When the plane flew high in the sky, Lin Liu looked at the white clouds under his feet through the porthole. Some of the white clouds were like sheep, some were like mountains, floating in the blue sky, and the airplanes were like towers in the sky. When he came, Lin Liu was busy conceiving the composition of the peony, and when he left, he was relieved and had the heart to watch it. She couldn't help but recite a few lines of poetry that she composed casually:

Empty clouds,

Where is home?

Being adrift,

The heart is wandering......

The blue-eyed silver-haired old lady next to her sat heard the sound, turned her head to look at Lin Liu, and raised her thumb and praised: "OK, OK......" Maybe the old lady also has a cloud complex, and the poem touched her heart. She asked Linliu in concise and stiff Chinese: "Where are you—going?" "I'm going to Jining Airport in Shandong Province." Lin Liu said. The old lady said, "I'm also going to-there, going--Lu-Nan--to inspect garlic-" Lin Liu saw that the old lady was having a hard time speaking Chinese, so she communicated with the old lady in English. When Lin Liu was in middle school, his English scores were very good, and his English proficiency improved greatly when he studied the self-examination university English course.

The old lady said that she is from the United States, named Alice, 76 years old this year, engaged in international trade, mainly engaged in the import and export of agricultural and sideline products, this time she went to southwest Lu to inspect garlic and wanted to purchase garlic in bulk. The old lady is still doing her career despite her old age, and this spirit makes Lin Liu admire it very much. The old lady admired Linliu very much and thought that Linliu could do a great job.

After getting off the plane, the old lady had dinner with Linliu, and Linliu paid in advance. The old lady was very touched by Linliu's enthusiasm and civilization, and she personally experienced the good quality of Chinese and the specific manifestations of ancient civilization. Lin Liu introduced to the old lady that the county where she was located was the hometown of garlic, and if she was interested, she could go together, and the old lady was of course very happy.

Arriving at the county seat of Linliu, Linliu took the old lady to stay in a well-known hotel, and rented a tricycle to go home.

At 8 o'clock the next day, Lin Liu went to the painting institute to report to the leaders about the old lady's visit, and the leaders immediately reported to the county government. The county magistrate personally took Lin Liu to see the old lady. Lin Liu was the translator, the spoken language was fluent, the county magistrate showed an appreciative look, the two sides negotiated very successfully, and then everyone went to the garlic field to investigate. Thousands of acres of garlic seedlings, green, very gratifying, this is the first time Alice has seen such a large area of garlic planting scale, can't help but be overjoyed.

Alice signed a letter of intent with the county government, and then the county magistrate took Alice to visit the painting and calligraphy institute, and Liu Lin performed and painted on the spot, and presented a painted peony painting to Alice, Alice was overjoyed.

"Miss Linliu, come back to the United States with me, I have no children and no daughters, let's live together, and I will pay you a high salary." Alice said this in English.

"No, no, I have parents at home, and I love my hometown." Lin Liu politely declined.

"It's a pity that you are a good and gentle girl, which will further deepen my understanding of the good qualities of Oriental people." Alice said, "If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask, and I will help." ”

Once you make an airplane, you will recruit foreign businessmen, and the county magistrate calls on the heads of various departments to learn from Linliu. Linliu's name is popular all over the county's administrative departments. Some units also hung banners - learn from Comrade Linliu and start a business!
