Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1457 My Altay 4

Li Wenxiu, who was missed by Xu Qin, came to visit early the next morning. Xu Qin pulled her into his room as usual and directly stated his proposal: "I think you have a certain talent for writing. I have a lot of information about magazines and newspapers here. I hope you can consider this aspect."

Li Wenxiu was eager to try after hearing this, but then she felt timid and said, "I'm going to write? I'm afraid..."

Xu Qin interrupted directly: "Nothing like I'm afraid or but."

"Just start writing."

“If you don’t know what to write, why not write down our conversations yesterday and today, write down your thoughts and feelings afterwards, and write down the images or ideas that suddenly popped up in your mind during this time.”

Li Wenxiu simply waved her hands and said, "I can't do it..."

Xu Qin continued to encourage: "Don't worry about whether it works or not, just do it first."

"Writing is not something that will disturb others, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden. Just start writing. Even if you don't do it well at first, there is a saying that goes 'If you read 300 Tang poems, you will be able to recite them even if you can't write them', which is about the benefits of reading more and practicing more."

“You may not get what you want if you make an effort, but if you do nothing, you will definitely get nothing.”

Xu Qin didn't want to talk too much today, so she stuffed a few prose collections into Li Wenxiu's hands and asked her to read them slowly. Before leaving, she was willing to lend them to Li Wenxiu to take home and read, "Don't rush to return them to me. I'll send them back when you've finished reading them."

Many people came to Xu Qin to inquire about the university and the capital, but Li Wenxiu was the only one who was as sincere as she was. Xu Qin felt a little disappointed, especially since she couldn't tell these things to her family at all.

In Xu Qin's view, no matter which nationality, as long as they live on this land, everyone has the right to live a better life, but various conflicts are indeed difficult to avoid.

Fortunately, she is still young, she has seen a lot, and she has plenty of patience.

A few years passed like this, and Xu Qin graduated from university. She got a job in a magazine company as a way to give an explanation to the rest of her family, and then packed her bags and returned to Altay.

Xu Jianguo is still serving the people in the village. Xu Qin returned to the county town and was annoyed by his family's constant complaints, so he simply sold a second-hand light truck and returned to the village.

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu were of course happy to see their granddaughter return, but the two elders did not understand why the child would leave her capital city and insist on coming back to suffer.

Xu Qin said solemnly: "Grandpa and grandma, I have my own ideas. I know I have the ability to stay in the capital to work and live. From now on, I will just treat this place as my hometown and come back only when I remember."

"But I think this place means something different to me. Now the outside world is developing rapidly, and the country will gradually invest in construction. What we ordinary people can do is to adapt to the development of the times. I am happy to contribute my part to this."

"As for settling down in a big city, I would like to leave it to my two younger brothers, and my sister's nephews and nieces."

Grandma Xu wanted to persuade him, but Grandpa Xu stopped his wife in time. When he was carrying Xu Qin on his back, Grandpa Xu said to his wife, "The child has his own ideas. Can we still force him out?"

"Let her stay here for a while, let her experience what life is really like here, maybe she can't stand it and leave."

Places where ethnic minorities live are called villages, but in fact they are just settlements. For example, the village managed by Grandpa Xu is actually the Spring and Autumn settlement of Kazakh, Mongolian and Tibetan herdsmen, and the Spring and Autumn Ranch is nearby.

In Grandpa Xu’s opinion, it is a good thing for young people to have ideas and ideals, but what is more important is to recognize the reality.

Grandma Xu sighed and said nothing, even though she really didn't understand why her granddaughter insisted on returning to the poor little county of Altay after seeing such a prosperous capital.

Xu Qin had a car, and she would drive around the neighborhood every day. Within a few days, everyone in the surrounding settlements knew about her, and many people came to watch the fun.

Xu Qin wandered among these people. Although sometimes they couldn't communicate in the same language, they always found a way to chat with each other, so he heard a lot of things.

For example, Sulitan of Rainbow Bulak is a ferocious and brutal man who kills people without blinking an eye. Everyone warned Xu Qin not to provoke him.

For example, there is a new city dweller who opened a convenience store in Rainbow Bulaq. Her name is Zhang Fengxia.

Hearing the name Zhang Fengxia, Xu Qin quickly asked: "Does she have two braids like this and is she carrying an old man?"

Xu Qin gestured the appearance of two braids on her chest, and everyone understood and responded in unison: "Yes, yes, yes, it's Zhang Fengxia. She runs a small shop and brings her mother with her. Her mother seems to have some problems and sometimes gets lost."

Before Xu Qin could ask more questions, everyone started urging her to open a small shop. "Xu Qin, why don't you open a small shop too? This way we don't have to walk so far—"

Xu Qin declined the offer, "If someone else opens it, I won't open it. I have my own job."

Everyone started to be curious about Xu Qin's laptop again. "Why is this computer so small? I heard that some people's computers are as big as a TV."

Xu Qin explained: "This is called a laptop computer. It is lighter than a desktop computer like a TV. It was developed so that it can be put in a backpack and carried around."

Everyone was also very interested in the capital. Xu Qin took out the photo album again and again to show everyone, and also showed everyone the photos stored in the laptop.

Looking at photos in an album and looking at pictures in a computer are two completely different experiences. People still prefer to look at them on a computer.

The camera Xu Qin brought back also helped everyone take a lot of photos. She could even open a photo studio.

When Grandma Xu saw the income Xu Qin unintentionally earned from helping everyone take photos, she couldn't help but sigh.

Behind everyone's back, she said to Grandpa Xu: "People should go out and see the world. Take our Xiaoqin for example. She came back from college and can easily support a family with just her photography skills!"

And Grandma Xu was increasingly confused as to why Xu Qin had to come back.

Grandpa Xu understood, because after seeing the huge changes in Xu Qin during his freshman year, he regretted instilling the obsession of going to the big city in his son, and inadvertently instilled it in his grandchildren.

He himself has made peace with this seemingly barren land, so why must he drive the children away from it?

For Xu Qin, Li Wenxiu's arrival at Rainbow Blake was a big event.
