Qiu Haoran quickly finished interviewing Qi Yang and his family. Hao Xiangyu asked Qi Yang to stand in front of his four adobe houses and take a photo.
The interview came to a successful end.
The two of them stood up and were about to leave when they were stopped by the village chief.
"Comrade reporter, you guys came all the way from the capital. You didn't even drink a few mouthfuls of water or eat anything when you arrived here. How can we feel sorry for you?”
Qi Delu and Wang Hongmei also hurriedly said,
"Yes, my dear reporters, it's almost mealtime. Let's have a meal before leaving!”
"Our village doesn't have much to entertain. It's just chicken and vegetables. You guys can make do with it and eat some before you leave!”
It was difficult to refuse their hospitality. Moreover, it was almost lunchtime. If Qiu Haoran and the other man left at this time, they would miss lunch when they reached the city.
At this time, there were very few restaurants. There were only one or two state-owned restaurants in the city. If they missed the meal time, it was indeed difficult to eat.
The two of them stayed behind.
Wang Hongmei then killed another chicken and took out some eggs. She cooked a few dishes with onions, cabbage, potatoes, and so on.
The village chief returned home with a few bottles of good wine, peanuts, and salted duck eggs.
Qi Yang's family table was filled to the brim. The village chief invited Qiu Haoran and Hao Xiangyu to sit in the VIP seats, and then he and Qi Yang sat in the lower seats.
His mother, Wang Hongmei, and Qi Dong, Qi Yue, were eating at the small wooden table in the courtyard.
In this era, Chachang Village was the same as other places. When guests came, women would not sit at the table.
Although the Qi Yang family didn't have such a rule, Wang Hongmei, Qi Dong, and Qi Yue felt restrained when they saw strangers, so they might as well cook more. The three of them ate alone at a table without any restrictions.
After three glasses of wine, Qiu Haoran's face turned red. He said to Qi Yang,"
"Qi Yang, which school did you apply for?”
Qi Yang said honestly,
"Stone City Infantry Academy!"
Qiu Haoran was stunned.
With Qi Yang's results, going to Qing Bei was a piece of cake.
But he chose to go to the military school!
He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"Actually, with your results, if you go to Qingbei for further studies, you might be able to display your talent even more. In the future, you might be able to become a famous person!”
"Why don't men take Wu Gou and take over the fifty prefectures of Mount Guan!”
Qi Yang smiled and said,"
"Compared to writing, I prefer to be a soldier and serve my country in the most direct way!”
Hearing this, Qiu Haoran and Hao Xiangyu couldn't help but feel awkward.
Because they were the ones who were good at writing!
This kid was really direct!
However, they knew that this seventeen-year-old boy spoke from the bottom of his heart and did not mean to belittle his profession.
Many young people had the dream of serving the country. They could understand this.
Qiu Haoran smiled and said,"
"Well said, why don't a good man bring Wu Gou!”
"Young people should be brave and ambitious. Be a soldier, use a steel spear to defend our motherland!”
"Once upon a time, I also had such a dream. Unfortunately, my health was not good back then and I was not selected when I was recruited. I had no choice but to write!”
When Qi Yang heard this, he knew that his words might have hurt Editor Qiu a little, so he smiled and said,
"I'm not saying that I'm not good at literature, but I have a second uncle in my family. He spent half of his life in the military, fighting all the way to the Han River before he retired.”
"No wonder!"
Qiu Haoran nodded and said with a smile,"
"So this Second Uncle is an old soldier. Why didn't you invite him over today?”
Second Uncle and Village Chief did not get along. He often pointed at Village Chief's nose and scolded him, but Village Chief could only listen obediently because he did not dare to talk back in terms of seniority and experience.
However, since the village chief was here today, Qi Delu couldn't call Second Master over. Otherwise, Second Master would drink three glasses of wine at the dining table and point at the village chief's nose and scold him.
"He's busy today and can't come. However, if you want to interview him after dinner, I can bring you there.”
Qiu Haoran shook his head and smiled.
His main topic today was to interview Qi Yang. There was no need to interview an old soldier alone.
"Qi Yang, do you have any plans for the future? Do you want to work in the army wholeheartedly?”
Hao Xiangyu asked curiously.
A top scorer in the college entrance examination had chosen a military school. For someone like Hao Xiangyu, who had graduated from an ordinary school and worked hard to become a reporter, it was really a pity.
Therefore, he could not help but want to know what Qi Yang was thinking.
Qi Yang shook his head.
"Other than being a soldier, I also want to make some contributions to the economy of our Dragon Country.”
"Military schools and the economy don't seem to have much to do with each other. What kind of contribution do you want to make?”
Qi Yang smiled."
"Actually, to put it bluntly, I might also engage in some business activities in the future to earn more money and use the money to invest in the army to speed up the research and development of the army and the production of armaments. This will allow our Dragon Country to catch up to the military strength of developed countries as soon as possible."
"Right now, our military expenditure is still a little tight, so I want to use this method to solve our military expenditure problem!”
"In this way, not only will I be considered a credit, but it will also be of great benefit to the army. Both sides will win!”
Qiu Haoran narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Yang with a faint smile."
"Why do you have this idea? Do you know that the country still strictly controls many business activities?”
Qi Yang said calmly,"
"I believe that it won't be long before the country releases its control and allows business! This could be seen from the restoration of the college entrance examination and the return of educated youths to the city!”
"After so many years of silence, our Dragon Country's economy and education are both lifeless! Only by deregulating and implementing a free market economy can our economy be full of vitality and the people live a rich life!”
As the editor-in-chief of the Dragon Country Daily, Qiu Haoran could be said to be standing in the central position of the Dragon Country. He had an unusual ability to detect the development of the Dragon Country.
The country was indeed planning to lift the restrictions on individual sales, and the matter of land contracting to households had already been discussed at the highest authorities.
Just as Qi Yang said, from the restoration of the college entrance examination to the return of the educated youths, one could indeed see some signs of this.
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional. A seventeen-year-old youth in a remote village actually had such amazing observation and judgment!
This child is definitely not a person in the pool!
At the thought of this, he took out a note and wrote down his landline number and address. Then, he handed it to Qi Yang.
"You're a talented and thoughtful person. I really hope to become friends with you. The Stone City Infantry Academy is in Ji Province, and it's very close to the capital.”
