Lin Yan let Qinghua look at her, already guessing her purpose.
She smiled and said, "Do you see anything?"
Qinghua shook his head and said bluntly: "It looks similar to other dolls, except that it looks better and more energetic than other dolls."
"Haha, that's for sure. They both have two eyes and one mouth. Can I still have one more eye?" Lin Yan blinked, "You learn very quickly, and you can no longer tell what you say about Sun City. newcomer."
Qinghua's Sun City words are indeed good. She has been studying hard since the first time she came here.
"Thanks to your pinyin, it's so easy to use. I also learned it during school, so I learned it so quickly."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "It's better that you work hard and study hard. This is good. It's very convenient for us to communicate. How are Qingjun and the others doing with their studies?"
"It's good. Qingjun and the others are doing well here and have learned a lot."
The two chatted for a while, and Qinghua said directly: "I heard that you grew the wheat by yourself. We want to buy wheat seeds. Will you sell them?"
Finally getting to the point, Lin Yan thought to herself. She thought for a while before saying, "Your tribe wants to buy wheat seeds. How are you going to buy them?"
Upon hearing this, Qinghua felt that there was something interesting. Lin Yan's expression was neither surprised nor rejected. As long as the price he offered was appropriate, there was room for negotiation.
But Qinghua couldn't figure out what Lin Yan wanted. The best thing about the Qingyan tribe was mineral salt, but these days she could see that it was not so easy for people in Sun City to recognize and accept mineral salt.
"What do you want from us in exchange?"
Lin Yan shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet. It doesn't matter if I say it alone, it needs the consent of the arbitral tribunal. To be honest, I can't guarantee whether the arbitral tribunal agrees or not."
"Do you personally agree?" Qinghua asked. She also knew that it was not easy to get wheat seeds, so she came to convince Lin Yan first.
Lin Yan nodded, "I personally agree. Wheat seeds can feed more people and raise more babies. Hunting for a living is too dangerous. Sun City also lived like this at first, and it was not until the discovery of wheat seeds that it changed. . People's lives have improved in the past two years, I have seen it with my own eyes. I also want to help the Qingyan tribe."
Qinghua said excitedly: "Do you really think so? We are not in the same tribe as you, nor are we people. Almost no one thinks the same as you."
"Yes, this is what I really think. I also know that no one is like me, but it is not easy to survive in this wilderness. We are all human beings and the same kind. Only by helping each other can we defeat the vicious beasts and live better. "
"That's great." Qinghua looked at Lin Yan with admiration. She thought that Lin Yan's transcendent status in Sun City was really different.
After talking to her in person, Qinghua felt that Lin Yan's ideas were naive, but she made people admire her. She is just a child, but she can live a better life for the human race without any selfish motives and put aside the prejudices between tribes.
Qinghua felt guilty. She had never thought about it this way. When she met Lin Yan, she was thinking about what price she had to pay in exchange for wheat seeds. She just wanted to benefit the Qingyan tribe and make her people's lives better.
Compared with Lin Yan, I am still selfish, not as selfless and generous as Lin Yan.
Lin Yan promised Qinghua that he would try his best to persuade the arbitration tribunal to let her go back first.
Qinghua walked out of the laboratory, her heart was racing and she couldn't calm down for a long time. She thought that with Lin Yan's help, the possibility of success was very high.
After going to school again and hearing the sound of children reading aloud, Qinghua felt that sending Qingjun and the others to Sun City was the right choice.
With Lin Yan's presence, Sun City will teach Qingjun and the others more. Qinghua couldn't tell what kind of thing it was, but she felt it was right.
The next day, Lin Yan came to the Civil Service Court to meet Alan.
When she arrived, Alan was busy writing something, very focused. Lin Yan looked at it quietly for a few seconds, and suddenly realized that Alan was really old.
A head full of white hair, many ridges and spots on his face, and a stooped body all indicate that Alan is old and aging.
Seeing Alan like this, still working hard for Sun City, Lin Yan suddenly worried, how long can Alan last?
Sensing that someone was coming, Alan looked up and saw that it was Lin Yan. He immediately smiled and said, "You didn't make a sound even though you were here. What are you looking at?"
"Hey, I saw you were busy, so I didn't bother you."
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Alan knew that Lin Yan never showed up when nothing happened.
Lin Yan found a stool and sat down, "There will be a bumper wheat harvest this year. Everyone should have enough food to eat. No one will be hungry anymore."
"Yes, everyone will have enough to eat this year." Alan was very happy. "When I saw the statistical results, I knew that every household would be better off this year. However, we still can't be careless about wheat planting every year in the future. The children are all As you grow, you eat more and more.”
"Who says it's not the case. Alan, Qinghua went to see me yesterday."
Alan immediately understood why Lin Yan came, "What do you think?"
"The Qingyan tribe wants wheat seeds, so I think I can give them to them. Of course, it won't be for free, so they can buy it."
"That's what you say. But what can the Qingyan tribe buy? They don't have anything valuable. The best thing is mineral salt. Wheat seeds are different from ordinary goods. Once sold, our flour will not be sold in the future."
"You don't agree? This way, more people will not go hungry, and it will benefit the whole country. When there were no wheat seeds before, I was thinking that when I find wheat seeds, I must benefit more people." Lin Yan thought I wasn't too surprised if Alan refused.
Alan didn't nod or shake his head, she said: "Your idea is good. But not everyone can understand you. Most people can only see the immediate interests and only think about themselves. The Qingyan tribe is an outsider. , it’s even more difficult.”
"It's difficult to do it, but it's for long-term development." Lin Yan was very determined, "Alan, are you willing?"
She felt that as long as Alan agreed, the rest of the people could be convinced even if they objected. After all, he is the person who has managed Sun City for several years. Most people are convinced by Alan's words.
Alan didn't answer, looked outside, closed the door, and lowered his voice: "What do you think about Qingyan and the wilderness tribe? Since you asked them to send people to school to learn our words and language, it's not just for communication. Is it convenient?"
"You're right." Lin Yan admitted simply, "I have also thought about it these days. What I am doing now is to lay the foundation for the future."
"The outside world is huge and there are countless people. If one day we encounter a powerful country with a large population and they want to annex Sun City, what will we do?"
Alan was shocked, "Is there really such a country? Our ancestors have lived here for generations and have never seen outsiders." She subconsciously felt that what Lin Yan said was very far away.
