "This is also a stain on me, Xiaoqiang, come, let's completely eliminate this stain today." There is no food, but the key to drinking depends on what kind of person you drink with. Xiaoqiang, I think that you, a college student who graduated from Agricultural University, did not go to the coastal areas, nor did you stay in the big city to find a decent job, have a comfortable life, and dare to go back to the countryside to engage in agriculture and start a business. Come, let's first toast to one more young talent in the agricultural field of our county. ”
"Teacher Yang Yu, you are a senior I admire, no matter how you behave and do things, you are worthy of my lifelong learning, you really lift me up."
"I don't go to the provincial capital, I refuse the high-paying invitation of the CEO of a large aquatic company, and take root in the small county town of Pingxi, I can still make a difference in the field of aquatic research that I love. But I suggest you don't learn from me, Mr. Yang's generation has no concept of money, it was your wife who took the initiative to pursue me, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law did not deliberately object, I married your master and mother into the family for a total of less than 1,000 yuan, so your wife always complained that I suffered with me in my life, and I lost a lot when I married me. But I love aquatic research, and if I invest some of my scientific research results in shares, I can share a lot of dividends every year while I sit down. But I am a state worker, the country has trained me, the country has given me a platform to display my talents, although it is a county-level water plant research institute, but this is enough, the platform does not care about the size, it depends on whether your heart sinks down, Archimedes said that as long as he is given a long enough bamboo pole, he can pry up the earth. I have been in Pingxi County for 20 years, the aquaculture business in Pingxi County has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, many people engaged in aquaculture have gradually bulged their pockets, life is better, I think the upper is worthy of the country, the lower is worthy of the people, our work has been duly respected and rewarded, the government gave me the honor, to the breeding household as a guest, people have always regarded me as a relative, and I have a salary, medical care and pension are guaranteed, Xiaoxue is so competitive, think about why people want so much money in this life. It's good to be able to get a little poorer, a little simpler, and be content and happy. ”
"Teacher Yang, come, come, on behalf of the people of the county, I would like to toast to your outstanding contribution to the development of aquatic industry in our county."
"Alas, my contribution is not enough, I have been a little idle in my life, if there is any achievement, the biggest achievement is my Yang Xue. Come, come, cheers for my Yang Xue to restore her beauty and health. Oh, and by the way, there's one more very important thing I forgot to tell you. I applied to the head of the Fisheries Bureau for a research grant on giant fingerlings. Although the amount is not much, it is not easy for you to start a business as a young person, and this fund will help you somewhat. ”
Teacher Yang Yu stood up and ran into his study, took a brown paper envelope and handed it to Zhang Xiaoqiang: "Here is 20,000 yuan, if it is not enough, I will continue to find a way to raise funds, it has always been a wish of mine to find and cultivate this giant fish species." I'm sure there will be a day when I will be proud of my eyebrows. ”
Although 20,000 yuan is not much, it is enough to solve Zhang Xiaoqiang's urgent need.
This person is emotional, he helped Mr. Yang Yu solve the difficulties, and Mr. Yang Yu also generously repaid him, but this money is the country's money, if he spends it indiscriminately, he is not only sorry for Mr. Yang Yu's expectations, but also sorry for those taxpayers, so Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that this money was heavy, and resolutely stated his attitude: "Mr. Yang, please rest assured, I promise to use every money on the blade, worthy of you, and the country's trust." We must let these 20,000 yuan generate a value of 200 million or more. ”
"Don't be too optimistic about scientific research, don't be too pessimistic, be prepared for all kinds of failures and sacrifices, I have my own principles of being a person and doing things, and I am a state functionary, I can't use the country's resources to do my own personal things and make personal money, otherwise what is the difference with those corrupt elements? Xiaoqiang, you are different, on the one hand, you can assist me in scientific research, and on the other hand, you do not receive a salary from the state, so you don't need to avoid any suspicion, you can let go of your hands and feet to earn your own money. If you start a large-scale aquaculture business in the future, I can give you a consultant for free, but that will only be after I retire. ”
"Mr. Yang, I believe that we will have a day of in-depth cooperation. If I want to develop an aquaculture company, I not only want to engage in freshwater aquaculture, I also want to develop marine aquaculture, I not only want to engage in the breeding of popular varieties, but also to develop the cultivation of rare and exotic aquatic products, not only in China, but also to develop this cause to all parts of the world. Mr. Yang, it is too condescending for you to be a consultant, and it is almost the same as asking you to be the chairman of the aquatic group company. ”
"Haha, haha, chairman, I don't know what it's like to be the chairman, your wife always scolds me for not wanting to make progress, standing still for decades, and having no interest. I don't know if if I become the chairman of the board of directors, will the chairman's wife still complain about me? Just kidding, oh, by the way, this jade cabbage you brought tastes really good, it's very special, I've never eaten cabbage with such a good taste. Come, come, come, keep drinking. Drinking Moutai with cabbage is really special. But Xiaoqiang, this cabbage can be called the Moutai of cabbage. If this variety is developed well and the brand is established, maybe cabbage can be sold at the price of pork. ”
"Mr. Yang, your tip is so correct, I have plans in this regard, if I can build a high-end cabbage brand, sell our cabbage into the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, sell it into the Great Hall of the People, and sell it to major five-star, six-star and seven-star hotels, this ordinary cabbage will also become unusual."
"Yes, yes, yes, you young people are active in thinking, broad in thinking, don't be afraid of failure, just follow this line of thinking. It's not a big deal to fail and start all over again. ”
After eating a big bowl of cabbage, the canned fish and peanuts haven't moved much, because compared with this cabbage, these canned fish and peanuts can't arouse people's appetite, and they drank more than half of a pound of Moutai, and Mr. Yang Yu and Zhang Xiaoqiang both had a slightly drunk feeling.
"Teacher Yang, thank you for your hospitality, I have to say goodbye, after returning to the village, I have to arrange for people to hurry up and renovate the fish pond, and when the renovation is completed, I will notify you to let you go to the acceptance."
"Good boy, come on. I'm optimistic about you. It seems that there is another very important matter, you see that I can't drink enough, and I am a little confused after drinking less than two taels, and I will tell you when I think about it. Teacher Yang Yu's face was flushed, and he stood up and patted Zhang Xiaoqiang's shoulder to show recognition and encouragement.
