Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Early the next morning, before daybreak, the cousin Gu Zhan mentioned by Zhao Baogen was already waiting outside the door.

Hearing the sound of the tractor, Liu Xiaoxi helped Gu Zhan straighten his collar and smoothed his clothes again: "Alright."

"Does it look good?" Gu Zhan pinched Liu Xiaoxi's delicate cheek and asked with a smile.

Liu Xiaoxi blushed and lowered her head, whispered "looks good", and quickly turned away from Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan was wearing new clothes made a few days ago. Under the dim kerosene lamp, he looked tall and energetic, which made Liu Xiaoxi's heart beat fast.

"I'm leaving, wife."

"Well, hurry up and go, my uncle is waiting outside and he will be anxious soon."

Gu Zhan didn't bring anything this time. He was wearing a rare navy blue suit. From a distance, he looked smart and elegant.

When Gu Daniu saw Gu Zhan striding towards the tractor, his eyes were full of relief, and he secretly sighed that the old Gu family finally produced a figure.

"Uncle Daniel!"

Gu Zhan greeted Gu Daniu loudly, and Gu Daniu nodded with satisfaction: "Gu Zhan, hurry up and get in the car. Uncle will take you to the county to receive the award."

"Okay, thank you uncle."

Along the way, although there was the unignorable sound of tractors and the voices of people traveling with them, the two of them did not feel bored. They chatted with each other and arrived at the county town at about ten o'clock.

According to the agreement with Zhu Changzhi, Gu Zhan went to the County Agricultural Bureau first.

Based on the distance, Zhu Changzhi estimated that Gu Zhan would arrive at the county at no later than twelve o'clock, but who knew that he had already arrived at ten o'clock.

Gu Daniu parked the tractor in front of the door of the Agricultural Bureau, let Gu Zhan get off, and then sent the others to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Gu Zhan paused, looked at the back of Gu Daniu driving the tractor, turned the corner and disappeared, then entered the gate of the Agricultural Bureau.

Zhu Changzhi had just finished a meeting and was looking at the list of people that Gao Yuan had just given him in his office. As soon as he looked up, he saw Gao Yuan leading Gu Zhan towards him.

Seeing Gu Zhan, Zhu Changzhi quickly stood up and welcomed him in: "Gu Zhan, come in quickly."

Gu Zhan walked in with a smile and sat on a stool near the door.

"You came quite early today."

"The captain asked the team's tractor to bring me here." Gu Zhan told the truth.

Zhu Changzhi was deeply impressed by Zhao Baogen, who was honest, down-to-earth and capable.

"Xiao Gu, do you think it's okay for you to make a speech when the time comes?"

When Zhu Changzhi came the day before yesterday, the county did not tell him that the recipients of the awards would be giving speeches. It was not until this morning that they told him that there would be such a speech session.

"Speak?"

Gu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "No problem."

In his previous life, Gu Zhan had achieved many research results in the field of agricultural scientific research. He had made countless speeches and presentations on any occasion at home and abroad. Now it was just a commendation speech, and there would not be any problem at all.

Seeing Gu Zhan's confident look, Zhu Changzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But after seeing Gu Zhan's calmness and nonchalant attitude, Zhu Changzhi felt that he was not too worried.

So he quietly told Gao Yuan, "Go over and gently remind Xiao Gu to see if he can write a speech. What if he gets nervous and forgets the words?"

Gao Yuan walked towards Gu Zhan with a bitter face.

Director Zhu is really something. He lets him come because he is afraid of offending people.

He saw Gu Zhan standing in front of the window, walked up to him and said cautiously, "Xiao Gu, do you think we should write a speech or something?"

Seeing Gao Yuan looking at him with a worried look on his face, Gu Zhan finally came to his senses. He remembered that at this moment, he was just a young man of twenty, and had not yet achieved the remarkable achievements of his previous life, which was why Gao Yuan was worried.

"Okay, I'll write it right away."

Seeing that Gu Zhan agreed, Gao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At around twelve o'clock, the rest of the people on the list of people to be commended also arrived. They were all staff members from various units who assisted Gu Zhan in the preparation of penicillin.

When they saw Gu Zhan, they felt very close to him, as if they had seen a comrade-in-arms who had fought together with them, and came over to say hello.

During the penicillin preparation process, Gu Zhan's outstanding ability and knowledge level impressed them.

After Gu Zhan greeted these people one by one, everyone walked towards the venue together.

At two o'clock, all county-level leaders arrived on time, and the last one to enter was County Party Secretary Tian Yun.

He walked to his seat and glanced at the seats below the rostrum. He saw the young man who saved him that day sitting right in the middle of the people being honored. He connected the Gu Zhan mentioned by Zhu Changzhi with the Gu Zhan who saved him.

This young man always gives people a refreshing feeling.

At the same time, Gu Zhan also saw Tian Yun on the stage clearly. It was the middle-aged man he had saved in the car that day. Gu Zhan withdrew his gaze and listened carefully to Tian Yun's speech.

"The significance of holding this commendation conference is to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and to encourage more young comrades to devote themselves to the social and economic development of our Xia County..."

Tian Yun spoke sincerely, and the young people in the audience were even more excited.

After Tian Yun’s speech, it was time for the commendation session.

"Comrade Gu Zhan, congratulations!" Tian Yun said sincerely.

"Thank you!"

When the representatives of various units in the audience saw the county party secretary personally presenting a certificate of commendation and a bonus to a young man named Gu Zhan, the audience was boiling with excitement and the applause lasted for a long time.

They had also heard about the Agricultural Bureau's preparation of penicillin to treat oxen throughout the county.

At that time, I thought this was a fantasy. It was a joke that penicillin could be produced in a poor place like Xia County. I didn't expect that this young man could actually do it.

It is precisely because of this that they admire Gu Zhan even more. At the same time, Gu Zhan's deeds make them feel that nothing is impossible in Xia County, even though this land is now very barren.

When the commended representative was speaking, Gao Yuan was still a little worried. Before going on stage, he bent down and walked beside Gu Zhan, saying softly, "Xiao Gu, is there any problem? Just go up and speak, don't be nervous."

Gu Zhan chuckled, grateful for Gao Yuan's care, and said softly, "Don't worry, there's no problem."

Finally, it was Gu Zhan's turn to speak. Amidst the applause that filled the conference room, Gu Zhan walked towards the podium with ease.

"Dear leaders, hello, I am Gu Zhan from the Shanghe Village Production Brigade..."

Gu Zhan spoke without notes throughout the entire speech. He looked straight at the people sitting below the podium. He recounted his experiences at work and talked about some ways to overcome difficulties. Just when everyone was still wondering about it, the speech was over.

When everyone realized what was happening, the entire conference room erupted in applause that lasted for a long time.

They had never heard such a sincere speech before. This speech would be of great benefit to them in their future life and work.

From today on, all government workers in Xia County knew a young man named Gu Zhan.
