When Zhang Guangming heard Qin Chun and Li Zhongqiu say that they wanted to engage in agricultural machinery manufacturing, but they didn't know where to start, he was extremely excited.

He said to the two of them, then I'll take you to the agricultural machinery expert in the evening.

The two educated youths were a little unconvinced, how could there be any experts in this poor village?

Zhang Guangming knew that Professor Guo was very depressed during this time, and if he could have two apprentices, it would also relieve his depressed mood.

But I don't know if he agrees to accept apprentices.

He went to ask Professor Guo about it.

Professor Guo was very worried that the two intellectuals would betray him.

"Please rest assured about this, I know two educated youths." Zhang Guangming said to Professor Guo.

He suddenly remembered something, so he said, "When the vacation of the few educated youths who asked for leave is over, they will return to our village."

At that time, I will arrange for those people to participate in the labor elsewhere.

And let these two educated youths go to the original seed base during the day to help us cultivate new varieties, and come to learn agricultural machinery manufacturing with you at night? ”

Professor Guo's face was full of doubt: "Is this okay?" ”

"Why not? Let's have a bright plank road and a dark Chen Cang, right? Zhang Guangming asked in a pleading tone.

Professor Guo thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, just do what you arranged."

"That's good, I can rest assured that I can bring two aspiring educated youths here." Zhang Guangming said happily.

In the evening, the two educated youths followed Zhang Guangming and walked out of the gate of the brigade courtyard, doubting all the way, speculating that they came to a house with a fairly large courtyard.

This is a house with two doors facing north and south.

Entering through the first door, I saw a large orchard of flowers and fruits in the moonlight, and the fruit trees were swaying.

Some have already borne fruit, and some are in bloom, and the flowers are charming and moving.

After passing through the second gate on the south side, you will enter a courtyard house.

The five main rooms are tall and wide blue brick and gray tiles, and the other side rooms are also two-story buildings.

As soon as they stepped into the main house, they saw an old mahogany table and chair from the Qing Dynasty placed on the back wall of the main entrance of the large living room, and a pot of gorgeous peony flowers and a pot of pothos were placed at each end of the long strip behind the table.

On the ground on the left, against the wall, there are pots of pink, bright red, and orange fairy flowers in full bloom.

On the circle chair sat an old man with glasses, facing in, intently studying the contents of a book under a kerosene lamp.

Looks like he's in a trance.

He didn't even notice the visit of Zhang Guangming and the two educated youths.

They saw the reddish-brown paint on the old-fashioned tables and chairs of the Qing Dynasty shining red, and they were carved with delicate flowers and birds.

The two educated youths knew the generosity of this family in the past.

On the right side of the room, there is a small round table carved with flowers and birds in mahogany, and six small chairs carved in mahogany are arranged around the table.

On the right, against the wall, there is a watery bookshelf carved from old mahogany.

In the middle of the top of the bookshelf, there is a pot of white and elegant daffodils in full bloom, and several pots of morning glory of various colors are placed on both sides, and the green leaves of the flowers hang from the top of the bookshelf.

There are a lot of books stored in the shelves!

In Muyehua Village, people regard morning glory as an ominous flower, saying that if they raise this kind of flower at home, they will make bowls, so the villagers call morning glory a bowl flower.

Therefore, the villagers categorically do not keep morning glory at home.

But the middle-aged man didn't care, he thought it was all superstitious.

Although this house looks very shabby, with the foil of these old mahogany high-end furniture, it looks high-end and simple and elegant, and with the embellishment of these pots of flowers, it is a bit elegant and interesting.

On the ground below the bookshelf are pots of delicate flowers.

There are white, yellow, purple ...... The colors are different, like colorful butterflies spreading their wings.

The decoration of the flowers sets off the whole house to make the environment elegant and interesting.

On the walls hang the poems with vigorous and free words.

There is a poem written on it:

Determined to climb the mountain road diligently,

Enjoy the sea of literature and study hard.

Don't seek fame and fortune Mountain Snow Lotus,

Humility and dedication.

It shows that the owner of the house is a humble person who is not only elegant and tasteful, but also self-motivated and broad-minded.

"Reading, big brother?" Zhang Guangming's call made Lao Guo tremble.

Professor Guo immediately turned his head and stood up from his seat, holding his glasses with his hand to see that it was them, and immediately gave up his seat very enthusiastically.

The professor looked into the courtyard very cautiously and asked uneasily: "Guangming, you brought them to my house without being discovered by others, right?" ”

Zhang Guangming understood what he meant, so he hurriedly said, "No." ”

After learning about their personalities through Zhang Guangming, Professor Guo was very fond of these two young people.

He smiled and invited them to sit down and talk.

Zhang Guangming turned to the two educated youths and said, "Let me introduce you solemnly - this is ...... It is Professor Guo Aimin, a returnee doctor.

He is a mechanical expert from the Provincial Machinery Research Institute! I want to say that Professor Guo, you are very strange, and his lover has now been promoted to the head of the Provincial Art Troupe, ah it is Chen Xiaoying Chen. You probably know each other. ”

Their mouths opened wide in astonishment, and they nodded in apparent shock.

"Captain Chen, we know each other." The two intellectuals replied together.

"Head Chen went to the school to perform "Red Lantern" for the students, and the beautiful head Chen played the hero Tiemei, she is the goddess in the minds of the two." Li Zhongqiu said specifically.

The two of them saw the "old man" with glasses and a scruffy beard in front of them, isn't this the old man who picks up dung like a stuffy gourd every day?

How could it be the husband of that beautiful and capable head Chen?

The two intellectuals looked at each other suspiciously, and then turned to Professor Guo to take a closer look.

They recognized him after taking such a closer look, because when they were in high school, they had represented the high school students of the school to the train station, and together with the leaders of the province, they formed a grand welcome ceremony to welcome the personable and famous returnee doctors!

The two of them looked at each other excitedly, turned to Professor Guo together, and asked in unison, "Professor Guo, why did you fall into the trap of picking up dung?" ”

The two of them looked at Professor Guo's face with very surprised expressions.

Professor Guo immediately brought over a teapot with a beautifully carved ceramic green glaze, on which were placed a teapot with carved green glaze and four teacups.

He poured hot tea for both of them, and handed each of them a cup with a sad face.

The two of them immediately stood up, with respectful expressions on their faces, took the teacup with both hands and said, "Thank you!" ”

Then the two of them sat down in their chairs.

Professor Guo sat solemnly and told his two intellectuals in detail how he was persecuted and fell into the trap of dung.

Qin Chun listened, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes erupted with fire.

He said: "If I see it, I will have to come to him with an auspicious dragon and slap the rebel leader with a panda eye!" ”

When he heard again that the rebels said that the professor was a spy and that Professor Guo had been beaten with multiple fractures on his body, he was even more angry.

Qin Chun said angrily, "They are guilty of wanting to add to it, so there is no excuse for it!" They are clearly making excuses and framing good people! It's disgusting that those brutes should shoot so hard! Qin Chun asked Professor Guo with confusion, "Then no one stood up to uphold justice at that time?" ”

Zhang Guangming thought to himself: It seems that this educated youth is a compassionate and kind person.

Professor Guo said: "When everyone heard the earth-shaking slogans from afar, everyone seemed to smell blood.

When the leaders and colleagues saw that they had framed me, they hurriedly defended me, but the rebels tied them all up and gaged them!

When you encounter these brutal people, there is nothing they can do! ”

Professor Guo still trembled when he mentioned the shocking thing.

After hearing the professor's tragic experience, the two intellectuals wept silently and burst into tears.

Li Zhongqiu's tears flowed down her cheeks to her hands, and she said very angrily: "Professor Guo, you have suffered such a great grievance!

Professor Guo, you are so pitiful.

I didn't know that there were such vicious people in the world!"

Her tears flowed down her cheeks.

She added, "Who are they? They are clearly a group of fierce beasts in human skin! ”

Zhang Guangming secretly observed, and he found that Li Zhongqiu was first angry, and then wept like rain of grief.

He dared to conclude that this was a good girl who was empathetic and kind-hearted.

He thought to himself: they are indeed malleable!

The two people asked in unison: "If we want to learn from the professor and learn agricultural machinery manufacturing technology from you, are you willing to accept us as an apprentice?" The two intellectuals looked at Professor Guo with pleading eyes.

Professor Guo said in a consultative tone: "I am very happy to accept you two apprentices, but it is very tiring to do agricultural machinery manufacturing."

I wonder what you two mean on a whim? Or is it a permanent ambition? ”

He didn't wait for them to answer, but emphasized again: "Let me state one thing first, it's really hard to do this business."

How can you young people in the city endure the bitterness of the scorching heat and cold? Professor Guo asked again.

The two replied together: "We are determined to learn from the two of you all our lives, and it is not a whim." ”

The two of them then stretched out their hands again, and one of them took the professor's hand and asked excitedly, "Are you really willing to take us both as apprentices?" ”

Professor Guo said solemnly: "Yes, I am a hundred willing!" But I don't know how long you two can last long? ”

Qin Chun and Li Zhongqiu said at the same time, "It's really a lifetime!" The two of them said firmly, and then clapped their hands together in delight.

Professor Guo and Zhang Zhishu exchanged glances with great excitement, and the two also high-fived and said, "Okay!" ”

Professor Guo added with a smile: "I will accept you two apprentices, and they will teach for free!" ”

Zhang Guangming hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and immediately said, "Don't hurry up and thank our teacher Guo!"

The two intellectuals wiped their tears of excitement with great excitement, and at this time, the two of them were so excited that they bowed a ninety-degree bow solemnly and respectfully to the professor.

Then the two of them shouted with gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Guo!" The two of them cooperated very tacitly, and the two intellectuals said in unison.

Qin Chun took Professor Guo's hand and said, "We are so lucky to be in your home and listen to you, a great expert, teach us in person!" ”

Li Zhongqiu was also busy saying: "You are a famous agricultural machinery expert!" I don't know what words to use to express my excitement right now. I, thank you so much! ”

The teacher's selfless acceptance of apprentices made the two apprentices excited, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.

The two hurriedly gave up their seats to the teacher and poured tea, and Professor Guo told them not to be so polite anymore. Everyone turned from sadness to joy.

Zhang Guangming smiled and said, "Big brother, I won't let you do it all the time, I'll go to the secretary of the commune tomorrow to talk about it." ”

Unexpectedly, Professor Guo resolutely refused.

He said: I can't implicate you, if you don't get it right, you will be dismissed and investigated.
