A powerful country in scientific research

At the school gate, Jiang Hongmei had arrived early to wait for her daughter. When someone came out of the school, she kept looking inside, for fear that she would miss her daughter and the two would miss each other.

A lot of people came out, but Su Ran still hadn't come out. Jiang Hongmei became a little anxious.

Then she heard her daughter calling her.

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

Jiang Hongmei saw Su Ran's surprised face and said, "Ran Ran, when did you come out? Why didn't I see you?"

Su Ran: "I just went to the toilet, so I came out from the east."

"No wonder, I was wondering why you didn't come out yet. Come on, let's go home and have dinner. Grandma has made something delicious for you."

Su Ran nodded with a smile, "Okay, Mom, when did you come?"

"A little after eleven o'clock."

"So early."

"What's the big deal? When I got here, there were so many parents that I could barely squeeze in."

Su Ran laughed, "Okay, everyone is very positive."

"That's not."

With that, Su Ran sat on the back seat of the electric car, and the mother and daughter returned home.

When I got home, Grandma Jiang was the only one there.

When they came in, Grandma Jiang was carrying out the dishes. Seeing them, she smiled and said, "You're back. Go wash your hands and eat."

"Mom, Dad and Xiaolei haven't come back yet?" Jiang Hongmei asked as she took off her coat.

Grandma Jiang: "No, it should be soon."

Jiang Hongmei: "Well, Mom, is there anything else to do?"

"That's all. Everything is ready. Just wash your hands and eat." Grandma Jiang replied.

"okay."

Su Ran and Jiang Hongmei, mother and daughter, came out after washing their hands. Su Lei and Grandpa Jiang also arrived.

Jiang Hongmei: "Dad, Xiaolei, you are back."

"Ah."

Grandma Jiang in the kitchen heard what Jiang Hongmei said and shouted, "Xiao Lei, go wash your hands with your grandpa, and come out to eat quickly after washing."

"Eh."

"Go right away."

The grandparents and grandchildren went to wash their hands obediently.

"There are so many people picking up and dropping off their children today." Jiang Hongmei sighed.

Grandpa Jiang nodded in agreement, "Yes, especially those who pick up their children, there are more people than in the morning."

"There are so many people. There were quite a lot of people when we went there in the morning. It was almost crowded." Grandma Jiang said in surprise.

Jiang Hongmei was also very surprised. "It's not so bad in the primary school. When we went there in the morning, there were not many people. It was only at noon that there were more people."

Su Ran nodded in agreement, "Indeed there weren't many parents in the morning."

Grandpa Jiang looked puzzled. "What's going on? Did Xiaolei's school agree to send their children to take the exam?"

"Xiao Lei's test site is full of his classmates, and they are all children. Their parents must be even more worried, so those who can go have probably gone. For example, here, they all have gone to work like me, and their family members are relieved, so naturally fewer people go to send their children off." Su Ran explained with a smile.

Grandpa Jiang: “That’s true.”

"Ranran is very smart." Grandma Jiang said proudly.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the meal was finished quickly. As it might affect the exams in the afternoon and tomorrow, no one talked about anything related to the exams today.

After finishing their meal, Su Ran and Su Lei, brother and sister, went back to their rooms to rest and recharge their batteries for the afternoon exam.

He Cheng, Wang Kaixuan and others from Anbei County did not receive such good treatment.

The lunch time was short and they couldn't go back to the team, so they could only find a place to stay in Anbei County. Their lunch was pretty good. They went to a state-owned restaurant and had fish, meat, and delicious vegetarian dishes, which were nutritionally balanced.

Everyone was very satisfied with the lunch, but after the meal, there was no place to stay.

Just when everyone was hesitating about where to go, He Cheng heard someone calling him.

"Director He."

He Cheng turned his head and saw a man with a familiar face looking at him with surprise.

"Director He, it's really you. I thought I was seeing things. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

He Cheng recognized the middle-aged man who was speaking as Wang Dahai, the manager of the state-owned restaurant. He smiled and said, "Manager Wang, long time no see."

When the oil press was first built, the state-owned restaurant started cooperating with it and supplied them with oil, not sure whether it was because of the quality of the oil or because the leaders had instructed them to do so. Anyway, not long after the oil press was built, the oil press started cooperating with the state-owned restaurant and supplied them with oil.

When the oil was first delivered, He Cheng would always follow along, so he was quite familiar with Manager Wang.

He Cheng turned around, and Manager Wang realized that everyone from the oil press factory seemed to have come over. He then realized that He Cheng and the others might have come over because of the college entrance examination.

This year, most of the educated youth can take the college entrance examination, so Wang Dahai can understand it.

He looked at everyone with a smile and asked, "Director He, Director Zhang, Director Wang, are you here to take the exam?"

He Cheng nodded.

Zhang Qing and a few other people who knew Wang Dahai greeted him with a smile.

Wang Dahai: "Have you finished eating?"

"Yes, I have already eaten."

Wang Dahai said with some regret: "Well, I still want to treat you to a meal. It's rare to meet you in my place."

This was not just a polite remark from Wang Dahai. Although the state-owned restaurant is state-owned, their turnover has been increasing since they used the oil from the oil press. The leaders above have praised them several times. This is all thanks to the oil from the oil press. Although there is no purchase restriction on the oil from the oil press now, if the oil press produces some new products, they will still be given priority. Therefore, Wang Dahai has a very good impression of the oil press.

Besides, even if their state-owned restaurant is state-owned, it is only in Anbei County. The Qinghe Oil Press is now famous throughout China. In another two years, He Cheng and others will probably be figures that Wang Dahai cannot reach. Now that he has the opportunity to have more contact with them, he must seize the opportunity.

He Cheng smiled and said, "Manager Wang, you are too polite."

Wang Dahai: "Is the afternoon exam still a long way off?"

Wei Qi: "Start at two o'clock."

Wang Dahai's eyes lit up, the opportunity had come.

He quickly suggested, "It's still early, why don't you all rest in our store? It's so cold outside, it would be bad if you get frozen and affect the exam."

After Wang Dahai finished speaking, Wei Qi and the others were somewhat moved. They looked at each other and seemed to have no objection.

He Cheng: "That's troublesome."

Wang Dahai waved his hand and said, "It's no trouble at all." He then waved and called the waiter over, "Xiaohong, take Director He and the others to the private room, and pour some hot tea over."

Zhang Xiaohong hurried over upon hearing this and took He Cheng and the others to the private room. Having a temporary place to stay made the educated youths of Qinghe Brigade feel more at ease, after all, they had exams not only today, but also tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
