Chapter 414: Chapter 414 Different

At that moment, Lin Chuxia spoke up, "I think we should listen to the village chief on this matter. Our family has many members, and there’s only the one empty room where Technician He is staying now. It really can’t accommodate any more."

Liu Yahong didn’t expect Lin Chuxia to object and asked reflexively, "How can it not accommodate anyone? I heard that your family just built a new house last year, with only your in-laws living in it. Now, with an extra technician from the Agricultural Research Institute, there’s still a room available."

Lin Chuxia, with her hands in her pockets, silently looked at her. Her pair of black eyes, lit up by the light bulb in the corner of the grain drying yard, shone exceptionally bright, giving off an indescribable sense of pressure.

Liu Yahong held her gaze for a few seconds before backing down, feeling somewhat resentful. The words that came out of her mouth were somewhat accusatory.

"Are you just unwilling to have me stay at your house? We are technicians sent by the county, here at Qin Family Village to support the construction of your village’s vegetable greenhouses. For work, I’ve even given up the chance to go back home. Shouldn’t you be fully supporting our work? Whatever the reason, you are now making things difficult for a technician; shouldn’t you feel ashamed of your mean-spirited thoughts?"

She was about to expose her right in front of Technician He.

Don’t think that just because you have a little money and some good looks that you can do whatever you want, as if everyone should hold you in high regard.

Just a steamed bun seller, after all, what’s so great about that.

Lin Chuxia smiled faintly and finally spoke.

"Technician Liu came to Qin Family Village to support the village’s vegetable greenhouse construction. As for your technical contributions, I haven’t seen much to speak of, but you’ve managed to learn a lot about our family’s affairs. Have you also looked into whether the other room is reserved for my eldest aunt? She needs it when she returns to her family home. As for whatever thoughts Technician Liu mentioned, I know what I am doing, and don’t need your reminder."

After Lin Chuxia finished speaking, she nodded to the village chief and left with Qin Han and Technician He.

The village chief was also displeased, and Lin Chuxia was right. This Technician Liu, it wasn’t apparent what technical expertise she brought, but she certainly did cause chaos.

What attitude does Lin Chuxia have towards the people of Qin Family Village, and did she need her to cause trouble here with a few words?

But, given that she was dispatched by the county, they still had to treat her courteously.

Liu Yahong knew that she wouldn’t be able to stay at the Qin family’s place and glancing at the village chief, said, "I think we should also move Technician He to the village chief’s house tomorrow. Letting Technician He stay at such a person’s house, who knows if he can rest well. Technician He has come all the way from the capital; the village chief, you shouldn’t casually arrange for him to stay at a villager’s home."

The village chief thought to himself that Technician He was personally invited from the Capital Agricultural Science and Technology Institute by Lin, how could Lin treat him poorly?

Moreover, what conditions do the Qin family have and what does his own family have?

The village chief had seen for himself when Technician He arrived; the room prepared by the Qin family was all new.

Even their meals were almost like his family’s New Year’s feast.

He muttered to himself in his heart but still put on a smile and said, "We don’t have much space in our house either, and my son is quite naughty and mischievous, so I truly apologize for not being able to let Technician He share a room with him."

Liu Yahong seemingly understood and, pretending to help the village chief think of a solution, said, "Why not let Technician He stay at a guest house? Doesn’t Qin Family Village have so many industries? You can’t possibly tell me they can’t afford a guest house?"

The village chief immediately shut his mouth, unable to maintain the smile on his face.

The village chief was not happy at all, and Li Jinglin was similarly frustrated.

By now it had gotten dark, and he and Hu Lichun were riding their bicycles home.

The two lived in the residential complex of the Agricultural Bureau, with Hu Lichun being a few years older than Li Jinglin. Both of them worked in the same department, and Hu was, in a sense, Li Jinglin’s direct superior.

It’s just that for their kind of unit, apart from the few top leaders, everyone else in each department is also hard-working.

"Once we return today, Liu Yahong will stay in the village. Do you think Technician He and Village Chief Qin will have any objections about the two of us?"

Although Li Jinglin doesn’t want to stay in the village, he also doesn’t want to be affected in this respect.

Hu Lichun was much more relaxed, "No worries, I don’t think Technician He is that kind of person."

He turned his head and glanced at Li Jinglin, "Haven’t you realized it yet? Technician He is definitely a person with strong professional knowledge and extremely serious about his work. His research on vegetable greenhouses and off-season vegetables definitely didn’t just start recently. For someone like him to be invited by Qin Family Village, they must have put in a lot of effort."

Li Jinglin nodded, "I heard that it was Mr. Lin from Xiyang Food Company who invited him. The woman I saw today is nothing like what I had imagined."

Hu Lichun smiled and asked him, "How so?"

Li Jinglin didn’t miss the teasing in his eyes and shot back, "Weren’t you surprised as well?"

He sighed while looking at the distant streetlights, "I never expected Mr. Lin to be so young and such a beautiful woman. When I heard about her before, I thought she would at least be a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties."

Speaking of this, he remembered Liu Yahong, "I don’t know what the head of the Agricultural Bureau was thinking, letting someone like Liu Yahong who knows nothing about planting techniques join us in the field. Isn’t that just causing trouble? Now she’s staying in Qin Family Village and we are running back; really...it doesn’t matter where you live if you’re serious about working with technology."

And they insisted on staying at the Qin Family’s place, even if the Qin Family wasn’t happy about it.

He felt embarrassed just standing on the sidelines.

Hu Lichun laughed, "Just say that you want to go back to your wife, why bother getting upset over it? We can’t question the leaders’ decisions; just do your job well."

"I don’t necessarily need to go home, I’m just saying. Let’s just head back, and if need be, we can head over earlier tomorrow morning."

...

By the time Liu Yahong and the village chief arrived home, the village chief’s wife was cooking.

Seeing the village chief return with a female technician, the village chief’s wife wiped her hands on her apron, looking at her husband unsure what to do.

The village chief made it clear, "Cook one more dish tonight. Technician Liu will be staying with us from now on. Later, make sure to warm up Yufeng’s room well and lay out an extra quilt."

"Would it be okay to fry some cabbage? That’s all we have left at home. I’ve made corn porridge, and we have leftover steamed buns from lunch. If that’s not enough, I can make some dough drops, they taste good in the porridge."

The village chief’s wife negotiated, glancing at Liu Yahong from time to time.

"Sure, just arrange as you see fit. You take Technician Liu to Yufeng’s room to have a look first. Yufeng should be getting off work soon, right?"

"She should be arriving home soon. When she gets here, we’ll have her warm the kang."

The village chief nodded, feeling that he had made everything clear and went back to his room.

After all, she was a female comrade; leaving the eating and living arrangements to his wife was better. It was inconvenient for an old man like him to ask too many questions.

The village chief’s wife now felt at ease. Back when her husband was the brigade leader, they had hosted visitors at their home; she still remembered how to take care of them.

"Technician Liu, you go back to your room and rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon."
