Chapter 55: Returning Home
When I came out of the meeting room with Aunt Liu, I saw Deputy Director Li standing in the compound, looking at him with a smile.
"Aunt Liu, wait", Li Guocheng walked towards Deputy Director Li.
"Xiao Li, are you okay? Take you off today, go to work tomorrow and find me, and communicate with you about something."
"Okay, thank you for your concern", no matter what Deputy Director Li is for, today's move is very moving.
"Let's get busy", Deputy Director Li smiled and patted Li Guocheng's shoulder.
"Let's go, the car is parked there, you have a holiday today, it's just noon, go to the house to eat first, and then send you back to the compound in a car, now everyone in the compound thinks you were shot", after speaking, Aunt Liu couldn't hold back and laughed.
Sitting in a half-used gas car, Li Guocheng fell into deep thought on the way.
Li Guocheng understands that Zhao Ting has been paying attention to herself, at least this matter has been paying attention to, otherwise even Deputy Director Li doesn't seem to know about the affairs of the courtyard, but Aunt Liu knows it in such detail, and she thought of a way to erase the influence for herself, and her heart swelled with warmth.
The more I understand this society, the more I find that everyone has unconditional trust in this country, although they live in poverty, they are very optimistic and satisfied, and they are deeply infected, so they want to do something for this society.
If you leave here and go abroad to develop, there will definitely be a lot of money, but how many people in the team trained in 10 years will come back with you, and if you study cutting-edge technology abroad, whether you can come back at that time, the ability to gather intelligence abroad has been proven by later generations.
In the past ten years, if the development of domestic science and technology is slow, before the reform, it will be completely abandoned by the impact of foreign technology, and completely superstitious in foreign science and technology, culture, art, education, medical care and other aspects from the consciousness level, resulting in the flower growers have repeatedly faced the verge of collapse, elite flight, capital flight, public knowledge, and expert flooding.
What can you do if you stay? Just like this secret mission, according to Aunt Liu, our efforts in just over half a month can improve local advantages. What are the consequences of something like this slowly accumulating? Will there be a ripple effect that will lead to the preservation of national self-confidence until the reopening? Could it be that most of the elite remained?
The more Li Guocheng thought about it, the more determined he became, stayed, and did his best to maintain his self-confidence for the country in a certain field.
I'm sorry, Sister Basket, I hope I can compensate you in ten years.
Li Guocheng changed from a leaning position to a sitting position, looked at the window, and found that the car was in a stopped state.
"Aunt Liu is home".
"Well, it's been a while, and it didn't bother you to see you pondering."
"I'm sorry, I suddenly got a little hysteria."
"It's understandable, I've been tired for more than half a month, and I've been censored again, and it's really easy to appear in my current state."
"Let's go into the house, you can chat with Xiaoting for a while, and the meal will be ready immediately."
"Thank you, Aunt Liu".
In the main room, Li Guocheng on one side of the table, Zhao Ting on the other, in addition to starting to greet a few words, the two have been silent for more than 10 minutes, Zhao Ting said, "You are whatever", and then lowered his head and continued to read, Li Guocheng opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say, so he picked up the book next to him and read it, what content, I don't know, and the pages didn't turn.
In the end, Li Guocheng seemed to have made up his mind, looked up at Zhao Ting and asked:
"No recent assignments?".
"There are out, but they are all in the city", Zhao Ting also put the book on her lap and looked at Li Guocheng.
"Are they all dangerous?"
"There are very few times when there is danger".
"But it's all deadly."
Zhao Ting didn't answer, lowered her head, but fortunately didn't pick up the book again.
"Don't want to change jobs?" , Li Guocheng continued.
"Someone has to do this job, I'm used to it, and I can't let it go."
"Didn't think about finding a partner?".
Zhao Ting looked up at Li Guocheng, her expression was very calm, and she lowered her head again, her face was a little red and a little angry.
Li Guocheng saw that Zhao Ting didn't answer, so he was shameless.
"I want to be your object?".
Zhao Ting suddenly raised her head, and she didn't care if the book fell to the ground.
"I can't be a good wife, I often go on assignments, there is no tomorrow today, and I won't get the blessing of my family."
"You are my woman, I am willing to accompany you on my way, no matter what the result is", after figuring it out, Li Guocheng did not waver.
After being silent for a while, Li Guocheng did not speak again, and looked at Zhao Ting firmly.
"Let me think again".
As he slowly got in touch with him, Li Guocheng could also think of why such a determined girl had a good impression of herself, the only reason was that she was very traditional. learned from Aunt Liu that Zhao Ting did not refuse the blind date before, but only after that incident happened, she resolutely refused the blind date. Before, Zhao Ting didn't have to start from the beginning, she probably didn't want to "harm" others. was rescued by herself for the second time, and she loosened herself, otherwise she wouldn't have let herself touch the injury on her face last time.
"Hey, I can't let her carry my own pot, if I don't figure it out, I'll really ruin a good girl. I will definitely climb to a certain height in the future, and I will definitely be able to shelter her from the wind and rain," Li Guocheng thought secretly.
"There's no hurry, you need time, I understand".
"It's time to eat", Aunt Liu appeared at the right time, you said that it was a coincidence, Aunt Liu couldn't listen to the root of the wall, and she secretly encouraged Li Guocheng and gave him a thumbs up.
The meal was very harmonious, comfortable and warm. After the meal, they chatted for a while, proposed to say goodbye, and then Aunt Liu personally drove them away. When she went out to say goodbye, Zhao Ting didn't repeat her previous words, and smiled hard. Anyway, that's how Li Guocheng feels.
Along the way, Aunt Liu talked about some Zhao Ting's past that she could talk about, and in the process, she knew Zhao Ting's family situation, and also knew that now Zhao Ting's second aunt has always wanted to introduce her nephew to her, the same family, the same compound, and they grew up together.
Li Guocheng is under a lot of pressure, but at the same time his heart is more determined,
When the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Aunt Liu deliberately honked the horn a few times, and waited for someone to come out of the compound before allowing Li Guocheng to get out of the car.
"Comrade Li Guocheng, thank you for your outstanding performance in this mission, the relevant rewards will be notified to the rolling mill in the future, and I hope you will make persistent efforts and make new contributions", Aunt Liu got off the car very formally, shook her hand and said.
"Thanks to the affirmation of the leaders, I will definitely insist on studying and working hard", Li Guocheng also agreed.
Aunt Liu got into the car, honked the horn a few more times, and drove away.
"Oops, isn't this Xiao Li? You're out of breath, it's actually the leader who personally sent you back", the three mothers shouted exaggeratedly after the car drove away, and behind them was the aunt and daughter-in-law who heard the horn.
"Hey, the leader raised love, but didn't actually do anything?" , Li Guocheng pretended to be addicted, but his heart was full of gratitude to Zhao Ting and Aunt Liu.
